Title:Let's Get Visual! Integrating Concept Maps, Rich Media, Social Software, and the LMS into Teaching and Learning (ID: EDU07186)
Author(s):Eja Kliphuis (INHOLLAND University of Professional Education), Annemiek Scholten (INHOLLAND University of Professional Education), Pim Slot (SURFfoundation), Ulrich Rauch (The University of British Columbia), and Tim Wang (The University of British Columbia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

Today’s students favor visuals and social computing tools, while instructors want to foster the development of deep, expert knowledge. Using concept maps connects student desires and instructor objectives. INHOLLAND University of Professional Education and the University of British Columbia have innovatively linked concept maps, rich media, and Web-based content.

At INHOLLAND University students learn in a visual and social online environment, using concept maps to engage in argumentation, writing, reflection, and brainstorming. Combinations of concept maps and rich media with a learning management system, wikis, and blogs help students create a unique yet structured viewpoint that retains a bird’s-eye view of complex ideas and concepts.

Instructors and staff from INHOLLAND, SURFdiensten, and UBC will discuss the process of choosing, implementing, and piloting a new concept mapping tool; demonstrate 10-plus practices and templates; and present tools in a hands-on manner.

Looking Around the Corner: Moore's Law and the Conundrum of Human Learning

Title:Looking Around the Corner: Moore's Law and the Conundrum of Human Learning (ID: EDU01122)
Author(s):Phillip D. Long (Princeton University) and Howard Strauss (Western Carolina University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Moore's Law has held for the last decade with chip density doubling every 18 months. Human beings have been learning, slowly, in fits and starts, over the course of thousands of years. Yet in the past few years, knowledge had doubled faster than Moore's Law. A panel of intrepid prognosticators will draw from their experiences to suggest what might be forthcoming in the next two years, with particular attention given to the return on IT investments, wireless, increasing connectivity, and technologies that leverage education.
