Nepris - Connecting Industry to Classrooms Creating a Game-Based Online Class One of the things that I like the most about the field of instructional design is the opportunity to think about that hard to quantify meta-level where you are teaching someone how to teach someone else. The most effective way to do this is to have your learner live the experience that you are trying to teach them to create. Unfortunately, the medium of a blog post does not permit me to teach you how to create a game-based curriculum by experiencing it. This adds a layer of complexity to my task, but one that is not insurmountable. Step 1: Define your Objectives This is exactly the same process you should undertake at the beginning of planning for any class.

Keyboarding Online by Ellsworth Publishing Co. Does games based learning work? « One of the questions educators ask me about games is “Does games based learning work?”. It’s a reasonable question, but it’s not the what people mean. Firstly, I can’t begin to answer without also asking them in return “Is play a serious activity?”. Most people seem believe it is, and can cite numerous examples from their own lives. What they are really asking is “How could games based learning work in my context”. cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by dan taylor Children engage in learning processes in several different contexts. Game players can take up a game or put it down at will, but the first-year writing course is rarely voluntary. Many educators have not grown up around video games, and games certainly have not consulted educators in their evolution. Does it work? Like this: Like Loading...

HippoCampus - Homework and Study Help - Free help with your algebra, biology, environmental science, American government, US history, physics and religion homework Mobile Curriculum on an iPhone with iTunes U Have you experimented with building a course yet with the new iTunes U Course Manager? The creation of Apple's web based course manager for the iOS iTunes U app is one of those big deals in education that somehow has flown pretty much under the radar. This is unusual for Apple, where customarily every utterance or new product is met with cult like adoration. An underplayed Apple story? Can't be. But with iTunes U and Course Manager we seem to have an underexposed Apple product. And the biggest deal may be that iTunes U finally delivers a platform that allows us to put our course curriculum in our pocket (as long at that pocket contains an iPhone). The iTunes U app (only available on iOS devices) works with Apple's web based Course Manager portal to allow faculty and learning designers to easily create "courses" that contain documents and media files. We have been experimenting in putting up video files from our lecture capture system (Echo360), and the playback works great.
