Educational Technology in a Nutshell

Educational Technology Helps us to improve our knowledge about Computers and gadgets Because as a Future Teacher we need to have a lot of Knowledge about Computers to use in teaching to the student.

First-Generation Learning AnalyticsLearning analytics (LA) applies the model of analytics to the specific goal of improving learning outcomes. LA collects and analyzes the “digital breadcrumbs” that students leave as they interact with various computer systems to look for correlations between those activities and learning outcomes.

Assessing Online Team-Based LearningIn team-based learning, students work in groups on outcome-based or problem-based assignments. Assessing the work produced by teams, however, presents a significant challenge, and this difficulty is especially prominent in online environments. Developing and implementing a transparent assessment process that both supports and recognizes individual and group learning can generate a powerful combination of interdependency and peer cooperation. Online assessment tools that evaluate both individual and group effort support this dynamic, fostering the reliance on community that is becoming an increasingly important feature of the online academic landscape.

LMS AlternativesA traditional learning management system (LMS) provides a set of tools to manage learning resources, administrative functions, assessments, and grading. Alternatives to conventional LMSs include social bookmarking tools, document sharing applications, social networking sites, timeline tools, and media options available in the cloud. Institutions or individual faculty increasingly use various combinations of these and other resources to support their unique learning environments and goals and to perform all of the functions of a traditional LMS tool.

Open Educational Resources

Open educational resources (OER) are any resources available at little or no cost that can be used for teaching, learning, or research. The term can include textbooks, course readings, and other learning content; simulations, games, and other applications; syllabi, quizzes, and assessment tools; and virtually any other educational material.

Open resources are issued under a license that spells out how they can be used: Some may only be used in their original form; in other cases, resources can be modified, remixed, and redistributed. OER expand the access to educational resources to more learners, more of the time, and they have the potential to spur pedagogical innovation, introducing new alternatives for effective teaching.

WordPressWordPress is an open-source web application that is fundamentally a tool for publishing content, and a broad array of colleges and universities have made use of WordPress and encouraged its use among faculty members, staff, and students. For campus-wide use, IT staff can install a local instance of WordPress with the multisite feature enabled; where institutions have not undertaken an installation, some individual instructors have set up their own WordPress instances.

WordPress offers a stable, flexible, and highly configurable platform that provides a one-stop shop as a web development tool and a publishing forum for students and faculty. It offers students the chance to write reflectively for various audiences, giving them practice in having their voices heard and their views considered by a wide variety of individuals.

MOOCs (Massively open online course)

A massively open online course (MOOC) is a model for delivering learning content online to virtually any person—and as many of them—who wants to take the course. Course activities can be scheduled or asynchronous, and a fluid structure is valuable because students can choose their level of participation. A MOOC throws open the doors of a course and invites anyone to enter, resulting in a new learning dynamic.

Service DesignService design is a process that examines the relationship between those who use a service and the service environment. By focusing on and making improvements to the points at which users interact with other people or the environment, service design enables an organization to run smoothly, provide the best service to its users, and reduce the kind of situations that that can generate complaints. It has been effective in traditional customer-centric industries like retail and hospitality and is now seeing use in areas like healthcare, public services, and educational services.

Gamification

Gamification is the application of game elements in non-gaming situations, often to motivate or influence behavior. The rewards or the spirit of competition can spur students’ concentration and interest and lead to more effective learning. The use of gamification is wide-ranging in higher education, from extra-credit awards and in-class team competitions to complex multi-level schemes that can pervade a course

Open Textbook Publishing

The open educational resources model, including textbooks, has emerged as a response to rising text prices, a need for greater access to high-quality learning materials, the proliferation of e-reader devices, and a trend in publishing toward electronic media. Many contend that educational resources should be open and that instructional models increasingly depend on open content. 

Open textbooks can be offered by commercial publishers or found in open repositories. Open resources can promote active learning through student interaction with the text, particularly when they contribute to authorship. Although open textbooks face questions about the accuracy and reliability of their content, they allow higher education instructors to design content for their courses on an as-needed basis, choosing from an array of books, articles, videos, audio recordings, and readings.

The Modern Learning CommonsThe learning commons, sometimes called an information commons, has evolved from a combination library and computer lab into a full-service learning, research, and project space. The cost of a learning commons can be an obstacle, but for institutions that invest in a sophisticated learning commons, the new and expanded partnerships across disciplines facilitate and promote greater levels of collaboration. 

iPad Apps for LearningApplications designed for the iPad offer interactive content that takes advantage of touch-screen navigation.The iPad combines robust computational functionality with a screen large enough to serve as a legitimate replacement for printed textbooks and other course materials. Where the iPad applications have led, other tablets and their attendant applications can be expected to follow, creating a more competitive and diverse market for tools of this type. Applications that live in the spaces where education and entertainment overlap can capture the imagination, enticing students to learn on their own.

Online Media Editing As multimedia resources have become increasingly common, everyday users have a need to perform basic manipulations, such as touching up photographs, mixing music, and editing video. A new breed of online tools facilitates these sorts of activities without the cost or complexity of full-scale software editing suites. Online media editing tools are typically free or low-cost, and because they are web-based, they are available to more users, more of the time, including from mobile devices. Such tools might encourage more instructors and students to explore learning activities and assessments that use new media.

Learning Through Edtech 1 and Edtech 2

I Learned a lot in Educational Technology because it helps me to understand the importance and the uses of technology in teaching. It also develop the skills, mindsets, and perspective to take their futures into our own hands

Educational Technology Helps me to Increase collaboration, Innovate assessment,  Enable learning about information and research, Ownership of learning, Creating, Evaluating, Analyzing, Applying and Understanding.

We also Learned how to create a right PowerPoint in our presentations, We are also use Facebook to use in passing all the activities given by the reporters and Professors ,

The Educational Technology prepares me by helping me to acquire a deeper understanding and mastery of earning resources: messages, people, materials, devices, techniques and settings;processes for analyzing and devising solutions to those problems through research, theory, design, production, evaluation, utilization;the processes involved in organization and personnel management.

The Student after Edtech After Educational Technology I am now confident to use technology instead of using the old ways in reporting's,

It also helps me to aware about the evolution of technology

In This Portfolio some of the learning's about educational technology hope that this portfolio will help others about edtech.
