I attended a conference last year that discussed the usefulness of FB and SN in a classroom setting and almost to a person we agreed that it was not a good idea, nor usefull to teaching and learning as a whole.<br /><br />And let's be honest, if we can see their updates, they can see ours.

Experiences from school or college should be translated to their experience at the university, and of course it rarely does. When it comes to preferences of learning, or learning styles however, I think you could challenge the notion of catering to someone's preferences (or even the existence of a singular preference). <BR/><BR/>I cobbled together some thoughts on that on http://renesassessment.blogspot.com/2007/06/learning-styles.html <BR/>I'd be interested to hear your views on that.René Meijerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061978787000049211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022083755221569149.post-54306626240882840822007-12-12T09:43:00.000-08:002007-12-12T09:43:00.000-08:00I'm not keen on giving out my biometric details wh...I'm not keen on giving out my biometric details when companies and the government are still loosing snsitive data like this left right and center.René Meijerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061978787000049211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022083755221569149.post-80853500765315671962007-09-24T06:17:00.000-07:002007-09-24T06:17:00.000-07:00Hi JaK,While I agree with your comments, I do not ...Hi JaK,<BR/><BR/>While I agree with your comments, I do not think they represent the entire picture. <BR/><BR/>A local developer can be a great asset to a department that can afford it. But what if your department's need does not warrant a full time developer? <BR/><BR/>Another issue is that of institution wide solutions. Managing the University VLE, Developing staff development resources etc. only has to be done once. If every department had their own developer, wouldn't they waste a lot of time redoing these things?<BR/><BR/>Without central teams a University will rarely make structural, institute wide improvements. It might allow for very specialized high end individual solutions, but in the long end it will not lead to a structural improvement I believe. That is not to say local developers can't be useful, for a specialized area with a significant volume of bespoke demands that is certainly a viable solution. But only complementary to central staff, not in stead of.René Meijerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061978787000049211noreply@blogger.com
