In the Keynote delivered at Distance Learning Administration Conference, 2009. Saint Simon's Island, Georgia, June 21-24, Maria Puzziferro and Kaye Shelton outline many assumptions, and their perspectives, on the next generation of online learning.
In many ways, the advent of more advanced devices such as the Linux based Nokia N900 will change how online learning is considered. The role of mobile devices to support student generated content, the opportunity to apply course content and theories in real time to real world experiences and applications, and the integration of social media for collaboration will change the potential of online learning.Category Archives: education

via youtube.com
This video is the product of the remarkable work of Prof. Jack Shannon (@shannojh) and his class last academic year. Prof. Shannon has been a collaborator of mine on the @SHUmobile project, among others,and has created a unique opportunity for students looking to capitalize on the dynamic nature of learning, technology and business.
Among the technologies the students used in the course were Lenovo Thinkpads, Google Docs, Wikis, Blogs, the Nokia E71, the Amazon Kindle.
I am proud to have been even peripherally involved in this project, as it represents what’s possible when harnessing the power of evolving technologies to support teaching and learning in new and innovative ways.
