Pour complĂ©ter les billets sur l’utilisation de l’IPOD, un article très intĂ©ressant concernant l’utilisation des technologies d’e-learning dans un cours de littĂ©rature “normal” (c’est-Ă -dire prĂ©sentiel) Ă l’UniversitĂ© Georgia College & State.
Ces applications “mĂ©langĂ©es” sont ce qui nous intĂ©ressent le plus chez Speechi car c’est Ă travers l’enseignement traditionnel qu’on touche encore, et pour longtemps,le plus grand nombre.
(Comme dirait de Gaulle, l’e-learning pur est une mĂ©thode en voie de dĂ©veloppement et qui va le rester longtemps.) Outre l’IPOD, je trouve que ce qui est vraiment intĂ©ressant dans l’expĂ©rience dĂ©crite, c’est que des Ă©changes ont pu avoir lieu dans les diffĂ©rents forums qui n’auraient pas pu avoir lieu en cours (en particulier Ă cause des tensions produites lors d’une discussion Ă caractère portant sur un sujet de religion, voir article).
To complement
my tickets about e-learning and IPOD, here is a very interesting example of
e-learning technologies applied to “normal” courses (litterature class at Georgia Colleget and State University). Those “blended” examples are the ones I like best because traditional learning still concerns far more people than pure e-learning so I believe there is more leverage in improving traditional learning than e-learning (other way to say this : e-learning is a very quickly growing area
and that will remain so for a long time). As a consequence, “blended” learning is our real focus at Speechi and this shows, for instance, in the way we try to integrate “physical” devices (
like interactive whiteboards) into the whole application.
I think the most interesting part of the experience is that some discussions could be placed on forums that could not have happened in the class room (because they were about sensitive religious issues). I see lots of other applications to that (shy students may give their opinions on forums, for instance).
