THETA Vox pops on the future of education

Posted on 18 April, 2013 by
THETA (The Higher Education Technology Agenda) conference was held recently in Hobart and as part of proceedings, they put out a call for people to submit short, vox pop style videos about the future of education.

Posted on 31 January, 2013 by

Another fantastic post from Cathy Moore thinking about more effective ways to provide feedback to learners in scenarios that offer them decision points. Rather than just hearing “Incorrect” from some voice of God type figure, try to make it a natural extension of the story that you are telling. A quick read well worth the time.
