our tag #DIYLMS12

 

 


Introduction

 

This wiki is created as an experiential portal for a Workshop given at the TESOL Arabia Conference

Dubai Women's College, March 7, 2012

 

Preparation

To help illustrate how I would actually conduct a course during the course of a semester, I have removed the material that was here from OFF the front page (where it contributes to clutter) and to its own page accessible from the sidebar, or via this link: Preparation

 

Handouts

 

Paper-based handouts you should receive on-site

 

  • An encapsulation of this overview, in handout format
    • Shows how you should prepare for this session, if you have time, before the session begins
    • and what we will do during the 1.5 hour session
  • The handout we will follow for team group-work using Google Docs and Delicious: Word doc and pdf file

 

Virtual Handouts you find online

 

 

Program for the session, 14:15 to 15:45

Learning Zone Classroom A  (2nd floor)   Date: 7th March, 2012

 

LMS and CMS

 

CMS = Content

Management System

An example DIYCMS: http://goodbyegutenberg.pbworks.com 

 

LMS = CMS plus learning management

Examples of DIYLMS:

 

Characteristics of CMS/LMS

 

Brainstorm using an Etherpad clone

  • In a big group, list the features
  • In small groups, elaborate on how you use these features 

 

How we can emulate in Web 2.0 the features the participants think are important in DIYLMS?

 

Components can include

  • A wiki portal for course information and organization, with, links pertinent to course content and management, other relevant resources, and screencasts and other tutorials.
  • Google Docs for student submission of assignments. Teacher feedback can be given in-class interactively in real-time via in-class projector, with individual students following along on their laptops. Asynchronously, effective feedback can be given in such a way that it can be immediately seen whenever and wherever students are revising their work. 
  • Blogging, to showcase student work.
  • Etherpad clones for group collaboration tasks
  • Jing and Screenr to create and annotated screen-capture and screencast tutorials
  • A back-channel tool such as Twitter, Skype group chat, or Edmodo 
  • In teacher training, I also use
    • Skype group chat as a synchronous AND asynchronous forum
    • Google Hangout for live webcam and voice-enabled interaction
    • WiZiQ 

 

All of these tools are free and work in my own institutional settings in on HCT campuses in the UAE. In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to experiment with some of the tools and evaluate their efficacy through their experience.

 

Activating DIYLMS

 

Back-channeling

 

Let's pop into

  • Edmodo
  • Twitter 

 

Collaborative writing

 

  • Let's try some Collaborative Writing using Google Docs and see if we can get the tags to appear in our Delicious feeds
    Instructions: Word doc and pdf file

 

  • Here's a follow-on exercise on Team building using Delicious and Google Docs

Tag games

 

In these exercises you create and share Google Docs with your teacher and one another.

Then you Publish them and TAG them in Delicious or Diigo.

Eventually they should show up here: http://delicious.com/tag/diylms12 

 

Always check your proposed tag to see what comes up before you actually use it!

We'll have to use DIYLMS12; here's why ...
