Office Mix – PowerPoint, just better

Friday, April 24th, 2015

As the need for a richer educational experience increases, so does the demand for software and apps encouraging and facilitating better and more interaction and collaboration between students and their educators.

office mix2

Of course, we wouldn’t expect any less of Microsoft, who last year, launched Office Mix. According to Microsoft Office Mix was originally created to help educators implement new teaching methods, using the simplicity of PowerPoint. It brings “the same benefits to the professional e-Learning community, with support for SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model), the industry standard for packaging of digital learning content.”

With functions like voice, video and digital ink, polls and interactive apps, insights and analytics and playback on any device, the PowerPoint add on promises to make is easy to turn slides “into interactive online lessons and presentations.”

Teachers can record themselves while presenting and create a video of their presentation. They can write on slides using “digital ink” and insert quizzes, polls, videos, screen captures, screen recordings and other elements. Students can view the interactive document on the Office Mix website.

For analysis after the presentation, statistics are available as well.

To use Office Mix, you will need Office 2013 or Office 365. You can now download it locally from our IT support website.

New tool for critical analysis of academic texts

Friday, April 17th, 2015

With the help of Stellenbosch University, and particularly InnovUS, we have developed Abstrahere Academic, which is a web application and tool to assist masters and doctoral students in the critical analysis of academic texts.

Accademic-logoAbstrahere Academic focuses on academic environments, and assists master’s and PhD students to improve and apply their critical reading skills – an important part of their thesis writing. Open and healthy communication between student and academic supervisor about critical text analysis is an integral part of the reading and writing process.

Master’s and doctoral students received an e-mail invitation from WARP Development to obtain access to the Abstrahere Academic application on the following link: http://academic.abstrahere.co.za

Using the application, you can upload scientific articles directly by selecting either File or URL. You will then be guided by online prompts to analyse the content, and by submitting your responses to a Critical Reading Box you make your own unique summaries for inclusion in the literature survey, theoretical foundations, discussion or conclusions of your thesis/dissertation.

How will Abstrahere Academic assists students with academic reading material?
  • You will be guided to critically assess academic literature in your own unique way.
  • Abstrahere prompts will guide you to summarize the essential ideas in the academic texts you have selected to read.
  • Your Abstrahere Critical Reading Box summaries will better prepare you to select text from academic literature for inclusion in your dissertation.
  • Optional prompts guide you how to manage your own Abstrahere Critical Reading box summaries.
  • You can communicate directly on line with your dissertation supervisor about your Critical Reading Box summaries.

Al documents uploaded on Abstrahere Academic must be in Pdf format. Please remember to activate your Inetkey for on-campus internet access, and to use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome as your web browser (please do not use Internet Explorer because specific Pdf plug-in technical issues are related to Internet Explorer)

Background information on this application is available at http://abstrahere.warpdemo.co.za/. We would greatly appreciate your feedback on this application. Please send your feedback to hjb@sun.ac.za.

Paperless classrooms Google’s aim

Friday, April 17th, 2015

Google Classroom is digital learning management system that aims to simplify creating, distributing and grading assignments, encourage collaboration between students and educators and also aims to create a paperless environment.

This next instalment in Google’s ever-growing repertoire was released in August 2014 on the Google App store. The various Google Classroom apps  are also available for iOS and Android devices (for free) and to anyone with Google Apps for Education, a free suite of productivity tools including Gmail, Drive and Docs.

“Since launching, more than 30 million assignments have gone through Classroom”, noted Jorge Lugo, a software engineer on the Google for Education Classroom team in January 2015 on a Google blog post.

The biggest advantage seems to be in the improvement of educators’ workflow and therefore saving much-needed time. Classroom can be used by educators to create classrooms, post to classroom feeds, communicate with students, and view assignments.

Tutorials on Google Classroom can be found on the Educational Technology and Mobile Learning’s website.

Padlet: your virtual bulletin board

Friday, April 17th, 2015

padlet

Padlet boasts that their platform is “the easiest way to create and collaborate in the world”. A rather presumptuous statement if you think about it.

For that reason we decided to test it for ourselves and you can also let us know if their statement is accurate or just too optimistic.  Can Padlet be used on an academic level or even within other areas within the university? Have a look at our own Bits & Bytes Padlet-page and leave us a message. (You can do this anonymously or leave your name)

But first – what is Padlet?

This seemingly simple platform gives educators, for example lecturers and teachers and learners or students a virtual bulletin board on which they can air their opinions and thoughts on a topic to their heart’s content. It almost works like a traditional board, but with much more functionality. For example, a lecturer can ask a question in class, paste it on a wall and students can comment and collaborate on it during class. You can even load graphics, files, as well as links.

Padlet does have a few handy options to customise your wall just the way you prefer it. Whether you want to change the background or assign specific rights to a particular person. You can even get a QR-code for your site/wall and Padlet is extremely smart phone and tablet friendly.

If you’re interested in what Padlet can be used for, also read Shaun Takenouchi’s article.

 

 

 

 

Padlet provides educators and learners a virtual platform on which to collaborate on a specific topic.

Padlet is a virtual wall that allows people to express their thoughts on a common topic easily. It works like an online sheet of paper where people can put any …

Padlet is the easiest way to create and collaborate in the world

Welcome to Padlet, possibly the easiest way to create and collaborate in the world.

In a nutshell, Padlet is an online bulletin board. History teachers, however, can use this tool in myriad ways. For example, Padlet users can pose open-ended questions and elicit multiple student responses—ideal for posing document-based questions using primary sources.

Tune in to Bits & Bytes

Friday, November 7th, 2014

radio2This September Bits & Bytes celebrated one year on air. Initially Bits & Bytes started out as a newsletter to staff, but over time we realised we have too many interesting things to share, we just can’t keep it to ourselves anymore. But what more could we do?

The answer was obvious. With an audience of 30 000 listeners between the ages of 14 and 28, we knew MFM would be the perfect match. And so Bits & Bytes, the radio version was born. For the past year and a bit we had a weekly slot during the AM-PM-show at 11:45 on Tuesday mornings.

Initially Tian Petersen was the IT voice, but we decided to add some spice and Marc-Allen Johnson joined later.

Bits & Bytes on air isn’t another institutional mouthpiece to promote IT, but became a platform to discuss all kinds of technological developments, gadgets – some weird and some even handy. With each programme we try to combine news relevant to students and staff, as well as interesting developments on the technological front, in an informal style.

We do realise not everyone will be able to listen to the show due to limited access, therefore we have an alternative so you won’t miss out on anything. You can now also listen to the broadcasts online by browsing to WWW.SUN.AC.ZA/BB.

There you will find all 34 broadcasts Tian and Marc-Allen has done.  Just click on the mp3 link. These clips are hosted within the SU network and won’t rocket your internet costs – so you can listen with ease. You’ll also find all previous versions of the Bits & Bytes newsletter.

If you do want to listen to the direct broadcast, tune in every second Tuesday at 11:45 on the AM to PM Show on MFM with Eduard and our two resident IT gurus, Tian and Marc-Allen.  Click HERE to listen to MFM live.

You’re also welcome to send comments and questions during the show via Twitter and if there’s enough time Tian will address them. Tweet us at @ITStellenUni!
