Letting the lunatics run the asylum - students developing code for the prod...Malcolm Murray
This presentation (delivered in Las Vegas in July 2011 at the Blackboard Developers Conference) reflects on the work of 3 students who spent a summer learning and developing building blocks. Their project topics were provided by faculty. The experience highlights problems faced by novice building block developers and how to overcome these. It also provides suggestions for suitable and unsuitable test environments and ends with pointers for what constitutes a realistic (deliverable and maintainable) project, some of which come directly from the mouths of the students.
A seminar on the principles of Integrating Technology in education. This covers the SAMR and TPACK models of integration as well as practical examples.
