Education

The 3 Projects of Nate Angell

After a very long week full of Webvisions goodness we settled into our cozy little studio with an old friend of the show, Nate Angell. As always he was bursting with excitement for the projects he’s working on. We managed to tackle three of them in the Tech Edition: hideNtweet, a reevaluation of the standardized testing system in our schools and DayOn.

Opening Education with Nate Angell & Randy Thornton

Friday night we welcomed, for a third time, Nate Angell, and for the first time Randy Thornton of rSmart to talk about the Open Education movement and Open Source. Join us for an entertaining hour of open ranting, martinis and even a little movie talk.

And no. They didn’t convince me to see Avatar.

Build a Sakai/OSP Implementation Plan that Fits your Campus

A day-long, interactive session to craft a Sakai/OSP implementation plan tailored to your institution's characteristics, resources and needs. Each university considering Sakai and/or OSP is distinctive, but to ensure implementation success, each should prepare for issues common to any technology change, and a few issues unique to open/community source applications. Session leaders will help participants begin to develop a detailed implementation plan for their campus.

With co-presenter, Wende Morgaine.
