Week 8 – Class In Review (30/04)
Jess & Eddy’s Presentation on Synchronous Learning – Webinars
This is by far the best presentation I’ve come across. This is the first time I’ve come across using web conferencing software with such user friendliness and ease of use, especially since I don’t expect it from a Mac! The group did well to provide both discussion and lecture whilst presenting through the webinar in a series of presentation slides. The best thing is being able to allow everyone to physically input something real to the white board, I can imagine this to be a very effective communication and learning tool for any sort of meetings in general where discussion and ideas need to be formed. However, the downsides associated with using this technology is the costs to purchase the software and hardware required. The software can be an expensive ongoing cost if used regularly.
Otherwise the technology has a very big wow factor for first time users such as myself. I can imagine small classrooms being managed and taught effectively through this type of learning using webinar technology.
My Group’s Presentation on Social Sharing & Social Networking
Have to say I was very nervous, but am glad I was able to create more discussion between DoCS and the group because the relevance of our classes and studies wouldn’t be very relevant or beneficial to DoCS if it wasn’t for feedback to truly determine what DoCS wants out of this experience working with students in UTS.
