virtual tools to remain

categories: Digital literacy, e-learning, educational technology, information literacy, information technology, instructional technology, technology literacy

Will this semester forever alter college? No, but some virtual tools will stick around

Conceiving, planning, designing and developing a genuine online course or program can consume as much as a year of faculty training and collaboration with instructional designers, and often requires student orientation and support and a complex technological infrastructure.

If anything, what people are mistaking now for online education — long class meetings in videoconference rooms, professors in their bathrobes, do-it-yourself tools made of rubber bands and cardboard — appears to be making them less, not more, open to it.

Increased productivity without email

categories: announcement

My note:

In 2006, the same year when SCSU finally announced email as the formal form of communication (replacing paper), the Chronicle posted a seminal article:

E-Mail is for Old People

https://www.chronicle.com/article/e-mail-is-for-old-people/

[Microsoft] ‘Slack built the right tool for the wrong way to work.’

The company found that switching all of its client information and tasks to the list-making platform Trello helped workers stay on the same page without feeling overwhelmed by perpetual email chains, he says.
