XR Storytellers: Learners Making Immersive Stories

LIVE NOW

Thursday, May 7, 2020 from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM (CDT)

PRESENTATION
Our team will share lessons learned in collaborating to create immersive experiences that accelerate STEM education. Find out how students achieve classroom learning objectives by designing AR experiences. Watch a demonstration of how an immersive scientific story is co-created by students and teachers in a virtual learning environment. Explore novel techniques for supporting learners to demonstrate understanding and share knowledge using spatial technologies and storytelling principles. We invite guests to share their questions and perspectives on the possibilities and limitations of XR storytelling to facilitate relational connections to curriculum and instruction.

PRESENTERS:
Sarah Cassidy | Janelle LaVoie | Quincy Wang | Poh Tan
We are a team of VR learners from the University of Saskatchewan and Simon Fraser University in Canada. Our research explores innovative uses of immersive technology for STEM education and pro-social change.

fake history

categories: academic library, Digital literacy, information technology

#twitterstorians, in the fall, I’m teaching a course called “Fake History,” which will explore commonly held myths and lies about the past. What myth/lie/misconception about the past troubles, irks, annoys, or bothers you the most? (I’m trying to figuring out what I’m missing)

Whether we use synchronous or asynchronous online sessions, whether we call it distance or virtual learning, we’re all challenged to provide meaningful education experiences at a distance as the education world grapples with the impact of Covid-19.

Know your purpose

Collect data over time

Focus on feedback

Check for understanding in synchronous sessions

Leverage personal conversations

Check in on SEL

Make it useful

your teaching online we can help

categories: Digital literacy, distance learning, distributive learning, e-learning, instructional technology

both these tweets very valid about the past:

10 years ago, we should have taught faculty how to be better at the internet: to design for privacy, security, accessibility. Even how to use keyboard shortcuts. Anything else but lecture capture, online quizzes, and boilerplate feedback. 1/2

library during pandemic

Was asked to share this:

“Why are nonessential @dallaslibrary staff working during a shelter in place order? Respect the health and safety of @CityOfDallas employees and their families.”

(I heartily and angrily endorse this message!)

Dear governors everywhere (except New Jersey 💜),

Please fully close all types of libraries, to patrons AND staff specifically, in your orders to stay at home & shelter in place. If you don’t, our colleagues will continue to be endangered for no reason.

remote class

categories: distance learning, distributive learning, e-learning, instructional technology, video editing

Remote teaching literature:

breaking up synchronous sessions with hands-on. This requires strong skills for virtual presenting. A nice little simple book on this: https://www.amazon.com/Exceptional-Presenter-Goes-Virtual-Person/dp/1608320464:
Koegel, T. (2010). The exceptional presenter goes virtual (1st ed.). Austin, Tex: Greenleaf Book Group Press.
The book, unfortunately, is available through ILL and ILL is suspended.

about analytics and the length of attention is evidence-based findings from a paper by Guo on giant Moocs. https://cft.vanderbilt.edu/guides-sub-pages/effective-educational-videos/

This Black Swan event means we are doing something in a few weeks it should take five months to complete. Call it “Remote Teaching” Nice resources: https://umaine.edu/citl/emergency-remote-teaching/
