E-Learning Tools for Stem (JING etc,,)

http://elearnmag.org/subpage.cfm?section=articles&article=97-1

3. Jing
Jing, a free program built by TechSmith, has made more of a difference in my online courses than any other. It allows the user to capture screenshots or record short videos, and then share these quickly and painlessly with other people via the Internet.

In the technical fields, teaching tends to center around solving problems (chemistry, physics, math), and it can be difficult to mimic online the student experience of going to a professor's office and getting help solving a specific problem. With Jing, my students can send me a link to an annotated screenshot of a problem they are struggling with--and the work they've tried so far. Then I can respond by recording a 1- to 2-minute video with some hints, and send them a link to the video.

Once my students got the hang of using Jing, they started using it to help each other, posting questions about specific problems, and posting hints toward solutions to each other in both screen capture and video form. Here's an example of how collaboration happens using Jing (a second example is shown further down the page):

E-Learning Guild's DevLearn 2009 Enterprise2.0

http://www.elearningguild.com/content.cfm?selection=doc.1267

Keynote is MIT Sloan's McAfee. His latest book is out in Nov.

Enterprise 2.0: New Collaborative Tools for Your Organization's Toughest Challenges (Hardcover)


http://www.amazon.com/Enterprise-2-0-Collaborative-Organizations-Challenges/dp/1422125874/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254879279&sr=8-2


Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"Web 2.0" is the portion of the Internet that's interactively produced by many people; it includes Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, and prediction markets. In just a few years, Web 2.0 communities have demonstrated astonishing levels of innovation, knowledge accumulation, collaboration, and collective intelligence.

Now, leading organizations are bringing the Web's novel tools and philosophies inside, creating Enterprise 2.0. In this book, Andrew McAfee shows how they're doing this, and why it's benefiting them. Enterprise 2.0 makes clear that the new technologies are good for much more than just socializing-when properly applied, they help businesses solve pressing problems, capture dispersed and fast-changing knowledge, highlight and leverage expertise, generate and refine ideas, and harness the wisdom of crowds.

Most organizations, however, don't find it easy or natural to use these new tools initially. And executives see many possible pitfalls associated with them. Enterprise 2.0 explores these concerns, and shows how business leaders can overcome them.

McAfee brings together case studies and examples with key concepts from economics, sociology, computer science, consumer psychology, and management studies and presents them all in a clear, accessible, and entertaining style. Enterprise 2.0 is a must-have resource for all C-suite executives seeking to make technology decisions that are simultaneously powerful, popular, and pragmatic.

About the Author
Andrew McAfee coined the phrase "Enterprise 2.0" in a 2006 Sloan Management Review article. He is on the faculty of Harvard Business School's Technology and Operations Management department. His research investigates IT's impact on organizations' performance and competitive position. He has authored more than fifty case studies as well as articles in Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, and other journals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book about how to measure results of your network building work, April 1, 2009
By C. Gallagher - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

If you have ever been tasked to build a network as part of your work responsibility -- and I have -- this book will be very instructive as to how you can begin to go about doing this and importantly, how you measure and document, and visualize the network.

For people in law enforcement, the type of network analysis described in the book can also help you to understand and make sense of the gazillion gang member cards and e-documentation you may be gathering, put that informatin together in an easy-to-understand visual framework, and identify critical nodes in the criminal network that you wouldn't otherwise know were people critical to maintaining the criminal network. Arrest / remove those nodes and you'll be on your way to measurably deconstructing criminal networks - and being able to succinctly report the MEASURABLE results of your work to your Police Chief.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book - about organizational networks, not social networks, July 19, 2009
By Dorian Gray (VA USA) - See all my reviews

First, this book is *not* to be confused with social networking as used typically in the context of linkedin or facebook etc. I think a better title would have been 'Organizational Networks'

This is about the combination of explicit and implicit organizational networks and how organizations should consider evaluating, re-defining these organizational networks to maximize organizational performance.

It will help you understand how *your* organization is actually functioning, the drawbacks that hinder your personal performance because of organizational network bottlenecks, and suggests models for improved organizational performance.

Organizational performance is related to getting the level of collaboration just right. You may be surprised to learn that the problem might not be too little collaboration but too much of inefficient collaboration.

The book is very good. The only reason I am not giving it a 5-star is because I think the book takes considerable effort to read. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? Yes No (Report this)




4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to applying social network analysis in organizations, June 27, 2009
By Robert Boutilier - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Cross and Thomas have given us a good introduction to the appplication of social network analysis inside organizations. It focuses on how this technique can discover and solve problems. Rather than explain 'how to' analyze networks, it concentrates on the 'why'.

JavaScript
A popular scripting language that is widely supported in Web browsers and other Web tools. It adds interactive functions to HTML pages, which are otherwise static, since HTML is a display language, not a programming language. JavaScript is easier to use than Java, but not as powerful and deals mainly with the elements on the Web page. On the client, JavaScript is maintained as source code embedded into an HTML page. On the server, it is compiled into bytecode (intermediate language), similar to Java programs.

JavaScript evolved from Netscape's LiveScript language. First released with Navigator 2.0, it was made more compatible with Java. JavaScript does not have the programming overhead of Java, but can be used in conjunction with it. For example, a JavaScript script could be used to display a data entry form and validate the input, while a Java applet or Java servlet more thoroughly processes the information. JavaScript is also used to tie Java applets together. See JScript, Dojo, Java, Java applet, servlet and VBScript.
