Platform Demos and Sandboxes
by Steven R. Van Hook, PhD
srvanhook@wwmr.us
In the near future, we will be
expanding our learning
platform resources with sandbox
practice areas for instructors to
experiment on a number of different programs.
By hosting program demonstrations and sandbox
zones, we can provide
‘best-practice arenas’ for instructors and students,
beyond what their own institutions may be
offering.
This service may help enable instructors to: 1) select an appropriate platform for their own
needs, 2) prepare for an
upcoming assignment on a particular platform,
3) add a variety of platform experience to their
resume/CV
One of our board members correctly compared it to the kind of software training
a temp agency might provide workers making them more
employable.
We have already posted platform
demonstrations of a Customer Service course on different platforms, demonstrating low-, medium-, and
high-bandwidth delivery ( WordPress,
Moodle, SMF,
Google Apps, and a
virtual world learning center in
Second Life). The reasons for using the Customer
Service course for demonstrations are: 1) these are course materials I
developed under a Creative Commons license, so it’s
fair use; 2) the course demonstrates multimedia
integration of video, audio, print; 3) the materials
are suitable and perhaps even useful for a range of
students from high-school dropouts, to PhD grads
looking for a part-time job until the ‘real’ thing
comes along. Please help yourself to these
resources, and watch for developments in the weeks
ahead.
