Platform Demos and Sandboxes

by Steven R. Van Hook, PhD
srvanhook@wwmr.us

TabletIn 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.
