One of the courses I’m supporting is RHS 301. The instructor is Dawn Lorenz. Dawn just sent me an email that she’s going to use PBWorks as a wiki platform for her class’s final project. To get reacquainted with the UI, I setup a workspace for testing purposes. I already began looking at how PBWorks compares to PSU’s Wikispaces solution.
I’ll have to see what I can do to help her with any questions she has about this and other aspects of her course.
- how to assist the student(s) that are uncomfortable with the technology and other aspects of the course to insure their success in the course
- her student’s blogs (how students can share permalinks from their blogs with Dawn)
- assessments and evaluations
- video’s in the classroom
- Adobe Connect Pro
- Jeopardy games
- Polycom support and use during the class
- and anything else on Dawn’s mind 🙂
Dawn’s class has been having difficulties with their blogs and wikis. Currently, folks have been having a hard time posting the URL for their blog. A few others have been having a difficult time accessing the protected wiki in PBWorks. I’m working with individuals on the blogs, but I probably need to post a screencast of what to do for the others. I’m also working with individuals on getting access to the wiki, but I’m not sure what the problems might be in this case.
• check on “low priority” designation of emails sent from the drop box email tool
• possible to change Dawn’s maiden name in ANGEL, find out the OHR rep for Dawn so that she can change her LDAP directory listing
• does peer review drop boxes reveal grades
• screencasts about protected blogs and permissions and sharing URL’s for their graded posts, embedding YouTube videos into posts
