What to consider when selecting a Photo-sharing service for your class?

An instructor recently contacted me about the option of using a photo-sharing service for her photography class with CE@UP. I don’t have a lot of details about the course and her expectations, but there are a few things to think about that would apply to a number of different situations (roughly in order of importance):

  • uploading options
  • organization of the content
  • storage limits
  • bandwidth limits
  • view options: full-screen slideshows
  • sharing options
  • log-in requirements
  • visitor requirements
  • privacy and permissions
  • metadata options
  • service reliability
  • read the fine-print
  • Web 2.0 framework
  • service popularity
  • licensing options
  • statistics
  • printing options

It’s been a long time coming. I’ve finally finished porting and updating the Connect Pro Lesson in the Outreach faculty development OL 3000: Just2It course. And the work comes just in time since we have our kick off session tomorrow. This will be the second running of OL 3000. This time around, I am not only teaching the section on Connect Pro, but also the lesson on iGoogle. I still have to review that content before the participants reach that lesson.

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 🙂
