This will be a co-presentation with Tim Gottleber of DCCCD at NUTN 2009. Here is the abstract:
“Edupunk” is defined as an approach to teaching that results from the do-it-yourself (DIY) attitude of some educators that are leaving behind corporate controlled technologies and pre-defined applications for the more open and less controlled arena of Web 2.0 technologies. In the rush to ride the “web 2.0” bandwagon, many educators and administrators are left in the dust when I comes to knowing what product is being delivered for the investment of time and capitol. This session will examine issues related to the identification and development of distance learning content; the use of outside tools in online courses; and the changing and evolving role of LMS services and content as online learning technologies and pedagogy continue to advance.
