>From today's edition of "Learning Trends"... Dentist Students Experience Extreme Learning: A TRENDS reader, Melanie Abston from Detroit, sent this note to us about the Extreme Learning underway in Dentistry School:
"It started with a simple question -- first-year dental student Jared Van Ittersum wanted to know why all the lectures he attended weren't available electronically. Now, the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and Apple Computer Inc. are collaborating on a project that uses ITunes technology for academics. U-M Dentistry offers audio of large lecture classes posted online for download by registered U-M dental students, and uses RSS, a Web syndication method, to send instructional content to students automatically. John Couch, Apple's vice president for education, visited the School of Dentistry this month for a celebration of the program. Lynn Johnson, director of dentistry informatics and information technology, said the partnership represents a major shift in how technology is used in teaching. A demonstration showed a custom ITunes site for the dental school, offering lectures in a "music store" listing. Students who log in using a U-M identity can preview audio of a lecture, download an individual lecture or subscribe to the downloads for automated delivery to their computers and MP3 players." So my question is, why not go all the way with Vblogging?? "gazza" ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).
