Produced by Lisa Thumann ©2012 Shared by Tim O'Riordan. A useful example of using Google+ Hangouts to run a video conference session. I ran a brief test with some colleagues which brought up some issues which appear to be general (i.e. not just us). I assumed that as it was 'my' hangout that I would have some control over what was seen and heard. Not the case it seems... 1. Although you can mute someone - they can unmute themselves. 2. It's impossible to block someone once the session has started. 3. You appear to have no control over what is seen by participants on the main screen. Although the audio is reasonable throughout, the video in this post loses it's main image halfway and continues in this way to the end. So - possibly a replacement for Skype, and maybe an alternative to Blackboard Collaborate, Adobe Connect etc - but some improvements needed. education, online conference, streaming, video Conceptual http://jiscdigitalmedia.mediacore.tv/media/bbt-combustion http://jiscdigitalmedia.mediacore.tv/media/bbt-combustion Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:23:56 +0000 "The difference between knowing some facts and being able to use them."

Part of the responsibility for learning belongs to students, but as faculty, we can find new ways to motivate, inspire, and maybe even cajole students to learn. This workshop demonstrates and explains how instructors can make classroom learning, perhaps one of the most artificial learning settings, a more meaningful experience for students. The presenter uses theories of learning and motivation as a basis for creating strategies to increase student engagement in course content and class sessions. Shared by Dr. Phil Langton Last year I saw Dr. Todd Zakrajsek give the plenary lecture at a Subject Centre (Biosciences) conference - it was brilliant and I've used some ideas in my own teaching and they worked better than I could have imagined. He observes well, communicates the complex in a way that makes it accessible. He has developed or borrowed some great diversions to use in large lectures and workshops that really do work. I would recommend anyone who lectures to watch these workshops. More so if we contemplate redesigning curricula - we should not without a refresher of this sort - or else we risk pruning out important elements of teaching that works. 1.

The quadrotors play this "couch guitar" by flying over guitar strings stretched across a couch frame; plucking the strings with a stiff wire attached to the base of the quadrotor. A special microphone attached to the frame records the notes made by the "couch guitar". 
These flying quadrotors are completely autonomous, meaning humans are not controlling them; rather they are controlled by a computer programed with instructions to play the instruments.

 This video premiered at the TED2012 Conference in Long Beach, California on February 29, 2012. The engineers from Penn, Daniel Mellinger and Alex Kushleyev, have formed a company called KMel Robotics that will design and market these quadrotors.
