Organizing Files in the Cloud

June 17, 2011
Image of Educause Logo

It has been some time since I visited Educause and I find that they have put together a new “7 Things” guide; 7 Things You Should Know About Organizing Files in the Cloud.

“File storage and management has become a potentially limiting factor in the usefulness of new technologies, and cloud-based file services such as Dropbox, SugarSync, AeroFS, and Box.net attempt to fill that need. With these services, files are stored “in the cloud,” and each time the user accesses the service, the files are synced with whatever device is currently being used.”

This 7 Things You Should Know resource addresses the usual following questions:

  • What is it?
  • How does it work?
  • Who’s doing it?
  • Why is it significant?
  • What are the downsides?
  • Where is it going?
  • What are the implications for teaching and learning?

Visit http://www.educause.edu/Resources/7ThingsYouShouldKnowAboutOrgan/230127 to discover more.

Moodle Videos & Tutorials

March 3, 2011

A big thank you to

Image of Moodle News Logo

for bringing these resources to my attention.

The video screencasts are on Screenr.com. They have been created by Shawn Brandt (@sbrandt) and, out of the 120 videos he has posted a large number of them are all about Moodle.

The topics range from beginner to more advanced and most videos are under 5 minutes.

Note:- many appear to have reference to a Moodle training course that is not available publicly; that doesn’t detract from the great ideas and processes that are outlined in the clips. Among other topics they include...

  • adding events and using the calendar
  • using assignments
  • creating pages and resources
  • displaying directories
  • using .zip files to upload multiple files
  • improving your course aesthetics
  • and so much more.

Visit http://screenr.com/user/sbrandt to access and evaluate the video clips.

eCPD Vidcasts

February 27, 2011

An increasing number of practitioners have been sharing their ideas and expertise through vidcasts which are both easy to follow and helpful.

The big plus about vidcasts are that they are "Just in time" resources available 24/7.

Below are some resources that are worth taking a closer look at...

  • Image of Youtube Logo Bev Evans' video tutorials are available on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/TechnoStories#p/u;
  • Image of Under Ten Minutes logoIan Addison has recently set up a new site called Under Ten Minutes where he (and other practitioners) are sharing vidcasts lasting no longer than ten minutes http://www.undertenminutes.com/;
  • Image of Teaching Videos LogoKevin McLaughlin posts his 30 second video tips for practitioners daily http://in30seconds.posterous.com/.
  • Image of Teaching Videos Logohosts a number of vidcasts in...
    • the ICT section http://www.teachingvideos.co.uk/index.php/find-videos-by-subject-topic/ict/viewcategory/15/ict; and
    • the Teaching Videos section http://www.teachingvideos.co.uk/...
  • John Dalziel (me) hosts a number of uNET (using New & Emerging Technologies) Vidcasts at http://www.youtube.com/user/acljohn#g/c/D89C8EE0545FCF77.

These and other similar resources may be "just the ticket" for your own professional development or for sharing with colleagues.
