Instructional Technology Web 2.0

UAB Web 2.0 Information

Darcy DiNucci first coined the term Web 2.0 in the article "Fragmented Future" in a 1999 edition of Print magazine, in which she predicted that collaboration and interactivity would be the key to the web of the future. Websites at the end of the 20th century were still largely non-interactive and contained static web content, which DiNucci refered to as the "embryonic web". The term really took wing at the 2004 O'Reilly Media Conference, in which open-source advocate Tim O'Reilly promoted the idea. Web 2.0 refers to a broad range of web-based applications that emphasize collaboration and information-sharing. Many online communities, hosted web sites, social networking platforms, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, mashups (web pages that dynamically draw data from a variety of different sources, such as databases) and folksonomies (knowledge bases generated from collaborative tagging or indexing) make up the current world of Web 2.0.

Though it is debatable whether Web 2.0 is the starting point of a truly different Internet, applications developed for social interaction clearly marks a strong move from non-interactive, static web sites, and from websites from which a single entity broadcasts static information, to websites for which information is dynamically, socially constructed and streamed.

For educators, Web 2.0 may provide a different, and in many ways improved, means of teaching and learning. Strongly held principles of student-centered, collaborative learning are part and parcel of Web 2.0's intent to create a democratic web, in which all have a voice and a part in knowlege building. This page contains information about and some examples of Web 2.0 technologies, as well as contact information for experienced users of these technologies.

NOTE: The topics and list of experienced users are growing.

Emergency Technology Toolkit for Faculty

Emergency Support for Teaching and Learning with Blackboard: 
Quick Start Technology Toolkit - For Faculty

This "Technology Toolkit" has been created to help faculty to communicate with and provide learning experiences for students during situations that limit on-campus access. It is designed as a quick start guide for faculty who do not have experience using the online course management system - Blackboard.

All UAB academic courses (except labs/seminars/independent studies )  have a course site automatically created in a system called Blackboard.

  • The course site is made available to students the first day of class to the last day of class.  
  • Faculty have access to the course  from 16 weeks prior to 10 days after the official term start and end dates

If your course is a lab/seminar/independent study and you would like to make a course site available for you and your students,   please complete the Course Request form. 

  • Please note that this form is also used to make any request related to the course section you are teaching (e.g. adding a teaching assistant, copying content from a previous course, cross listing your course with another course you are teaching).

Your online course site can be used as much or as little as necessary to fit your teaching needs.  Here are some options and things to consider for this online course site:

  • Save the basic course information that is ordinarily handed out in class - syllabus or course schedule.
  • Create sessions/folders with course material - PDF versions of PowerPoint slides, vocabulary lists, instructor-produced written materials, photographs, illustrations, recorded lectures, etc.
  • Post student grades so they can be privately accessed by the student as desired.
  • Link to other websites (internal and external) for additional materials or content.
  • Use discussion forums, blogs and chat to generate participation and collaboration.
  • Create live audio and video sessions.
  • Create assignments for students to submit online.

Login to Blackboard
(*Note: To login, enter your BlazerID and password)

To quickly get started in using the Blackboard and other teaching tools, seven steps have been created below:

Step 1 
provides basic information for faculty and students to get setup and on Blackboard.

Step 2
includes some quick start guides/steps on understanding the Blackboard course interface and posting content into your course.

3 and 4
describes options to communicating with your students when away from a physical class environment  

Step 4 
goes into more detail about additional tools that are available for faculty when teaching  in the virtual environment

Step 5
describes the resources available to assist students in using the features of the Blackboard course.

Steps 6 and 7 
lists training, tutorials and guides, tips and individual resources available for faculty.

Step 3: How do I communicate with my students?

You can communicate with students in several ways, either within your Blackboard Vista course or externally using the Classroom Email Distribution System (CEDS) or through normal UAB email. Within Blackboard a coursemail feature lets you send and receive mail for each individual course. You can also communicate through the chat feature and draw on a white board that is visible to all students logged into the course. For more information on each option,  click on one of the links below.

ePortfolios

UAB ePortfolio by eInstruction Logo

At UAB, "We envision students using an electronic portfolio as an integral part of their education to reflect on learning, to integrate their knowledge, to learn more deeply, to shape curricular choices and goals, and to showcase skills and accomplishments." (University of Alabama at Birmingham, Workshop, February, 2008).

An ePortfolio (electronic portfolio) is a purposeful and meaningful collection of work which can include text and media files. Several portfolios can be created to serve different purposes. Each ePortfolio has a purpose and is formatted by its owner to match designated requirements.

Students can showcase skills and accomplishments for prospective employers or entrance to graduate/professional programs. The ePortfolio can also serve as a personal archive of documents.

Used in a course or program curriculum, ePortfolios can demonstrate student's achievement of required course or program competencies/outcomes as well as the process of getting there.

UAB has selected TaskStream as the campus supported ePortfolio solution. For more information about TaskStream and to setup an account contact Terry Harrington in UAB Instructional Technology ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it 205-934-0417).

To participate in the "ePortfolios: A Hands-On Introduction" event, please visit the Training and Educational Offerings page for a listing of session dates and times.

    What is Streaming Media for Academic Courses?

    Streaming media and blended learning is a mixture or combination of instructional technology with actual job tasks in order to create a harmonious effect of learning and working via the internet.
     
    Streaming media technology enables the real time or on demand distribution of audio, video and multimedia on the Internet. Streaming media is the simultaneous transfer of digital media (video, voice and data/slides) so that it is received as a continuous real-time stream. Streamed data is transmitted by a server application and received and displayed in real-time by client applications. These applications can start displaying video or playing back audio as soon as enough data has been received and stored in the receiving station's buffer. A streamed file is simultaneously downloaded and viewed, but leaves behind no physical file on the viewer's machine.
     
    The point is that blended learning and streaming media means different things to different people, which illustrates its widely untapped potential; so therefore, blended learning is a great way to initiate an organization into learning because it benefits learners, the training staff, and the organization's bottom line. It allows organizations to gradually move learners from traditional classrooms in small steps, making change easier to accept with streaming media. Working in a blended environment enables instructors to help their students to develop the skills needed for blended learning in small increments. Training professionals can move small sections online as the needed learning skills are developed.
    Blended learning and streaming media allows organizations to supplement or compliment existing courseware rather than replace it.
     

    Streaming Media Products

    Streaming Media products can be grouped into one of four types.

     
    Audio Presentation - An audio presentation has only an audio component. (EX: Streaming web radio station) 
     
    Video Presentation - A video presentation has only a video component. (EX: Streaming a video of an activity or process to present an example in support of a lecture or online training situation.) 
     
    Unsynchronized Presentation - An unsynchronized presentation has two or more media components (ie: Audio, Video) that have been captured and transmitted as a single stream. Since all elements are in a single file there is little or no control over the individual components. The resulting file is usually quite large resulting in transmission problems. 
     
    Synchronized Presentation - A synchronized presentation has two or more media components (ie: Audio, Video, Data/Slides) that are transmitted simultaneously. These components are linked/synchronized by adding synchronization points or timing points. If for some reason the media components are received out of sequence, the streaming software maintains or restores the presentation synchronization by simply matching the timing points. Since all elements are in separate files they can be transmitted as individual streams there is much more control over the individual components. The resulting file is usually much smaller thereby reducing transmission bandwidth requirements.
