Moodle Kaltura teacher and student video uploads combined

- You can combine
- a Model/Question video, uploaded by the teacher as a video resource
- with an Imitation/Response video captured by the student.
- Cons:
- When viewing the teacher upload video models/questions, the student has to alternate between pause/play (which are not even on the same button).
- Student does not have to also handle pausing/restarting the video recording, but that may be another con: The student cannot pause her video, so the grader will have to skip over pauses in his recording.
- Pros: Looks like a video recording can peacefully coexist with a simultaneous video playback (XP, IE8):

- Are all things Moodle Kaltura on Windows better than on iMacs?
- I don’t think so (Windows 7, IE9): Webcamera cannot be activated, hourglass. Looks like the Flash security dialogue does not make it into the foreground.

See what I mean: 
Downloading and browsing the full content XML is of course more powerful than this.

Replace clickers with students’ phones using PollEverywhere.com

- PollEverywhere.com allows teachers to set up polls with answer options that students choose by sending a number code as text message.
- Pro’s
- Freemium.
- Low- to No- university infrastructure requirements. Best-used in a non-computerized classroom or during startup time of students’ computers.
- Content can be managed online.
- Con’s
- Freemium:
- “You get what you pay for”. “You may be the business”. What happens with your data
- Not free for students unless you consider a phone plan that comes with unlimited texts free. With increasing use of other messaging options over SMS, that may be not a given even if you deal mostly with an affluent student population.
- Low- to No- university infrastructure requirements:
- you are relying on students providing the infrastructure. Are they better keeping their phones in service (on them, charged, turned on) than we are keeping our computer labs up and running?
- you are relying on mobile network operators, including the choices of operator that your students made.
- Anonymous: Not useful for assessment purposes.
- The number codes are long (6 digits, while 1 could be sufficient).
- Freemium:
- Competitors
- The university has a clicker infrastructure which is partially outsourced to students (purchase and bring).
- The LRC has a Classroom Management system infrastructure which supports clicker-like activities.
- Sanako Study 1200 comes with Live Feedback and Voting.
- NetOp School comes with an examination/polling feature also.
