- Intelligence is adaptation to feedback. Providing personalized feedback to students depending on their performance could make student development much more successful.
- Intelligence is expensive. How can the teacher provide personalized feedback time-efficiently? Likely by blending artificial intelligence with her own.
- Sounds like Sci-fi? A great practical example, using existing familiar IT infrastructure, you can find here: MS-Word’s (2010; 2007 works the same) mail merge feature, on the basis of a downloaded Moodle gradebook with student results, can customize semi-automatically your reusable feedback email message template to individual recipient’s performance and needs:

Animated GIFs workflow using MS-OneNote, MS-Paint, Irfanview and UnFREEZ
2012/09/25

- To keep things simple (and, at least in our work environment, free) during smaller Animated GIF projects (larger projects may warrant use of ImageMagick, scriptable image editor), you can use
- MS-OneNote screen clipping (configured right, it seems the fastest way to collect source material)
- Update: I recommend now screenshotcaptor instead, if you do screenshot projects more than occasionally. MS-Paint (or pretty much any image editor) to mark up your images
- IrfanView to batch convert to GIF:
- UnFreez to easily create animated GIFs in differing speeds:
, which can be automated.
