W11: 3D Printing Launchpad

3d-print-expo

Welcome to Week 11: 3D Printing. The primary goal of our OER is to introduce you to the topic of 3D printing and how it is has the potential to shape K-12 education. However, we also felt it pertinent to address the issues and challenges surrounding 3D printing in higher education, as well as how it is impacting industries, so this will be the secondary focus of our OER.

Through the course of this week we will be asking you to participate in 2 activities and one short survey.  These activities are designed to have you interact with the creation of 3D objects and also to discuss the impacts of 3D printing as prompted by the case studies we will provide.

We look forward to embarking on this week-long journey with you all!

The 3Ders,

Shane T., Kirsten N., Tiffany T., Danielle V. and Yik Wah P.

W10 Review

Excellent job W10 OER! The website contains an ideal amount of background information that creates a strong impetus for critical thought. Not only was the organization and layout of content simple and inviting to explore, well-devised questions also encouraged in-depth analysis. It was easy to orientate myself throughout most sections because instructions for interacting with specific content were clear. In particular, I appreciate the Product Archive for its annotations and video clips, which helped me quickly select an analytic tool of interest for Activity #2. A minor suggestion would be to embed Activity #3 in its own section. It was easy to overlook it and unclear how it differs from Activity #2. Thank you for enabling easy navigation and encouraging focused analysis!

W09 Review

I personally like Edomdo. I found the activities very useful and informative. I would suggest using more tools available on Edmodo some of which are free and available on Edmodo store. Using Socrative was a great idea. Maybe it would be a good idea to divide students into smaller groups with different tasks and asking students to evaluate different groups activities (peer-to-peer evaluation) exactly how our course is being design.

W08: Cloud Learning Launchpad

Welcome to Week 8, where we will be delving into the world of cloud learning as it specifically relates to education in the medical field. Our OER will look at:

  • A brief overview of the cloud
  • How the cloud is currently used in the medical field
  • How the cloud can support current goals in medical education
