#edcmooc Week 4 Final Assignment

Here is my final assignment for the E-learning and Digital Culture MOOC. It is my digital artefact - a creation that combines visual images, sound and text to convey a message. The message represents my reflections on the course readings and material over the past 4 weeks.
Update: Sadly, Slideshare removed the free access service for education as of 2014. Happily, they allowed the possibility to download work and I am now searching for a new platform.

  1. The choice of original images makes your artefact so captivating. I like the way it starts of from the pre digital era to the digital era of the natives. It reveals a digital immigrant's acceptance of and integration into the digital culture.
    What tool was used to make the slideshow?

  2. Thank you for your feedback! I used SlideRocket - it is a free application that is online and very intuitive. The nice thing is that you can get a link to mail out to your presentation or get the html code to embed in a webpage or blog (as I did here)and the basic free licence has an indefinite access. I really liked working with it.

  3. Hi, Lorianne! I like the perspective in your presentation: it made me think of how profoundly the classroom has changed in the last decades. Actually, my ideas for the final project were very close to yours. The teacher's perspective :-)

    The music is brilliant - not only does it illustrate the content, but also gives the rythm and dynamizm to the slide show. I will also agree with Nausheen's idea about the images you use - black-and-white for the past and colourful for the present... Very nice!

    And you discovered SlideRocket for me - I'll try to find a minute to experiment with it. Thank you for this :-)
    And good luck with the final assessment!

  4. Thank you, Tatiana! I think in each case, our messages reflect our perspective: yours as a teacher facing the challenge of keeping your teaching dynamic in a digital age and me as a learner (and future creator of courses, I hope) facing the challenge of technology changes and keeping up with the ever-increasing sources of information and trying to keep a perspective. In the end, I think both of us also think that the individual is the core of the process, no matter how much digital technology is part of the process.
