Jean-Claude Bradley presents on "Technology and Students - Mix, Match or Miss?" at the Villanova Teaching and Learning Strategies Symposium on May 13, 2010. Topics covered include screencasting, wikis, games and Second Life, with a particular focus on student response to these technologies.

1. Technology and Students: Mix, Match or Miss? Jean-Claude Bradley E-Learning Coordinator College of Arts and Sciences Associate Professor of Chemistry Drexel University May 13, 2010 Teaching and Learning Strategies at Villanova 2010

2. So many tools … so little time blogs free online textbooks recorded lectures (e.g. podcasts, screencasts, videos) wikis CMS (e.g. Blackboard) free course content (e.g. OpenCourseWare) clickers games virtual worlds (e.g. Second Life)

4. Screencasting: easy solution for recording lectures

5. CHEM 241 89 students CHEM 243 64 students Student Response to Screencasting: Attendance

7. Best use of Class Time Mainly repeating lectures Mainly workshops One-on-one mentoring Doing problems Games

8. Wikis A wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor.

10. Example: Chemical Information Retrieval FA09 (CHEM367/767)

11. Use of Web2.0 Tools for Sharing Recorded Lectures

12. Students participate to collect resources

13. Assignments

14. Article summaries on Web2.0 site

15. Student Research Logs: DMT

16. Green Tea Project

17. Chemistry of Chocolate

18. Students generate course content

19. Students curate data on ChemSpider

20. Five Sources for the solubility of EGCG

21. =2.3 g/L Students expose unreliability of “trusted sources”

22. Multimedia student project: the Beer Game

24. Open Wikis in Laboratory Research

25. Motivation: Faster Science, Better Science

26. There are NO FACTS, only measurements embedded within assumptions Open Notebook Science maintains the integrity of data provenance by making assumptions explicit

27. TRUST PROOF

28. Crowdsourcing Solubility Data

29. ONS Submeta Award Winners

30. Teaching Lab: Brent Friesen (Dominican University)

31. The Log makes Assumptions Explicit

32. The Rationale of Findings Explicit

45. Lulu.com Data Disks

48. Wheel of Orgo

49. (Andy Lang, Tony Williams) Open Data spectra from ChemSpider for education (Jean-Claude Bradley, Andy Lang, Tony Williams, Robert Lancashire)

50. The game starts easy

51. Later in the game: time limit and more molecules

52. Database Curation via Game Playing

53. Over 100,000 spectrum views so far - worldwide
