It
was my first time at COLTT and I came back with many ideas but also questions
about how to use these various learning technologies. One of the issues in the
back of my mind is how to make asynchronous classes more interactive so in some
ways I was "shopping" for ideas. Some of the technologies presented
provided some hints although I found some presentations very technical.
Two
sessions stood out. One was a plenary presentation that questioned the use of
technology in teaching. More precisely the presenter pointed out that sometime
we quickly jump to the acquisition to a new technology but we don't know
exactly the nature of the problem we are trying to address in the classroom.
The second session I very much enjoyed concerned the challenges of cyborg
learning (how devices become integrated in our learning experience and its
challenges, especially in the clinical context (the two presenters were from CU).
All
in all it was a good experience.
