Module 5

Gone are the days of going to the library to do some research and photocopying some pictures for class assignments. The fancy classroom posters with hand written text and titles made from glue and glitter seem to be becoming a thing of the past. The tools that I explored today seem to easily replace what was once done on paper. Mind maps can easily be created online using Bubbl.us and research can be prepared and presented using online posters that intergrate sound, text, video and images. Glogster is an amazing tool to say the least and gives students the opportunity to represent their learning in a multimedia capacity. When looking at some of the example glogs, it seems that learning can be made so fun with this tool. Prezi is a new tool that I have not had experience using yet but I like the way that information can be presented and it seems easy to use.

I do have some questions though. How does assessment of learning take place in a e-Learning classroom? If learning is occuring anywhere, anytime, anyplace what should assessment look like? What are the issues around the equitable access to e-Learning tools?
