[edit] 1:30 - 2:45 pm: Social and Mobile: Thinking Outside the LMS – Web Conference Presentation
Nearly all students use social networking tools and mobile devices as a way to engage and communicate with their friends. To further facilitate student collaboration, Purdue has several new initiatives, including Mixable, an application that builds connections by blending a student's course enrollment information with his or her network of friends that already exists within Facebook. Mixable enables students to collaboratively build and share their personal learning environments by using open tools (Facebook, Twitter, and Dropbox) and the most common mobile devices, while ultimately maintaining privacy. Another new Purdue application is Hotseat, a student polling system that is accessed by phones or other mobile devices. Based on his first hand experience in deploying new models for students engagement, Kyle will provide insights into the changing priorities and emerging opportunities for technology-enabled collaboration, beyond the LMS.
