Tama’s eLearning Blog

Update 2, new voting URL: Voting has commenced! (Please vote! :))

The course blog for “iGeneration: Digital Communication and Participatory Culture” which I coordinated this semester has been nominated for an Edublog Award under the category of “Best example/case study of use of weblogs within teaching and learning“; how flattering for the course, for the students and, naturally, for me! It’s very gratifying considering how much work the students and I put in over the semester. I suspect it’s “case study” value stems from being the first (as far as I’m aware) tertiary course to use podcasts as their major assessment item (and the fact that the whole course is up online for future creatively commons-facilitated reuse far and wide!).

While I’ve yet to explore all the nominees across and the categories, I recognise a few of my favourite blog/ger/s in the lists, so a few pointed shoutouts to:
[X] Edublogs (James Farmer’s wonderful service that brings you, among many other things, this blog; it’s up for “Most innovative edublogging project, service or programme“)
[X] E-learning 2.0 (Stephen Downes on E-learning 2.0 … ’nuff said; “Most influential post, resource or presentation“)
[X] Vlog 3.0 (Adrian Miles was teaching the world to v(l)og long before podcasting became the buzz of 2005! Up for “Best audio and/or visual blog“)

Go and have a look around at the rest of the nominees … there’s many a diamond in that list!
