From time to time it’s important to leave breadcrumbs for later reference. For example, I wish I had kept a running monthly tally of the number of Google hits on the term “podcast” as a way of describing the rapid ascent of podcasting. I offer this post in the interest of leaving some breadcrumbs about the use of technology in Higher Ed.
Taking nothing away from this formidable study by Steve Jones and Camille Johnson-Yale about the Internet’s impact on college faculty (and the “pioneering role” of college faculty in developing the Internet), it’s worth highlighting a few inventions that aren’t mentioned, together with a few that are mentioned.
Here are a few inventions today being used in learning in conjunction with the Internet but not mentioned in the study. The report mentions that some of the study participants offered additional notes; I am curious to hear from the authors whether any of these inventions were mentioned (and in what context) in the additional notes.
