Transform Your Learning Environment through BYOD, mobile and cloud-based Video Applications
According to Gartner, mobile video software client users grew 340% between 2010 and 2012. It is expected that mobile video users will grow from 429 million to 2.4 billion in 2016. How are we as educators leveraging this phenomenon?
As the use of live interactive video increases in education—with students, teachers and administrators all connecting—we are increasingly seeing students and teachers issuing devices or promoting use of student own technology devices. In fact, some say that the bring your own device (BYOD) movement is revolutionising how educators teach and students learn. How are we, as educators, capitalising on student or faculty owned mobile devices to radically change the learning environment? How do cloud solutions fit into the picture? And what does mobility and the cloud enable us to do?
In this interactive session, the presenter will provide an overview of desktop, mobile and cloud?based video applications and how they are being used in the collaborative classroom:
• Students become engaged in a ‘hate to miss’ learning environment where they use various devices and software to collaborate, work on projects, participate in problem?based learning whether physically on campus, at a remote site or while travelling.
• Faculty meet face to face remotely with one or many pulling in subject matter experts from content providers or businesses. Learn how we can leverage desktop or mobile devices while incorporating other tools in their arsenals such as interactive whiteboards.
• Learn from different education institutions as they share best practices in flexible distance learning and collaboration.
