1. CNN Video for Learning Lesson for 2,000! We are so honored that CNN will be teaching 2,000 people, at one time, how to use their mobile phones to shoot and edit short and functional learning videos. Imagine 2,000 colleagues, each with a mobile device, experimenting with how to frame, sequence and even edit a video - all on a mobile device. Lisa Pedrego, Ben Coyte and their team of CNN colleagues will be leading this mass teaching experiment at Learning 2011 - and it all starts with a short video on how to make videos using your phone. Check out the 2 minute 12 second example and first step in this learning process at: http://www.learning2011.com/cnnvideo
Once again, we are deeply grateful to CNN for bringing their skills and perspectives about the changing role of mobile created video as a component in learning!
2. Google and Pearson Release Free LMS for Higher Ed: Quite a bit of buzz has been generated by the announcement of a deal between Pearson Publishing and Google, rolling out a free LMS for higher education institutions that are using Google Apps. This is targeted at both face-to-face as well as online learning and it will be interesting to track how it impacts the marketplace. OpenClass, which is being tested at nine institutions currently, offers a spate of features targeted at social media and integration. Obviously, Pearson’s hope is that the platform will be a marketplace advantage for their other content and educational resources.
