Sylvia Currie and some fabulous co-op students from Bccampus will be facilitating web streaming participants via a Twitter Stream which you can follow by using #ocshowcase2011. Bccampus will also have an Etherpad ( check here for more info about what Etherpad ishttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etherpad) setup for collaborative notetaking which will be accessible to the virtual participants.  The link for the BCcampus set up is:  http://abbott.bccampus.ca:9001/p/ocshowcase2011

The theatre has one screen and projector, a PC podium with the basics (Firefox and Explorer). Presenters will have a lapel mic and there will be a roaming mic for the f2f audience questions.  We also have an Apple TV setup for presenters who want to use their iPad 2 for their presentation instead.  There will be wireless access for all theatre guests.

We will have some student volunteers who will be monitoring the #ocshowcase2011 twitter activity. Sylvia Currie from BCcampus will be facilitating the webcast participants in Twitter as well.  BCcampus is helping to make an etherpad setup for those want to help/try out live collaborative notetaking.

And lastly, we are so grateful that Leva Lee from ETUG/Bccampus will be our MC for the event, to free up Karen and I do the other running around.

Of course will ask for your forgiveness at the outset for the inevitable tech glitches that may occur. Hopefully the fabulous lunch will  make up for it.

Chad Leaman has responded to the challenge, and you can get a peek here.

Category Accessibility

Accessibility in Online Learning, Chad Leaman, Neil Squire Society

There is no perfect “accessible” website – even Google, who’s mission is to make the world’s information universally accessible, continues to struggle in making user environments that are accessible to all users.

Moodle for the Visually Impaired, VCC

One never know what someone else sees, or hears, until they put themselves into the other person’s shoes. We had heard in a couple of occasions that the Visually impaired (VI) program was having some challenges with Moodle, but didn’t really understand what that could be all about.  The project was assigned to the new DLSupport person. She took this task very seriously, with a pair of earphones, and working through the material like a Visually Impaired person, she worked on the course for 1 month. She consulted with the department every step of the way.  Some of the most important changes were:

*       Removed blocks that were unnecessary or inaccessible

*       Consolidated information (week 0 and week 1)

*       Changed links and labels so everything starts with a number to correspond to the week

*       Removed formatting in the content to read more smoothly in a screen reader

*       Organized content to view in pop-up windows so it is easier for visual impaired navigation.

We also considered some best practices in this process:

*       Simplicity is best

*       Taking into account screen reading capability when designing text and content

Currently the course is a good model and template for other accessible courses and future development. We know that if we develop Moodle courses with these guidelines in mind, they will be accessible and wont need a complete overhaul of the existing courses.

Tablets in the Fire Service, Jerome Rodriguez, JIBC

Tablets have been historically viewed as toys or fancy cell phones by first response agencies. This presentation will showcase how tablets and applications are being used in the fire service not only to teach and train, but also to save lives, enhance fire ground and inspection capabilities, track equipment and monitor supply levels, training records, incident reports, and team member availability.

In a recent course development project, JIBC course designers took key features out of the course, made them freely available /publicly downloadable outside of the LMS as standalone tools via a digital object repository.  A year later, we will explore how the portal has assisted learners, practitioners and organizations and how the use and development of mobile tools can sustain learning, enhance professional development and support public service through operational usage.

Anytime, Anywhere: Mobile Companion for Face-to-Face Course, Paul Hibbitts, SFU

What would be the challenges in creating a mobile-friendly course companion website using an “off the shelf” Content Management System? For the Fall term of CMPT-363 User Interface Design, user experience consultant and instructor Paul Hibbitts wanted to explore how to best provide his students mobile access to an extensive collection of learning resources that were tightly coupled with his face-to-face classes.

Paul pursued a “Mobile First” strategy, creating initial designs for viewing the website on mobile devices but with the same content base and tools that would be available when viewed on a desktop browser. He also evaluated a variety of Content Management Systems (CMS), choosing WordPress along with the Headway Framework to help streamline the design and development of the desktop presentation of the website. The WordPress Plugin WPtouch Pro, along with various customizations, were an essential component to enhance mobile viewing of the course website content. For further details, explore the Mobile Companion case study at http://www.paulhibbitts.com/mobile-learning-sfu-course-website-case-study.html

In this presentation, Paul will share some of the key lessons he learned along the way, ranging from his viewpoint on numerous user experience design challenges to specific feedback he received from his students.

Mobile Moodle, Jason  Shaw, VCH

System: Moodle New Physician Orientation.

The course was developed from day 1 to be accessible via a mobile device. This includes  tabs that open up side blocks, online quizzes, and all of the Moodle activities/resources. The aspects of this can be easily implemented on other Moodle sites. None of the customizations will make the instance of Moodle upgradeable.
