How is the Internet of Things impacting your institution and your classrooms? Looking at both facility redesign examples and instructional changes? For a background article, see http://www.ccdaily.com/2017/09/understanding-internet-things/.
I'm fleshing out the information from the article into a book on the impact of IoT on Higher Ed and am looking for examples of changes that I can use. In particular, I'm looking to flesh out a chapter on the impact on facilities and the campus environment.
Yes! Dramatically! It has enhanced and heightened the involvement of my students in the teaching and learning processes resulting in richer and more pronounced academic discussions with students.
Dear Dr. Mickey Slimp,
According to Warschauer (1996) the benefits of adding the internet component to instruction are many, and include: multimodal practice with feedback, pair and small group work on projects, either collaboratively or competitively, the fun factor, variety in the resources available and learning styles used, exploratory learning with large amounts of data, and real-life skill-building in computer use.
Hello,
Notably, the internet plays a pivotal role in modern instruction both for the teachers and learners. To teachers, the internet is essential because they can use it to find free supplementary materials, to improve their time management , to communicate and share experiences and ideas with other teachers, to evaluate the quality of their teaching, and to stay up-to-date about their profession. To students, on the other hand, the internet is a vital source of motivation allowing them to connect with the larger world, to provide them with valuable opportunities for learning through doing, and to take advantage of opportunities offered by telemonitoring.Overall, access to the internet has become the most fundamental requirement for education in today's world.
Best regards,
R. Biria
Reza - as you're in language studies, I'm looking for a bit more detail. In my text, I detail the growth of online intercultural language tutoring with sites like Tandem, Bilingua, FluentU, and HiNative. It also touches on the use of children's and regular gaming sites like Nick Jr. Italy and Call of Duty - Black Ops with multiple language options for virtual language immersion.
How has your instruction changed? Are your students engaging with similar tools? What results have you seen?
Have you changed your instructional areas as a result? Are you still using a physical language laboratory? If so, how is it equipped?
