One of the nice things about Elluminate is the ability to view and listen to archived sessions. A few people have written asking for the archive of "New Designs for Assessment" from Friday, March 27th.
Here's the link to the Elluminate archive as well as just the slides:

CMC Meets in Second Life + Virtual Conference this Weekend
CMC Avatars: Some of us did meet in SL on March 17th, and we have snapshot to prove it.
Second Life continues to develop as an instructional venue -- a discussion is in the works about a shared parcel of land in Second Life for Colorado colleges. More to come soon--I attended the first meeting just last week.
March 27 - 29th: There's a conference going on in Second Life about Best Practices in Virtual World Education: http://wiki.vwbpe.org/index.php?title=Main_Page. No travel, and it's free.

CMC and CCCOnline Faculty have the opportunity to share a few workshop offerings, and the current workshop is about online discussions within our class offerings. While some participants are fully online faculty, online discussions can be used with any delivery, and the questioning and rubric sections of this workshop bring value to all discussion practices.
We have just been discussing building community and are talking about how audio and video could serve building community. So I did a little search to see if there were some examples of student introductions done in video. There were several for this particular online class. Here's one example:

Short Video Lectures
Today's Chronicle has a feature about San Juan CC's creation of video lectures running 1 - 3 minutes in length--lectures that created a very focused frame for presenting key concepts for students.
After the creation of the lecture, the students could then be directed to an active learning activity to put the concepts into practice.
Here's an example of one presented by an English Comp Faculty.

Might these also be of use in a tech supported class? I'm thinking they could be helpful in introducing concepts related to homework or discussion assignments. Your thoughts?
