Connecting Online for Instruction and Learning Conference (CO15)
Connecting Online for Instruction and Learning is a free 3-day Massive Open Online Conference (MOOC) on the first weekend of February. The conference started in 2009 with CO09. CO15 is the 6th annual event and is scheduled for February 6-8, 2015.
WizIq has been sponsoring the event since 2009. Participants will be able to access the webinars using the WizIQ desktop on a Windows Operating System and the WizIQ, Inc apps on their iPads and iPhones. Get the Apps for free.
The theme of the current free conference is connecting online for collaborative work. The topics will include learning, research, instruction, book authoring, and online teaching and learning in the public and the private sector.
This is my opening
class for Halina’s Conversational English Course on WizIQ.
I created this video to make it possible for everyone to get
familiar with Virtual Classes and online teaching. You can see how I use the
tools available on WizIQ.
I am very sorry about the quality of the recording. It is
obvious that I have to improve my technical skills.
The mission of the newly formed Science
of Learning Institute is to understand the most essential part of our
human capital: the ability to learn. The Institute supports research and
application that seeks to understand learning at all levels of
scientific inquiry—including how the brain changes through learning, how
development and aging affects our ability to learn, how neurological
and psychiatric diseases disrupt or change learning, and why there are
such vast individual differences that naturally occur among learners. A
central part of the mission is to understand how new technologies such
as machine learning and new educational programs can optimize
learning—whether it occurs in the informal setting of the playground,
the more formal setting of a school, a rehabilitation program, or
on-the-job training.
