W07: Code Education Launchpad

By Bobbi K on June 22, 2014

YouTube Preview Image

Welcome to week 07 (Open Free and digital content)

Our group narrowed our focus to code education (programming code) at the postsecondary and professional level.

One of the first sources of information online to be shared openly (free of charge, remixable and reusable) was code. Programmers have been sharing code openly since the birth of the internet. There are indicators that educational resources are perhaps moving towards openness; yet, there are a number of contrary closed, institution, corporate, and start-up trends emerging which create a dichotomy in the market of code education (you can probably guess which side “Team Open Content” is rooting for!)

 

Our interactive OER presents the emerging market of code education, exploring both open and closed to fully illustrate the market landscape. You don’t need to understand how to code in order to understand code education’s changing nature.

 

Please visit our OER by [clicking here].

We hope you enjoy the exploration – Group 7 “Team Open Content”

– Angela, Nidal, Milorad, Yuki, Colleen & Bobbi

 

Also, to post a review of our OER, please use the “reviews” box field located on the bottom of this page! (Apologies, replies to reviews appear to be broken in this environment, so we will reply using the same feature which will appear above these instead).

Thanks again everyone for participating. Just thought we'd include a list of the changes made to the site based on everyone's feedback: The activity error found by Kendra has been fixed as well as the typo that Chris found. Kirsten's suggestion of Mozilla Webmaker Suite, Kendra's SkillCrush, Shaun's StackSocial and Max's Arduino suggestions were added (the last lead to a creation of a hybrid open/closed category). James's concerns about traversing back and forth between the two blogs for activities has been remedied by integrating the discussion directly into the resource pages(which alined with our goal of starting the commenting fresh for subission to NMC). Monique made a helpful suggestion of just strictly making hyperlinks and addition information tooltips red, so we also incorporated this. Ashley's mention of "conversational fluency" lead to a new horizon addition (#8 Changing attitudes regarding code as a new and prevalent "language"). We also re-arranged the horizons in order of importance as identified by our peers. Most of this was done on a new 'clone' of our Wordpress site at the following address: http://met.bgraphicstudio.com/code-ed/

I appreciated the professional look, simplicity and clarity of the site and your instructions; the 3 activities were very relevant (Activity #3 was the most challenging for me personally). Great job!

@Ashley, haha thanks! Each member brought different and very important strengths to the fore that proved equally and exceptionally useful. In truth I just added a bit of technical nerdity, we had a great and very well-balanced team. : ) We would have actually loved to create a link in the menu as you suggest, however this requires administrator access to the ETEC 522 blog which we don't have. I'm not actually sure how week 5 was able to do that, or if our instructors did it for them? We did inquire about this to David V. and David P. the week before our presentation, and offered to fix it if granted privileges, however it hasn't been addressed yet. I'm sure they are quite busy. To circumvent the issue in the meantime, we used the "Forums > Week 05/12 Opportunity Forecasts (A2)" stream and just posted all of our stuff there in an organized time sequence. Maybe they will fix this for future groups? https://virtual.educ.ubc.ca/wp/etec522/2014/06/18/11531/

Well done Angela, Nidal, Milorad, Yuki, Colleen & Bobbi! Your site was soo professional that at first I actually thought you had just linked to another site and created activities around it, but then I snooped around and discovered that it was a sub-domain of Bobbi´s website and portfolio. Her background must have been of use to you all in developing the site! You also did a great job of providing the relevant information and designing interesting activities that really got some passionate discussions going. The main area I would suggest for improvement that isn´t to do with your actual content per se, as it is to have placed your posts in the menu bar of the 522 site. It seems the Week 5 group is the only group who has done that successfully, so perhaps that is an area that the course instructors could aid us with further. Overall, a very comprehensive and engaging OER!

@Scheljon, thanks very much for the feedback. We agree that the items highlighted in red should be reserved for activities, links, and the places that it is used to indicate popup tooltips for more information on certain topics. These pages have been updated to correct this. Thanks for the great tip.

@Courtney, we appreciate the feedback and are glad the week was an enjoyable experience! Yes, the error on the week activity 2 page was thankfully fixed yesterday. Thanks for confirming that the fix shows up and works better. We only wish we had noticed it sooner.

@Karalea, thank you!
