Using Wiki's To Organize Information For Instructional Games...

While we normally don't focus on e-Learning in an academic setting, there is an article up on the Journal of Online Education about using wiki's to organize information for instructional games.

Collecting, Organizing, and Managing Resources for Teaching Educational Games the Wiki Way by Shelley Henson Johnson, Brett Shelton, and David Wiley

Synopsis:

"Recognizing the pedagogical value of gaming, academics along with game designers and educational content developers have begun producing resources to improve educational game design and make instructional games more accessible to teachers wanting to incorporate them into their classes. However, the rapid growth of such resources has made it difficult for educators and other interested parties to find what they need. As a first step towards addressing this problem, Shelley Henson Johnson, Brett Shelton, and David Wiley discuss the creation and proposed expansion of the Teaching Educational Games Resources wiki. They first created the wiki as part of a session at the Games, Learning and Society 2006 conference. Panelists and participants contributed to the wiki before, during, and after the conference session, creating an online space that incorporates syllabi and readings for educational game design, lists hundreds of online resources, and includes links to conferences and multimedia resources. After outlining the creation of the wiki, the authors suggest that its incorporation into an online self-organizing social system could facilitate its growth and the emergence of an online community of game designers, researchers, and educators interested in educational gaming."

Guidelines for Using Chat as an Instructional Tool...

Here's a useful article......Tips for Using Chat as an Instructional Tool by By Ruth Reynard

Excerpt:

"Chat software (text or media-based) provides an excellent tool in supporting academic dialog (exchange), critical thinking, and knowledge building. The immediacy of the technology provides students with a direct connection with the instructor as well as other students. While chat software is usually used for "chatting," and, therefore, it has a relaxed and colloquial protocol, with a little thought and planning, it can also be used well to support instruction............"
