  1. Rich Internet Applications: Audio and Video Dropbox, Conversations, and Mashups Scott Sterling

  2. Some tech lingo

  3. Where is my handout? • We have some flyers available • However, CLEAR has been working hard to create digital documentation • http://clear.msu.edu/teaching/online/ria/

  4. What is a RIA? • Rich Internet Application • They are FREE to use • Can be used in most course management sites (D2L, Moodle, Edmodo, Wordpres) • Currently 12 different web applications • No content, just functionality • You create the content

  5. What is a RIA? (cont.) • Pedagogically motivated • Benefits • Allow shy/quiet students to talk more • Give students more chances to practice speaking • Can help ease stress in the classroom

  6. What do I need to use the RIAs? • A CLEAR account (free to sign up for) • Basic computer knowledge • copy/paste • drop and drag • Identifying online elements (embed code, URL)

  7. What will we talk about today? • Audio Dropbox - online audio recorder • Video Dropbox - online video recorder • Conversations - simulated conversation • Mashups - simple web page creator

  8. Problem • Your students are not getting enough verbal practice • 50 minutes divided between 20 students = 2.5 minutes of talk time per student • You have one student who talks too much or one student who talks too little • You are teaching a speaking class and want your students to practice speaking at home

  9. One solution • Use web-based tools that allow students to practice: • whenever • wherever • at their own pace

  10. Audio DropBox • This tool allows you to embed an audio recorder into your website • Students’ recordings automatically get sent back to your Audio Dropbox account

  11. Audio Dropbox: what the students see Stop button Recording indicator Recording Playback Start recording Recording time Upload recording Delete recording

  12. Audio Dropbox: What you see

  14. Video Dropbox • Similar to Audio Dropbox but it allows your students to record video of themselves

  15. Video Dropbox: what the students see Buttons should look familiar to you

  18. Problem • My students need to practice for the AP exam, OPI, or a class speaking test • My students have no idea how to interact with people from X • I don’t get to have many one-to-one conversations with my students

  19. Our solution • Use a static tool that simulates conversations • **CLEAR’s Conversations • CeLTA has practice OPI tests in Spanish, German, and French • http://celta.msu.edu/assessment/improving.php

  20. Conversations • Similar to an Audio/Video Dropbox • embed it into your website • When students start app • they see a prerecorded question • respond immediately to it • repeat until all questions are finished

  26. Problems • These tools look great but I am not good at technology • I want my students to design web pages for a project but I want to keep it simple • I don’t have a homepage/course management site

  27. Our solution • Use Mashup • A simple web page developer • All of the examples today have been in Mashups

  28. Mashups • Allows you to create a web page and include various elements • Video (Youtube) • Audio • Embeddable elements (wikis, Conversations, Audio/Video Dropboxes • Text • Images

  32. Your turn! Build an activity that helps solve one of these issues • You have a test scheduled for next Thursday. You want your students to practice asking for directions. • One of the goals for your course is to have students learn how to order food at a restaurant. • Students in your class are having trouble pronouncing certain sounds.

  33. Share!

  35. Questions and play time • Please ask any questions you have • Use the rest of the time to design an activity you need for your class. I will come around and help everyone I can.
