I have posted the slides and audio for my Horizon Project VCOP talk on the subject of expectation effects. If you are interested in finding out how to separate a new technology’s true pedagogical merits from other factors that might influence its reception in the classroom, this talk may be of use to you.
As always, I’ll be happy to hear any comments or feedback people might have.
great talk, thanks for making this available (I’ll pass it on to my friends I couldn’t talk into using del.icio.us). I especially enjoyed your thoughts on observing the behaviour of others, making use of the knowledge already in there, and then adapt your own tagging strategies (or at least resist with good reason…)
