BuzzLion for the Week of August 24

It’s not quite the Labor Day weekend yet, but a busy week at ETS is finally winding down.

Elizabeth Pyatt, ETS instructional designer, runs a plagiarism site (well, more like an ANTI-plagiarism site). She blogs about her experiences dealing with plagiarism as an instructor, and how plagiarism often does not offer the benefits students expect.

Elizabeth also issued a request for PowerPoint tips to add to a list she is compiling for Penn State faculty.

Keeping with the students-being-naughty theme, Cole Camplese, ETS director, blogged this week about the Penn State Copyright site. He talks about the work that went into the project, pulled together in just a few months, and shows off the results, including a very cool video.

Tim Perry, ETS advanced learning projects coordinator, recently posted the latest statistics of the Podcasts at Penn State project. Take a look, and marvel at how this program has grown in a few years.

Allan Gyorke, ETS information technology manager, posted recently about using wiki history as data. Allan may have found a new use for wikis here.

Brett Bixler, ETS lead instructional designer, normally talks about the cognitive benefits of video games on the Educational Gaming Commons. But what about the physical education benefits?

Jeff Swain, ETS instructional designer, is working with others on the ANGEL Innovative Quiz Tool Initiative. Jeff talks about it and offers a link to keep updated on the project.

That is all for BuzzLion for this week – have a great Labor Day Weekend.
