Hi everyone,

I was looking for a way to add audio annotation to PDF files and found this on the York U. CTL site. Essentially it explains how to do this using Adobe Acrobat Pro.

We can get that software at the Campus Computer Store for cheap...what appeals to me as someone who hates marking and printing papers, is that audio annotation is faster, more detailed, and generally more personal. I wonder (though expect) that it will create the basis for a longer discussion with students about their performance rather than just annotate same as I've been doing for a decade or more.

Cheers, Doug

ipod touch applications will rescue the world and make teaching and learning way funner!!!

I think the applications associated with mobile devices like the touch - that are coming at us fast and furiously are finally putting us on the cusp of transforming the traditional classroom into group learning interactions. for example, my five second download of the app skitch - linked to from Doug's magazine article - creates a website for me that enables me to screen capture, share, edit, collaborate, etc...simply and quickly.

iPod used for Learning?

I wonder if there's a way to use this common technology in an active learning context? Regardless, here's an online magazine that identifies uses and apps for the iPod in learning.
