Regarding my last post i have just discovered a very apt youtube video of a short segment taken from Austrailian TV. a very similar application in relation to my own ideas is in development by Australian organisation ‘Etech‘ by utilising the existing ipod software and hardware. Etecs software ‘Studywiz’ implements its own learning features. Such as Video lecture podcasts. Another feature that is similar to my ‘dynamic time table’ idea is also implemented. With assignments being updated on the existing Ipod calender.
“Studywiz is a dynamic Becta approved learning platform for schools. It is a key tool in transforming education to address 21st century needs.
Studywiz allows schools to meet government initiatives with the capability to link seamlessly to other systems, environments and content. Its inherent flexibility makes customisation easy and it has the potential to extend future use with specialised modules.
It provides an online space where educational content of all types is collected, organised and managed to create an enriched learning environment and curriculum for students. Studywiz gives teachers a unique tool for elevating instruction through personalised, collaborative and interactive learning and real-time assessment and results, and it supports parental participation in learning.
