TOUCHOO : Plateforme de création de livres interactifs
Il existe depuis des années des plateformes pour que les enfants puissent créer des livres interractifs et ce à tous les niveaux.
Touchoo, www.touchoo.com which was founded in early 2010, aims to provide the leading platform for the creation and distribution of visually-intensive interactive mobile book-apps.
It has released a web-based point-and-click authoring tool which enables to create elaborate, visually-intensive book-apps, and view them during the creation process on any PC or Mac, Android devices and iPads. No coding needed.
MOOC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course Wikipedia
A massive open online course (MOOC; /muːk/) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets, many MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support community interactions between students, professors, andteaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent development in distance education which was first introduced in 2008 and emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012.

ARTHUR BENJAMIN-Curated by TED Rendre pertinent l’instruction des mathématiques
http://www.ted.com/talks/arthur_benjamin_s_formula_for_changing_math_education.html La formule d’Arthur Benjamin pour changer la manière d’instruire les mathématiques (sur TED)
Il y a toujours quelqu’un pour demander à son professeur de mathématiques : “Vais-je un jour me servir dans ma vie du calcul ?” Et pour la plupart d’entre nous, selon Arthur Benjamin, la réponse est non. Il nous propose une audacieuse manière de transformer l’instruction des mathématiques pour la rendre pertinente à l’ère du numérique.

Kids can teach themselves, Hole in the Wall, Sugara Mitra
http://www.ted.com/talks/sugata_mitra_shows_how_kids_teach_themselves
Sugara Mitra , Inde, TED, 2007, 20:59, sub in 30 languages
Speaking at LIFT 2007, Sugara Mitra presents his Hole in the Wall project. Young kids in this project figured out how to use a PC in english on their own — and then taught other kids. He asks, what else can children teach themselves?
Educational researcher Sugata Mitra is the winner of the 2013 TED Prize. His wish: Build a School in the Cloud, where children can explore and learn from one another. He demonstrates that learning can be a self-organised system as long as collective interactions are able to fuel the system.
Educational researcher Dr. Sugata Mitra’s “Hole in the Wall” experiments have shown that, in the absence of supervision or formal teaching, children can teach themselves and each other, if they’re motivated by curiosity and peer interest. In 1999, Mitra and his colleagues dug a hole in a wall bordering an urban slum in New Delhi, installed an Internet-connected PC, and left it there (with a hidden camera filming the area). What they saw was kids from the slum playing around with the computer and in the process learning how to use it and how to go online, and then teaching each other.
The “Hole in the Wall” project demonstrates that, even in the absence of any direct input from a teacher, an environment that stimulates curiosity can cause learning through self-instruction and peer-shared knowledge. Mitra, who’s now a professor of educational technology at Newcastle University (UK), calls it “minimally invasive education.”
At TED2013, Sugata Mitra made a bold TED Prize wish: Help me build a place where children can explore and learn on their own — and teach one another — using resouces from the worldwide cloud.
The Basics of Scenario-Based e-Learning
Scenario-Based e-Learning to Improve Learners’ Engagement
http://elearningindustry.com/the-basics-of-scenario-based-e-learning by Christopher Pappas, February 2014
There are a myriad of instructional design theories and models to choose from when creating eLearning courses. In fact, selecting the one that fits your students’ or employees’ needs can often be a challenging task. However, if you are looking for a model that is ideally suited to improve learner engagement, then scenario-based eLearning may be the solution.Scenario-Based eLearning, essentially, immerses the learners in real life or situational simulations or learning experiences that allow them to gather skills or information that they will recall for future use. Information offered within a contextual setting enables learners not only to easily manage it within their working memory, but also to commit it to their long-term memory. There are a number of core characteristics for scenario-based learning, including:
- Realism In order to fully engage learners, the scenarios must be as realistic as possible, while still providing students or employees with the required information.
- Learner-centric The task should draw upon learners’ core strengths and allow them to use skill sets that they are developing, while at the same time improve upon their weak points.
- Involve applied learning strategies Each scenario should involve skills or knowledge that learners have already gathered and which can be applied to the current task. Under this method, learners learn by doing, rather than just merely reading or hearing about the information.
- Interactive Learners become fully immersed in the task and scenario, thanks to a high level of interactivity (even in virtual classroom settings). The interactive modules should rely upon real world experience rather than theoretical information.
How Scenario-Based eLearning Improves Engagement and Understanding
There are a variety of reasons for why scenario-based eLearning helps to improve learners’ engagement and understanding of core concepts. Here are just a few of the most convincing arguments for using scenario-based eLearning:
- Motivates the learner Students or employees are motivated to learn thanks to the fact that they know they possess the skills needed to accomplish the task and are being given the opportunity to build upon these particular skills. In essence, they understand that they are going to be challenged, but they are aware that they have the tools to meet the challenge and successfully overcome it.
- Allows the learners to directly see the eLearning rewards When learners can see the benefits of the eLearning course; they are more likely to get the most out of it. Rather than teaching the materials from a book or through a lecture, learners participate within a scenario in which they can directly see how the skills and knowledge will benefit them in the long term.
- Challenges the learner without overwhelming their mental capacity A good scenario-based eLearning activity or task will challenge learners to the degree in which they can expand their knowledge base without overwhelming them. If they feel that they cannot successfully navigate the scenario, then they will not give the effort that is required. As such, scenario-based eLearning can provide them with real world obstacles and problems that they will face in order to expand their skill sets and knowledge base, while keeping them engaged in the eLearning process.
