When I was doing the literature review for this project, I stumbled upon a number of institute-built annotations tools across the globe with varying features, many of which had already seemingly disappeared. On further hunting, I found that a small few of these had effectively moved on from a beta version to a totally new tool with a new name, applying lessons learnt from the first version. My dreamy-eyed vision was that our MAT was so good we would just need to tweak it upon feedback. Now I feel that if we did have institute support, a rebuild would be required. This could take advantage of new and improved programming software available, and redesign it as an interface tool to connect to videos and other media already stored - rather than depending on additional dedicated server space for each video to be annotated. Alternatively, I would think that if the institute doesn't feel the need to support MAT any more, then I would like to see it handed over to the open source community. This has been suggested to me at conferences around the globe, and I get the feeling other passionate people could really run with this. This latter point gives me hope :-) <br />#ocTELMegChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14419650831190244946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178185326984397709.post-76199949763976087352014-06-15T04:59:19.266-07:002014-06-15T04:59:19.266-07:00This is a really in depth look at an e-assessment ...This is a really in depth look at an e-assessment tool and touches on many of the common issues that many learning technologist (or people with similar positions). The word that came to mind was sustainability of initiatives from pilots to wider adoption. Thank you for sharing this (what appears) to be a painful project in the end!
