Gamification in learning

I'd like to invite every interested party to meet and talk about gamification theory and practice.

Possible topics to address: Do you use it? Does it work? Adoption success stories or fail reports? How it can be applied to Open edX courseware-level. Or maybe to a corporate level.

Adaptive learning

Adaptive learning is a way to engage students and save learning time still hitting the learning objectives. Or at least it should be.

Let's share our experience, thoughts, on which instruments we can provide to instructional designers to nail adaptive learning and create a better learning experience.

Open edX mobile apps

Let's talk on mobile apps.

Do we use them? How do they compare to responsive themes? What is lacking? Adding custom content types to mobile apps (xblock mobile views)? Distribution for corporations? etc.

Learning Analytics Use-cases

Everyone wants Insights, but what decisions are taken based on the analytics-provided data? Let's face it - Open edX Insights provides very basic tools and they are all very MOOC-specific. Latest additions for per-student analytics adds what corporate sector always wanted, but is it really useful? Sharing some real-world usecases on how this data is really used would be super-helpful. Which events did you add to make it more useful? etc, etc.

(maybe it's to be merged with what @Jill Vogel proposed)

Open edX marketing

(not sure who added this one, but i'd like to participate). My biggest concern here is that edx.org & open.edx.org does very little to promote Open edX. Many of universities have decided choose Canvas over Open edX to start their new e-learning initiatives (examples are ASU, BYU, USU, etc). Not sure what we can do here - would be happy to hear any ideas.

Video

Gathering for all of those interested in creating video content geared towards learning. We can talk about best practices, style, what video does best, budgets, gear, workflows and all of the tools and tricks it takes to get on camera presenters to delivery their best possible performance. Modality changes from in front of learners to a more cinematic experience. Also happy to talk about specific projects that open edX attendees have.

Video XBlock

Discuss the challenge of serving secure video. Appsembler and Raccoon Gang collaborated to build a new Video XBlock that features a pluggable backend, supporting many video hosting providers: Brightcove, Wistia, Vimeo, Youtube. If you're interested in this topic, also see the lightning talk on thursday at 1pm in room 4.1.D03.

Projects match-making

A way to reduce the development or time cost of projects on Open edX is to collaborate. If there is any functionality or tool you are currently missing in Open edX or edX.org, come to figure out if there are other parties needing the same features. We will be matching participants who would be willing to collaborate, to ensure the functionalities they need get developed and contributed to the project -- more quickly, and at a fraction of the total development cost.
