Create Interactive Content

Catherine contributed the links below. She states,

"Below are two wonderful user-friendly tools for content creation. 

The first one allows you to create an overlay on any webpage and allows users to annotate the web. Yes, the web! This means that students can identify, comment, elaborate, or question all sorts of text, images, and videos that instructors assign. Perhaps a law student or public policy student might scour relevant sites for the current debates or controversies in their field. Learners might be tasked with identifying and applying concepts that have been covered in a specific module by finding their own examples or contributing to the class resources.

With the second link, users can grab tweets, articles, videos, and other internet content into one space and sculpt their own interpretation or narrative. An instructor might use this to supplement a module with resources to explore. A learner might use this to create a display board to exemplify a perspective or their perception of a topic, or even use it as a place to produce their own content and extend ideas introduced in a course. 

Both of these tools allow for some control and guidance by the course designer, while permitting the learner deal with and gain from the complexity and increased sense of relevance and authenticity that comes with working with content in context."
