Learning geared for the web age - OceanBrowser sails to
the world
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 1 March 2011 ) No one's really cracked the use of the web to create an enriched learning environment.
Sure, universities and schools will put up content under a content management system (CMS), but that's mostly a one way push, with students being unable to save (and just as importantly get back to) the important bits for them. The links between content and discussions around that content are also usually in different places - completely unconnected.
Bringing the academic/teacher into such a frame mostly means that they might provide an update at the end of the semester.
But privately financed Dunedin company OceanBrowser is on the cusp of launching a web-based application that it hopes will revolutionise how students learn, interact, save notes and discuss online documents.
For sticK – science, technology, innovation & commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based news service concentrating on following the money from ideas to income. Contact editor Peter Kerr at peter.kerr055 @ gmail.com
