In the first phase, students participated in a VoiceThread exercise consisting of an exam review followed by a survey on the use of VoiceThread. Of the 22 participants (from a class of 61 graduating seniors), 64% specified they would like to use VoiceThread for future learning activities, and 73% indicated they would recommend VoiceThread to peers for the purpose of delivering presentations. In the second phase, 13 of the 22 respondents to the first phase were sent follow-up questions to elicit their perspectives as to whether the use of VoiceThread satisfied Chickering and Gamson's (1987) Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education. Eight of the 13 students responded, with almost all responses being positive with respect to the Seven Principles. The results lend some initial support to the idea that VoiceThread can be an effective tool for facilitating learning activities in business and other courses.Volume 8, No. 3, September 2012, pp. 223-237HTML / PDF http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=765472 Triangular arbitrage with foreign currencies with bid/ask spreads http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=765308 This class focused first on personal information management practices, and then expanded to include connecting with the right people online, collaborating, and how to use social media and web 2.0 in educational settings. Even if you don’t currently teach, you’ll be able to use the skills developed during the course to become a lifelong learner, and you’ll be in a better position to convince colleagues and stakeholders of the value of social media and web 2.0 for teaching and learning in your unit. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=764383 Triangular arbitrage with foreign currencies http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=762193 Lecture explaining range of factors affecting foreign currency exchange rates http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=762195 Interest rate and Income differential affect on foreign currency
