These presentations were a collaboration with Asmalina Saleh. The initial version of the talk was presented at the IU iConference 2011, where we briefly described some pilot activities that aimed to integrate the iPad into our graduate and undergraduate teaching as part of the IU iPad FLC. In the second, extended version of the talk which was presented as part of the iPad FLC workshop in May, 2011, we expand upon the framing of the activities, the activities themselves, and briefly discuss the various apps that we used as part of these experiments.

In this talk at the 2011 EC Moore Symposium at IUPUI I briefly summarize Activity Theory and then suggest an approach to using Activity Theory to design and reflect upon instructional design for face-to-face and online courses.
I have received an Honorable Mention award as part of the international Teaching With Sakai Innovation Award (TWSIA) for my work using Sakai and other online tools to extend classroom conversations between class sessions and to leverage these tools to help students think critically, reflectively, and in personally meaningful ways about course content (see the course description here).
Extending the Conversation
As part of this honor, I was asked to present my course design and motivations at the Annual Sakai Conference on June 16, 2010, in Denver Colorado. You can see the actual presentation on ustream or the slides from this talk on slideshare.
You can also see an extended version of this talk that was presented at Indiana University on 5/27/2010 on the CITL website.
Finally, here is a short interview of me discussing my design decisions at Sakai 2010.
