It’s called History “<strong>pin”</strong> because the photos are pinned on a map. (See recent article about <a title="Changes over time, in photos and maps" href="http://www.idea.org/blog/2013/08/21/changes-over-time-in-photos-and-maps/">Changes over time, in photos and maps</a>.) Some locations have photos from multiple dates, showing how a place has changed over time, or cross-referenced with Google Maps StreetView. Currently, Historypin has 308k items, from 51k users, and 1.4k institutions. This is a graph of pins over the last three years: <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2013/12/09/challenges-of-crowdsourcing-analysis-of-historypin/#more-4375" class="more-link"><span aria-label="Continue reading Challenges of crowdsourcing: Analysis of Historypin">(more…)</span></a></p> </div> <div class="meta"> <ul> <li>Posted in <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/category/business-management/" rel="category tag">Business</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/category/strategy/" rel="category tag">Strategy</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2013/12/09/challenges-of-crowdsourcing-analysis-of-historypin/#comments">1 Comment</a></li> <li>Tags: <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/community/" rel="tag">community</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/crowdsourcing/" rel="tag">Crowdsourcing</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/culture/" rel="tag">culture</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/google-street-view/" rel="tag">Google Street View</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/history/" rel="tag">history</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/historypin/" rel="tag">Historypin</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/knowledge/" rel="tag">knowledge</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/maps/" rel="tag">maps</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/outreach/" rel="tag">outreach</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/streetview/" rel="tag">StreetView</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/user-interface/" rel="tag">user interface</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/web-2-0/" rel="tag">Web 2.0</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="post-3968 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-communications category-strategy tag-community tag-hashtags tag-outreach tag-twitter" id="post-3968"> <div class="title"> <h2><a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2012/10/29/30-popular-twitter-hashtags-for-education-and-outreach/" rel="bookmark">30 popular Twitter #hashtags for education and outreach</a></h2> <p class="info"><strong class="date"><a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2012/10/29/30-popular-twitter-hashtags-for-education-and-outreach/" rel="bookmark">October 29th, 2012</a></strong> by IDEA</p> </div> <div class="content"> <p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3976" title="hashtags" src="http://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Screen-Shot-2012-10-27-at-4.51.31-PM-150x42.png" alt="" width="150" height="42" srcset="https://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Screen-Shot-2012-10-27-at-4.51.31-PM-150x42.png 150w, https://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Screen-Shot-2012-10-27-at-4.51.31-PM.png 166w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />Twitter hashtags are useful for promoting your projects, learning about new topics, and discovering trends.

As followup to my <a title="What is an online course?" href="http://www.idea.org/blog/2012/01/11/what-is-an-online-course/">post about “What is an online course?”</a>, let’s look behind the scenes at a few kinds of successful online classes, rich with video, feedback and large amounts of real-world work.</p> <p><strong>Structuring a course</strong></p> <p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3470" title="MoMA" src="http://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-Shot-2012-01-23-at-3.30.59-PM1.png" alt="" width="153" height="41" srcset="https://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-Shot-2012-01-23-at-3.30.59-PM1.png 153w, https://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-Shot-2012-01-23-at-3.30.59-PM1-150x40.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 153px) 100vw, 153px" />The<strong> Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) </strong>currently has six 8 or 10 week <a href="http://www.moma.org/learn/courses/online">online courses</a>. The cost is $200 for self-guided courses, or $350 for instructor-led. The latter enroll 30-45 students. MoMA offers both knowledge classes, e.g., “Modern and Contemporary Art: 1945–1989,” and knowledge/skill courses, e.g., “Materials and Techniques of Postwar Abstract Painting,” in which students do hands-on work at home.</p> <p>The instructor-led classes offer structure, socialization and personalization; whereas, the self-guided courses are about individual freedom, providing access to curated articles and video, with no live instructor facilitation nor social interaction with other students.</p> <p><a href="http://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-Shot-2012-01-17-at-7.48.23-PM.png"><img class="alignleft" title="Video from the gallery" src="http://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-Shot-2012-01-17-at-7.48.23-PM-150x82.png" alt="" width="150" height="82" /></a>The studio-art offerings have weekly assignments. For example, students paint canvases using the materials and techniques of iconic artists. They photograph their works in progress and finished, and upload them to discuss with other students and the instructor. Wendy Woon directs MoMA’s education department. She feels the 10-week timeframe has worked well for studio art, allowing enough time for a sense of trust and community to develop in the discussion forums so that students are willing to have “critical conversations” criticizing each other’s work.</p> <p> <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2012/01/24/online-courses-for-learning-skills-moma-nyt-knitting/#more-3351" class="more-link"><span aria-label="Continue reading Online courses for learning skills: MoMA, NYT & knitting">(more…)</span></a></p> </div> <div class="meta"> <ul> <li>Posted in <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/category/interactivity/" rel="category tag">Interactive experiences</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/category/learning/" rel="category tag">Learning & access</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2012/01/24/online-courses-for-learning-skills-moma-nyt-knitting/#comments">3 Comments</a></li> <li>Tags: <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/access/" rel="tag">access</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/art/" rel="tag">art</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/classroom/" rel="tag">classroom</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/community/" rel="tag">community</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/craftsy/" rel="tag">Craftsy</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/distance-learning/" rel="tag">Distance Learning</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/e-learning/" rel="tag">e-learning</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/education/" rel="tag">education</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/experiences/" rel="tag">experiences</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/museum/" rel="tag">museum</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/museum-of-modern-art/" rel="tag">Museum of Modern Art</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/nytimes/" rel="tag">NYTimes</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/online-course/" rel="tag">online course</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/the-new-york-times/" rel="tag">The New York Times</a>, <a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/tag/user-interface/" rel="tag">user interface</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="post-3248 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-learning category-strategy tag-access tag-classroom tag-community tag-distance-education tag-education tag-gamification tag-higher-education tag-learning-2 tag-mobile tag-museum tag-online-course tag-teaching tag-virtual-school" id="post-3248"> <div class="title"> <h2><a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2012/01/11/what-is-an-online-course/" rel="bookmark">What is an online course?</a></h2> <p class="info"><strong class="date"><a href="https://www.idea.org/blog/2012/01/11/what-is-an-online-course/" rel="bookmark">January 11th, 2012</a></strong> by IDEA</p> </div> <div class="content"> <p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3335" title="Online course robot" src="http://www.idea.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-Shot-2012-01-06-at-12.51.19-PM.png" alt="" width="121" height="142" /></p> <p>“The debate about which is better, face-to-face learning or online learning is fast becoming obsolete,” says <a href="http://learningdesign.psu.edu/index.php/section/staff/jennifer_berghage">Jennifer Berghage</a>, an instructional designer at Pennsylvania State University.
