\"Heartland<\/a>I’ve spent the last two days attending and presenting at the Heartland eLearning Conference<\/a>. It’s a really great conference, with fantastic speakers (Michael Wesch<\/a>, Lee Crocket<\/a>, Alec Couros<\/a>, Mark Milliron<\/a>, and dozens more over the past couple of years) and I leave excited and inspired every year.<\/p>\n

This year I was very excited to be asked to give two talks at the HELC<\/a>. The first was a short “Think Talk” called “Class Assignments that Shatter the Box.” It designed to stimulate and challenge the status quo about what course assignments could or should do, by highlighting a couple of projects that my students and I have worked on over the past four years (including our two<\/a> free textbooks <\/a>and two <\/a>documentary series<\/a>). I was specifically asked to give this talk after several of the conference organizers watched me give the below talk at IgniteOKC 4.0 this past November.<\/p>\n
