Popplet for Higher Education: Supporting Organization and Collaboration
Laura Corbin Frazier
Journal of Teaching and Learning with Technology, v4 n1 p73-79 2015
In Foundations of Instructional Technology, a course in a Master of Education program with concentration in technology facilitation, an instructor integrated components of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework and enhanced organizational support through the use of a web-based graphic organizer. This article shares an innovative, technology-based approach to teaching using an old tool, the graphic organizer, in a web-based platform. Popplet is a Web 2.0 tool that allows users to quickly and simply create visually appealing graphic organizers that integrate text, image, video, and Internet resources to organize and present information. Popplet also supports collaboration as multiple users may develop a graphic organizer together and comment on each other's work. Strategies for using Popplet in higher education as a means of supporting Universal Design for Learning principles are provided.
