What is it?The New Hampshire Learning Interchange (NHLI) was established through the Apple Learning Interchange Affiliate Program (ali.apple.com). This web-based authoring and publishing environment enhances the ability to create and showcase promising teaching and leadership practices. Through the storytelling power of video and the dissemination capacity of the Internet, education practices are showcased in a meaningful context. This environment facilitates the creation of education exhibits of teaching practices comprised of digital videos, lesson plans, reflections, standards, research, resources, and other appropriate assets.
Unlimited public access to the content on the NHLI affiliate site is provided to all site visitors. The site has the capacity to host and store up to 100 exhibits. For the site management team at the New Hampshire Department of Education, a Learning Interchange suite of production tools is provided to assist with the process of building and maintaining site contents.
Who creates the exhibits?
Several teams of NH educators from K12 and
higher education sites are in the process of creating exhibits now, through
support from Project New Teachers, a PT3
catalyst project. More exhibit teams are needed to expand the site. There
are many potential exhibit themes that could be created to support teaching
and learning in NH, supported by a variety of programs and initiatives. The
site management team is looking for ways to expand this opportunity.
Can I create an exhibit for NHLI?
Yes! We want you and many other NH educators to create
exhibits of practice for this site! First, you need to develop a theme
for an exhibit and contact the NHLI team. Next, learn how to create
and edit digital video content. Then you will gather elements for your
exhibit like photos, video clips, documents, student artifacts, research references,
and such. While you are pulling together the pieces of your exhibit, the NHLI
team can provide you with password access to the exhibit builder so you can
start pulling it all together. Before publishing, you can use the exhibit
approval rubric to fine tune your work. When the NHLI team okays your
exhibit for publishing, your work will be live and publicly accessible!
Who reviews the exhibits for publication?
NHLI is an initiative of the NHDOE as part
of an ongoing effort to identify and disseminate promising educational practices.
A Departmental group called the Promising Practices Committee has been established
to expand this initiative across programs and projects. For more information
about the committee, contact Dr.
Joanne Baker.
