Presentation by Susi Peacock and Sue Murray for the JISC Netskills workshop on How ePortfolios can support 21st Century Learning, Newcastle 30th March 2011
The document discusses how technology-supported education systems can enhance learning through online interactive resources, immediate assessments, and paradigms like continuous evaluation, efficient teaching strategies, active and participative learning, simulations, e-labs, individual and group learning, and learning how to learn. It also explains how technology-based learning supports different learning styles, higher-order thinking skills, innovative and participative learning methods, hands-on problem solving, access anytime from anywhere, varied communication modes, real-time assessments, and self-realization in learning. Some challenges to implementing these technology-enhanced systems include financing infrastructure, teacher training, curriculum preparation, technical issues, teacher effectiveness, and student ability and skills.
Key differences between face2face and online teachingsmartcreative
The document outlines several key differences between online and face-to-face teaching. Online learners may be unfamiliar with expectations and procedures, so instructors must clearly spell out instructions. Online learners are also more likely to quit quickly if the course does not meet their needs, so instructors should provide encouragement and interaction from the start. While face-to-face classes have participators who ask questions, online instructors must be prepared to answer more questions individually. Despite these differences, some principles remain the same, like ensuring clear expectations, regular communication, and quality interaction between students.
The document provides best practices for creating effective tests and surveys. It emphasizes that assessments should have clear relevance to learning objectives and use accurate questions aligned to the material. A variety of question types can be used but they should be clear, avoid bias, and follow a predictable sequence. Feedback is important to provide learning and should be timely, neutral, and explain both right and wrong answers. Results should be monitored and experts consulted to ensure quality.
NOWAL Fcous Groups Exchange of ExperienceWill Reid
Focus groups are a qualitative research method where a small group of people are brought together by a facilitator to discuss and share perceptions on a topic. They can be used at any stage of research to generate hypotheses, assess results, or develop other research tools. Benefits include obtaining diverse attitudes and experiences in a time efficient way. However, they require organizational and facilitation skills to effectively guide discussion and avoid drawbacks like some participants dominating. Ethical practices like informed consent and confidentiality are also important. A case study example involved using focus groups to gather feedback on a new student learning zone before its official opening.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Exploring health learner experiences of, and attitudes to, feedback through ePortfolios
1. Exploring health learner experiences of, and attitudes to, feedback through ePortfolios Susi Peacock, Sue Murray and Alison Scott Project Information http://www.qmu.ac.uk/eportfolio/research.htm Contact: speacock@qmu.ac.uk & smurray@qmu.ac.uk
2. Overview of the workshop The project Drivers for our research Overview of research Learner perceptions of ePortfolio and feedback An overview of an emergent approach to feedback using ePortfolios to support the development of professional competency and identity in health science learners
3. Why ePortfolios and feedback? In groups, consider: Why feedback? Why ePortfolios What could be the advantages of/potential for linking ePortfolios and feedback?
4. Background thinking …. Students in the health sciences undertake learning activities in clinical environments where feedback is unstructured, ad-hoc, if at all. Feedback is critical for supporting professional knowledge acquisition , skills development and especially professional identity General student dissatisfaction regarding feedback Growth in popularity and application of ePortfolio in the tertiary education sector particularly for reflection
6. Learners’ perceptions of benefits of ePortfolio and feedback Immediate, permanent & accessible Single location Targeted and focused Springboard to further discussion
7. Learner quotations “…it's quite nice knowing it's going to be there and it's safe and you can access it whenever.” “I quite like the fact that if there's one specific issue you can generate a dialogue and I would never have done that with a paper-based feedback.”
8. Learners’ perceptions of barriers to ePortfolio and feedback Preferences for face-to-face Increased tutor workload Technical Issues Firewalls, software glitches Another technology to learn Time, skills acquisition
9. Learner Quotations “I’d hate to think that ePortfolio would mean that you wouldn’t get any of that type [referring to face-to-face] of feedback. I mean I think it’s nice to have it but I’d hate it to overtake, you know just get rid of the verbal feedback or any kind of interaction because that would be wrong.” “I think the trouble with that is it then puts a large workload on our tutor because she’s having to read every single person’s entries and think about them on these personalised terms and give personalised feedback. But yeah I agree it’s good.” “I think it’s the definitions of the things as well, I don’t know what a blog is or an asset is in e-portfolio, I know what it is in daily life but what is an asset in e-portfolio, what is a blog in eportfolio…. I think maybe I am just a bit older and I don’t understand the hip language but…”
10. Student perception of feedback Personal, written and/or verbal communication from tutor or specialist expert Informs student Are they on the right track? About their strengths and weaknesses Focus on error correction Expected and deserved
11. Learner Quotations “Feedback is when the lecturer is reading over your work and giving you suggestions and comments on how you can improve it, what’s right and what’s wrong.” “…because otherwise you would just be trouping on without any sort of way to gauge how you were doing, how you were…you could be going completely off in the wrong direction, and you need someone to say ‘hang on a second, go this way or find out what’s right and what’s wrong, what are the things you have done’ and direct you a little I suppose.”
12. Short summary Our learners like ePortfolio for feedback Little long-term engagement with feedback in ePortfolio A few cases: some wider engagement if across a programme and tutor support Learners have limited, one-dimensional approach to feedback narrow understanding of their role in feedback process
13. Maximising impact of ePortfolio for deeper engagement with feedback Learners need to Develop a broader conceptual understanding of feedback Take a more pro-active role in the feedback process Acquire a better understanding of how they can use ePortfolio for feedback Developed an emergent approach for health science learners
