E-Learning Project Write Up Case Study Ogun State Institute Of Technologydamilola isaac
Over the last decade, researchers and practitioners have developed a wide range of knowledge related to electronic learning or e-learning. This movement has affected different elements and components; infrastructures, tools, content-oriented applications, human-computer interactions, pedagogical issues, methodologies and models, case studies and projects. This chapter briefly describes the overall idea of the development of e-learning system for OGITECH by using Apache, PHP and MySQL. This chapter includes objectives of the project, scope of work, problem statement and features of project before developed the own sites.
E-Learning has its historical background in about 30 years of development in computer based on the training and education. With the growth of the internet this kind of training became much more accepted and the creation of multimedia contents and systems to manage learning activities went on faster. Additional e-learning is based on a long tradition of teaching and learning experience. The larger worlds Information Technology and Education and Training influenced the new term e-learning and so e-learning became a subset of both of them.
Nowadays, e-learning refers to learning that is delivered or enabled via electronic technology. It encompasses learning delivered via a range of technologies such as the internet, television, videotape, and computer-based training. In principle, e-learning is a kind of distance learning. Learning materials can be accessed from the web or intranet via a computer and tutors and learners can communicate with each other using e-mail, chat or discussion forums.
Therefore, it can be used as the main method of delivery of training or as a combined approach with classroom-based training. It can be valuable when used as a part of well-planned and properly supported education and training environment, but e-learning is not a magic bullet that replaces existing pedagogical theories and approaches.
Nevertheless, it has almost everything that those theories need to get implemented.
Many learning and technology professionals believe that e-learning will have become state of the art when we will stop referring to it by a separate name and begin considering it as an integral part of a complete learning environment.
Since 2006, Paris Descartes University has been using Elgg, an open source social networking platform, as a tool for all faculty members and students called Carnets2 Descartes. Carnets2 is used for any activity: from teaching and research to non-academic activities. Students learn how to manage their digital identity and to advertise their skills at the university level and also openly. Student articles and documents can be browsed and reviewed by any faculty members as a first move to social learning. An Elgg module has also been developed for mentoring student training. Carnets2 will soon be open to alumni. Carnets2 has been defined by the University President as a strategic tool for building a strong academic membership and strengthening the bonds between faculty, students and alumni. The next steps will be to develop better interaction / integration between Carnets2 and uPortal / Moodle.

Using digital technologies to implement distance education for incarcerated s...Helen Farley
As universities become increasingly reliant on the online delivery of courses for distance education, those students without access to the Internet are increasingly marginalised. Among those most marginalised are incarcerated students who are often from low socio-economic status backgrounds and have limited access
to resources. This article reports on four projects that incrementally build on each other, three of which are
completed, at the University of Southern Queensland that seek to provide access to higher education for incarcerated students. These projects developed a modified version of Moodle, called Stand Alone Moodle (SAM), which doesn’t require Internet access, but provides the same level of access and interactivity as regular Moodle. EBook readers were also used in two of the projects. A description of the projects, a summary of the results and issues is provided. The projects will be extended to deploy Stand Alone Moodle and tablet computers to correctional centres across Australia with a focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
SUNY Purchase and SUNY Delhi have begun a shared services project, where Purchase College provide Mahara ePortfolios to Delhi faculty and students through their Moodle LMS, while Delhi provides OpenMeetings and Big Blue Button meeting services to Purchase faculty and students through their Moodle system. This presentation reports on our work so far, focusing on the web meetings integration.

Tools of the trade: ‘Breaking the ice’ with virtual tools in online learningHelen Farley
The reality is that online learning can be a daunting and lonely experience. This is why icebreakers can be a rewarding practice for both students and educators. The use of icebreakers allows students studying online to introduce themselves and become familiar with other members of the group and/or community. Not only are these icebreakers used as a starter within the first
weeks of study, but they are also used to help motivate students throughout the course. Highlighted in this paper are particular online (virtual) tools that can be used as icebreakers within an online learning environment and help shift the view of isolation associated with learning online
and create a more engaged community of practice with effective learning.

FUNCTIONAL SEMANTICS AWARE BROKER BASED ARCHITECTURE FOR E-LEARNING WEB SERVICESIJITE
E-learning enables the learner to gain diverse knowledge anytime, anywhere and on any device. Learning
resources (objects) and resource providers play a very important role in e-learning applications/systems.
The increasing demand for interoperability in existing heterogeneous e-learning systems to support
accessibility and reusability is the most challenging research issue. Web services and SOA enables
interoperability between heterogeneous applications over the Web. To adopt Web services technology
towards the reusability and aggregation of e-learning services, the conceptual Web services architecture
and its building blocks need to be augmented. In this paper, a well formed functional semantics approach
is proposed to describe e-learning Web services providing variety of learning objects/resources. The
paper presents an extendible functional knowledge to map the learner’s or provider’s versions of service
descriptions into a standard form called Abstract Description. The authors propose a broker based elearning Web service architecture which facilitates effective e-learning service publishing and discovery
mechanisms. The paper explores a scheme to extend the WSDL 2.0 document in order to incorporate
functional semantics of e-learning Web services and their operations. The paper presents an e-learning
service knowledge called Learning Operation Tree (LOT) for the quick e-learning service discovery. The
experimentation shows that, the proposed broker based architecture for e-learning Web services
facilitates effective discovery with moderate performance in terms of recall and response.
Integrating Collaboration and Accessibility for Deploying Virtual Labs using ...drboon
The Virtual Labs Collaboration and Accessibility Platform (VLCAP) provides tools to further India’s National Mission project: the building of over 150 Virtual Labs (VL) for over 1450 multi-disciplinary undergraduate- and postgraduate-level experiments. VLCAP optimizes VL development and deployment costs and ensures a rich, consistent learning experience. Its multi-tier, scalable architecture allows VL builders to focus on their experiments. Its modules (VL workbench, collaborative content management, repositories) have axiomatically-designed interfaces that bring speed and efficiency to design. Its integration of user-management tasks (single sign-on, role-based access control, etc.) enhances flexibility without compromising security. The key accomplishments include its application of simulation VL and its provision of easily usable authoring tools, pre-configured templates, and management and assessment modules for instructors. VLCAP’s support of multiple deployment models, including the cloud, hosted, and mixed models, ensures scalable and reliable usage in hosted environments, and secure access for learners in remote locations.
E-learning, often known as "online learning," "virtual learning," "remote learning," and other similar terms, is an alternative to traditional classroom instruction. "Distance education," "digital learning," or "mobile learning." E-learning involves using several distinct technologies, including the web, open broadcast, loop, cable, microwave, broadband lines, fibre optics, satellite, wireless communications equipment, audio/video conferencing, and others, for one-way or two-way transmission. To improve educational knowledge, e-learning makes use of interactive technology and communication infrastructure. It has the ability to change how we typically teach and learn across the board. It will improve standards and increase long-term learning involvement. Although it cannot completely replace teachers and lecturers, it will improve the quality and scope of their instruction and reduce the time spent on administration. Each learner will be changed to reach his or her full potential, and it will make it easier to give an academic force the freedom to change. It makes a very ambitious educational system for an emerging learning society feasible. As demand grows, there is a need to standardise the E-learning system and to use new technologies to raise the standard of the current system. Despite the fact that many corporations and academic institutions have previously adopted various standards, there are still certain issues with these standards' benefits and drawbacks that must be addressed by incorporating new technical standards into the current norms to improve their usability and systematicity

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Systems
Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
8. Current Situation
• These learning tools provide learning services
and learning material such as, web pages,
videos, assessments, etc. Normally, these
contents do not fulfill with learning standards.
• The navigation and sequencing for all the
learning systems that make up the learning
environment is a complicate task. Professors
have not to know about programming;
therefore, an editor should be able to allow
professors to create sequences of learning,
using the different learning systems.
