iPads at UWS: a Licence to Thrill. Presentation given at X World 2014, 3-4 July at the University of Technology, Sydney.
30,000 iPads: A Licence to Thrill - 7th Wave ConferenceLynnae Rankine
The University of Western Sydney embarked on a strategy to blend all its programs in 2012. Within that it decided to provide all students and all staff with iPads. The magnitude and the speed of the iPad deployment provided huge challenges to all sections of the university, especially IT and learning and teaching. It also challenged the prevailing orthodoxy of on campus lectures and classes and central controlled application usage. This bold initiative has stretched people to the limit, fermented a creative environment and on most measures has gone surprisingly well. Learn of the how’s, the outcomes, as well as some of
the dramas along the way.
Moodle is a free and open-source learning management system that is well-suited for differentiating instruction through student-centered learning and interactivity. Research shows that online learning is expanding rapidly in K-12 education, with half of high school classes predicted to be online by 2019 and 45 states having online learning initiatives. Students are interested in online courses for flexibility and control over their own learning. Moodle provides teachers resources to create online courses and activities to engage students.
This poster summarizes UCD Library's efforts to create and promote eLearning supports for students through two online "showcase environments" on their website. The environments include a Learning Support Menu for academics and a Supporting Your Learning space for students. These spaces feature a suite of self-paced, online learning objects created using eLearning software. The library team used a user-centered approach and decision framework to prioritize and design the learning objects, which helped raise their profile as eLearning librarians. Moving forward, the team aims to gather student feedback, promote the objects, and explore migrating the showcase environments to a new discovery platform.

The document discusses forecasts for learning and technology drivers in education. It notes that cloud solutions can help address total cost of ownership, capital vs operational costs, and make updating and support easier. Personalized learning, access to subject matter experts, data-driven decision making, and assessment are also pedagogical drivers. Links are provided to the proposed National Education Network in New Zealand and the London Grid for Learning as examples of connecting schools.
The document outlines a college's activities for Internet Safety Day over multiple years, including competitions to design a mouse mat promoting e-safety in 2010 and check Facebook security in 2011. In 2012, more departments became involved in revising an e-safety online course and tutorial. Subsequent years continued with displays and activities, including a spoof email inviting students to friend an unknown person to demonstrate safety risks.
SydPay - Micropayments at the University of Sydney - Matt Easdown, University...Blackboard APAC
Technology infiltrates many aspects of campus life - and making these interactions easier and more beneficial to students is another way that Blackboard is working to improve the campus experience. Hear from Matt and Paige today who will share how SydPay simplifies the student campus micro payment card and it's potential to revolutionise even further.
Weston College has developed the S.P.A.C.E. campaign to promote eSafety awareness. The campaign focuses on selecting safe online friends, protecting personal information, acting wisely, controlling privacy settings, and exposing cyberbullying. It is being implemented through a tutorial scheme of work and marketing materials. Foundation learning students received a differentiated assignment involving a social wall tool and video to develop their understanding of safe social media practices. eSafety is also addressed in ICT lessons for students with learning difficulties and disabilities.

Resources and Support - Y3 ssp 12 13 l13Miles Berry
Whilst school budgets are not likely to fall within your remit in the early stages of your career, specifying and choosing resources may well fall onto your shoulders. At a time when all public sector funding is squeezed, ensuring best value in ICT procurement is essential, as is making the best possible use of the resources currently available. Some sort of technical support for ICT in schools is now common, and the management of this may well form part of your role.
You reflect on the range and quality of technology available in the schools visited during your placements, making comparisons with national statistics. We consider a range of approaches to ICT hardware provision and consider some more economical approaches to ICT resourcing.
We discuss criteria for selecting ICT resources and for obtaining best value.
We look at approaches to supporting ICT in schools, and consider the role of the school network manager.

LMS stands short for Learning Management System.
Learning, because you use it to deliver education courses or training programs.
Management, because it helps you organize these courses (create them, change them, assign them to students, grade them, etc).
System, is just a fancy word that translates to "software". An LMS is a computer program.
Just like Word helps in writing documents and Gmail helps in managing the emails, an LMS is a software program that helps create, manage and deliver eLearning courses.
An LMS is the "engine" that powers eLearning, and in the most common form it consists of two separate parts:
- A server component that performs the core functionality (creating, managing and delivering courses, authenticating users, serving data and notifications, etc.)
- A user interface that runs inside your browser as a web (like Gmail or Facebook), that is used by administrators, instructors and students .

Shaping the digital future of FE and skills - digital pedagogyJisc
The webinar discussed challenges and opportunities for digital pedagogy and technology-enabled teaching and learning. Key challenges for the upcoming term include the digital divide disadvantaging learners without devices/connectivity, engagement of online learners, and delivering high quality instruction. Responding to these challenges requires consolidating tools/channels, maintaining learner engagement, and staff CPD. Moving forward, focus areas include accessibility of online content, mixed synchronous/asynchronous methods, single sign-on systems, and access to quality interactive content. Professional development is needed to support staff digital capabilities while identifying and assisting digitally excluded learners.
It's an Arms Race: A Perspective from a Higher Education PartnerHelen Farley
USQ has a long history of providing education to incarcerated students since 1989. In recent years, USQ has enrolled over 3,000 incarcerated students in 6,500 courses. To improve access, USQ implemented several digital projects from 2012-2018 including an offline portable device and courseware to allow fully digital delivery in prisons. While this increased access, it also created new challenges in keeping the technology and course content up to date. Overall, incarcerated student enrollment and outcomes have improved compared to non-incarcerated students, though ongoing engagement with corrections facilities remains important for continuing to expand educational opportunities for prisoners.

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.
