The document provides an overview of a staff development session on Moodle, a virtual learning environment (VLE). The aims are to: identify what Moodle is; discuss how to access it; construct a course; upload resources; examine other Moodle pages. The session will include an explanation of what a VLE is and how Moodle works, a demonstration of creating a course and adding/editing resources, and time for questions and feedback. Moodle allows organization of lessons, resources, portfolios, and deadlines, as well as communication tools for one-on-one and group collaboration on projects and documents.
This document discusses experiences with developing and delivering open educational resource (OER)-based courses and massive open online courses (MOOCs) at Wawasan Open University. It outlines the process of developing OER course materials, delivering the courses, revising materials based on feedback, and designing OER-based MOOCs. Recommendations are provided to increase openness of OER through greater reuse, revision, remixing and redistribution of materials.
This document discusses the changing role of academics in online education. It notes that academics are no longer only responsible for subject matter expertise, but must also take on roles like instructional designer, project manager, and technical expert to develop online courses. This expanded set of responsibilities means academics have to learn new skills while still being responsible for teaching, research, and other duties. The document recommends that universities choose an online course development model, provide training to define roles, and free up academics' time so they can focus on their core functions.
The document provides advice on things successful people do differently. It discusses the importance of:
- Planning specific actions and reactions to distractions or obstacles in advance through "if/then" scenarios
- Getting honest and regular feedback on progress toward goals and focusing only on what remains to be done
- Maintaining a positive yet realistic mindset, recognizing goals will not be easily achieved
The document discusses different systems of measurement throughout history. It describes ancient systems like cubits based on body parts that lacked standardization. Standards later developed with Egypt standardizing cubits. The English/FPS system uses feet, pounds, and seconds and is mostly used in America for everyday tasks. The metric system is now the global standard using grams, meters, and liters along with prefixes for scaling units. While the US uses FPS daily, the metric system is the scientific and technical standard internationally.

9 things girls are obsessed with blog-soumi slidemanaswismg
Women are a race of organized human beings. They hardly miss to keep a track of their personal things. When it comes to their personal stuff, they are even so much obsessed with them, that they may even give up everything or leave everything else behind. It’s not just all girly stuff but something as important as Roti, kapda and makaan, to them.
The document discusses New Zealand's transportation system in the year 2050 and how it was transformed from 2011. It notes that by 2050, energy required for transportation decreased despite increased activity and improved quality of life. This was achieved by transitioning to more efficient electric systems, modes like trains and buses, and changes to urban form that reduced travel distances. The transformation involved using existing technologies from 2011 rather than waiting for new ones, taking a leading role to become an example for other countries, and aggressively pursuing infrastructure that made low-energy options the most practical choice.
Video Accessibility: Penn State Demonstrates Its Automated Captioning Solution3Play Media
July 13, 2012
Captions are text that is time-sychronized with the media. They convey all spoken content as well as relevant sound effects. Captions originated in the early 1980s from an FCC mandate for broadcast TV.
The 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act requires all Internet programming that previously aired on television with captions to have captions online, as well.
The values of captioning include:
- Accessibility for deaf and hard of hearing
- Accessibility for ESL viewers
- Flexibility to view anywhere, such as noisy environments or offices
- Search
- Reusability
- Navigation, better UX
- SEO/discoverability
- Used as source for translation
Penn State has 55 online courses. They have an increasing need for accommodation in online education. Here is Penn's accommodation process:

A presentation to the English Australia Ed Tech Symposium - Plenary Address.
Abstract: Those institutions that have pivoted rapidly from teaching face-to face to teaching fully online have learned many lessons over the last 18 months, both good and bad. But for some, this has been nothing new, instead it’s simply been business as usual. We have seen that those who fared better have well established frameworks in place to mediate their technology-enhanced learning offerings. That is, they have recognised processes that define how they translate what they have in policy, procedures and planning into practice. Such a framework can be found within a number of quality tools, that are designed to provide institutions with clear guidelines as to what need to be in place to facilitate a robust and consistent approach to teaching with technology. Once present, it makes it easier to undertake online teaching that does more than just mimic face-to-face practice, providing a robust platform to allow innovative pedagogies to thrive. Typically, this means the online learning has, or can become far more, active, collaborative and authentic. This presentation with share some of the things that have been observed across the higher education sector over the last 18 moths that we can all learn from.
This hybrid course introduces students to Microsoft Office Suite programs. Students will meet face-to-face 4 times over the semester, with most learning done through online tutorials and videos.
