A library in your pocket will help bridge the digital and information divide by giving everyone access to information through mobile devices. Mobile technology has spread rapidly globally and can provide affordable access to information anywhere, helping achieve education for all and reduce learning gaps between rich and poor. Putting religious books online for free increased their print sales, showing digital access can encourage rather than replace physical access. A library in one's pocket through mobile learning can provide intellectual nourishment and development to help ensure survival.

Lori Takeuchi and Briana Pressey presented "Zooming in: Studying family engagement with media at large and small scales" at the "Learning With Technology: Different Perspectives From Low-Income Families" panel at the AERA Annual Meeting in April 2014. In this presentation, they shared findings from two complementary studies aimed at understanding how families with young children are using media together. Both studies are part of the Families and Media Project, a multi-institution consortium that is being funded by the Bezos Family and Heising-Simons Foundations.

Mobile learning for healthcare training: breaking boundaries?Breaking Boundaries
Niall Winters will present his current ESRC/DFID-funded research (see: http://www.mchw.org) on the design and implementation of mobile learning interventions to support the training of healthcare workers in Kenya. He will discuss how the project has sought to determine how mobile technologies can help address the boundaries to participation in learning faced by healthcare workers and their trainers.

Depending on the type of library in which you work, you may assume that someone is "digitally literate." Yet what do we mean by those words and how do we know if the person meets our definition? What can we do in our libraries to increase the information and digital literacy of our users/patrons/members/owners? How does that impact the tools that we acquire and the services that we provide? Who should we be partnering with in these efforts? These and other questions will be address in this session, which will also include time for brainstorming.

Education for all : Education is a fundamental right that should be available to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, gender, or any other factor. All people should have access to quality education, including access to books, technology, and experts who can help them learn. To ensure Education for All, governments should invest in public schools and libraries, provide free tuition for college and technical school, and support programs that increase access to educational resources. Additionally, organizations and individuals should work together to create learning opportunities that are accessible to everyone. By creating a culture of learning and knowledge sharing, we can make sure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
“One Library Per Village” is a revolutionary notion, and when people don’t have free access to books and internet , then communities are like radios without batteries. You cut people off from essential sources of information — mythical, practical, linguistic, political — and you break them.
Learning and Education in the Networked SocietyEricsson Slides
It took 100 years to connect 1 billion places and 25 years to connect 5 billion people. Today, 85 percent of the world’s population has access to mobile communications, and by 2020 we expect there to be 50 billion connected devices.
Mobile phones, tablets and laptops are making the school desk as we know it obsolete. Today’s progressive schools are having their classrooms rebuilt to turn them into multifunctional spaces to enable new ways of learning. A new Ericsson Networked Society report, "Learning and Educations in the Networked Society" , shows that introducing ICT in schools affects six principal areas.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
