The goals are to provide wireless connectivity throughout the school, mobile devices for students, and cloud-based and open-source educational software. Professional development for teachers will focus on technology integration and digital literacy. The plan draws on recommendations from the National Technology Plan and the International Society for Technology in Education to transform learning with technology and prepare students for the future.
Workshop: Tech futures: Innovating pedagogy
Bournemouth University has already hosted its first holographic lecture, presented by BBC Arts editor Will Gompertz; is building an immersive suite; and is exploring technobooths of the future – but what technologies are there that are pedagogically sound, low cost, and can be delivered at scale? This interactive workshop will introduce participants to emergent technologies that will reflect the recent Open University Innovating Pedagogy Report on new forms of teaching, learning and assessment for an interactive world. It invites attendees to become active participants in productive innovation, and invites them to consider how they will meet the challenges of embedded these into daily teaching and learning.
Workshop facilitators: Dr Dave Fevyer, Innovation & Technology Manager; TEL Innovation & Development Service; Tracey Webb, Learning Technologist, Stephen Pyne, Learning Technologists, Dave Hunt, learning Technoloist, Dr Ben Goldsmith, researcher and Impact Lead, Dr Ann Luce, Principal Academic and Theme Leader for Technology Enhanced Learning and Debbie Holley, Professor of Learning Innovation.

BEYOND THE HORIZON OF LEARNING PROGRAMMING WITH EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIESUnisa
The research aim relates to providing perspectives on students’ uptake of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) technologies in an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) module taught in an Open and Distance e-Learning (ODeL) context. The objective of the study is to help students access the assessment and support provided via the VLE, possibly improving the pass rate of the module. Examples of how concepts were formulated within the theoretical and conceptual framework are provided. The methodology adopted a non-experimental quantitative research design. The data collection instrument was a survey. Results are presented on which VLE technologies students in this module used, including to e.g, contact their lecturer and e-tutors. Concluding, recommendations are formulated regarding improving implementing VLE technologies for an ICT module in an ODeL context.

Interactive Technologies for Improving Quality of Education to Build Collabor...ijsrd.com
Today with advancement in Information Communication Technology (ICT) the way the education is being delivered is seeing a paradigm shift from boring classroom lectures to interactive applications such as 2-D and 3-D learning content, animations, live videos, response systems, interactive panels, education games, virtual laboratories and collaborative research (data gathering and analysis) etc. Engineering is emerging with more innovative solutions in the field of education and bringing out their innovative products to improve education delivery. The academic institutes which were once hesitant to use such technology are now looking forward to such innovations. They are adopting the new ways as they are realizing the vast benefits of using such methods and technology. The benefits are better comprehensibility, improved learning efficiency of students, and access to vast knowledge resources, geographical reach, quick feedback, accountability and quality research. This paper focuses on how engineering can leverage the latest technology and build a collaborative learning environment which can then be integrated with the national e-learning grid.

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.
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.
