This document discusses how Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics (MESI) uses technology for learning and management. MESI has 80 years of experience and employs modern teaching methods and information technologies. It also promotes research and innovative education. The digital world has led to improved communication channels, knowledge mobility, and social learning opportunities. MESI's students are fluent in IT and can find information online. MESI supports this digital generation by providing online resources, social media integration, and positioning teachers as guides rather than sole sources of knowledge.
Web 2.0 allows students and educators to create and interact both synchronously and asynchronously, formally or informally, at school, at home, in distance education programs, in the workplace, on all manner of devices. This shift has required an open mind about future possibilities, while also documenting innovative or exemplar practices and their relationship to curriculum. Now Web 3.0 heralds a further development in online information behaviours and knowledge discovery techniques. Are we keeping up-to-date with the relevant network and social media changes that are affecting the online learning environment that we wish to embrace? Can you spot the wolf in sheep’s clothing? This was a short presentation and discussion starter. Dowload the supporting document via the QRcode on the title screen.
In this presentation at SXSWedu in March 2013, Dr. Gigi Johnson explores the fuzzy world of “blended” courses in higher education. She dissects the tensions and tribulations as universities attempt to blend F2F and web-enriched tools in traditional environments, including challenges of time, space, and data politics in research universities, challenges with cost structures and faculty development, and abundant legal and IP issues. What is a class vs. what it could be with rich alternative technologies for learning? How do old universities rethink “class” instead of “just” repackage learning in a blended environment?
Lit Review: Web 2.0 and College Student LearningPaul Brown
This was a presentation based on a literature review I did for one of my doctoral classes in Higher Education at Boston College. It provides an overview of the concepts and the literature surrounding Web 2.0, theory, and college student learning.

Website – A Partnership between Parents, Students and SchoolseLearning Papers
The website developed by the 1.b class at the Augusta Šenoa elementary school is, first and foremost, a pioneering work stemming from cooperation among teachers and parents. The purpose of the website is to inform, activate, and involve parents, students and teachers who work in the classroom. Each activity is documented, giving insight into the everyday activities, and making the classroom visible and transparent to everyone. The project uses new technology (forum, gallery of student work, class mail), and enlists a partnership of parents, who made parts of the website.
Digital Learning Environments: A multidisciplinary focus on 21st century lear...Judy O'Connell
As a result of an extensive curriculum review a new multi-disciplinary degree programme in education and information studies was developed to uniquely facilitate educators’ capacity to be responsive to the demands
of a digitally connected world. Charles Sturt University’s Master of Education (Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation) aims to develop agile leaders in new cultures of digital formal and informal learning. By examining key features and influences of global connectedness,
information organisation, communication and participatory cultures of learning, students are provided with the opportunity to reflect on their professional practice in a networked learning community, and to improve learning and teaching in digital environments.
I present the idea of Social Semantic Information Sources (SSIS) and make a review of SSIS. I point out how important role SSIS play in e-Learning (informal sources of knowledge). I present a new idea of Learning Management System that derives from formal and informal sources of information.

competence in past
To carry out What a student
classroom courses needs?
able to find himself

To create new courses to record
knowledge the materials
doesn’t see the need
to record lecture To conduct a student
material towards learning
necessary knowledge
the only source of
needs a “guide” to knowledge is
Teach him with the use of

11. The evolution of educational
paradigm
«Student-teacher» «Student-knowledge»
• The students is obliged to attend • The student has excellent basic
classes at university IT skills
• The only two sources of knowledge • The student is capable to find
are lectures and books necessary information by his own
The modern student needs «guide»
in the world of knowledge, but not a source of knowledge!
www.company.com
12. Risks of digital communications
• Vast amount of information and contacts, but lack of
time for it’s processing and thoughtful communication;
• Discrepancy of high speed, amount of information,
desired speed of information assimilation, and
implementation of received information;
• Flexible work regardless time, place, and work schedule;
• Blurring of boundaries between work and leisure;
• Digital revolution largely balances personal
and gender factors.

13. Advantages of digital
communications
• Possibility to extend the implementation of management functions and to cover all levels
of management;
• More qualitative and complete control and analysis, including statistical and financial ones
for management decision making;
• Possibility to use a large number of knowledge databases for decision making;
• Efficient delivery of data for operational management decision making;
• Access to work materials and data from anywhere;
• Openness, accessibility, relevance, and efficiency;
• Possibility for vigorous career development;
• Opportunities for expanding contacts;
• New opportunities for self-positioning;
• Possibility for confidence boost of children and families by demonstrating them modernity through
communication with application of modern technology;
• Ability to work and to manage from any place and at any time by strengthening family and family ties;
• Transparency of main management processes allows to make right and operative decisions;
• Reduction of support staff and routine work.
