The document summarizes the Academic Literacies Writing Programme (ALWP) at Mandela University. It discusses how the ALWP supports students by providing feedback on draft assignments online through writing respondents. It also outlines upcoming workshops on referencing styles and a project to integrate the Grammarly software to provide automated feedback alongside human reviews. Additionally, it introduces the Open Education Influencers programme which aims to promote open educational resources and practices among students and staff through advocacy and skills development. Plans are discussed to offer open textbook fellowships to support staff in adopting and creating open content for teaching.
This document discusses digital education and the benefits of digital learning platforms. It provides examples of digital learning companies like Byju's. Some key points:
- Digital learning allows students more control over their learning and helps them grasp concepts more quickly through innovative teaching methods.
- Companies like Byju's provide digital learning apps and resources that have grown tremendously in popularity. Byju's founder started by tutoring friends and saw demand grow significantly.
- Digital learning tools increase information sharing and provide equal learning opportunities for all students. It can replace traditional education methods.
This document discusses the shift towards using mobile tools and online collaboration in education. It notes that collaboration webs saw adoption within 1 year, while mobile tools were predicted to see adoption within 2-3 years. The current problem is that schools do not have enough computers or reliable infrastructure. A possible solution presented is facilitating a shift to students using their own mobile devices and accessing the internet during class, along with providing mobile tools, improving infrastructure, and offering teacher professional development. This could help schools explore new ways of learning through e-learning, such as connecting students across barriers, facilitating shared learning communities, and enhancing learning opportunities.

The use of technology in delivering quality learning outcomes in dual sector ...University of Limerick
Technology has transformed the way we find and use information. Yet in the tertiary education, the promised gains to learning from technology have rarely been fulfilled. MOOCs proved to be overhyped hysteria rather than a genuinely disruptive technology. The internet is awash with online degrees, most of which are unaccredited and worthless. However, rapid advances in digital technology, blended with face-to-face social learning and intensive workshop and laboratory work, hold out the prospect of making high-quality "dual sector" education and training accessible to students in remote communities in Fiji.
This document discusses the power of the internet and YouTube for education. It provides details on YouTube EDU, which is a portal designed to help users find high-quality educational videos. YouTube EDU has over 1000 channels and 850,000 videos. It also discusses the Khan Academy, a nonprofit organization that provides thousands of educational videos on a variety of subjects that have been viewed over 252 million times. Finally, it mentions how the availability of free, high-quality online content reduces costs for students and schools while enabling more access to education.
The document discusses the Becoming an Open Education Influencer (BOEI) project led by Mr. Gino Fransman at Nelson Mandela University. The project aims to train ambassadors who advocate for open educational resources (OER) through an online course.

Redecker et al (2011, 9) note that “The overall vision is that personalisation, collaboration and informalisation (informal learning) will be at the core of learning in the future. “ Our world is changing rapidly. Educators need to quickly adapt and change and develop new learning and teaching strategies that are fit for our times. Informal networks and open development opportunities enabled and extended through digital technologies are valuable to connect with other practitioners, share practices, support each other and innovate in collaboration with others within and beyond their own institutions.
Seely Brown (2012, 14) talked about the “Big Shift” driven by “digital innovation” and characterised by “exponential change and emergence, socially and culturally”. Can we afford to stay where we are and do what we always did? Or is there a need for academic development to maximise on opportunities to remain current, innovate but also model flexible, forward facing and sustainable practices which connect, engage and have the potential to transform practices and enhance the student experience. The European Commission(2013) calls institutions to join-up and open-up. Could this be a sustainable solution for academic CPD?
Bring Your Own Devices for Learning (BYOD4L) is an open development opportunity for educators and students, developed by academic developers in two institutions. It builds on open learning ecologies (Jackson, 2013), the concept of lifewide learning (Jackson, 2014) and the ethos of sharing, collaboration and co-creation of pedagogical interventions and collective innovation within a supportive community enabled through social media. BYOD4L brought individuals together to learn how they can use their smart devices for learning through reflection and active experimentation. BYOD4L has been offered twice so far, initially with a group of distributed facilitators and then with five participating institutions. Expectations and value of BYOD4L from both iterations will be shared with delegates. The open CPD framework developed maximised on the expertise and the resources available by the community and participating individuals and institutions and created a rich and diverse and multimodal learning ecology. This is the approach adopted in BYOD4L. Does the open cross-institutional CPD framework developed present an attractive solution for institutions more widely that has the potential to normalise the use of technology for learning?

Botswana is a South African country that gained independence in 1966 and has since transformed from a poor to middle-income country thanks to diamond mining. The Botswana College of Distance and Open Learning (BOCODOL) was established in 1998 and partnered with the Botswana Ministry of Education and Commonwealth of Learning to produce open educational resources to support secondary education. The project trained teachers in instructional design and using technologies like Moodle. Challenges included inadequate time and access to computers/internet for teachers, but providing laptops and mobile internet helped address these. Overall the project increased BOCODOL's capacity to develop OER and produced teaching resources that can benefit the education system.

African Perspective on The Global Trends in Open, Distance and Online Learnin...icdeslides
This presentation is about trends in ODL in an African perspective. Education and learning is probably that single thing that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long term perspective.
Higher education is increasing more rapid than ever, and Africa is a hot spot for future HE. Africa is lagging compared with richer parts of the world, but is catching up faster than many would have believed. However, better integration between education and economic value chains has to be more in focus.
For the post 2015 education agenda Quality Open Education Resources and ODL can make dreams come through. In fact, without OER and ODL, dreams about quality education for all might end up as wishful thinking.
Not all that shines is gold, and the MOOC hype has been replaced by a good portion scepticism in particular regarding target groups, lack of student success and learning outcomes. However, the driving forces for open knowledge are so strong that we again and again will se waves of innovations riding on online learning and mobile broadband, where Africa will through time will catch up and close the digital gap.
Teachers and teachers trainers is the key to educational success for Africa, and competencies and capability to provide quality ODL will be in the core. "If you want to go quickly, go alone.

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.
2. OpenEdInfluencers, or OEIs (say it out loud: Oh-wees), are ambassadors for Open who
increase awareness of Open Educational Resources and Open Education Practices. OEIs
facilitate the adoption, creation and licensing of OER. #OpenEdInfluencers energetically
advocate for the use of Open Textbooks across purpose, faculties and schools.
OEIs do, they don’t just say.
3. The #OpenEdInfluencers’ aim is to empower people
(you are people) to activate their goals,
by doing something about achieving it. BOEI is that vehicle.
The BOEI project aims to contribute towards The Sustainable Development
Goals, in whatever capacity or space, by enabling advocacy through an
online empowerment course.
Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning
Goal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all
Goal 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies
