This document discusses the use of wikis in education. It begins by defining wikis as websites that allow collaborative editing without technical skills. Examples are given of how wikis can be used in classrooms for projects, discussions, and sharing resources. Research is cited showing wikis support cooperative and active learning. Specific classroom examples demonstrate how teachers have utilized wikis as hubs for instruction, collaboration between students, and connecting classrooms globally.
A wiki is a collaborative website that allows users to easily add and edit content. Wikis are useful educational tools as they encourage collaboration and sharing of information. They allow students and teachers to work together online to create and edit documents, discuss course materials, and build a community of learners. Key benefits of using wikis in education include reducing redundant work, interlinking concepts, enabling multiple edits of content, and making information searchable and updatable over time. Teachers can create wikis for managing class materials and discussions, while students can use wikis for collaborative research projects and distributing what they've learned.

This document discusses the use of wikis as a teaching and learning tool. It defines wikis as collaborative websites that allow users to easily create and edit web pages together. Wikis can be used to share information and knowledge, as well as a tool for collaborative authoring. The document lists several ways wikis can be used in education, including promoting active learning, giving students authentic material to work with, developing teacher's knowledge management, and allowing both teachers and students to easily edit and provide feedback on material. It concludes that wikis offer benefits for knowledge sharing and constructing knowledge collaboratively.
This document discusses using wikis in the classroom. It notes that wikis can improve learning by putting learning in students' hands with guidance and encouraging collaboration and engagement. Wikis allow for multiple authors, sharing, and collaboration. Students generally like wikis as they allow 24/7 access to materials and a sense of ownership. Some challenges are that students may be uncomfortable with collaboration, self-directed work, or critiquing peers. Best practices include providing training, clear expectations, modeling collaboration, and choosing a multifunctional platform.

This document discusses the use of wikis in education. It explains that wikis allow for collaboration and allow approved users to add, revise and remove content on projects. This allows students to work together on group projects. It also notes some challenges of using wikis, such as lack of motivation if assignments are not meaningful. However, it says that wikis can promote constructed knowledge and collaborative writing when used effectively. Teachers need to carefully plan assignments that use wikis to maximize engagement and learning.
This document discusses the potential of wikis for education. Wikis allow for collaborative editing of websites by anyone with internet access. They use a simple markup language and versioning allows for quality control by tracking changes to pages. Wikis empower individuals and communities by providing simple digital tools that reduce barriers. Wikipedia in particular is highlighted as it provides free access to the sum of human knowledge through its millions of volunteer-authored articles in over 200 languages.
A wiki is a website that allows for collaborative editing, where multiple people can easily edit and contribute content. Wikis have several benefits for educational use, allowing students to work together on group projects and share resources. Educators can monitor student activity and edits on a wiki. Wikis also do not display advertisements and educator wikis are free for teachers and students to use.
Wikis were created in 1995 as a way for individuals to collaboratively link, comment on, and edit each other's work, inspired by the Hypercard software. When used in the classroom, wikis allow students to play a greater role in creating course content through discovery and co-authoring assignments, while learning the benefits of teamwork through features like group editing and peer review. Wikis are convenient collaborative tools that can be accessed and edited remotely.
Pedagogy in Public: Open Education UnboundRobin DeRosa
The document discusses the benefits of open education and open educational resources (OER). It notes that textbook costs have risen significantly and that many students do not purchase required textbooks or take fewer courses due to high costs. Openly licensed educational content can help address these issues by providing free, collaborative, and customizable learning materials. The document advocates for open pedagogy, which treats education as a learner-driven process and connects universities to the wider public. Open access to research is also discussed as a way to fulfill the promise of disseminating scholarship widely in the digital age. Challenges to open practices, like barriers to access and power dynamics, are acknowledged and addressing these issues is presented as an important part of advancing open education
Putting the "Public" Back in Public HigherEdRobin DeRosa
This document discusses ways to strengthen public higher education through open educational practices. It advocates for using open educational resources to lower student costs, open pedagogy to connect students to real-world problems and communities, and open access to research to maximize the impact of scholarly work. The document argues that these practices fulfill the mission of public universities by increasing access to education, treating learning as collaborative rather than competitive, and widely disseminating knowledge for public benefit.
The document discusses wikis and their educational benefits and uses in the classroom. It provides examples of wiki projects for students, such as writing collaborative stories, creating electronic portfolios, developing travel guides and information about animals and presidents. It also outlines how to set up wikis and introduce them to students, addressing issues like content control and privacy.
This document discusses open education and its benefits. It defines open pedagogy as connecting students to the public to empower them to shape their future. Open access is described as allowing academic research to benefit the public and engage with influence from the public. Open educational resources are presented as relieving the financial burden on students of textbook costs, which average $1,328 per year, and supporting public education. Data shows high percentages of students do not purchase required textbooks or take fewer courses due to cost. Creative Commons licensing is described as allowing openly-licensed content that should not cost much. Benefits of open educational resources include their multimedia, accessible, interactive, collaborative, dialogic and dynamic nature which can empower contribution and keep content current
The document discusses using wikis for peer review in writing classes. It describes how wikis allow students to collaborate as both content producers and reviewers. The presenter created a wiki classroom environment where students provided feedback on each other's work. This led students to self-correct and focus on improving rather than grades. It shifted the teacher's role from sole expert to guide of the collaborative process. The experience suggested wikis can support peer review and develop students as mentors.
This document discusses pathways to impact for research universities. It notes that Research Councils UK defines research impact as the demonstrable contribution of excellent research to society and the economy. It then identifies some challenges to impact and possible pathways to address these challenges, including ensuring research and practice inform each other, engaging with organizations that bridge research and practice, getting universities closer to the education world, understanding audiences, and being creative.
Wikis are websites that allow easy creation and editing of interlinked web pages. They encourage collaboration through spatial organization rather than a predetermined structure. Wikis can be used in education for collaborative projects, knowledge sharing, and presenting results. While they provide flexible collaboration, technical and pedagogical barriers must be addressed, and content cannot be considered fully reliable or authoritative due to open editing. Assessment of student contributions also presents challenges due to the collaborative nature of wikis.
This document explores the influence of granularity on open educational resource (OER) reuse through various lenses. It discusses the differences between "big OER" produced by institutions and "little OER" produced by individuals, and hypothesizes that granularity can provide insight into many issues around open content like sustainability, aggregation, and context. Different models of OER sustainability are examined, and questions are raised about whether embracing little OER or stopping building separate OER sites could help address sustainability challenges. The relationship between content, projects, and new ways of working with open resources is also discussed.

This document discusses a project at Blackburn College where criminology students were assigned to take photographs related to the theme "What is Crime?" and exhibit them publicly. The goals were to encourage learning beyond the classroom, respond to individual needs, and encourage participation in a learning community. Student photographs addressed topics like elder abuse, poverty, and the effects of recession. Evaluations found the exhibition changed viewers' attitudes towards different crimes and types of harm. The method allowed for creativity and insight beyond traditional assessments.
This document outlines a lecture and seminar series at UCBC on community challenges. It discusses the evolution of the web from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. It also highlights the large amount of misleading information online and the need for digital abilities like finding accurate information and sharing content appropriately. Key skills for the future are identified as flexibility, resilience, adaptability, teamwork, and lifelong learning. Problem solving and thinking outside the box are emphasized. The document concludes by noting attribution to Steve Wheeler of Plymouth University for most of the slides.
Powerpoint reflections discusses the accelerating pace of change and whether "death by powerpoint" presentations are as common as political correctness gone mad. It also quotes Socrates saying that he cannot teach anyone, only make them think.
The document outlines a four-stage process for developing a comprehensive approach to employability in higher education. Stage One involves discussion and reflection on what employability means, expectations, and needed support. Stage Two is to review and map out which employability features are currently addressed, how they are audited, and students' awareness. Stage Three is to identify any gaps from Stages One and Two and determine actions needed. Stage Four is to evaluate the effectiveness of the approach and collect evidence, including from alumni, on whether a defined, cohesive employability process was achieved.
The document discusses skills developed working for the prison service that are transferable to other careers, including presentation, administration, literacy, research, teamwork, and communication skills. It describes the roles and responsibilities of prison officers, such as ensuring security, monitoring prisoners, and encouraging rehabilitation. Finally, it outlines the NOMS graduate program for becoming a prison governor, including initial training, progression to management roles, and competitive selection process.
The document discusses the future of learning and how digital technologies are changing education. In 3 sentences:
The future of learning will see a shift towards more self-directed, collaborative learning where students curate and create digital content. Learners will need new digital literacies to effectively manage their online identities and evaluate online information. Educators will need to blend formal and informal learning to prepare students for a future impacted by technology that is difficult to clearly define.
This document discusses how social media can be harnessed to increase accessibility, amplification, and accuracy of information while maintaining authenticity. It explores how social media allows for widespread sharing of content and crowdsourcing of knowledge. Examples are given of how memes, videos, and images spread virally online. The challenges of information overload, trust, and wisdom of crowds versus stupidity of mobs are also examined.
The document discusses emerging trends in learning, including the blending of formal and informal learning, personalized learning environments, and new literacies required for a Web 2.0 world. It explores how learning is becoming more social, collaborative, participatory and connected through tools like blogs, microblogs, media sharing, and connectivism. The talk suggests that future learning will be anytime, anyplace, and personalized through intuitive mobile devices and a "Smart eXtended Web".
The document compares the views of Anderson and Weller on open learning. They both see open learning as initially focusing on access but now facilitated by technology like Web 2.0. An open scholar uses new technologies, has an online identity, networks, and encourages critique. Weller sees openness as shaped by ease of sharing and sees two types of open educational resources. Anderson sees three overlapping learning environments and emphasizes relationships over information. Both see adoption of open scholar characteristics as engendering lifelong learning.
This document discusses connected educators and their personal learning networks (PLNs). It notes that connected educators have access to greater support and information than those working in isolation. Connected educators can share knowledge more easily, which has become an important part of their skills. The document also discusses open access publishing and how it can provide larger readerships for research compared to traditional publishing models. It encourages nurturing one's own PLN to help it grow and gain rewards.
This document discusses personal learning environments (PLEs) and how learning may occur in the 21st century. It explores concepts like PLEs, personal learning networks, web 2.0 tools, and social learning. The document suggests that PLEs allow learners to take control of their own learning across different contexts, rather than relying on a single provider. Learning is seen as an ongoing process where individuals self-organize using tools and connections to find and share knowledge.
The world is in a constant state of change. The changes are profoundly affecting every
part of the fabric of our society.
Education is particularly is affected by change, with a
direct impact on the cultures of our schools and universities, and also by projection –
with implications for all our futures.
It is likely that the students we now teach will leave school to enter a world of work
that is radically different to the world with which we are currently familiar.
The evolution of digital media has brought us to an unprecedented point in history
where we are able to connect, create and collaborate in new ways on a global basis.
Knowledge production is burgeoning, to the extent that any fact or statistic is now
openly searchable and available on the Web. Such cultural shifts necessitate new
modes of thinking, new ways of communication and new rules of engagement with
people, content and organisations.
Mobile technologies, handheld devices and social media have combined to create
fertile, anytime-anyplace learning opportunities that are unprecedented. Teachers and
learners are adapting to these new untethered and ubiquitous modes of education,
and in so doing, are discovering an entirely new array of skills which we shall call the
‘digital literacies’. These include the ability to learn across and between multiple and
diverse platforms, the ability to self broadcast to large audiences and the discernment
to select and filter out good and bad content, all achievable within ever changing mediated environments.
What will be the new skills and literacies that teachers and students will need, to
survive and thrive in the digital age? How will assessment of learning change? What
will be the expectations of young learners, and will these differ from what the
institutions can offer? Ultimately, how will teachers prepare students for a world of
work we can no longer clearly describe?
I
n this presentation he will explore these concepts and discuss the future of learning
and teaching in the digital age.
In the mix a critical exploration of blended learning by steve wheelerEADTU
The document provides an overview of the evolution of blended learning from its origins in the 1980s to more recent developments. It discusses early concepts like flexible open learning and the "university of the second chance." More modern approaches integrate face-to-face and online learning, combine synchronous and asynchronous elements, and emphasize learner-led and collaborative models. Recent trends see learners as more self-directed, collaborative, and oriented toward peer-production and networking to build knowledge. The document also examines concepts like connectivism, rhizomatic learning, and paragogy that influence blended approaches.
Digital learning is rapidly evolving. Over the past 30 years it has progressed from multimedia in the 1980s, to the web in the 1990s, to smart mobile devices today. Users now generate vast amounts of user-generated content and share it across social networks from mobile devices. Learners have become more self-directed, collaborative, and oriented toward creating their own content. To fully engage with this digital world, learners will need new literacies like social media use, content creation and curation, identity management, and determining credibility of online information. Education must focus on developing these digital literacies as well as fostering deep, engaged learning.
HOC-Lab (May 2014) - Massive Open Online Courses: What K-12 Educators Need to...Michael Barbour
Barbour, M. K. (2014, May). Massive open online courses: What K-12 educators need to know. An invited convocation address to the Poliresearch Seminar: MOOCs for the Italian School, PoliCultura and EXPO Milan 2015, HOC-LAB, Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy.
The document discusses several pedagogical approaches and issues in online and technology-enabled education:
1) It examines how technology both shapes and is shaped by human interaction, and how this impacts the future of education.
2) Several theorists and their views are mentioned, including Friere's perspective on education empowering self-reflection and Ivan Illich's criticism of universal schooling.
3) The challenges of predicting technological change and its effects on learning are explored through examples from the past that failed to anticipate current realities.
The document discusses personal learning environments (PLEs) and personal learning networks (PLNs). It describes how PLEs are based on Web 2.0 and social software, and allow individuals to organize their own learning. PLNs help with recognizing informal learning and finding resources. As technology advances, online learning has grown significantly with developments like open source applications, increased access, and the idea of the PLE for individually managing one's learning. Some students transition from building their PLE to establishing a professional learning network (PfLN) that overlaps their personal and professional interests for lifelong competency development and knowledge sharing.
The document discusses how the pace of change driven by new technologies has undermined traditional models of knowledge development and dissemination. It notes the exponential growth in internet usage and information sharing. It argues that current education systems need to change to prepare students for an uncertain future, through more personalized, self-organized, and informal learning that leverages new technologies and focuses on developing skills like critical thinking over static knowledge. Learning needs to move beyond the classroom and integrate formal and informal spaces.
Learning for Life: Preparing Learners for the Complexities of the Workplace T...Lisa Marie Blaschke
Today s learners need to be well-prepared for the complex demands of ever-fluctuating, international business environments. To help students contend with this rapid pace of change, our institutions of higher education need to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure their success. But how to achieve this when what we teach learners today can easily change and even be irrelevant tomorrow? Heutagogy provides meaningful, pedagogical guidance for navigating a shifting higher education landscape, as well as a rapidly evolving technological one. This keynote will discuss the barriers that have kept us from implementing heutagogy within higher education in the past and the more recent developments that are causing those barriers to slowly begin slipping away. We will also consider why it is necessary for higher education to adopt forms heutagogical practice in order to prepare students for lifelong learning and the web 2.0 and social media that help us do just that.
Digital Pedagogy: Learning 2.0 is a presentation about how digital technologies are changing learning and education. It discusses how students today are more oriented towards self-directed, collaborative, and peer-based learning using digital tools and social media. The presentation emphasizes that students now need to develop digital literacies and the ability to critically evaluate online information.
The document discusses the future of education and learning in the digital age. It argues that education needs to transform to meet the needs of today's learners by embracing new technologies and more personalized, informal learning approaches. It also explores how social media, mobile devices, and personal learning environments can support lifelong, networked, and collaborative learning. The roles of teachers will shift from content experts to facilitators of learning connections.
The document summarizes the agenda and content covered during the second day of an IFP staff development training at the Learning Development Centre. The day included starting activities, a review of homework, presentations on research-based teaching approaches and the university strategy, and sessions on assessment, feedback, and inclusive teaching. Formats for making materials accessible were demonstrated. Participants provided feedback and evaluations of the training.

This document discusses positive youth justice (PYJ) and the Children First, Offenders Second (CFOS) approach. PYJ moves beyond risk assessment models to a more progressive, principled approach that treats children as children first. The CFOS principles focus on being child-friendly, promoting inclusion, diversion, and relationship-based partnerships. The document highlights examples of PYJ/CFOS in practice in Swansea and Surrey, emphasizing diversion, restorative approaches, and integrating youth services. It argues for a national shift towards prioritizing children's needs over systems, integrating youth justice into children's services, and adopting children-first policing approaches.

This document provides an overview of research methods and key concepts in selecting literature, understanding research designs, and differentiating between quantitative and qualitative research approaches. It discusses that selecting literature requires being organized and adjusting search criteria if there are too few or many texts. It also outlines that understanding research literature requires a basic knowledge of research design, sampling, data collection techniques, and data analysis techniques. Further, it describes quantitative research as objective, relying on measurable hard data and statistics, while qualitative research searches for meanings through words and inductive approaches. Both methods have benefits and a mixed methods or triangulation approach can provide stronger verification.
This presentation was for the workshop: "Everything starts with an e: employability or ‘empowerability’ for the Social Sciences?"

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
