In Argentina, LA PUNTA University implemented SAKAI with 2500 kids (K12). It is an experience of the one-to-one models, which aims at giving every school kid a netbook. Results show significant improvements in the areas of knowledge evaluated.
Try before you buy?: The changing nature of internships in journalismJanet Fulton
Traditionally, journalism internships have provided employers with a “try before you buy” approach, and studies have shown that, in the past, an internship has provided a pathway into permanent employment. Furthermore, it can also be demonstrated that journalists have found their own internships a valuable experience and provide practical, work-ready skills for navigating the social structure of journalism. Anecdotally, it has been noted by the authors that internships increase students maturity, confidence and leadership skills. Forde and Meadows (2011) found that journalism internship programs, if run with a solid pedagogical foundation, enhance student learning.
The issue of unpaid internships in the media has been in the news again over the last twelve months. Fair Work Australia’s report Experience or Exploitation, released in January 2013, found the media industry to be among the highest in unpaid internships, including print and broadcast journalism, and public relations. In June, 2013, the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) released a statement saying the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) had agreed to work with the MEAA to ensure “unpaid work arrangements throughout the media industry - including unpaid internships for young people - are fair and lawful” (MEAA, 2013). Internationally, similar concerns around internships are unravelling. In the UK, Labour MP Hazel Belars described the growth of unpaid roles ‘a modern day scandal’ and introduced the Internships (Advertising and Regulation) Bill. Part of the attention around the bill resulted from a 2011 FOI request that showed the BBC had used 6000 unpaid interns in the previous four years.
Ongoing, secure employment is increasingly difficult to get in some parts of the media industry and the authors have noted, anecdotally, that organisations seem to be taking advantage of students who are desperate to work in the industry. Many students in journalism programs still want to work for mainstream media organisations and are willing to spend time during their education working in an unpaid capacity. The FWA report surveyed students from the University of Technology Sydney to discover how journalism students viewed internships. However, UTS is a metropolitan university and its students may have a different experience of university than students in other areas. The University of Newcastle (UoN) is a regional university in a one university city and the communication discipline has strong industry ties in the region. Would the internship experience of UoN students differ from the students at UTS?
This paper is based on a survey conducted with students enrolled in the Bachelor of Communication at the University of Newcastle and will discuss internships, focusing on journalism and including recent issues that have been identified, and analyse the Newcastle experience within this context.
USE OF SOCRATIVE AS A TEACHING TOOL IN ANATOMY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMICIJITE
On March 13th, 2020, in the middle of Semester 2, University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona announced
the suspension of classes for one month due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within days most of the first- and
second-year medical students were back in their homes around the Caribbean. Resumption of online
teaching was scheduled for April 14th, 2020. This lecturer had been using a free online student response
system (SRS) called Socrative to set quizzes for his small Lab tutorial group since 2016 and decided to
upgrade to Socrative Pro which had multiple classrooms to set teaching quizzes for first- and second-year
medical students. At the end of the semester (2020.S2) a survey was done of 86 second-year medical
students. The overwhelmingly positive response of these students to these quizzes led to improvements and
continuation of these quizzes.

The purpose of the study was to assess the ICT support for the students living with disabilities at The
University of Namibia. A qualitative methodology was used through the use of an in-depth face to face in
interview which was administered to 12 participants who were lectures and disabled students from the
University of Namibia disability Unity. The participants in the study were selected through the use of the
purposeful strategy. The study findings unveiled that PCs cell phones and internet, software programmes,
projectors and white boards, classroom televisions and radios downloaded app videos and braille’s and
hearing aids are some of the ICT equipment available for the students at living with disabilities at the
University of Namibia. The study also established that lack of training in administrators, lecturers and
disabled student who are in the disability unity of the University of Namibia in ICT equipment usage, lack
of technical support from the University, lack of ICT resources, lectures low content knowledge and limited
computer knowledge of the lectures for students living with disabilities are some of the challenges faced by
students living with disabilities at the University of Namibia. The study also found out that there is need for
management collaboration and support ICT resources for students living with disabilities. The study also
revealed that the provision of incentives to the lecturers teaching students with disabilities will improve the
lectures utilisation of ICT gadgets during the teaching of students living with disabilities at the University
of Namibia. In addition, the study also recommended that monitoring and evaluation of the ICT support for
the students living with disability need to be strengthened at the University of Namibia. Furthermore, the
study also recommended that there should be collaboration between the various educational stakeholders
in the provision of ICT support to students living with disabilities at the University of Namibia.

In pursuit of simplicity – UX Romandie 2015Zoltan Gocza
Simplicity is the rallying cry that unites designers. We now live in the era of flat design, minimal interfaces, hamburger menus, and doppelganger websites. When we thought the three-click rule was dead, comes the two-tap rule.
But should simplicity be the ultimate goal? Design decisions aiming for reduction often introduce more friction and cognitive load, leading to a more complex user experience. Simple-looking products often carry hidden complexity. Simplicity can easily be a “neat, plausible, and wrong” solution to a problem.
Let's dive into the idea of simplicity and dissect it. Let’s have a look at what simplicity really means, whether it's really what people want, and how on Earth do we end up having complicated products.
Throughout the functionality SIS, it is possible to manage the data corresponding to the students, teachers, institutions as well as the assignations of teachers and students to the different grades of the school. This modules allows us to register a teacher, his/her personal information and training courses, awards, studies, etc. In the same way as Teachers, the tool students allows us to register a students, his medical history and the data of his/ her parents and/ or tutors. As for the integration with Sakai, it allows us to automatically generate a user for each registered student. In the same way as Teachers and Students, the tool Institutions allows us to register institutions inside the platform. Several functions will be presented to manage this issues integrated to Sakai.

1st International Workshop on Technology-Enhanced Assessment, Analytics and Feedback (TEAAF2014)
ow-a-days data volumes are growing rapidly in several domains. Many factors have contributed to this growth, including inter alia proliferation of observational devices, miniaturization of various sensors ,improved logging and tracking of systems, and improvements in the quality and capacity of both disk storage and networks .Analyzing such data provides insights that can be used to guide decision making. To be effective, analysis must be timely and cope with data scales. The scale of the data and the rates at which they arrive make manual inspection infeasible. As an educational management tool, predictive analytics can help and improve the quality of education by letting decision makers address critical issues such as enrollment management and curriculum Development. This paper presents an analytical study of this approach’s prospects for education planning. The goals of predictive analytics are to produce relevant information, actionable insight, better outcomes, and smarter decisions, and to predict future events by analyzing the volume, veracity, velocity, variety, value of large amounts of data and interactive exploration.

Staying competitive in the IT field
is a challenge. The use of IT certification programs
involves a number of critical issues and implications
for higher educational institutions (HEIs), educators,
administrators, students, and the IT industry. Hence,
there is a compelling need to gather and share IT
certification program data to chart a comparative
analysis across HEIs that are using certification
programs. This study presents a summary of key
findings among the Bachelor of Science in Computer
Science (BSCS) students in the Lyceum of the
Philippines University Batangas’ performance and
satisfaction level in Computer Networking 1, the
first course in the four-course certification program.It
used the descriptive method of research. Respondents
of the study were the 71 BSCS second year students
who took the course during the Second Semester
of SY 2009-2010. Frequency distribution, Pearson R
and weighted mean were used for data analysis. The
performance and satisfactory level the students gave to learning performance in Computer Networking
1 addresses their learning experiences and was an
evidence of the pedagogical richness of the program
and the contribution of the Computer Networking 1
teacher. In conclusion, the course actively engaged the
students and a clear understanding of the subject were
achieved.
Predicting students’ intention to continue business courses on online platfor...Samsul Alam
The objective of this study was to analyze the intention of a University's business department students to continue their studies on e-learning platforms during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, a questionnaire was developed to collect primary data from students in business fields. The study took into account more than 285 respondents from two different universities and relied on the expectation confirmation model (ECM) theory and the structural equation model. The partial least squares (SEM-PLS) method was used to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that task skills (TS) and task challenges (TC) were significant for the enjoyment (EN) of the students which in turn had a positive effect on the satisfaction levels. Confirmation (CON) had an impact on the post adoption perceived usefulness (PAPU), which was deemed positive for student satisfaction (SAT). The SAT and psychological safety (PS) of online learning platforms were found to positively influence the continuance intention (CI) on e-learning platforms. Finally, both SAT and PS of online learning platforms were observed to positively influence CI on e-learning platforms. Further research in this area could be useful in making decisions about promoting educational programs based on e-learning. The researchers recommend that academicians and policymakers must ensure appropriate arrangements for teaching on e-learning platforms.
Developing Computational Thinking Practises through Digital Fabrication Activ...Jari Laru
This paper presents a study of developing computational thinking (CT) practices through digital fabrication activities, such as creating tangible artefacts with digital tools. The aim of the study was to explore the potential of digital fabrication activities for developing CT practices. We investigated three cases of school visits where the students engaged in digital fabrication activities in Fab Lab Oulu, northern Finland. Based on the perspectives of the teachers who participated in the activities and facilitators who ran the activities, we identified that digital fabrication activities have the potential to develop CT practices, especially formulating problems in order to use a computer for assistance, thinking logically, and implementing possible solutions efficiently and effectively. The findings suggested that the nature of digital fabrication activities, such as frequent use of computers and complex problem-solving, encouraged development of CT practices. However, we also uncovered the possibility that CT is not being adequately defined by the teachers and facilitators.

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.

• An initiative within the
province’s digital agenda
• An experience of the one-to-one
model, giving every school kid a
netbook
• The purpose: measuring if ICT
improves their performance at
school
• Main activity: Test and measure
in different moments the kids’
performance
• Size: This is a pilot project
managed by Universidad de la
Punta (www.ulp.edu.ar) , and
included 30 elementary school,
100 teachers, and 2.500
students. Next: 10.000 students.

10. Main Objectives
• To include students,
teachers, and the community
in general in the digital world
of the knowledge society
• To improve students'
learning skills
• To expand the ICT’s use at
schools, promoting digital
literacy through meaningful
learning experience
• To evaluate the inclusion of
technologies like SAKAI

11. Methodology
• Three groups (1st to 6th
grades) of different
elementary school
• In the first group:
• Each student with a
netbook (classmate from
Intel with SAKAI and Aula 1 a
1)
• All school have broadband
internet access
• Wi-fi access has been
provided so that kids can
also have online access at
home

12. Methodology
• In the second group:
• Each student received
the school support
software, and all call
center access have been
improved, so they can
access to the same
resources
• In the third group:
• This group was evaluated
without no additional
support
July 2009 10th Sakai Conference - Boston, MA, U.S.A. 12
13. Evaluation indicators
• Assessment tests on language
and mathematics.
• Tests will be taken periodically to
all students in the participating
schools of the three groups
under study, in order to evaluate
the progressive influence of the
project on students’ learning
performance.
• Types and level of technology
used by both teachers and
students. Intensity and diversity
in the use of PCs (information
search, text production, software
use, etc.)
• Management of technological
resources and institutional
relations.

14. The Project’s Positive Impact in the Classrooms
• Teachers and classrooms showed
positive impact
• The incorporation of new technologies
has not been unnoticed in the daily
work, and machines can actually be
‘seen’ in the classrooms
• A lot of support has been given to the
plan of implementing new technologies
in the classrooms, though, of course,
with certain caution.
• Teachers and school principals have
acknowledged the importance of
facilitating students’ access to new
technologies.
• When asked about how technologies
are being used, most of them answer
that ‘we are still experiencing’ and ‘we
hope next year to start better.’ These
answers show their expectations and
positive attitudes, despite the
challenges these new technologies
present.

15. Improvements in Students’ Learning Performances
• Students were assessed through two
standard tests on language and
mathematics in order to identify
improvements in their learning
performances.
• In this first report, focus has been
given to results of the first and
second tests so that outcomes can
be compared, and improvements
after three months can be
appreciated.
• Results demonstrate significant
improvements in both areas of
knowledge evaluated and in 3rd and
6th grade students. Beyond the
reasons for these improvements,
test results show a clear tendency in
the few months the program has
been implemented.

16. Comparative results in the 6th grades
The following charts shows that improvements were significant in both subjects
Results of the language and mathematics tests in The percentages of correct answers obtained in the
6th grade also show improvements in both different tests by 3rd and 6th grade students
subjects, being those in language the most of each type of school are analyzed in the following
noticeable. tables

17. Results in 3rd grades
Although these three groups were
taken into account for the
analysis of the results, it is worth
pointing out that within the
saturation group there are
schools, therefore students, that
have had the equipments since
August, that is to say three
months before the assessment,
while other schools were
given the devices only three or
four weeks before the tests.
Considering this time difference in
the implementation of the
project, the possible incidence of
the availability of equipments
is so uneven.

18. Next Step: Intelligent Schools
• The core element in this
proposal will be a quality
contract with schools
• Commitment to apply a
mechanism to evaluate
students’ learning,
• Participation in refresher
programs for teachers and
principals organized by the ULP,
• Participation of students in
Olympiads and other activities
of the University,
• And participation of teachers
and principals in forums about
school quality improvements.

21. Our Sakai Software Dev. Team
• Going from Matrix to
Democratic or
Open structured teams
• Group owns the documents & code
(not individuals)
• All decisions are based on team
consensus
Why are democratic teams often favored • Depends on total cooperation of its
in Extreme Programming process? members
• Requires clear structure for the way
the team interacts
• Functional roles (e.g. moderator,
recorder) rotate among team
members
• A technical leader has external
responsibility and resolves issues
when team doesn’t reach consensus
• It is the best organizations to
contributes to Sakai’s community

22. RED Group
(Digital Educational Resources from ULP)
• 10 high skill teacher in lengua,
maths, social
• Found and research creative web
tools for and by Kids, to use
emerging technologies for
engaging, thinking, learning,
collaborating, creating, and
innovating.
• The focus is on the use of free,
open-source, or minimal cost tools,
so the project can be replicated.
• An underlying goal is to
demonstrate how advanced
technological applications for
enhancing learning can be
implemented with only a computer
and Internet access.

• Learn, learn and learn!
• Adapt to 7” screen
• Join to TRAMIX (and
educational resource
planning)
• Modify some
functionalities to apply
specific customer’s
requirement
• Fix some bugs
• Translate some pieces

24. Deployment Architecture
• We size a deployment for the
following system qualities:
• Performance
• Security
• Availability
• Serviceability
• This design includes the following
advantages:
• Added performance if a single server
fails
• Availability even when more than
one server is down
• Servers can be rotated out of service
for maintenance and upgrades
• Multiple low-end servers typically
cost less than a single high-end
server

26. We take this Best Practices
with SAKAI K12 online
• Visibility- Online instructors must be “visible” to their
students. Teacher presence, tone, and involvement is the
largest factor in building an online learning community.
• What works in the face-to-face classroom works in the online
classroom, it just is represented differently. (Ice breakers,
debates, group work, clubs, field trips, birthdays, …)
• Email is the primary form of contact between teacher and
theirs students so use it effectively.
• Effective Feedback
• There should be at least one discussion board (forum) per
unit. Students and teachers post and reply to each other.
• Evaluate, evaluate, and evaluate…

27. Contribution to Sakai’s Community
• We hope very soon contributing to the community
code base :
• a) every issue that Unitech founds and resolves
• b) all issues resolved from our clients experiencing
problems
• c) and all new functionality that Unitech develops, like
tools, or platform support, or enhancements to existing
functionality
• Translating to Spanish with the special vocabulary in
education in Argentina, helping to create a South
American Spanish version
• Hosting events and several promotion activities in
Argentina (may be Sakai Conference 2011?)
