Tips for grabbing and holding attention in online coursesDr Graeme Salter
Just because you put learning material online doesn't mean that students will engage with it (or even view it). This presentation looks at some tips for grabbing and holding attention in online courses.
It is relatively easy to design learning activities that tick the boxes for quality standards. For example, the links all work; active learning elements are included and so on. However, one question that is often neglected is ‘Will the students actually find this learning activity engaging?’. In his book, ‘Brain Rules’, John Medina lists 12 principles for surviving and thriving at work, home, and school. Rule #4 states that ‘We don’t pay attention to boring things’. Unfortunately, there are many examples of online learning that would be considered boring. This presentation will look at tools and techniques for designing engaging and effective online learning experiences.
Suppose, hypothetically, that you suddenly have to teach from home for several weeks. Or rather, several students are suddenly quarantined at home and cannot attend class. It's relatively easy to make the shift to remote teaching if you know a few tips and best practices. In fact, you might even find that teaching remotely has some pedagogies that are near impossible to adopt in a F2F classroom. Our CEO, Maria Andersen, has been using remote teaching and synchronous online teaching for a decade, and will share some tips and best practices for making your remote classes run smoothly.

Ubiquitous Learning: Leveraging the Strengths of Online EducationJean Marrapodi
Holding courses online is no longer a nice-to-have option for higher education. Colleges invest money in a learning management system and expect faculty to start using it. Unfortunately, preparing for the online classroom is very different from the traditional classroom, and many faculty resist the transition. Some resist from fear of change, others from fear of technology, and others because they cannot conceive of online learning being successful. The online environment offers many opportunities that are unavailable to the traditional classroom. In this session we will look at best practices in online learning, and some of the hallmarks of successful MOOCs, which attract tens of thousands of learners worldwide. We will discuss the nuts and bolts of effective online lectures, discussion questions, and assessment activities that allow students to use 21st century tools to demonstrate what they have learned. We will consider the value of peer assessments, rubrics, and group work that leverages collaborative problem solving. Part theory, and part tactical, this session is presented from the trenches of experience, and will allow you to share your successful ideas to embrace the process of knowledge making over knowledge consumption.

What Every Learning Pro Should Know About #NoCodeMike Taylor
What if you could turn your ideas into real projects and build tools for automating work without needing to know how to code? Until recently, the only people who could build things on the internet were a few ambitious people who spent months learning to code before publishing even the most basic website. Today, anyone with a little creativity and access to the internet can use GUI-based (no code) tools quickly and easily to build not only websites but also to create fully-functional custom applications without writing any code. What seemed impossible a few years ago is now a reality: drag, drop and deploy. This session is perfect for those who want to learn how to take advantage of opportunities to adapt and leverage the right technologies at the right time to meet organizational goals.
#NoCode tools allow anyone to create automated workflows between your favorite apps and services to synchronize files, get notifications, collect data, and more. They can boost business productivity to get more done in less time and even create custom apps without needing to write any code. In this session, you’ll discover how, with the help of these #NoCode tools, you can develop, integrate, and automate your important L&D processes quickly and easier than ever before.
In this session, you will learn:

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

That stuff is a great place to start and very necessary but it’s only about the technical aspects. As the saying goes “Just because you have a wrench doesn’t mean you’re a mechanic.” (or a linesman, or operator or anything else.)
To create really great learning there is more to it than just the technical pieces.
Creating great learning content involves other elements such as these. Usability, Visual Communication, Instructional Design, etc.
What it all comes down to is….Design Matters! Graphic, Communication & Learning Design makes the difference between training & learning.
Applying design in conjunction with how people learn….Base everything on proven learning theory. Everything from this point forward is based on proven research including: Cognitive Load (Sweller) (Clark, Mayer & Nguyen)Coherence PrincipleModality PrincipleMultimedia PrincipleContiguity PrincipleRedundancy PrincipleARCS Model (Kellery)First Principles of Instruction (Merrill)Nine Events of Instruction (Gagne)
