Adoption of Blackboard in the ELICOS system: Innovating and Augmenting Qualit...
In 2016 the Centre for English Teaching (CET) launched Blackboard for its university pathway courses (DEC) as part of an initiative to innovate and transform them into high quality blended Academic English language programs that would support students in developing both academic skills and awareness of the technology and systems required to excel during the first semester at university. While LMS use is standard practice in higher education, for the English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) sector the integration of an online platform is still new territory and there is great potential for innovation within teaching and learning practices. Moreover, the unique context allows for a fresh perspective on how Blackboard, at its core, is a dynamic and flexible platform in teaching and learning practices that fosters communities of practice and consolidates traditional educational practices.
The implementation of Blackboard across university pathways courses at CET faced two major hurdles. To begin with, international students were less familiar with the culture and expectations surrounding LMS use at tertiary level and the nature of independent learning. Secondly, teaching staff had varying degrees of proficiency and experience in using technology in the classroom. Dealing with the challenge of educating, immersing and empowering both teachers and students simultaneously in their use of Blackboard as an integrated and powerful tool in teaching and learning raised numerous questions and helped gain valuable insights into adoption and adaption of technology and the opportunity for creative disruption. Grounding innovations in solid pedagogy, integrating technology and independent learning with in-class interaction and making learning objectives clear to both students and teachers enabled the successful uptake of Blackboard and allowed for greater support and autonomy for both teachers and students.

Blackboard not Blackbored: Engaging and enabling students in the Tertiary Ena...
The Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) at Charles Darwin University is a semester long university preparation program for students unable to directly enter undergraduate study. With a cohort consisting of 80% of students studying online, Blackboard plays a central role in engaging and enabling TEP students with the necessary skills and knowledge for undergraduate study. To increase student engagement in TEP, a number of initiatives have been put in place this year designed to maximise the use of interactive digital technologies and changing pedagogies. One of the main drivers for these new initiatives was the analysis of data captured in Blackboard showing that early engagement by students increases their likelihood of successfully completing TEP as well as identifying critical points of engagement during the semester.
To maximise early engagement and prepare students for TEP studies, the first week of study for all new TEP students has been devoted to a new online initiative called TEP Start which is the focus of this presentation. TEP Start was specifically developed for the online learner to improve the student experience, build their confidence and give them the skills to succeed. TEP Start was developed with the expectation that students would engage and interact with the learning materials on Blackboard, thus moving away from the traditional method of ‘content based’ online learning. This online engagement includes classes hosted in Collaborate Ultra, game-based learning activities and short micro-lectures. Hosted on a dedicated Blackboard site, TEP Start was specifically developed using design principles such as colour coding, visual hierarchy, repetition, images, icons in addition to limited text; all to direct the student’s eye to what is important and to influence how they interact with the content.
The initial results of the TEP Start initiative are highly encouraging. The majority of students completed all components of TEP Start and the feedback from students and staff on TEP Start is overwhelmingly positive.
5. course overview and purpose week 1
This course overview document introduces an education technology integration course. It asks students to recall a past example of a teacher using technology and to consider if it was good use. The document also states that the course is not about computer skills, but rather helping students make good decisions about technology integration. Additionally, it notes that technology does not always work and asks what students would do as teachers in that situation.
Reinventing the lecture: how video technology and learning analytics are tran...
This document discusses how video technology and learning analytics can transform the traditional lecture format. It notes that lectures currently have low student engagement and understanding. The solution proposed is to use video recording of lectures along with interactive polling and analytics of student engagement and performance. Several case studies show improved student outcomes like retention, satisfaction, and exam grades when lectures incorporate these active learning elements and analytics provide feedback to students and instructors. The reinvented lecture allows more flexible, personalized learning and better connects pre-lecture preparation to post-lecture activities.
Why is technology needed 2
Technology in education has led to increased test scores in reading, math, and problem-solving skills. To keep up with students and new technologies, teachers must enhance their skills through professional development on tools like interactive whiteboards and tablet PCs. Educators can also collaborate with others using resources from the Flat Classroom Project and social media platforms to share knowledge and ideas. Looking ahead, there are many technology options available to engage students through collaboration, multimedia feedback, creative expression, and vocabulary building.
Teaching experience during pandemic situation
The document summarizes a survey of teachers on their experience with virtual classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey found that most teachers prefer in-person teaching over online teaching and find it challenging to engage students and assess their understanding remotely. However, some teachers felt that online classes were better than no classes during the pandemic. Overall, the analysis concluded that while many teachers were dissatisfied with online learning, it has helped teachers adapt to challenging circumstances.
Liven up the classroom with technology
The document discusses using technology in the classroom to liven up classes for students while also aligning with institutional values of innovation and development. It notes that technology can be used as a tool to give students fun and dynamic classes.
Leadership berry
This document discusses creating an online credit recovery system to allow students to recover credits after failing a grading period report card. It aims to identify the difficulties and usefulness of such a system, as well as obstacles to its success. Most students have computer and internet access at home. The document outlines assignments that could be done online, such as tests and presentations. Students who participated in a trial online credit recovery system found it easier the second time, completed work faster, and preferred taking tests online over in class. Creating such a system requires ensuring student access to technology and teaching basic computer skills. An online approach can be successful with proper resources and allows flexible, self-paced learning without classroom distractions.
Current Issue+audio
Students are increasingly distracted by technology in the classroom and use it more for socializing and games than learning. A survey found that while some students said they used technology for homework, most used it to socialize and play games instead of focusing on their schoolwork. While technology growth in schools is beneficial, what is used in the classroom needs monitoring to ensure it only supports educational purposes and prevents non-academic distractions.

Ip
This document discusses a study that aims to investigate the effect of temperature and concentration on the refractive index of salt solutions. Specifically, it intends to determine the relationships between refractive index and salt concentration and temperature. It also aims to verify the validity of using a diffraction grating method and a locally-made instrument to measure the refractive index of solutions. The study involves preparing salt solutions of different concentrations and measuring their refractive indices at various temperatures using a diffraction grating setup and an Abbe refractometer for comparison.
Ophthalmic prisms
Ophthalmic prisms are used both diagnostically and therapeutically in optometry. A prism is defined as a portion of a refracting medium with two plane surfaces that meet at an angle. When light passes through a prism, it is deviated towards the base according to Snell's law. Prisms can be used to measure eye alignment and fusional reserves. Therapeutically, prisms are used to relieve diplopia and build convergence. Fresnel prisms are thin, flexible prisms often used for temporary treatment. Prism power is measured in prism diopters and may require vector addition for corrections in multiple axes.
Optical Prisms
1. Prisms deviate light towards their apex. The angle of deviation depends on the prism's refracting angle, the light's angle of incidence, and the prism material's refractive index.
2. Prisms form an erect, virtual image that is laterally displaced towards the apex.
3. Ophthalmic prisms are calibrated according to Prentice's position, where the incidence angle is zero, deviating light entirely at the second surface.

ROBOTICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. Robots can take the place of humans in hazardous or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans. Many modern robots are inspired by nature. The history of robots dates back to ancient myths, but modern concepts developed with the Industrial Revolution and introduction of electricity. Today, robots play a widespread role in industrial operations, classified as assembly/finishing products, moving materials/objects, or performing hazardous/difficult tasks. Robots provide quality work and increased production quantities for industries like manufacturing. They are also used in medical applications like surgery and rehabilitation. Household robots may perform tasks like cleaning in the future.

Posts should be original comments explaining ideas from the reading and state a clear thesis. Blogging improves the course by allowing for regular writing practice, collaborative pre-class discussion, formative assessment, and developing students' public voices. The teacher plans to continue blogging next term but vary the activities, expand the blog's audience, and involve outside scholars.
Week 2 blog presentation
The document discusses the relationship between the Tea Party movement and the media in America over the past three months. It examines whether the media uses the Tea Party or vice versa, and how this affects both American politics and public opinion. The document also questions whether the Tea Party movement will continue to influence elections and the media, or if it is just a passing fad. Opinions from various sources are presented on both sides of the debate around whether the Tea Party's momentum and influence will continue or eventually fade.
Fragmentation and gullibility
Fragmented news sources may increase gullibility by providing information without context, making it hard for people to make rational judgments. Some factors that could contribute include an uneducated population seeking entertainment over facts, and 24-hour news media prioritizing profits over truth. However, others argue that people today are not necessarily more gullible, and that absurd claims have existed throughout history. The real danger of news fragmentation may be increased perceptions of misinformation and avoidance of news altogether.
Power point and public speaking
The document discusses using PowerPoint effectively for oral presentations and speeches. It provides guidelines for optimizing PowerPoint slides for public speaking, including keeping slides brief and focused on the presenter, using visuals like images and charts instead of extensive text, and avoiding distracting special effects. The document also summarizes criticisms of overusing PowerPoint from author Edward Tufte's book The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint.
Mastering Bb 9.1
The document provides an overview of changes to the user interface and functionality in Blackboard 9.1 compared to previous versions. Some key changes include a new course menu layout with improved organization and customization options for menu items. The control panel is now below the course menu instead of in settings. Content and tools can be added directly from the course menu instead of through specific areas. Assessments are now grouped under a new assessments heading rather than in other areas.
De facing power
Power can be seen as either limiting the freedoms of others or defining the boundaries of what is socially possible for all. Hayward argues that power establishes boundaries that delimit everyone's field of action by making some forms of conduct, speech, belief, reason, and desire possible, impossible, probable or improbable. True freedom is having the social capacity to act upon and challenge the boundaries that define one's own field of action, rather than allowing others to define it for you. The central question is how the boundaries established by power mechanisms create different fields of action in two communities.
Digital storytelling
Digital storytelling uses multimedia like images and audio to tell short personal stories. It taps into the human need for narrative and making sense of the world. The document introduces digital storytelling and the VoiceThread platform, and provides a case study of its use by students in a Macbeth project where each student interpreted scenes through different types of images.
Teaching well using technology tli2009
The document outlines a 7-step process for choosing technology to support teaching and learning goals: 1) articulate learning goals, 2) identify best teaching strategies, 3) plan assessments, 4) consider times and spaces for learning, 5) understand what technology can and cannot do, 6) sequence learning and choose tools, and 7) implement and evaluate. It provides examples and guidance for each step, emphasizing using technology to enhance pedagogy rather than replacing it. The goal is to thoughtfully integrate tools that actively engage students in achieving defined course objectives.
Copyright Or Wrong Summer09
This document discusses how changing digital copyright laws affect schools. It covers the concept of fair use, which considers the purpose, nature, amount, and market effect of using copyrighted work. The document also discusses how the Internet and technologies like photocopiers make copying copyrighted content easier. Laws like the DMCA and TEACH Act were implemented to provide copyright exceptions for education purposes, but educators still need to be careful about posting full copyrighted content online or for longer than necessary for a lesson.
Collaborative Projects Using Wikis
This document discusses using wikis for collaborative projects in schools. It introduces wikis and provides examples of their use, including for collaborative research projects and papers where students can work together online. Guidelines are presented for setting up wiki projects and grading collaborative work. Plans for expanding wiki use and questions from attendees are also addressed.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
