This document discusses a research study that aims to use social media tools to foster participatory engagement with building users to increase environmental citizenship and reduce energy consumption. The researchers hypothesize that a participatory approach using social media can enhance environmental values in individuals and lead them to reduce their energy use. The study will measure baseline environmental and energy behaviors, conduct a social media campaign using participatory methods, and track changes in social media interactions, energy consumption, and environmental citizenship after the intervention. The goal is to test if participation leads to increased green values and behaviors around energy reduction.

This article discusses using an action research and community problem-solving (AR&CPS) approach to environmental education at Pistons Middle School in Detroit, Michigan. The key points are:
1) AR&CPS is a model that engages students in identifying an environmental issue in their community, developing a plan to address it, taking action, and evaluating the results in an iterative process. This gives students responsibility over their education and connects learning to real-world problems.
2) Implementing AR&CPS at Pistons Middle School presented challenges as outside facilitators initiated the project. Gaining trust from the school community required immersing oneself in the school and neighborhood contexts.
3)
OER as a Model for Enhanced Teaching and Learning
This document summarizes a research study that examined how participation in an open educational resources (OER) training network for teachers impacted pedagogy. Key findings included:
1) The OER network facilitated knowledge sharing between teachers as they collaborated, discussed challenges and ideas, and shared lessons and resources.
2) Participation in the network reduced isolation and supported multidisciplinary work between teachers.
3) Access to OER provided teachers with adaptable lessons and best practices that they could incorporate into their own teaching.

This meta-analysis examined 15 studies on collaborative online learning. The studies were selected based on their relevance to the theme and analyzed to synthesize their findings. The analysis found that collaborative online learning is most effective when students establish relationships, receive timely feedback, and have responsibility in their learning. For collaborative learning to succeed, participants must support each other and there needs to be structure, accountability, and continued research in the field.

This document discusses a research project exploring communities of practice around information literacy among faculty at York St. John University. The research aims to understand differing conceptions of information literacy, establish if critical approaches are already part of teaching practices, examine how faculty experience and evaluate information literacy, and create a platform for information literacy dialogue. It reviews relevant literature on communities of practice and social learning approaches. Initial pilot interviews provided evidence that faculty have information literacy concerns and values embedded in their teaching, with one faculty more aligned with emerging critical approaches and one with traditional skills models.

Deconstructing the social learning discourse
Romina Rodela presented on current trends in the social learning discourse for natural resource management. Social learning is conceptualized in different ways in the literature. Rodela analyzed over 100 publications and identified three main approaches: individual-centric, network-centric, and socio-centric. While research shares reasons for adopting social learning, there are differences in how it is operationalized. Key issues include a lack of empirical data, limited understanding of learning processes, and a need to reflect on knowledge production and research methods to better understand social learning.

Summary
Capacities to drive collective learning, address jointly complex practical challenges and create innovative solutions are seen essential for future graduates. How to prepare students to lead complex collaborative learning, change and innovation projects? How to assist them to develop knowledge and skills needed for resourceful teamwork with other people who have different expertises, experiences, and interests?
Systems, Change and Learning is a blended graduate course in the Maters of the Learning Sciences and Technology program that aims to develop students’ capacities to lead complex organisational learning and educational innovation projects. Rooted in systems theories, cybernetics and the learning sciences, this course: 1) introduces students to the theoretical approaches and methods for understanding complexity, facilitating individual learning and managing change, and 2) provides them with practical experiences to engage in systems inquiry and collaborative innovation design projects.
The course draws on the second-order pedagogy and grants students’ agency to design not only the innovation, but also their own learning and innovation process and environment. Students choose complex real life organisational learning or educational change challenges and, over the course of the semester, work in small innovation teams by analysing an encountered problematical situation, modelling possible scenarios and developing innovative solutions. As a result, each team creates a practical guide for Change and Innovation Managers who will be tasked with implementing the proposed innovation in an organisational setting.
The main emphasis is on fostering expansive learning and deliberative innovation culture trough cultivating systems thinking, design practice and responsive action. Through engaging in systemic inquiry, innovation design tasks and authentic teamwork, students develop a number of graduate attributes that are critical for joint learning and knowledge-informed, responsive action in modern workplaces, such as analytical and integrative thinking, effective teamwork, multidisciplinary and intercultural competencies.
Evaluations show that this course promotes deep student engagement and brings about transformative learning experiences. It is now offered as an elective in two other interdisciplinary masters programs.
Prof_Ed-2-Lesson-5-Ecological-Literacy.pptx
The document defines ecological literacy as understanding one's place in the ecosystem and discusses its key aspects. Ecological literacy requires shifts in perception, knowledge, and actions. It emphasizes seeing subjects as integrated relationships rather than isolated units, and understanding qualities and processes over quantities and structures. The goal is to develop people who are inquisitive, reflective, self-directed, responsible, and seek to transcend personal interests for the broader environment.

In this paper we examine the Community of Inquiry framework (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000)
suggesting that the model may be enhanced through a fuller articulation of the roles of online learners.
We present the results of a study of 3165 students in online and hybrid courses from 42 two- and four-
year institutions in which we examine the relationship between learner self-efficacy measures and their
ratings of the quality of their learning in virtual environments. We conclude that a positive relationship
exists between elements of the CoI framework and between elements of a nascent theoretical construct
that we label “learning presence”. We suggest that learning presence represents elements such as self-
efficacy as well as other cognitive, behavioral, and motivational constructs supportive of online learner
self-regulation. We suggest that this focused analysis on the active roles of online learners may contribute
to a more thorough account of knowledge construction in technology-mediated environments
expanding the descriptive and explanatory power of the Community of Inquiry framework. Learning

Inquiry in Online and Blended Learning Environments.

1. Introduction
Online education continues to grow and is playing and increasingly significant role in US higher education. Recent research indicates that
more 4 million higher education learners, i.e. 25% of all college students, are enrolled in at least one online course (Allen & Seaman, 2010)
This represents an increase of more than 100% from just four years ago. In addition to this rapid growth, research is beginning to emerge
indicating that online education has transcended the “no significant difference” phenomena. For more than a decade the accepted wisdom
has been that online education and its predecessor, “distance learning” resulted in no significant difference relative to learning outcomes
achieved through classroom ins.

This document discusses responsible research and innovation (RRI) and science education. It examines using open educational resources (OER) and massive open online courses (MOOCs) to foster teacher communities of practice for discussing RRI. The ENGAGE project aims to build teacher pedagogical knowledge through MOOCs, a community of practice for discussing science and society issues, and OER with dilemmas and scenario-based projects to engage students in developing inquiry and argumentation skills. Initial outcomes include identification of teaching strategies and evidence of student achievement, though low teacher commentary was a challenge.

In this paper we examine the Community of Inquiry framework (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000)
suggesting that the model may be enhanced through a fuller articulation of the roles of online learners.
We present the results of a study of 3165 students in online and hybrid courses from 42 two- and four-
year institutions in which we examine the relationship between learner self-efficacy measures and their
ratings of the quality of their learning in virtual environments. We conclude that a positive relationship
exists between elements of the CoI framework and between elements of a nascent theoretical construct
that we label “learning presence”. We suggest that learning presence represents elements such as self-
efficacy as well as other cognitive, behavioral, and motivational constructs supportive of online learner
self-regulation. We suggest that this focused analysis on the active roles of online learners may contribute
to a more thorough account of knowledge construction in technology-mediated environments
expanding the descriptive and explanatory power of the Community of Inquiry framework. Learning
presence: Towards a Theory of Self-efficacy, Self-regulation, and the Development of a Communities of
Inquiry in Online and Blended Learning Environments.

1. Introduction
Online education continues to grow and is playing and increasingly significant role in US higher education. Recent research indicates that
more 4 million higher education learners, i.e. 25% of all college students, are enrolled in at least one online course (Allen & Seaman, 2010)
This represents an increase of more than 100% from just four years ago. In addition to this rapid growth, research is beginning to emerge
indicating that online education has transcended the “no significant difference” phenomena. For more than a decade the accepted wisdom
has been that online education and its predecessor, “distance learning” resulted in no significant difference relative to learning outcomes
achieved through classroom ins.
Engage hub poster
This document discusses responsible research and innovation (RRI) and science education. It examines using open educational resources (OER) and massive open online courses (MOOCs) to foster teacher communities of practice for discussing RRI. The ENGAGE project aims to build teacher pedagogical knowledge through MOOCs, a community of practice for discussing science and society issues, and OER with dilemmas and scenario-based projects to engage students in developing inquiry and argumentation skills. Initial outcomes include identification of teaching strategies and evidence of student achievement, though low teacher commentary was a challenge.

The document outlines a framework for integrating disciplines and knowledge systems for biodiversity conservation in Australia's tropical forests. It discusses three key issues in developing a systematic framework: the different types of engagement between disciplines/society, differences in philosophy/theory/methods, and the perceptual gaps this can create. It proposes a two-step approach: 1) Matching tools like models, scenarios to different levels of integration from data to philosophy. 2) Prioritizing tools based on the research challenge and level of integration needed like deep dialogic tools for issues requiring transdisciplinary work. The framework is aimed at achieving significant knowledge transformation through more integrated approaches.
Longitudinal fieldwork-based research projects
This document summarizes a longitudinal research project involving students collecting ecological data from ponds and rivers located in a university botanical garden. The project aims to have students practice basic environmental data collection techniques and make recommendations to restore the ponds' natural habitats. Students collect field data using mobile devices and tools to measure variables like dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, conductivity and turbidity. The project aims to teach students about ecosystem functioning while also contributing to long-term citizen science-style research. It also explores how outdoor learning can foster nature connection and positively impact students' attitudes, empathy and well-being.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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.
