Feb 11 2014 MultiMOOC and ICT4ELT EVO sessions joint event - Once a Webhead a...Vance Stevens
Becoming a Webhead is not offered as an EVO session for the first time in ten years, but its moderators have created an alternative EVO session to follow on the collaborative spirit of BaW - ICT4ELT at http://ict4elt2014.pbworks.com. Now that BaW is no longer being offered, its moderators think it important to introduce ICT4ELT participants to the Webheads <http: />, so they have invited Vance Stevens to join them in a live session in Week 5. This would be also an opportunity for ICT4ELT to get to know Learning2gether, at which, says Jose Antonio Da Silva, "there is always someone presenting something very interesting every weekend."
This presentation was created for a Walden University master's course. The content relates to online learning management systems (LMS) and the benefits they have.
I present the idea of Social Semantic Information Sources (SSIS) and make a review of SSIS. I point out how important role SSIS play in e-Learning (informal sources of knowledge). I present a new idea of Learning Management System that derives from formal and informal sources of information.
This presentation presents the results of a survey of 140 Higher Education students which was carried out during May 2009. The students were asked about their online browsing habits, with a view to establishing which popular services could be adapted for use within education.

Flat Students - Flat Learning - Global UnderstandingJulie Lindsay
Many educators are now joining themselves, their students and schools to others across the globe. We all know that global collaboration, the sort that includes full connectivity and collaboration that leads to co-creation of artifacts and actions is not easy and takes time to plan, implement and manage. However, let’s think out of the box even further and start to promote and support independent student learning at the Middle and High School levels. Once the teacher is not the gateway (or the barrier) to global learning, then what?
The ‘flat’ student has a PLN and PLC’s to connect with at anytime. The ‘flat’ student can learn (connect, collaborate, co-create, take action) anywhere at anytime without constraints.
Join Julie as she explores this concept and practice of independent ‘flat’ student learning for global understanding and collaborative actions. Flat Connections projects will be featured as well as the new ‘Learning Collaboratives’ to start in 2015. If you want to take your global learning to a higher level, this is the session to attend!

Student autonomy for flat learning and global collaborationJulie Lindsay
The focus of this presentation is on developing student autonomy to build learning networks and communities of practice for collaboration, both local and global. We talk about the teacher as a connected and collaborative global learner, but we need to redesign the learning paradigm further to connect students in K-12 more independently with others. The role of the teacher as activator or ‘learning concierge’ for student network building is crucial. Knowledge construction via a non-hierarchical approach means the student must also learn to take responsibility for professional learning modes and not be reliant on the teacher as the conduit.
Join Julie to explore new ideas for collaborative learning to support deeper understanding about the world while working with the world.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This was the last time the word “revolution” and “knowledge” were used in the same context. For the most part, we have been retrieving knowledge in the exact same manner ever since the advent of Guttenburg printing press.
Consider…
If a surgeon from the 18th were to walk into a modern-day OR, would he be able to perform any procedure?
Not likely… what we know about the human body, how we have come to learn about the human body and the ways in which we treat the human body have all evolved.
If a teacher from the 18th were to walk into a modern day classroom, would she still be able to teach?
Probably… Have our methods really changed? Sure, some of the information is different, but that’s nothing a little bit of extra reading and research can’t fix.
The nature of knowledge is changing.
it is no longer constant
it is not static
it is evolving
constantly being constructed, deconstructed and reconstructed
