The document discusses the challenges of improving educational outcomes at scale. It introduces the concept of networked improvement communities, which bring together experts and practitioners to test solutions using an improvement science approach. The document provides an example of one such community focused on increasing math completion rates. Their work included analyzing the system factors contributing to low pass rates, developing an integrated 1-year math pathway, and organizing their hypotheses into a driver diagram to guide testing changes.
Continuous Embedded Learning - Assocation for Talent Development 2018Darrin Murriner
An overview of where embedded continuous learning is going in a corporate environment. This presentation was made at the Greater Cincinnati chapter of ATD in October 2018
The document discusses the scalability of sustainability efforts at universities. It addresses two central questions: what scalability means in the university context, and what actions universities can take to accelerate or scale up their sustainability activities. Some key points made in the document include: not all sustainability efforts can be scaled up; scaling involves replicating successes while improving; hands-on learning cannot be easily scaled but engagement needs face-to-face interaction; and universities can scale up by targeted analysis of sustainability solutions, facilitating stakeholder-driven processes, and demonstrating sustainability best practices.
The document discusses the development and evaluation of a pedagogical model for an open university in Nepal. It outlines the presentation given at a conference on using internet and mobile technologies for development. The presentation addressed issues with power outages, IT skills gaps, and the need for face-to-face assistance. It also proposed a process for participants that included interviews, registration, completing an online course, surveys, and follow up interviews to evaluate how many would complete the full process. The conclusion suggested either continuing the current approach or switching to case studies and offering courses in Eastern Nepal with changes to improve success rates.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Open Colleges at the DataWorks Summit Sydney 2017 about using machine learning and data to improve education. It introduces the speakers and describes Open Colleges' goals of using data to enroll students in the most suitable courses and provide personalized support at scale. It also discusses challenges around student insights, engagement metrics, and Open Colleges' data-driven culture.
Open Colleges is one of Australia's oldest and largest providers of online learning. For over 100 years we have been helping people improve their lives through learning. Being an online education organisation, we depend heavily on technology to provide an engaging learning experience for students and a smarter teaching experience for educators. Having over 60,000 concurrent students, all progressing asynchronously has resulted with every student being unique and having different learning patterns and behaviours. This introduces a variety of challenges for our educators and support staff.
Introducing Machine learning & Artificial intelligence into our business is the practical & efficient approach to deal with these challenges at scale. The use cases range from nurturing prospecting students in their course selection; identifying students in need to intervene proactively; Understanding behaviours to drive motivation and engagement; and analysing learning patters to improve quality of courses and services.
In this presentation we’ll talk about how we have addressed these use cases through leveraging scalable machine learning services and suitable big data ecosystem.

The document discusses solutions to help recent graduates transition from school to work. It outlines various parameters to consider for solutions, such as obvious solutions, modifications, solutions if budget or laws of nature weren't limited. The best ideas discussed are changing course structure to include more practical training, providing simulation training of organizations during academics to prepare students, and time management training since recent graduates struggle balancing personal and professional life. The major problem is students feeling pressure when joining organizations due to differences between academic and work culture, so solutions aim to expose students to organizational rules and expectations while in school.

This document discusses a technology-based math curriculum that incorporates real-world applications. It outlines four common theoretical themes of the curriculum: 1) using real-world problems, 2) encouraging group work, 3) creating a safe learning environment, and 4) providing practice opportunities. Each theme is then further explained in terms of how it can improve learning. The document also discusses challenges in applying these theories in practice and findings from a quasi-experimental study on the impact of the curriculum.
From Study Programming to Curriculum Thinking (And Back)Timo Nevalainen
The document discusses moving from a focus on programming in education to curriculum thinking and designing for learning. It argues that teaching tasks involving direct control by teachers should be automated, freeing teachers to focus on education and guiding learning. An ideal learning system would involve tasks like grading happening automatically based on the learning design. The learning design specifies learning activities and is informed by educational research, with the goal of assisting and guiding the learning process. Curriculum thinking focuses on complex problems and long-term goals, providing a basis for the learning design and guiding technology choices to support education goals.

This document outlines the learning dimension of an approach to improving project management performance. It describes a project manager development program that includes workshops, learning labs, tutorials, assignments, and assessments over a 10 month period. The program utilizes collaborative and reflective learning approaches such as case studies, simulations, and quizzes. Feedback from participants indicated increased confidence and learning benefits. The program aims to help project managers gain appreciation of issues, implement and test approaches, and reflect and iterate on their learning.
The document discusses potential ideas for how a small career development center team with limited resources could provide career support services to 6,000 students. One idea is to develop intermediate layers of service delivery by training selected students to provide services under the guidance of specialists. A second idea is to collaborate with other universities to share an online platform and resources while still providing personalized local services. Feedback on the ideas was positive and suggested further exploring scenarios and informal discussions with other universities. Reflections note the importance of an open and dynamic process to discover the best solution over time through stakeholder engagement and feedback.

Anne Nortcliffe Are we ready for smart device learning surveyAndrew Middleton
This document discusses a survey of staff and students at Sheffield Hallam University on their use of smart devices. It finds that while most staff and students use their devices for tasks like email, calendars, and note-taking, there are still inhibitors to fully integrating smart devices into academic life. Both students and staff cited issues like network connectivity and limitations of apps and websites as challenges. The document concludes that while staff are open to classroom use of smart devices and students use them to supplement learning, digital literacy varies and universities need to address infrastructure and app development to better support smart learning.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on building coaching capacity for technology integration. It discusses establishing a coaching mindset, exploring the ISTE standards for coaches, and designing a plan to approach interactions from this mindset. The presentation defines coaching as facilitating new possibilities rather than fixing people, and explores activities like listening without judgment to understand others. It also has attendees work in groups to analyze the ISTE coaching standards and consider how to meet them. The goal is to support educators in improving student outcomes through proven professional learning and innovative instructional resources.
This document outlines a school district's plan to implement a 1:1 technology program that provides every student with their own laptop or tablet. The plan will be rolled out over several years, starting with older grades and finishing with the class of 2013 receiving devices.

Social learning at massive scale LWMOOCs 2015 slideshareMike Sharples
FutureLearn is a massive open online course (MOOC) platform with over 2 million learners and 4 million course sign-ups. It was formed by The Open University and launched in 2013. FutureLearn partners with universities, organizations, and content providers to offer over 190 courses in various subjects. Analytics from FutureLearn courses show that while most learners view content, around 40% actively engage and a quarter of learners access courses via mobile devices. FutureLearn aims to design pedagogically informed MOOCs through approaches like social learning, visible teaching, and narrative-based learning to support open learning at massive scale.
Chegg talked to educators, employers and current college students to examine why a current skills gap exists. The report reveals an important perspective to the ongoing skills gap and extends the narrative on Chegg’s findings from last year’s “Bridge That Gap” study (www.chegg.com/pulse).
The following presentation was shared at the ASU/GSV Education Innovation Summit on April 22nd, 2014. Presented by Chegg CEO Dan Rosensweig.
1. The document outlines the shared vision of the Stanley Avenue School learner as being educated for life-long learning, focusing on learning to learn, know, do, be, and get along with others.
2. It discusses using emerging technologies like Ultranet, netbooks, and mobile devices to help students take charge of their learning and enhance communication between home and school.
3. Examples of how technologies are being used will be highlighted and students will share their perspectives on using technologies for learning.
The document discusses opportunities for user experience (UX) design to impact the future of learning using new technologies. It notes that students now learn using mobile phones, Google, Wikipedia, online courses, and social media rather than traditional textbooks. The author argues that UX design could help gather learning materials, enable practice in realistic settings, support test preparation, and track student behaviors and outcomes to improve education. Major opportunities exist to provide customized learning services and apply UX principles to the main tasks of gathering information, practicing skills, and assessing understanding.
The document discusses the "Develop Me! Support Me! Retain Me!" approach used at the University of Bradford to support student retention and transition. It provides an overview of the various digital tools and resources used in the approach, including an online social network, surveys, and mobile guides. It also describes the Skills and Personal Reflective Activity (SaPRA) which students complete to reflect on their skills and confidence in areas like academic reading/writing. The approach aims to help students socially and academically integrate into university life from the start through various online and in-person activities and resources.
Chegg is publishing a brand new data report detailing the growing skills gap and a culture of complacency – educators, employers and students acknowledge the gap exists, but they each believe other parties are responsible. The report comes from a new study of university educators, college students, and hiring managers and brings a new, important perspective to Chegg’s findings from last year’s “Bridge That Gap” study.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) was being trialled at Fergusson Intermediate to improve student engagement and motivation by allowing students to use their personal electronic devices for learning purposes. The document discussed the rationale for BYOD, details of the room 5 trial, how BYOD could impact teaching and learning, device considerations, and answered frequently asked questions about monitoring, security, equity, and insurance issues. The school aimed to prepare students for digital citizenship and flexible learning environments they would encounter in the future.

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