This document discusses technology choices for educational designers. It examines the context of courses and explores virtual learning environments, social media, classroom infrastructure, and mobile devices as technological tools. It also considers software tools for learning purposes and the affordances of socio-technical design. Key considerations include the relations between tools, learning materials, copyright issues, and concluding that simple tools can enable rich pedagogical practices when combined with thoughtful design.
Supporting small-group learning using multiple Web 2.0 tools: A case study in...Jari Laru
In this single-case study, small groups of learners were supported by use of multiple social software tools and face-to-face activities in the context of higher education. The aim of the study was to explore how designed learning activities contribute to students’ learning outcomes by studying probabilistic dependencies between the variables. Explorative Bayesian classification analysis revealed that the best predictors of good learning outcomes were wiki-related activities. According to the Bayesian dependency model, students who were active in conceptualizing issues by taking photos were also active blog reflectors and collaborative knowledge builders in their group. In general, the results indicated that interaction between individual and collective actions likely increased individual knowledge acquisition during the course.

The document summarizes the history of the Huguenots in France from 1500-1790. It describes how Huguenots were Protestant reformers who were persecuted for their faith by the Catholic church and French kings. This led to periods of violence and religious wars between Huguenots and Catholics in France. It also profiles influential Huguenots like John Calvin and the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572 where thousands of Huguenots were killed in Paris and across France.
The document provides an overview of the Protestant Reformation in Europe from the 15th to the 17th centuries. It discusses key figures like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and events that led to the split from the Catholic Church and division of Christianity into Catholic and Protestant branches. The Reformation started as a protest against corruptions in the Catholic Church and spread new ideas about faith, scripture, and authority across Europe through the printing press. It faced resistance but established new denominations.
This document provides information about volcanoes in three main sections:
1) It describes the internal structure of volcanoes, including the core, mantle, and crust.
2) It explains the relationship between plate tectonics and volcanic activity at plate boundaries like mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones.
3) It outlines different types of volcanic eruptions based on factors like the viscosity and gas content of the magma, including Hawaiian, Plinian, Strombolian, and hydrovolcanic eruptions.
