Flipped learning is an arrangement where students complete independent study tasks before a taught session. This allows class time to be used for discussion, problem-solving, and other active learning activities led by the teacher. Both the independent and classroom portions can utilize technology like online videos and collaborative tools. Effective flipped class design includes allowing students to learn material before class, assessing understanding at the start of class, teaching responsively based on student needs, making pre-class work essential to in-class activities, and using class time for collaborative work and application of concepts.

Self-determined learning: Creating personal learning environments for lifelon...Lisa Marie Blaschke
We live in a networked world that gives us a multitude of opportunities for creating, connecting, collaborating, and networking, allowing us to build multi-faceted learning environments of exploration and inquiry. Self-determined learning, or heutagogy, is one pedagogical approach that be can applied for taking advantage of these opportunities across all levels of schooling – starting from pre-school and kindergarten to post-secondary education and lifelong learning. Combined with technology, self-determined learning becomes a powerful means of creating personal learning environments that support lifelong learning. During this session, we will look at ways in which a self-determined learning approach has been applied across all learning communities and discuss how the approach can be used in practice, from the early years through formal education to lifelong learning.

Ideas on how to meaningfully incorporate Moodle Activities into the 3E Framework of Enhance, Extend & Empower.
Recognising the iterative nature of adopting technology, the 3E Framework is based on a tried and tested Enhance-Extend-Empower continuum for using technology to effectively support learning, teaching and assessment across disciplines and levels of study.
The poster provides some ideas about how you might meaningfully incorporate the use of some of Moodle’s activities into the 3E element of the TEL Quality Framework.
To accompany the poster I have created a short video explaining the background and rationale behind it, which is linked to via a QR Code in the top-right corner. This link has now expired (the limitations of a free system!) however you can access the video via the following link: http://hml.yorksj.ac.uk/Play/6877
Workshop for Higher Education staff on how to foster student engagement online.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Design principles for flipped classes
1. Flipping the classroom
Flipped classes: a definition
'Flipped' learning is a specific arrangement of independent and taught study time. Students do independent study tasks first, followed by a
taught or guided session. Assuming (a) that students have completed or at least attempted the tasks in advance, and (b) that teaching staff
have the confidence and repertoire to respond to the diverse needs that arise from this, then the taught session can be made more productive
through responsive teaching. Rather than covering new material, face-to-face time can be used to go over points that students have found
challenging or interesting, to work on problems, to support discussion, and to carry out creative activities. Collaborative work is likely to be
more effective because students are better and more equally prepared.
Flipped and 'blended' or technology-supported learning
Both the independent and the guided phases can be supported by learning technologies, e.g. online videos and diagnostic tests/quizzes in
the independent phase, and clickers, voting systems and collaborative tools in the classroom phase. The use of technology can make it easier
for students to bridge the two modes of learning e.g. annotation/curation tools can be used by learners to reflect on classroom learning in
private, and collaborative tools can allow private reflections to become part of the group learning experience. In these cases 'flipped' is also
'blended', and the distinctions between independent and taught time are more blurred than in traditional university teaching. But there is no
reason why a flipped session could not be based on traditional learning activities - reading before a seminar would be the classic example.

2. Some design principles for flipped classes
Design principle Principle in practice
Allow students to make
sense of the subject matter
before the face-to-face
session.
Offer a variety of routes in to the subject matter (e.g. different media, points of view, examples).
Keep the pre-class tasks manageable, and break the material into separate components where
possible (e.g. separate out the key ideas).
Ensure the resources you provide are accessible to all students.
Assess students’
understanding at the start of
the face-to-face session
Allow students to assess their own understanding without feeling exposed, encouraging self-
assessment and reflection.
Use voting tools or quiz results to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the cohort.

3. Design principle Principle in practice
Teach responsively Prepare a range of resources and activities for the taught session, accepting that not all may be
needed.
Offer activities and resources according to the results of the pre-session assessment.
Give feedback throughout the session and give opportunities for students to feed back on their
understanding and activities.
Make the pre-class work
essential to in-class activities
Design activities, questions, tests etc that draw on the understanding students have gained before the
class.
Explain links between sessions so students see how the next set of pre-class work builds on what
they have learned and prepares them for further learning.

4. Design principle Principle in practice
Use the valuable time/space
of the class to its best
advantage
Consider how students can learn from one another in collaborative tasks.
Consider how students can try out authentic activities in a supportive setting.
Consider how students can gain feedback on their work from teaching staff or other students.
Set discussion topics and frame discussion to ensure maximum participation (think about group size,
how outcomes will be recorded and shared, links with assessment tasks)
Build ongoing commitment
through a community of
learning
Build in group tasks and ensure students feel accountable for group outcomes: it helps if group
outcomes are also relevant to individual learning and assessment.
Encourage between-class communication among students about set tasks and problems.
