Mind the gap: modeling learning in a professional curriculumJo Smedley
The document discusses modeling learning in a professional curriculum. It explores using modern technologies to enhance learning and teaching through assessment and feedback tools like podcasting and vodcasting. A case study models the impact of a law curriculum incorporating various technology blends. Equations are developed to measure the experience and expectation gaps across delivery, content, assessment, resources and quality for both organizational and individual learning. The model will be further defined and optimized to maximize learning impact.
A study of student survey data from the University of Northampton found that reliable wifi is associated with positive student perceptions in several areas. When students reported that the wifi was reliable, they were significantly more likely to agree that the university supports using their own devices, helps them access health services, stay safe online, and protect their data privacy. Reliable wifi was also associated with students rating the quality of digital teaching and provision more highly. The findings suggest that unreliable wifi could negatively impact how students answer various survey questions, not just those directly related to technology.
WebPA is a peer assessment tool that allows students to provide adjusted marks for individual contributions to group work. It addresses a common criticism of group work that all students receive the same mark regardless of individual performance. The document discusses how WebPA is being used successfully at several universities to provide peer assessments of cooperation, communication, enthusiasm, organization, and contribution for group work. Feedback indicates students are more satisfied with group work assessed using WebPA and that complaints about assessing group work have decreased.
Nicola Wilkinson developed WebPA to address criticisms of traditional group assessments. WebPA allows students to peer assess individual contributions to group work, resulting in adjusted marks. Students are randomly assigned to groups and complete a group task. They then assess themselves and group members on criteria like cooperation, communication, and contribution. Evaluations from Dr. Pond, Dr. Robinson, Alan Curtis, and Dr. Cherry indicate WebPA provides honest assessments that improve student satisfaction with group work evaluations.
This document discusses international benchmarking of e-learning at Lund University in Sweden. It provides context on benchmarking and outlines several benchmarking projects Lund has conducted, including with the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) and the European School for Media and Management Studies (ESMU). The EADTU project used 33 e-learning benchmarks across strategic management, curriculum design, course design, delivery and student/staff support. Benchmarking provides benefits like improving quality, strengthening identity and reputation, and discovering new ideas. Emerging themes in e-learning include personalization, participation, productivity, and aspects like networking, sustainability and lifelong learning.
This document discusses the E-Rate program, which provides discounts of 20-90% on telecommunication services for most schools and libraries in the US. It is funded by telecommunications service providers and aims to provide affordable internet access. The document outlines the benefits of E-Rate, how the application process works, and Woodville ISD's technology plan, which includes funding replacement cycles for devices and infrastructure, staff development, and teaching objectives to increase technology integration and proficiency. It concludes by asking for questions and detailing how the district can get started and involved with E-Rate.
The document summarizes research from a Digital Toolkit project examining digital literacy and well-being policies for students. Key findings include:
- Current approaches to digital well-being among staff and students are fragmented, with various online resources but a lack of joined-up institutional thinking.
- Staff feel hindered by outdated structures in addressing students' digital needs, and there is a disconnect between students' digital lives and how institutions approach well-being.
- The researchers propose a maturity model based on the JISC framework to help institutions benchmark and improve their approach to digital literacy and student well-being in a holistic way. This would involve greater student involvement, focus on lifelong learning and future needs, and consideration

We recently hosted a drinks and networking event for education professionals - and polled our guests on their expectations for the development of e-learning penetration. This is the summary output from that poll.
Printed materials are an accessible and cost-effective technology for distance education. They allow students to access course content anywhere and at their own pace. While the upfront costs of developing printed materials are low, electronic fulfillment has lowered the per-unit cost and increased flexibility. Printed materials enable one-way interaction between students and content and are easy to use with no additional equipment required. However, they have limitations and do not engage all learning styles. Organizational support is needed to produce printed materials in alternative formats and incorporate this technology successfully.

1. Social learning and how it differs from training, informal learning, online search, and e-learning.
2. Problem solving through social learning versus addressing business issues and strengthening relationships.
3. A review of current social media tools and their applications, and the importance of original written content and monitoring social learning platforms from internal and external positions.
The document describes a mock debate between a conservative CIO and an innovative academic practitioner about using social media in higher education. The CIO's role is to protect the university through policies and business cases, while the practitioner wants to engage students through flexible learning. They discuss frameworks, governance, and new opportunities for learning, with the CIO wanting a business case and the practitioner emphasizing pedagogical benefits. In the rebuttal, the CIO acknowledges user needs but cites safety and policies, while the practitioner argues policies should consider student life and business practices. They agree the new CIO could help negotiate and UCISA's toolkit may provide guidance.

This document discusses pointers in C++. It begins by defining a pointer as a variable that holds the memory address of another variable. It then lists three reasons why pointers are one of C++'s most useful features: 1) they allow direct access and manipulation of memory locations, 2) they support dynamic memory allocation, and 3) they can improve efficiency of certain routines. The document goes on to explain pointer declaration, initialization, arithmetic, and how to allocate and free dynamic memory using new and delete operators. It also discusses pointers and strings as well as constant pointers.
This presentation will helpful for Android Beginner's to refresh the OOPS Concepts which is very basic things for Android Mobile Application Development.
The document discusses the limitations of procedural programming languages and how object-oriented programming (OOP) addresses these limitations. Specifically, it notes that procedural languages have issues with unrestricted access to global data and modeling real-world objects which have both attributes and behaviors. OOP combines data and functions that operate on that data into single units called objects, encapsulating the data and hiding it from direct access. This solves the problems of procedural languages by restricting access to data and more closely modeling real objects.

IRJET - Investigating the Common Factor of Drop Out based on Learner’s Perspe...IRJET Journal
This document investigates the common dropout factors among learners in MOOCs in Malaysia based on learner perspectives and dropout rates. It finds that only 18% of Malaysian MOOC users complete courses and 64% have never taken a MOOC, indicating lack of awareness. Through surveys of University of Malaya students and professionals, it analyzes factors like language, time constraints, financial support and compares dropout factors to other countries. The literature review discusses MOOC background/engagement and studies on dropout rates in various countries from 2013-2019. Common dropout factors found include lack of time, support, digital/learning skills and barriers like education levels, gender, resources. The study aims to identify common dropout factors, dropout rates
Opening Comments, ALT policy board, 29th April 2013Martin Oliver
1. The document discusses the past, present, and future of technology in education, noting that while technology has long been predicted to transform education, its impact has been slow.
2. Currently, MOOCs and online education are proliferating but face challenges around student retention and completion rates.
3. Looking ahead, issues include whether prestigious universities' MOOCs will displace lower-prestige institutions, competition from global providers, and ensuring education remains accessible to all.
This document discusses using digital tools to engage students. It makes three key points:
1. Many studies of digital tools focus on the tools themselves rather than student engagement, assuming tools directly impact engagement. This is an oversimplification.
2. A critical theory of technology recognizes that while tools enable certain actions, their impact depends on how they are applied and the existing social system. Tools alone do not determine outcomes.
3. A better approach is to first identify the desired student engagement and actions, then select tools based on enabling those specific actions, rather than choosing tools first. The focus should be on using tools to facilitate pre-defined engagement goals.
Forging Successful Learning Centers: Critical Considerations and Evidence-Bas...Lisa D'Adamo-Weinstein

Online Educa Berlin 2014 Selfie and Students as ProducersDan Peters
Oxford Dictionary noted a 17,000% increase in the use of the word “selfie” in 2013 compared to 2012. Selfie’s are a symptom of the desire to produce rather than consume and are related to the transition from students as consumers to students as creators.
The document discusses why early e-learning projects failed and why e-learning will succeed. It analyzes why for-profit e-learning programs in the 1990s crashed due to bad business plans, unrealistic expectations of costs, and ignoring expertise in distance education. While e-learning adoption has been slow in public education, it argues e-learning will succeed by meeting lifelong learning needs in a knowledge-based society and developing skills like problem-solving and collaboration. E-learning needs strategic use focusing on appropriate learners, skills, and niche markets to be effective and potentially profitable.

Presentation, International virtual conference 2021 on Post COVID global scenario: Threats and Opportunities organized by St. Joseph's College, Irinjalakuda, Kerala in collaboration with Graduate Business, Christian Brothers University, USA on 27th - 29th January 2021
This document discusses the history and development of e-learning and online professional development (e-PD) for educators. It traces the origins of distance education back to the 18th century and highlights universities like the University of London that began offering distance learning degrees in the 1800s. The development of the internet allowed for the rise of the first fully online university in 1996. The document then discusses research that has found e-PD can improve targeted student outcomes when teachers participate in a coordinated series of online courses. It also outlines strategies for achieving critical mass adoption of e-PD innovations.

Upside down:Staff and student led digital learning strategies in UK HEIsdebbieholley1
This document summarizes a presentation on a study examining digital learning strategies in UK higher education institutions. The study found that while institutions valued staff and student involvement, participation was not formalized. It also found that educators were viewed primarily as providers rather than users of digital tools, and students as receivers. The presentation proposes a framework for a more participatory "upside down" approach where students and staff are actively involved in developing digital strategies.

The Future of Learning Technology in UK Higher Education
At Microsoft it’s essential that we understand how we can support
innovative individuals, businesses and organisations to shape the future – and there is no more important area for innovation than Higher Education.
Introduction
Learning delivery in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is
being reshaped before our eyes, thanks in part to advances
in technology and the new pedagogical theories facilitated by
that technology.
In order to understand more about the ever-evolving
relationship between technology and learning, we spent time
speaking with six of the UK’s leading learning technologists
working within HEIs.
In a series of interviews exploring current practice, changing
needs and key trends, we were able to establish how digital
devices are being used in universities and how cutting-edge
technology can continue to compliment a sector experiencing
fresh emphasis on collaboration, creation and innovation.

Similar to Digitalisation@Massey: Understanding the Real Drivers (20)
The document discusses digital transformation using metaphors of caterpillars becoming butterflies. It provides quotes that analogize digital transformation done correctly to a caterpillar transforming beautifully into a butterfly, but done incorrectly resulting in just a hungry caterpillar. Another quote suggests digital transformation takes a more meandering path like a butterfly's flight rather than a direct bullet path. A final quote indicates that to undergo digital transformation, one must be willing to give up their prior form or self like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.

The Future of Micro-credentials: Is Small Really Beautiful?Mark Brown
QA agencies are responding to micro-credentials in three main ways:
1) Many countries have no framework for micro-credentials but plan to integrate them into existing QA standards.
2) Some countries like Australia, Canada, and the UK apply existing standards to micro-credentials.
3) A few places including Malaysia, New Zealand, and Ireland have specific guidelines for micro-credential QA.
Leading institutions are responding by developing micro-credential frameworks, marketplaces, and integrating them into learning and teaching strategies. However, there are still holes like lack of course quality ratings, outcomes data, and learner support information that limit micro-credentials. Stakeholders are discussing how to strengthen quality assurance for online and cross-

Untubing AI in Assessment: A Primer for Future’s SakeMark Brown
The document summarizes a presentation on AI in assessment given by Professor Mark Brown. The presentation addressed three main points: 1) Educators should avoid AI-centric thinking and own the narrative around how AI can help address existing assessment challenges; 2) Guidelines are needed for both allowing and prohibiting student use of AI tools in assessments; 3) Assessments need to be redesigned to emphasize authentic processes over products and evaluate uniquely human skills that AI cannot replicate. The presentation argued for augmenting human expertise with AI rather than automating assessments and discussed principles and actions needed to shape regulations, review practices, and support educators on the path to assessment change.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
