A Project-Based Learning activity on Astronomy at GIFT-EGUjdomen44
Poster presented at GIFT-EGU2016 Conference.
Mission to Stars: An Inquiry Project-Based Learning on Universe and astronomic research. Geophysical Research Abstracts, vol 18, EGU-2016. Domènech-Casal, J., Ruiz, N.
This didactic activity proposes students to design a Spatial Research Mission. As a part of their Mission, they choose the research goals, design experiments, select targets (different kinds of celestial bodies) and calculate astronomic distances. For their mission, students construct a 3D model of an Orbital Telescope, selecting the necessary detectors, programming by Scratch its informatic routines and calculating the budget. The activity aims to develop scientific skills and attitudes, make students understand how astronomic research is developed, and to know the main elements (Exoplanets, Galaxies, Supernovas...), and the basic geography of the known Universe beyond the Kuipper Belt.

What next?
Over the past 20 years, higher education has undergone major transformations, brought about by: (i) increasing internationalisation and student mobility; (ii) an ever-growing demand for quality higher education and lifelong learning; (iii) changing student demographics; (iv) the rise of online and blended learning, (v) cross-border higher education and (vi) recognition and quality assurance of qualifications in a digital world without borders. At the same time, access to the Internet and broadband service has increased. According to the International Telecommunications Union, 43 per cent of the world’s population is now online, with some form of regular access to the Internet, and the number of Internet users globally has reached 3.2 billion, of whom 2 billion are from developing countries (ITU, 2015). The huge growth in mobile connectivity, particularly in the developing world, has also brought online content and interaction to a global audience.
Since 2012, known as “The Year of the MOOC,” massive open online courses (MOOCs) have expanded worldwide, shaking up the higher education landscape and potentially disrupting the model of brick-and-mortar universities. Whilst higher education institutions have long been engaged in the delivery of online content (via, for example open educational resources and virtual learning environments), the rapid advent of MOOCs is regarded by some experts as an education revolution — according to Class Central (Shah, 2015a), the total number of MOOCs reached 4,200 in 2015. However, most of the current MOOCs are delivered by top universities in the Global North, which many observers consider a one-way transfer of knowledge from the developed countries to the developing world.
The present UNESCO–COL Guide on MOOCs is designed to raise general awareness amongst policy-makers in developing countries as to how MOOCs might address their concerns and priorities, particularly in terms of access to affordable quality higher education and preparation of secondary school leavers for academic as well as vocational education and training. With very few exceptions, many of the reports on MOOCs already published do not refer to the interests and experiences of developing countries, although we are witnessing important initiatives in more and more countries around the world.
MISP: A Multiple-Impact Social Partnership Model to promote Educators’ Develo...M I Santally
The organization Helping Our People has been setup in 2011 by a team of education professionals working at the Virtual Centre for Innovative Technologies (VCILT) at the University of Mauritius. In 2009, the VCILT embarked on the SIDECAP project, funded by the EU-ACP in a consortium regrouping the Open University of the UK, the University of the West Indies, the University of the South Pacific and the University of the Highlands and Islands. The work of the VCILT in the context of the SIDECAP project was essentially focused on the repurposing of Open Educational Resources to fit in the local Mauritian Context. At the same time, the VCILT received an internal grant to work on the development of interactive learning materials using the integration of text-to-speech technology in instructionally designed PowerPoint presentations. In this paper we report how the research activities of the two projects led to a series of development and applications in the real-world context for the continuous professional development of educators, the establishment of a social entity, an NGO called Helping Our People, a partnership with Microsoft Indian Ocean and French Pacific under the Partners in Learning Program and the Youth Empowerment Program to alleviate the suffering of those living in vulnerable conditions in the country.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Internet’s role – new cyberspace
The Internet, the icon of this revolution, is a communication means
that made possible, for the first time in the history of mankind, “the
communication of many among many, at a chosen time, and in
global scale,” besides having constructed and unconstructed a new
notion of time and space, making the world look infinitely smaller
and globally connected, not needing 80 days to go around the
world, as this happens in a matter of seconds... (Castells, 2003).
New dimension of communication – Cyberspace
heterogeneous space composed by complex forms of
interaction
works as an extension of relations established in the real
world

Network Technology
“It is not about getting organized in network
technology, but the organization of human beings
in networks through thje technology. It is not
about of na era of intelligent machines, but of
human beings that, through the networks, can
combine their intelligence.” Don Tapscott

• A market of “ideas” is developed
• Knowledge created in a network environment,
debated and not necessarily consensual
• More time to collaborate
• Call for a new approach – Digital Citizenship
Impact on Education
9. Possible Strategies
As far as some observed strategies go, we can include the
following, which are not mutually excludent:
New fully online players have come into the Market
which will increase with time, business models not
matured in many cases
Tradiotional universities can take advantange of the
knowledge and experience accumulated and enhance on
campus education with technology, introduce fully online
programs and courses, as well as, blended education
Flexible educational models are starting to be
considered as a strategy
10. Perspectives and Challenges
Educational Model
Digital Citizenship
Professors/Teachers – Learning transformation agent
Students/Learners– Effectiveness in the use of the connectivism
emviroment – new learning culture
Learning networks: informal and formal networks to form knowledge
networks – leverage networks of learning that will become networks of
research, consolidating knowledge management;
Network technology - access to open sources, web 2.0, etc;
University and school networks: using the networks as supplements,
complements, for online or for blended learning;
Learning networks and open education – possibility to use networks to
transform learning, research and knowledge from global to universal.
11. Challenges in Corporations:
Scenario faced in developing environments
• Educational Gap - Only 25% of newly graduated engineers,
15% finance professionals and 10% of all new graduates in
other fields of knowledge are preparedd to perform in multi
national companies (Source: McKinsey & Company, 2010)
• “Last mile of employability” Vijay Govindarajan. Professor da Tuck School of
Management, Darthmouth.
• “Teach Math and Portuguese is not part of our core
business, but, because of the failing educational system,
we, frequently, find ourselves assuming the part” (Desiê Ribeiro,
Educational Manager at Vale)

reduce costs and increase access for professional development
• Take advantage of the ICT educational solutions and tools to
manage and implement the corporate development strategy and
plans through CU:
• Over 150 implemented in the country out of the four thousand plus
in the world with impact on over 4 million professionals’
development
• Best CU in the world, recently ranked, Banco do Brasil - UniBB
