This document compares and contrasts a comparative study and a non-comparative study. The comparative study examined computer-based and text-based research writing, having students complete both formats and compare the advantages and disadvantages. The non-comparative study looked at how different navigation tools (linear, menu, search engine) influenced student achievement and attitudes without direct comparison between tools. It involved 146 students stratified by ability who used an online poetry module with different navigation conditions.
There were two viewpoints presented in the document. The first viewpoint found no significant difference in student performance between using online modules or a textbook to teach a course. The second viewpoint found significantly better student performance on exams when using educational technology compared to traditional methods. The author's view is that while the medium and strategies may differ, distance education and traditional education can be equally effective if the best environment and instruction are provided in both.

(1) This study examined how the Makerere University eLearning Environment (MUELE) can be used to improve interaction among distance learners through an activity theory approach.
(2) The researchers found that MUELE has the potential to enhance interaction through its affordances like media, navigation, and accessibility features. However, tensions emerged within the activity system including a mismatch between instructors' constructivist approach and MUELE's social constructivist design, heavy workload for online facilitation, and lack of clear online policies.
(3) By analyzing contradictions using activity theory, the study provides insights into challenges that must be addressed like staff motivation, user skills development, and adapting institutional culture to better support
The document summarizes two studies on the effectiveness of technology in distance education. The first study found that technology significantly improved student performance, communication, and outcomes, especially for female students, without increasing costs. The second study found no significant difference in achievement between a hypertext-based approach and a structured approach, but the hypertext group showed greater performance variability, suggesting it may better suit more able students.
This document discusses making the optimal blend for learning. It notes that most higher education institutions offer blended courses that are between 10-90% online and face-to-face. Blended learning provides benefits like increased connectedness, engagement, participation and mastery of concepts for learners. Core considerations for blended learning include fundamental decisions around instructional design with varied interactions like case studies, simulations, and field work. Resources are shifting towards blended course models with examples.
This document compares two studies on the differences between online and traditional in-person courses. The first study found no significant difference in student grades but found that online students were less satisfied. The second study found statistically significant differences in final grades, failure rates, and course evaluations between the two formats, suggesting online students did not perform as well. However, the document concludes that learning outcomes ultimately depend more on individual student factors than the format alone, and both can provide effective education depending on student needs and learning styles.

This document discusses the possibilities and advantages of online training methods. It begins by providing examples of online training formats such as e-learning courses. The main advantages discussed are that online training can reach more people as it can be accessed anywhere and allows for learner autonomy. However, it also notes some disadvantages such as issues with new technology and lack of proven effectiveness. It then provides concepts to consider when creating online training such as using mixed methods. Finally, it outlines the steps to create online training such as getting approval, finding an audience, and addressing resistance to change.

The second study found that mentor presence in online collaborative learning environments was related to increased interaction and cognitive engagement among participants, and that mentoring could take the form of communities rather than just dyads.
This research study examines virtual collaborative learning for programming education in Hong Kong tertiary institutions. It aims to understand the roles of teachers, students, and synchronous and asynchronous communication services. Eight students will participate in pairs using communication technologies like VNC and instant messaging, along with face-to-face lessons over one semester. Data will be collected through video recordings of lessons, field notes, and student interviews. The data will then be analyzed by transcribing student interactions and summarizing interviews using analysis software.
Reimagine Lakeshore: A Reflective Analysis of a School Division Change Initia...Michael Nantais
This document summarizes a study on Reimagine Lakeshore, a change initiative in the Lakeshore School Division in Manitoba. The initiative aimed to facilitate system change and teacher transformation through a design-based process. The study examined the engagement, changes, and success of the initiative through surveys, focus groups and interviews. Key findings included high participation rates, significant changes in learning spaces, technology integration and instructional strategies, and 84% of participants viewing the initiative as somewhat or very successful. The initiative provided permission and support for teachers to try new approaches to enhance student engagement.
Using Social Media to Engage Educators in LearningMichael Nantais
This document summarizes a study exploring the use of social media to engage education students in authentic discussions about educational issues. The researchers used self-study methodology and collected data from reflective journals, conversations with colleagues, a focus group, and observations of social media activity. They found that blogging and discussion threads on a faculty networking site engaged students in deep discussions and connected them to others outside their courses. However, some students raised privacy concerns. The researchers plan to continue experimenting with social media and addressing issues that arise to enhance learning conversations.
This document discusses the flipped classroom model of education. It describes how the flipped classroom shifts instruction to a learner-centered approach by delivering content outside of class, such as through videos and online documents, to free up more class time for activities and exploration of topics. The teacher takes on more of a facilitator role to answer questions and help students build knowledge together. The flipped classroom is presented as an active method for both basic and higher education that better prepares students and adapts to the new student profile of being involved in control, context, and communication.
This document summarizes two studies - a comparative study on the costs of online versus traditional education, and a non-comparative study on factors affecting student satisfaction in online courses. The comparative study analyzed student attrition and costs, finding that online education is more expensive but could see benefits from higher retention rates. The non-comparative study found that students reported high satisfaction and perceived learning in online courses when there was a clear course structure, engaged instructor, and valuable discussions.
Open Online Courses in Health Professions Education: A systematic reviewMichael Rowe
I'm working on a systematic review of the literature on Open Online Courses in Health Professions Education, with two colleagues from Monash University. These are the preliminary findings from that review that I presented at the SAAHE conference in 2016.
This study examined the relationships between engineering students' attendance, participation, and performance in an Engineering Statics course at the University of Technology, Jamaica. The results showed positive and significant relationships between attendance and participation, attendance and performance, and participation and performance. Students who attended and participated more had better overall performance. The researchers recommend mandatory attendance policies and scheduled quizzes to increase attendance and improve student performance.
This document outlines an agenda for a session on using action research to improve teaching practice. It defines action research as a disciplined inquiry conducted by teachers to improve their own practice. The session will discuss developing a research question, collecting valid and reliable data from multiple sources, and analyzing data to inform changes in teaching practice through a cyclical process of planning, action, reflection and revised planning. Attendees will learn how action research can help teachers formalize their own reflections and ongoing professional development.
This document summarizes a research study that investigated how increasing teacher involvement in innovative practices and connectedness can change school culture and support sustainability of innovation. The study examined how these factors impact teachers' understanding of 21st century curriculum needs and self-efficacy in integrating information and communication technology in their teaching. All 38 teachers at a local public school participated in the study, which involved pre-and post-test questionnaires, focus groups, observations, and video recordings before, during, and after an intervention period where teachers' innovative practices and connectedness were increased.
In this PowerPoint presentation we are going to Summarize two evaluation studies in educational technology. The first summary focuses on the evaluation methodology used, in terms of purpose and instruments. The second focuses on the evaluation of specific technology features.
The document discusses curriculum renewal through connections and collaboration at universities. It proposes designing curriculum collectively and managing it as a collective enterprise through deep reflection. Collaboration can help manage workload, with course directors helping develop curriculum themes. Learning and teaching services can support collaboration through educational designers, media development, and professional development resources. Federated models allow students to study common topics from different disciplinary perspectives. Interprofessional practice involves expert practitioners from different fields working together on shared problems and clients.
Reviewing and summarizing two evaluation studies in educational technology. The first summary should focus on the evaluation methodology used, in terms of purpose and instruments. The second one should focus on the evaluation of specific technology features.
The document discusses the effective use of technology in the classroom. It argues that technology increases student attention and interest, improves standardized test scores, fosters higher-order thinking skills, and increases the future success of students. It cites several studies that show students learn more when using computer-based instruction, develop more positive attitudes, and demonstrate stronger critical thinking. Technology integration can help engage today's students and better prepare them for future challenges.
Distance learning is a field of education that aims to deliver instruction to students who are not physically on-site through technologies like radio, television, and the internet. It allows students to study off-campus and submit assignments remotely. While it increases flexibility and access to education, distance learning also faces challenges related to instruction quality, costs, and limited interaction between students and instructors. Effective distance educators design their lessons around the technologies used and teach in a student-centered manner that respects adult learners' motivation and experience.
The document summarizes two research studies that compare distance education to traditional face-to-face education. The first study found no significant difference in student outcomes between distance and traditional education, concluding that distance education is just as good as traditional. The second study found little difference in student performance between online and face-to-face courses. Both studies indicate that distance education is comparable to traditional education in terms of student learning outcomes and performance.
The document discusses ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in education. It outlines the objectives of understanding ICT, its features, the role of ICT teachers, and tools for evaluation. ICT is defined as digital technologies used for communication, and includes computers, the internet, and other communication mediums. The use of ICT in education provides benefits like global access to knowledge, self-paced learning, and making learning interactive. However, integrating ICT into schools also presents challenges related to infrastructure, funding, teacher training, and remote areas with limited access.
This document discusses the concept of open and distance learning. It defines open learning, distance learning, and open and distance learning.

This document discusses different models of programmed instruction in education technology. It describes linear and branching models of programmed instruction. The linear model presents material in a fixed straight line sequence, while the branching model allows students to choose their own path through the material based on their responses. The document also discusses pioneers in the field like Skinner, Crowder, and Pressey, and how their work influenced the development of programmed instruction and its basic principles.
This document provides an overview of programmed instruction. It discusses how programmed instruction emerged from experimental research on operant conditioning by B.F. Skinner and Edward Thorndike's law of effect. It describes some key figures in the early development of programmed instruction like Socrates and Pressey and defines programmed instruction according to various experts. The document also outlines 11 characteristics of programmed instruction and 5 principles of programmed learning, including using small steps, active responding, immediate feedback, self-pacing, and student testing. Finally, it discusses different styles of programming like linear and branching formats.
This document discusses education and educational technology. It defines education as a lifelong process of transmitting knowledge, values, and culture between generations through both formal and informal means. Formal education occurs in institutions like schools and universities, while informal education happens through everyday activities and surroundings. Educational technology uses tools to advance student learning and combines learning with creativity. Some examples of traditional educational technologies include slate, abacus, paper, and books, while modern technologies include radio, television, computers, and applications. The latest educational technologies also include projection tools, multimedia, and smart boards.
Educational technology is defined as a systematic process of applying scientific knowledge to improve learning and instruction. It can be applied in both formal and non-formal education. In formal education, technologies like visual aids, computers, and the internet are used. These include projectors, smart boards, and classroom computers. In non-formal settings, computer-assisted learning, digital learning resources on the web, computer-mediated communication tools, and computer-aided assessment are applied using technologies like email and videoconferencing. The most effective approach integrates these various educational technologies to enhance the learning process.
Programmed instruction is an individualized teaching method that breaks content into small steps and controls the learner's responses. It is based on operant conditioning theory and was popularized by B.F. Skinner in the 1950s. There are two main types: linear programming that presents content in a fixed order, and branching programming which allows learners to choose their own path through multiple choice questions. While programmed instruction aims to individualize learning, it also has limitations such as lacking creativity and social interaction.
Review of available evidence regarding the impact of ICT in education at different levels. Presented at École Centrale Paris with the support of Programme Action Marie Curie, FMSH.
Programmed instruction is a step-by-step teaching method that presents information in small units and tests students frequently before allowing them to advance. It applies behaviorist learning theories that posit learning as a sequential process. Students can learn at their own pace and receive reinforcement for correct answers before moving forward. While computers helped enable programmed instruction, some critics argue it may not support language communication skills.
This document discusses the application of educational technology in formal and non-formal education. It defines educational technology as the combination of hardware and software used for educational purposes. In formal education, technology is used as a visual aid in classrooms through tools like smart boards and projectors. It allows students to learn, practice, and expand their knowledge. In non-formal education, computer-assisted learning, the internet, and digital resources are used for interactive instruction outside the traditional classroom. Educational technology integrates different tools to enhance the learning experience.
ICT in Education 2009 PGDE (Teacher Training) Presentation at Edinburgh Unive...Ollie Bray
The document discusses various ways that information and communication technologies (ICT) can be used in education. It addresses topics like the role of web 2.0 tools, using mobile phones in the classroom for activities like fieldwork and polling students, and how games can be used to assess student learning. It also discusses designing curriculum around media and balancing the benefits and risks of internet use.
ICT refers to technologies used to transmit, store, create, share, and exchange information. ICT has become integral to modern life through improvements in communication speed from scientific and technological discoveries. ICT helps fulfill common needs by making tools available. ICT has broad applications in education by allowing anyone access to information, using television and online tools for instruction, enabling remote experimentation and surgery observation, and facilitating online exams and tutoring.
This document provides a summary of research on the benefits of one-to-one computing initiatives in K-12 education. It discusses how giving each student a laptop or tablet can increase student engagement and ownership over their work. Research has found that these initiatives improve attendance rates, discipline, and test scores when implemented effectively with proper training. However, barriers like technical support and wireless infrastructure must be addressed. The document reviews several research articles that found one-to-one programs facilitate differentiated and student-centered learning, while also allowing for more feedback between teachers and students.
This study compared learning outcomes and student satisfaction between an online graduate course and an equivalent face-to-face course. The study assessed student ratings of the instructor and course, perceptions of student-instructor interaction, course structure and support, as well as learning outcomes like course grades and student self-assessment of content knowledge. While students in the face-to-face course had slightly more positive views of the instructor and course quality, there was no significant difference in learning outcomes between the two course formats. The findings provide insight for developing and delivering effective online instruction.

1-Experiences with a Hybrid Class: Tips And Pitfalls
College Teaching Methods & Styles Journal, 2006, Vol.2(2), p.9-12
Notes
This paper will discuss the author's experiences with converting a traditional classroom-based course to a hybrid class, using a mix of traditional class time and web-support. The course which was converted is a lower-level human relations class, which has been offered in both the traditional classroom-based setting and as an asynchronous online course. After approximately five years of offering the two formats independently, the author decided to experiment with improving the traditional course by adopting more of the web-based support and incorporating more research and written assignments in "out of class" time. The course has evolved into approximately 60% traditional classroom meetings and 40% assignments and other assessments out of class. The instructor's assessment of the hybrid nature of the class is that students are more challenged by the mix of research and writing assignments with traditional assessments, and the assignments are structured in such a way as to make them more "customizable" for each student. Each student can find some topics that they are interested in to pursue in greater depth as research assignments. However, the hybrid nature of the class has resulted in an increased workload for the instructor. The course has been well received by the students, who have indicated that they find the hybrid format appealing.

Notes
The goal of this study is to understand if there are any variations regarding student engagement and course outcomes based on the course format. A new course format was introduced in fall of 2006 that involves a hybrid approach (large lecture with small recitations) with a higher level of student enrollment than traditional research methods courses. During the same time frame, the discipline maintained its traditional research methods courses as well. A survey was administered to all students enrolled in research methods regardless of course format in fall 2006 and spring 2007. Student responses are discussed, including information concerning the preparation, design, cost and benefits of offering a hybrid research methods course format.

Current distance learning technological advances allow real and virtual classrooms to unite. In this .
1) The document discusses the use of educational technology and other learning resources in language teaching. It presents an overview of modern teaching practices using computers and the Internet in the classroom.
2) A case study is described that examined the impact of an educational technology program called Intel Teach on students compared to a control group where traditional teaching methods were used. Assessment results showed students in the technology-integrated group performed better.
3) The case study found that the technology program improved students' computer skills and attitudes towards technology use, supporting theories that students learn in different ways and benefit from more hands-on, collaborative, project-based approaches.
The document discusses project-based learning as an alternative teaching method to the traditional classroom. It argues that project-based learning engages students more actively in their learning, allows them to have input in the curriculum, and connects lessons to students' real-world experiences. Studies have shown higher test scores and retention rates for students taught with project-based learning. The chapter then discusses using digital storytelling technology in the social studies classroom as part of a project-based approach to help students learn in a more interactive way.
This document outlines a research proposal for a study on the impact of flipped classrooms and mobile learning. The study will take place at Sharjah Women's College in the UAE, which has about 2,000 female students between ages 17-25 from Sharjah and surrounding emirates. Through needs analysis including interviews and observations, the author identified flipped classroom and mobile learning using Moodle as an approach to potentially improve student English skills. The research will use a correlation study to examine relationships between variables like age, gender, language and students' use of reading articles or videos in Moodle discussions. Data will be collected through surveys and observations, following ethics guidelines to protect student privacy and confidentiality. The expected results could benefit education in
Blended learning - Online Learning and Traditional LearningArpit Srivastava
Blended learning can increase flexibility for learners in several ways:
- It allows learners to access course content and materials online, so they can learn anywhere at any time, not just during scheduled class meetings. This provides more flexibility over when and where they learn.
- The online components allow learners to review lectures, lessons, and materials at their own pace. They aren't constrained by the pace of the entire class.
- By moving some content online, it frees up class time that can then be used for more interactive, applied, and personalized learning activities like discussions, projects, labs, etc. This shifts the focus to applied, active learning during face-to-face meetings.

This article will attempt to convince the reader that a blended learning approach, where an online course is supplemented by one or more classroom sessions along with several other potential delivery methods, has the greatest potential for a strong learning outcome and student satisfaction. The artic|e's contents are largely based on this author’s experience teaching a hybrid class at California State University, the research he did for his doctoral dissertation, along with an article he wrote for the Wilberforce University Faculty Journal.
This document summarizes two studies comparing different learning formats:
1) A study comparing traditional and distance learning formats for a philosophy course, finding few differences in learning outcomes or satisfaction except that traditional students found lectures more interesting.
2) A study comparing online discussion formats where students replied to each other versus replying directly to the instructor, finding greater participation and deeper discussion when students replied to each other with minimal instructor involvement.
Developing Deep and Authentic Learning in Remote Teaching and Learning during...Seun Oyekola
This document discusses developing deep and authentic learning in remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. It analyzes student experiences and challenges with the transition to online learning through interviews. Global design principles are proposed to guide instructional design, including creating engaging learning spaces, providing scaffolding and coaching, and encouraging collaboration. An intervention is proposed addressing access issues, reducing isolation, engaging teaching methods, and adopting varied activity types based on learning theories. The goal is to promote continued meaningful learning remotely.
The document discusses the use of flipped classroom technology in language learning. It defines flipped classroom as an approach where traditional classroom activities and homework are reversed, with students gaining initial exposure to new material outside of class, often via reading or video lectures, and using class time to do activities that would traditionally be homework. It notes that this approach allows students to learn at their own pace and encourages collaboration. However, it also acknowledges challenges like the initial workload for teachers in developing online content and ensuring all components of teaching and learning are well-connected.
This document provides an overview of a research proposal examining the successful implementation of a blended learning environment. The proposal discusses:
1) The shift to more flexible learning environments that integrate online and face-to-face learning through a learning management system.
2) Research questions that will examine the benefits of blended learning, elements of a thriving blended classroom, pedagogical considerations, and ensuring successful implementation of a new LMS.
3) A review of literature on topics like partnerships between home, school and community; the effectiveness of online versus blended learning; implementing constructivist pedagogy with technology; and critical factors for computer-mediated collaboration and LMS implementation.

The document discusses the challenges of integrating online and face-to-face learning in blended learning environments (BLEs). It identifies several key challenges, including finding the right blend of online and in-person instruction, educator resistance to changing pedagogies, ensuring adequate support for students, and overcoming cultural barriers to more independent online learning. The document emphasizes that successful BLEs require a student-centered design and flexible approach to address these challenges.
The document discusses authentic learning tasks, which involve real-world activities that demonstrate meaningful application of skills, and authentic assessment, where students are evaluated on performing tasks using rubrics. Various benefits of authentic learning are provided, including increased engagement, collaboration, and development of complex skills, as well as examples of authentic tasks and their key elements.
This document summarizes and compares two research studies on the effectiveness of online versus traditional face-to-face learning. The first study found no significant difference in learning outcomes between online and face-to-face courses. The second meta-analysis found online learning was slightly more effective for teaching declarative knowledge, while both methods were equally effective for teaching procedural knowledge and learner satisfaction. The document concludes that while online learning may not be superior, it is generally as effective as face-to-face learning, and instructional methods have more impact than delivery medium.
White Paper: Engage Every Student with Personalized LearningLenovo Business
Recent research has found that K-12 schools that have implemented personalized, technology-supported learning programs known as "1-to-1" programs are seeing improved student outcomes. These schools have lower dropout rates, fewer disciplinary issues, higher test scores, and long-term financial benefits. Studies from seven states show students in 1-to-1 programs have greater engagement, improved achievement, and teachers make better use of technology for instruction. However, proper implementation is critical for success, including factors like strong leadership, quality teacher training, and robust technology infrastructure.

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

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.

Research Statement:
"None of the performance differences we observed
were significant, indicating that performance is roughly
the same using either the modules or a textbook.“
“… We taught the course for two semesters. The first
semester, the modules were used to supplement a
standard text, and the second only the modules were
used. There were 41 students each term, and students
using the modules had a higher mean and lower
standard deviation on their final exam scores. The
modules are as effective as the textbook, cheaper, and
easier to access and modify".

Research Statement : "Even with higher course
standards for success, student performance on
examinations has improved , a larger fraction of
students achieve the goals of the class, and the
proportion of students who excel has increased .
Female students benefit even more than their male
counterparts. The level of communication and
interaction among students has also increased
dramatically , with mostly positive (but some negative)
effects. Data concerning cost effectiveness indicate that
the technology can reduce costs, but perhaps more
importantly, it can increase the quality without increasing
costs".

6. OUR VIEW
There are no significant difference between Distance education and
traditional education. Sometimes, you can see that distance is more
flexible, you can attend class any time and spend more time to doing
the task rather than traditional education. However, traditional
education can be good in other point that distance education cannot.
For example, in traditional education , the face to face interaction
with other learners or instructor is more effect in learning process and
the instructor can monitor the learner and notice their performance
and attitudes. The different between distance education and
traditional education are appear in the methods, strategies and
materials that used in each education but the most important is the
outcomes of each education is similar and also the effectiveness of
each education if the instructor prepare the best environment and
best ability
