Using ENABLE to developing e-Professionalism and embedding Social Media and Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) in Higher Education Curricula
Presentation at MELSIG at University of Sussex
on 9 September 2014
This document discusses using social media to support learning. It presents the SM4L (Social Media for Learning) framework, which identifies several ways social media can enhance learning experiences. The framework promotes learning that is socially inclusive, life-wide and lifelong, across multiple media, learner-centered, cooperative, and open/accessible. Examples of how social media can take learning in an authentic and situated direction are also provided. The document concludes with an activity where participants generate ideas for applying the SM4L framework and discuss the inclusiveness of those ideas.

This presentation discusses how digital technology and Web 2.0 are changing how people connect and interact. It notes that internet access is now considered more essential than clean water or refrigeration by many. The presentation discusses how governments have adopted digital strategies in response to these changes. It also covers some of the opportunities digital technology provides for improved services, as well as challenges around ethics, professionalism, and new forms of abuse and exploitation. Examples of digital initiatives to enhance citizen engagement, care for older adults, and public health consultation are also provided.
The document discusses digital curation, which is the process of organizing and maintaining valuable online content. It notes that medical students have access to too much information from various sources, making it difficult to determine what is high quality and relevant. Digital curation involves students and staff filtering online resources and adding context to curate collections of content on topics. The presenter's institution has been using digital curation platforms like Scoop.it to organize content for case-based learning groups and subjects, finding that only around 25% of groups actively used and contributed to the curated resources. Plans are discussed to provide more support and training to expand the use of digital curation.
This document discusses how social media can change health professional education. It argues that social media allows for curation of online content, which helps students navigate the large amount of information available. When used for case-based learning, social media can support active, collaborative learning. The document also explores how social media can be used for scholarly teaching and transformative learning by facilitating boundary-crossing discussions and networking between different communities. Overall, it presents social media as a tool that can reshape medical education when used to connect students, educators and clinicians in sharing and debating ideas.

ย
This document discusses using Facebook to enhance collaborative learning for Media Law students in journalism. A Facebook page was created in 2014 to provide essential Media Law knowledge, examples of good and bad legal and ethical practices in journalism, and a space for students to collaborate and discuss real-world examples. Student feedback was positive, noting its usefulness, ease of communication, and relevance. However, issues included it not being recognized as an official learning space and requiring ongoing staff time commitment. Overall, it showed potential for creating an engaged learning community around Media Law.
Chapter viii education in the new milieuCynthia Buque
ย
This document discusses the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on education. It notes that ICT allows faster access to more detailed information but that students must learn to think critically and creatively. ICT has also divided those who have access from those who do not, known as the "digital divide." The document discusses how ICT can increase access to education through distance learning and enhance teaching and administration. However, it also notes ICT risks replacing effective teaching and creating antisocial or unhealthy behaviors in students. The future of education may see a transformation with knowledge no longer confined to schools and skills training increasingly matching job requirements.
The document discusses incorporating social networking into classrooms while ensuring safety and effective learning. It outlines concerns teachers have about using social media in the classroom such as privacy and distraction issues. It recommends using learning design software like LAMS that structures social networking tasks and discussions to focus students. The document provides guidelines for educators on educating students to use social media privately and respectfully.
This document discusses the changing nature of higher education and the need to blend formal and informal learning. It notes that students today grew up with constant digital stimulation and want autonomy, creativity, and real-time interaction. Higher education must remove barriers between informal and formal learning by using open educational resources, tools, and social networking tuned for learning. This involves personalized mobile learning through social networks and mentors selected by the learner, moving from institutionally defined paths to gentler, more open slopes accredited through demonstration of learning.
The document summarizes findings from the JISC Learner Experience Programme (LXP) regarding students' use of technology. The LXP studied students across different disciplines and found extensive use of various tools for tasks like researching, communicating, and completing assignments. Students had personalized approaches and used tools in unintended ways compared to institutional policies. This points to a mismatch between policy directives focused on lifelong learning and the realities of students' technology use in a rapidly changing social and educational context.

The document discusses using social media and technology strategically in education. It summarizes research showing students' needs for communication and connection. It recommends identifying pedagogical goals and student needs, and using social media to increase communication, engage students with rich media, and facilitate feedback. However, it warns that technology is only a medium and the message depends on strategies that focus on open access, collaboration, and supporting students and instructors.
Where did all my students go? This question is (or could be) asked by faculty all over the world. It is most appropriate in response to the migration of students from one professor to another (who listens to and understands them), or from one University to another (where everyone responds to them). It happens when students realize that their learning environment is the same one their parents had โ boring, stifling, and very limited. In this presentation, we will discuss and demonstrate some recent technology developments that easily modernize teaching methods and quickly engage students. Learning environments should not be confined to the classroom โ itโs time for them to be retrofitted . . . weโll look at some examples.

Social Media: Transforming our Digital FutureTanya Joosten
ย
This document discusses using social media to transform digital education. It notes that most students regularly use tools like Facebook, texting, and YouTube. Effective social media use requires understanding student needs through things like frequent communication, feeling connected, and using engaging media. Simply adding popular technologies is not enough - strategies should focus on pedagogical goals like rich interactions, cooperation, and sharing values. Non-verbal cues are largely missing online, so words and emoticons are especially important. An authentic and thoughtful approach is needed to truly transform learning through technology.
The Wellington Loop is a regional cluster in its third year providing professional development for teachers. It aims to inform school leaders about ICT's potential to improve learning and outcomes. The Loop visits principals and develops strategic plans. Research models discussed include frameworks for Maori advancement, educational leadership, and effective professional development. The collaborative pathway seeks to create a total picture through cooperation. Integrated action recognizes multiple education players and interconnected impacts. Effective professional development twice impacts student outcomes. Teachers are becoming early adopters of new pedagogies through Loop events and projects.
Ethical risks in online social work: e-Professionalism and the implications f...husITa
ย
Social workers have been swept up in the tides of technological change alongside other professions, and while many have embraced the digital world with enthusiasm, others maintain a cautious distance. There are many examples of social workers developing online counselling and therapy services to reach particular client groups; using social media and social networking to promote themselves and their agencies; and engaging with many different opportunities now available online to highlight important social justice causes. Despite increasing use of technology for education and training, as well as in practice, social work curriculum development has lagged well behind in educating future graduates about how to construct online professional identities and personas; how to protect themselves, their families and their reputations; and how to uphold ethical standards in the online environment. This paper explores the emerging concept of โe-Professionalismโ as it relates to social work, exposing many of the ethical risks and dilemmas currently being experienced in online interactions, and providing case examples of both appropriate and inappropriate online conduct. Recommendations are provided for ways that social work education can promote skill development to ensure graduates can appropriately manage issues of confidentiality and privacy, boundaries and relationships, records and documentation, and accountability of service provision. Failure to include specific curriculum content on โe-Professionalismโ will, it is argued; pose significant problems for the social work profession in the future.
Policy makers should integrate youth media communication into the political process locally. Research is needed on European youth media education criteria and sharing best practices. Youth should help evaluate media education projects. The database of European youth media projects should be approachable and visible to all youth. Consider using audiovisual reports for grant applications to include youth with fewer skills. Form experts to coach youth media creation projects. Incorporate media education into formal school curriculum using non-formal methods. Provide free internet access with education on critical use. Ensure time for non-formal education opportunities like media projects. Promote free software and establish equipment renting/redistribution for youth projects.

Intelligence is important information gathered from missing person reports and interviews that can help uncover criminal activity and safeguard individuals. Over 43,000 missing person reports were filed in 2014/15 in the UK, providing thousands of opportunities to collect intelligence. Intelligence gathering requires asking open-ended questions to encourage discussion, obtaining detailed accounts and descriptions, and clarifying information sources. A case study example showed how intelligence from a return home interview led police to identify and arrest a photographer suspected of previous sexual offenses based on additional details from the individual.

External visibility and impact for researchersClaudia Megele
ย
The document outlines steps researchers can take to increase the external visibility and impact of their research through social media. It discusses moving from being a "digital hermit" with no online presence, to having a moderate online presence by synchronizing across several platforms like Mendeley and ResearchGate. The most engaged level is being a "digital avant-garde" through having one's own website, contributing to collective platforms, creating mashups of academic content and data, and utilizing analytics and open educational resources. Researchers are challenged to raise their digital profile within 1-3 months.

Young children experience significant physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development between ages 1-3. Physically, they gain improved motor skills and body proportions change rapidly. Their brains grow substantially and abilities like symbolic thought and theory of mind emerge. Socially, they begin to understand themselves as separate from others and develop gender identities. Psychodynamically, resolutions of complexes like the Oedipus help shape their relationships and sense of self.

Emerging technologies in Higher Education - A guide for South African Higher ...Daniela Gachago
ย
This document provides an overview of a research project conducted between 2011-2013 that investigated how emerging technologies can transform teaching and learning practices in South African higher education institutions. The project involved researchers from 8 universities and 1 international NGO.

The End of โSit & Gitโ PD: Powerful, Professional Learning Communities Fueled...Public Consulting Group
ย
In the landscape of the 21st Century, education is global in its reach and personal in its impact. In order to meet the needs of students, teachers and the lifelong learners of our current generation, educational systems will need to effectively use technology to allow the learners to access content that is relevant and useful for the questions they are trying to investigate. However, the use of technology is also going to have to provide for structured opportunities for individuals to create and grow communities of learning to add depth and texture to the application of what they learn to impact the world in which they learn, live, and work.
The Pepper Online Professional Learning Network was developed as a system to provide high-quality, personalized, professional learning opportunities to a growing community of learners. An important and critical component of Pepper and its ability to support personalized learning is the capacity in the system for the creation of professional learning communities.
Educators in Pepper have the opportunity to create a personal network of instructional coaches and peers from their school, District, or across the country. Educators use these community networks to share progress as they interact with content collections, discuss course work in portfolios and discussion boards, and share chunks of content from a particular course in small groups.
It is within these communities that the individual participants have the chance to engage in a structured discussion around the challenges and successes in their education programs. The communities can be virtual or face-to-face, but in all cases, the ability to make the learning visible and communicate their results to others who are engaged in the same program, strengthens the collective learning for all.

Excerpt from psychosocial and relationship based practiceClaudia Megele
ย
An excerpt from 'Psychosocial and relationship based practice'.
Social work is fundamentally a relationship-based profession. This book offers a critical multidisciplinary analysis of case studies of social work interventions from a psychosocial and relationship-based perspective. Providing a description of each case, it draws on psychodynamic theory, object relations theory, attachment theory, relational psychoanalysis, and sociological theories and research to present a critical interdisciplinary analysis of the dynamics and the outcomes of each case. This offers the reader a holistic and practical psychosocial and relationship-based perspective in thinking about and analysing each case, and offers a host of learning that is immediately relevant to the readers' own practice.

The speech also discusses building social workers' capabilities and professional capital by emphasizing their skills in relationships, analysis, and evidence-based practice. Social workers are urged to take on more leadership and advocate for their profession to help maximize the potential of reforms under the Care Act.
