Mr. S.N Ntanzi gave a presentation on MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) on August 3, 2015. MOOCs aim for unlimited online participation via interactive forums and are open access. They were discovered in 2008 by Dave Cormer and developed in response to an open online course by George Siemens and Stephen Downes. There are two types of MOOCs: cMOOCs which focus on connectivity and group work, and xMOOCs which use a behaviorist model and computer programs. MOOCs allow students to access education through lecture videos and music which are important for learners of different styles.
The document summarizes a presentation given about an internet pilot project established in the rural village of Mapaki, Sierra Leone. It describes the installation of a VSAT system powered by solar panels that provides internet access to the community. The facility is used by a community library and schools to connect with partners in Canada via email, video conferences, and a school networking project. The project aims to facilitate international collaboration, but faces challenges in securing long-term funding to maintain the internet access beyond 2012.
Podcasting, online video, slidecasting and slidesharing can play multiple roles in libraries and information organizations. They can be used for information literacy instruction, promoting accessibility of resources, and preserving talks and events. These tools provide instruction in an engaging format that appeals to different learning styles. They also allow libraries to enhance their services cost-effectively while saving librarians' time. These methods are seen as enhancements to existing work by connecting to current goals of providing equal access to information.
Opening Up ICT Education: Open Source, Open Textbooks, Open Courses, and Open Access Journals
The open source pioneers launched the “open” movement in the 1990s with the promotion of freely reusable software and community development. Since that time open textbooks, open courses, and open-access journals have joined the disruptive “open” movement. IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization, recently announced that all its peer-reviewed journals will offer open-access publishing. Come and find out about the repositories for open textbooks, open courses, and journals that you can freely reuse in your ICT classroom to lower costs and enhance your teaching.
This session will help attendees to understand the current open education movement in the context of the early open source initiative and how that eventually lead to the open course movement, open textbooks, and open access journal publishing.
The presenter will share the IEEE and ACM policy studies of transformig their scholarly journal business from an “all rights reserved” to “open access option” publishing model. In addition, recent California state higher education policy and legislation that has been supportive of open educational practices to lower costs for students will be discussed.
Finally, attendees will have an opportunity to explore national and international repositories for open courses, open textbooks, and open access journals that can be freely re-used in community college ICT classrooms.
Open educational resources (OER) provide teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for anyone to use, with some allowing modified copies to be distributed. The document discusses several examples of OER, including Connexions which hosts a global repository contributed by anyone, and Khan Academy which provides over 800 YouTube tutorials on math, science and finance. It also mentions Wikiversity for pre-school through post-secondary education resources, and Wikimedia Commons which contains public domain and freely-licensed educational media like images and video clips. The goal of OER is to make educational content more openly accessible consistent with copyright rules.

Definitions and Knowledge in Successive Educational MediaSteve McCarty
The document discusses how definitions and knowledge have been understood through successive educational media. It argues that definitions are often incomplete and change over time and between disciplines. Knowledge is best understood as expertise that is constructed by learners, rather than something that can be transmitted or stolen. As new media emerge, they redefine previous media and how concepts are understood. This is illustrated through the example of podcasting and how it affected understandings of music players, offline media, and educational applications.

The document discusses the culture of games and strategies for ensuring the future success of games. It suggests either mastering existing genres by fully understanding the market and how to make the game appealing, or expanding into new markets by appealing to non-gamers and incorporating other interests of gamers. Both approaches can work but also fail. It provides an example of the Game Boy Advance trying to appeal to sentiments of today's youth through a "Tribal Edition" that allows expression of rebellion, individuality, and spirituality through gaming.
The document discusses several topics related to the film industry in 2007, including:
1. The Hollywood studio system had become highly consolidated, with the six major studios controlling over 90% of the North American market.
2. DVD and Blu-ray technologies were being pushed primarily to redistribute power between media companies rather than provide new features to consumers. Copy protection measures on these formats were easily cracked.
3. The internet posed a major threat to the Hollywood system through widespread piracy. Billions spent on copy protection failed to curb illegal downloading and streaming, which accounted for over two-thirds of viewing globally.

This document discusses the benefits of using podcasting in education. It notes that podcasting allows for flexibility and accessibility of content for students with different learning styles. While not all students may benefit equally from audio-based instruction, podcasts can be an effective supplement when designed based on an understanding of individual learning preferences. The document provides guidance on how to create podcasts using free, easy-to-use software and export them for playback on digital devices. It concludes that podcasting is a valuable educational tool when it caters to diverse student learning styles.
Podcasts and vodcasts are digital media files that are distributed online through syndicated downloads or streams. Podcasts are audio-only and delivered through RSS feeds, while vodcasts are video files that can also be delivered through RSS. Both require a media player and internet connection to access. They provide an accessible way to deliver content but have disadvantages like lack of interaction and potential technical barriers. Recommendations include using them as part of blended learning and ensuring accessible high-speed internet.
This document discusses the potential use of podcasts for teaching large undergraduate humanities courses with 300-600 students. It defines podcasts and explains that they allow digital files to be easily distributed over the internet for playback on computers or portable devices. The document finds that podcasts are an inexpensive and easy way to provide lecture recordings for students to review or if they miss class. For this particular audience of mainly 18-24 year olds, most own portable audio devices and podcasts could help engage second language learners. The benefits of using podcasts for this course are outlined as providing access to lectures for all students and enhancing learning through additional review and revision opportunities outside of class.
Podcasting has grown rapidly since being introduced in 2004. It allows audio files to be distributed over the internet for users to access on demand. Duke University distributed iPods to first year students in 2004 and found benefits like convenience, location-independent access to materials, and enhanced student engagement. However, they also encountered challenges integrating the technology and limitations of the devices. Podcasting has potential to make learning more accessible and is a useful supplement for distance learning.
Slides for the presentation by Chris Hull (St Mary's University College, Twickenham), for the UKCLE event, Enhancing legal education in Wales, 29 April 2010.
This document discusses podcasting and its uses in education. It begins by defining podcasts and their advantages for learning, such as being accessible anywhere and anytime. It then discusses several studies that examined using podcasts in higher education courses. Generally, the studies found that podcasts were useful for allowing students to review lectures they missed or helping with exam preparation. However, students still valued in-person lectures and interaction with instructors. The document concludes by suggesting podcasts could benefit large undergraduate courses by ensuring all students can access lectures, while not replacing valuable in-class time.

It notes that digital media can provide flexible, scalable, and affordable workflows and processes when approached systematically. Examples provided include using lecture capture, screencasting, and media-enhanced feedback to provide flexible teaching for both in-person and online students. Metrics show that digital media sites like Oxford's iTunes U site have had over 9.5 million downloads, demonstrating digital media can be measured. The document advocates adopting digital media but notes it must be done cost-effectively without being a financial burden.
How I Tunes U And Podcasting Are Transforming The Academic Experience?Bahar Anahmias
Podcasting and iTunes U are transforming higher education by allowing students to access course materials like lectures anytime on their mobile devices. Some universities are fully embracing these technologies by making all their course content available on iTunes U, while others are taking a more gradual approach and only providing supplemental materials. While these new methods offer flexibility for students, they also pose challenges for universities and academics in adapting teaching styles and managing their professional identities in a changing educational landscape.
Podcasting involves distributing digital media files over the internet for playback on portable devices and computers. The term refers both to the series of content and the syndication method. Podcasts allow automatic transfer of audio files to mobile devices after download. They are distinguished from other formats by their ability to be subscribed to and automatically updated. Uses of podcasting include lectures, interviews, distance learning, and facilitating self-paced learning. Podcasting can help education by allowing remote speakers and accessibility for different learners.
This is the first in a series a four learning labs on podcasting in education at South Mountain Community College presented by MCLI, the Maricopa Center for Learning & Instruction. Presentation is accompanied by a wiki: http://drcoop.pbwiki.com/PodcastingTheoryPractice
Introduction to Podcasting in Higher Educationjsnugent
The document discusses the use of podcasting in education. It defines podcasting as multimedia files that are distributed online through RSS feeds and can be downloaded for playback on devices like iPods. It notes that while the technology of downloadable audio is not new, podcasting makes it easy to publish, subscribe to, and access content across different environments. It then reviews research that found students listen to lecture podcasts for review and convenience, and that accessing podcasts through RSS feeds increased downloads. However, studies have not shown podcasting positively or negatively impacts learning outcomes.
This document discusses how webcasting and podcasting can be used to support student learning through universal design for learning (UDL). It provides examples of how audio and video content created by teachers and students can be used to engage students and meet education standards. Recommendations are made for free or low-cost tools and online resources that can be used to create and share this multimedia content.
The document discusses the high cost of traditional college textbooks and proposes open textbooks as a solution. It outlines some of the flaws in the traditional textbook market structure that give publishers too much power and lead to rising prices. Open textbooks are proposed as an alternative that are free to students, customizable by instructors, and can be collaboratively authored and peer-reviewed. Several examples of open textbook projects and collections are provided. The benefits of open textbooks for students, instructors, and colleges are discussed.
Distance Education at College of the Redwoods has seen steady growth over the past few years. Support structures for online students include online tutorials, a support ticketing system, and phone/email assistance from the DE support team. The college also partners with local organizations to enhance IT services for students. Grants have supported expanding career technical education and analytics courses online. Tools like the learning management system and proctoring software help enable quality online instruction. Going forward, the college aims to increase faculty collaboration, expand advising, and leverage technologies to lower costs while enhancing flexibility.

This article discusses seven techniques for taking more interesting photographs: following the rule of thirds when composing shots, varying the angle of view, using perspective to draw the eye, including focal points, using a timer to avoid camera shake, playing around to find unique shots, and learning your camera's capabilities.
This document discusses using blogs to create community in the classroom. It notes that blogs allow for reflection, help shy students express themselves, and can be used for class journals, research journals, and student-created learning paths. While blogs have a steeper learning curve than email, they create ownership for students and links to learning when the instructor sets up a central class blog with assignments, pictures, and links to resources. Clear instructions, guidelines, and rubrics are needed to prepare students to use blogs successfully.
This document discusses concept maps and brainstorming techniques. It provides an overview of the roots and different types of concept maps, including continuums, clustering, fishbone maps, cycle maps, and Venn diagrams. It also discusses the technology used to create concept maps, including paper and pencil, software tools, and collaborative online options. Finally, it provides additional resources for learning more about concept mapping.
Seven Principles of Effective Teaching OnlineGeoff Cain
This is an online learning presentation of the seven principles of effective teaching by Chickering. We explore the questions of whether there is a real difference in face-to-face and online teaching and how we implement these principles.
The document discusses open source software as an alternative to commercial software for educational institutions. It notes that open source software is free for students and educators, can be customized to needs, and is updated by users. However, it also points out challenges like a lack of single responsibility and works in progress. The document provides examples of open source software and resources to find and learn more about open source options.
This is an introduction to Second Life for instructors who are new to it. This is the prelude to "Teaching in Virtual Worlds" to be held afterwards at the same conference on Teaching and Learning here in Spokane, WA.
PowerPoint as an Interactive Teaching ToolGeoff Cain
PowerPoint can be an effective interactive teaching tool if used properly, but it also has some drawbacks if overused or used passively. When used interactively with activities like questions, games, and focusing exercises, it can help students engage with and process information. However, it tends to oversimplify information if it becomes the sole delivery method with too many bullet points and not enough discussion. The key is to use PowerPoint to supplement other materials and activities, not replace discussion or other learning methods.
1. The document discusses how virtual worlds like Second Life are being used for teaching and learning, providing examples of classrooms, models, simulations, and role-playing scenarios created in Second Life.
2. Some examples of educational uses in Second Life include business law classes at Bradley University, English courses at Ball State University, and medical simulations at Tacoma Community College.
3. The document advocates for using virtual worlds to increase interactivity and engaged learning through techniques like virtual field trips, interactive models, simulations, role-playing, and group work.
A wiki is an editable web page that allows for collaboration, with each page containing a discussion board, page history, and feed. It provides a collaborative workspace where pages can be edited and modified by users, and includes features like discussion boards and page histories to track changes over time. Users can get help with wikis from Geoff Cain in the Distance Learning & Multimedia Services department if needed.
This document discusses how educators can use various Web 2.0 tools to enhance learning. It outlines tools like RSS feeds, blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, online productivity suites, and social media sites that allow for interactive content, user participation, and dynamic content. The document suggests asking how instructors could create assignments in their disciplines using collaborative technologies.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
