Global Faculty Development for Online Language Education Steve McCarty
Distinguished Speaker presentation at the International Webinar held on October 1, 2020 in New Delhi by the School of Foreign Languages, Indira Gandhi National Open University. This presentation shows how global faculty development represents surprisingly specific actions to bring educators and university faculties up to global academic standards. We could be heroes with online presence and achievements that bring individual recognition and higher global rankings. In the current world situation, teaching online is suddenly universal, and lifestyles will continue largely online. For language teachers, the presentation will consider many educational technologies, whether needing high data processing or preferably low bandwidth, and useful for teachers as well as students.
Online Education as an Academic DisciplineSteve McCarty
The author's 40th Slideshare is the opening presentation at the Online Teaching Japan Summer Sessions on August 24, 2020 at 10-11:30 (Watch for the Zoom URL or recording later). This presentation places online education in a disciplinary context, charting historical, pedagogical, institutional and cultural dimensions of e-learning. The evolution of online academic conferences will be of particular relevance to this event. Online education will be seen in a broad sense, and as a pan-disciplinary set of meta-skills beyond subject matter expertise.
Symposium on Utilizing Emerging Technologies and Social Media to Enhance EFL ...Steve McCarty
This symposium presentation at the International Association of Applied Linguistics AILA 2014 World Congress in Brisbane, Australia examines the impact and potential of communication technologies in learning EFL. Case studies focusing on higher education in Japan show how mobile technologies and social media could improve language acquisition in Asian EFL contexts and beyond. Teaching with sound pedagogies and communication technologies, accessed by computers and hand-held devices, can bring about better outcomes through ubiquitous language learning. Impacts can span from better language comprehension to active involvement in learning communities generated in cyberspace. This symposium will thus detail how these emerging technologies are utilized to reform EFL classroom practices. The international presenters, based at five different universities, will theoretically and practically examine factors for successful EFL learning with emerging technologies. M-learning can generate contexts for active learning with learners as agents and creators rather than spectators or recipients of knowledge. We will particularly examine a) how to implement m-learning in institutional settings, b) what makes learners willingly use mobile devices and become involved in social contexts they themselves generate, and c) how teachers can help learners with scaffolding to develop agency as individuals who voluntarily engage with the social context. Among the emerging technologies demonstrated are Social Media, such as Facebook and Twitter, media players like iPods, tablet computers like iPads, iBooks Author for interactive, illustrated, multimedia artifacts that students can also create, and blended e-learning using a content management system and smart phones for m-learning. These studies will shed light on motivational attitudes towards these technologies for language learning, and measure how these tools have impacted L2 acquisition. This slideshow combining the five presentations in the symposium was lost after AILA failed to post it as promised, then rediscovered after five years.

Anderson, N., & Hajhashemi, K. (2013). Online Learning: From a specialized distance education paradigm to a ubiquitous element of contemporary education. IEEE, 2(13), 91-94.
Abstract: This paper provides a literature overview of the increasing importance of online learning across all modes of instruction, whether they take place in higher education, school-based or informal education. It then moves to discussing the current situation regarding the Australian university sector and then provides an example of the same subject offered in a School of Education across four different modes – two being face to face and two by distance. The modes are reviewed to examine the use of online learning with the common subject and assessment being the control.
This paper expounds the negative effect of E-learning in respect that E-learning commits harm to learners'
health, results in "lost in internet", strengthens learners' separation from real world, weakens learners'
logical ability and eases face- to- face interactive relationship. It points E-learning is not the perfect
solution to studying, for the hope of arousing people's focus on negative effective of E- learning so as to
evade misuse in practice.
Virtual Community in Interactive Teaching: Five CasesIOSR Journals
Abstract: Modern teaching methods demand innovative and effective use of technology at utmost level.
Incorporating a virtual community outside classroom teaching has become inevitable in digital age education.
This research was intended to find out how this can be used in terms of interactive teaching and how it can
facilitate students to recover the lacks of learning in classroom. A web community of a university called
Learning Feedback System (LFS) has been used here as the methodology to analyze five sample cases. Effects of
a significant level of interaction in LFS indicated that it helped to reduce the communication gap between
students and teachers that of course leading to proper learning.

A Study on Awareness and Usage of Social Network among Teachers Educators in ...ijtsrd
Social networks have significant impact on the changing scenario of education It is the fundamental necessity of teacher educators. Teacher educators make use of the social networking to learn and communicate. Through the social networking, the teacher educator can find knowledge resources in any discipline. They can also share their discipline. They can share their ideas in any part of the world through, World Wide Web. E mail. Facebook and whatsapp and twitter. It leads to improve thinking and learn concepts. Social networks helps to communicate with other students and teacher educators which provide sharing Of lessons or the specific classroom problems and social issues. G. Guru Prakash Raja | Dr. T.

A STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF ONLINE TEACHING IN HIGHER EDUCATIONIAEME Publication
The Covid-19 pandemic caused a great deal of fear among people all across the world, and the education sector was no exception. In particular for the educational institutions that were entirely offline, this caused a fast, drastic shift from "brick and mortar" to online instruction. The current research study compares face-to-face instruction to online instruction to understand the students' perspectives. Graduate students (UG & PG) from particular educational institutions in Hyderabad were asked to fill out a Google form survey questionnaire in order to obtain primary data. As a result, the current study also assessed how satisfied students were with their performance on numerous metrics, such as their acquisition of graduate-level competencies, which include knowledge, abilities, and behaviour.
Education is a basic need for every human being and
digital education is the current trend and necessity for every
students or learners to be more focused in their learning. In this
paper authors worked with these current phenomena. Digital
education helps students or learners to gather knowledge in
easier and different ways than before. It also reduces the learning
time. In traditional education system we were mostly dependent
on text book or in instructor’s speech. But nowadays it is easier to
find any text book or any other learning materials by using
digital educational tools. Another charismatic change that
transformed human life is social networking. In terms of digital
education social networks contribute a good portion of education.
Among social networking services, Facebook has become most
popular for communication with familiar and unfamiliar
persons. The impact of the use of Facebook on students is very
impactful. In this paper authors conducted a survey on various
students for understanding the digitalization effect on
educational purpose. Machine learning was applied for classified
the happy and unhappy student with digitalization where focused
time spent on educational purposes. Finally authors provided an
analytical summary of digitalization effect on education based on
their survey.

Two Ways to Look at Life | The Only StoryDilip Barad
There were two ways of looking at life; or two extremes of viewpoint, anyway, with a continuum between them.
One proposed that every human action necessarily carried with it the obliteration of every other action which might have been performed instead; life therefore consisted of a succession of small and large choices, expressions of free will, so that the individual was like the captain of some paddle steamer chugging down the mighty Mississippi of life.
The other proposed that it was all inevitability, that pre-history ruled, that a human life was no more than a bump on a log which was itself being propelled down the mighty Mississippi, tugged and bullied, smacked and wheedled, by currents and eddies and hazards over which no control was possible.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

2. The movement in this workshop is from theosisto praxis . . . Best results are generated at the end of the day, only if best ideas are generated at the beginning of the day. 12/19/2009 2 Dr. Dilip Barad: dilipbarad@gmail.com: Bhavnagar University
3. Questions… What is web 2.0 tools? What to ‘enhance’? What is ‘teaching-learning experience’? How to use tools? How to enhance teaching learning experience? WHY ??? 12/19/2009 3 Dr. Dilip Barad: dilipbarad@gmail.com: Bhavnagar University
4. I. Why? Learning Styles No two individuals are similar, neither in their teaching nor in the learning styles. Each and every class is unanimously a class of mixed- ability. The IQ test of the class (or for that matter any such tests) may display common ability among the class/group but psychologically all have different abilities in their learning. 12/19/2009 4 Dr. Dilip Barad: dilipbarad@gmail.com: Bhavnagar University
5. The ‘Psychological Types’ as described by C. G. Jung and Myers-Briggs Type indicator - which divides personality types along four dimensions: introvert-extrovert, sensing-intuitive, thinking-feeling, and perceiving-judging.

6. As and when the ‘Personality type theory’ is applied to the educational phenomenon, it has substantiated the existence of a variety of learning styles (and complementary teaching styles). 12/19/2009 6 Dr. Dilip Barad: dilipbarad@gmail.com: Bhavnagar University
7. No single learning style is appropriate for everyone. While some students assimilate visual information best, others prefer auditory information. While some students prefer information to be structured as facts about things, others prefer a structure based on relationships among things. While some students prefer starting with first principles and using deductive reasoning, others prefer starting with examples and using inductive approaches. (Sivilloti and Pike, 2007). 12/19/2009 7 Dr. Dilip Barad: dilipbarad@gmail.com: Bhavnagar University
8. Three types of learners: From the perspective of personality type theory, the edu-researchers have identified three main types of learners, viz. visual, auditory and tactile / kinesthetic. 12/19/2009 8 Dr. Dilip Barad: dilipbarad@gmail.com: Bhavnagar University
9. Learning Styles A. Visual (65%): B. Auditory (30%) C. Kinesthetic / tactile learner (5%) 12/19/2009 9 Dr. Dilip Barad: dilipbarad@gmail.com: Bhavnagar University
10. II. WHY? Technology??? B’coz change is the species of life… Every new age has its own problems and has to solve them … The journey – from the symbolic language of pre-historical man to the symbolic language of e-Modern teacher… Advancement form Oral – Spoken word to written word… writing is also a technique… Four major advances in pedagogy… 12/19/2009 10 Dr. Dilip Barad: dilipbarad@gmail.com: Bhavnagar University

Journal of Information Technology for Teacher Education, 6(3), pp. 227-240. A study of student teachers of English from three universities in England to establish what their attitudes were towards ICT and to identify key influences on their practice and their thinking.

Reading Research Quarterly, 36 (4),pp. 442-466. This report explores ICT-literate primary and secondary teachers' perceptions of how the internet has or has not changed the way they taught reading and writing in their classrooms. Findings indicated that the teachers viewed the internet's influence on reading and writing as an extension of traditional literacy skills but had difficulties finding internet materials written for a range of reading levels. Teachers were teaching skills of evaluating internet materials in more depth and at a much earlier stage. (USA) 12/19/2009 19 Dr. Dilip Barad: dilipbarad@gmail.com: Bhavnagar University
