eLearning Pioneers: Transforming Teaching and Learning In Saudia Arabia with ...Una Daly
The Open Education Consortium entered a partnership in 2015 with the National Center for e-Learning and Distance Education in Saudi Arabia to offer a year-long, comprehensive eLearning Pioneers Program. Motivations for forming this partnership included:
1. The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education has a strong desire to expand access and enhance education through online and blended learning.
2. Saudi Arabian educators who want to teach online still face barriers due to assumptions that online teaching will be lower quality than traditional classroom teaching.
3. Cultural and religious restrictions on females can make online learning an attractive option for them.
4. Hosting institutions in the U.S. can benefit from having a cultural and information exchange with educators from another country.
The core of the program is built on sharing the principles of online learning in the U.S. and providing mentoring and internships to prepare female faculty and university leaders with skills in online and blending learning. Over forty participants from multiple universities and disciplines were nominated by their universities to learn and apply best online teaching techniques and practices and also interact in-person with U.S. faculty and administrators engaged in online learning at leading universities and colleges. Providing a strong foundation in eLearning tools and techniques, pedagogy, and learning theory the goal is for participants to bring back these new skills and strategies to better educate the Saudi population of girls and women.
Participants entered either a leadership or instructional cohort based on their university roles and mentoring, training, and summer internships were customized to support those roles.
Each participant developed a Personal Development Plan to capture their goals for the year-long program. These plans were reviewed with a mentor and updated throughout the year. Summer placements were provided at community colleges, state universities, and private colleges and universities in California, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
We will share participant reflections on different phases of the program as they progressed from personal development planning to earning an online teaching certificate, interacting with faculty and staff at U.S. colleges and universities, to implementing the new ideas back home.
This document introduces several of the author's friends from different stages of her life. It describes how she met her best friend Brook in preschool and they have been close ever since. It also mentions friends from elementary school like Holly, friends from her whole life like Eryn, a friend Ben who moved to town in 5th grade, more recent friends from high school like Logan and Lucas, and her brother Jacob who she is very close with. The author provides short descriptions of each friend and anecdotes about their friendship.
The document appears to be birthday wishes for someone named Adiii. It contains greetings and well wishes from friends on her birthday. They mention getting her a small gift and cake to celebrate. They also express excitement for her to open her present from them at the end and hope that she likes it. The friends sign off by saying they three friends, Saniya, Neha and Megha, want to wish her a happy and prosperous birthday in their own style.
