Goal / Purpose
To equip teachers to digitally empower diverse learners to connect, communicate and collaborate by creating a rich environment indulging technology in the classroom to help them evolve.
To facilitate learning in a more impactful manner by integrating technology to help make the world a smaller place with interaction beyond the classroom and classmate to virtual trips and multi-region and multi-nation interactivity to commence projects and work.
Methodology
Bridging the range of project-based learning opportunities within “phenomenon-based” curriculum redesign, relevant and meaningful to students and their communities by:-
- giving flexibility to redesign student centered learning in a more flexible K-12 education and aligning to the system to set high expectations and close achievement gaps.
- rethinking accountability for new learning models to
modernize educators and leadership development to
implement personalized learning and invest in research
on the digital equity gap.
PhD fellowship Proposal Under STEAM Education Defended by Niroj DahalNiroj Dahal
This research proposal is defended for partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. Fellowship in STEAM Education under NORHED-Rupantaran project at Kathmandu University, School of Education.
This is one of the areas we see a lot of remarkable changes every year.
It makes serious impacts on a student’s perspective on education and the learning outcomes.
It depends on a lot of factors including available resources, what options are affordable for a larger society and the changing needs or demands of the present generation students. Education trends are dynamic in nature.
Medical Education Curriculum :
1- General Need Assessment
2- Target Need Assessment
3- Goals and Objectives
4- Content and Educational Strategy
5- Implementation
6- Assessment and Evaluation
7- Maintainance, Enhancement, and Dissemination
Personalizing curriculum, pace, and support for learners can improve retention, satisfaction, and learning success while reducing time to completion and tuition costs. The successful implementation of personalized learning programs, however, requires careful coordination of data and communications and ongoing collaboration among faculty, enrollment managers, success coaches, and students.

#ForOurFuture18 UL System Conference Presentation: Online Learning - Current ...Luke Dowden
Two veterans of online learning will share their thoughts on the current state and the future of online learning. Chief online
learning officers face ongoing challenges growing, sustaining, and innovating online programs. Now that online learning
has entered the mainstream, what is its future? What fads will fade? What trends will be sustained? The audience will be
engaged throughout the presentation with opportunities to discuss the impact online learning has on technological
infrastructure, faculty support, course design, quality assurance / quality control, organizational structures, funding and
grants, and research. By sharing their experiences and insights into the current challenges and future state of online
learning, the presenters will discuss strategic and operational approaches to navigate current and future realities of online
learning. Credit to Dr. Darlene Williams for content on Future Opportunities and Context.

Too Much Screen Time: Fake News or Real Parental Concern?Julie Evans
Education leaders are perplexed by parents’ views on technology use: parents worry about too much screen time but say digital learning is important. This session will unpack current research on parents’ views and provide K-12 leaders with insights to address screen time concerns with effective messaging and real data.
For the past 14 years, the Speak Up Research Project has collected and reported on the views of 4.5 million K-12 students, educators and parents regarding digital learning. Using current and longitudinal Speak Up data, we will provide new insights into the use of games, mobile devices and digital content within learning, and counter mythology with the authentic views of students, teachers and parents regarding technology use within instruction. Going beyond anecdotes and assumptions, this interactive and eye-opening presentation will provide leaders with new metrics for evaluating the pulse of elearning in their school or district.

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

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.
