E-LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES AND HUMAN LEARNING PROCESSijejournal
Learning has been a recurrent and inseparable activity of human being since ever. People have been
inventing and discovering various methods and techniques to improve its acquisition process and ways.
One’s progress and development has always been evolutionary as regards to learning versatility. One has
come to know various tactics, techniques and technologies according to the developing circumstances. But
now, in the 21st century, it may be said that this process cannot be termed as evolutionary as it was in its
place a revolutionary phenomenon. Science and technology changes the whole internal mindset as well as
external perspective. Computer changes the whole scenario. With its introduction, the conception of
electronic era emerged. Electronic learning opened a new chapter in the history of human education and
knowledge. Virtual classroom concept came into being. Interactive means changed altogether. All these
means prove to be effective in the human learning process.
A lifelong learning plan is a written, well-thought of strategy to continuously gain, absorb, and build skills and knowledge and apply these throughout the life of an individual.

GENDER SENSITIZATION TOWARDS FUTURE GADGETS IN EDUCATIONorajjournal
Tomorrow’s future is strictly based on today’s students. Students are considered as a preliminary basic
building block for the construction of huge society. Thus, the student’s must be expected to develop good
moral skills not only for their basic necessities or requirements but to groom themselves as an essential
part of country’s economic growth and technological advancements. The task of teacher here plays an
important role nomatter whether s/he is a mentor, guider, philosopher, educator or an expert, whose
responsibility is not just to inculcate appropriate skills in the minds of students but inside and outside the
classroom activities also. The expected future scenario is quite different from the present traditional
classroom situation. The classroom does not mean confined only to the four walls of a room, but it should
inculcate the use of latest tools, devices and gadgets in modern classroom teaching practices. The
paradigm shift has been taken place for the transmission of learning to reshape the classroom for global
perspectives in order to fulfill the visions of 2020. The paper has the objective to find out the opinion of
students towards utilizing future gadgets that can be used for educational purposes. The findings show that
a vast majority of students have positively opined towards utilizing the future gadgets in classroom
practices. This study will highlight the student’s interest towards global competition in terms of their own
standpoint in the world.

Modern Teacher: Skills And Methods To Improve The Educational ProcessRita Lee
A great part of students’ success is in teacher’s hands. That is why apart from the modern approaches each person, who dares to call himself a teacher, should possess a number of skills that will contribute to the effectiveness of education. Development of these skills and use of the best innovative methods are the key components of the successful and efficient education and only a teacher is responsible for both of these two constituents.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1.4 modern child centered education - mahatma gandhi-2.pptx
Flipped Classes
1. FLIPPED CLASSES
Among educational buzzwords this is for sure the one with the highest
pitches nowadays. The flooding of classrooms with new technologies has
led to new approaches to classic lectures and traditional educational
strategies, and Flipped Classes can be a good one if applied with common
sense.
The elements involved have to be wellknown
to better appreciate the scope of this
emerging philosophy:
1. Actors: teachers, students and parents. Each one of them will see things differently,
and knowing how to make them buy your new proposition will be the key to your
success.
2. Processes: lesson preparation, outside of classroom time, inside of classroom time,
evaluation.
WHAT
It’s an alternative to the traditional teacher/lecture centered approach. In a flipped strategy
classroom contents are multimedia based and are accessed through some LMS outside of
school. Classroom time is used to deepen that homeacquired
knowledge using other
strategies, as project based learning, collaborative tasks, etc.
For teachers it is a great way to improve lessons’ structure. Resources can be mapped from
the syllabus and new activities can be implemented for classroom time. For students it can
be challenging, after all you are taking them out of their classical school environment. But
they are also given the opportunity to be in charge of their own education, and they can even
2. set their own pace in the process. For parents it’s an excellent opportunity to take part and
track their children’s education.
WHY
Our world is changing. New technologies are gaining power, societies are readapting their
habits and schools should improve in the same manner. Our students, who are used to
manipulate complex devices like mobile phones, are getting more and more bored in front of
paper books and crave for multimedia based, dynamic, colourful, and interactive contents.
A teacher can find a great ally in flipping to engage his students, apply new techniques and
create a personal reusable repository of wellselected
contents. But not only teachers,
students can also take advantage of being empowered and trusted. For them it could be
seen like being abandoned in the middle of the dessert, but let’s not forget that
constructivism also deals with uncertainty, and that’s a relevant factor for learning
reinforcement.
WHEN
There are two whens. The first one is related to preparation. The more quality contents you
want, the more time you will have to expend curating them. Anyway it’s important not to be
over exigent about them and check their effectiveness (some polls can be done to know the
opinion of your students). Your repository should be something flexible and dynamic. If it’s
not, then it mightn't work.
The second when is about the time students invest at home, i.e, when should students work
after school? That's a tricky question as you lose control of them after they have got out of
school. Each student will have a different agenda: sports, music, etc. Then this factor
shouldn't preoccupy us excessively, but keeping a record of your students’ complains about
not having enough time could be of help for strategy improvement. If out of school time is
scarce, flipping could be approached differently.
WHERE
For teachers, where can quality materials be found? My own strategy was to curate a good
PLE with plenty of resources classified in: presentations, social networking, documentaries
and videos, research, production, publication, citation, collaboration, storage, project
management, coding, and augmented reality and virtual worlds. Have a look at one of my
boards at Symbaloo which I use in my lessons to teach PLEs to my 13 yearold
pupils. What
you shouldn't do is just scan your notes, save to a PDF and publish it. There wouldn't be any
engagement.
For students the where refers to what place to check lesson’s contents. Forget computers
and focus on mobile devices. In fact those are the ones accompanying teenagers everywhere.
3. It's more likely to find a student laying on the sofa, sitting on a bench in the park, or waiting in
a mall's entrance for his friends with a mobile on his palm than seeing him sitting down in
front of a computer at home. Make it flexible and affordable for them.
HOW
And finally the howto’s.
For teachers it is about how to set up an effective LMS, look for
engaging resources, do engage students, and make the rest of the parts involved participate
constructively.
LMSs include Moodle (my favourite one and free of charge), Google Apps for Education,
TalentLMS or Edmodo among many others. You can bet for one option or weave a
combination of them, being the second option more preferable. Moodle is great to track
your students' activity, workshops (students grading other students), do exams and to
gamify your lessons, while Google rules with documents and realtime
collaboration.
Keep in mind your students remain the same (so what you take in count for common classes
should be considered likewise for your LMS), they need to communicate, tell things, show off,
wear mobile devices, only fix their attention for a short time, want recognition, socialise,
want practical, close to their lives exercises and ask for colourful and interactive means. Even
more, they should be given the opportunity to reflect what they have inside their minds to
better settle it down. Thus, take advantage of such profile. Flipping is just a framework
where to apply many other strategies (gamification, project based learning, multiple
intelligences, role playing, etc), but the participants are still the same.
Let me shed some light and make things practical through the following example:
A lesson about Natural Sciences: mass, volume, density, pressure and temperature are the
concepts to work with. I want my students to read the definitions, see a couple of videos,
manipulate a simulation and write the conclusions in teams. Maximum estimated time
outside school: 30 mins.
I set up two/three conditional activities in Moodle so they will be hiding and will appear
consecutively. Videos are selected from YouTube and some simulations from PHET.
Students will accomplish these tasks on their own or in teams. Final conclusions will be
written in a shared Google doc in teams. Each student will make a quick test exam in Moodle.
Having completed everything the team will be granted a badge and be put in a leaderboard
(gamification’s PBL model).
Next day in the classroom we'll discuss about the concepts, experiments, conclusions and
corrections. Each team will publish its own work in a blog or site and will score other teams'
work in a Moodle workshop. That will be used as a final grade percentage, only earned if a
minimum amount of badges have been collected during the term. As new lessons are
analysed students will go on curating their own PLE. That will also be scored.
4.
5. THE CONS
It’d be impossible not to find detractors and complains. Don’t avoid problems or give up.
Improvise! Rearrange! Reschedule! Hybridize!
1. Teachers
a. It’s more work: yes, indeed... in the beginning, but once it's done you can reuse
it over and over. Work in teams or involve the whole department to better
distribute the workload. Look up other teachers’ works in the Internet. Plan
smartly and make your work be accessible and easily reviewable.
b. I need to know about new technologies: go stepbystep
adding new
elements to your flipped classes, don’t try to be a sage too prematurely.
c. It’s a change in my working routine: start with a hybrid approach (and don't
forget the fun). More time and effort is needed, but after everything is done
you’ll have much more free time periods to be invested in other tasks.
d. It’s difficult to find resources: start simple with some Youtube videos and look
for interesting PLEs in websites like Symbaloo or Delicious.
e. I can’t track my students: Moodle does it for you. Don’t forget to devise a
contingency plan for lazy students.
f. It’s not flexible: it is! You have total control over your resources and strategy.
g. I don't trust third party systems: install your own LMS. For about 40€ a year
you can have a domain and a Linux based space in a server. Moodle installation
is way easy to do. For sure there’s a Computer Scientist in your school to help
the team.
2. Students
a. I need to spend extra time: it’s true, that’s why you teacher should be careful
about it. Micro lessons and hybrid approaches can be a good starting point.
b. I feel helpless: give quality materials, make students help each other, provide
with forums, chats and the like, value the effort they’ve made, not only the
results.
c. I don't have any laptop or PC: open up the computer room in your school.
d. I get distracted (as it happens inside the classroom): make your lessons very
social so the students will have to be communicating all the time. That’ll give
them a chance to stay more focused as social collaboration is very natural.
3. Parents
a. I don’t want to get involved: it’s comprehensible. Don’t force it and let them
know it’s something optional and that their children are perfectly assisted.
b. I pay for the education of my children: wrap your flipped lessons as homework.
Some parents could think you’re not doing your work as you should.
c. I can’t help my children: many parents haven’t attended school or University, or
they’ve just forgotten everything. Just let them know their participation is
optional and that their children can go ahead on their own.
6.
7. CONCLUSIONS
Flipped classes is a good framework to deliver your lessons, as long as its use is flexible and
realistic. For the worst case scenarios hybrid approaches can do the trick. In any case it’s very
important for your students and parents to be convinced that flipping is a good idea,
otherwise voices contrary to it could ruin your plans. And don’t forget about polling and
measuring to better know how things are developing. Good luck!
