The document discusses the history and current state of distance education at the University of Iceland. It outlines initial efforts starting in 1997, supported by the rector and ministry of education. While some courses were offered, there was no coherent strategy. Barriers to further expansion included a lack of consensus on the role and value of distance education, insufficient resources and technical skills, and a culture prioritizing research over teaching. For distance education to grow, it needs to become a university-wide policy through coordination between leadership, departments, technical support and other stakeholders.

ANCIL at LSE: interim findings from a survey of skills support
The document summarizes a review of information literacy support for undergraduates at the London School of Economics conducted by Jane Secker and Maria Bell. Through staff interviews, student focus groups, and a survey of academic support librarians, they found current support to be uneven across different skills areas and departments. Their findings will help the library and other support services better coordinate and embed information literacy instruction in collaboration with academic departments.
Seamless learning
The presentation discusses best practice approaches and metrics for evaluation that support seamless learning with social media. We draw upon the theoretical frameworks of social learning theory, transfer learning (bricolage), and educational design patterns to elaborate upon different ideas for ways in which social media can support seamless learning. To exemplify how social media can support seamless learning we follow up with presenting three case studies on the organizational level, on the program level, and on the individual level. Each case study analyzes the context for the use of social media, followed by a discussion of how social media serves as a catalyst for seamless learning.

Benefits of educational technology in education
Educational technology provides several benefits to education including increasing student motivation and self-esteem, promoting higher-level thinking skills, and supporting new instructional approaches like cooperative learning and problem-based learning. It also supplies stimulating learning environments, offers self-paced and individualized learning, and expands educational opportunities beyond the classroom.

How can technology change the way we teach and learn stoa, 6 may 2015
This document discusses how technology can change the way we learn and teach. It explores how technology is impacting skills demand and educational delivery. While technology has been touted as revolutionizing education, evidence on its impact is mixed. The document outlines some promising ways technology could enhance education, such as expanding access to content, supporting new collaborative pedagogies, and providing faster feedback. However, barriers like teachers' and students' limited digital skills and the personal nature of education limit productivity gains from technology. More interactive courseware and social learning tools show potential if developed with strong instructional design.

As web-enabled mobile technologies become increasingly integrated into formal learning environments, they are merging to create a new kind of classroom: CrossActionSpaces (informal-in-formal spaces) in which communicative learning takes place across traditional boundaries. The term offers a view from social sciences, emphasizes a change of human action: from pure inter-action into cross-action. Under these new conditions the question are: how to conceptualize and design for learning, how can teaching helps learning? In this keynote, Isa Jahnke presents the framework of Digital Didactical Designs (DDD) which can be used to study and to reflect on educational practices toward deeper learning expeditions.

The document discusses Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how it can be used to create inclusive classrooms that meet the needs of all students. UDL involves providing multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement through flexible methods and technologies. This allows educators to respond to individual learner differences and provide equitable access to learning for students with diverse abilities and backgrounds. The document also outlines how UDL and technology can be used to target the three primary brain networks to enhance learning.
Sharing ideas and building resources
1) Universal design for learning (UDL) aims to provide all students equal access to curriculum by designing flexible instruction that accommodates learner differences. It shifts from a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching diverse learners.
2) UDL is based on three principles - providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement. This allows for varying needs across different learning networks in the brain.
3) Implementing UDL and using tools from CAST can increase student engagement and motivation by matching their interests and preferred ways of learning. It also supports teachers in meeting the needs of diverse learners.
Marc Durando: STEM Challenges in Europe - Innovative STEM teaching
This document discusses challenges and opportunities in STEM education in Europe. It notes shortages in many STEM fields and careers as well as low enrollment rates for girls. There are calls to reform STEM curricula, which are overstuffed with facts, and pedagogy, which is often text-based. Innovative approaches are needed to make STEM studies more attractive through motivated teachers, innovative teaching methods, and engagement with industry. Teachers play a key role but face challenges around aging populations, training, technology adoption, and retention. Recommendations include learning from best practices, supporting STEM teachers, strengthening partnerships, and curriculum/assessment reform.

Festival of Learning - Seminar
The document discusses factors that influence how teachers integrate technology in their teaching practices. It analyzes data from a Digital Education Revolution program that provided laptops to teachers and students. Key findings include: individual teacher traits like confidence and experience influence technology use; subject areas differ in how technologies are used, with humanities and sciences using them more; and school culture factors like leadership support and appropriate training impact teachers' willingness to experiment with technologies. The document argues understanding these factors can help better support teachers' professional learning and technology integration.

Promoting inclusive classroom adopting udl
This document discusses promoting inclusive classrooms through adopting Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL is an educational framework that provides flexibility in how information is presented, how students respond or demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and how students are engaged. The three principles of UDL are providing multiple means of representation, multiple means of action and expression, and multiple means of engagement. UDL aims to reduce barriers in instruction by accommodating individual student differences and maintaining high expectations for all. When adopted in the classroom, UDL provides students with choices for how they learn and demonstrate their learning through flexible lesson content, methods, and assessments.

Is Lurking a problem or an opportunity
This document discusses lurkers in online learning communities. It defines lurkers as those who participate by observing but do not post or post seldom. Research suggests most community participants fall into this category, with estimates that 90% lurk, 9% occasionally post, and 1% post frequently. The document examines factors that influence lurking behavior and discusses strategies to encourage more active participation, such as fostering inclusion, providing feedback, and using interactive activities and methods like brainstorming and group discussions. The goal is to increase learning and improve the experience for all community members.
Presentation funkon16-is lurking working
This document discusses the phenomenon of lurking in online communities and learning environments. It defines lurking as participating but never posting or posting very seldom. It notes that many people participate this way, with estimates that only about 5-20% of community members actively post. It raises questions about whether lurkers are learning from their passive participation and what factors influence why some people lurk rather than actively engage. It discusses various perspectives on lurking as a legitimate strategy for peripheral learning and knowledge brokering, and factors that could encourage more active participation like inclusion, involvement, meaning, competence and positive psychology approaches.
Is Lurking a problem?
1. The document discusses the phenomenon of lurking, or passive participation, in online learning communities where some learners never post or post seldom.
2. It notes different estimates for the percentage of lurkers in communities, from the commonly cited 90-9-1 rule to a suggested 55-25-20 ratio from community managers.
3. The document examines possible reasons for lurking such as individual characteristics, situational factors, and the learning environment, and considers whether lurking should be seen as a failure or a legitimate participation strategy.
Is Lurking Working?
The document discusses lurking in online learning communities, which refers to participating without posting or posting seldom. It examines whether lurkers are learning enough and what benefits they gain from their participation. Influencing factors on lurking include the online community, individual characteristics, online behavior, and commitment. The document suggests strategies for online course designers to plan for various types of participants and encourage participation, such as providing induction, ensuring the technology works, and giving useful feedback. It also provides examples of active learning methods and activities that can be used, such as brainstorming, discussions, and support groups.
