The document discusses emerging technologies on the horizon for education, including mobile devices and apps, tablet computing, game-based learning, personal learning environments, augmented reality, and natural user interfaces. These technologies are changing how schools approach policies around mobile devices and capturing students' imagination, supporting self-directed and collaborative learning through personalized tools and bringing virtual objects to life in 3D space through augmented reality.
The world is now officially device-crazy!
Just look at the number of Mobile phones and tablets sold recently, and the number of ordinary people (not just geeks) who have a mobile device and a tablet in addition to their desktop computer, or have even dispensed with the desktop computer altogether.
It would be foolish of us to just design for desktop, or just for mobile. What we need is a way to optimize our layouts for a multitude of different screen sizes and other factors!
In this talk Chris Mills looks at media queries and viewport in detail:
Their origins in media types
Why media types failed for mobile and devices, and why media queries will succeed
Media query basics
Practical examples of how they work across modern browsers and devices
Exploring viewport - why it is needed, and how best to use viewport and MQ's together
A look forward to the future, and the @viewport proposal
Mobile first versus desktop first
The IE problem, and how we can slay that beast in this particular context
Device breakpoints versus content breakpoints. What works best?

Sage UX: How Anthropology Can Improve Your UX PracticeAnnette Priest
UX Cambridge 2012
Experienced UX practitioners often say one of their greatest skills is being able to switch perspective--seamlessly thinking of business needs one moment, and user needs the next.
Such focus can be a challenge -- working for agencies and companies creates certain bias and UXers face more demands now than ever before. At many organizations the need to belong, and become ingrained in company culture can be strong. It can be difficult to be part of the team and still maintain some neutrality.
In this session, Annette will share:
Key concepts from anthropology you can apply to your UX practice
Tips and tricks for keeping your focus on getting the answers you need
Ethical responsibilities for researchers
Lessons learned from Annette's work with different teams and cultures

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.
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.
