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 of its impact has been 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' varying digital skills and the personal nature of education limit productivity gains from technology. More interactive courseware and tools for simulation and communities of practice show potential if developed with strong instructional design.
Academic Staff Development in the Area of Technology Enhanced Learning in UK ...eLearning Papers
This paper reports on a study on staff development in the area of technology enhanced learning in UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that took place in November, 2011. Data for this study were gathered via an online survey emailed to the Heads of e-Learning Forum (HeLF) which is a network comprised of one senior staff member per UK institution, leading the enhancement of learning and teaching through the use of technology. Prior to the survey, desk-based research on some universities’ publicly available websites gathered similar information about staff development in the area of technology enhanced learning. The online survey received 27 responses, approaching a quarter of all UK HEIs subscribed to the Heads of e-Learning forum list (118 is the total number). Both pre-1992 (16 in number) and post-1992 Universities (11 in number) were represented in the survey and findings indicate the way this sample of UK HEIs are approaching staff development in the area of TEL.

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.

20. A specific case: Open Educational Resources
(OER)
• OER = teaching, learning and research materials
that make use of appropriate tools, such as open
licensing, to permit their free re-use, continuous
improvement and re-purposing by others
– Any type or form
– Mostly, though not exclusively, in digital format
– Allowing for re-use, revise, re-mix and re-distribute
(the ‘four Rs’ of OER)
• OER are not a technological innovation, but they are
a force of social and educational innovation made
possible by technology
23. • Education is a heavily personalised service, so
productivity gains through technology are limited,
especially in the teaching & learning process
• Impact of technology on educational delivery remains
sub-optimal
– Over-estimation of digital skills among teachers AND students
– Naïve policy and implementation strategies
– Resistance of teachers AND students
– Lack of understanding of pedagogy and instructional design
– Low quality of educational software and courseware
Some conclusions
24. • Some new developments seem to be more promising:
– Highly interactive, non-linear courseware, based on state-
of-the-art instructional design
– Sophisticated software for experimentation, simulation
– Social media to support learning communities and
communities of practice among teachers
– Use of gaming in instruction
• Dialogue with ‘education industry’:
– Global Education Industry Summit, organised by OECD,
European Commission and Finland, in Helsinki on 19-20
October 2015
Some conclusions
An increasingly digitalised environment in education
Computer and digital resources are increasingly present in schools
The quality of these resources is an important input for teaching and learning processes
On average across OECD countries, about three quarters of students attend schools with adequate Internet connectivity and computer equipment to support student learning, according to school principals’ reports.
At the school level, in 32 countries and economies, principals’ perceptions about the adequacy of the educational
resources in their school are positively related to the school’s average performance (Table IV.3.16, which is discussed in
Chapter 3). However, schools with more adequate educational resources are also those that have other characteristics
closely related to higher performance.
But, even after accounting for the socio-economic status and demographic profile
of students and schools and various other school characteristics, in Qatar, Romania and Costa Rica schools with more
adequate resources tend to perform better. This suggests that much of the impact of socio-economic
status on performance is mediated by the resources invested in schools.
Index includes 6 components of school resources: computers, connectivity, educational software, instructional materials (e.g. textbooks) , science lab equipment, library materials.
In 29 of the 38 countries and economies with comparable data, there is an increase in the index of quality of schools’ educational resources.
The overall trend among OECD countries, that a lack of educational resources hinders the school’s capacity to provide instruction to a lower extent in 2012 than in 2003, was observed across
all school types (advantaged and disadvantaged students, advantaged and disadvantaged schools, private and public schools, lower and upper secondary programmes, and urban and rural schools).
Largest improvements observed in Turkey, Poland, Uruguay and the Russian Federation.
In Turkey, for example, students are more than 40 percentage points less likely to attend schools whose principal reported that a lack of instructional
materials (e.g. textbooks) or computer software for instruction hinders the school’s capacity to provide instruction.
Across the EU, around 75% of students at all grades are taught by experienced teachers with more than four years of using ICT at school.
The most frequent ICT-based activities at EU level are related to the preparation of teaching activities: around 30-45% (depending the specific activity concerned) of students are taught by teachers declaring they do this every or almost every day, or at least once a week.
Creating digital resources and using the school website or virtual learning environment also happens every or almost every day, or at least once a week, for teachers of respectively around 30% and 20% of students.
The low use of digital resources and tools is a concern. Digital textbooks and multimedia tools are the resources most frequently used. However, only 30% of students use them once a week or almost every day, but more than 50% of students at all grades never or almost never use such resources.
Teachers as designers is one vision articulated in the statements - acting as ‘curators’ ‘picking up on new trends, research, pedagogies, technology, content and seeing how they can be put to use in a new context.’
Cooperation, collaboration and the creation of communities of practice is essential. Drawing on evidence from international research is also widely seen as a necessary means to inform change.
In their different systems, teachers are engaged in learning experiences that are co-created, connected, personalised, and integrated, while representing large scale professional learning, intervention and diffusion.
Technology is identified as an integral means for such collaboration and professional learning to work.
