This document discusses the development and evaluation of an eTourism MOOC created by the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI). There were three key drivers for USI to create MOOCs: internationalization, open education, and corporate social responsibility. The eTourism MOOC was developed using the ADDIE instructional design framework. USI evaluated the MOOC using key performance indicators (KPIs) related to reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Preliminary evaluation data found over 5,000 learners from 142 countries, with 80 pursuing a certificate and 37 taking the final exam. A learner engagement survey also provided feedback.

Is Open Education a Revolution or are MOOCs only marketing instruments? Paper presentation and speech at OE Global Conference 2016 in Krakow by Dr. Christian M. Stracke (OUNL)What it means to do a Ph.D.?
Dr. Jingjing Lin, who finished her Ph.D. lately would like to share her fresh ideas about her research in Massive Open Online Courses and experiences as a previous Ph.D. student.
Design Options for Open Education
Coordinated by the OER Foundation, OERu is an independent, not-for-profit organization with 35 participating Higher Education institutions worldwide, making higher education accessible to everyone by offering free online courses and “affordable ways for learners to gain academic credit towards qualifications from recognised institutions” (McGreal, Rory, et al. 2014). The 2015 OERu evaluation follows the CIPP (context, input, process, and product) evaluation framework (Stufflebeam 2003) and focuses on “input analysis” at this stage. The evaluation aims to assess different design options and identify major challenges in online curriculum developments, nominating open courses by participating institutions, open business models, open governance, and other aspects. Issues raised in the evaluation process are not unique for OERu and will have relevance to other practitioners designing open education.

- KU Leuven invested in synchronous hybrid spaces to deal with transitions in higher education, allowing both in-person and remote participation.
- Research on student engagement in different learning settings found that students participating remotely reported lower intrinsic motivation than those participating in-person, but cognitive outcomes did not differ significantly.
- Multiple factors influence student engagement in synchronous hybrid courses, including the teacher's ability to interact and facilitate discussion, whether students feel socially connected to their peers, and the design of learning tasks and activities. Successful courses integrate set, epistemic, and social design considerations.

This document summarizes a study applying a fuzzy assessment model to evaluate operative groups in virtual educational forums. The model was developed by Ilan Chamovitz, Marcos da Fonseca Elia, and Carlos Alberto Nunes Cosenza. It has been successfully applied in formative assessment across several disciplines with some advantages and restrictions. A case study involved dividing post-graduation students into groups of 4-6 to discuss topics over a limited period via asynchronous communication and evaluating messages using the COPPE-Cosenza fuzzy model. Results found students could learn from observing others and the model provides a scalable solution for distance education assessment of large classes.

2021_06_30 «Small Interventions to Support Student Self-regulation Online »
This document discusses small interventions to support student self-regulation in online learning. It summarizes research showing that while online learning access is increasing, students can have more difficulty staying on track to achieve their goals. Several studies found that certain groups like males, younger students, and those with lower GPAs had weaker performance in online courses. The document then proposes using behavioral science interventions focused on self-regulation to provide scalable academic support. It reviews interventions testing goal setting, planning, and accountability, finding some improved short-term outcomes but limited longer-term effects. Overall, the research suggests small interventions may help engagement but have limited impact on educational outcomes.

The CLEAR Framework to Implement Active Learning in STEM Education
The document outlines the CLEAR (Create, Learn, Extend, Apply, and Remember) framework for active learning in STEM education. The framework is based on Bloom's taxonomy and promotes starting with higher-order cognitive activities like creating before remembering materials. It provides both a theoretical model and practical guidelines for implementing active learning through template courses. Ongoing work is validating the effectiveness of the CLEAR model through literature reviews, expert interviews, and controlled experiments.

Associated keynote talk can be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slIITVfOhXg&t=1433s
On February 18, 2022, I delivered a rather interesting and important talk online to a group of 60ish educators, researchers, and practitioners on teaching with Moodle in MoodleMoot Japan 2022. If the following keywords interest you, you should not miss this video: ontology, epistemology, psychology, educational paradigms, learning theories, and pedagogy. This video also for the first time introduces an original untested learning theory called by me "creation-based learning (CBL)". I embrace the learning paradigms of #constructivism and #connectivism. I also am a strong fan of constructionism. I hope CBL will be one step further to promote active learning online. In this video, I also raised the idea of "sustainable learning behaviors" and raised the attention of the public towards sustainable learning behaviors of creating, maintaining, recycling, renewing, and sharing knowledge using networked digital technologies.

How to Create a More Engaging and Human Online Learning Experience Wahiba Chair Training & Consulting
Wahiba Chair's Talk at the 2024 Learning Ideas Conference. LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
