It emphasizes learner-centered approaches where learners decide what, when, how, and how quickly to learn. Peer-to-peer interactions and social learning are important. The document also references concepts like autopoiesis, the commons, commoning, open knowledge, and constructing diversity in forms of socialization and knowledge production. Overall it promotes collaborative, relationship-based models of learning and knowledge validation that are open and distributed by nature.
2015 g. van der perre higher education for the digitalEADTU
This document outlines discussions from a group in Flanders exploring how higher education can better utilize digital technologies. It summarizes input from experts Diana Laurillard and Pierre Dillenbourg on challenges and opportunities for blended learning. The group identified 10 discussion topics and conducted university visits. The document calls for universities to think digitally and address educational challenges through innovative technology solutions. It argues digital change is a moral duty and universities should transform into more adaptive, socially impactful institutions. The goal is not just implementing tech but designing new learning experiences and environments through blended models.
The document discusses the role of digital media in science education. It describes several European projects that provide digital resources for science teachers, including Scientix and inGenious. These projects offer online communities for teachers to share resources and teaching practices, many of which incorporate digital media. The document also discusses the Future Classroom Lab, which is used to test how new technologies can enhance teaching and learning.
Citizen observatories provide an innovative learning environment by allowing participation in scientific research projects. One example is the CITCLOPS project, which designed the KdUINO buoy for measuring water quality through citizen science. The buoy uses open hardware and software, allowing makers to modify it and observers to collect data accessible to all. Citizen observatories offer roles for makers, observers, and analyzers and provide learning through research, cooperation, technology, and sustainability education. Challenges include careful activity design, teacher training, flexible school organization, cooperation, and resources.

Digital networks unsettle standard meanings of knowledge by allowing widespread circulation. This informalizes and particularizes formalized knowledge. Networks open categories and trajectories for knowledge to exit institutional controls. Critical steps are informalizing knowledge and reassembling it into novel informal mixes, which can then feed into new political and economic conditions. Two cases examined are electronic financial networks and activist networks. Both utilize distributed access and interconnectivity but produce different outcomes due to non-technical variables like user social logics and objectives. Networks do not guarantee democratic or distributive outcomes but make globality a resource for diverse actors.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

Educational technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning through the use of technology resources and processes. It draws from several fields including instructional design, media psychology, and communication theory. There are three main theoretical approaches in educational technology: behaviorism which focuses on observable behaviors and reinforcement, cognitivism which examines mental processes like memory and learning, and constructivism in which learners actively construct their own understanding. Benefits of educational technology include increased access to materials, student motivation through feedback, and enabling wider participation in learning. Critics argue that proper training and access are sometimes lacking and some implementations can be time consuming.
Help Me Help You provides food, financial literacy courses, job training, and affordable housing to help low-income individuals become self-sufficient. Their mission is to address the core issues of poverty by empowering people with the tools and resources to gain employment, overcome hunger, and obtain housing. They operate a weekly food program and transitional housing, teach financial literacy courses, and partner with local companies to provide workforce training opportunities and possible jobs.
Physical Therapist is a career that involves diagnosing and treating people of all ages who have medical problems or injuries. Physical therapists examine patients, develop treatment plans to help them move, reduce pain and prevent disability. They work indoors in hospitals, clinics and private offices, often working 40 hour weeks. Becoming a physical therapist requires a master's degree with courses in biology, anatomy and chemistry. Employment is expected to grow faster than average and salaries average $72,790 annually.
The document outlines a framework for systematically evaluating informal education and outreach programs, which often have diverse activities and diffuse audiences that make rigorous evaluation challenging. It recommends sharing best practices across agencies to improve coordination and leverage the potential for real impact through economy of scale. A variety of qualitative and quantitative data collection methods are proposed to assess programs aimed at different age groups.
This document summarizes research into citizen science projects on four platforms: Wikipedia, SciStarter, CitSci, and Precipita. The key findings are:
1) The vast majority of citizen science projects are in the natural and physical sciences, with very few projects in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
2) Volunteers in most projects primarily collect and process data, rather than engaging in collaborative or participatory research.
3) Most project designs are top-down, with researchers proposing projects for citizens to participate in, rather than bottom-up collaborations.
The MED Italian Association was founded in 1996 and has over 300 members who work in media education. It conducts research and promotes media education events. Key issues include defining media education concepts, teacher training, and collaboration with schools and media professionals.

GI Learner: A project to develop geospatial thinking learning lines in second...Karl Donert
Almost all aspects of our economy and society are based on geoinformation and geotechnologies. People are tracking, mapping and communicating geographically on an unprecedented scale. Citizens can be empowered by geospatial technologies and open geodata. The sector is booming, however there has been a clear mismatch between workforce demand and supply. Study programmes focus more on informatics than on the scientific background of spatial thinking.
This presentation seeks to introduce a newly EU funded project titled, GI-Learner: Developing a learning line on GIScience in school education. This project aims to support the introduction of GI Science in secondary (high school) education, by addressing policy developments and deliver materials with the capacity and capability to raise awareness of the GI sector, create a geospatially literate workforce and citizens who can benefit from these developments.
The project "The Neighborhood Goes to the University" aims to promote access to higher education for low-income populations. An investigation found that many children and youth from disadvantaged neighborhoods had little knowledge of university careers and options. Over 60 children and 27 youth did not know about university careers. The project brings groups from 10 nonprofit organizations to visit the National University of La Plata to learn about opportunities and develop informational materials to share in their communities. The goal is to help more vulnerable sectors of society envision university as a path for training and a better future.
1. ICTs are an important educational resource in modern society, especially for younger generations who are immersed in technology daily.
2. Outdoor learning experiences using ICTs were organized by Francisco Pavon's university class, including a visit to Toruños Natural Park where student groups prepared activities and documented their experiences using technologies.
3. Blogging was used as an example of how students can creatively express themselves and learn collaboratively through networking and linking their work to others online.
This document provides an overview of open educational resources (OER) and discusses who is using and producing them. It notes that OER includes open courseware and smaller learning objects that are freely available online. While comprehensive statistics are lacking, the number of OER projects and resources is growing rapidly. English-speaking countries currently dominate production, but translation is increasing global use. Reasons for individuals and institutions to share resources include technological, economic, social and legal drivers, while barriers include lack of infrastructure, resources and skills. Governments support OER for expanding access to education and promoting lifelong learning.

The document discusses nanotechnology education programs for secondary schools. It analyzes 12 exemplary programs from different European countries based on parameters like whether they are compulsory or optional courses, integrate nanotechnology into other subjects or are standalone, involve virtual or in-person teaching, industry/academic partnerships, and hands-on versus theoretical focus. The analysis finds that while programs vary in their approaches, most involve independent nanotechnology subjects, hands-on teaching with industry/academic support, and aim to engage students and the broader community. The document concludes that to fully realize the potential of nanotechnology education, schools need programs that are both comprehensive and innovative.
This document summarizes Maximilian Müller's research focusing on engaging user scenarios around interactive public displays. It discusses deploying displays in school settings to showcase educational video content from the JuxtaLearn project. Observations found students engaged more with dynamic and interactive content. Introducing awareness of peer interactions, like through notifications of others' actions, positively increased engagement both with the displays and socially. Future work aims to better understand factors motivating interaction and bridging awareness to actual participation. The document also outlines exploring situated shared music experiences using public displays.
ASTRONOMY IN EDUCATION SIMULATING SPACE RESEARCH EXPERIMENT IN THE CLASSROOM...Sheila Sinclair
This document discusses a project-based learning activity on astronomy and space research for secondary education students. The activity is inspired by the annual European Astro Pi contest run by the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation. In the activity, students are asked to design a space experiment to investigate possible variations in the interior environment of the International Space Station (ISS), such as temperature and pressure, during its day/night cycles using sensors. Students simulate their experimental designs on Earth by testing them during terrestrial day/night cycles. The goal is to develop students' scientific knowledge, cognitive skills, and ability to collaborate through an engaging hands-on learning experience focused on real-world problems in astronomy and space research.

Feedback indicated that using social media and interactive activities benefited learning and engagement for both educational content and 21st century skills.
Make the difference - at the UNESCO IITE Conference 2014icdeslides
Education and learning is probably that single phenomenon that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long-term perspective (OECD 2014).
Grand challenge number one is to breach the trend preventing developing countries, in particular South of Sahara, taking part in the global knowledge revolution. Everyone aspiring for higher education should have the right to affordable access. This is grand challenge number two. And it cannot be met without open education and technology enhanced learning.
Three messages:
• Senior management in education needs to innovate from within to open up education.
• Governments must take firm decision on holistic policies for open and distance education.
• Stakeholders should team up meeting the two grand challenges through open education and technology enhanced learning.
The document summarizes the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) framework project in England. The goals are to rebuild or renew every secondary school by 2020, provide inspiring learning environments, and position schools as community hubs. Local authorities lead strategic partnerships and ensure education visions meet standards, while considering community input. Example local projects integrate curriculum and facilities, demonstrate sustainability practices, and engage students in the design process.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
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.

time with hands-on activities, projects or
workshops, science schools.
– A scientific and technical component: young people
live a real experimental practice: ask questions and
make assumptions, imagine an experimental device,
set up a metrology, exploit the results, etc.
– A methodological dimension: project approach and
team work, similar to industrial methods.
• Focus on activities fostering a multidisciplinary work:
space, robotics, astronomy, environment, meteo, etc.
• Benefits: complement school activities, raise interest for
scientific and technical careers, educate the future citizens.

4. CNES: education and outreach activities
• CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) is the French space agency.
• Created in 1961, CNES mission is to maintain independent access to
space and develop innovative missions in telecommunications, earth
observation and exploration of the Universe.
• Raising awareness of space activities, education and training is also one
of the priorities of CNES.
• CNES’ Youth and Education department is active in three main areas:
– Raise awareness and provide space culture information (web, events)
– Develop and provide educational tools and facilities for hands-on experiment
projects (satellite data, technical equipments, parabolic flights, experimental
balloons and rockets, etc.)
– Train teachers and scientific communicators.
• CNES works in close cooperation with education, teachers and
specialised associations (such as Planète Sciences) to achieve this target.

5. A typical example : un ballon pour l’école
Impressive results obtained with young pupils :
more pleasure and interest for maths and physics

6. A strategic objective: raise awareness of space activities
• Still a very low awareness of the potential of
the space tools by the operational users and
the general public.
• When it succeeds, space is hidden ! (GPS)
• One major drawback: the need fro long term
continuity is not well understood (e.g. GMES
budget and decision-making issues).
• Space mainly perceived as a tool for science
and research.
• Improving this situation requires a long term action.
• This action plan shall include effort in the communication, education and
professional training domains.
• Addressing this issue only for higher education levels is too late:
Awareness to science shall start early with the youngest people. Space
is a subject that excites young people from the early age.

7. The growing use of social media: new opportunities
for communication, education and outreach activities?
• The social media: a disruption in communication and Internet
• Roles of CNES and Planète Sciences:
– Similar objectives and long term partnership between CNES and Planète
Sciences (1962): propose educational activities for children and teachers.
– Beyond the classical tools (rockets, satellites), increasing interest for
spaces applications and services in the daily life : new opportunities for
education and training activities.
• Increasing presence on social media with different objectives and
means:
– For Planète Sciences: extend the perimeter of its traditional educational
activities on the digital media, where young people are very active.
– For CNES: this new trend is a part of the communication strategy, in order
to reach a wider audience.
• Exchanging the first lessons learnt: an opportunity to better analyse the
results of the two actions.
IAC 2012 - E1.7.13 - New Worlds - Innovative Space Education and Outreach - 7
8. Planète Sciences and the blogosphere
• Rationale: same objectives, new tools, new users.
• Triggered by the impact of EO images on young
children and teachers.
• Attractive support to address either the scientific
and technical issues or the application domains.
• Interpretation of satellites images is also a good
opportunity to understand the importance of
scientific and critical examination.
• Planète Sciences works usually in the classroom.
• Social media: an experiment in order to reach
a wider audience and to evaluate the value of our
methods in a virtual world.
• Part of a wider scientific and technical program
based on hands-on activities and targeting young
people and teachers.

9. “Un autre regard sur la Terre” in a nutshell
• Non-profit education initiative in the field of
scientific and technical culture, especially for
young people, teachers and educators.
• Started in April 2010. Cruise speed as from
September 2010.
• Main objectives: inform, raise awareness
and curiosity of the young public.
• Focused on the role of earth observation
satellites and their environmental
applications.
• Provides education tools for the discovery
and study of space techniques,
environmental issues and sustainable
development.
• Managed and animated by volunteers.

10. Typical contents on “Un autre regard sur la Terre”
• Structure:
– The image is the starting point.
– An attractive text, with input of scientific and
industrial partners (CNES, ESA, Astrium, research,
etc.)
– For more information: a selection of reference links.
– Suggestions for exploitation in the classroom:
environmental and societal issues, technical or
scientific concepts (light, orbits, atmosphere).
• Two access levels:
– Awareness and discovery: users find an article
while browsing the Internet.
– In-depth understanding: more detailed explanations
and resources.
– Challenge: create a flow between the 2 levels.

11. CNES and social media: experience and strategy
• The first steps of CNES in social media
– Facebook page created in 2008.Twitter feed in 2009.
Regular but low level activity.
– 2010: social media are included in the CNES
communication strategy. Growing activity and interactions.
– Livetweets with space events (Q&A with CNES experts).
– First "Tweetup" in 2011: bloggers meet a panel of experts.
• 4 main objectives:
– Information dissemination: reach a wider audience (18-35).
– Means of influence: through fans and enthusiast people. Community of
ambassadors and spokesmen. New spheres not directly involved in space
technologies.
– Image vector: CNES innovates in space technologies but also in
communication.
– A social tool: develop interactivity and address new communities, beyond
the “space club”.

pages and 150,000 unique visitors
in 09/2012.
• 341 articles and 24 static web pages.
• Increasing duration of visits. Interest
of the users goes beyond the triggering
event.
• French language but visits from 164
countries.
• Statistics and messages confirm the
interest of teachers and education actors.
• Google is the main traffic source.
• Access through social media is still marginal but highest traffic
evolution, with Facebook and Twitter. New and promising action on
professional networks.
IAC 2012 - E1.7.13 - New Worlds - Innovative Space Education and Outreach - 12
13. Evaluation of impacts – CNES
• In 2012, Facebook and Twitter are the 3rd and 4th sources of traffic
on the CNES web site, right after Google and direct access (5th and
16th positions in 2011.
• Social media bring more traffic than other CNES sites, industry, space
agencies and research organisations.
• Driven by events: 10% of visits to the site during Curiosity’s landing on
Mars, the traffic generated by social networks represents, 2% on
average.
• In August 2012, the CNES has over 8000 fans on Facebook and
nearly as many followers on Twitter.
• CNES is also regularly active Dailymotion and Flickr. Lower and
experimental presence on Instagram, Scoop.it, Tumblr and
SoundCloud.

14. Profile of the Internet users
• Each social media has a specific function.
• Facebook:
– A discovery tool, where “friends” share
their preferred content.
– Mainly neophytes.
– Contents are shared with kindness and
even enthusiasm, but are not often subject
to debate and interaction.
Other (incl. local Journalists, media
• Twitter: actors around

15. Lessons learnt
• The event is a catalyst:
– Greatest impact and viral effects with major space events (Ariane 5, MSL).
• The image is a very powerful lever:
– Easy and fast reading (even better than video).
– Images from space (earth observation, astronomy, human flights): powerful
source of information for communication or education activities.
• It is difficult to pass background messages...
– Links to files, detailed articles are contents raise
less interest, at least for the non-informed public.
– CNES events: even when users are highly engaged
during an event, they are absorbed by the event
and not very receptive to core messages.
– Planète Sciences Midi-Pyrénées objective: transform
the short term interest in a long lasting curiosity.
– Some blog pages become very popular, well after
the initial event itself.

16. The best of all worlds? Tricky issues and risks
– High speed propagation of unofficial or not validated
Speed means information.
visibility: – Lower responsiveness of professional organisations
– Understanding the role of bloggers and influencers is
only emerging.
– Border between the private and professional information.
Use of social
– Charter of good practices,
media by
employees: – Raise staff awareness: risks attached to an improper use
of these networks.
– Attacks, rumours or incidents with impacts on reputation.
– E-reputation monitoring (daily sensing, detection of weak
Managing the signals).
e-reputation:
– Identification of spheres of influence.
– Integration of these new media in crisis communication
procedures.

17. Conclusions and recommendations
• Social media: key components of the new digital communication.
• Their growing role shall be taken in the communication strategy.
• No single model: specific solutions for each situation and each
objective.
• Social media will not replace the usual digital tools. Clear objectives to
each platform or tool.
• This approach is meaningful only if part of a long-term strategy.
• A solid knowledge of the culture of the organization is required for the
management of an online community.
• One issue often underestimated: resources and manpower are needed
(initial investment is not enough. Without a sustainable effort, it can
quickly become counterproductive.
