Using Technology Resources to Support Learners with Complex and Profound Needsmagsmckay
This presentation created by Margaret McKay of the JISC RSC Scotland SW was delivered as part of the Scotland's Colleges Resources day for staff supporting learners with profound and complex needs.
This research focuses on the different business models in online education, the growth and consolidation of certain segments , democratization of content creation, and learner needs in corporate education
Flexible Learning is an excellent method of reaching all types of learners. It is truly a medium that helps to democratize education to all. Today, we are currently experiencing a time of constant evolution in the field of education in which students require more resources and tools to obtain the information and construction of knowledge. One such resource is the use of open and distance learning environment, where the lecturer assigns additional activities for the understanding of the concepts seen before. But there are times when the student does not understand the content because of the form it represents, making it necessary to have more options to facilitate the understanding of content through different ways that may be more attractive to the students, achieving more active participation in the subject and an affinity that leads to a better learning experience. This is the goal of the study, which proposes a model called “Learning Buffet Model” for designing Flexible Learning content adaptable to the student´s learning style. This learning buffet model can be used as a fundamental model and applied in any area or discipline of education as it forces the consideration of four components (leaning style, content, pedagogy and technology) in the design of the lesson plan and subsequently enrich the learning environment with more specific learning objects the subjects taught.
The educational institutions in India have metamorphosed with the passage of time. Diploma education in India has also witnessed a tremendous transformation with the implementation of cutting-edge technologies and research oriented educational procedures.
The Knowledge Review thus comes up with a special issue of “The 10 Best Diploma Colleges in India, 2018”, which highlights some of the best institutes in India which are innovatively transforming and enhancing diploma education. This issue highlights some of those institutes which have set a global standard in the field of diploma education, research, and training.

This is a presentation I prepared for a course on emerging technologies and concepts for my students. I discuss the concept of Education 4.0 as a tool to help to rethink education to better align future workers, today's life-long learners, with the new business requirements of industrie 4.0
Today’s organizations are faced with a number of issues related to an increasingly complex and unpredictable business environment. These issues have implications on training strategies for companies: it has become imperative to make the required kinds of knowledge available to employees, regardless of where they are, as soon as they are required. In a 2.0 learning organization, Web 2.0 tools are incorporated into the training strategy according to three models that are presented in the white paper: embedded, wrapped & community based learning.

It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since we published our first ReimaginED report. When we first drafted ReimaginED, we set out to expose systemic challenges in our nation’s K-12 education system and to highlight some of the innovative solutions edtech entrepreneurs were developing to address these challenges. In last year’s report, we showcased ways technology could help our school system become an escalator to opportunity for all.
A lot has changed in three years, including our spinout from NewSchools to Reach Capital. Edtech investment has hit an all time high with a variety of new funders entering the space. As the market begins to mature, global edtech brands are emerging with solutions that are improving educational outcomes and serving millions of students, teachers, and families.
Even with these changes, however, a lot remains the same. The escalator to social mobility remains broken with unequal access to quality education. Meeting individual student needs is still a challenge and grows more pressing as children in US public schools are more diverse than ever. Moreover, our education system is not designed to prepare children for the demands of today's knowledge economy. We're still stuck in a system that is largely manufacturing-based, which falls short on important skills such as coding, creativity, and synthesis. All these challenges and more have led to increasing demands on teachers as both their role and their responsibilities evolve, with little to no support in the transition.
This year’s publication, rebranded as “Reach Capital’s 2016 Edtech Outlook”, touches on these persisting challenges, while also highlighting key drivers that make us optimistic about the potential of technology to improve access and opportunity for kids. This year, our publication is not a roundup of everything in K-12 edtech, but rather our perspective on the challenges,opportunities and promising solutions in the space that we find most compelling. If you're looking for a full report on the state of K-12 edtech, our friends at Edsurge in partnership with AT&T Aspire have recently published a state of edtech report and we encourage you to check it out.
Given our unique vantage point, we also provide a peek “around the corner” into emerging solutions that align with our mission. We continue to see a need for more innovations in critical areas like English Language Learner instruction and Social Emotional Learning. We look forward to finding and supporting talented, mission-driven entrepreneurs innovating in these and other areas that will improve access and opportunity for kids.

The Future of Learning Technology in UK Higher Education
At Microsoft it’s essential that we understand how we can support
innovative individuals, businesses and organisations to shape the future – and there is no more important area for innovation than Higher Education.
Introduction
Learning delivery in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is
being reshaped before our eyes, thanks in part to advances
in technology and the new pedagogical theories facilitated by
that technology.
In order to understand more about the ever-evolving
relationship between technology and learning, we spent time
speaking with six of the UK’s leading learning technologists
working within HEIs.
In a series of interviews exploring current practice, changing
needs and key trends, we were able to establish how digital
devices are being used in universities and how cutting-edge
technology can continue to compliment a sector experiencing
fresh emphasis on collaboration, creation and innovation.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

3 Institutes displaying
commitment towards
quality learning
2. As we enter in to a new decade, it wouldn’t be
an over statement to say that the education
landscape has changed enormously. With an
imminent technological sweep over
conventional teaching methods, experts believe
that by the end of 2020s, the global education
landscaped would have transformed in entirety,
making conventional classrooms and text books
seem ancient stories
Even big corporations have started realizing the
potential the EdTech industry holds. One of the
key indicators that EdTech is going to make it
big this decade is the number of billionaires this
industry has already produced. The market is
projected to grow by a staggering 400% by
2025. This includes online training portals,
digital libraries, & online schools etc.
Another significant element that needs to be
considered when talking about Education in the
Decade 2020 is the concept of hybrid
homeschooling. This allows children to divide
their time between homeschool & traditional
school ensuring that a child gets the individual
attention he needs for personalized training
and also learns social etiquette.
With that said, let’s dive into the recent edition
of IAO’s Accreditor. With the new decade, we
also bring to you lots of informative articles,

TOP 3 BENEFITS OF
BLENDED
LEARNING
The term 'Blended Learning'
indicates that various methods of
training will be incorporated in
order to achieve the highest
learning and maximum retention.
In the past, the only mode of
training was face to face. Then
with the emergence of technology,
online training, gamification,
elearning and microlearning, face
to face training lost its
importance. However, very quickly
companies realised that the
effectiveness had greatly been
impacted. Hence, over the past
few years the methodologies have
been 'blended' and the term
'Blended Learning' was birthed.

Today, the focus of organizations is that learning needs should be tailored to modern workplace
environment, which means supporting continuous learning rather than discrete learning events. With
infrastructure and devices getting quicker, affordable and smarter, people are more likely to adopt
different kinds of mobile technologies. As per research, there are around 2.53 billion smartphone users
across the world and this number is expected to rise to 2.87 billion by the end of 2020.
Mobile learning is delivered on a smaller screen as compared to traditional desktop learning and is
mostly useful to people who are on the move. This results in leveraging the best use of bite-sized
content, which is quick to access, and easy to digest & retain. Modern learners use different mobile apps
to learn at their own time and place. Learning through apps does not require an internet connection to
download the course. Because of this flexibility, mobile apps are becoming a significant content delivery
format, especially for microlearning.
6. Use of
Mobile
Learning
Apps is
Trending
When you choose to watch a video or
access a podcast, you are creating a
learning opportunity. If you do this via
mobile technology, it will be considered
as an engaging elearning experience.
There is so much that can be achieved
through mobile technologies using
different communication channels.
Outlined below are some of the popular
approaches that help to deliver
engaging mobile learning experience:
02
• Searchable references can be created
to motivate learners explore relevant
content sources (such as Wikipedia) or
design their own wikis.
• Different kinds of checklist apps can
be installed to plan tasks that need to
be accomplished.
• Podcasts can be used to deliver
content through audio presentations
from subject matter experts.
7. 03
• Audio books can be downloaded,
covering specific topics to enhance
their knowledge even on the go.
• Expert videos can also be shared via
public or private networks on your
personalized mobile devices.
• Even the camera feature of mobile
devices can help with taking pictures at
workplace to send to mentors, to verify
set training standards such as safety at
workplace.
Mobile apps allow learners to access
training material whenever and
wherever they need it. For instance,
sales personnel can access short
training modules before dealing with
their potential clients. They may forget
what they learned a week before, but
microlearning can improve their
knowledge retention by 40% to 50%.
They can revise the same content on
the day they pitch sales via their
personalized devices to ensure that
they go in better prepared. Certainly,
the future of elearning is going beyond
traditional classroom setting and will
be mobile and flexible to cater to
customized learning styles and
preferences.

Q: Could you please walk
us through your academic
background and
achievements? Your
extensive and varied
experience can be a
source of inspiration for
many; please share the
highlights and milestones
of your professional
journey.
My academic life has taught
me many things,
academically, personally
and professionally. I have
had many good life
experiences, especially
during my school life when I
developed the courage to
face life itself when I was
appointed Head of Cultural
department and head of
student body. It was during
this period I learned time
management and other
skills that helped-
-me greatly later on in life.
From there on, as I went
ahead with my higher
studies, I learned the
importance of improvising
and adapting according to
the prevailing trends. Today,
I believe it is important for a
student to have hands-on
experience of what he is
learning in the class.
As the age old saying goes,
“no matter how much we
learn, there is always room
for more”, I always try to
learn new things, since that
is what my professional and
academic life has taught
me, whether it is your
routine life or books in the
library or school, everything
teaches you something if
you are willing to learn and
adopt.
Q: Currently heading the
institute, what are some
of your long-term and
short-term goals for the
education system?
When we talk about the
education sector, every
country or state has its own
system but in my opinion-
IN CONVERSATION
WITH
CHAIRMAN OF
ST. VYBHAVA INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ARTS &
SCIENCE
I don’t think I have achieved
any milestones or highlights
yet, as every part of my
journey to date is a
contribution of many
individuals and through
many hardships. So, what I
have achieved or what I will
do in the future will always
be the work of others who
helped me through so I give
my respects and my thanks
to everyone in my life now &
those to come in future too..

-we need to learn from each other and strive to
provide the best experience to students and the
faculty without it being a burden on them.
My long term goal has always been to provide the
best and a well-balanced experience to my
students and to incorporate a system where
students can learn freely and with good practical
experience, which can also help them achieve
their goals and their dreams and a good life.
Most of us strive for results but I think we need to
focus on student development. As for my current
goals, I want to introduce everyone to a system
that can help students improve in all aspects of
life.
Q: What do you think your biggest challenge is
working in the education industry at such a
key position?
In my point of view, the biggest challenge is
providing the students with up-to-date training as
per today’s industrial/technological needs. And, in
today's or for future, we need more experience in
practical training rather than spending 90% of
the time in classes on theories.
Q: During your entire career, which
milestone felt most accomplished and why?
In my entire career, the biggest
accomplishment is creating a place where every
student has an equal opportunity of admission
irrespective of their background, culture, and
the like, alongside students are free to choose
whatever course they want to learn. In this
regard, establishing VYBHAVA is a great
opportunity for me to share my knowledge with
students and polish their skills to the level
where they can be successful in life no matter
where they are.
Q: Recently, there have been many reports
and trends of students opting for alternate
methods of education such as distance
learning, diplomas, short-courses, etc.
instead of traditional degrees. What’s your
view on this?
16. In my opinion, students should have the ultimate choice. Yes, they should be guided by their parents,
adults, and consultants, but the final decision should rest with students regarding what type of
education method they want to opt for instead of pushing them to go for courses are least interested in.
I believe teachers, parents and other adults should rather direct students instead of forcing their will on
them. Students can choose from online degrees, to diplomas and college degrees, it is completely up to
them what they want to learn and the field they want to choose to work in for the rest of their life.
Q: Thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions for IAO Accreditor. Do you have any
parting words of wisdom for educationists and students?
Thank you for giving me such a great chance to explain myself and share my way of thinking. I hope
practical knowledge becomes widespread so that more and more students can adapt to the prevailing
trends and make their life worthwhile.

Ending Notes
19. 12
The term 'Blended Learning' indicates that various methods of training will be incorporated
in order to achieve the highest learning and maximum retention. In the past the only mode of
training was face to face. Then with the emergence of technology, online training,
gamification, elearning and microlearning, face to face training lost its importance. However,
very quickly companies realised that the effectiveness had greatly been affected. Hence,
over the past few years the methodologies have been 'blended' & the term 'Blended
Learning' was birthed.
In this article, the focus is on the 3 greatest benefits of blended learning that will help to
enhance learning and application of the concepts.
"In order to create an engaging learning experience, the
role of instructor is optional, but the role of learner is
essential." - Bernard BullArticle
20. 13
It is well known that learning is enhanced when the same concept is presented in
different ways. This is the principle behind 'Blended Learning'. After presenting the
concepts in an instructor led face to face training session, the knowledge retention
is significantly improved with the addition of a new method in the learning
process, through elearning or gamification. It delivers a much richer training
experience and helps employees to retain the new information better by applying
on different platforms like elearning and gamification.

Benefits of Training

Reduces & Simplifies
Logistics
2.
Each method of training has its pros and cons. Face to face training when led by an
accomplished trainer can achieve profound results; however, managing the logistics
of all the participants can be a nightmare. But when the live programs are reduced
and the training is supported by video conferences and elearning, then the impact is
not compromised. The last two training methods reduces the need for logistics and
is also eco-friendly; e-copies of the training materials can be share thereby reducing
the need for printing.

Microlearning is shared through mobile phones and elearning is shared through
Learning Management Systems. Both these methods allow employees to study the
material on their own time from their phones or laptops. So reducing the long hours
of travel has contributed to enhanced productivity as this time is used efficiently.
Each person has a varied ability to learn. In face to face sessions, people who take
longer to absorb new information have a hard time keeping abreast with the rest of
the group. But when employees are given control over their learning, by being able to
combine their face to face training sessions with online self study, unique learning
needs and behaviors are met; this contributes dramatically to enhanced productivity
and career growth.
Allowing Employees to
Have Greater Control Over
Their Training
3.
23. 16
According to the American Society for Training and Development, employees lose
90% of the skills they learned in training once they return to their jobs. This happens
as the new information that was learnt was not repeated enough for retention and
they revert to using the information that they are familiar with. However, with the
advent of blended learning the impact of training has significantly improved as
platforms like elearning and gamilfication invites the employees to apply the new
content that they learned; thus making it familiar and comfortable. Hence, blended
learning is here to stay.
