Technology Integration and Teacher Education: Learning with Technologye_lomax
This presentation took place at the 2016 PeDTICE Colloquium at the University of Sherbrooke in Montreal, Canada. This presentation discusses the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model, explores the affordances and constraints that are commonly associated with the integration educational technology into teacher education curricula in general, and highlights the relationship of relevant aspects of the TPACK model and technology integration debate that are likely to affect the future design goals and instructional objectives guiding the further development of pre-service teacher educational technology courses similar to EDM 310; a required undergraduate course in the teacher education program in the College of Education at the University of South Alabama that explores the use and integration of educational technology to support K-12 classroom instruction and student learning.

Assessment for learning is a base for any type of evaluation. A part of this is Portfolios. In this slide one can explore the guidelines to prepare portfolios. Teacher can use these portfolios as an assessment tool. Since students prepare this under the guidance of a teacher. They are widely recognized tools.
This presentation was created by Prof. Carlo Jay A. Evardone which discusses how how to implement, monitor and evaluate the curriculum / program in an institution. It provides simple and easy insights to the topic.
The Taba Model was developed by Hilda Taba (1902 - 1967), an architect, a curriculum theorist, a curriculum reformer, and a teacher educator.Taba believed that there has to be a definite order in creating a curriculum.
She advocated that teachers take an inductive approach to curriculum development which meant starting with the specifics and building toward a general design, rather than the traditional deductive approach (starts with the general design and work towards the specifics) which was rooted in Tyler's model. Hilda Taba followed the grass-roots approach in developing curriculum
For her, it should be the teachers who should design the curriculum rather than the higher authorities (Oliva, 1992). More specifically stated, the Taba approach believes in allowing the curriculum to be developed and/or authored by the users (teachers). Under the Taba Model teachers are expected to begin each curriculum by creating specific teaching-learning units and building to a general design.
According to Khwaja, Akhtar, & Mirza (n.d.), "the Taba model was an attempt to ensure that decisions about curriculum are made on the basis of valid criteria and not whim or fancy." Her model of developing a curriculum consisted of seven main steps and over the years, these seven steps have formed the basis for Hilda Taba's ...
This solution provides information about Hilda Taba and her suggested approach to curriculum development. It also includes information about five of Taba's main elements required when developing a curriculum. The solution is referenced.

Basic Instructional Design Principles - A PrimerMike Kunkle
This is a very basic primer I once created to teach a staff of technical writers about instructional design. It was not designed for non-verbal delivery, but it will give you an idea of basic ISD concepts.
Slides from our Learning Design workshop in Nairobi, Kenya on 9 June 2017. An output from the ESRC-funded International Distance Education and African Students (IDEAS) project, in coodination with the African Network for Internationalization of Education.
There are a number of occupational roles, positions, and career paths into learning design. This is an introduction to a few ways learning/instructional design careers are evolving in education and industry today.
What skills are required of today’s instructional designers in higher education? Whether working as part of an academic department, centralized online education group, or faculty development office, the role is increasingly complex and varied to meet the needs of different faculty members, courses, programs, students, and administrators. This session addresses setting realistic expectations for the current work of instructional designers in higher education, and offer a look at how these jobs are being advertised.

The deck is structured to facilitate an interactive and engaging workshop experience, featuring real-world examples, hands-on activities, and spaces for thought-provoking discussions. Don't miss this invaluable resource for transforming your teaching practices and enhancing educational impact through AI.
Outcome Based Education is Major concern in all professional courses. This ppt will gives basic introduction about OBE and its implementation. Outcome-based education (OBE) is education in which an emphasis is placed on a clearly articulated idea of what students are expected to know and be able to do.
What does good course design look like to you - Alex Wu, BlackboardBlackboard APAC
Course design is undoubtedly a critical element of any online or blended learning environment. As academics and instructional designers, we often associate course design with teaching and learning outcomes that are course- and program-specific and are aligned specifically to graduate attributes or goals. In this session, we will instead take a deconstructive approach to analyse each of the main tool groups within Blackboard Learn and Collaborate, and showcase some unique tool deployment use-cases from clients around the globe. We will also touch on using the same tools in research and grant management to discuss how both teaching and research departments could cross benefit from using the same platform within an institution.
What considerations need to be considered in order to make video accessible to all users? This presentation considers the law, standards and ways to make your video more accessible when used online.
Poets throughout history have been the carriers of stories, history and culture. (An introductory presentation for young students beginning nits in writing poetry to tell their own stories)
Using game design elements in non-game settings to engage participants and encourage desired behaviors is gamification. This technique was used in a project of Web Adventures developed by Rice University. Their goals were to increase students' science and health knowledge through free, online serious games, and to inspire science-related careers. This presentation shows the available resources and suggests some alternative applications in humanities and non-STEM coursework.
Social media is redefining the relationships between organizations and their audiences, and it introduces new ethical, privacy, and legal issues. As an organization, an employee and an individual user, we need to have a better understanding of the ethics, and also the law, as it applies in these new contexts. Pre-existing media law about copyright and fair use was not written with social media in mind, so changes and interpretations are necessary.
Coding, like language study, has cognitive advantages. Learning a system of signs, symbols and rules used to communicate improves thinking by challenging the brain to recognize, negotiate meaning and master different language patterns. Multilingual people are more adept at switching between communication structures. Unfortunately, few high schools and far fewer middle and elementary schools offer courses in computer programming. Some educators are considering a programming language as fulfilling the requirement for a “second language.” Why teach coding outside a computer science class? Should it count as a “second language?” How is a programming language comparable to a spoken language? What should we be teaching as coding?
The flipped classroom has been used in different ways for the past decade in education, and more recently, the idea of flipping professional development has been experimented with at schools and in corporate training. In both cases, the idea is to rethink what we want to spend our time with in face-to-face sessions and how can we move learning before & after those sessions to be more self-directed. This presentation was paired with a makerspaces session and included an exercise to flip the learning model. Attendees were asked a DIY activity before the face-to-face session.
This presentation discusses the practice of using a public forum in both online and in face-to-face classes and having students publically reflect on their learning experiences. Requiring students to document their work in public immediately changes student ownership of their work. This type of documentation makes learning visible, rather than the private 1:1 relationship that assessment and evaluation often has between a student and instructor. The presentation explains the documentation and process reflection methodology and shows student examples.
Dimostrazione is considered one of the character traits that made Leonardo da Vinci one of the most influential geniuses in history. It is one approach to problem solving.
It means a commitment to test knowledge through, experience, persistence, and a willingness to learn from mistakes. Some might call it "trial and error" and consider it a poor way to solve a problem.
This presentation looks at how a technical writing course can emphasize a research approach and problem solving unlike the academic writing done for most classes. Students learn to do audience analysis, work in collaborative environments and gain familiarity with tools used for writing digital modes. While designing professional documents, such as proposals, they become familiar with the cultural and ethical concerns of a global workplace. The writing tasks are all based on the content of their majors.
Rubrics: Transparent Assessment in Support of LearningKenneth Ronkowitz
Rubrics provide a powerful tool for grading and assessment that can also serve as a transparent and inspiring guide to learning. Rubrics have been used to increase transparency and accountability across K-12 and higher education, and in corporate and government settings.
This presentation looks at defining rubrics, reasons for using them, types and designing them using the Moodle rubric tool.
The popular media tells us that we live in an age of disengagement. 21st century professors are told they need to design curriculum to support student success and create an engaging classroom whether it is face-to-face, online, or in a blended learning environment. Creating engaging learning environments with technology will be essential to embrace 21st century learners and their ever evolving learning styles. Information Technology is dedicated to this philosophy and embraces varying technologies and learning concepts with other institutions and with our own faculty to generate innovation with technology and learning engagement in tandem. Information Technology invites the Stevens community to explore how educators can use some of the tools such as apps, clickers, open education resources, mobile learning, collaborative learning platforms from Google Hangouts to Massive Open Online Courses, and embrace the engagement strategies of social media
The New York Times said that 2012 was “the year of the MOOC”
EDUCAUSE said that they have “the potential to alter the relationship between learner and instructor and between academe and the wider community.”
Can a course where the participants and the course materials are distributed across the web and the courses are "open" and offered at no cost to a very large number of participants who do not receive institutional credit be a worthwhile venture for a college?
This keynote presentation was given at the 8th Annual Faculty Technology Showcase at Bloomfield College in New Jersey, January 2012.
This presentation addressed the then-current advertising tagline that "There's an app for that" which has moved into education as a possible solution for many software needs. Apps – small, easy to download software for mobile devices – are changing how students use technology. It is also changing the way colleges design and deploy software. How are schools reacting to this app world? This presentation examines how mobile and web apps are currently being developed and used, and the ways educators can implement them for teaching and for campus-wide initiatives.
This presentation looks at some of the issues and trends in technology that have emerged this year that some are saying will lead to the end of the traditional university and/or the traditional degree. Is 2013 the beginning of the end of the university, or the starting place for University 2.0?
This was a plenary session at Rutgers University's OIRT’s 2012 Technology in Learning Showcase on December 12, 2012, sponsored by the Office of Instructional and Research Technology.
It’s the End of the University As We Know It (and I feel fine)" was presented as an "Ignite" session at the 9th Annual NJEDge.Net conference (November 2012, New Jersey). It comes out of my ideas about how the next ten years will transform universities in ways that will be frightening for anyone hoping to hold onto the university model that has existed for almost 900 years. It is very likely that, powered by technology, movements such as open educational resources, MOOCs, big data, non-degree programs and alternatives to a traditional university degree will lead to the end of University 1.0. What will be the tipping point that brings about not only University 2.0 but also a broader School 2.0?

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
3. INDUSTRY : EDUCATION
Instructional Design
▪ "The term instructional design
refers to the systematic and
reflective process of translating
principles of learning and
instruction into plans for
instructional materials, activities,
information resources, and
evaluation. An instructional
designer is somewhat like an
engineer."
(Smith, Patricia L., and Tillman J.
Ragan. Instructional design. New
York, NY: Wiley, 1999.)
Teachers
▪ Teachers focus on tasks/learning
opportunities for students.
Educational learning designers
design “documents and describes a
learning activity in such a way that
other teachers can understand it
and use it in their own context.
Typically a learning design includes
descriptions of learning tasks,
resources and supports provided by
the teacher”
(Donald, Blake, Girault, Datt, &
Ramsay, 2009).
4. AREN’T ALL TEACHERS
INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS?
Teachers Designing Lessons
(Learning Design)
▪ Focus on the individual
lesson/session -> week -> unit
▪ Often not involved in the
decision-making process of what
the content will be (textbooks,
units etc.)
Instructional Designers
▪ A more global focus, often driven
by performance goals
▪ Works with subject matter
experts (SME). (In some smaller
companies, the ID may be considered
the SME.)
5. Lesson Planning: The Missing Link in e-Learning Course Design
http://www.learningsolutionsmag.com/articles/188/lesson-planning-the-missing-link-in-e-learning-course-design/
Lesson planning is not a typical topic in instructional design courses and programs, although education
courses and programs always include it. Consequently, few IDs without education backgrounds know
how to develop lesson plans. Though developing a lesson plan for e-Learning is similar in many ways to
developing a lesson plan for instructor-led learning, there are also differences. IDs need to remember
that there is no instructor present in self-paced e-Learning, and simple as this sounds, it does take
some getting used to. This concept is especially difficult to grasp for experienced stand-up trainers and
facilitators who are new to designing instruction
6. ID RESPONSIBILITIES
▪ Participate in product ideation, innovation, and iteration (20%)
▪ Synthesize and apply academic learning theory to product features
(20%)
▪ Create design schematics in conjunction with UI designers (30%)
▪ Participate in the learner validation, and subsequent iteration, of
schematics into design specifications and patterns (15%)
▪ Contributing to other design, development, research, and evaluation
tasks, as needed (15%)
What is not part of the ID’s responsibilities?
7. SKILLS/KNOWLEDGE/ABILITIES
Identified by levels and by viewable projects and products
▪ Deep and demonstrated knowledge of learning design principles
▪ Demonstrated experience synthesizing and applying research from the
learning sciences to product design in clear, tangible, documented ways
▪ Demonstrated understanding of various adaptive models and
characteristics and their impact on learning
▪ Demonstrated understanding of evidence-based, learner-centered
design processes, techniques, and tools
▪ Demonstrated experience participating in the design of learner
interfaces and learner experiences
8. SKILLS
▪ Job ads are often specific – “Captivate 6+” - but resumes should always
be specific
▪ “Experienced in using Agile/Scrum methodologies in dispersed, cross-functional
teams”
▪ (anticipating interview questions) What would you use for:
▪ creating design schematics & specifications
▪ conducting validation testing with learners, instructors, administrators, and
experts
