This is the microslot presentation I gave at Oxford Geek Night 6 on 22nd April 2008. I wanted to give a brief overview of what is happening in eLearning, the possible things it could lead to, and what other developers can be doing to help prevent this becoming a ‘purchasable product’ in schools.
The InfoCenter is a learning platform of the Dept. of Information Science at the University of Düsseldorf, Germany. It consists of elements of face-to-face teaching, of multimedia mediation (text books, slides, classic texts, interactive videos, FAQ lists, video glossaries), e-Portfolios, Web 2.0 tools (wikis, weblogs, social networks, social bookmarking and folksonomies) and of the use of a learning management system (with learning units and tests). The platform was evaluated by its users (university students) by means of SERVQUAL. According to the evaluation, students are satisfied with the InfoCenter and are willing to use it for their exam preparation.
London International Conference in Education2015debbieholley1
This talk offers insights into the current policy 'churn' in the training of both primary and secondary teachers in England, and identifies a gap in provision - with schools spending increasing time developing teachers 'in-house', the ongoing continuous professional development (CPD) of the new entrants to the profession falls between the more formal offerings during in service training days (INSET) and the needs expressed by the trainees/NQTs themselves. Drawing upon the experience of a single University provider of trading in the east of England, covering a wide geographic area and liaising with well over 200 partner schools, three initiatives will be highlighted, critically examined and the implications discussed in the light of limited resource, potentially dis-engaged teachers in their first year in school (only 62% are teaching one year after qualifying) and the need to offer CPD in a more engaging, relevant and accessible manner. The Open Education Resource initiative offers engagement from a local to global stage; access to experts from different countries, and, significantly, offers educators from the Southern Hemisphere access to materials and resources they can share, opportunities to contribute to research initiatives and a forum to make their voices heard. Wider links to work based learning across professions are being explored in my new role at Bournemouth University.

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.

Editor's Notes
INFOhio, Ohio’s K-12 digital library is very proud to have worked with the MCOECN for the past 21 years and to be prominently featured on their website. As Sarah explained, the movement to blended and digital education is moving at the speed of light. Everyone in this room can place their school district somewhere on the digital learning continuum. INFOhio is no different. We have moved from just being a library catalog or just being databases to developing strong tools and amazing resources to support school’s critical needs.

As Sarah explained, the movement to blended and digital education is moving at the speed of light. Everyone in this room can place their school district somewhere on the digital learning continuum. INFOhio is no different. We have moved from just being a library catalog or just being databases to developing strong tools and amazing resources to support school’s critical needs.
In the next few minutes, please join me on a resource walk as we look at how INFOhio the digital K-12 library for Ohio supports the state of Ohio’s push to an innovation economy through blended and digital learning, college and career readiness, Ohio’s new learning standards including the Common Core and professional development needs. .
This graphical depiction of College and Career Readiness says it all. From preparing our earliest learners to meet the challenges of strong reading, writing and math curriculum to challenging our 4-12 th grade students to prepare for whatever post secondary options they choose, Ohio’s education community is finding ourselves in the middle of a whirlwind of change. With the shifts to Common Core standards that have College and Career Readiness anchor standards, all educators are talking and learning about the new instructional shifts. These shifts in understanding, integrating and aligning your curriculum to the Common Core Standards have probably made you feel like you are lifting 300 lb iron weight. [email_address]
For those of you wondering where to find the resources to accommodate these major educational shifts. INFOhio has an answer. INFOhio provides you with a “virtual door” to no cost, high quality, teacher selected, and curriculum-related databases for your instructional program. Many of you have probably used Google or Wikipedia at one time or another. These are good resources, but to raise the bar and reach for the rigor required in the Common Core you need access to multiple digital and print databases that provide reliable and authoritative evidence. These electronic resources – provided at no charge -- are funded by Libraries Connect Ohio (LCO) using a combination of federal funds through the State Library of Ohio, in addition to state appropriations from OhioLINK, OPLIN, and INFOhio.
This core collection of 16 high quality resources is available to you and your students 24x7. If you are at home, you will need the user name and password you see on your handout. But the question remains, how do these resources connect to the Common Core. How can your teachers and students use these effectively to raise the rigor and critical thinking skills necessary for the Common Core?
Let’s look at how INFOhio supports the Common Core. On this slide are some of the key concepts that are found in the Common Core. These are all connected to Inquiry and improving student’s critical thinking skills. key concepts. Literacy Across the Curriculum / Research / Text Complexity and Informational Text / College & Career Readiness / Mathematical Principals. Not only does INFOhio provide the tools, but we are creating connections from five key Common Core concepts to those tools.
Keeping up with the changing standards? Are you confident about teaching your students the inquiry process? Wish you knew how to get started? Don't worry, you're not alone. Many educators are in your position and are looking for a quality solution. INFOhio's IMatrix system will help you understand inquiry and offer you a variety of materials for classroom instruction... and everything is directly tied to your standards. The IMatrix cube represents how the system works. The layers are the grade levels—Pre-K through 12 (green). The cube is four rows deep with each row representing a major content area (yellow). If you slice the cube from left to right you will see the six Dimensions of Inquiry—each representing a group of skills and steps in the inquiry process (blue). 10/04/12
GO INFOhio breaks the research process down into three major steps: Ask—ACT—Achieve. Each phase asks key questions that link students to INFOhio resources, forms, and reliable websites.
Federal grant from State Library of Ohio to create Information Literacy Course: Blended Learning in Action Aimed at Juniors and Seniors. Getting students ready for college and careers and getting teachers ready for blended learning. Increase rigor in research. We’re on schedule to have it ready in the fall, we’re hoping by the end of October. The idea is that students can work on a module at home and then teachers can review the results and address misconceptions and weak points one-on-one or in small groups. And it’s sensitive to the fact that not everyone has great Internet access. Designed it so that a teacher can download materials to use with class.
The Online Library Catalog that your district supports offers the first front to finding lexiles for text complexity. Most students know what lexile they are reading at, so having resources that allow them to select a reading at their lexile level allows teachers to differentiate without singling out any student.
Both EBSCOhost and World Book allow for lexile searching also. Ebsco actually promotes differentiation by allowing the student or teacher to select a lexile range for the topic they are researching. This can help all students find the information they need at their reading level. World Book does lexile their articles which helps everyone to know the rigor of the article.
Early World of Learning is targeted for grades K-3 reading and literacy. Good tool for the Third Grade Reading Guarantee and any student who has a reading improvement plan. A link at the bottom of all pages takes you to the Educator Center for a comprehensive breakdown of site features and recommendations for integrating Welcome to Reading into the classroom literacy curriculum. Including resources to help educators determine which reading level is appropriate for each child based on assessments of demonstrated reading abilities and behaviors. An individual For Educators guide accompanies each story in the A, B, C, and D levels. Each guide offers an overview of the phonics and vocabulary taught in the story, classroom discussion questions, “mini-lessons,” and thematic connections to sing along songs, nursery songs, and stories for further reading. Download the printable version of the stories to fold into Little Books with your students. Trek’s Travels also includes and Educator Center and an individual For Educators guide accompanies each early childhood theme. Each guide offers an overview of the skills and concepts taught, educators' story synopsis, background information, discussion questions, ideas for interactive classroom learning, game instructions
