The document discusses foundations for online learning and teaching. It covers philosophical, psychological, and theoretical bases like motivation for learning and the Community of Inquiry framework. It also discusses institutional considerations around technology selection and preparing faculty for online teaching. The Community of Inquiry framework emphasizes social, cognitive, and teaching presence to support critical thinking in an online community. Motivation theories like andragogy note that adult learners are self-directed and motivated by internal factors like relevance to their lives.

E-Portfolios and the Problem of Learning in the Post-Course Era by Randy Bass, Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS), Georgetown University
General Education 3.0 (AAC&U)
March 4, 2011
This is the presentation I made to my committee for my proposal for research. I am focusing on creating Personal Learning Environments for two students with special needs. I am using their IEPs to design an on line learning environment to supplement their curriculum from school. For my doctorate, I would like to implement the PLEs into their school day and possible replace some of the activities they are doing with the intervention specialist. Any feedback will be helpful. However, please keep in mind that I have to work with and around the school's firewall system. Thank you, Sharon Shaffer
The shift from ‘me’ to ‘we’: Schools with a coaching culture build individual...Christine Hoyos
Developing all staff to coach each other accelerates adult learning, which, in turn, accelerates student learning. A key factor in the process is job-embedded support.
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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Introducing Online learning
1. Creating Robust Environments for Online
Learning and Teaching:
Part A- Foundations
Scot Headley, George Fox University
2. A. Foundations for online learning and teaching include the
philosophical, psychological and theoretical bases for
developing and delivering effective online instruction.
B. Applications for online learning and teaching include the
technological, relational and instructional strategies and
techniques helpful for success in effective online instruction
3. Foundations in our consideration of online teaching and
learning:
Institutional and Instructional Considerations
Motivation for learning
Community of Inquiry
Instructional Design
4. Institutional and Instructional Considerations
Consider the following:
•Students protest seemingly inane institutional policies related to
institutional technology, library access and social media.
•Institutional Technology administrators faced with difficult
decisions regarding selection of supported applications.
•Faculty members who are asked to begin teaching online with no
appropriate rationale, prior background or preparation.
Each of these situations (and a myriad of others) creates
challenging tension and at times, unresolved difficulties in
university efforts at online education.
5. The Parallel Role and Functions Model provides explanation for
the competing and supporting interests, needs and outcomes
present in the delivery of online. This model puts forward the
notion that for each of the primary participants in university-
based online education; the institution, the faculty member and
the students, a pair of parallel roles exists.
These roles represent fundamental aspects of higher education
institutions, the bureaucratic element and the educational
element.
6. In this model, the university concurrently serves as a
facilitating medium for learning (the educational role) and as a
self-sustaining system (the bureaucratic role).
The faculty member serves as a guide for learning (the
educational role) while at the same time also performs her
role as an agent of the institution (a bureaucratic role).
The student, in this model, functions as both a learner
(educational role) and as a client of a corporate system (the
bureaucratic role).
7. This model seeks to explore and explain, for example, the
following:
a.institutional decision making regarding instructional delivery
schemes and policies and procedures associated with distance
education;
b.technological tools used and not used for online education;
c.faculty workload and faculty responsibilities in the online
education environment;
d.preparation of faculty and students to work online;
e.financial costs, investments and returns;
f.pedagogical assumptions, practices and outcome; and
g.relationships between faculty and administration, and faculty
and students in the online education milieu.
8. Educational roles and functions and bureaucratic roles and
functions often reflect differing values, needs and goals.
Consider applications such as academic freedom,
assessment, marketing, and faculty reward systems in light
of this model.
A key function of a bureaucratic system is to maintain itself.
A key function of an educational system is individual and
community growth.
The functions are not mutually exclusive, and do at times
compete with each other.
Instructors are not autonomous and work within a system
that requires commitments and investments that at times
appear to be counter-productive to the aim of
supporting growth.
9. Motivation for learning
My students are adults, are responsible, independent and are
volunteers in the learning enterprise.
Andragogy is “any intentional and professionally guided
activity that aims at a change in adult person” (Knowles, Holton
III, & Swanson, 2005, p. 60). One of the definitions of
adulthood is that adults are responsible for their own lives and
learning.
Knowles, M. S., Holton, E. F., & Swanson, R. A. (2005). The
adult learner: The definitive classic in adult education and
human resource development (6th ed.). Burlington, MA:
Butterworth-Heinemann.
10. The foundational idea of andragogy is that adults learn differently
than children. Basic assumptions include:
(1) Adults need to understand why they should learn something;
(2) Adults recognize their personal responsibility for the outcome
of their life and operate in a self-directed manner as a result;
(3) Adults bring a depth and breadth of experiences to their
educational pursuits than do children;
(4) Adults pursue learning when faced with life circumstances not
previously encountered;
(5) Adults' approach to learning is centered around specific tasks
or challenges; and
(6) Adults are primarily motivated to learn by internal drivers such
as self-worth
11. Assumptions of Pedagogy and Andragogy
Pedagogical model Variable Andragogical model
Learn to “pass the course” The Need to Know Learner needs to know why
Dependent personality Learner's Self-concept Personal responsibility to learn
Of little worth Learner's Experience Quality of experience
What is needed to pass Readiness to Learn Relevance and applicability
Subject-oriented Orientation to Learning Life and problem-centered
External motivation Motivation Internal motivation
12. Characteristics exhibited by adults related to motivation for
learning (Wlodkowski)
Relevance is the ultimate criteria for sustaining adult interest.
Are critical and self-assured about their judgment of the value
of what they are learning.
Are reluctant to learn what they cannot endorse by the virtue
of its value, usefulness, or contribution to their goals
Require respect from their teachers as a condition for learning.
To want to actively test what they are learning in real work and
life settings.
Desire to use their experience and prior learning as
consciously and as directly as possible while learning
Desire to integrate new learning with their life roles
13. Motivational Framework for Culturally Responsive
Teaching
Four strategies, or conditions to establish motivated learning.
Wlodkowski, R. J. (2008). Enhancing adult motivation to learn.
A comprehensive guide for teaching adults (third ed.). San
Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.
Establishing Inclusion
Developing Attitude
Enhancing Meaning
Engender competence
14. Establishing inclusion:
Description: Adult learners and teachers desire to feel they
are a part of the learning environment by experiencing a
sense of mutual respect, harmony, and community as they
are connected to each other.
Guide question: How do we create or affirm a learning
atmosphere in which we feel respected by and connected to
one another?
Means: collaborative learning, particularly through sharing
personal stories
Outcomes: the outcomes of establishing inclusion stretch
from experiencing a climate of belonging to increasing learner
involvement to neuronal network integration and long-term
memory.
15. Developing attitude:
Description: Attitudes are the outgrowth of our engagement in
culture and with others. A learning experience forms and
shapes attitudes both positively and negatively just as attitudes
form and shape a learning experience both positively and
negatively.
Guide question: How do we create or affirm a favorable
disposition toward learning through personal relevance and
learner volition?
Means: relevant learning goals, particularly learner-directed
Outcomes: learners will thrive best when they experience
relevance and exercise volition within their cultural contexts.
16. Enhancing meaning:
Description: Culturally responsive teaching allows the learner to
understand, to find significance, and to make sense out of
learning experiences that in some way connect with the
learner’s own experiences.
Guide question: How do we create engaging and challenging
learning experiences that include learners’ perspectives and
values?
Means: critical reflection and group discussion
Outcomes: enhancing meaning will also increase the learner’s
participation in the learning experience.
17. Engender competence:
Description: Adult learning that values praxis and application will
lead to competence, for the learner is motivated to apply such
learning to his/her cultural context.
Guide question: How do we create or affirm an understanding
that learners have effectively learned something they value and
perceive as authentic to their real world?
Means: self assessment and reflection
Outcomes: competency, when expressed through authentic
learning experiences, will build the learner’s confidence level.

(Chickering and Gamson, 1987 AAHE Bulletin)
Good practice in undergraduate
education:
1. encourages contact between
students and faculty,
2. develops reciprocity and
cooperation among students,
3. encourages active learning,
4. gives prompt feedback,
5. emphasizes time on task,
6. communicates high
expectations, and
7. respects diverse talents and
38. Technology Tools

learning online. London: Kogan Page.
40. Salmon’s Model: Stages of Needs of Online Learners
1.Access and Motivation
Student Need: Get connected to course, access support
materials, understand purpose and develop motivation.
Instructor Response: Provide invitation and welcome, give
clear direction regarding access and support. Motivation
plan in place.
Specific suggestions: Consistent, well organized system of
presenting guidelines and instructions. Multiple
communication avenues (email and course site, at least).
Provide opportunity for informal exchange of personal
information (student lounge, autobiographical statements,
photos, etc.) Live gatherings, if possible for relation building
and question and answer sessions. Clear and appropriate
objectives, assignments and assessment.
41. Salmon’s Model: Stages of Needs of Online Learners
2. Online Socialization
Student Need: Develop a sense of belonging and identity,
learn to use the system(s) for accessing information and
communication, understand guidelines for behavior.
Instructor Response: Modeling appropriate interactivity,
making connections between participants and the learning
environment, promoting respect.
Specific suggestions: Detailed syllabus and guidelines for
expectations. Seed discussion areas with examples of
postings, provide prompt feedback to initial posts.
Encourage off-task communication in a lounge or “getting
to know you” space. Redundant communication on
expectations.
42. Salmon’s Model: Stages of Needs of Online Learners
3. Information Exchange
Student Need: Select and use information, exchange ideas
with others. Appropriately constrain interaction and
information retrieval.
Instructor Response: Directing effort. Presenting guidelines
for interaction, research and assignments. Personalizing
course activities.
Specific suggestions: Share examples, assessment rubrics.
Provide access to information sources, coach on
information sources. Respond and interact with discretion.
43. Salmon’s Model: Stages of Needs of Online Learners
4. Knowledge Construction
Student Need: Assert individual views. Make meaning and
share new learning. Develop collaborative efforts at
knowledge building.
Instructor Response: Group building. Facilitating discussion
and connecting the conversations with the content.
Specific suggestions: Encourage collaboration, provide
options on assignment if appropriate. Provide opportunities
for demonstration of learning through reflection and
application projects. Make introductions of people,
resources, ideas.
44. Salmon’s Model: Stages of Needs of Online Learners
5. Development
Student Need: Have and accept responsibility for self-
learning. Challenge assumptions regarding process and
content.
Instructor Response: Openness to challenge. Support for
self-directed learning. Troubleshoot technical or process
issues.
Specific suggestions: Provide appropriate and timely
feedback. Check and recheck published information.
Monitor discussions closely. Offer ongoing “office hours”.
45. Communication and Feedback Timelines
1.Do not “over-participate” in forum discussions. Respond to
conversations where appropriate, to answer direct questions,
to clear up misunderstanding or to further a key point.
2.Consider offering a general impression of a conversation (a
summary and analysis of a discussion as opposed to detailed
feedback to every message.
3.Establish and publish firm commitments for responding to
student communications:
a. Phone
and
email: 24
hour
response
b. Course
discussio
n posting:
46. Suggestions for Success
•Instructors invest more time working with smaller sections of
students.
•Instructors take an active role in pursuing lurkers or non-
participants.
•Course planning and syllabi allow time for relationship
building and reflection as primary activities of the course.
•Depth of learning is a desired outcome, as much as or more
than breadth.
•Interaction amongst the participants is rewarded in the formal
assessment of the course.
47. Suggestions for Success
•Instructors model commitment to relationships through
prompt and respectful replies to inquiries and discussion.
•Personal and technical needs and concerns of students are
attended to and addressed appropriately.
•The instructor invites interactions outside of the formal course
space.
•Feedback is prompt and readily available.

52. Assumptions
•Asynchronous vs. Synchronous elements
•Fully online vs. Hybrid or Mixed Delivery
•Orientation of Instructor regarding Nature of Learning, Role
of Instructor, Role of Student
•Activities (Reading, writing, discussing, building of…,
demonstrating, presenting
•Level of intellectual Activity (see Bloom)
•Relationships: Student to student, Student to content,
student to teacher, student to group
53. Bloom’s Taxonomy (updated)
Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information?
Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts?
Applying: can the student use the information in a new way?
Analysing: can the student distinguish between the different parts?
Evaluating: can the student justify a stand or decision?
Creating: can the student create new product or point of view?
