Social Software and Web2.0 in Teacher Education and Teacher Training (Report)Marion R. Gruber
The pilot project analyzed the use of social software and web tools in teacher education. It resulted in an online wiki resource on this topic with over 3,000 page views from around the world. The wiki covered eight main topics related to using social tools for education, including social bookmarking, collaborative writing, and blogging. Educational application scenarios were developed for six of the topics. The project engaged teachers, teacher trainees, and educators to share experiences using social tools and identify opportunities and limitations. Overall, the wiki provided a collaborative knowledge base on integrating social media into teacher learning and training.
This document discusses web-enhanced learning and online collaboration tools. It defines web-enhanced learning as using internet technology to create student-centered learning environments. Oliver et al. organized web-enhanced learning into four categories: information access, networked instruction, interactive learning, and materials development. Some key advantages of web-enhanced learning include improved access to education, better integration for non-full time students, and acquisition of technological skills. The document also discusses online collaboration tools like blogs, forums, wikis, media galleries, and Skype that can be used to facilitate collaboration.
The document discusses active learning and how it can be facilitated through online tools. It defines active learning as anything other than passive listening, and emphasizes learner-centered and collaborative approaches. It then provides examples of active learning tools like wikis, discussion forums, and the Moodle platform. It encourages shifting away from purely content-focused e-learning towards more social and collaborative models of c-learning.
1. The document discusses using social bookmarking software to create an online book club for students on a master's program. By sharing reading notes on the software, students could compare notes and engage in discussions about the readings in a social, visible way.
2. Students were required to use Diigo social bookmarking software to share reading notes that would feed into their end-of-module literature reviews. Their interactions created a "social annotated bibliography" that was assessed.
3. The research suggests social bookmarking helped make students' reading practices more visible and explicit. It also supported their meaning-making about academic texts in a semi-formal environment.
Facilitating Active Learning Utilizing the Online Environment of NfomediaMalinka Ivanova
The document discusses active learning strategies that can be facilitated using the online learning environment Nfomedia. It proposes using concept mapping, project-based learning, and personal learning environments to engage students in knowledge gathering, application, distribution, and analysis. The strategies aim to clearly track and motivate students by having them summarize, analyze, remember, create, explore, discuss and share information to document their progression. The document concludes that a prototype combining these active learning methods was tested successfully in Nfomedia over one semester.
The document discusses web-enhanced learning and its advantages and disadvantages. It describes web-enhanced learning as using internet technology to create student-centered learning environments. Web-enhanced learning is organized into four categories: information access, networked instruction, interactive learning, and materials development. Some advantages include improved access to education and interactions between students and instructors, while some disadvantages include ease of cheating and bias towards more tech-savvy students. Various online collaboration tools that can be used for web-enhanced learning are also outlined, such as blogs, forums, wikis, and media galleries.

The document discusses visually exploring information spaces through enhanced publications and visualizations. It provides examples of enhanced publications that visualize content and information spaces. Additionally, it discusses challenges of visualizing the content of repositories and linking information spaces through positioning objects in larger information spaces to enable enhanced information retrieval. Visualizations can represent an enhanced publication as an information space, the location of publications in wider information spaces, and the information spaces themselves.

The document discusses a project to enhance scholarly publications in the humanities and social sciences through hybrid forms of publication. The project aims to 1) enhance four published books with supplementary online materials like links, blogs, and visualizations, and 2) develop a database and series of topic-related enhanced publications. Key challenges addressed are preserving dynamic online content, interrelating publication components, and gaining acceptance from publishers and authors.
Presentation, meeting 2, final version, nj, 3 mar2011Nick Jankowski
The document summarizes a seminar meeting that included a pre-recorded presentation by the instructor on defining new media. It discusses readings assigned for the meeting and comments submitted by students. The presentation covered perspectives on new media from theorists like Lievrouw, Livingstone, and Flew. It also discussed following the work of McQuail and addressed questions around the need for new media theory. Students commented that the readings did not address issues like self-selection of news sources and regulation of the internet that have since become important. The meeting concluded with an announcement of the next assignment and opening online discussion forums for the class.
The document provides materials for a workshop on publishing in academic journals, including correspondence between editors and authors, journal style guides, and resources. It summarizes the typical review process for journal submissions, including cover letters, editor decision letters, requests for review, sample reviews, and response letters. The document recommends examining the submission guidelines and back issues of the journal New Media & Society. It also references a chapter on why manuscripts are often rejected and how authors can improve their work. The materials are intended to educate workshop participants on best practices for scholarly publishing.
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.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

1. DOING DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP:
DISCOVERING AND USING DIGITAL
TOOLS IN ACADEMIC WORK
General Information
This course introduces and provides opportunity to practice using a
wide range of digital tools that facilitate academic practice. Some
of the tools are integrated into the services provided by university
and specialized research libraries; some are provided by the
publishers of academic journals. Other tools come from
commercial companies and academic institutions: Google,
Microsoft, Facebook, the Center for History and New Media
(CHNM), and the Oxford Internet Institute (OII). Yet other tools are
contributed by individual scholars and research groups. This
course, designed as a practicum, will introduce a panorama of

Tools
Some of the tools to be considered during the practicum include:
Reference management tools (e.g., RefWorks, Mendeley, EndNote);
Tools for annotating (e.g. Zotero), and note-taking (e.g., OneNote);
Social bookmarking and tagging tools (e.g., RSS, delicious, diigo);
Sharing and exchange sites (e.g., YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, Jing, Camtasia);
Tools supporting collaborative work such as web conferencing (Adobe Connect, WebEx, Elluminate),
co-authoring of texts (e.g., Google Docs), and file sharing (e.g., Dropbox);
Social network sites (e.g., Facebook, Linkedln, Twitter), particularly as used in academic settings;
Game and virtual world sites as venues for learning and scholarship (e.g., Second Life, OpenSim);
Virtual collaboration environments (e.g., wikis, MediaCommons);
Presentation software (e.g., Prezi), venues for publishing (e.g., SlideShare, Scribd), and archiving
scholarship (e.g., SSRN).
Course Activities
For each week of the practicum literature assignments will be
made, along with in-class exercises. In addition, a personal blog
is to be established for this course by each student that will
serve as a journal in which students are to reflect on the topics
of the course and share ‘discoveries’ regarding digital tools for
scholarship. Posts to this blog may be short and may address a
wide range of issues in an equally wide range of styles:
opinions, reflections, reviews, and synopses of readings. These
blogs are designed to present ideas in rough, unpolished form
and may relate to the weekly literature assignments. Further
information on this aspect of the course is contained in a
separate document entitled ‘Blogging in an Academic Setting’,
which is available on the course website.
Short online quizzes will be periodically held at the end of
practicum sessions. Most assignments will be completed
individually, but some collaborative group activities will be
included in the schedule. Although a formal seminar paper is
not one of the requirements for this part of the course,
students will be expected to prepare the ‘building blocks’ of
such papers: notes on literature, composition of short reflective
texts, and bibliographic entries. The practicum will conclude
with recorded presentations (e.g., YouTube videos, slide casts);
a selection of these materials will be viewed and discussed
during the last two sessions of the practicum.
