The document discusses how identity and embodiment in virtual worlds can impact education. It explores trends in using virtual worlds like Second Life for language learning and discusses perspectives on the future of education. Some argue virtual worlds allow for more engaged learning through embodied avatars, while others note issues like technical difficulties, accessibility, and a lack of consideration for cultural and social factors. Overall, the document examines the potential and challenges of virtual learning environments and embodied identity.
This document summarizes a presentation on incorporating Web 2.0 tools into classroom practice. It describes technologies like RSS, blogs, wikis, podcasting, social bookmarking, social networking, Flickr, YouTube, e-portfolios and virtual worlds. Examples are given of how each tool can be used for teaching, learning, collaboration and professional development. The document concludes that adopting social software in schools requires developing teacher and student comfort, confidence and creativity with these new technologies.
The document discusses using a personal website as a medium for teaching. Some key points:
- Personal websites allow for strategic self-presentation and elaborate promotion of one's academic achievements in ways not possible otherwise.
- Academic personal websites have advantages for both teachers and students, such as allowing teachers to post materials when unable to teach in person, and giving students additional resources.
- When creating an academic personal website, the focus should be on high-quality academic content rather than flashy design elements, which could annoy or slow down visitors. Concise, readable text and layout is most important.
This document is the keynote presentation "The lure of the red shoes" by Paul Prinsloo at the First North West University Annual Teaching and Learning Conference in South Africa. The presentation explores how metrics and performance measures have shaped faculty work, often leading to overwork, exhaustion, and a loss of autonomy and passion. It references the fairy tale "The Red Shoes" as an allegory for the pressure to constantly perform and achieve. The presentation argues for a "slow scholarship" approach that values time for reflection, community, and resisting neoliberal pressures around productivity and outputs.
The document discusses A Domain of One's Own, a program that gives students their own domain name and web hosting to develop their digital identity and portfolio. It provides examples of universities like the University of Mary Washington that have implemented the program. It notes that learning management systems and e-portfolios controlled by schools do not provide authentic experiences for students' future careers. The document also discusses Course Chords, a program at Emory University that focuses on integrative learning and having students present their work at a symposium.
The document discusses using mobile devices and web-based tools to enhance civic engagement and service-learning. It provides examples of various online tools and apps that can help with volunteer recruitment, project mapping, and virtual volunteering opportunities. A social networking site for community service directors is proposed to facilitate collaboration around civic engagement initiatives.

Beyond the virtual campus: Technologies for virtual learning communitiesSu White
Abstract:
Information and communication technologies have been used formally for many years to build the infrastructure of the virtual campus. However, rich student experiences are a product of both educational and social learning - whether they aske place in the real world or virtually. Like the real world, online communities can flourish and evolve dynamically creating opportunities for social learning which will sustain the learner long after their formal programme of students has officially ended. This presentation will examine the range of different social learning opportunities available and compare the contributions of formal and informal social learning to the growth and sustainability of virtual learning communities
The document discusses a workshop on connecting students to the world through technology and collaboration. It covers topics like creative commons, MOOCs, amazing apps for education, and how technology impacts the digital footprint of students. Participants were encouraged to reflect, share, think about connections, and debate ideas to build understanding.

Education in Abundance: Network Literacies & LearningBonnie Stewart
This document discusses the changing nature of literacy and learning in an era of knowledge abundance enabled by digital networks and the Internet. It argues that we must rethink what it means to be literate and how education is structured to take advantage of network tools that connect people and allow knowledge to be shared more openly. Key network literacies discussed include developing an online identity, contributing knowledge through participation as a resident rather than just a visitor, and making connections by engaging with audiences and building communities of shared interests through hashtags and other networking tools. The focus is on how education can cultivate learners who can navigate and help others navigate a world of abundant, openly accessible knowledge distributed through online networks.

Using one to one devices for digital citizenship ETL523 task1 LNLourdesNdaira
This document discusses digital citizenship in schools in the context of a one-to-one device environment. It begins by outlining the need to understand digital citizenship, assess how schools are fostering it, and ensure positive digital citizenship among students. Digital citizenship is defined as the rights and responsibilities of being part of online communities. The document then discusses various elements of digital citizenship including access, communication, literacy, and security. It provides examples of how students can demonstrate digital citizenship by Year 10. The document concludes by encouraging collaboration among teachers to promote digital citizenship and support each other's professional development.
The Association of College and Research Librarians Virtual World Interest Group held a panel discussion on MOOCs and the impact on libraries, higher education, and information literacy.
University of Limerick (Training Session, June)Bex Lewis
This document provides an overview of using social media for raising one's academic profile online. It discusses common misconceptions about digital media, the importance of having an online presence through platforms like Google, YouTube and academic networks. Specific guidance is given on setting up profiles on Twitter, Facebook, blogs and LinkedIn. Considerations around copyright and using multimedia in teaching are also briefly covered.
The document discusses several topics related to educational values in a digital age including:
- The nature of knowledge and values in education as well as digital learning approaches.
- Quotes about the goals of education and how education is transforming with technology.
- Topics like personalized learning, learning styles, barriers to creativity, and the potential for creative use of technology in teaching.
- Challenges around assessing student learning and "squeeze texts" or creative rewriting of texts for mobile devices.
This document summarizes a 3-year research project that explored how virtual worlds could be used to engage disadvantaged youth. The project worked with 44 students from a culturally diverse, low-income high school in Melbourne, Australia. Students were introduced to the virtual world Second Life, where they could customize avatars, explore the environment, and participate in activities. However, students faced barriers like limited technology access at home and a digital divide. While the virtual world offered new opportunities, it did not mitigate the layers of disadvantage students experienced in their everyday lives.

Abstract:
In many countries, the increasing costs associated with higher education combined with reduced funding for public education during a period of fiscal restraint threatens the sustainability of current models of provision. Glenn Harlan Reynolds (2012) warns of a “Higher Education Bubble” in the United States. Sebastian Thrun, founder of Udacity.com, a for-profit platform for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), predicts that there will be only 10 institutions delivering higher education in 50 years (Steven Leckart, 2012). In contrast to these doomsday scenarios, Audrey Watters (2013) and others counter that professors and the institutions that employ them are not necessarily resistant to change, and that we should not “hack education” in a way that dismantles public institutions and threatens local economies, the community, social justice, and the public good.
In this presentation, I briefly trace the development of MOOCs and I discuss the differences between the high profile platforms that rely on lecture videos and machine marking (xMOOCs) and earlier experiments that follow what George Siemens refers to as a “Connectivist” approach (2005), which encourages participants to build their own personal learning network (cMOOCs). Using a case study method, I discuss three types of Design courses that leverage open strategies and serve as exemplars of “digital scholarship” (Martin Weller, 2011). The first, #Phonar (Photography and Narrative), is a Coventry University course that uses blogging and social media to connect place-based students to online participants. The second, ds106 (Digital Storytelling), is an online-only course offered by the University of Mary Washington that requires students to interact with one another and with the wider world through blogs, social media and an Internet radio station. The third, DOCC2013: Dialogues on Feminism and Technology, is a Distributed Open Collaborative Course that was offered for the first time in the fall of 2013 by fifteen universities in the United States and Canada, with academics working collaboratively across institutions.
I argue that by encouraging a paradigm shift in education from Push (broadcast) to Pull (accessing an archive) to Co-create (collaborative production) Design education can provide positive examples of how we can do more, and reach more, sustainably. Blurring the boundaries between teacher and student, online and offline, and formal and informal, education can enhance learning and extend its benefits beyond the lecture theatre and design studio. This pedagogical shift is in line with contemporary Design practice, in which collaborative and participatory processes are crucial, especially when working to solve wicked problems.
This document provides an overview of managing digital footprints. It discusses what a digital footprint is, research conducted at the University of Edinburgh on digital footprints, and factors that contribute to one's digital footprint such as social media, location data, and online searches. The document notes that digital footprints can impact professional and personal reputation. It provides tips for taking ownership of one's digital footprint such as regularly searching for oneself online and reviewing privacy settings. Resources for further information and managing digital footprints are also listed.

This presentation discusses some examples of relevant OER projects in Indonesia and Brazil, and explores questions of extending access to higher education in African countries.
This document provides a summary of an accessibility and inclusion forum held on 12 November 2013. It includes statistics on disability rates in the UK working population and brief descriptions of programs discussed at the forum, including SpringboardTV which provides work experience for learners, and supported internships for those with learning difficulties or disabilities. The agenda lists presentations on employability skills, case studies from various colleges, and discussions around the use of technology, open badges, and events.
Using Technology to Engage Your CommunityEmily Clasper
This document discusses how libraries can use technology to engage their communities. It begins by looking at connecting with members through social media like Tumblr to start conversations and encourage learning. The document then discusses how libraries can serve their communities through technology by taking services mobile with initiatives like bookmobiles, pop-up libraries, and distributing e-content. It explores how technology allows libraries to grow lifelong learning by facilitating connections between learners and experts and providing spaces for creation and collaboration. The presentation argues that the mission of libraries is to improve society by facilitating knowledge creation in their communities through participation and engagement both in-person and virtually.
