This document contains 3 topics for a group debate assignment at University of Aizu. Topic 1 discusses whether social media means governments can no longer suppress information. Topic 2 debates if all universities should use learning management systems like Moodle or Schoology. Topic 3 questions if 3D printing will be the next industrial revolution. For each topic, the document provides background information, examples, advantages and disadvantages, references and sources.
This document is a parent questionnaire evaluating the ICT World program. It asks parents about the program's impact on developing student motivation in sciences and technology, general school motivation, ICT skills, language skills, and soft skills. It also asks about effects on teacher-student relationships, interdisciplinary approaches, openness to other schools, the European dimension, new teaching systems, family involvement, local stakeholder involvement, school climate, and attractiveness of the school.
The document discusses the Le@rning project, which aims to improve education through technology. It involves developing a Knowledge Sharing Platform (KSP) that is intended to be a virtual learning community and resource for students. The KSP will provide educational content, online mentoring support, and tools for collaboration between teachers and students. The goals are to expand learning opportunities, empower students, and better engage disadvantaged students through personalized learning plans and virtual support.
This document discusses promoting technology-enabled knowledge sharing of open educational resources (OER). It addresses three challenges to building and sharing knowledge: understanding local knowledge, extracting it, and representing it for others. Three cases are presented where knowledge was shared about course transformations, using OER, and effective OER use. Technological tools can capture and represent knowledge portably. Benefits include more productive, engaging, and sustainable knowledge building and sharing. Three technology-supported environments are described: an incubation space, a gallery for inspiration, and an open forum commons for communities of practice.

I gave this talk at Västra Götalandsregionen in Göteborg on June 14, 2012.
In times when knowledge is becoming obsolete faster and faster a four years' university student enrolled for a technical degree might face that half of what has been learned during the first year will be out of date by the third year of study.
Educational settings will need to adapt to new structures and models to keep the pace. Education at large struggles to update their courses within shorter and shorter cycles or to develop new ones, with lessons still being largely given like 100 years ago. Higher education – but also continuing education – should keep an eye on the learning opportunities the web provides, especially in contexts where practical experience is considered equally or even more important than “theoretical” education at school or university.
Understanding web success cases like e.g. Open Source Software communities can help educational organizations to adapt themselves to the new realities. OSS relies on self-directed learning, and this kind of learning is increasingly important in times of rapid pace of change where most of our skills that we learn today will be obsolete within few years.
The document discusses the final evaluation by headmasters of the ICT World program. It lists several ways the program has improved schools, including developing interdisciplinary approaches, openness to international cooperation, and work placements abroad. It also strengthened relationships between students and teachers and improved teamwork across the school. The program aims to develop students' general motivation, ICT skills, language skills, and soft skills like autonomy, responsibility, teamwork, and creativity.

The document proposes establishing an Academic Technology Community of Practice (CoP) at Portland State University. A CoP is defined as an ongoing interaction between people who share goals and practices in a particular domain, like online teaching. The proposed CoP would involve faculty fellows and student internships to collaborate on technology-enhanced teaching. It would provide workshops, field trips, and other events to encourage exploration of teaching practices using technology. Administrative support would manage meetings and communications, and provide training to orient new members and disseminate technologies to a wider audience. The goal is to create a dynamic learning community to support the development and sharing of effective teaching with technology.
The document discusses a study conducted with pre-service primary education teachers at the University of Salamanca on using wikis as a collaborative learning tool. Students were organized into groups to study different schools, creating wikis on the university's e-learning platform to collaborate. They visited schools and wrote reports on the wiki. Most students found wikis a useful collaborative tool, though some faced technical issues. The study provided qualitative data showing wikis can effectively support collaborative work among university students.
The SupSys project aims to develop an alternative system to traditional education and training models that supports continuous professional development. The system seeks to flexibly provide competency development solutions to meet organizational needs. It will use contemporary media and online learning communities to strengthen individuals' qualifications over time. The project involves researching and developing personal learning environments and collaborative learning networks to foster cross-organizational learning and help small and medium-sized enterprises adopt effective lifelong learning approaches.
The StartUp project aims to foster entrepreneurship through open educational resources (OER) and personalized learning paths. It will develop an OER gateway that will assess users' entrepreneurial skills and provide curated OERs to address skills gaps. The gateway will include authoring and rating systems to support sharing and improving OER quality. The project brings together partners from several European countries and will involve testing the OER gateway with a growing community of educators and learners.

The hub includes learning pathways, study groups, topic presentations, Q&A sessions, and opportunities to connect and collaborate. Live online events will also be held where community members can share insights on effective OER teaching practices. Course structures include badges, maps, infographics, scorecards, and discussion questions to support learning.
This document summarizes Howard Kramer's presentation on teaching accessibility and inclusive design in higher education. It discusses research showing a lack of accessibility education in curricula and benefits of including it. A survey found students highly valued courses addressing universal design and accessibility. The presentation provides example curricula, resources for teaching these topics, and opportunities for collaboration like an open textbook and conference.
MEDEAnet is a project with 8 partners in 7 European countries that is promoting media-based learning through local training, online resources, and knowledge sharing. It involves gathering information about media literacy policies, initiatives, and practices in the partner countries and publishing reports online to share knowledge more broadly. The reports examine topics like definitions of media literacy, measuring media literacy levels, curriculum design approaches, and teacher training. They have found diversity in how media literacy is addressed across education systems, but also some common challenges around supporting teachers. The project aims to enhance understanding of best practices in media education through its research and knowledge sharing activities.
International Journal on Integrating Technology in Education (IJITE)IJITE
This journal is an interdisciplinary form for educators who wish to improve the quality of instruction through the use of computers and how to implement it effectively into instruction.

The document discusses eTwinning, a program that promotes school cooperation and teacher professional development across Europe. It has over 130,000 participating schools and 280,000 registered teachers. The document examines how eTwinning can help address current issues in education like declining teacher skills and the lack of technology use in schools. It also explores how eTwinning serves as a laboratory of innovation by nurturing new teaching practices and how its approach could help mainstream innovation in education systems across Europe.
OER refers to open educational resources which include full courses, course materials, and other learning content that can be freely accessed and used online. MIT's OpenCourseWare initiative is an example of an institutional OER program that makes course materials from over 1,900 courses freely available on the web. Educators use OER in a variety of ways like reusing content, adapting course syllabi, and combining OER materials with other resources. There are benefits to creating OER like lowering costs for students and fostering pedagogical innovation through customizable learning materials.
OER-based Degree Pathways: Emerging Trends and Lessons Learned at U.S. Commun...Achieving the Dream
The rising cost of textbooks has been cited by students as a major barrier to achieving their educational goals. A study by the U.S. based Student Public Interest Research Group (StudentPIRGs.org) found that almost half of students surveyed take fewer or different classes based on the prices of textbooks. Two-thirds of students skipped buying a textbook because of cost. U.S. community colleges have been promoting the adoption of high quality open educational resources (OER) to alleviate costs but the impact on students has been dependent on the availability of OER in varied subjects area. The emergence of OER-based pathways however has the potential to maximize impact for students who want to complete an associate degree or a career technical education (CTE) certificate.
OER-based degrees, also called “Zero-Textbook-Cost degrees”, are pathways to a degree or credential with no textbook costs. Faculty have redesigned all courses in the pathway to use open educational resources (OER) for instructional materials. These degrees are gaining in popularity particularly at community colleges where registering for these courses can save students up to 25% on the cost of attendance for a 2-year degree. Faculty also enjoy greater academic freedom when they can select and customize open materials to enhance student engagement and support learning outcomes. In practice, it has been shown that students following a guided pathway complete their educational degrees more quickly resulting in less costs and more career opportunities.
Hear from a panel of pioneering OER degree college leaders from Virginia, Washington, and California on how these degrees benefit their students and support their institutional mission and goals for open access and degree completion. In addition, panelists will share lessons learned for OER degree development and the challenges of sustaining and expanding the degrees across the institution.
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) strategies and best practices that contribute to success in open access initiatives in higher education. It outlines some key OER initiatives at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) including All UNAM Online, which makes all of UNAM's public domain content available under an open access policy. The document emphasizes collaboration and sharing of experiences, lessons learned, and best practices to improve the quantity and quality of OER available in Spanish.
The piano evolved from earlier stringed instruments like the harp and harpsichord. The first piano was invented in Italy in 1709 and was originally called the pianoforte since it could play both loudly and softly. This new capability made the piano hugely popular, and many famous composers began writing pieces for the piano. Today's pianos have evolved further and some can even play themselves, while digital pianos produce sound electronically rather than with strings.
This document provides information about Crossing Borders, an organization run by medical students that aims to provide direct assistance, education, and advocacy for refugees and asylum seekers. It introduces Crossing Borders representatives and outlines projects from 2011, including establishing a buddy system at a drop-in center, detention center visits, and educational sessions. Plans for 2012 are described, such as training days, monthly education sessions, continuing work with the drop-in center and detention centers, and establishing an education program for newly arrived refugees. Various roles within Crossing Borders are listed and the application process is outlined.

The document is a presentation prepared by Loubna Akrout. It discusses key points about a topic but does not provide enough contextual details to fully understand the content or purpose of the presentation. The document only identifies the presenter and does not give any other summarizable information in 3 sentences or less.
The document examines how Twitter cultivates an image of authenticity and immediacy for celebrities' tweets. It hypothesizes that Twitter users believe celebrities' tweets due to this image. A literature review explores how Twitter portrays real-time updates and examples show how it connects people during emergencies. However, tweets are often "raw" without fact-checking. Research through surveys and interviews found that while some users fully believe tweets, others are more skeptical due to awareness of media manipulation. In conclusion, tweets should not always be taken at face value as authentic representations of celebrities.
The document discusses key concepts of human rights including:
- The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted by the UN in 1948 and outlines fundamental human rights that everyone is entitled to.
- Human rights are universal, inviolable, and interdependent - they should apply to all people equally without discrimination and cannot be violated or sacrificed against others.
- There are individual rights like the rights to life, education, and freedom from torture as well as group rights for vulnerable populations.
- Morocco has made progress on human rights but continued abuses raise concerns about its commitment to democratization.
- Amnesty International works to document human rights abuses worldwide and advocate for victims.

Her portfolio then displays 7 graphic design projects, 2 CI designs, 1 logo design, 1 powerpoint design, 1 media kit design, and 1 magazine design spread. Contact information is provided at the end.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.
Brian Wilson presented on starting a journalism day camp for younger students to get them interested and involved in his high school's journalism program. He discussed finding a point person in every school to spread the word, registering students online, preparing materials and sessions on topics like writing, photography and design. Over 100 students attended the free day camp which included a keynote, round robin sessions on different journalism skills, lunch and prizes. The benefits included getting the next generation interested in journalism and building involvement in the program within the community.
In the 19th century, Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire with a population that was around 4% Jewish, 8% Christian and majority Muslim. There was no conflict between religious communities. In the late 1800s, Jews faced persecution in Europe which led Britain to agree to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine in 1917. After Britain gained control of Palestine in 1918, a new wave of Zionist immigration began and tensions rose between immigrants and Palestinians throughout the 1920s and 1930s over control of the land. The Palestinian revolt from 1936-1939 aimed to stop immigration and gain independence but was crushed by Britain, leaving thousands of Palestinians killed or expelled from their villages.
Motivation,early theories of motivation and job satisfactionanwaar alam
Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory proposes that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs like physical survival and safety before moving on to more advanced needs for love, esteem, and self-actualization. McGregor's Theory X sees workers as largely unmotivated while Theory Y sees workers as generally self-motivated. Herzberg's two-factor theory distinguishes between motivators like achievement that improve job satisfaction and hygiene factors like pay that prevent dissatisfaction. Job satisfaction depends on intrinsic motivation from the work itself as well as extrinsic factors like compensation, supervision, and coworkers. Satisfied workers tend to be more productive, less absent, and less likely to quit their jobs.

MISP: A Multiple-Impact Social Partnership Model to promote Educators’ Develo...M I Santally
The organization Helping Our People has been setup in 2011 by a team of education professionals working at the Virtual Centre for Innovative Technologies (VCILT) at the University of Mauritius. In 2009, the VCILT embarked on the SIDECAP project, funded by the EU-ACP in a consortium regrouping the Open University of the UK, the University of the West Indies, the University of the South Pacific and the University of the Highlands and Islands. The work of the VCILT in the context of the SIDECAP project was essentially focused on the repurposing of Open Educational Resources to fit in the local Mauritian Context. At the same time, the VCILT received an internal grant to work on the development of interactive learning materials using the integration of text-to-speech technology in instructionally designed PowerPoint presentations. In this paper we report how the research activities of the two projects led to a series of development and applications in the real-world context for the continuous professional development of educators, the establishment of a social entity, an NGO called Helping Our People, a partnership with Microsoft Indian Ocean and French Pacific under the Partners in Learning Program and the Youth Empowerment Program to alleviate the suffering of those living in vulnerable conditions in the country.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
