The service aims to improve access to education for people in small, rural and underserved areas.
This document outlines the agenda for a workshop on project management and implementation. The workshop will focus on two topics: participant mobility and managing international partnerships. For participant mobility, the goal is to identify and address barriers to incorporating non-staff mobility into projects funded by Erasmus+. For managing partnerships, the aim is to determine best practices and processes for facilitating successful collaboration between project partners. Both sessions will involve introducing the topic, a case study, group discussion, and sharing lessons learned.
The document discusses using web 2.0 technologies to increase student engagement in different areas at the University of Otago. It describes using ePortfolios to help dental students map their goals and experiences, using blogs and wikis to improve language learning, and developing an interactive 3D animation to help physiology students learn about the cardiac cycle. While some students found these tools useful, others said they did not have time to use ePortfolios or did not see the value in moving to new approaches. The document advocates for more widespread and experimental use of web 2.0 services to engage students in their learning.

Preparing for the 21st century learning experience 2018Rob Peregoodoff
This document discusses how education is undergoing a transformation driven by new technologies. It is no longer the case that professors solely control knowledge - students now have widespread access to information through the internet. Learning management systems, originality checking, audience response systems, webinar tools, analytics, e-portfolios, blockchain, and digital badging are some of the technologies driving this revolution by facilitating online and blended learning. Key skills for modern graduates include critical thinking and collaboration abilities needed to succeed in this new environment.
The document discusses different types of questions, including yes/no questions which require a yes or no answer, and information questions which require more details. It also discusses question words like who, what, when, where, why used to ask questions, spoken contractions in questions, exercises to practice questions, how to use "how about" and "what about" to make suggestions or ask for more information, and how to form tag questions by adding a short question to the end of a statement.
This story tells of a race between a hare and tortoise where the hare initially wins by getting overconfident and resting, allowing the tortoise to win. They race again, with the hare winning by maintaining a fast, consistent pace. In a third race changing the route, the tortoise wins by adapting to its strengths by swimming where the hare cannot. They realize teamwork is best and race as a team, both winning. The moral is that to succeed, one must work to their strengths, not give up, and leverage teamwork rather than only competing individually.
Using Webquests To Maximize Language Learningjenniffersol
Webquests are inquiry-oriented activities where students interact with online resources to complete tasks related to a topic.
