This session outlines the innovative use of Blackboard Mobile learn in a blended, project-based task as part of a high-level academic skills course. The use of this tool enabled the redefinition of task design <i>(Puentedura, 2014)</i> in the form of a collaborative, situated, mobile learning experience (Pegrum, 2014).
The project highlights the value of learner- centred task design in developing research skills, and motivating and engaging students in authentic and meaningful learning experiences. This session will be of interest to educational designers and lecturers leveraging project-based approaches, mobile learning experiences, and learner-generated content.

This project briefing, presented at the METRO's 2nd Annual Conference (#metrocon14) on January 15, 2014 at Baruch College, shows how key members of the Purchase College Library and the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Center came together to transform the year-long Student Projects process. At Purchase College, Student Projects is the blanket term used to refer to the ‘culminating student experience’ and includes senior projects, capstone papers, and master’s theses. We will show how librarians, catalogers, developers, and TLTC staff partnered to create a workspace that has taken Student Projects from a traditional paper-based process and transformed it into a dynamic, digital, student-centered venture that is interwoven with reference, instruction, assessment, access, and other practical innovations such as the ability for faculty readers/sponsors to approve projects within the workspace. We will explain how we adapted technologies already in place at Purchase (Moodle, LibGuides, and Drupal) to enhance and streamline the process of researching, developing, submitting, and archiving Student Projects. The flexibility of these systems allows us to respond to student and faculty feedback quickly and make adjustments as needed. We will present our successes, challenges, and share our current plans for developing an open, fully searchable, and aesthetically mindful digital repository. We will also discuss future plans for a large-scale digitization effort to make accessible nearly 40 years of Student Projects, allowing for better and broader access to this collection of important student scholarship and creativity. We hope that our collaboration and the development of the Student Projects digital repository will make a meaningful contribution to Purchase College’s institutional memory and serve as an inspiration to other institutions interested in preserving student scholarship.

Scaling r&d org while maintaining qualityAviran Mordo
As a fast growing company Wix R&D doubles every year. In this talk I will describe how we structured our R&D division, what we are doing to build and keep an "A" team of developers and our dev centric and quality based culture that supports innovation.
Like many companies, Chevron has been exploring how to give its employees across the globe quality learning experiences through the integration of technology and new blended designs and delivery methods. This move from offline to online learning is not an easy journey and is often a bumpy one. In the end, it is about finding out what learning experiences and resources are most useful to your employees and how they contribute to effective learning that can be applied on the job. In this session, Mark Veary tells the recent story of how Chevron has tried to navigate this offline to online terrain and how they have found themselves somewhere in the middle of things.

This presentation was made at the University of the South Pacific's Regional Campus Directors Forum in 2010, Laucala Campus, Suva, Fiji Islands with collegue, Louise Vakamocea.
We would like to acknowledge the slideshare presentation by Sunnie Kim of Michigan State University on the topic Intro to Oer from from which a great portion of this presentation is based upon.
Presentation I gave at CMU\'s 2008 Robotics Educators Conference.
From the abstract:
"Educators have discovered that robots provide new and exciting ways to teach students about STEM concepts. Given the advantages of robotics-based education schools across the nation are busy creating after-school robotics programs. Although the programs are well-received by teachers, students and parents, a pattern of challenges is beginning to emerge:
• Busy schedules - given the various demands on free time for both teachers and students it is often difficult to carve out a common time for everyone to meet face-to-face.
• Meeting time is limited - if a common meeting time can be found it is often just an hour or two per week. Such a short time period makes it difficult to both teach lessons as well as apply the lessons to actually build robots.
• Distance to school limits who can participate - Students who commute to school from far distances may not be able to fully participate due to transportation issues.
• Knowledge silos - Classroom-based programs tend to form “soft boundaries” that inhibit the transfer of knowledge, best practices, and lessons learned across school districts. Lessons learned and innovative solutions created by students in a particular classroom often stay just within that classroom.
This presentation will share lessons-learned from teaching summer camps and after-school programs using a traditional instructor-led teaching approach. In the presentation the author will describe his on-going work of migrating to a blended learning approach using Web 2.0 community technologies integrated with a Learning Management System.
The goal is to have students first use the web-based LMS to learn the robot-related STEM concepts and then meet face-to-face to perform hands-on labs. The hypothesis examined in this presentation is whether using an LMS helps students learn core concepts more effectively, thereby enabling hands-on sessions to focus on the application of the newly acquired knowledge. The LMS selected for this program provides a patented learning model that has been proven to significantly improve students’ ability to retain key learning points over an extended period. An ancillary benefit is the ability to provide insight into a student’s learning progress to key stakeholders such as instructors and parents. Access to the LMS and community website is being offered to schools and home school groups free of charge."
This presentation was given together with Marjon Baas.
To gain more insight into practices of reuse of open learning materials, a survey study has been conducted in two different settings: 1) within a Bachelor program for ICT offered within one institution and 2) in a national Community of Practice on Bachelor of Nursing.
A total of 74 teachers responded on the survey for ICT and 118 teachers for Nursing. An overview of results:
Learning materials most used (overall)
Nursing: Slide decks, assignments, video; ICT: Assignments, slide decks, video
Learning materials most reused as-is (relative)
Nursing: Papers, video, 3rd party courses; ICT: Papers, digital books, digital tools (e.g. online coding environment)
Learning materials most reused with adaptations (relative)
Nursing: Courses from colleagues, slide decks, assignments; ICT: Courses from colleagues, 3rd party courses, slide decks
Learning materials created with no or limited reuse (relative)
Nursing: Tests, games, slide decks; ICT: Tests, assignments, slide decks
Chi-square tests have been executed to find out if observed differences on the use of learning materials are statistically significant. These tests revealed that reuse is significantly more common among teachers in ICT than in Nursing. Furthermore, significant differences were found in the types of learning materials used by teachers in the two settings. Possible explanations for these results as provided by participants during a presentation are differences in pedagogy, different demands from society on the programs and ICT professionals being more accustomed to reuse. Additional research is needed to explore these differences.
In the coming months, we plan to execute the survey within several Universities of Applied Sciences across different disciplines to gain more insight in the extent and the different types of reuse. The results can be used to provide more tailored support to teachers on adoption of OER. In the presentation we will report and discuss the results of this study.
The butterfly effect: how connecting digital learning materials to the constr...Robert Schuwer
On 1 January 2019, an ambitious program took off to boost innovation of Higher Education in the Netherlands using ICT. The shared ambitions of this program are: better connection to the job market, making education more flexible and learning smarter and better by using technology. The program is divided into 7 areas (zones. In each zone, institutions of HE cooperate to realize these ambitions.
One of the zones is called “Towards digital (open) educational resources”. In this zone, 7 universities and 2 UoAS collaborate to realize the ambition that in 2023, HE institutions in the Netherlands are able to offer teachers and learners the opportunity to determine and use an optimal mix of learning resources. To accomplish this, a.o. improving the technical and organisational infrastructure and enhancing an open infrastructure seamless and transparent with a more closed one is needed. Stimulating the use of open resources is part of the ambition, but open is not considered a dogma in the optimal mix. This is an important difference compared to other programs aiming at stimulating sharing and reuse of OER, treating openness in isolation with non-open resources. We believe that this difference, together with taking the educational vision of the teacher as starting point will widen adoption of open sharing and reuse.
For 2019, the main activity of this zone is to conduct research into the ways students and teachers determine their optimal mix of learning resources and the underlying principles. The results will be the basis for the zone activities in the remaining time of the program. Other activities in 2019 comprise improvements to the available national technical infrastructure and creating awareness among teachers about the opportunities of open pedagogy and open educational practices. In the presentation we will report about the activities and the results of the research.
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.
