This document summarizes a presentation about introducing screencasts to support first year students learning computer networking concepts using simulation software. The presenter created short instructional videos demonstrating tasks in the software based on constructivist learning principles. Students provided feedback that the screencasts were helpful as they could pause, replay, and learn at their own pace. Assessment results improved but other factors could have contributed. Students liked the convenience and trusted source of instruction that screencasts provided. The presenter plans to create more advanced screencasts and workshops to share the approach with other lecturers.

Assessment: Managing Tests, Projects, and Grade CenterStaci Trekles
A Fall 2015 workshop on how to manage tests, projects, and the Grade Center within BlackBoard. Includes tips on how to develop effective tests that measure what they intend to measure.
This presentation was given at the KSAALT Al Khobar Chapter Mini Conference in December 2015. It aims to give EFL teachers, who know they must embrace technology, but who are reluctant, a starter on how they can use technology in the classroom. The presentation is by no means exhaustive. You may think that you have better tools, in which case feel free to do another presentation, I will watch with interest! Also it does not take into account any software issues that may have developed since it was given. If I have time, I may write a sequel, so . . . . Watch this space!
A workshop on how to work with all students on an equal playing field, including making sure your courses are accessible to students with disabilities.
The biggest influence of student success, especially in developmental education, is still us, the instructors. Technology can enhance the best skills we possess and multiply the impact of a single instructor. This session will demonstrate how to leverage the technology to enrich student learning.
A workshop about the ins and outs of assessment, including formative vs. summative assessment, and following each of Kirkpatrick's 4 levels, even in education, to produce higher-quality courses and programs that truly measure what they set out to measure.

Flipped Classrooms: A Powerful Teaching Tool, But Not a PanaceaRich McCue
Adopting a flipped classroom approach can free up valuable in-class time by using videos and exercises that students watch and complete as homework, or “pre-work." This allows teachers to more easily differentiate their instruction and allows students to learn at their own pace. Teachers can typically spend more one-on-one time with students who are struggling during class time, and allows for more student selected project based learning to engage students. This talk includes an overview of the flipped learning model, a demonstration of one approach to flipping a classroom, and discussion of where flipped learning works and does not work well—along with equity issues to keep in mind when implementing.

Apologies for the mis-spelt website address on the cover, missing an 'n',
Slideshare doesn't allow document edits, only replacements, which then deletes all prior engagements with it. So we're living with it, with side-eye, of course.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

Lttc showcase & graduate conference
1. LTTC Showcase & Graduate
Conference
Observing the effects of introducing
screencasts to support students using a
computer simulation program to learn
computer networking.
2. Introduction - About Me
• Padraig McDonagh
• Working in Computers since 1990
• Teaching Computer networks since 2003
• Lots of Industry/practical experience
• Teach 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th year subjects
certificate, degree & honours degree.
3. Tutorials can be intense
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=468726
4. My Idea
• To scaffold or support learners.
• I chose first year students.
• Unfamiliar with College level.
• Learning “alien” concepts.
• Using new & complicated software to
do it.

6. My Concept
• Create screencasts.
• Short instructional videos.
• Capture actions on screen.
• Can be used to teach tasks or concepts.
• For my first years behaviourist/constructivist
principles apply.
7. Research
• Four Strands
– Action Research – my methodology
– Network Simulation Programs – are they a valid
teaching tool?
– Screencasts – Do’s and don’ts and theoretical
underpinnings
– Cognitive Load – a specific aspect of learning I had
identified from the other literature
8. Creating the Screencasts
• Started with one tool recommended by a
classmate – Microsoft expressions encoder.
• Ended up using another tool recommended by
another classmate – Activepresenter.
13. Get the feedback and adjust the screencasts
Impressive, I like this didactic tool you are
using to teach very much, for some reason I
missed this particular class where you
explained to the class how to use this
software and I felt it was of big help to me to
make the assignment and learn what I
missed in class.
It is good, because we can follow the video,
pause, try do it and come back and check it.
Is easier for me as it lets me follow step by
step and do it myself so I learn way easier
and faster than reading a tutorial or
instructions.
In my own opinion Screencast are very useful
and really good for learn because if I
misunderstand something I can just pause
the video and play it again.
I think the only disadvantages is if you have a
question you can't ask the teacher
immediately.
19. Run a Focus Group
http://www.autismsa.org.au/Media/Default/MarComm/focus-group.jpg
20. Analyse all feedback
Themes/Categories
Convenience
Learning Preferences – needs to be broken down
Trustworthy source
Sound Quality
Video Quality
Individual Attention
Cognitive load – low incidence only prompted by the researcher is this irrelevant or just
unlikely to be contemplated by the students.
PMc OK Ive been told this will work so, so hopefully it will, so out of the five of you that
are here how many of you viewed the screencasts?
W1 - I viewed the first one, the second one, a little bit it was during the exams so I didn’t
do the whole thing
PMc sure yeah but you looked at them?
W1 I looked at them
PMc OK, and, did you think they were a good thing or a bad thing? or
W1 Em, I liked them because you can go back to them, em its a good its kind of interesting
21. Findings so far
• The screencasts have changed me more than
the students.
• Assessment results improved BUT that could
be due to other factors – a whole other
research project.
• The students liked the use of screencasts –
mostly positive feedback – audio quality was
an issue at the start.
• Read the theory first, too late afterwards to
“shoehorn” in pedagogical best practice.
22. Where next?
• More screencasts – Created 9 for the original
project, have published another 20 since.
• More “depth”, introducing the why into more
advanced screencasts – 2nd & 3rd year
subjects.
• Screencasts for other lecturers, have created
some workshops to run over the summer.
• Combine with other technologies to identify
“muddiest point” – Next Project??
