Today, there are many technologies available to help us do all sorts of things both within and beyond the classroom walls. In fact, there are so many, it can be overwhelming to explore them all, and in the meantime, your time for your students can suffer. This presentation will help you maximize your classroom time by featuring technologies that can help you: "flip" your classroom to engage students in more meaningful face-to-face activities beyond your lecture, extend learning into the online realm for blended and online instruction, and
help keep you organized all along the way!
When you select the right tools for the job, there's no end to the benefit you and your students can get from technologies like LiveBinder, Camtasia, Jing, EdModo, Google Drive, and more. This presentation will introduce you to
an accessible toolkit of tools and practices that will help you enhance learning both in and out of school for your students.
This presentation targets iPad and iPhone apps for students with special needs. The apps address executive functioning skills, organization, great study habits, and much more!
Mathy Vanbuel - EMMA webinar: Capturing and delivering effective video as par...EUmoocs
EMMA webinar series: Capturing and delivering effective video as part of your MOOC including the innovative use of video to enrich your learning offer
MOOCs have always been associated with intensive use of video, early MOOCs were based almost entirely on video recordings of lectures, discussions, talking heads or interviews, and even though the production value may be modest, video still remains one of the highest costs on a MOOC budget. Increasingly the question is raised which kinds of videos lead to the best student learning outcomes in a MOOC? And which production techniques and methods provide a higher learning efficiency. In this webinar, we provide an overview of both production techniques and pedagogical approaches related to the use of video in MOOCs. This webinar aims at encouraging MOOC authors to explore new ways of using video.

Assessment can be difficult, especially when designing new and different types of assignments such as presentations and problem-based projects. This session is designed to help you get a handle on assessment at all levels in order to help you update your courses with more confidence.
Presented at the ELI 2015 conference. In an effort to improve the quantity and quality of online and blended courses taught at Purdue University North Central, a new program was put into place in fall 2014. Based on research in the value of peer mentoring in academic settings, a group of faculty mentors with extensive experience teaching with technology were paired with others who are just getting started. This presentation will describe the program structure, as well as the successes and challenges of the program from the faculty point of view, in order to assist other institutions in exploring similar models for improved faculty development.
Speedy Learning: Best Practices in Accelerated Online Instructional DesignStaci Trekles
For presentation at the 2014 Conference on Distance Teaching and Learning - Madison, WI
Lately, more and more academic programs, particularly at the graduate level, are moving to an accelerated distance education model in an effort to help adult learners achieve necessary skills and credentials more conveniently (Rafferty & Lindell, 2011; Wlodkowski & Ginsberg, 2010). The movement toward accelerated coursework allows learners the freedom to work more quickly toward desired goals, transcending time and place (Pastore, 2010; Seamon, 2004). However, since the goal of any graduate-level program is to develop higher levels of learner expertise that can be put into practice immediately, it is important to ensure that deep learning of skills and knowledge is evoked, even when time is compressed (Biggs, 1987; Biggs & Tang, 2007; Clotfelter, Ladd, & Vigdor, 2007; Rafferty & Lindell, 2011; Wier, Stone & Hunton, 2005). What kinds of features, strategies, and tools must be in place to ensure that students in accelerated programs receive the same opportunities to learn deeply as their counterparts in more “traditional” programs? This case study investigated an accelerated program in education in order to learn from students and from the instructional design strategies employed.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Director of Learning Technology & Clinical Professor
atrekles@pnc.edu
2. THERE IS SO MUCH OUT THERE…
• It’s overwhelming!
• New technologies come
out every
day, promising the next
new “best practice”
• How do we find the time
to learn it all?
3. TRUTH IS…
• You CAN’T learn it all - nor
do you need to!
• Concentrate on what you
need, and what works
• Be willing to change it up or
give up if needed
• Be curious and learn from
your students – they’ll
guide you toward the best
solutions if you let them
4. WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
• Technology can save you TIME!
• Upload created assignments and quizzes
• Automatic grading
• Easy viewing of student progress
• More engaging atmosphere for students

Ask questions, share ideas, and share
your favorite links here:
http://tinyurl.com/valpoPLC
6. Technology to the Rescue!
FLIP YOUR CLASSROOM TO MAXIMIZE
CLASSROOM TIME
7. WHAT THE HECK IS “FLIPPING” ANYHOW?
• When students receive key instruction at home, and work on
tasks and application at school, you are “flipping” your
classroom
• Instruction can happen in many forms:
videos, podcasts, websites, DVDs
• In this way, students can work together on more meaningful
projects and activities more in the classroom, while under your
guidance
• You can gain back valuable class time and learning
opportunities through this method!
9. NAVIGATING THE PITFALLS
• Ensure that students can reach
you outside of the face-to-face
classroom through email or a
learning management system
• Help students form afterschool
study groups for better
accountability and collaborative
learning
• Hold students responsible for
their outside learning by
grading participation and
access
10. WHAT ABOUT KIDS WHO DON’T HAVE ACCESS AT
HOME?
• Provide downloads of videos or other learning materials on a
thumb drive or CD/DVD
• Provide transcripts and/or lecture notes (this is good for ADA
accessibility anyhow)
• Give students a place to study after school on school
grounds, such as in your classroom with a dedicated
machine, or in the computer lab
• Use tools that allow for media to be accessed and/or
downloaded onto mobile devices that students may very well
have available to them, like smartphones and iPads
11. SUMMARY: BASICS OF FLIPPING
1. Students need to understand the flip and the expectations
2. Provide textbooks for a reference
3. Create a web presence to post your videos to (e.g. Edmodo)
4. Locate a place to post your videos (e.g. Vimeo, Screencast.com)
5. Locate a screen casting tool to record your videos
6. Storyboard your lesson and practice, practice, practice!
7. Create videos which are 3-5 minutes (lengthy videos lose attention)
8. Create online assignments and assessments to accompany video
9. Provide meaningful classroom activities so that students are engaged
during class time rather than doing homework without learning
