The document discusses how handheld devices can enhance the museum experience for visitors. It suggests that audio guides were one of the first technologies used to make exhibits more engaging and provide interactive content. However, the focus is shifting from simply offering digital assets to creating immersive experiences through new technologies like mobile apps and QR codes that deliver location-based information and games. Museums are moving to leverage mobile devices to improve engagement with exhibits and make the time visitors spend in museums more memorable.

Open Education: Putting Students FirstNicole Allen
This document discusses the high costs of traditional college textbooks and the rise of open educational resources (OER) as an alternative. It notes that textbook prices have risen much faster than overall consumer prices and that many students opt not to purchase textbooks due to high costs. The document introduces OER, which are open-licensed educational materials that can be freely used, shared, and adapted. It provides examples of OER initiatives and research showing their impact. The document argues that widespread adoption of OER could help make higher education more affordable and accessible while aligning practices with values of openness. It calls for building community around OER, realigning incentives to encourage OER creation, and thinking bigger about open education's potential.

Live cameras have been used in education since the early 1990s when they were first connected to the Internet. They allow students to connect with authors and experts through virtual interactions like virtual field trips and keeping up with students who cannot attend class. However, there are also potential problems like privacy if schools can access students' webcams without permission, and reliability depends on the new technology since policies have yet to be written. Costs also vary depending on the school's budget and needs.
Joanna Kollmann's Presentation at Emerging Communication Conference & Awards ...eCommConf
The document discusses the concept of secondary orality in the context of emerging communication paradigms. It notes that while people learned to write, they continued to talk extensively, just in a different way. Modern digital communication tools are evolving from supporting written communication to enabling conversations, taking on characteristics of secondary orality like being instantaneous and facilitating the development of communities. Communication paradigms are shifting from individual messages to conversations and collaboration.
Teaching and Learning with Social Media: The need for a new habitusCristina Costa
The document discusses the impact of social media and technology on teaching, learning, and literacy. It argues that technological environments actively reshape both people and technologies. While students may be proficient users of technology, there is little evidence they understand its deeper applications or can transfer skills across platforms. Developing digital literacy involves nurturing a "digital habitus" or set of values and practices for participating and acting with agency in a technology-centered world. This new digital habitus disrupts historical ways of thinking and doing things with technology.

transformations connect to digital journalismxz7y15
The document discusses the social and technological transformations of digital journalism. Socially, digital journalism has enhanced democratization by allowing greater citizen participation and the rise of citizen journalism. It has changed the commercial distribution of news by threatening traditional models. Technologically, digital journalism has increased the speed and space of news distribution and given rise to mobile journalism through smartphones. Overall, digital journalism is transforming the industry through greater interactivity, new business models, and ubiquitous mobile access to information.
The document discusses how to approach technology planning and use in schools from a scriptural perspective. It argues that technology should be implemented to further the educational mission of the church and promote gospel values, as Jesus would do, rather than for its own sake. The document provides guidance on developing a technology vision, assessing costs, avoiding common pitfalls, and adapting technology in a way that is appropriate to each school's culture and needs.
Educational technology, academic labour, and a pedagogy for class struggleRichard Hall

A presentation given during the fall 2009 meeting of the National Association of District Supervisors of Foreign Languages. My presentation described the ways in which open source learning opportunities can engage our students in authentic, meaningful learning environments.
FemTechNet is a network of international scholars and artists activated by Alexandra Juhasz and Anne Balsamo to design, implement, and teach the first DOCC (Distributed Online Collaborative Course), a feminist rethinking of the MOOC. The course, Feminist Dialogues on Technology, will be offered in fifteen classrooms, at least one in every continent, in the Fall of 2013. This project uses technology to enable interdisciplinary and international conversation while privileging situated diversity and networked agency. Building the course on a shared set of recorded dialogues with the world’s preeminent thinkers and artists who consider technology through a feminist lens, the rest of the course will be built, and customized for the network’s local classrooms and communities, by network members who submit and evaluate Boundary Objects that Learn—the course’s basic pedagogic instruments.
FemTechNet invites interested scholars and artists to join this project and help build this course. In this seminar, Alexandra Juhasz and Anne Balsamo discuss how this innovative project got started, explore the model of distributed online collaborative courses, and lead a discussion of how FemTechNet or similar courses might fit within the liberal arts curriculum.
Speakers
Alexandra Juhasz, Professor of Media Studies, Pitzer College, and Anne Balsamo, Dean of the School of Media Studies, New School for Public Engagement (New York).
This document discusses how technology has advanced and impacted the field of political science. It provides examples of how tools like maps, printing presses, satellites, the internet, and online learning platforms like Blackboard have furthered political science learning and international relations. It also notes some issues with Blackboard and potential solutions to improve the online learning experience.
Technology in education has become ubiquitous and transformed education significantly rather than just being a minor addition. While some were initially skeptical of technology in education, it has become deeply integrated into the learning process. The key question now is how to best leverage technology to improve education.
This document summarizes Tony Hirst's process of developing an online course called "Learning in Public" from an initial "uncourse" format to a more formal "short course." It describes the roles of developers, authors, and students involved in the iterative development process. Analytics were used to analyze student engagement and interactions during development to continually improve and refine the course structure and content.
This document discusses MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and the potential role of libraries and librarians. It introduces MOOCs and the differences between cMOOCs (connected MOOCs focused on knowledge creation) and xMOOCs (extended MOOCs focused on knowledge duplication). It then poses questions about what libraries and librarians can do with MOOCs, what role they may play in a MOOC, and how information literacy could fit into MOOCs. Finally, it considers what opportunities MOOCs may provide to libraries.
Reaching Your Patrons in the Brave New World of the Social WebBobbi Newman
The document discusses how libraries can use social media platforms like blogs, wikis, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, and FriendFeed to connect with and engage patrons. It explains that libraries have traditionally waited for patrons to come to them, but now they can connect with patrons where they are online through these various social media channels. The document provides examples of how different platforms can be used, such as using blogs to start conversations, wikis for subject guides and instructions, and Flickr for photos of new materials and events. It encourages libraries to build a presence on these social media sites to engage patrons in new ways.
This document discusses higher education in virtual worlds. It provides a brief history of universities using virtual worlds, noting that the University of California, Santa Cruz was among the early adopters in the late 1990s. It outlines some advantages such as immersive experiences and low costs, and disadvantages like technical requirements. Statistics are presented on the number of universities with presences in Second Life. Examples are given of different types of educational usages in fields such as nursing, history, and deaf education. Resources on virtual world education are also listed.
This document discusses different types of networks and personal learning networks. It begins by defining what a network is as a set of actors connected by ties. It then lists different types of networks like social networks, electronic networks, and learning networks. It explains that learning networks learn in the same way people do as complex systems connected by relationships. It advocates creating a personal learning network of people to guide your learning. It provides examples of online resources to help build a personal learning network and discusses how personal learning networks may challenge existing education systems.
Wikis are collaborative websites that allow multiple users to edit pages and track changes. They can range in size from small personal sites to large sites like Wikipedia. Wikis allow the incorporation of images and videos. Most wikis require membership to edit pages. They have been used educationally for group projects, disseminating course materials, and sharing educational resources across many subjects and levels.
This document for UNSW Staff provides an introduction to wikis as well as basic instructions on how to get started, including where to request a new wiki, basic set-up and use, and key settings.

This is a preliminary document I’ve prepared as a support reference for an upcoming forum on assessment. Its intended audience is academic staff who are highly unfamiliar with online technology.
This document outlines the process for uploading, processing and sharing presentations and videos via SlideShare and Picasa Web Albums respectively. Sharing of digital materials can be undertaken using a variety of methods and sites ‐ this document depicts just two possible solutions.
’The Hub’ is a space which offers all homeschoolers and unschoolers the opportunity to participate in a range of activities specifically created for the home education community. ’The Hub’ is run by a group of home educating families, partnered with various facilitators to provide learning experiences which enhance and extend what is already provided at home. By providing opportunities to home educating families to participate in activities they might not usually have access to and that they may wish to do in a group setting, we hope to make ’The Hub’ a vibrant resource for the home educating community in the Blue Mountains.
The document discusses designing teams and processes to adapt to changing needs. It recommends structuring teams so members can work within their competencies and across projects fluidly with clear roles and expectations. The design process should support the team and their work, and be flexible enough to change with team, organization, and project needs. An effective team culture builds an environment where members feel free to be themselves, voice opinions, and feel supported.
UX, ethnography and possibilities: for Libraries, Museums and ArchivesNed Potter
1) The document discusses how the University of York Library has used various user experience (UX) techniques like ethnographic observation and interviews to better understand user needs and behaviors.
2) Some changes implemented based on UX findings include installing hot water taps, changing hours, and adding blankets - aimed at improving the small details of user experience.
3) The presentation encourages other libraries, archives and museums to try incorporating UX techniques like behavioral mapping and cognitive interviews to inform design changes that enhance services for users.

- Early net-based art in the 1990s focused on browser-based flash animations, interactive books, and conceptual net art.
- More recent art engages with social media platforms like Tumblr, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
- The definition of net art has expanded and now includes any art that references or engages with the internet, rather than being strictly internet-based. Terms like "post-internet art" and "internet aware art" are now commonly used.
The document outlines a lesson plan that examines the internet's impact on the economy through various activities. It includes a video explaining e-commerce, a PowerPoint lecture on how the internet has affected the economy through e-commerce and sharing economies. It also has a video showing negative uses of the internet and economy. Students then analyze a 1999 news article predicting the internet's impact and write an essay discussing if the predictions were correct and how the growing internet may change the future economy.
What Art Can Teach Brands About Building Engaged Online Communities Ivan Nunez
The document discusses how brands can build engaged online communities by taking lessons from the art world. It argues that art uses techniques like enticing engagement, open collaboration, building collective experiences through vulnerability and common goals, and motivating participation through emotional appeals and risk-taking. The document suggests that for brands to build trust and engagement, they should listen to their community, get involved and gain their trust, and then encourage participation and questions through creative risk-taking.

ICWES15 - A Review of the UNESCO Report: "Engineering: Issues, Challenges and...Engineers Australia
The document summarizes a presentation given at the 15th International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists about the UNESCO report "Engineering: Issues, Challenges and Opportunities for Development".
The report was produced in conjunction with major engineering organizations to identify engineering issues, challenges, and opportunities. It found that engineering plays a key role in innovation, development, and addressing global issues like poverty and climate change. However, more needs to be done to promote engineering and attract young people, especially women, into the field. The participation of women in engineering has declined in some countries since 2000.
The document discusses global outreach opportunities for teachers and their classrooms. It provides several tools and resources for connecting with classrooms in other parts of the world, such as Skype, Twitter, blogs and wikis. Some specific suggestions are made, such as exchanging cultural stories with students in another country and publishing a book together. A variety of free, online tools are presented to help teachers envision projects to connect their curriculum and students with global counterparts.
This one-hour session covers practical methods for instructors and tutors to track student activity on a wiki hosted on Wikispaces. It discusses using page histories and member edit histories to monitor contributions over time. A video tutorial introduces basic Wikispaces navigation and how to use these history features.

'The Hub' is a space which offers all homeschoolers and unschoolers the opportunity to participate in a range of activities specifically created for the home education community. 'The Hub' is run by a group of home educating families, partnered with various facilitators to provide learning experiences which enhance and extend what is already provided at home. By providing opportunities to home educating families to participate in activities they might not usually have access to and that they may wish to do in a group setting, we hope to make 'The Hub' a vibrant resource for the home educating community in the Blue Mountains.
Session Agenda: Open Learning FrameworksMike Bogle
This is a rough agenda for a session I'm facilitating tomorrow at the Technology in Learning & Teaching Unconference being hosted by Macquarie University and the Islands of Jokaydia in Secondlife.
Details of the unconference: http://mquncon09.pbworks.com/
Open education focuses on sharing educational resources openly through tools like open licensing. There are two emerging models - one focuses on open educational resources like courses, software, and frameworks, while the other takes a more holistic view of open education as a culture emphasizing participation, networks, and freedom. Open education challenges existing systems by changing the roles of institutions, teachers, and students, and implications include issues around intellectual property, quality assurance, sustainability, and professional development. Open education advocates sharing knowledge as a public good enabled by technology.
Comparative Matrix Of Learning TechnologiesMike Bogle
This matrix is intended to aid planning or help inspire discussion on the efficacy, affordances and effective implementations of different technologies that enable and enrich learning and teaching
These slides were prepared as a visual aid for a presentation for the UNSW Network of Faculty Educational Developers on 5 August 2009.
The primary foci of the presentation are the technical frameworks and environments used during Connectivism and Connective Knowledge 2008, the distributed nature of the resulting systems, and corresponding learning networks that developed.
The expectation and hope is the presentation will inspire wider discussion on the opportunities and challenges of distributed learning frameworks such as Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) and how they might be incorporated into courses - and importantly, how courses might be changed to enable learning networks to form.

This document provides instructions for creating a slidecast using SlideShare. It discusses supported file formats for presentations, recommended audio recording software like Audacity, and the process for uploading a presentation and audio file to SlideShare to synchronize them into a slidecast. The key steps are to create a presentation, record an audio file narrating the slides, upload both to SlideShare, and use their synchronization tool to match up the audio and slides.
The document summarizes the Rock the Academy symposium hosted by the New Media Consortium (NMC) in 2008. The NMC is a nonprofit consortium dedicated to exploring new media and technologies in education. The symposium explored emerging practices in education, both those that work and those not yet fully realized, through presentations, discussions, and participation both within the virtual world Second Life and through streaming. Topics included new media literacy, online collaboration, open education resources, and tools that support subversive teaching and learning.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
