This document discusses knowledge management in Moodle. It outlines how Moodle can be used to organize, share, and create knowledge through features like courses, forums, wikis, blogs and data mining of log files. While findings showed VLEs are used to share resources and for teacher-pupil dialogue, there is room for more integration with assessment data and lesson planning. For knowledge management to be fully realized, a VLE needs to be embedded within an organization's culture and practices, not just introduced on its own. Moodle in particular supports knowledge mapping, sharing and creation through its built-in tools and interoperability.

That bug that’s going around might be bugging your bottom line if you are a small business owner, according to a new survey from Pepperdine University, conducted in partnership with Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. Smaller companies — those with revenues of less than $5 million — reported each sick employee cost them an average of $22,802. For larger companies, the average cost was $15,806.

Cloud computing. Mobile computing and Bring your own device (BYOD). Global collaboration and communication. Big data. Governance, risk management and compliance. Rapidly escalating regulatory requirements. The world is changing faster than we can keep pace. Attackers evolve methods more rapidly than we can develop defenses, amplifying the asymmetric threat. These are, indeed, interesting times. The question is not how to win, but how to survive in the ever-changing risk landscape.
This presentation was developed for the Online In Service Breakout session in Winter quarter, 2013. Searching for academic sources on Google can be a struggle. Many students aren’t even aware that their searching is flawed. Learn about issues that arise when Google (or an-other web search engine) is the only research tool for students. We’ll take a look at how filter bubbles and content farms can affect your search. We’ll also take a look at some of the positive features and strengths of Google. Final-ly, you’ll learn ways to steer your students toward the library and reliable sources. By making the library easier to use, stu-dents will be less likely to go straight to Google.

An overview of the tool developed by the Consortium for Chicago School Research that we will be using to help provide Detroit school leaders with the tools and information they need to improve education for our kids, and to give a voice to our great and hardworking teachers and students.
This is the microslot presentation I gave at Oxford Geek Night 6 on 22nd April 2008. I wanted to give a brief overview of what is happening in eLearning, the possible things it could lead to, and what other developers can be doing to help prevent this becoming a ‘purchasable product’ in schools.
Sharing Data to Create Systemic Change
Eleanor Jones, Education Program Specialist, New Mexico Navajo Central Agency; Mark Kessler, Professional Development Specialist, NWEA
Fusion 2012, the NWEA summer conference in Portland, Oregon
In an effort to use collaborative inquiry to identify obstacles that are impeding the success of our children, our agency-wide professional learning community created a protocol for analyzing and sharing data. Our efforts have resulted in deep conversations about what we collectively think is impacting Dine’ student growth and the development of data-informed action plans. The systematic changes occurring are beginning to show positive impact on instructional practices and school procedures.
Learning outcome:
- Identify a process for analyzing and sharing data and relate this process to their own system
- Identify a structure and benefits for holding “deep data conversations” and relate these benefits to their own system
- Identify essential components of an action plan that is data-informed and reflect on creating a plan for their own school system
Audience:
- New data user
- Experienced data user
- Advanced data user
- District leadership
New Mexico Navajo Central Agency is an isolated district on the Diné (Navajo) Nation. Our agency serves 1500 K-8 students among 10 schools spread over 150 miles. I provide professional counsel in planning, implementation and management of Special Education programs, School Improvement programs, and Supplemental programs by our schools.
Personalisation starts with the learner. Teachers can easily support students to select appropriate eLearning tools to strengthen and demonstrate their learning within a VELS/AusVELS framework? Why would/should we personalise learning? What are the benefits for Teaching and Learning?
CORE Education Breakfast Seminar in Wellington, March 11, 2011.
Smart portfolio assessment is noted as one of UNESCO's 10 Global Trends in ICT and Education. So what is an eportfolio and what purpose do they serve? What do they look like in action? Do I need a proprietary system? Should they include all aspects of a student's life? What about eportfolios and National Standards?
This CORE breakfast session will :
- Introduce the use of eportfolios for students to capture learning and ongoing reflection and feedback
- Examine professional eportfolios for teachers as they inquire into the impact of their teaching
- Discuss the potential benefits of eportfolios
- Outline the process of what eportfolios look like when supporting learning
- Look at different tools for eportfolios and how you might go about choosing the best for your school
- Ask some big picture questions to facilitate discussion regarding the implementation of eportfolios
This session will be particularly useful for school leaders and classroom practitioners, those with responsibility for developing and supporting the implementation of eportfolios within schools, advisers working with schools on authentic assessment practices and professional development and learning facilitators looking at implementing professional eportfolios for teaching staff.

Innovation and the future: Y3 ssp 12 13 l15Miles Berry
The technologies whose study properly forms a part of ICT education develop at an exponential rate, with Moore’s law promising a doubling of computing capacity every couple of years, and global industries and innovative individuals continually finding new applications to use such capacity. The extent to which your school makes use of such innovation is, to some degree, in your hands.
After hearing your presentations, we’ll look at some of the issues raised by the rapid pace of technological change and explore some ways in which schools can best make discerning use of new technology. I also explore some current trends and we look at some technologies that may well find a place in the classroom of the not too distant future, or whatever may replace it.
We conclude with a review of the assessment requirements and an opportunity to reflect on the module.
Professional Development Y3 ssp 12 13 l14Miles Berry
Many teachers might seem reluctant to make extensive use of ICT in their teaching or to teach the ICT curriculum as effectively as they might. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological change ensures that you and your colleagues face the continual challenge of staying up to date with technology and its use in schools. Web based communities and networks provide many opportunities for professional development and peer support.
We consider the importance of ongoing CPD and explore a number of approaches to this. Within a community of practice model, you reflect on the process of your professional formation as a teacher, comparing and contrasting this with your subsequent professional development.
I discuss a number of online resources, networks and communities of relevance to primary ICT or e-learning coordinators and you explore a number of these. We look at how you might facilitate your future colleagues professional development, through face-to-face gatherings and online communities.
Mobile app development 12 13 y1 ict ssp l17 revMiles Berry
We look at some examples of mobile phone use within the curriculum. We consider issues raised by pupils’ access to personal technology. You experiment with Google’s App Inventor toolkit, creating a simple game for an Android handset.
Resources and Support - Y3 ssp 12 13 l13Miles Berry
Whilst school budgets are not likely to fall within your remit in the early stages of your career, specifying and choosing resources may well fall onto your shoulders. At a time when all public sector funding is squeezed, ensuring best value in ICT procurement is essential, as is making the best possible use of the resources currently available. Some sort of technical support for ICT in schools is now common, and the management of this may well form part of your role.
You reflect on the range and quality of technology available in the schools visited during your placements, making comparisons with national statistics. We consider a range of approaches to ICT hardware provision and consider some more economical approaches to ICT resourcing.
We discuss criteria for selecting ICT resources and for obtaining best value.
We look at approaches to supporting ICT in schools, and consider the role of the school network manager.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

• Little consensus about KM;
those that saw teacher’s knowledge as more tacit...
• Didn’t give SMT access to teachers’ data
• Didn’t use VLE to inform support decisions
• Didn’t integrate VLE and MIS
• Few schools had KM policies,
but those that did...
• Analyzed data regularly and
• Looked for trends and exceptions
29. Findings 2
VLE use includes
• bringing together online resources, and
• use for teacher - pupil dialogue,
but not
• lesson planning, or
• assessment data
although these seemed best to promote
organizational learning and KM
30. Findings 3
• VLEs are used for sharing data, information

• 2/3 provide access to data for other teachers
and SMT, particularly where respondents had
participated in VLE development
• Those who share data inside the school also
work collaboratively beyond the school
31. Findings 4
• Once a school becomes used to internal VLE
mediated collaboration, they become willing to
extend this practice beyond the school
• Collaboration amongst sta is a crucial
dimension of organizational culture if the
VLE is to be used to manage shared
knowledge
32. Findings 5
• Not many analyze VLE data or look for trends

• Relatively little integration with MIS
• Limited contribution to decision making

• VLEs do have an effect on teaching
• VLEs support KM and Organizational
Learning
• There’s less impact on pupils’ construction of
