Harnessing the Power of Social Media (to communicate with students, employers...Helen Buzdugan
Workshop delivered at Nordic Careers Network Conference on 2 June 2010 focussing on the use of social media and web 2.0 technologies by higher education careers professionals and careers services. Examples of UK higher education careers use of Twitter, Linkedin, blogs, live chat for careers guidance, social bookmarking, online forums etc, and lots of useful links.
The document summarizes key points from a workshop on connecting and leveraging information in exponential times. It discusses how the pace of change and life of knowledge is accelerating. It also introduces the concepts of personal learning environments and "edgility" as ways to rapidly learn and innovate through networks in this new information age. Examples are given of how tools like Drupal and social media can facilitate open learning communities for connecting and exchanging knowledge.
This document reflects on a student's learning and growth with technology over the course of a year in an education program, noting how they started off technologically impaired but with little experience, but developed a professional learning network and digital literacy skills through blogging, using Twitter, and bookmarking online resources. The student expresses thanks to several mentors who supported their learning and references various images and animations used in their work.
This was a course assignment when I was studying at FPT University where we had chances to talk about what we were interested in in front of the class. I was dreaming of a MOOC platform for Vietnamese during that time. I hope that these slides from my coursework will be useful for those who are looking for an overview of MOOCs, or attempt to do business with it. Also on the ending slide, I talked about my personal idea for running a Mooc platform. Sit down and enjoy!
The document discusses the conflicting pressures facing universities and argues they may be caught in a double bind. It outlines pressures to publish research while also connecting through the web, and to adopt new models like MOOCs while maintaining traditional practices. Universities also face pressures to support students but balance budgets. Performance indicators are used to enforce contradictions and shape university identity around measured factors. This systemic double bind may lead universities to exploit the system, become incoherent, find creative solutions, or spur the creation of alternatives. The best question for universities is to redefine their purpose given changes, but the double bind may prohibit that questioning.
The document discusses the shortcomings of traditional eLearning and lectures, noting that attention spans drop off significantly within the first 10-25 minutes of a lecture. It advocates for more interactive and engaging eLearning content that allows learners to explore, interact, and learn through experience in a risk-free environment. The principles of game design, like challenge, feedback, and flow are highlighted as important for keeping learners engaged. The document calls for educators, designers, and communicators to work together to create more engaging online learning experiences.

Connecting beyond content - The Impact of the Digital on Higher EdDave Cormier
The document discusses how digital technologies are impacting higher education. It explores how education narratives have shifted from knowledge scarcity to abundance due to things like online content and networks. It emphasizes that educators need to help learners become "residents" who are productive participants in networked environments rather than just "visitors" who consume content. It outlines how this involves focusing on presence, encouraging independence through community-based learning, and supporting the development of networked identities. The goal is for learning to occur through open-ended connections in online spaces rather than being limited to formal instruction and assessment of objectives.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Web: http://tdm.info Tel: 01299 405719 Email: enquiries@tdm.info “ Vygotskian theory stipulates that the development of the child's higher mental processes depends on the presence of mediating agents in the child's interaction with the environment. Vygotsky himself primarily emphasised symbolic tools-mediators appropriated by the children in the context of particular sociocultural activities, the most important of which he considered to be formal education. Russian students of Vygotsky researched two additional types of mediation – mediation through another human being and mediation in the form of an organised learning activity . Thus the acquisition model became transformed into a mediation model. Some mediational concepts such as scaffolding (see Wood, 1999) or apprenticeship (Rogoff, 1990) appeared as a direct assimilation of Vygotskian ideas; others such as Feuerstein's (1990) mediated learning experience have been developed independently and only later acquired new meaning in the context of sociocultural theory.” ...from Kozulin, A (2003) Vygotsky's Educational Theory in Cultural Context , Cambridge University Press (My highlights added).
