Assistive Technology and Associated TrainingE.A. Draffan
This is a workshop presentation at the NADP 2013 Conference. The graphs and information come from a survey of students in receipt of the Disabled Students Allowances 2012 - 841 students answered the survey call and we are extremely grateful for their help.
Max Morton introduces innovative approaches to teaching and learning using technology at City of Westminster College. These include using mobile phones in the classroom for activities like reading lists, sharing resources and multimedia activities. Other technologies promoted are blogging, media tools for audio and video, surveys, social media, and Socrative, a student response system. The goal is to enhance learning through managerial support, imaginative teachers, and continuous professional development in a blended learning environment.
Engaging Digital Natives - Their devices, their world, their content. Our ICT...Schoolbox
This document discusses how to engage digital native students. It notes that over 90% of students use the internet for education and communicate socially through imagery and creative self-expression. To effectively teach this generation, it recommends providing bite-sized content on a variety of accessible devices, encouraging constant connection and transparency. Teachers should share information in real-time, use students' own devices and software, enable peer review and discussion, and engage students both inside and outside the classroom with the tools and materials that appeal to them.
Student perspectives on assistive technologyE.A. Draffan
These slides are from a talk given at the Iansyst 2012 DSA Assessors conference. There are several slides that were asking questions rather than providing answers - the main points were about the shifting sands occurring in IT and AT within Further and Higher Education
Using social media like FriendFeed, students at the University of Leicester were able to develop personal learning networks for peer support, arrange both social and academic meetings, and provide data for measuring the student experience. Students produced thousands of posts, comments, and likes on the platform, using it for everything from sharing links and updates to deeply personal reflections. While traditional e-portfolios were disliked, the social media platform engaged students through status updates and rewards, providing sufficient scaffolding to encourage reflection on learning in a more popular way.
Posterous versus homework noel jenkinsNoel Jenkins
This document compares Posterous and traditional homework and their benefits for developing a social learning network. Posterous allows for easy assignment of homework using online content and tools like attaching documents and media. It also enables teachers to track student work through RSS feeds and comment on assignments. This encourages students to improve their work and engage in peer assessment. However, there are also cons like ensuring student access to technology, controlling what students publish, and addressing plagiarism and e-safety issues.
Technology Integration: Assistive Technology and Social MediaKathy Santersero
The document outlines an agenda for a teacher professional development session that focuses on increasing knowledge of assistive technology, using social media to connect with others, and engaging students through the use of clickers. It provides information on different types of assistive technologies and resources for teachers, as well as sample questions from a teacher trivia challenge activity involving clickers. The session aims to have teachers investigate an assistive technology, communicate online, and participate in a trivia game using clickers.

This document discusses leveraging systems for change using Donella Meadows' 12 leverage points for systems. It summarizes how two of these leverage points, delays and reinforcing feedback loops, apply to the ITSI-SU project. Delays that are too short or long can undermine the system. The project experiences delays at the classroom and regional levels. Reinforcing feedback loops in the teacher online community can increase participation and implementation quality over time. Information flows, like about technical issues, are also important to address. Changing fundamental paradigms may be difficult to achieve but could enable deep change.
The document discusses the University of Northampton's development of a mobile learning app called Mobile Learn. It launched in September 2011 and saw over 1000 downloads in the first week and over 3000 downloads after one month. Student and staff feedback has been positive, with 85% of students rating it as useful or very useful. The document provides tips for other universities looking to develop mobile learning opportunities and next steps for the University of Northampton's project.
This document discusses using mobile applications for assessment ePortfolios. It summarizes trials using various apps like Evernote, Facebook, Google+, and allowing student choice. Key findings include that Evernote was good for organizing content but lacked collaboration. Facebook was easy for feedback but hard to use. Allowing student choice led to discovering better ways to record learning. Most students found mobile apps easier than desktop. It concludes apps should be learned thoroughly before using, expect surprises, get outside feedback, and consider letting students choose platforms.
This document provides an overview of technology planning and instructional planning. It discusses how the world has changed and become more digital, unpredictable, and unforgiving to the unskilled. It emphasizes shifting from single source to crowd sourcing information and from testing to assessing proficiency. The document outlines basic principles of planning that engage and empower learners. It argues that the challenges of transitioning to a new instructional model are worth addressing inequities in the current system. Moving beyond just purchasing devices, the focus should be on using technology as an instructional tool to develop critical lifelong skills.
The document discusses the evolution of education from School 1.0 to School 2.0 and how technology and pedagogical approaches have changed. It covers how Bloom's Taxonomy is traditionally taught versus how digital natives approach it. It also provides information on wikis, file storage, web publishing, and uses for cell phones in education. Examples of polling applications for cell phones are given to engage students.
The document discusses the characteristics of the "Net Generation" of students born between 1982-1991 who grew up with computers and digital technology. It outlines that these students are often described as being constantly connected, multitasking, social learners who prefer visual, experiential learning involving collaboration in groups. The document cautions against making assumptions, and suggests that teaching and learning styles may need to adapt to these students' preferences for social, active, contextual and engaging styles of deeper learning.
1) The document discusses transformative uses of iPads that the presenter has observed at their school, including using iPads for textbook consumption, note-taking, calculations, and report-writing.
2) The presenter outlines strengths and weaknesses of using iPads versus laptops and discusses strategies for workflow between devices like using iCloud Drive and AirDrop.
3) Several use cases are provided, such as substitutions where iPads replace other tools, and transformations where iPads enable new possibilities like blogging, photo/video, and textbook authoring.
This document discusses online evaluation for online courses. It raises three primary questions for evaluating online courses: 1) Is it going to work? 2) Is it working? 3) Did it work? It also discusses components of quality instruction, methods for spot-checking courses, key assessment criteria, and provides a scenario-based discussion on evaluating online courses.
The document discusses interactive audience response systems (ARS), also known as clickers, and how they can be used in information literacy (IL) instruction. ARS allow for live or asynchronous input from students during a session and can be used individually, anonymously, or collaboratively. They can check understanding, engage students, and be used for activities like games or mini-assessments before, during, or after a session. When using ARS, instructors should consider the course content, student needs, and timing of questions within the session.

This document discusses trends in e-learning. It identifies 6 key trends: 1) steady growth of e-learning including blended learning becoming the default, 2) ubiquitous and seamless learning opportunities, 3) personalization of learning, 4) technologies enhancing learning through video, interactive tools, and collaborative learning, 5) use of big data and learning analytics to improve education, and 6) massive open online courses (MOOCs). The document provides examples and considerations for each trend, and concludes with tips to focus on existing strengths, understand the educational benefits of technologies, and learn through experimentation and reflection.
This document discusses using social media and online tools to enhance student learning and engagement. It proposes using online assessment via Blackboard for all topics. It also suggests using video feedback from instructors rather than just written feedback. Peer networks using Friendfeed are recommended to allow for reflection, feedback and discussion between students. Data on a trial of Friendfeed showed high student engagement and word counts in discussions. The document concludes that online tools can increase student engagement and learning outcomes without decreasing quality.

How to improve your teaching using emerging technologyMike Pascoe
This document provides tips for improving teaching using emerging technology. It discusses using lecture capture, polling students, social media, enhancing slides, understanding millennial students, collaborative assignments, and evaluations. Lecture capture allows students flexibility but most prefer attending live. Polling engages students and assessing understanding. Social media facilitates communication. Enhanced slides should stimulate discussion with video, icons, and quality graphics. Technology should meet educational needs rather than being used just because it is new. Small changes can significantly improve learning when implemented strategically.
A Study of Ubiquitous Technologies in Higher Education in Hong HongMarc LeBane
This document summarizes a research project studying the use of ubiquitous technologies like smartphones in higher education in Hong Kong. 18 iPhone 4 devices were provided to students in an Advanced Public Speaking class to determine their impact. Surveys found students frequently used apps for social media, communication, and entertainment. Most felt the phones improved English skills and studies, though some were distracted. Future research will explore larger devices like iPads to enhance e-learning and collaboration.
The document summarizes a 2011 leadership conference presentation on emerging technologies and their role in learning. It discusses trends like increased access to resources online, expectations for collaborative and mobile work, and cloud-based technologies. Data is presented on technology ownership and use of tools in courses. Examples of mobile learning initiatives are provided, such as apps for medical education. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the need to evaluate new technologies based on their ability to support learning goals and by surveying students and faculty about technology needs and preferences.
This document discusses promising practices for engaging PK-20 learners, who are primarily digital natives and second generation digital natives. It recommends interactive learning environments that incorporate collaboration, project-based learning, partnering, authentic assessment, audience, and digital mediums. Specific strategies are proposed, such as flipped classrooms, personal learning networks, and the use of Web 2.0 tools. The document concludes by outlining seven strategies from Tapscott for how educators can better engage digital learners, including focusing on lifelong learning over teaching to tests.
This document discusses technology integration in adult English as a second language (ESL) instruction. It covers the background and goals of technology usage, ideas for integrating technology into ESL lessons, and professional development for teachers. Some benefits identified are promoting life skills, self-directed learning, and differentiated instruction. Challenges include lack of preparation time, varying student abilities, and limited resources. The document advocates for expanding technology use and online professional learning communities to improve adult ESL instruction.

This document discusses assistive technology for students with high incidence disabilities, particularly in math. It outlines some common difficulties students may experience in math calculations, word problems, and understanding math language/symbols. Low-tech and high-tech assistive tools are presented for remediating math disabilities, including number stamps, calculators, digitized textbooks, and software like IntelliTools and Kidspiration. The document also discusses metacognition, executive functions, memory, organization, notetaking, study skills, and technology for students on the autism spectrum.
This document discusses academic literacy and how to engage the digital generation in academic literacy. It provides definitions of academic literacy and explains why it is important. It then discusses the characteristics of the digital generation and how they differ from previous generations in how they learn, communicate, and search for information using technologies like Google. Some research studies are summarized that explore how the digital generation searches for information online and what challenges those with low literacy may face. The document advocates for rethinking how universities teach to better engage the digital generation.
THE WEB-BASED EDUCATION JOURNEY: A CONSTANT LIFELINEcscpconf
E-learning has revolutionized our realm in more than just a listable number of ways. But it took
a paradigm shift when it entered the threshold of the varsity system. With the prevailing spoonfeeding
era, are the students really ¬industry ready? We answer that by confirming a fact: webbased
learning has become the oxygen of freshers in the IT Industry instead of the traditional
learning done through graduation. Furthermore, are university enforced e-learning assessment
systems a true representation of a student's proficiency? This paper is a peep into what webbased
e-learning systems are to a student of today's world, by giving an overview of universitylevel
e-learning in India deploying an example from SRM University's organizational
framework. It assesses a key e-learning trend, the implementation of which bridges the gap
between universities and the industry. It is proposed to provide constructive feedback to the elearning
community and shine some light on areas of scope for future developments.
Using Mobile Technology to Differentiate Instruction Karen F
The document discusses using mobile technology to differentiate instruction for students with different backgrounds, abilities, and learning styles. It notes that traditional textbooks often do not engage or meet the needs of diverse students. Mobile devices can help teachers facilitate individualized tutorials, practice activities, mini-lessons and projects. The document provides examples of how teachers can use tools on mobile devices like ebooks, audio, video, and apps to customize instruction for each student. It emphasizes finding existing resources and having students help create materials to make implementation feasible within time constraints.

A learning upgrade - gender and ICT in education
Presented at the Learning and Teaching with Technology Conference (September 2012) by Gerry White, ACER.
E:\Presentations From Speakers\Jane Secker Google Readerand RssLeo Appleton
The document discusses developing students' information management skills to match the 21st century internet environment. It notes that while students are comfortable with technology ownership and social media, they struggle with skills like critical thinking, referencing, and information management. The LSE aims to help students through training embedded in courses on topics such as RSS feeds, bookmarking resources, and using tools like Google Reader and Delicious. The training materials are intended to help students better manage the large amount of online information available.
The document summarizes the findings of a 2011-2012 survey conducted in 31 European countries on students' use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in primary and secondary education. It finds that on average, students report using ICT during lessons several times a month rather than weekly. Some ICT tools like learning games are never used for most students. Students' ICT use frequency is only slightly related to their learning styles. The survey identified three profiles of students - high ICT use both at school and home, high home use but low school use, and low use overall. Profiles with high school use correlated with higher student confidence in digital skills. All reports and data from the survey are publicly available online.
Top 10 Trends in Student Learning with TechnologyJulie Evans
The document summarizes the key topics and presenters of a webinar on the top 10 trends in student learning with technology based on the annual Speak Up survey. The webinar highlights findings such as students wanting interactive online textbooks, being mobile learners who adapt emerging technologies, having interest in online learning, and continuing to face obstacles using technology in school. School and district leaders are encouraged to be aware of these trends to better support 21st century student learning.
Skills Development Through Authentic AssessmentAlan Cann
"Authentic assessment" is relevant to real world outcomes and engaging for students. Much of the treadmill activity of conventional assessment (essays and exams) has little to do with what goes on in the workplace. Faced with the task of developing a "research skills" module for 300 biological sciences students, I attempted to apply the principles of authentic assessment. The practical problems in achieving this with a large number of students involve the staffing demands of this approach, and there are problems with applying performance-based outcomes to large groups of students. Team-based learning enhances student engagement and represents a shift from a teacher-based strategy to a student-centred approach.
Learning and Teaching Maths in BiosciencesAlan Cann
Presentation at the Leicester Biological Sciences Pedagogical Research Group on Tuesday 17th September 2013, by Jenny Koenig (Cambridge) on Learning and Teaching Maths in the Biosciences. http://lebioscience.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/learning-and-teaching-maths-in.html
The first half of this presentation is about academic use of social media and the second half is about recent findings from my current HEA-funded audio feedback project: http://lebioscience.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/audio-feedback-evidence-is-mounting.html
Sorry, now audio for these yet, but the first half is rather similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgU5Gx5bh3o and I'll try to put up a commentary for the feedback section soon.
The document discusses using social media in microbiology education. It notes that social media refers to user-generated internet content and conversations rather than just tools. While traditional education tools have value, students want guidance navigating various media and see education as adding value. The document advocates that educators understand how new media works, manage expectations that education is active not passive, and provide clear goals to engage lifelong learners through peer networks for professional development.
Social media for researchers - maximizing your personal impactAlan Cann
This document provides an overview of how researchers can use social media to maximize their personal impact. It discusses how continual publishing across blogs, journals, and social media can increase one's "academic footprint" and impact. The document also outlines potential benefits of social media for different stages of the academic research cycle, from collaboration and gathering feedback to disseminating findings. However, it also notes some potential criticisms and challenges of using social media.
Social media for researchers - maximizing your personal impactAlan Cann
This document provides an overview of how researchers can use social media to maximize their personal impact. It discusses how social media can enhance the academic research cycle by enabling more effective collaboration, opportunities to forge new connections, receiving feedback, and more rapidly disseminating work. While social media presents some criticisms like privacy issues and a loss of authority, the document encourages researchers to participate and build good networks as a way to make an impact beyond traditional citations.
Introduction to a workshop on:
Social Media For Researchers
Maximizing your personal impact
Alan Cann
School of Biological Sciences
University of Leicester
Alan responds to a question about archiving Google+ posts and comments. He says that as far as he knows, Google+ posts are available indefinitely. There are currently no tools like Storify for extracting and organizing Google+ threads. He suggests selecting a thread, saving it as a PDF, and embedding it on Slideshare.net as a way to archive the content.
The document discusses Google+ and its current features and limitations. It notes that Google+ allows chatting and video calls with up to 10 people, and sharing photos and videos, but that audio sharing and mobile access are still lacking. Circles allow separating contacts into different groups but don't prevent public posting. Additional features like search, groups, tagging and APIs are still works in progress. The document also discusses using Google+ to search for information on Spinal Muscular Atrophy and analyzing student engagement via social networks.
Friendfolios - Harnessing social scaffolding for reflectionAlan Cann
The document discusses using social media platforms like Friendfeed to scaffold student reflection in ePortfolios. An analysis of 134 students using Friendfeed for 10 weeks found they generated over 5,000 entries, 8,000 comments, and 5,000 likes, totaling nearly 200,000 words of reflection. Approximately 15% of students continued using Friendfeed after the assessment period, showing it increased student engagement with reflective practice more than traditional ePortfolios alone. The document suggests repeating ePortfolio modules with social media platforms like blogs and Friendfeed to further scaffold student reflection.
Students in the sandbox - developing professionals?Alan Cann
The document discusses several pedagogical approaches to online education. It outlines Martin Weller's view that complexity arises from how people collaborate online. It also discusses Vygotsky's zone of proximal development and how online learning allows interaction with more capable peers. Finally, it proposes that connectivism sees learning as connecting information sources and that maintaining connections is important for learning.

The document discusses personal learning environments (PLEs) and how they can enhance students' ownership of their own knowledge and learning. It suggests facilitating PLEs through systems that help students set their own learning goals, manage their learning process, and communicate with others. The document also discusses ePortfolios and how they can be used to showcase students' evidence of learning, depth and breadth of knowledge, and reflections on their academic and professional development through short and long-term goals. It notes challenges in assessing student reflection and maintaining ePortfolios after a course ends.
Hepatitis E virus is a positive-sense RNA virus that causes acute hepatitis in humans. It has a spherical virion structure that is about 32-34 nanometers in diameter and contains three open reading frames that encode the viral proteins. The virus particle consists of an icosahedral capsid enclosing the viral genome RNA.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
