This document discusses e-content development in social science. It defines e-content as digital information delivered over networks that can be interpreted by humans during communication to share knowledge and influence each other. The document outlines the nature of e-content, noting it should be didactic to bridge the gap between teacher and student. It also describes the design and development process for e-content using instructional design models like ADDIE. Social science e-content could include case studies to build and test theories. E-learning through e-content allows for anytime, anywhere learning and group collaboration using learning objects.
E-learning is part of the biggest change in training since the invention of the chalkboard or perhaps the alphabet.
The development of computers and electronic communications has removed barriers of space and time. We can obtain and deliver knowledge anytime anywhere.
Online classes are consistently imparting and improving knowledge of learners separated by geographical distances.
A fifth standard teacher used digital tools to make an age-old topic interactive, collaborative and engaging for students. What we are seeing is a shift from the traditional learning environment to a new learning environment where technology plays a vital role in enabling students to explore, experiment and create
collectively.

eLearning implementations in higher education have for the most part been poor. This situation explained in terms of the failure of higher education to change teaching and learning practices. In this presentation Iain Doherty will examine this situation in the context of looking at The University of Hong Kongâs eLearning strategy. The University of Hong Kongâs eLearning strategy will be explained along with the role of the eLearning Pedagogical Support Unit in implementing the strategy. Iain will also look at an alternative learning theory â Connectivism â and ask whether Connectivist teaching and learning would facilitate eLearning whilst also better preparing graduates to take their place as knowledge workers in companies.

Constructivist, Instructivist and Socio-Constructivist views of teaching tech...Olufemi Jeremiah Olubodun
Â
This is a comparison of Instructivist and constructivist pedagogical approaches and their applications in different situations, which make clear the comparative advantages of both approaches. Instructivist learning, places the teacher in authority while the constructivist shifted authority to no one in particular but shared responsibilities between learner and teacher in such a manner that the teacher no longer assumes the responsibilities of the passage of information/knowledge to the learner but only guides him to discover the âobjective truthâ out there and in the attainment of learning objectives. Teaching and Learning process was redefined in the light of ânewâ understanding in teaching and learning and practical applications of these pedagogical approaches were considered. I presented a study guide (Appendix 1) as an example of socio-constructivist pedagogy where emphasis in on learning rather than on teaching.
My portfolio represents my work that shows my development and achievements in Educational Technology. It also includes the summary of what Iâve learned in Educational Technology that can definitely help the students as well as the future educators.

Adaptive Remediation Solutions Design Framework and Implementation for Studen...iosrjce
Â
E-learning has established a critical presence in the 21st century learning environment. With the rise
of convergence technologies, different models of e-learning have emerged obliterating the barriers of time and
space and delivering deep learning. Teaching-learning interplay has been further enhanced because of novel
interactive process centric interventions and e-tutoring is emerging as an effective teaching learning solution.
Specifically, the paper addresses the current e-learning challenges by designing and implementing Adaptive
Remediation Solutions Framework to e-tutoring. The e-tutoring Adaptive Remediation Solutions Framework
deals with improvement of the overall learning experience by identifying the gap and adopting Learning to
learn driven remedial interventions with the specific cognitive requirements of the learner traditionally not
catered to in a standard (conventional) e-learning environment. The paper ascertains the improvement in the
student success rate by early identification of learners at-risk followed by timely, continuous and multi-tiered
teaching-learning interventions. Convergence Technology (CT) enabled Educational Technology (ET) has been
leveraged to offer innovative pedagogies by matching learning model in Adaptive Remediation Solutions
Framework with learners abilities & differentiated assessment. This has been evaluated through data obtained
from an e-learning course offered by a leading e-learning institute. The results clearly demonstrate that the
Adaptive Remediation Solutions Framework assists in creating an effective learning environment resulting in
improved student success rate.

The End of âSit & Gitâ PD: Powerful, Professional Learning Communities Fueled...Public Consulting Group
Â
In the landscape of the 21st Century, education is global in its reach and personal in its impact. In order to meet the needs of students, teachers and the lifelong learners of our current generation, educational systems will need to effectively use technology to allow the learners to access content that is relevant and useful for the questions they are trying to investigate. However, the use of technology is also going to have to provide for structured opportunities for individuals to create and grow communities of learning to add depth and texture to the application of what they learn to impact the world in which they learn, live, and work.
The Pepper Online Professional Learning Network was developed as a system to provide high-quality, personalized, professional learning opportunities to a growing community of learners. An important and critical component of Pepper and its ability to support personalized learning is the capacity in the system for the creation of professional learning communities.
Educators in Pepper have the opportunity to create a personal network of instructional coaches and peers from their school, District, or across the country. Educators use these community networks to share progress as they interact with content collections, discuss course work in portfolios and discussion boards, and share chunks of content from a particular course in small groups.
It is within these communities that the individual participants have the chance to engage in a structured discussion around the challenges and successes in their education programs. The communities can be virtual or face-to-face, but in all cases, the ability to make the learning visible and communicate their results to others who are engaged in the same program, strengthens the collective learning for all.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
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.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. INTRODUCTION
Educational systems around the world are under increasing pressure to use the
new information and communication technologies to teach students the knowledge and
skills. Even today one of the greatest challenges of integrating ICT in education is lack
of quality C-content. In the process of e-learning, structured and validated e-content can
serve as an effective virtual teacher. For the upcoming generation we need to create a
digital learning culture and environment. Mastering ICT skills and utilizing ICT towards
creating an improved teaching and learning environment is of at most importance to
teachers in creating new learning culture.
E-CONTENT
Normally in the growth of technology applications in education, we are moving
towards a virtual reality where the distance between the teacher and the taught is nil.
The possibility of such virtual reality can be made by generating good e-contents and
accessible by all. E-content are basically a package that satisfies the conditions like.
that is minimization of the distance, cost effectiveness, user-friendliness and adaptability
to local conditions.
E-content is digital information delivered over network-based electronic devices,
that is symbols that can be utilized and interpreted by human actors during
communication process, which allow them to share vision and influence each others
knowledge, attitudes or behaviour.
It may also be defined as âdigital text and images designed for display on web
pagesâ. E-content means content in the electronic form. It is a combination of text,
audio, video, images, animation with visual effects. Any digitized content that can
facilitate the learning process and learning outcome can be termed as e-content. E-
content the acquisition of these contents takes place via four different channels.
Purchase of materials, use of freely available content on the internet, self production of
5. material, exchange of existing material in a network with other institutions of higher
education.
NATURE OF E-CONTENT
E-contents should essentially be didactic in nature. The term âdidacticâ refers to
contents such as self-instructional material, audio and video that convey some moral fact
or learning. In virtual education, the self instructional materials are essentially didactic in
nature. The philosophy behind this is that self-instructional materials try to bridge the
gap between the teacher and the taught. The philosophy stands good for the e-content
generation too. According to selinger (2004) âe-content should be seen as a tool to
improve the understanding, engagement and motivation of learners, to provide a safe
environment for them to experiment and explore their conjectures; and to test their
understanding using novel assessment methodologies based on trial and improvement;
simulations and manipulation of modelsâ. The didactic nature of e-contents seems to
fulfill this condition as the learner while reading the didactic nature of e-contents seems
to fulfill this condition as the leaner while reading the didactic content builds an
understanding and then assess the understanding using buzzles. E-content can also be
utilized as reusable learning objects viley gave a working definition of learning object as
âany digital resources that can be reused to support learningâ
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF E-CONTENT
Unfortunately, existing materials and documents cannot be automatically
transformed into e-content materials by just making them available from a website. A
systematic and scientific approach is needed to develop quality content. Instructional
Design is the teaching device that makes instruction as well as instructional material
more engaging, effective and efficient. It is the branch of knowledge concerned with
research and theory about instructional strategies and the process for developing and
implementing those strategies. Instructional Design is the process of systematic
development of instructional specifications using learning and instructional specification
theories support the instructional design as backbone. Cognitism envisages the
organization of the content, storing and retrieving of the content constructivism supports
6. the learner centered holistic approach in e-learning Behaviorism stresses the
reinforcement, retention and transfer of knowledge in the e-content development.
There are several approaches to explain the design and development processes
of content development Association for Educational and communication Technology
(AECT) which is a professional organization in the educational technology field in the
United States has proclaimed the five stages of instructional design that can be used to
develop any learning situations and learning content, that is the ADDIE model to include
Analysis. Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. The ADDIE Model is a
basic model for designing and developing learning courses as well as educational
content.
Figure 1 shows the interactive relationships among the stages
Dick, Carey and Carey (2005) also suggest a systematic model for designing instruction
and learning content, the so-called Dick and Cavey systems approach model for
designing instruction.
SOCIAL SCIENCE IN E-CONTENT
The use of case studies to build and test theories in political science and the
other social sciences has increased in recent years. Many scholars have argued that the
social sciences rely too heavily on quantitative research and formal models and have
attempted to develop and refine rigorous methods for using case studies. This text
presents a comprehensive analysis of research methods using case studies and
examines the place of case studies in social science methodology. It argues that case

7. studies, statistical methods, and formal models are complementary rather than
competitive. The book explains how to design case study research that will produce
results useful to policymakers and emphasizes the importance of developing policy-
relevant theories. It offers three major contributions to case study methodology: an
emphasis on the importance of within-case analysis, a detailed discussion of process
tracing, and development of the concept of typological theories. Case Studies and
Theory Development in the Social Sciences will be particularly useful to graduate
students and scholars in social science methodology and the philosophy of science, as
well as to those designing new research projects, and will contribute greatly to the
broader debate about scientific methods.
E-LEARNING THROUGH E-CONTENT
One of the most innovative and promising outcomes of distance learning and
telecommunication relationship is e-learning. It is a process where by teachers and
students are linked up in an electronic media Computer network. E-learning facilities the
learner in terms of any time learning, anywhere learning, asynchronous interaction and
group collaboration. E-learning provides the possibility of teaching based on learning
objects. Learning objects are the smallest independent education components which
can be reused in e-content of different subjects and authors, thus it is more economical
and time-saving in e-content development. The teaching method in e-learning has
changed from being teacher based to being student based. Virtual environment can
create pervasive and dynamic interaction through virtual simulation which will upgrade
learning accompanied by hearing and seeing to practical learning and experiencing.
8. CONCLUSION
The ultimate aim of e-content development is to create an information rich society
where everyone, irrespective of caste, religion, race, region, gender etc are empowered
to create, receive, share and utilize information and knowledge for their economic,
social, cultural and political upliftment and development. In this knowledge explosion
trend, production of creative contents and incorporating innovative information and
Communication Technology for effective dissemination of such contents play a vital role.
This great transformation posses challenges to educators regarding their basic tenets, to
deploy the media in creative and productive, ways as âteachers are the central forces in
tapping the learning opportunities created by ICT.
