The document discusses online learning in K-12 schools. It provides several reasons for implementing online learning, such as filling instructional gaps, providing remediation and test preparation, offering career training and extracurricular activities. It also discusses different types of online learning modules and programs. The document addresses common concerns about online learning, such as access issues and the ability of students and courses to be accredited. It emphasizes that online learning requires motivation, discipline and certain skills from students.
The world is in a constant state of change. The changes are profoundly affecting every
part of the fabric of our society.
Education is particularly is affected by change, with a
direct impact on the cultures of our schools and universities, and also by projection –
with implications for all our futures.
It is likely that the students we now teach will leave school to enter a world of work
that is radically different to the world with which we are currently familiar.
The evolution of digital media has brought us to an unprecedented point in history
where we are able to connect, create and collaborate in new ways on a global basis.
Knowledge production is burgeoning, to the extent that any fact or statistic is now
openly searchable and available on the Web. Such cultural shifts necessitate new
modes of thinking, new ways of communication and new rules of engagement with
people, content and organisations.
Mobile technologies, handheld devices and social media have combined to create
fertile, anytime-anyplace learning opportunities that are unprecedented. Teachers and
learners are adapting to these new untethered and ubiquitous modes of education,
and in so doing, are discovering an entirely new array of skills which we shall call the
‘digital literacies’. These include the ability to learn across and between multiple and
diverse platforms, the ability to self broadcast to large audiences and the discernment
to select and filter out good and bad content, all achievable within ever changing mediated environments.
What will be the new skills and literacies that teachers and students will need, to
survive and thrive in the digital age? How will assessment of learning change? What
will be the expectations of young learners, and will these differ from what the
institutions can offer? Ultimately, how will teachers prepare students for a world of
work we can no longer clearly describe?

Making moodle more accessible for staff and students UCL disability conferenc...Jessica Gramp
Moodle is not completely accessible, since it does not fully meet the Wide Web Consortium (W3C) WCAG 2.0 level AA web standard. Even if it were technically accessible, this would not guarantee an accessible experience to all disabled students and staff (W3C 2016b; Cooper et al 2007).
“When websites… are badly designed, they can create barriers that exclude people from using the Web.” (W3C 2016a).
At UCL, we formed an interdisciplinary team of Digital Education and Disability Support staff and conducted focus groups with disabled students and staff to discover difficulties they had using UCL Moodle and generated priority areas for improvements. The focus groups considered both improvements to Moodle and its interface and support for both disabled users and Moodle course editors.
Accessibility consultants, a developer and a designer were recruited to improve Moodle Accessibility from a variety of angles, by implementing:
A new, more accessible UCL Moodle visual design (theme) for use on desktop and mobile devices.
Enhanced UCL Moodle features (plugins) and configuration.
Improved training, staff development and support for disabled staff and students, as well as course editors.
Improvements to code within Moodle and theme.
The first two elements are discussed further in this poster from the First UCL Interdisciplinary Conference on Disability, 2018. See the conference programme at: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/grand-challenges/justice-and-equality/priorities/disability/conference-programme

Trends and approaches in medical education in the digital age Natalie Lafferty
The use of technology has become ubiquitous in medical education. Educational technologies have increased access to learning resources but there are also challenges and personal development needs for both staff and students to be considered. This presentation that I gave to the Galway Area Medical Education group at Galway Medical School on 7 March 2013 considers some of the emerging trends in using technology in medical education and approaches to their implementation with examples from across the continuum of medical education.

Gave a talk at StartCon about the future of Growth. I touch on viral marketing / referral marketing, fake news and social media, and marketplaces. Finally, the slides go through future technology platforms and how things might evolve there.
Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…
‘Digital learning’ is gaining traction as more organisations begin to offer individual units and entire programs in the online space. But what are the characteristics of digital learning that make it good? This session provides an opportunity to learn more about digital learning pedagogy, and digital learning design.
Present generation of learners, growing up in a digital age, expect a fully IT-infused curriculum as a minimum. So, the majority of non-digital-age maritime instructors have to strive hard to keep pace with these new-age students’ expectations. In this paper, we will share our experience at the Wavelink Maritime Institute (WMI), where we are busy in developing and delivering a 3-year pre-sea training programme for marine engineers. Integrating technology in curriculum led to seamless accessibility, reduction of drudgery of calculations in engineering problems, increase in conceptual understandings. This also enables trials of various what-if scenarios and simulations of more authentic engineering cases, which were sometimes arranged as team assignments to add teamwork and cooperation in learning. Starting with the description of the steps taken to develop a knowledge-based infrastructure for learning, the paper will share some specific applications of technology usage in many of the course subjects and also include our student feed back, which reflects some degree of success of our efforts.

In a world where knowing how to learn and monitor your own learning is more important than just knowing the facts, education and training is gravitating to more learning-centred approaches. Learning-centred environments support learners to not only have input into what is they need to learn, but they also help them determine how their work should be monitored and evaluated. In learning-centred practice, the monitoring of learner progress is no longer the sole responsibility of the teacher, but that of learner, their peers and their mentors through the use of online personal learning spaces or eportfolios (Brown, Chen & Gordon, 2012).
This presentation examines three categories of technology for use in Higher Ed Instruction:
1) Web2.0: Slides 5 - 17
2) Cell Phones: Slides 18 - 31
3) Virtual World Learning and Second Life: Slides 33 - 56
New Directions in Technology Enhanced LearningDr Wayne Barry
This presentation was part of a bespoke Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (PGCLT(HE)) at Canterbury Christ Church University on the 12th February 2014. The presentation considers how technology can be used to support, facilitate and mediate learning at different stages within the student learning journey. Furthermore, the presentation looks at the current and emergent technologies that are just over the horizon and the impact these may have in the future of education.

8. Yes, but… “ Doesn’t setting up online learning require advanced computer skills?” No. Many online Learning Modules are easy to use, requiring the same skills as popular word-processing, presentation, and browsing software. YouTube is a great source for tutorials on how to install and use these programs.

9. Yes, but… “ What is this going to cost?” Although large-scale online learning ventures may need more sophisticated hosting through pay services, teachers can easily create classes using services like Moodle or Rcampus for free.

10. Yes, but… “ What if my students do not have computer or Internet access?” (Image Source: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumblarge_328/1225469039Ou1LyM.jpg) (Image Source: http://www.ebr.lib.la.us/teens/images/computer%20monitor%20and%20books%20use%20this%20one.jpg) Access can still be still a problem in the United States. Some students can get online at local public libraries or using school computers. Unfortunately, every case is different, so accommodations must be tailored to individual circumstances.

Unfortunately, every case is different, so accommodations must be tailored to individual circumstances.
11. Yes, but… “ Can e-learning courses be accredited?” Many systems have already developed fully accredited e-learning courses that meet the standards for their regions. And, according to Cavanaugh and Clark (2007) organizations such as the Council for Trans-Regional Accreditation are developing standards for inter-region accreditation.

12. Yes, but… Students who do well with online learning possess many of the same characteristics as their successful peers in brick-and-mortar settings: motivation, discipline, and academic skill. Students with abstract reasoning and reflective observation skills seem to do better than those who require hands-on experience and experimentation (Cavanaugh & Clark, 2007). “ Can my students handle e-learning?” Students who do well with online learning possess many of the same characteristics as their successful peers in brick-and-mortar settings: motivation, discipline, and academic skill.

13. Yes, but… “ What about those students who need more supervision and concrete experience?” Improvements in technology will increasingly address these limitations. Meanwhile, teachers can help students thrive in online learning environments by designing highly structured courses in which collaboration, communication, project and problem-based learning, and learning tools like virtual manipulatives and video conferencing help keep students focused and involved.
