Examining how coalescent spaces can transform in-class and out of class learningJohn Couperthwaite
How can we learn to blend live, in-class learning between physical and digital spaces? And how can teaching pedagogies adapt to new opportunities? This session will examine how digital advances in classroom learning are creating ‘coalescent spaces’ (White, 2016) in which students are empowered to collaborate through activities, discussion and feedback during class. Teachers also benefit from greater engagement through disrupting passive teaching approaches and being better informed of learner interaction and behaviours. Not only can this establish more engaged communities of learning in class, but it also encourages greater sequencing of learning before, during and after class based on the non-linear affordances of digital spaces.

Building Online Learning Communities Using Web 2.0 TechnologiesDr. Mariam Abdelmalak
In this presentation, I describe how I use Web 2.0 technologies to facilitate the development of a community of learners among graduate distant students and how students responded to the use of Web 2.0 tools and to what extent these tools assisted in developing a community of learners. Twitter, Skype, Google Documents, Blog, and Wiki were intentionally used in order to build online learning communities among students. An anonymous survey was used. The students indicated that using Google Documents, Twitter, Wiki, and blog gave them a sense of a learning community while using Skype did not give them a sense of a learning community. Google Documents and Wiki had the most impact on students’ sense of a learning community in the course.

Goldsmiths, Learning, Teaching and Web 2.0miravogel
With the arrival of the social, participative web often referred to as Web 2.0 came talk of Learning 2.0. Learning 2.0 can be summarised as collaborative, project-based, self-directed, boundary-busting and above all connected. We discuss some national horizon scanning, and the ways Goldsmiths learners and teachers are using what the Web has to offer. We then discuss some of the challenges this poses for learners and academic teachers across higher education institutions, including issues of authority, credit, assessment, facilitation, intellectual property, data protection and support.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

KerryJ, Online Education Designer
Editor's Notes
I’m KerryJ, an Online Education Designer with the Teaching Innovation Unit at the University of South Australia. This is a very brief overview of some ways to engage students online. Keep in mind that the pedagogies and thus the tools for student engagement will vary from course to course. There is never a one size fits all answer – but it is important to look at courses in the context of a Degree Program in order to ensure students are overwhelmed and that the use of technologies is scaffolded at a program level.
Is it all about great content?
Making learning “fun”?
Pretty, shiny tech?
All of these can contribute, but not to the root problem.
According to research, a feeling of social isolation is the root problem with students not engaging online. https://www.iupui.edu/~josotl/archive/vol_10/no_2/v10n2dixson.pdf
The solution is to engage students not just with content, but with each other – and for them to feel a sense of your presence.
In face to face, on-campus tutorials – discussions are a big part of helping students to co-create learning and engage. So what typically happens to translate online?
Forums. Lots of forums. Week after week, topic after topic. Online students do so much reading and writing anyway – that their enthusiasm for having MORE reading and writing to do quickly winds down and they cut corners, doing only the work that is going to be assessed. Even worse – some tutors and instructors don’t engage with the forums either. And if ALL your courses in a study period have weekly – or topic by topic forums – would you engage that readily? That’s a lot of reading and writing.
The solution is a combination of making your presence felt, of engaging students with each other AND having multiple communications channels. Engage them in smaller sub-groups rather than expecting they co-mingle with everyone.
What can you do about your presence? Here are a few ideas. What’s important here though is to ensure you use both Asynchronous AND Synchronous tools. We’ve got a range to choose from that are fully supported.
When it comes to connecting students, again – there needs to be a mix of synchronous and asynchronous approaches – here are some suggestions for both.
And online learning activities such as PBL and IBL are supported with a great range of UniSA and third party tools.
In this simplified example of a full time course load, you can see that each course is holding 1 Virtual Classroom – the blue VC – and one Moodle Text Chat- the red TC - each over a 5 week period, but students get the chance for live engagement in their courses twice a week.
When talking to students, they suggested that you take a poll of when would be best – as those students with kids and jobs often don’t sit down to study until 7 or 8pm at night. Because LC and TC can be run from anywhere – you could run sessions from home if your internet connection were robust enough for Live Classroom. You could at least run live chat sessions.
What’s vital to remember is this brave new environment online has a fantastic new range of tools and approaches for you to use. Mix it up along the continuum from Instructor led to Instructor guided group work to Student led activities – remembering to engage students with each other as co-creators of knowledge.
And finally -
Any OED you engage with is most useful at the planning stages of your course – and preferably at least 3 months out from the start.
