This document provides an overview of technology enhanced learning. It discusses lessons learned from the past evolution of e-learning and emerging trends, challenges and technologies. It presents frameworks for understanding e-pedagogies and how they map to different technologies. Examples of inquiry-based, collaborative and reflective learning approaches using tools like virtual worlds, blogs and social media are also provided.
This document discusses innovation and creativity through new media in education. It outlines technological trends like mobile learning, games-based learning, and the internet of things. It also discusses different pedagogical approaches like e-learning, inquiry-based learning, collective intelligence, and connectivism. Finally, it introduces learning design frameworks like the 7Cs framework to help design open educational resources and online courses.
New digital ecologies of learning are emerging as technologies evolve and new digital literacies develop. Learning is becoming more personalized, task-oriented, and social. A range of technologies like mobile devices, social media, and open educational resources are changing the nature of education. Effective design of learning requires conceptualizing pedagogical approaches and mapping them to appropriate technologies. This creates new digital ecologies where tools and practices co-evolve to support learning.
The document outlines best practices for online education including:
1. A graphical organizer showing key elements of an effective online educational experience such as social, cognitive, and teacher presence as well as knowledge construction and community.
2. Descriptions of various instructional technologies that can be used for online learning such as 3D animation, blogs, Blackboard, Flickr, iTunes, Sakai, Skype, Slideshare, texting, and YouTube.
3. References for further information about using these technologies for teaching and learning online.
Digital literacies are skills needed to communicate and interpret ideas in a modern context with new technologies. They include the ability to use various web 2.0 tools like social media, blogs, and wikis. Developing digital literacies requires adopting new approaches to teaching and learning that are personalized, situated, inquiry-based, and reflective. It also means developing skills like visualizing information, networking, and practicing critical thinking when analyzing online communications.
It's hardly easy to be softly hard: freedom and control in learning spacesjondron
The document discusses different generations of distance learning pedagogies and how they align with different structures. The first generation used instructivist pedagogies focused on individual learning. The technologies of this generation included CAI, textbooks, and one-way broadcasts. The second generation used social constructivist pedagogies centered around groups and collaboration. However, groups have limitations in terms of openness, scale, and preparation for lifelong learning. The document then examines how different structures like groups, networks, and collectives relate to different levels of freedom and control in learning.
Digital learning; connected, collaborated and constructedJacob Theilgaard
Digital learning is becoming increasingly connected, collaborative, and constructed. The shift to horizontal communication networks organized around the internet and wireless technologies has introduced new communication patterns and represents a fundamental cultural transformation as virtuality becomes an essential dimension of reality. Networked intelligence relies on collaboration, openness, sharing, integrity, and interdependence. Personal learning environments allow for learning through experiences outside of formal contexts using a personal learning network and personal web tools. Constructivism deals with how people create meaning through individual constructs, and connectivism views learning as occurring inside and outside people through storing knowledge in computers and other individuals.
PLEs include the capacities, skills, contacts, tools, and resources that Learners use to direct learning and pursue personal and professional goals. Placing students at the center of their learning environments encourages students to take charge of their learning. PLEs provide a unifying concept that can address a number of promising educational practices.

This document summarizes a presentation on using technology and multimedia in English language education. It discusses how technology has evolved from standalone software to internet-based tools that allow for more interactivity and accessibility. While technology may help language learning through interaction and participation, it also brings risks like interference with acquisition and unhealthy communication habits. An effective approach grounds technology use in learning theories and provides an interactive interface within a supportive learning community.
Keynote slides from Segundo Coloquio Nacional de Educación Media Superior a Distancia, in Mexico, 2011, discussing the dance and coevolution of technologies (including pedagogies) that has led to the emerging connectivist model of distance learning. The presentation looks beyond this to a holist model of distance learning that embodies collective and set entities as well as networks and groups.
The document discusses predicting the future of technology and learning. It makes three key points:
1) It is difficult to accurately predict future technology trends and adoption due to rapid changes, but some trajectories are emerging like the growth of mobile devices and social networking tools.
2) Pedagogies are evolving to harness new technologies, from e-training to inquiry learning, and situated learning using virtual worlds is emerging.
3) While technologies offer promising applications for learning, issues remain around fully realizing that potential and a gap often exists between the promise of technologies and their reality in educational practice.
Learning Together About First Nations PedagogySylvia Currie
The First Nations Pedagogy project is conceived as a learning community for educators, elders, curriculum developers, educational leaders, and students to share resources, discuss practices, and support one another in creating the best possible educational experiences for our aboriginal learners. While the basic framework is in place, a key component requiring further thinking and development is a “Learning Centre”, a Moodle site to co-create, share, and implement learning activities that may be utilized by teachers and other educational leaders who work with aboriginal students. During this session we invite you to participate in the design of this Learning Centre.

Various interaction tools like polls, chat and breakout rooms are discussed. The document emphasizes creating a learning community with diverse interactions among students, tutors, and content.
The document proposes a mobile ticketing system for local trains in India using SMS. It would allow passengers to purchase tickets, platform tickets, and passes by sending SMS messages. The system would use a single SMS gateway to authenticate payments, check account balances, and send purchase confirmations. It estimates the potential revenue from the 10% of over 300 million mobile users in India who ride local trains daily. The proposal outlines a three-phase implementation plan starting with platform tickets before expanding to local train tickets and passes at stations.
Measuring the Effectiveness of Online Tutorials: A Pragmatic ApproachC Craig
This document summarizes research comparing the effectiveness of HTML versus streaming video tutorials for online library instruction. It finds that students learn more from video tutorials, as measured by confidence levels and quiz scores, because video tutorials use both visual and verbal modalities supported by dual coding theory and have a more linear navigation structure supported by constructivism. The researchers surveyed and tested students after viewing tutorials on Value Line Online, with video tutorial students reporting greater confidence gains and scoring higher on all quiz questions. The document concludes that while online tutorials can supplement live instruction, video tutorials are more effective for student learning.

This document summarizes research on online learning communities for teachers' continuous professional development. It presents a case study of an eTwinning Learning Event that was conducted in two cycles. The research context discusses benefits of online communities for learning. The research design section outlines a community of inquiry framework and research questions. The findings section notes recommendations from the first cycle and changes made in the second cycle to strengthen cognitive, social and teaching presences. Participation levels correlated with moderated activities and discussions.
The document discusses learners' perceptions of learning in open and networked environments. It finds that such learning is connected, as learners are connected through various tools and networks to people, resources, and each other. It is also disruptive, as the unstructured nature of open learning can be challenging to manage. Learners must self-organize, determining how to learn, what tools to use, and how to develop connections. The learning is emergent and unpredictable as interactions and activities grow rhizomatically. Learners are expected to create, share, and expand their knowledge in this complex, distributed, and chaotic environment.
This document discusses open education and new opportunities enabled by emerging technologies. It covers open resources like MOOCs, open courses, open accreditation through peer-to-peer and OER universities. Open research topics include citation indicators, linking research to practice through horizon scanning and more. A pedagogy framework maps learning approaches like problem-based and inquiry-based learning to technologies like virtual worlds, Google, and discussion forums. New metaphors for open learning include ecologies, spaces, memes, and rhizomes. Communities in these open spaces are complex and distributed. Learners and teachers must develop new digital skills to make use of these opportunities.
The document introduces the concept of using mobile devices to develop electronic portfolios at different developmental levels, from a basic collection of artifacts to a more advanced showcase, and demonstrates how apps can be used for reflection, feedback, and editing portfolios. It also discusses the objectives of reflection, identity development, and online branding for electronic portfolios.
This document outlines Gráinne Conole's presentation on designing for learning in an open world. The presentation discusses the evolving landscape of e-learning, including emerging technologies, learner experiences, new pedagogies, and open practices. It also examines teacher practices and paradoxes, and strategies for change, including intervention frameworks and new approaches to learning design. Key research questions are posed around learner and teacher experiences with technologies, available resources and pedagogical patterns, emerging e-pedagogies, and strategies to promote e-learning.
Pedagogical Principles for Effective Distance Learning Susana Galante
1. The document outlines pedagogical principles for distance learning. It discusses synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities and challenges of distance learning like lack of human touch.
2. It emphasizes the importance of planning for synchronous meetings, including preparing tools and materials in advance and using a clear structure of pulse-checking, new material, group work and reflection. Breakout rooms, polling and screen sharing can aid interaction.
3. A variety of digital tools like Nearpod, Padlet and Flipgrid are recommended for active learning, collaboration and engagement during distance instruction.
1) The document examines how emerging technologies are impacting the traditional role of universities and learner/teacher experiences.
2) It discusses trends like mobile learning, personalized learning, and bring your own devices (BYOD), and how these tools are creating more social, participatory, and ubiquitous learning experiences.
3) The author argues that new pedagogies are needed to fully leverage these technologies and foster more open, collaborative practices around teaching, research, and learning.
Designing activities for online learningMark_Childs
This document discusses designing activities for online learning. It outlines five models of learning design: teaching approaches, experiential learning cycle, 5 stages model, and supporting online interaction. The experiential learning cycle places student activities at the core and forms a cycle of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Technology can support each stage, through simulations, videos, discussion boards, podcasts, and student-created artifacts. When designing activities, instructors should consider student preferences, demand for technology, and supporting reflection, conceptualization, and experimentation.
Flipping and connecting your classroom langsidegerrydn
The document discusses the concept of connected learning and flipping the classroom. Connected learning involves learning through real-life scenarios, interdisciplinary activities, communication, collaboration and using technology to facilitate interaction. It can enhance the learning experience by making learning more connected. Flipping the classroom inverts traditional teaching by delivering instruction online and using class time for activities, group work and assessment. The benefits include more flexibility for learners, maximizing the use of time, and allowing teachers to work directly with students. Preparation is needed to amend lesson plans and develop supporting materials for online instruction.
Eportfolios allow people to manage the evidence of their formal and informal learning experiences by enabling them to gather and present their information in one place. Through a flexible, student-centred approach, teachers/trainers can regularly provide ongoing feedback and advice to their students through their eportfolio. As part of a structured and scaffolded program, students are empowered to showcase themselves in a variety of ways, utilising the mobile devices which they carry around with them, and as they collect their evidence anytime, anywhere. The skills students develop in creating their eportfolio are those necessary to effectively present and manage themselves online, a key skill for the 21st century. Students then have the opportunity to use their eportfolio to apply for a job, get a promotion or gain recognition of prior learning. This session will demonstrate how eportfolios are being used as flexible, online learning and assessment spaces, and how teachers/trainers can get started in implementing eportfolios with their students.

creative, and responsive
– attend training sessions because they
want to learn (engage with content)
– naturally learn (natural learning/self
directed learning)
• Principles of social constructivism and
connectivism apply
