eLU 2013 Incubating online course design and developmentBrenda Mallinson
ย
This document summarizes a project that built capacity for online course design and development at 7 African universities over 3 years. It provided workshops on online pedagogy, course design, and learning management systems. Academics developed online courses with support from internal teams. Successes included increased skills and collaboration. Challenges included unreliable internet access and staff changes. Outcomes were more online courses and open educational resources. Lessons highlighted the need for institutional support and treating online learning design as an iterative process.
The proposal suggests piloting an eLearning program at RHR Elementary School to provide additional technology training and professional development for teachers. It would utilize a blended learning model, with self-paced online courses and modules as well as some face-to-face sessions. The goals are to improve teachers' technology skills, increase integration of tools like web 2.0 in instruction, and provide flexible just-in-time training. A core team of teachers would develop the initial content. The program would use free and existing resources, with costs mainly for substitutes during planning and some equipment. Overall it aims to close technology gaps and increase opportunities for professional growth.

There are different ways that people learn best. Some learn well in groups, others alone, and learning styles can differ based on whether people prefer listening, watching, writing or discussing. To learn effectively, one must understand their own learning preferences and strengths. Most learning involves a cycle of having an experience, reflecting on it, making connections and generalizations, and applying those lessons in new situations. People can learn from any significant life experience, whether enjoyable, impactful, or one they do not want repeated.

The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
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.
