Dreams can contain messages, be strange or unknown, and sometimes dreams come true about various topics if you keep hoping and dreaming. The document also discusses dreaming of a better future without wars or global warming, and how dreaming involves hopes, wishes, good thoughts and wanting something to happen.
This document contains a collection of Spanish phrases and idioms. Many of the phrases are nonsensical or humorous when taken out of context. Some examples include "You have more tale than little street", "Your pan has gone", and "Coward of the prairie". The phrases reference various topics but do not form a coherent story or provide much meaningful information on their own.
Mike Sharples discusses two challenges for mobile learning: achieving massive scale and ensuring sustainability. He argues that some educational methods improve with scale through networked effects, like the telephone, and explores how FutureLearn demonstrates pedagogy at massive scale. Sharples advocates an approach of "bricolage" - creative play with readily available technologies. He suggests smartphones unlock potential through their sensors and that bricolage apps allowing citizen science, place-based stories, or blending Minecraft with the real world could lead to scalable mobile learning.
The document provides tips for using Progress Rollbase Mobile to build mobile apps faster. It outlines three tech tips presented in videos that show how to enable existing Rollbase objects and services for mobile, build a mobile UI by binding to Rollbase objects and views, and add push notifications. The document encourages trying Progress Rollbase Mobile to enhance the app building experience.
Effective Pedagogy at Scale – Social Learning and Citizen InquiryMike Sharples
The document discusses effective pedagogy at massive scale through social learning and citizen inquiry. It outlines how social learning improves with scale through networked systems like MOOCs that enable learning conversations. Key aspects of social learning discussed include visible learning through feedback, formative assessment, and goal setting. The document also explores citizen inquiry, which combines citizen science with collaborative learning through crowd-sourced projects on platforms like iSpot Nature. These approaches aim to develop scalable pedagogy that supports a diversity of learners through open-ended, socially-driven inquiry.

The document discusses the faculty's fear of openness in education. It outlines 5 common fears: 1) openness may damage reputation if poor materials are shared, 2) may impede teaching if students see materials in another class, 3) may endanger careers if open publishing replaces traditional publishing, 4) may lead to legal issues around copyright, and 5) may result in financial losses if materials can be freely downloaded instead of buying textbooks. The document asks how to respond to these objections to openness in education.
Thomas Paine was an English-American political activist and philosopher. He was born in 1737 in England and died in 1809 in New York City. Paine is known for writing influential pamphlets and papers that advocated for American independence and challenged institutionalized religion. Some of his most notable works include Common Sense, published in 1776, which was instrumental in promoting revolutionary ideas in the American colonies. Paine also wrote The Age of Reason and Rights of Man, which criticized institutionalized religion and advocated for liberalism and republicanism. He influenced many American and French revolutionaries with his writings and political ideas.
This is a presentation that I gave to the Australian Business Arts Foundation, introducing and explaining the concept of SYN (The Student Youth Network) in Melbourne.
Malaysia aims to become an international center of higher education excellence by 2020. To achieve this, Malaysia is undertaking several initiatives including the National Higher Education Strategic Plan 2020, encouraging growth in both public and private universities, and promoting transnational education by importing curriculums from countries like Australia and the UK. However, Malaysia still faces challenges like ethnic segregation across public and private institutions and issues around the languages of instruction.
The periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. Dmitri Mendeleev was the first to organize the elements into the periodic table based on their atomic masses. Glenn Seaborg later refined the periodic table by arranging the elements according to their atomic numbers.
Platform-as-a-Service is a revolutionary technology that offers rapid application development and deployment directly to the cloud. But does PaaS really pay off? Research group Vanson Bourne recently conducted a survey of 700 IT decision-makers and asked that very question.
This document summarizes several studies on health information seeking online:
1) A 2002 study found 80% of online adults look for health information online, amounting to 110 million people. Most (53%) use search engines to find information across sites.
2) A 2006 study found 80% of online Americans search for health information daily, with 66% starting on search engines like Google. Many feel more confident in decisions after searching.
3) A 2005-2007 Europe-wide study found internet health users increased from 44% to 54%. The growth occurred across all countries. The internet will be important for future healthcare.
This document summarizes four mobile learning initiatives and lessons learned from each. It discusses (1) the MOBIlearn project which developed mobile learning services for use outside the classroom, (2) the Elmo project for mobile language learning, (3) MyArtSpace for connecting museum and classroom learning using mobile devices, and (4) the embedding of mobile technologies throughout Djanogly City Academy school. Key lessons highlighted include the importance of designing for the learner's mobility, blending formal and informal learning, and ensuring technologies support educational goals and processes.
Sioux Hot-or-Not: Essential Unified Process (Ivar Jacobson)siouxhotornot
The document discusses the need for a new paradigm in software development processes that focuses on practices rather than predefined processes. It argues that processes should be composed of lightweight, independently applicable practices from different methodologies. This allows teams to select the practices most suitable for their needs and change practices flexibly over time. The Essential Unified Process is presented as an example of a practice-centric process delivered through practices rather than rigid methodologies.
Chemical bonds form between atoms in different ways depending on electron configuration. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between metals and nonmetals, creating positively and negatively charged ions. Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between nonmetals. Metallic bonds form between metal atoms through a "sea of electrons" that holds the atoms together.
This document discusses a study that compared the effectiveness of different modes of mobile interaction for learning English vocabulary among Japanese high school students. The study found no significant differences in learning outcomes between using an adaptive e-book app, a regular e-book reader, or a paper book. Challenges included the books being too difficult, lack of student motivation or free time, and technology that was not engaging. However, international collaboration on mobile learning continues with the goal of designing more effective adaptive learning technologies to bridge cultural and educational divides globally.
NEW MEDIA LECTURE - Swinburne University Radio Studentsbryceives
The document discusses the changing media landscape and the rise of new forms of user-generated content and multi-platform media consumption. It notes that traditional barriers between media like television, radio, print and the web are breaking down and being replaced by a single, multi-platform model. It highlights how the iPod and services like YouTube have disrupted traditional gatekeepers and argues that radio stations need to adapt by providing unique, local content across multiple formats to engage modern audiences.
