Mobile Score Notification System
Education is one of the main pillars and key concerns for each society in general. In developing countries, in particular in Afghanistan, we observe a remarkable increase in enrollment in education and higher education institutions, but most of the students don't have proper access to their scores. For instance, while Kankor result is announced the vast amounts of traffic the visitors generate make the website completely down and inaccessible. Another example, There is no efficient method to access the university scores in particular for students from other provinces. Last but not least, Diploma and certification verification is a lengthy and complicated process, when graduated students apply for jobs and scholarships inside or outside of Afghanistan they are asked to provide their certificate and diploma. One of the solutions can be verification of the graduation documents through SMS.
In Herat Innovation Lab 2015, Education group members under the mentorship of Abdul Rahman Sherzad chose this social and educational domain problem and within three days they designed and developed a prototype solution that enable students to access i.e. Kankor Scores Result, University Scores Result, Faculties Announcements and Events, and Certificate/Diploma Verification via SMS, Mobile and Web Applications effectively and efficiently.
Research Data Management training with Open Educational Resources
A comparison of the experience of University of Edinburgh Data Library staff of creating Open Educational Resources (OERs) for Research Data Management training using Xerte (to build MANTRA) compared to Coursera for the Research Data Management and Sharing MOOC. #RDMSmooc #OER16 This presentation was a Lightning Talk by Pauline Ward at the OER16 conference on 19 April 2016.
Evaluation of Existing Web Structure of Afghan Universities
This presentation looks into the existing web structure and services of all Afghan universities, not only to evaluate the entire infrastructure but also to systematically analyze the gaps and design challenges of web platforms and services as a means of communication and collaboration among various stakeholders including the Ministry of Higher Education, its subsidiaries, students and other related audience.
The presentation finds that the environment for necessary ICT infrastructure and services is up to the expected required standard to provide access to various online resources and systems. The next important finding is the increasing demand by students to access information online rather than the existing traditional paper-based systems. Another very important finding is related to the non-existence of a formal managerial oversight to all the online resources and thus has resulted to a very poor quality of content, outdated information and the services that don't meet the expected needs and challenges.
Mobile Learning Framework & Evaluation
This study explored the use of a mobile learning (m-learning) framework and applications to extend e-learning to wireless devices. Researchers implemented a prototype m-learning environment in 3 university courses over 2 semesters with 63 students total. Students accessed course materials and discussions on both computers and mobile devices. Surveys found students valued the convenience but disliked slow connections and small screens. While technology posed barriers, m-learning showed potential if these issues were addressed.
Comparative and non-comparative_studies
This study compares student outcomes for identical courses offered online asynchronously and face-to-face synchronously. The study aims to provide information systems concepts to global business undergraduates. Students complete a questionnaire to determine if they have the skills and resources to complete the online course. The relationship between course delivery mode and outcomes is unclear, with most research finding little difference in student performance between online and face-to-face courses.
"Application of digital library in learning"
1) The document discusses the application of digital libraries in learning at Central University of Karnataka. It analyzes student usage of and familiarity with digital library resources through a survey of 50 postgraduate students.
2) The survey found that most students were familiar with and used the digital library for acquiring information, with 42% accessing e-databases and 20% accessing online news.
3) The digital library was accessible to students, with 78% confirming it had its own website and 80% saying it was part of the university website. 60% also confirmed the existence of a separate digital library.
Making it Work...Taking the Frustration Out of Course Reserves
The document discusses the benefits of using an electronic course reserves management system over a traditional paper-based system. The key benefits mentioned include improved tracking and communication for faculty requests, the ability to clone classes and avoid refilling out forms each semester, and easier student access through a single online menu. The system also allows for better statistics collection and communication between library departments to improve services.
Where's the A-Z? Driving Moodle forward... with roadmaps!
Slides for section of workshop on Moodle Developments at RHUL for MoodleMoot UK
Parmar N.R., Pope A., Jenner M. (2010) Where's the A-Z? Driving Moodle forward... with roadmaps!
A key conference theme is how use of Moodle in Higher Education (HE) has moved from specialist, small scale examples led by a band of enthusiasts to institution wide solutions at the heart of the learning and teaching strategy. This, in turn, has posed several challenges for support staff in central services as they attempt to architect and manage Moodle as a robust, scaleable enterprise service whilst allowing users to innovate pedagogically. In this session, three institutions will share their approaches to Moodle development and management so far and discuss their future roadmaps, detailing internal and external expectations and influences. The session will encourage participants to add their key development themes, allowing for identification of potential areas for collaboration between and within institutions. MoodleMoot UK 2010 provides the presenters with an opportunity to look back at their institutions' progress with Moodle so far and reflect on the highlights of the journey travelled so far.

DIY: in-house evaluation to inform and improve IL delivery - Michael Latham &...IL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)
The University of Hull conducted an in-house evaluation of their Summon discovery tool to assess its impact on resource discovery and information literacy (IL) support. The evaluation was done in stages using various methods and targeting different groups. It focused on usability, functionality, user needs, and how discovery behaviors changed. The evaluation informed IL delivery strategies and helped the library decide to continue using Summon long-term. This presentation describes how the evaluation evolved over two years, how in-house resources were used, and how IL support adapted based on the results.TAMU Library Orientation Fall 2013

Exploring Social Media as tool for professional learning in Higher Education ...
Exploring Social Media as tool for professional learning in Higher Education ...Dr Muireann O'Keeffe
This study is embarking on an exploration of how a group of higher education professionals use social media and endeavours to investigate if these activities are influential to their academic professional development. Various studies have investigated how the participatory web can empower academic researchers. Some anecdotal evidence exists that participation in online spaces can support professional development learning.
Systems have become common place to assure the quality of higher education and support the continuing development of academic staff. The establishment of centres for teaching and learning, which offer qualifications in learning and teaching practices aim to enhance quality of teaching in higher education. Demands from the government and European Commission require the professionalisation and development of academic staff in higher education.
A recent survey of academics working in Irish higher education reported that while formal approaches to accreditation of teaching and learning activities are valued, openings for informal peer exchange and more non-formal approaches are also called for.
In light of this I wish to explore the participation of a specific group of Irish higher education professionals with social media tools, in particular Twitter, and investigate if this participation is influencing their professional development as academics. Participants of this research are consenting graduates of an academic development programme from an Irish higher education institution. This research takes a case study approach as it presents the activities of this group of participants. In the research I will seek to answer (1) what the activities of these higher education professionals are on Twitter; (2) if the activities might support the professional learning of these higher education professionals?; (3) What barriers and enablers exist in using social media for professional purposes?Proposal writing and computers conference
I will be presenting at the Writing and Computers Conference with other presenters at the University of Wisconsin Stout at the end of May.
Attendance Monitoring System of Marinduque Academy Inc.
The document outlines the proposed Attendance Monitoring System for Marinduque Academy Inc. It currently faces problems with manually recording student attendance and a lack of communication between the school and parents. The objectives of the new system are to provide computerized attendance monitoring, communication between parents and school, and SMS notifications to parents. The scope of the system will be to manage attendance records in a database, allow searches and reports, automatically log attendance via fingerprint scanning, and send SMS messages to parents with student arrival times and absences. However, the system will only monitor overall student attendance and not track class schedules or faculty attendance.

Karen Stevenson - Developing a mobile strategy for the University of Glasgow ...Scottish Library & Information Council (SLIC), CILIP in Scotland (CILIPS)
The University of Glasgow Library developed a mobile strategy to provide library services and resources to students and staff via mobile devices. The strategy involved 10 key areas including allowing library catalog searches and renewals from mobile phones. A survey found that students and staff most commonly used their mobile internet for email, social media, and browsing. The initial phase of the mobile strategy focused on basic catalog searches and account functions through a mobile-friendly interface. Further phases aimed to expand access to ebooks and leverage technologies like QR codes and messaging. The strategy aimed to gradually implement mobile offerings while educating users and gathering feedback.6-120-1100-Schulz
