Understanding emerging digital behaviours and their impactLawrie Phipps
Understanding how students behave online,
how their 'digital literacies' manifest and how
they are developing online strategies around
information seeking and collaboration is key
to how institutions support learning. Based on
the ongoing work of the Digital Visitors &
Residents project this session will explore the various 'modes of engagement' students operate in online for their learning and their perceptions of credibility in the digital environment.

ELearning is often touted as the way to ensure that everyone, irrespective of their geographical location, can participate in education and the learning management system is usually what enables this. The learning management system houses multi-media, assessments of all stripes, resources, wikis and social forums. But what happens when there is no internet? Do those without access have to forgo the opportunities and rich interaction afforded by the learning management system? This presentation, describes a project underway at the University of Southern Queensland to create a version of Moodle that doesn’t require internet access. And explores its possible application to a host of alternative contexts and uses.
Retech: Digital Innovation and Integration in the ClassroomKathryn Schravemade
Presentation for @eduwebinar with @helenstower1
A key goal of future proof education is to ensure students are engaging with information, people and technologies as ‘connected learners’ and that this engagement is effective, safe and ethical.
In our particular school setting, it was identified that traditional ICT subjects focused on the development of software usage skills, which no longer supported the evolving needs of our students. Instead we needed students to develop skills in digital citizenship so that they could participate effectively in an online and networked world. Retech (Research and Technology) is a Middle Years learning experience that has developed in response to this need.
This presentation will explore some of the skills taught in Retech:
Cybersafety & building a positive digital footprint;
Information literacies such as smart searching, curation, effective note taking, licensing and attribution;
Using blogs and social media for building a PLN (Personal Learning Network);
Collaboration through shared bookmarks, notes & Google Groups;
Inquiry and problem solving; and
Creating and presenting with digital tools such as video productions, podcasts and infographics.
E-Learning in the university: When will it really happen?eLearning Papers
eLearning has enormous potential in education, and there is an urgent need to take stock of the possibilities that it offers. Despite this urgency, research on eLearning is still in a nascent stage and there is a degree of conceptual confusion in the field that is difficult to tolerate.

Learning and Education in the Networked SocietyEricsson
It took 100 years to connect 1 billion places and 25 years to connect 5 billion people. Today, 85 percent of the world’s population has access to mobile communications, and by 2020 we expect there to be 50 billion connected devices.
Mobile phones, tablets and laptops are making the school desk as we know it obsolete. Today’s progressive schools are having their classrooms rebuilt to turn them into multifunctional spaces to enable new ways of learning. A new Ericsson Networked Society report, "Learning and Educations in the Networked Society" , shows that introducing ICT in schools affects six principal areas.

"Developing online learning resources: Big data, social netorks, and cloud computing to support pervasive knowledge" de Muhammad Anshari & Yabit Alas1 & Lim Sei Guan
Published online: 21 May 2015 # Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015
Abstract
Utilizing online learning resources (OLR) from multi channels in learning activities promise extended benefits from traditional based learning-centred to a collaborative based learning-centred that emphasises pervasive learning anywhere and anytime. While compiling big data, cloud computing, and semantic web into OLR offer a broader spectrum of pervasive knowledge acquisition to enrich users’ experience in learning. In conventional learning practices, a student is perceived as a recipient of information and knowledge. However, nowadays students are empowered to involve in learning processes that play an active role in creating, extracting, and improving OLR collaborative learning platform and knowledge sharing as well as distributing. Researchers have employed contents analysis for reviewing literatures in peer-reviewed journals and interviews with the teachers who utilize OLR. In fact, researchers propose pervasive knowledge can address the need of integrating technologies like cloud computing, big data, Web 2.0, and Semantic Web. Pervasive knowledge redefines value added, variety, volume, and velocity of OLR, which is flexible in terms of resources adoption, knowledge acquisition, and technological implementation.

Technology and Education
The technology has done tremendous things on our society today particularly in the field of education. In medieval times, books were rare and only an elite few had access to educational opportunities. Today, massive amounts of books, audio, images, and videos, are available at one’s fingertips, the opportunities for formal learning are available online worldwide, access to learning opportunities today is unprecedented in scope thanks to technology, So, It has to be understood that the schooling system has been positively impacted as both students and teachers are now able to perform their task efficiently (Collins, 2013). The using technology is becoming a universal medium and source for most of the information that flows through eyes, will be facilitate the process of education on widely and availability of computers in schools these days has enabled students and teachers have unlimited access to many categories of education. The advances in the technology are very helpful in distance learning and transforming the way people are educated.
I think the technology has helped a lot in raising the understanding level of students and improving education in many ways, it is good tool in building interest in studies as a result students' attendance is increased in institutions which availing technology education. "Technology can give teachers and students great resources, new opportunities for learning, ways to collaborate and create, and save money. Technology is a very powerful tool for education" (David Andrade, 2009). The technology can improve student achievement and it is improving education in many ways, of which active Learning Interactive technologies supply stimulating environments that encourage student involvement in the learning process, there are many studies that support the advantages of using multimedia to help students construct knowledge and work cooperatively. Interactive technologies aid teachers with creating new learning environments.
Let’s look at assistive education technology and how that can the improve the functional capabilities of a child with a disability. Online learning, can offer disabled students some additional perks, most notably the convenience and flexibility to accommodate individual needs and the people separated by distance and time and often do not include consideration of the needs of people with disabilities. In fact, the design of many distance learning courses erects barriers to the full participation of students and instructors with some types of disabilities.
Introduction of any new tool into academia is a matter of great interest among educators, this is particularly evident when the tool is technology and the domain of academia. The teachers already shoulder tremendous responsibilities; technology can create an equitable and efficient system that supports both teaching and ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

5. Two faculties but one focus Seamless integration of technology Establish an effective communication network Transform classrooms from isolated learning environments to collaborative, connected teaching models in which teachers use on-line tools to share and build on best practices.
7. Teaching and learning We must move beyond simply integrating technology into the curriculum. It’s not about “toys”. Changing how students learn and how we teach. Learning is a very social thing. But we spend a lot of time in schools trying to undo this concept. Blogs, e-mail exchanges, whiteboard accessories, video, podcasts, videos, etc. – what’s next?
9. Moving from K-12 to college Grade level standards (grades 4, 8, & 12) College readiness Accessibility of technology On-line learning Textbooks vs. digital content (cost?) Expanded use of multimedia curricula
