Presentation by Dr Andreia Inamorato dos Santos for SCORE (Support Centre for Open Resources in Education) on open educational resources reuse cross-culturally. April 14th 2011
This document discusses barriers and motivations for reuse of open educational resources (OER) through case studies of cross-cultural OER reuse. It presents three case studies: 1) UnisulVirtual university in Brazil translates, adapts, and creates new business models from OER. 2) The Aisha Project School in Zambia encourages technology and inquiry-based learning through OER. 3) A UK Open University course encourages in situ editing and repurposing of open educational content.
This document discusses how technology can enhance community-based learning. It provides examples of how technology can help reach isolated learners and offer new learning opportunities. Specifically, technology can give learners more ownership and independence over their education. However, there are also challenges to using technology for community learning, such as some learners and tutors lacking experience or confidence with technology. While technology shows great potential, more work still needs to be done to fully realize its benefits for community-based education.
The document outlines e-learning initiatives at EGGS school for the upcoming term, including establishing an e-learning professional development blog, providing one-on-one support for teachers during lunchtimes, hosting weekly "Learning over Lunch" sessions on topics like using blogs for student writing, and posting online tutorials on the blog every Thursday to support e-learning. The director of e-learning's role is to lead e-learning professional development, manage the e-learning budget, and provide advice on school-wide e-learning initiatives.
This document outlines the advantages of distance education, including that it allows students to complete courses without commuting, at their own convenience from anywhere in the world. Distance education also offers self-paced learning to accommodate different learning styles, accessibility for those with limited mobility, and interaction between students and instructors. It provides students individualized instruction, access to many resources, and can be more affordable than traditional education.
Group presentations were given on the following topics:
1. A two-year online GNVQ2 course delivered by Coleridge Community College using materials from Walton High School through their intranet or CD ROMs. This provided higher personal motivation for students and made them more independent with less teaching time required.
2. Teaching for the online course involved the teacher facilitating rather than directly teaching, with multimedia support and the opportunity for students to repeat sections.
3. The online GNVQ course enabled students to leave school with an extra qualification equivalent to four GCSE passes, and students were motivated and enjoyed the course.
4. Areas for improvement included ensuring each student had individual access to a
Distance education is education that takes place when the source of information and the learners are separated by physical distance, typically using the internet. It allows students to learn at their own pace without attending traditional in-person classes. There are three main models of distance education: correspondence which involves limited collaboration, multimedia which uses television and radio networks, and flexible learning which allows students worldwide to access materials at the same time through various technologies. Distance education has advantages like lower costs, flexibility, and the ability to learn from anywhere in the world, but also disadvantages such as lack of immediate feedback and social interaction compared to traditional classrooms.
The document discusses different models of e-learning and blended learning. It defines blended learning as integrating online and classroom learning facilitated by teachers. E-learning is defined as computer-assisted transfer of skills through online content. The document provides examples of e-learning programs in Malaysian public universities and notes benefits like flexibility, low costs, and easy updating. It recommends a blended approach, improving connectivity, mobile learning initiatives, and establishing a national e-learning council to develop policies and promote e-learning in Malaysia.

The document discusses the history and definitions of distance education. It notes that the Industrial Revolution led to developments in technology that provided new ways to deliver instruction to learners. Distance education refers to delivering education to students who are not physically present, often on an individual basis. It differs from distance learning in that it is a formal system that includes distance learning as well as distance teaching. Modern technology like the internet has made distance learning easier by allowing full curricula to be delivered online through virtual schools and universities. Key features of distance education are the separation of teacher and learner, separation among learners, use of a single medium for delivery, and a communication channel to support interaction.
The 4th International Conference on Advances in Social Sciences was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from December 27-28, 2014. The purpose of the conference was to promote international dissemination of knowledge and development of cross-national academic fraternity. Several presentations discussed topics like knowledge management systems, intellectual property awareness, and inquiry-based learning. Knowledge management software can help organizations store and share information, while educators have a role in teaching students about intellectual property rights. Inquiry-based learning aims to engage students beyond lectures, though its effectiveness may depend on individual learning styles. The conference provided an opportunity to discover how social sciences research impacts libraries and connect with professionals worldwide.
Distance learning courses allow students to complete coursework from anywhere with an internet connection, cutting costs of transportation and accommodations. While more flexible for working students, distance learning requires high motivation and self-discipline since there is less direct interaction with instructors and other students. It may also not be a good fit for those who prefer classroom environments or have little experience with technology.
E-learning and distance learning refer to educational systems that do not require physical co-location of students and instructors. E-learning uses electronic media and communication technologies to deliver instruction while distance learning provides access to education when students and instructors are separated by time or distance. Both require multimedia computers, internet access, and plugins to deliver educational content. The success of these models depends on motivating students to adapt their learning styles to online pedagogies that emphasize experience, reflection, interaction and construction of knowledge.
This document discusses the University of Leeds' introduction of Mediasite Lecture Capture and At Desk Capture software across campus in 2014. It notes that Library Learning Advisers have used the At Desk Capture software to create additional academic skills support for students in the form of short online tutorials. These tutorials address longstanding dissatisfaction with "one shot" teaching activities and provide support at appropriate points for students, though traditional online materials can be time-consuming to create and require specialist e-learning knowledge. The At Desk Capture software allows for quick creation of professional desktop and audio recordings that are instantly uploaded to online learning systems, making it ideal for short tutorials. This presentation will outline the author's approach to creating materials with At
This document provides an overview of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and the Coursera platform. It discusses that Coursera was founded in 2012 by computer science professors from Stanford University to offer online courses from top institutions for free worldwide. It provides details on Coursera's mission to provide universal access to education, philosophy of online learning, the hundreds of courses offered across many fields, learner supports, use of technologies like Scala programming, quality assurance protocols, and management systems to develop and deliver online courses at scale.
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are freely available educational materials that can be used and modified openly. OERs provide widespread access to courses from top universities and help make education more affordable by replacing expensive textbooks. However, OERs can be time-consuming to develop and implement due to a lack of support, and their content may disappear or become outdated. Overall, OERs present exciting new opportunities for supplemental and engaging educational resources, though they have not fully replaced textbooks for all subjects and classes.
SEFI-2013 Online Learning and Higher Engineering Education: The MOOC PhenomenonPieter De Vries
The document discusses the rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and their implications for higher engineering education. It notes that MOOCs provide open access to courses from top universities, reducing costs and expanding reach compared to traditional on-campus classes. Examples are provided of very large enrollments for MOOCs from MIT and Delft University, showing their growing popularity. While MOOCs have the potential to improve teaching and encourage innovation, there are still open questions around developing sustainable business models.
This document defines distance education and discusses its history and recent developments. It provides three key points:
1) Distance education is defined as a formal educational process where instruction occurs when the student and instructor are not in the same place, and may employ correspondence study, audio/video, or computer technologies.
2) Distance education has existed since the 1700s, but saw developments in the early 20th century with instructional films and slides. Television began being used in the 1930s. Recent technology has improved quality and interaction while lowering costs.
3) Recent developments include projects to provide online secondary education and virtual learning environments to facilitate distance learning management.
This presentation introduced why IDer needs to include audio in instructional design, and provided some clues of how to use audios in teaching and learning.
The document discusses using instant messaging (IM) as a tool for additional learning in higher education. It outlines the benefits of IM such as providing increased collaborative opportunities, connecting students from anywhere, and facilitating academic support after hours. However, IM also presents challenges like network problems, the potential for distraction, and increasing lecturers' workload. The document concludes that while education may be slow to adopt new technologies, it must react to how instant messaging has been widely accepted in other areas like commerce and daily life.

1. The document discusses using podcasting as a tool for e-learning. It defines podcasting as involving the authoring and subscription of audio and video files on the internet for downloading.
2. Podcasting can enhance learning by making recorded lectures available for student revision and catch up. It also allows for interviews, debates and providing formative feedback to support learning. Podcasts are a flexible tool that can support both in-class and fieldwork learning.
3. Creating basic podcasts requires a microphone, webcam, and free audio and video editing software. More advanced podcasts can be made with screen recording software. Podcasts are hosted and distributed through services like Podomatic or iTunes.
Distance education is defined as a formal educational process where the majority of instruction occurs when the student and instructor are not in the same place. It may use correspondence study, audio, video, or computer technologies. Distance education dates back to the 1700s but saw more development with advancements in instructional media and technology in the early 20th century. By the late 20th century, over 80% of off-campus instruction incorporated telecommunications technologies, and virtual learning environments further facilitated distance learning management.
OER stands for Open Educational Resources. The document discusses the pros and cons of using OER. Some of the key pros are that OERs expand access to learning by allowing students worldwide to access materials anytime; they can enhance course content by presenting information in multiple formats; and they lower costs to students by reducing the cost of course materials compared to traditional textbooks. However, some cons are that intellectual property and copyright issues need to be addressed since OER content must be checked not to violate copyright; sustainability is a concern if creators are not incentivized to update OERs; and technological issues could arise if students have limited internet access or required software.
This document discusses how to build a teaching brand using the online teaching platform WiZiQ. It states that WiZiQ allows teachers to collaborate with students in real-time and asynchronous modes using various tools and technologies. The document then mentions that the presenter will explain how to use WiZiQ to build an online teaching brand and asks participants to post any questions in the comments.
Online learning involves education that takes place over the Internet, as one type of distance learning. It allows instructors to design flexible courses using different tools to enable learning. Strategies for online learning include regularly communicating with professors, actively participating in online discussions, and setting your own pace of work. Pros are flexibility, the ability to work at your own fast pace, and more comfortable learning styles being supported. Cons include some content not being available online, needing self-discipline as no one makes you attend or complete assignments, and risks of technology problems. It requires self-motivation for self-study without in-person control or attention.
Open Educational Resources: Advantages & DisadvantagesTraci Taylor
Open educational resources (OERs) are teaching and learning materials that can be freely used and reused without permission. OERs are available in the public domain or have an open license allowing reuse as long as the creator is attributed. Examples of OERs include textbooks, courses, images, and videos. OERs provide access to educational resources for free, saving students money while allowing universal access to education. However, the quality of OERs can be harder to determine and concerns exist regarding long-term funding and access to necessary equipment.
The document discusses open educational resources (OER), which are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online. It defines OER and provides 10 key points about them, including that they are free to use and can be altered. The document discusses OER repositories, tools for developing OER, intellectual property issues, and findings from a project on embedding OER in research methods teaching through collaboration.
Tutors considered several key factors when deciding whether to reuse open educational resources for research methods teaching, including interactivity, media richness, feedback, and academic credibility. Both smaller and larger resources had advantages, with smaller resources supporting more autonomous learning but less credibility, and larger resources requiring more work to introduce but being more credible. While context-free resources may be more reusable, tutors would need to do more work setting them in a subject-specific context. The size and level/context specificity of resources influenced how autonomous learners could be as well as the tutor workload.
The document discusses the benefits of online interaction for teaching and learning. It notes that structured online activities with clear tasks and goals can promote higher levels of interaction and engagement among students compared to less structured discussion forums. When activities require students to collaborate to complete authentic tasks, explain their reasoning, and achieve consensus, it supports the development of valuable skills like argumentation, teamwork, and knowledge construction. The document also describes an environmental science course that incorporates structured online conferencing activities to discuss real data collection and simulate international negotiations, providing an example of an interactive online learning design that engages students and enhances their learning experience.

This document proposes 10 innovations in teaching, learning, and assessment:
1. Massive open social learning aims to engage thousands of learners in online discussions and projects to build shared knowledge.
2. Learning design informed by analytics uses data on learner activities to evaluate and improve course design in an iterative process.
3. Flipped classroom moves direct instruction outside the classroom, using class time for activities that develop critical thinking skills.
4. Bring your own devices changes the relationship between students and teachers as students bring their own technologies and learning networks to school.
5. Learning to learn teaches students to become effective, self-determined learners who can manage their own learning processes and reflect on how to improve.
This document provides an overview of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), including its principles and how it can be implemented using technology. UDL is an educational framework based on brain research that provides flexibility in how content is presented, how students demonstrate their knowledge, and student engagement. It aims to address the diverse needs of all learners by incorporating multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement. The document discusses UDL's three principles and potential tools teachers can use, such as the CAST website which contains lesson plans and strategies that follow UDL guidelines.
Open Educational Resources and Practices in EstoniaHans Põldoja
This document provides an overview of open educational resources and practices in Estonia. It discusses key concepts in open education such as MIT OpenCourseWare and Creative Commons licenses. It then outlines several open educational initiatives and repositories in Estonia, including Koolielu, HITSA repository, LeMill, and course materials from various universities. The document also discusses why open educational resources are beneficial for both learners and teachers. It provides examples of open online courses in Estonia and experiments with open assessment using open badges. Overall, the document gives a comprehensive look at the landscape of open educational resources and practices currently available in Estonia.
The Open Learning Initiative (OLI) was created to address limitations of traditional lecture-based education by using technology to enact online instruction differently. OLI courses present expository content and interactive practice problems with immediate feedback, collecting analytics to provide feedback to students, instructors, course designers, and researchers. Evaluation studies have found OLI courses are as or more effective than traditional courses in promoting learning, and students report enjoying the interactive format more than passive lectures.
The document describes ENGAGE, a European project that aims to equip students with skills to actively engage with science. It seeks to help teachers address contemporary science issues and develop lessons using dilemmas that teach science concepts while discussing related societal topics. The project provides an online community for teachers, massive open online courses, and partnerships with scientists. It focuses on inquiry-based learning using curriculum materials that teach skills like evaluating evidence and weighing science and values. The goal is to help students engage with and make informed decisions about emerging science issues.

A Framework For A Cyber Classroom Towards A Human-Centric Virtual ClassroomMichele Thomas
This document describes a project called the Dynamic Education project that aimed to reduce the information gap between on-campus and off-campus students. The project was conducted over three phases: Phase 1 focused on capturing classroom teaching digitally; Phase 2 aimed to increase student interaction; and Phase 3 sought to develop a fully virtual human-centric classroom. Outcomes of Phase 1 showed capturing classroom sessions was time-consuming, and technologies like tablet PCs were most effective for digital note-taking while lecturing. The goal of reducing information inequities between on- and off-campus students guided the project.
Application Of ICTs In Teaching And Learning English (ELT) In Large ClassesAsia Smith
This document discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to teach English in large classes. It describes how multimedia technologies like videos, DVDs, and computer software can be used to facilitate teaching language skills in an interactive way. The document provides examples of how teachers can use technologies like videodiscs to teach literature, powerpoint presentations to teach speaking skills, and multimedia to teach writing skills. By utilizing these ICT tools, the teacher is able to transform the traditional lecture-based classroom into one that is more collaborative and engages students through multimedia content. This allows teachers to still be effective even when faced with the challenges of large class sizes.
Grainne Conole and Terese Bird presented this in a webinar for Open Education Week 2014, on 14th March 2014. The webinar is an activity of the eMundus EU-funded project about virtual mobility and open educational partnerships.
This document discusses barriers to creativity and innovation in education according to interviews with educational stakeholders in several European countries. In England, there is seen to be a gap between policies promoting creativity and actual teaching practices. Teachers feel pressure to teach to tests and lack time, confidence, and training to take risks. In Greece, vagueness exists around what creativity means, and teachers report not knowing how to support or assess it. The document also describes two examples of best practices - one from the Netherlands integrating education and work, and one from Greece giving students tools to explore sound creatively. It concludes that best practices require dedication but have limited systemic impact, and creativity in schools needs a clear pedagogical vision.
This document provides an overview of using social media and online resources in teaching and learning. It introduces tools like Twitter, YouTube, and open educational resources (OER). Twitter can be used to search for discipline-specific keywords, follow education accounts, and find guides for teachers. YouTube contains lectures, demonstrations and talks that can be used to create new lessons or supplement existing ones. OER are openly licensed educational materials like course notes, lectures, and entire online courses that can be reused and adapted for teaching. The document provides examples of OER repositories and encourages reusing and sharing one's own teaching materials as OER to open up education.

Summary of the support framework for opening up education. The full report can be found at: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/publication/eur-scientific-and-technical-research-reports/opening-education-support-framework-higher-education-institutions
This chapter presents intermediate results from the OpenEdu study, carried out by DG JRC IPTS on behalf of DG EAC. It argues that open education goes beyond MOOCs and OER. It demonstrates this by proposing dimensions that are key for an understanding of open education and for the further development of open education by HE institutions in Europe. In addition, results from three of the main studies of OpenEdu are taken to discuss the motivations and barriers for opening up education by HE institutions (OpenCases), the uptake of open education in five European countries (OpenSurvey) and recognition and assessment practices in MOOCs (OpenCred).

This report analyzes practices for assessing and recognizing learning from Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in Europe. It provides examples of how some higher education institutions and employers recognize or do not recognize non-formal learning from MOOCs. The report introduces an "open learning recognition traffic light model" to guide recognition decisions. It finds recognition of MOOC learning is still emerging but identifies factors that support recognition, such as robust assessment and formal credentials. The report concludes with recommendations to strengthen recognition of open and online learning in Europe.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

BUT actually if we consider ourselves as part of the picture it is more that we are supplying one element in a cultural mix
OLnet participated at the conference E-learning Africa 2010 (Lusaka, Zambia), and also paid a visit to Aisha Project School. The goal was to understand how teachers at Aisha have been using OER with the support of UK funded initiatives. There is a mix of ‘chalk and talk’ and the use of technologies to enhance learning at the school, given that the learners have no access to text books. However, the teachers at Aisha have been moving away from chalk and talk and using more enquiry-based learning to teach with OER – indicating that OER can encourage new teaching practices.
OLnet was invited to participate in a number of events in Brazil, involving university executives, educators, researchers and students. The goal was to raise OER awareness and to understand how teachers perceive and use OER in Brazil, particularly content that is available in English. Various workshops and focus-group were ran and OLnet gained further knowledge of the motivations and barriers of using OER cross-culturally.
