It offers associate degrees in business administration and computer science to qualified students worldwide. Students only pay modest application and exam fees. UoPeople uses open educational resources and volunteers to keep costs low so it can provide education opportunities to those who otherwise could not afford it. In less than three years, UoPeople has over 1,100 students from 115 countries and is building a sustainable model to potentially impact hundreds of thousands through affordable, accessible online education.
Common goals, uncommon settings
This document summarizes a study that investigated the impact of physical and academic environment on student and teacher attitudes towards teaching and learning English for communication in Pakistan. Surveys were conducted with 720 students and interviews with 12 teachers from a university and two affiliated colleges. The results showed significant differences in student attitudes based on environment, with university students demonstrating better attitudes than college students. University teachers' teaching strategies also aligned more closely with communicative language teaching approaches compared to college teachers. The document discusses relevant prior research and the methodology used in the study.

Stegmann. the social benefits. (1)
1. The document discusses the social benefits of online education based on case studies and international experiences. It finds that online education improves access to education, especially for remote and lower-income populations. It allows for lower-cost, higher-quality education and promotes knowledge creation, research, and international collaboration.
2. A case study of UNAD Colombia finds that its online programs have increased access to education, supported underprivileged groups, improved research output, and fostered internationalization. International case studies show online education promoting inclusion, education quality, and economic and social development across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and other regions.
3. The conceptual framework discusses how education quality impacts economic growth and development. It finds

Presentation about the intersection of two current major trends- inequality and online higher education.
Expanding the Reach of Internationalization
The document discusses the changing landscape of higher education and the rise of the globally connected learner. It notes the growing number of online users and searchers and how this is shaping expectations for more flexible, untethered education available anywhere. It also examines Massey University's strategy to expand access to education through online and distance learning programs in order to meet rising global demand for higher education.

Liberal Education & Civic Capacity: We Are Only Half-Way There
This document summarizes research on students' civic learning in college. It finds that according to a national survey, less than half of students reported gains in understanding people from other backgrounds, developing personal values and ethics, contributing to their community, or participating in community projects related to courses. Additionally, the percentage of students who agreed their campus helped them expand awareness of civic involvement declined each year of college. However, the percentage who agreed their ability to consider diverse perspectives increased with time in college. The document concludes that while many students develop civic skills, too many do not, and more work is needed by educational institutions to prepare students for civic participation and a democratic society.
Team Assign #1: Resource Review
The document discusses several organizations that support lifelong learning. The Coalition of Lifelong Learning Organizations (COLLO) brings together leaders of adult education to exchange information and collaborate. Other groups discussed include the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, National Institute of Adult Continuing Education, UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning, and Council for Adult and Experiential Learning. Each organization works to promote opportunities for lifelong learning and its benefits.
The Economic Case for Liberal Education
There is increasing demand from employers for college graduates with higher levels of learning and skills beyond just knowledge in a specific field, including skills like critical thinking, complex problem solving, communication and collaboration. Employers prioritize hiring candidates who can contribute to innovation in the workplace through these types of skills. Data also shows higher earnings potential and career success for those with broader skillsets associated with a liberal education, including skills like writing, reasoning and social/interpersonal skills. A liberal education approach to college that combines broad and field-specific knowledge with the development of transferable skills is recommended.

Education Powerpoint by Barbie Alex and Sherry
Universal education is a global issue that affects the world in several ways. Lack of education perpetuates cycles of poverty and limits opportunities for economic and social advancement. While resources exist to provide universal primary education, millions of children still lack access to schools. Several international organizations work to promote education access, but more efforts are needed. This document proposes using a field trip to a local school in Shanghai, China as an opportunity to raise awareness and funds to support universal education goals.

Developing world MOOCs: A curriculum view of the MOOC landscape in Journal of...Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT), University of Cape Town
MOOCs offer opportunities but are also pose the danger of further exacerbating existing educational divisions and deepening the homogeneity of global knowledge systems. Like many universities globally, South African university leaders and those responsible for course, curriculum, and learning technology development are coming to grips with the implications and possibilities of online and open education for their own institutions. What opportunities do they offer to universities, especially from the point of view of research-focused campus-based institutions which have not yet
engaged with MOOCs and have little history with online courses? Given the complexities of the MOOC-scape, this paper provides a means for contextualising the
options within an institutional landscape of educational provision as possibilities for MOOC creation, use and adaptation.Open, digital and public: Toward a scholarship of refusal
This document discusses the concept of scholarship and proposes a "scholarship of refusal". It begins by examining how the identity of a scholar has changed in the digital age and become tied to metrics like citations and h-indexes. It notes increasing commercialization and attacks on science.
It then discusses Boyer's model of scholarship, including research, integration, application, and teaching. It argues these need reexamining given digital technologies and unequal access. A "scholarship of refusal" is proposed, refusing current systems and focusing on openness. It outlines taking teaching public through open educational resources. Overall, the document calls for rethinking scholarship in a way that is more inclusive, public, and resistant to current quantification systems.

Learning at the back door? (Re)considering the role of open and distance lear...University of South Africa (Unisa)
This document summarizes Paul Prinsloo's presentation on reconsidering the role of open and distance learning. It discusses how distance education has historically provided access to education through "back doors" for those who faced barriers. It also addresses the tension between ensuring quality, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness in open and distance education. The presentation reflects on how distance education can pursue its revolutionary ideals of broadening access and breaking down barriers in the digital age.Utrecht sa- parallel workshops list
This workshop will discuss the impact and future of the Bologna Process beyond 2010 and Europe. Participants from European and non-European higher education institutions will discuss how the Bologna Process has changed higher education systems inside and outside of Europe. They will consider whether the Bologna Process can be "exported" as a brand and examine initiatives in other regions to integrate higher education. The impact on student and faculty mobility, internationalization policies, and the research front will also be addressed.

This paper explores a sample of data collected from a UNICEF Eastern Caribbean rapid assessment on teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in eight countries. The primary investigation method was mixed and captured data from key participants/stakeholders in education using CAPI Technology and Video Conferencing tools. Statistical analyses and qualitative thematic analysis were conducted to report on findings using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and Nvivo Qualitative Software. The data on online teaching and learning from Barbados was selected for further review and presented an opportunity to assess the Barbadian experience against other developing and developed countries. In assessing these perceptions in a sample of primary and secondary schools, stakeholders were generally dissatisfied with the online and blended learning modalities citing challenges relating to the equality and equity in access to devices and the enabling environment that facilities effective online teaching and learning.

Hype vs. Reality: The AI Explainer
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving Cars
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Higher education can develop skills for the knowledge economy by embracing open and distance learning strategies in this more digital world. Demands from students and system failures like high dropout rates show a need for more flexible options. Open distance learning has seen rapid growth through disruptive online initiatives and can now be facilitated through new technologies. This impacts education through the "knowledge triangle" of open access, research-based teaching, and innovation. However, governments, universities, and other institutions must address challenges like optimal policies, building competencies, and partnerships to fully harvest the benefits.

The theme chosen for the Conference is “Mobilizing Distance Education for Social Justice and Innovation”, that is to say, contributing to mobilize Distance Education in its many modalities and forms, to build and transfer knowledge aimed at achieving valuable goals for societies that defend innovation and social justice.
The conference thus addresses one of the current priorities of international bodies such as the UNESCO’s “Education for All”, the OEI’s “Educational Goals XXI” and the European Union’s “Horizon Program 2020”, all of them geared to innovating to achieve intelligent, safe and inclusive societies.

Rethinking education. Towards a global common good? UNESCO
2015. What education do we need for the 21st century? What is the purpose of education
in the current context of societal transformation? How should learning be organized?
These questions inspired the ideas presented in this publication.
In the spirit of two landmark UNESCO publications, Learning to Be: The world of
education today and tomorrow (1972), the ‘Faure Report’, and Learning: The treasure
within (1996), the ‘Delors Report,’ I am convinced we need to think big again today
about education
Carl Holmberg, International Trends and Perspectives
This document summarizes international trends in open and distance education based on a report by Dr. Carl Holmberg of the International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE). It finds that open and distance education is growing rapidly due to increasing demand for access to education. While open universities have expanded opportunities, quality assurance and accountability are increasingly important. Information and communication technologies are also changing education but digital divides remain. The document outlines trends like massification, diversification of providers, and changing learner demographics. It discusses challenges and calls to action to better integrate technologies, widen access, and strengthen teacher education through open and distance learning.
Institutional strategies in the digital learning age
What issues and possible pathways for higher education institutions to consider when moving faster into the digital age? Do you want to be a forerunner in opening up education or don´t you care? Increased cooperation or more competition? Can you pay your way to quality education? MOOCing your way or will that lead you to the parking slot? Could you let your faculty lead? To change on the ground is different from changing the slides. 5 executives took their positions at EDUCA 2013.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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
9
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.
