Introducing Twitter Chats
“A live chat can take place when all participants
are online at an agreed upon day and time,
using a common hashtag to indicate that
their tweets are part of a unified discussion.”
(Venable & Milligan, 2012)
“One in every 40 scholars is on Twitter, on
average tweeting about five times per week.”
(Titlow, 2011)

Examples in Education
• As an option to, asynchronous threaded
forums within the course LMS.
• Review reading assignments comprehension
and progress.
• Propose solutions to a given problem
scenario.
• Conduct an introductions session.
• Invite a featured guest to answer student
questions.

Before a Live Event
• Participate in another chat
• Create a hashtag (#)
• Decide on a discussion topic
• Develop specific discussion questions
• Announce the time and date
• Recruit an assistant
• Start slowly - run a “test” chat

During a Live Event

Digital Learning Objects

laurawimberley

Digital learning objects (DLOs) are educational resources delivered online that can be used modularly and are reusable. They include presentations, web guides, screencasts, videos, lectures, quizzes and virtual exhibits. As online learning evolves, there will be greater participation from traditional universities, more hybrid courses, and curated open access DLOs that use mixed media. The future may also include gamified DLOs, integration of digital humanities tools like text mining and GIS, and students creating knowledge through DLOs.

TNT Webinar: Creating and Using Digital Learning Objects for Library Instruction

nclatechandtrends

This document discusses creating and using digital learning objects for library instruction. It begins by explaining the limitations of one-shot instruction sessions and how online instruction offers possibilities to extend learning beyond the classroom. Digital learning objects like online learning modules can help by focusing on higher-level concepts and engaging students outside of class. The document then provides examples of digital learning objects like videos and tutorials. It also discusses best practices for designing online learning modules using software like Adobe Captivate, including clearly stating objectives and dividing content into interactive units.

Social Media in the Classroom

It demonstrates several websites that teachers can use to find educational materials like abcteach.com, internet4classrooms, and teachnology. 3. The document also reviews how substitute teachers can access the school district's instructional management system for student information and online curriculum without needing login credentials.

This document compares the online learning platforms Flinnt and Coursera. It finds that Flinnt offers both free and paid courses from school through postgraduate levels with no time limits, while Coursera primarily offers free MOOCs from universities on topics like science and business with strict timeframes. Coursera provides more authentic course materials, evaluation through peer-reviewed assignments, and certificates of completion, while Flinnt allows more flexibility but has fewer learning tools and resources. Based on the analysis, Coursera offers a richer online learning experience but Flinnt may be better for basic practice and self-paced learning.

OER Through the eyes of a novice

BeverlyHayes7

Open Education Resources (OER) provide many free educational benefits but also present some challenges. OER offer free college lectures, tutorials, and peer evaluations of course materials from around the world. However, some students may find it difficult to navigate the large amount of information or lack consistent access to a computer and internet, which are needed to use OER. Additionally, not all students are aware that OER exist or comfortable asking for help using them. While OER remove economic barriers to education, access and digital navigation remain challenges for some.

Taking eBook Readers to Prisons: A Tale of Two Projects

Helen Farley

This paper reports on a project that was first introduced to World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning attendees in 2012, the PLEIADES project (Portable Learning Environments for Incarcerated Adult Distance Education Students) and discusses how this project evolved into two separate projects; one each from the two technologies originally trialled. PLEIADES introduced a version of an internet-independent version of the Learning Management System (LMS) called Stand Alone Moodle (SAM) and eBook readers to incarcerated students in a correctional centre in Southern Queensland. The Triple ‘E’ Project (Empowerment, E-Learning and E-Readers) using eBook readers similar to those trialled in the PLEIADES project, were rolled out to a further four correctional centres. This paper explores the issues and challenges involved with deploying eBook readers to incarcerated students through the PLEIADES and Triple ‘E’ projects.

Blended learning for schools in ecuador

Jacqueline Espinoza

This document discusses a proposed blended learning model for schools in Ecuador to address issues with the traditional "teacher-centered" approach. It identifies problems such as learner frustration and lack of interaction/support. The proposed model incorporates both online and classroom learning using tools like WordPress/blogs for quizzes, audio, games and forums. It is based on social constructivism and having learners practice and reinforce content with teacher guidance and collaborative work. Challenges include lack of devices, student preparedness, and time demands on teachers. The model aims to make learning more active, collaborative and supported through both online and in-person environments.

Mobile Learning Trends among Students in Vietnam

Helen Farley

Mobile learning has the potential to expand access to education in developing countries. Little is known about the preferences of students in some Asian countries such as Vietnam. Some of these countries have restricted internet access and may be subject to internet censorship. A study was conducted with forty-four Masters students in Vietnam to identify informal mobile learning trends. Results indicate that although rates of ownership of mobile technologies are still low in comparison to many other countries, students do use these devices to support their studies. A third of students had access to a tablet computer, smartphone or MP3 player and many students had access to more than one device. Most students used Wi-Fi and considered internet quality to be moderate or fair. Access to high quality internet and the impact of internet censorship needs to be taken into account when developing mobile learning content for students in Vietnam.

Facebook and twitter for learning and teaching

rvallance

The document discusses using Facebook and Twitter for learning and teaching. It provides an overview of each platform, why they might be used for education, key benefits, and issues to consider. Examples are given of how Twitter could be used to inform students, encourage participation, arrange discussions, and provide revision exercises. For Facebook, examples are given of using a private group for students to share course-related information and using language settings to encourage communication in a specific language.

National Information Standards Organization (NISO)

Reggie Cobb has taught biology online since 2001 and has incorporated interactive e-textbooks into his courses using Cengage Learning's MindTap platform. He hypothesizes that an interactive e-text will promote student success by guiding students through course content in a structured "learning path", reducing distractions. Cobb creates a learning path in MindTap that embeds the e-textbook and divides it into small sections, and personalizes it by adding multimedia. Based on student performance data, Cobb believes the interactive e-text has promoted learning, though other factors may have also contributed to improved grades. Further refinement of the learning path is ongoing to fully realize the benefits of the interactive e-textbook approach.

Campus-Wide Response to Captioning: Moving Towards Full Compliance

Patrick Loftus

When it comes to video captioning in higher ed, one of the biggest questions on campus is, "Who’s going to own this?" Is it the Disability Resource Center, the department creating or hosting the media, or the institution? At the University of Arizona (UA), the answer is: All the above. UA is moving towards a fully captioned campus through a prioritization approach. During this webinar, you'll learn how UA approaches captioning and the criteria used to determine allocation of funds for video captioning. Additionally, discover how successfully building trust and working closely with key personnel across campus units increases access to captioned media. Options for developing processes to ensure media are created accessibly across your campus will also be discussed. Topics this session will cover include: How UA approaches captioning and the criteria used to determine allocation of funds for captioning How successfully building trust and working closely with key personnel across campus increases access Options for developing processes to ensure media is created accessibly across campus

Youngstown session 2 online learning

Charlotte McCorquodale

Here are the key aspects of perceiving and processing according to the 4-MAT system: Perceiving: - Sensing/Feeling: Taking in information directly through the senses and feelings - Thinking: Thinking about and conceptualizing experiences in a more abstract, logical way Processing: - Reflecting: Reflecting on and integrating new information or experiences - Acting: Taking action and applying new learning in practical, hands-on ways The 4-MAT system proposes that all learners cycle through these four stages - sensing/feeling, thinking, reflecting, and acting - to fully learn and internalize new information. By addressing each of the four stages, instruction can be designed to engage all

4. Introducing Twitter Chats “A live chat can take place when all participants are online at an agreed upon day and time, using a common hashtag to indicate that their tweets are part of a unified discussion.” (Venable & Milligan, 2012) “One in every 40 scholars is on Twitter, on average tweeting about five times per week.” (Titlow, 2011)

6. Examples in Education • As an option to, asynchronous threaded forums within the course LMS. • Review reading assignments comprehension and progress. • Propose solutions to a given problem scenario. • Conduct an introductions session. • Invite a featured guest to answer student questions.

7. Before a Live Event • Participate in another chat • Create a hashtag (#) • Decide on a discussion topic • Develop specific discussion questions • Announce the time and date • Recruit an assistant • Start slowly - run a “test” chat

8. During a Live Event • Get the session started • Facilitate conversation • Manage the logistics and your time • Conclude the session
