Trends in digital learning that improve resultsSprout Labs
Learning technologies have a huge amount of promise for improving learning outcomes. Unfortunately, eLearning has become associated with self-paced linear modules that are often slide-based information dumps with a quiz at the end. The focus of using digital learning is often just on saving money and not on improving business results. During this interactive webinar we will explore trends in digital learning that are re-focusing digital learning on improving performance.
In the interaction session we explored:
- digital learning and the 70-20-10 learning model
- re-thinking compliance training
- new approaches to authoring digital learning
- the application of design thinking to learning
- emerging trends in tracking and recording.
2016 TeachConnect presentation for QUT teachersnickkelly
QUT TeachConnect Presentation, August 26th, 2016.
This presentation gives a rationale for TeachConnect and its value for preservice teachers in creating a personal learning network.
Instructions for logging on to TeachConnect are included: http://www.teachconnect.edu.au
Presenters: Nick Kelly and Steven Kickbusch
Lecturer: Peter O'Brien
Location: QUT, Kelvin Grove
This is a handout for the workshop "Open Education for Collaboration, Flexibility, and Global Visibility", which I gave at University of Nairobi on August 27, 2013. All of the materials for the workshop are available at http://openmi.ch/uon-aug2013.
In a world where knowing how to learn and monitor your own learning is more important than just knowing the facts, education and training is gravitating to more learning-centred approaches. Learning-centred environments support learners to not only have input into what is they need to learn, but they also help them determine how their work should be monitored and evaluated. In learning-centred practice, the monitoring of learner progress is no longer the sole responsibility of the teacher, but that of learner, their peers and their mentors through the use of online personal learning spaces or eportfolios (Brown, Chen & Gordon, 2012).
Our approach to blended learning, the Chrysalis Way.

Making Groups Work: Practical Strategies for Accountability and Engagement - ...Andrea Stone
When students hear about group work, they often groan. Multiply that by the challenges presented in an online learning environment, and sometimes even the professors groan! With online course quality measures that recommend student interaction and group activities and calls to create classrooms that encourage collaboration and critical thinking, faculty need to find new ways to conquer group work dilemmas. This session offers practical strategies for facilitation of group work, both online and in-class. The session will include innovative ways to select students for group membership, techniques for management and accountability, and suggestions for group assignments. Participants will be encouraged to share their own tips and strategies for facilitating successful group assignments.

Are you being asked to do STEM activities in your classes and workshops and have no idea where to start or have little to no budget? STEM education refers to teaching and learning, mostly hands-on, in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Integrating STEM activities in any discipline teaches how all things relate to each other, in school and in life. As a result, librarians, media specialists, and teachers are being asked to incorporate STEM learning activities into their curriculum, regardless of the subject matter, and many of these educators are unsure how to proceed. There are several ways to mix engaging STEM activities into your library programs and curriculum and this webinar will touch on the following and more to help you demystify STEM:
- Understand the importance of STEM education.
- Practice the four Cs of learning: collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity.
- Collect best practices to create good and inexpensive (many free) STEM lessons.
- Teach 21st Century skills without technology.
- Learn strategies (e.g., productive struggle) to creatively solve real-world problems.
- Assess the success of your activities.

From Blackboard to Brightspace: developing online learning spaces to foster increased student engagement and deeper learning
Presented by Dan Robinson, Will Moindrot and Alex Spiers
Since 1898, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine has provided world-leading research and education in health and tropical medicine. But our journey has only just begun. After LSTM was awarded Higher Education Institute status in 2013 a period of extensive institutional change has taken place.
It was during this period of change that LSTM undertook an ambitious project of implementing a full suite of new tools to support learning and teaching, at the core of which was a new VLE ‘Brightspace’. This presented challenges but also opportunities to design and shape the learning environment to the needs of our diverse students and exploit new techniques to develop regular engagement leading to deeper learning.
This presentation will demonstrate how the selection, design and delivery of technologies have nurtured an enhanced learning experience for staff and students at the school.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
