El racismo es una ideología basada en la creencia de la superioridad de ciertas razas sobre otras. Históricamente se ha usado para justificar crímenes como la esclavitud, el colonialismo y el genocidio. Aunque el concepto de raza es una construcción social, el racismo sigue siendo ilegal y condenado internacionalmente por violar los derechos humanos.

This document provides a guide for implementing technology to drive change in K-12 education. It contains 12 chapters that cover topics such as understanding technology's role in learning, planning for e-learning initiatives, establishing supportive policies and procedures, providing effective leadership, developing teachers' skills, integrating digital content into the curriculum, managing classrooms, assessing instruction, building infrastructure, financing programs, evaluating results, and creating a sustainable model for the future. The overall goal is to transform schools by making them more learner-centric, personalized, engaging, and equipped to develop students' universal skills through the strategic use of technology.
The document discusses an English language and virtual learning program for high school students in Cimitarra, Santander, Colombia implemented through the National Open and Distance University of Colombia (UNAD). The program combines synchronous and asynchronous online and distance learning elements. It effectively incorporates eight transition categories and criteria for student control, internet resources, and web communication. However, the program faces some challenges related to the rural technological infrastructure and need to better balance task complexity and timelines. There is also a need to broaden cultural content to access a global learner community.
The document discusses the Fort Hays State University Red Balloon Project, which is an initiative to transform teaching and learning at the institutional level in response to the "unwinding" of higher education. The project focuses on blended learning, collaborative learning, and using new technologies and open resources to support collaborative knowledge creation. It aims to incentivize learning and outcomes through exploring innovative approaches like flipped classrooms and reimagining course development and academic strategies. The Red Balloon Project is a metaphor for how knowledge can be created, aggregated, and disseminated in new ways through collaborative problem solving.
A critical analysis of the narrative of technology enabled flexible learning ...Dr Morag Munro
Contemporary discourse pertaining to Higher Education (HE) is littered with references to the apparent need to enhance the 'flexibility' of the system, to the extent that flexibility is charged with meeting "many if not all of the alleged shortcomings in and challenges facing higher education" (Barnett 2014: 32). In particular, Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) is frequently portrayed as a silver bullet for enabling flexible participation in HE (Selwyn 2011). Yet despite its depiction as unproblematic and self-evidently positive, the discourse of technology-enabled flexible learning is by no means concrete, uniform or inherently favourable (Harris 2011; Barnett 2014). Indeed, injudicious use has rendered flexibility an example of what Laclau (2004) refers to as an "empty signifier". Thus while they may have become ubiquitous in discourse surrounding HE, narratives such as 'flexibility', 'flexible learning', 'flexible progarmmes' and 'flexible participation' merit critical analysis.
Institutional strategies play a crucial role in framing local culture and guiding day-to-day activities in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) (Hinton 2012). The current paper draws on some of the findings of a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of the most recently available institutional strategies published by Universities and Institutes of Technology in the Republic of Ireland. The study employed thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke 2006) as a means to identify and refine recurring themes across a corpus of twenty-one strategy texts. A key narrative identified in this work was the emphasis across the strategies on TEL as a means to enable flexible participation in HE. In this paper, I subject this theme to "Ideology critique" (Held 1980). I first trace the discourse of flexibility in HE back to shifts from Fordist, towards more flexible Post-Fordist methods of production, and to conceptions of flexibility as a means of workforce “flexploitation” (Bourdieu 1998). I then discuss how these economic discourses have migrated to HE, and have contributed to the claimed 'demand' for flexible learning opportunities. I also explore how variances in perspectives on the nature and form of flexibility may result in a disconnect between the rhetoric of flexibility, and flexibility as experienced in practice (Selwyn 2011). I conclude the paper by reflecting on what policy-makers and practitioners working in the Irish HE sector might take from this work.
The document outlines a school district's vision and strategic plan to empower students for opportunities in the global workforce through the use of technology. The district aims to provide a 1:1 computing environment for students and teachers. It also wants to establish schools and libraries as community learning hubs that offer public wireless access and professional development. The strategic plan encourages project-based and problem-based learning using digital media to extend learning beyond the traditional school day.
The document discusses building innovative societies through education with a focus on the Caribbean perspective. It examines the role of distance education and partnerships in building innovative Caribbean societies. Distance education provided by the University of the West Indies Open Campus aims to improve access to education across its 12 campus countries. Partnerships between the UWI Open Campus and Canadian universities could help address challenges like skills development, capacity building, and quality assurance in supporting innovative Caribbean societies.
This document discusses the impact of technological changes on student affairs administration. It notes that while higher education has lagged in adopting technology compared to other sectors, external pressures and the need to compete are now compelling colleges to integrate more technological tools. This is transforming the traditional campus-based model of student affairs to a more learner-based model. The document outlines both benefits and potential downsides of increased technology use, such as less face-to-face interaction and a risk of creating a digital divide. It concludes by posing questions student affairs professionals must address to thoughtfully guide technological changes.

This document discusses the transition from 20th century classrooms to 21st century learning networks. It emphasizes that learning is now individualized, personalized, continuous and global. It also notes that the amount of available "textbooks" has grown exponentially to 2 quintillion. The document outlines some of the fundamental differences between 20th century and 21st century assumptions about teaching and learning, including that teachers are now part of large networks and students will learn to learn without teachers. It argues this represents a revolutionary shift that provides opportunities for transformation in schools.
This document discusses research on the use of technology in schools. It notes that while technology holds potential to improve learning, advocates have overpromised its ability to extract learning returns on investments. Research now shows technology can boost learning when used effectively aligned with content and teaching principles, but schools have struggled to realize this potential at scale. The document examines past miscalculations and calls for focusing technology investments on solutions addressing critical challenges like improving adolescent literacy.
The document summarizes the evolution of flexible learning pedagogy from behavioral/cognitive approaches, to constructivist approaches, to emerging connectivist approaches. It discusses how each generation of pedagogy has been influenced by technological changes. It argues that behavioral/cognitive approaches may be reaching an economic and pedagogical dead end, while constructivist approaches work well for cohort groups. However, connectivist approaches and tools that leverage online networks show promise as the future of higher education and lifelong learning.
The document discusses the need for Fort Hays State University (FHSU) to adapt to emerging technologies and changing student needs through the "Next Generation Faculty" initiative and Red Balloon Project. It outlines reasons why the current environment facing higher education requires transformation, including the Internet, cloud computing, social media, different student generations, and new job skills. The Red Balloon Project aims to shift paradigms around knowledge creation and dissemination through collaborative learning models. The initiative involves redesigning courses, programs, faculty roles and the campus experience to prepare for the future of higher education.
Leaders and partners: strategic positioning for transformative services - Wen...CONUL Conference
Librarians are well-positioned to take on leadership roles and partner with other university departments due to their expertise in areas like data management, curation, and ensuring inclusive and ethical use of information.

SUCCESSFUL TACTICS: FOUR SUGGESTIONS
34
▸ Build unique, temporary teams, suited to specific ends.
▸ Think of yourself as an “Executive Producer”, rather than Professor. Assemble the
perfect team. Build. Repeat.
▸ Pick your spots.
▸ Focus on small, focussed instructional materials, not entire courses. For example,
consider creating an instructional version of your current research?
▸ Pilot, test, and conduct research.
▸ Commit to university research objectives and standards by measuring project impact.
▸ Don’t be shy.
▸ Reputation is a form of currency in the university sector. Think about who would benefit
from your effort. e.g. University marketing? Fundraising? Your academic department?
