My keynote presentation to the AADES conference in Melbourne 2013.
Abstract: What does learning look like in a world that is increasingly networked? How can we harness the ever-increasing range of online technologies to support effective learning? What are the implications for teachers, for students, and for the wider community? And what are the implications for distance education providers as the boundaries blur between them and traditional face-to-face providers?
In this keynote address Derek will explore current trends in education and how these are re-shaping how we think about schooling, teaching and the role of learners. He will provide insights into how we need to respond these questions in order to meet the challenges of learning in a networked world.

Slides of paper presented at 1st International Conference on the use of iPads in Higher Education, Paphos, Cyprus, March 2014. paper by W.B. Whalley, D. France, J.R. Park, A. Mauchline, K. Welsh and V. Powell
Abstract
We report on use of iPads (and other IOS devices) for student fieldwork use and as electronic field notebooks. We have used questionnaires and interviews of tutors and students to elicit their views on technology and iPad use for fieldwork. There is some reluctance for academic staff to relinquish paper notebooks for iPad use, whether
in the classroom or on fieldwork. Students too are largely unaware of the potential of iPads for enhancing fieldwork. Apps can be configured for a wide variety of specific uses that make iPads useful for educational as well as social uses. Such abilities should be used to enhance existing practice as well as make new functionality. For example, for disabled students who find it difficult to use conventional note taking iPads can be used to develop student self-directed learning and for group contributions. The technology becomes part of the students’ personal learning environments as well as at the heart of their knowledge spaces – academic and social. This blurring of boundaries is due to iPads’ usability to cultivate field use, instruction, assessment and feedback processes. iPads can become field microscopes and entries to citizen science, and we see the iPad as the main ‘computing’ device for students in the near future. As part of Bring Your Own Technology/Device the iPad has much to offer, although both staff and students need to be guided in the most effective use for self-directed education via development of personal learning Environments.
These slides are used in the iPads in Educatiion seminar. It is begins with the Padagogy Wheel then selects a number of Apps to introduce in each of the cognitive domain categories, These seminars were first run in 2010.
Blended learning: Introducing Challenge Based LearningAllan Carrington
This presentation was given as a keynote presentation at an elearning conference in Brisbane Queensland in 2009. It introduced participants to the pedagogical approach of Challenge Based Learning (CBL)
Information for teachers who are new to online. Features tips and best practices as well as useful links and videos. Information based on recent literature.
This is my contribution the Think Pieces 2013 Project at Charles Sturt University. This project provides an opportunity for an ongoing, open dialogue about how some of the CSU community are thinking about the challenges and opportunities we face as an institution.
My talk is about the need to shift the context in which we view learning - away from the campus and to be come more student centred. This reframing and changing of perspective allows us to rethink the role of the university and as well how we think about pedagogy, practice, content and technology.
This presentation on interactive open educational resources was given by Jim Grenier and Peter Shea at Go Open meeting for Massachusetts community colleges on June 6th, 2016.

Normal Schools are entrusted with setting the norm for teaching practices – so what does this mean as we face the imperative to adapt our education system to a future filled with disruption and uncertainty?
By learning from the past, envisioning the future, and embracing the challenges of today, we can create an education system that empowers young minds to thrive in a world of constant change.
This keynote will explore the transformative journey towards preparing young people for the challenges and opportunities ahead while equipping teachers to navigate this ever-evolving landscape.

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

Typical floor plates
At first all people could ‘imagine’ was dividing the space
into 6 ‘classrooms on each floor with the most imaginative
suggestion being ‘concertina’ doors between some of the
spaces so they could open up!
HOW CAN WE DESIGN AFRESH??
Designing rather than planning:
The Dandenong High School design approach turned the process inside out –
we realised that of we started with floor plates all we could see was what we
knew, and all we were going to get was what we’d always had – bar a few minor
tweaks.
BREAKING MENTAL MODELS – start in a different place!
KEY QUESTIONS:
What are all the different learning activities we want to be able to take
place in this total space?
DESIGN a ‘LEARNING SETTING’ to support the sort of learning
activities you want. Be prepared to question and interrogate your
designs.
• How large do the learning settings have to be?
• How many of each type of learning setting do we need
simultaneously?
• How do we relate the settings to each other to provide seamless flow,
to accommodate noise factors, to provide flexibility and ease of re-
configurability?
