The document discusses open educational practices and some challenges to their widespread adoption. It notes a lack of evidence that open educational resources and MOOCs have transformed education despite funding and rhetoric. It advocates for more open design, delivery, scholarship, research, and practices. This would involve reflective design approaches, sharing course materials, open online courses, and community-driven scholarship. Key questions are around how institutions can systematically adopt open practices and ensure research informs policy and implementation. Next steps proposed include developing open communities, case studies, and a manifesto on open educational practices.

Learning Technologies Anytime Anywhere Haggard For Video Arts 4 March 09

Stephen Haggard

The document discusses opportunities for innovation in anytime, anywhere learning. It notes that organizations are increasingly spending on e-learning and that learners prefer personal motivation over being mandated to learn. Learners also arrive from search engines and search by topic rather than being actual learners. The document examines learner preferences for different types of continuing professional development and discusses challenges of the "anywhere anytime paradox". It also explores how to effectively structure learning communities and networks to engage different generations of learners.

IL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)

The document discusses information literacy at Box Hill School. It outlines how information literacy is taught to students in all year groups through subjects like PHSE and how it focuses on learning what teachers want, effective research and writing skills. Case studies are used and information literacy grows more advanced from key stages 3 to 6, culminating in support for the International Baccalaureate Diploma extended essay. A whole school approach with endorsement from school leadership and collaboration between teachers contributes to the program's success.

This document discusses providing feedback to students in online courses to engage them and motivate their learning. It outlines various tools that can be used for online feedback, including discussion forums, learning journals, podcasts, screencasts, and interactive tools like Kaizena. Kaizena allows instructors to record audio and text comments directly onto students' work and supports tracking changes. Students found the personalized audio feedback from Kaizena to be helpful for improving their writing and learning. The document advocates balancing corrective feedback with higher-order concerns to guide students' development and avoid overfocusing on errors.

Learning Transfer: Does it take place in MOOCs

Daniel Davis

This document investigates whether learning transfer occurs after completing a MOOC on functional programming. The researchers analyzed data from 37,485 learners who completed the FP101x course on Haskell, including logs from GitHub to study coding activities. They found learning transfer occurred at a rate of 8.5% and was more likely for learners who were intrinsically motivated, had high self-efficacy, or prior programming experience. Expert learners who actively used GitHub did not change their functional coding habits after the course. The researchers concluded that while transfer rates were low, learners quickly applied what they learned to industrially-relevant languages on GitHub after completing the course.

This document discusses the design and benefits of performance assessment tasks. It notes that performance tasks assess students' skills in three dimensions rather than just right/wrong answers. They pose authentic, real-world problems and allow for creative solutions. An example math task about water resources engages students in a compelling problem and uses math to understand an issue. Effective tasks give students choice, involve authentic work, and present work to a real audience outside of just the teacher.

ACS Athens

This study examined teachers' perceptions of using video reflections compared to text-based reflections in online graduate classes. 84 pre-service and in-service teachers enrolled in human development courses produced both written and video reflections as part of their coursework. A survey found that students found video reflections more challenging to produce due to technical skills and comfort speaking on camera, though they provided advantages like seeing others and increased personalization. While students reported gaining technical skills, they still preferred written reflections overall. The study concluded that more exposure and practice with video reflections was needed to fully understand students' perceptions.

This document summarizes Russell Stannard's presentation on using screen capture technology to provide feedback to students. Some key points: - Screen capture feedback can be more personal, engaging, and clear for students compared to written comments alone. It allows instructors to provide feedback in a chatty, dialogic style. - Students report that video feedback makes them feel closer to their teacher and helps establish an important teacher presence in online and blended courses. - Recent research has explored how screen capture feedback improves language learning outcomes and student satisfaction across a variety of courses. - Screen capture technology is now widely used in online education and for flipped classroom models to provide video lectures, feedback and interactive learning content.

Addressing and Implementing Effective Methods for Online Teaching and Training

Allison Selby

http://alliselby.edublogs.org/ Presenting different methodologies we use for addressing and implementing effective methods for online teaching and training. Our goal is really to create significant learning experiences for our students and we want to keep them engaged in learning the material. We want to create a high energy environment for learning in the course room and allow our students to consider how these concepts that we are presenting to them in the course can be applied to their professional and personal environments. The Web 2.0 tools encourages to students to share information and knowledge within the course. This builds community, team skills, peer interactions. As students become validated by their peers and share knowledge and information, it increases their self-concept. Web 2.0 content generated by our students and faculty include welcome videos, project and feedback assessment, demonstrations, and student presentations for both end of term projects and client presentations.

UKSG 2024 From algorithms to empowerment by Christina Dinh Nguyen.pdf

UKSG: connecting the knowledge community

Christina Dinh Nguyen, University of Toronto Mississauga Library In the world of digital literacies, liaison and instructional librarians are increasingly coming to terms with a new term: algorithmic literacy. No matter the liaison or instruction subjects – computer science, sociology, language and literature, chemistry, physics, economics, or other – students are grappling with assignments that demand a critical understanding, or even use, of algorithms. Over the course of this session, we’ll discuss the term ‘algorithmic literacies,’ explore how it fits into other digital literacies, and see why it as a curriculum might belong at your library. We’ll also look at some examples of practical pedagogical methods you can implement right away, depending on what types of AL lessons you want to teach, and who your patrons are. Lastly, we’ll discuss how librarians should view themselves as co-learners when working with AL skills. This session seeks to bring together participants from across the different libraries, with diverse missions/vision/mandates, to explore ways we can all benefit from teaching AL. If time permits, we may discuss how text and data librarians (functional specialists) can support the development of this curriculum.
