The document discusses using WebQuests to help 5th grade students at Hiawatha Elementary School who struggle in social studies classes that use traditional instructional methods. It proposes that a WebQuest could prompt higher-order thinking and help students learn critically by engaging them in transforming knowledge to make it their own. The study will compare student test scores after one unit is taught traditionally and one with a WebQuest, analyzing the results with statistical tests. Findings may show that technological exposure or learning style impacts student success with the WebQuest approach.

Data Driven Instrruction
1. The document discusses the history and evolution of data-driven instruction in education. It traces how educators shifted from relying solely on annual test scores and adherence to methods/materials to using real-time data to modify instruction.
2. Both advantages and disadvantages of data-driven instruction are presented. The advantages include using data to provide feedback, prevent over-reliance on standardized tests, and allow schools to be more responsive. Potential disadvantages include misuse of data, teaching to tests, and lack of flexibility.
3. The future of data-driven instruction is depicted as embracing interim assessments and using data in real-time to diagnose student and teacher performance and target interventions accordingly. Administrative use of data for monitoring and accountability

In the UK, the introduction of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) has increased interest in
appropriate and valid measurement approaches of learning gains in Higher Education. Learning gains
are defined as growth or change in knowledge, skills, and abilities of learners over time. While the UK
government and other organisations like HEFCE expect tremendous opportunities for learning gains
to “objectively” measure the value added of higher education across institutions, empirical evidence of
the robustness, reliability, and validity of learning gains literature outside the UK is mixed. At SRHE,
we will discuss the affordances, lived experiences, and limitations of using different measurements,
conceptualisations, and methodologies of learning gains. We aim to set an evidence-based agenda of
how HEIs can effectively start to measure and implement notions of learning gains, while at the same
time discussing potential limitations and caveats.

This document summarizes research on using clicker technology in undergraduate education. It finds that clickers can increase student engagement and feedback, though gains in learning are small. The largest learning gains are for students with lower GPAs. Clickers allow for anonymity, immediate feedback, and more implementation options than previous methods. The document also describes a research study that found clicker use significantly increased student engagement over merely asking comprehension questions, though it took clicker users longer to respond to secondary stimuli. It concludes by outlining some challenges to using clickers, such as preparation time and technical issues.
Increasing Engagement: Kitchka original contribution
This presentation discusses strategies for increasing student engagement with technology in the classroom. It provides examples of several instructional resources like Peardeck and Polleverywhere that allow incorporating student responses and formative assessments into lessons. Research suggests using technology assists with multiple modes of representation, expression and engagement in line with universal design principles. The presentation also reviews assessment resources like Quizzizz and Quizlet that make reviewing fun and game-like to motivate students. Data from these tools can track individual student progress.

The document summarizes Mohammad Mostafijur Rahman's bachelor's thesis which studied the impact of textbook utilization and integrative skills on student demotivation in handling group tasks at the secondary level. The study found that teachers do not fully use the prescribed English textbooks in class and students lack opportunities to practice group work. As a result, university students face difficulties participating in collaborative activities. The document recommends training teachers in communicative teaching methods, utilizing local materials, and introducing more group discussions and pair work at the secondary level.

The Future of Textbooks is OPEN (and the future has arrived)
This document discusses the high cost of textbooks and its negative impact on student success. It presents data showing that many students do not purchase required textbooks due to cost, take fewer courses, or drop courses because of textbook prices. The document then proposes open educational resources (OER) as a solution to reduce costs. OER are freely accessible, openly licensed texts and media that can be legally shared. Studies cited found OER increase access and student performance while reducing costs compared to traditional textbooks. The document encourages readers to advocate for OER adoption at their institutions.

The document discusses using online repeatable quizzes to enhance student learning. It notes that common problems instructors face are students not reading textbooks, not studying, and being at different levels, making it hard to move lessons forward. The proposed solution is to use low-stakes, online, repeatable learning checks on Blackboard. This allows students to access quizzes easily and reinforces concepts through unlimited attempts. Setting quizzes up this way promotes self-regulated learning and mastery of material. Instructors must consider parameters like feedback, grading, time limits and number of questions when setting up quizzes.

Professor Maria Raciti (USC) presents at a NCSEHE panel discussion: Tips for outreach staff on how to evaluate outreach programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studentsPragmatism vs. Idealism and the Identity Crisis of OER Advocacy
This document discusses the tensions between pragmatism and idealism in open educational resource (OER) advocacy. It notes that while OER adoption rates are growing, they remain relatively low. The ideal goal of OER is to not just make materials free but to encourage adaptation and improvement through open licensing. However, OER advocates still rely on tactics from the commercial textbook industry. The document advocates moving beyond a focus on replacing textbooks and instead promoting open educational practices that empower educators. It argues this shift is needed for OER to realize its full potential to reduce costs while improving education.

ABLE - EFYE 2018 induction paper
The document summarizes a pilot project that tested using a pre-arrival induction task through the university's student dashboard. The task involved students answering 6 questions before arriving on campus. The pilot found that students who completed the task had higher engagement with the dashboard, better progression to the second year, and higher average grades. It is an effective early predictor of students who may need additional support. The document recommends more fully integrating the task into course activities and providing follow-up interventions for at-risk students identified through the task.

This document discusses a study conducted in Norway that examined how the "flipped classroom" teaching method, which incorporates more technology use, impacts students compared to traditional teaching methods. The study looked at student attitudes towards the flipped classroom, their evaluations of courses that used this method, and whether students' grades developed differently when taught via the flipped method versus regular classes. The researchers found that the flipped classroom directly impacted student attitudes and evaluations of courses, and indirectly impacted the various factors that can determine student evaluations of courses. They discuss how technology can be used to support students and how its results and impacts can best be measured.

Occupational therapy-technologies for learning
This document discusses using blogs to promote competence in undergraduate occupational therapy students. A survey was conducted of students and lecturers to identify needs and it was found that blogs could provide additional resources for students compared to other technologies like Facebook. The literature supports that e-learning and blogs can enhance interaction and develop cognitive, social, and self-directed learning skills. A blog was developed linked to the existing learning management system that covered topics in the curriculum. Formative evaluation found blogs were an ideal way to provide extra resources for students during practice learning. Recommendations include getting lecturer participation, expanding available videos, and monitoring student comments on the blog.

Reading Achievement and Reading Efficacy-By-Wiwiek Afifah
1. This study evaluated the effects of a blended learning instructional experience for sixth-grade English/language arts students with and without disabilities. It compared reading achievement test scores of students in two schools using blended learning to scores of students in a traditional classroom.
2. The results found some statistically significant differences in reading achievement depending on school, disability status, and gender. However, overall student performance generally declined between pre- and post-tests, suggesting test fatigue or that the achievement test may not have adequately captured student learning in the blended environment.
3. The study provided valuable information for improving blended learning implementation and professional development, and found that reading self-efficacy remained important for student achievement in blended settings. Further

This document describes two projects aimed at improving computing students' information literacy skills. The first project encouraged use of e-journals and improved electronic searching. It resulted in students making greater use of journals and advanced search techniques, and producing better quality bibliographies. The second project developed strategies to promote evaluating information quality. It led to higher quality bibliographies citing peer-reviewed sources and quality websites. Both projects embedded activities in the curriculum and used collaboration, reinforcement, and timely contextualized learning. An iterative cognitive skills model of information literacy is presented and mapping shows how skills are developed through stages of identifying needs, locating, evaluating, solving problems, and implementing solutions.Alvin and laura uhlig

Effects of project based learning on education

Ashford University
Effects of in cooperating Project based Learning in the school curriculum
Introduction
Learning is determined by a number of factors, some of which are environmental related while others are not. The approach of teaching is one of the major determinants of learning as far classroom learning is concerned, however there has been a concern that the current approaches to learning are a little too abstract. Lack of real life scenarios and too much theory has been responsible for the growing apathy towards learning. It is for this reason that studies are being contacted to see if the change in tact can improve learning. One of the suggested ways is the project based learning approach which uses non fictional concepts for teaching.
Purpose of the study
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of in cooperating project based learning in the school curriculum. The study seeks to ascertain if there is any relationship between projects based learning and the improvement in scores for students (Daniel 2012). Previous studies have shown that students are likely to improve in cases where some form of simulation or use of no fictional material. According to these, the use of non fictional approaches stimulates the students to look at issues from the reality perspective hence making it easy to internalize whatever they are learning for the sake of being able to remember, however these studies have not clearly explained the actual relationships that exist between the performance and the project based learning. There are other factors which could have in for the findings to be so, for those studies, this study would critically examine the direct impact that project based learning has on students.
Research questions
1. Will the incorporation of project based learning improve students state assessment scores as it relates to the common core state standards in comprehending non fiction text?
2. Will the inclusion of project based learning improve student application of comprehending non fictional text at a high depth of learning level?
3. How does project based learning integrate clear expectations and essential criteria and remain successful
In research, data is an important factor because it is the one which determines the findings and recommendations for the, decisions to be made (Peter 2011). The main data collection methods will be observation, interviews and artifacts, questionnaires will also be used to collect data concerning the stakeholders. Observation will be effective tools for confirming how students behave in classes, when the various approaches are used. Students will be observed in a classroom setting and comparisons be made between those classes that imp.
A Hybrid Approach To Promoting Students Web-Based Problem-Solving Competence...
The document proposes a hybrid approach combining cognitive apprenticeship and collaborative learning to improve students' web-based problem-solving skills and learning attitudes. An experiment was conducted comparing students in an experimental group, who learned collaboratively using cognitive apprenticeship, to a control group who learned with traditional cognitive apprenticeship. The experimental results showed that middle- and low-achieving students in the experimental group benefited more than those in the control group. The hybrid approach effectively accommodated students with different learning abilities.
Introduction to Online Teaching
The document summarizes a study on introducing an online teaching and learning system at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) to replace the traditional classroom system. A survey was conducted of 51 UTeM students. The results found that 59% of respondents were not satisfied with the current classroom system. Most respondents felt the classroom environment was uncomfortable and classrooms were insufficient. Additionally, 55% did not often ask lecturers questions due to shyness. The study concluded the current system fails to engage students, while an online system could provide flexibility and be less stressful. The goal is to improve teaching methods to enhance student understanding and performance.

The document discusses web-based learning, focusing on how student characteristics and behaviors impact their motivation and learning experience. It aims to identify how instruction over the web can motivate students and how students learn in a web environment. Some research has found web-based courses can be as effective as traditional courses, while other studies found students prefer face-to-face learning. Successful web-based learning requires engagement from both instructors and students, with students regulating their own learning and instructors facilitating.
Supporting Instructors in MOOCs: Using cognitive science research to guide pe...
Abstract: How can online learning platforms provide useful information about pedagogy to instructors teaching online, while ensuring that course teams are not constrained in leveraging their teaching expertise to personalize their MOOC? The scientific literature on learning and education provides hundreds of detailed studies, which can be synthesized to identify effective instructional strategies, and mined for examples of how an instructional strategy can be implemented in a specific environment, set of educational materials, or student population. This talk illustrates this approach, by presenting a worksheet guide that supports MOOC designers in using two instructional strategies: increasing student motivation to think through challenges by designing exercises which encourage students to see their intelligence as malleable, and enhancing deep understanding with questions and prompts for students to explain. The talk explains how these two instructional strategies are motivated by both existing literature and recently conducted experimental studies. It also presents the specific details of how the guide is targeted at MOOC instructors and provides them with multiple actionable strategies they can use in their courses.
GTN Faculty Presentation

Using web quests to increase student learning2
- 1. Using WebQuests to Increase Student Learning Hannah Mohs NNU Graduate Student May 5, 2011
- 2. When do students struggle? The fifth grade students of Hiawatha Elementary School exhibit low grades in Social Studies classes when teachers use standard, face-to-face instructional methods.
- 3. What can I do to help? Try a new strategy Reach as many learners as possible
- 4. How can a WebQuest help? WebQuests prompt transformational thinking, defined as an activity that goes beyond the acquisition of facts and allow the learner to transform knowledge to make it their own (March, 2008) Students engage in higher order thinking
- 5. What is the goal of a WebQuests? to help students think critically at higher cognitive levels, and use information to solve problems (Young and Wilson, 2002).
- 6. Factors to consider: Find an adequate, REAL WebQuest Student learning styles Student technological experience
- 7. Methodology Two units Traditional lecture styleinstruction Facilitated electronic instruction, WebQuest This study will measure results by comparing student scores from traditional and electronic instruction. The results will be analyzed through descriptive statistics, a t-test, and a one-way ANOVA test.
- 8. Possible Findings Some students may excel because of prior technological exposure The WebQuest may not target a students preferred learning style. Some students may connect to the content better than others.
- 9. Future Possibilities Students will learn to use the internet to acquire knowledge The teacher-researcher will use a WebQuest again in Social Studies and other subject areas.

Editor's Notes
- This is hannahmohs and this is my pechakucha. I created this in order to highlight the main reasons why I chose to do this study.
- Face to face instruction includes the textbook as the knowledge and the teacher provides the explanations to help students comprehend the information.
- I can try a new strategy. This strategy was only founded 15 years ago by two men named Bernie Dodge and Tom March. They wanted to find a way to help student think critically through an inquiry based activity. I found this strategy and chose to do it because it reached as many learners as possible in one lesson. Students can watch videos, listen to audio, read factual information and portray their new found knowledge in a way that suits their learning styles.
- Dodge and March found a way to have students solve a real world problem in a new environment, the internet. Many students only use the internet for play, it is their goal to have students use the internet to gain knowledge in an inquiry based activity.
- There are many aclaimedwebquests out their. But a true webquests includes an introduction, task, process, sources, evaluation and conclusion. Students are given a role or a problem and asked to navigate through the webquest to find the answer, while researching different topics. When looking for the right webquest keep in mind your individual classroom students, not all are engaging. Make sure the one you choose hits as many of your learning as possible. Technology is new and some students have only used the computer for playing games, having to do research is a whole new thing to them. Keep in mind, you may need to do a mini lesson to help students succeed.
