Robin Heyden

St. Edward's University uses simulation games in history and cultural foundations courses to engage students. In a WWII history course, students designed a simulation game for classmates to play incorporating political, social, and economic factors. In a cultural foundations course on the Syrian conflict, students role-played actors and agencies involved and responded to critical events. Simulation games provide experiential learning and help students better understand complex real-world issues.

OER exploration with the adult literacy program, August 2016

Manisha Khetarpal

Adult literacy program used OER videos, instructional resources, created blogs and commented on each others posts. The access to OER instructional resources in videos and audio format made complex text and concepts easy to understand for adult learners. OERs engaged students and this assisted with student retention. this helps students continue learning more as they are successful in their academic journey.

Exploring Links between Research and Teaching in Higher Education

A presentation by Professor Simon Haslett, Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor of the University of Wales. The presentation is part of the HEA Research Seminar/Webinar Series, 11th June 2013, at The Higher Education Academy, York. This seminar examines the ways in which research and teaching may be linked in academic practice in Higher Education. It seeks to unravel the various linkages through scholarship, research (both subject-based and pedagogic) and curriculum. The presentation draws upon the presenters’ recent experience as a leader in learning and teaching in Wales, including the activity and contribution of the Research-Teaching Nexus Action Set, and the current challenges to forging and maintaining research-teaching links in Higher Education. He also provides examples of research-teaching links from his own professional practice.

STEM mini course TCC Presentation

nankching

This document provides an overview of a STEM course on quantitative literacy in population ecology that was developed by three educators. The course aims to teach 9th grade biology students quantitative skills through online modules focusing on coral reef ecosystems. It includes weekly lessons integrating math and science concepts, such as random sampling, data analysis, and conservation. Students complete activities analyzing scientific data and create a final conservation poster. The course was well-received by students, though the developers recommend designating a project manager and adding more interactions to strengthen future iterations.

PopuLLar presentation

Joel Josephson

The PopuLLar EU project aims to motivate language learning and cultural diversity among students. It uses music, a primary teenage interest, by having students select a song, translate the lyrics into another language, record themselves singing both versions, and share online. The project materials provide instructional guides and tools to facilitate this process for both students and teachers. The goal is an autonomous project where students lead the sharing of musical translations across European schools.

The gradual integration of ICT into the teaching of science

Svava Pétursdóttir

The document summarizes research on the gradual integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) into science teaching in Icelandic classrooms between 1999 and 2015. It finds that while ICT use has increased over this period, it is still mainly for support purposes like Internet searches and presentations. Some key findings include: 1) Simulations and data logging are used close to never, while videos and photos are used often; 2) Teachers report mostly positive effects on learning and engagement; 3) Topic choices have broadened beyond textbooks to include more earth sciences and student choice. The document concludes that ICT integration has changed pedagogies and modes of learning but that further teacher professional development is still needed.

This presentation by Aliya Ibraimova was part of OpenCon 2017's Regional Models for Open Research and Open Education panel. Aliya shared the successes and challenges of integrating openness in the Kyrgyz context through the implementation of Kyrgyz Mountains Environmental Education and Citizen Science project (KMEECS) and subsequent projects. KMEECS project applies a transdisciplinary approach to knowledge generation. It combines citizen science on the community level, environmental research and teacher training to foster awareness of and interaction with the local environment. At the same time it aims at generating locally relevant data on the environment in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. The project pilots the introduction of low-cost environmental field courses on water monitoring in schools in mountain communities of Kyrgyzstan’s Naryn province. Based on a citizen science approach, students analyse and generate data on their water resources, which are fed into a network of open environmental data.

The document describes an environmental education project called "Learning in the Outdoor Environment" carried out by the Észak-Mátra Environmental Protection Association in Hungary. The project aims to use real-world materials and hands-on outdoor activities to make environmental lessons more engaging for students. Students participate in games, excursions, environmental observations, experiments and other activities both on school grounds and in surrounding areas. The outdoor learning approach helps students develop knowledge, social skills, cooperation abilities, and stimulates self-directed investigation of their natural environment. Teachers observed students being more motivated and their competencies developing more easily compared to traditional classroom lessons.

It reports on workshops, seminars, school activities, and exhibitions held in Bulgaria, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania, and Turkey to promote recycling and environmental education among students, teachers, and local communities. Feedback questionnaires administered to participants indicate positive responses about the activities and interest in continuing to learn about the topics covered in the project. Suggestions for the future include continuing the project, making recycled works with children, and ensuring children enjoy and are surprised by the learning process.

NATURALISM_PPT.pptx

Naturalism was a literary movement that emerged in late 19th century America, England, and France. It built upon literary Realism by adding the concept of determinism, which holds that external and internal forces beyond a character's control determine their actions and limit their free will. Naturalist writers sought to objectively depict the harsh realities of life, often focusing on the lower classes and how characters are impacted by issues like heredity, environment, social conditions, and instinct. Though characters struggle against vast forces that control their lives, naturalist works aim to show how people maintain human dignity even in adversity.

learning_to_learn.ppt

The document discusses the changing landscape of teaching and learning. Research shows learning is most effective when it is active, learner-centered, collaborative, and involves metacognition and community engagement. New students have different learning preferences than past generations. Technology and globalization require new skills. The goal should be developing intentional, self-directed learners who can adapt and learn throughout their lives. Explicitly teaching students how to learn can help achieve this.

Ch_54_Ecosystems.ppt

This document provides information about key concepts in ecosystems and nutrient cycling for an AP Biology class. It discusses how ecosystems transform energy and cycle matter, noting that ecosystems require energy capture, energy transfer, and nutrient cycling to be self-sustaining. It then summarizes several nutrient cycles (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, water), emphasizing where each nutrient is stored, how it enters the food chain through primary production, is recycled through decomposition, and returns to storage. It also addresses how energy moves through ecosystems in food chains and webs, becoming less efficient at each trophic level.
