The document discusses the ViCaDiS project, which aimed to implement social software and mobile features into university learning environments. It describes the project goals and innovation process used, which involved analyzing needs through a soft systems methodology. Surveys were conducted to identify relevant mobile technologies and educational benefits. Results showed potential for communication tools, dual device interfaces, and mobile applications to support learning tasks and calendar updates. The project highlighted that pedagogical paradigms, teaching competencies, and existing technology influence how mobile and social tools are adopted in educational contexts.
Career day 2014 at Queens Vocational and Technical HSKristen T
I had the wonderful opportunity to give a talk on Career Day at Queens Vocational and Technical HS this past Friday (6/6/14), these are the slides that I used. I also posted some resources for the students here: http://www.protopage.com/ktreglia#Untitled/Career_Day_2014
This paper presents a comparative analysis of Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) Learning Management System (LMS). Following a selection process we analyze the functionalities and characteristics of 8 tools commonly used in formal and informal education. More specifically we focus on the availability of different tools concerning communication and assistance, such as, forum, email, calendar, portfolios, etc. Our analysis showed that despite their similarities, the appropriateness of different FLOSS LMSs can be greatly affected by the specific needs of students, instructors and institutions.

Abstract:
ERAU-Worldwide presents its highly-centralized model of distance learning, delivering 200+ turnkey-style online courses, facilitated by 800+ instructors, to 36,000+ students across the globe. How do we ensure instructional quality is pervasive while innovating through emerging technologies and delivery mode diversification? What initiatives can smaller organizations take away and apply?

ABSTRACT
With the proliferation of technology, the field of e-learning has garnered significant attention in recent times. This is because it has allowed users from around the world to learn and access new information. This has added to the growing amount of collected data that is already being generated through different devices and sensors employed around the world. This has led to the need to analyze collected data and extract useful information from it. Machine learning (ML) and data analytics (DA) are proposed techniques that can help extract information and find valuable patterns within the collected data. In this paper, the field of e-learning is investigated in terms of definitions and characteristics. Moreover, the various challenges facing the different participants within this process are discussed. In addition, some of the works proposed in the literature to tackle these challenges are presented. Then, a brief survey about some of the most popular ML and DA techniques is given. Finally, some of the research opportunities available that employ such techniques are proposed to give insights into the areas that merit further exploration and investigation.
Technopreneurship Mobile Application (TMA): A Support Mechanism for Flexible ...IJITE
Mobile phones are essential in our daily lives because of their benefits in communication, entertainment, and education. Students use their mobile phones in teaching-learning engagement, both synchronous and asynchronous. The study focused on developing and validating Technopreneurship Mobile Application (TMA) in its functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, and User interface/user experience. The study engaged with developmental research using the mobile app development cycle, including requirement specification, development modeling, design and development, testing, and deployment. Online data gathering and analysis were used for mobile application validation, evaluation performance, and mobile deployment. A total of 95 information technology students evaluated the application. The results showed that the application is functional, reliable, usable, efficient, and the user interface is helpful. The overall results obtained a 4.20 with an excellent evaluation that shows that developing a mobile application can be a great tool in the flexible learning delivery for students due to its accessibility and usefulness.
