The document discusses various web-based educational resources and strategies for web-enhanced learning. It provides examples of educational websites, tools for collaboration and document sharing, as well as strategies for using web resources to promote collaboration, cognitive flexibility, shared learning and reflection. Web-enhanced learning environments can engage students in real-world problem solving and impact beyond the classroom when designed to facilitate negotiation between students and their learning contexts.
This conceptual paper describes challenges in the field of Interactive Media and Learning (IML), striving towards a research and teaching field for mobile learning. The theoretical background is provided and arguments are listed, specifically what challenges researchers, practitioners (e.g., teachers, employers, employees) and designers face today on the way to mobile learning. This will be done from an educational perspective, in particular from Educational Technology from a Scandinavian community. The leading issue is how to educate the Homo Interneticus? Is learning supported by mobile devices one option? Is there a need to rethink the learning spaces of today? The paper provides answers by illustrating challenges in research and teaching with regard to mobile learning.
We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist, using technologies that haven't been invented, in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet. (Education and the Future of Technology, n.d.)

Hawkins, A., Barbour, M. K., & Graham, C. (2011, March). “Everybody is their own island”: Teacher disconnection in a virtual school. A paper presented at the annual conference of the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education, Nashville, TN.
Virtual schooling is a recent phenomenon in K-12 online learning. As such, the roles of the online teachers are emerging and differ from those of the traditional classroom teacher. Using qualitative interviews of eight virtual high school teachers, this study explored teachers’ perceptions of their online teaching role. Teachers expressed a sense of disconnection from their students, the profession, and their peers as a result of limited interactions due to significant institutional barriers. Researchers discuss the implications of this disconnection as well as future avenues for research.
Balancing teaching and technology for remote educationPaul Richards
Teaching, learning and scholarship are a journey or, rather, a series of short and long journeys with paths that sometimes serendipitously cross. With a journey, you may set out toward one goal and later find yourself in a place you did not expect. Spring 2020 was like that for most college students and instructors due to our global pandemic. Suddenly, instructors found themselves employing new technologies to adapt to remote teaching and engage students. Both groups needed to achieve a new balance, facilitating learning in a way like never before.
Ready, Aim, Fire: A presentation about technology integration and iPad integr...Joan E. Hughes, Ph.D.
In this presentation, I speak about the challenges of technology integration with a group of U.S. K-12 district superintendents and principals. I use my recent research on a high school's endeavor to integrate iPads into teaching and learning to situate my remarks about technology integration. Topics covered include: school change, vision/goals for technology integration, my RAT (replacement, amplification, transformation) model for assessing lessons that integrate technology, and using subject-specific problems of practice to drive technology-related professional learning for teachers.

Open SUNY NDLW: Using open source virtual-reality environments for community...Erin Maney
Immersive, 3-D environments have offered opportunities for distance participants to share in any number of activities. With the advent of open source environments that are low-cost and that come either pre-configured or easily configured, this instructor has used these environments in class activities including: presentations, discussions, poster sessions, team meetings within a class, and shared activities (such as visiting other islands or testing 3-D building). Using action research the effectiveness of these environments on community building has been studied and published; students have overcome the isolation of discussion-board-driven online environments and been able to form more effective academic and personal relationships within courses.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

9. A Web-enhanced instruction provides instant and varied collaboration forums , which may promote […] cognitive flexibility by criss-crossing domains (Spiro, Vispoel, Samarapunguan, & Boerger, 1987). Another possible advantage is readily accessible shared learning contexts (Bransford & Johnson, 1972). In addition, captured communications in cases allow for reflection and elaborated planning (Andrews, 1997). Collaboration, cognitive flexibility, shared learning, and reflection are known factors that, over time, can contribute to progression along the continuum from novice to expert (Berliner, 1986 ) From: Preparing General Education Pre-Service Teachers for Inclusion: Web-Enhanced Case-Based Instruction Lanna Andrews University of San Francisco

24. Learning is not about acquisition of new knowledge. It is about reorganizing what is known by the student and, as a result, creating new knowledge, new perceptions. The need for this re-organisation of perception arises due to students experiencing tension in the understandings which inform their actions. Thus, for the pedagogue, the issue is not to give knowledge to students but to challenge students for new forms of knowledge to have the opportunity to emerge. On learning and teaching relationship
