Many universities are currently shifting from face-to-face education into the online distance education, others are becoming dual-mode universities and a few others are totally online and at distance. However, the transition has not been easy. With the adoption of new educational models leading to a virtual university, many issues related to technology and pedagogy have unfolded significantly. While adopting technology into their teaching to deliver instruction and manage online courses at distance, teaching faculty have become totally immersed in a discussion concerning how to apply principles of pedagogy to technology. Best pedagogical practices in Moodle are discussed in this presentation.
Blended learning is a mix of learning strategies, approaches, models, etc. E-Learning offers technology-enabled Blended learning environment to help organizations deliver effective learning solutions.
Blending Middle School: A Powerful Time For Math EducationDreamBox Learning
Middle school is a time of development, discovery and transition for students - but also an exciting and powerful time for math education. Tom Vander Ark of Getting Smart will share his research and findings around successful implementations of blended learning in middle schools across the nation, as well as lessons learned. Elementary math often provides a level of instant gratification—you see the problem, you know the answer. In middle school, the math starts to get more complex, building connections among content. We need to help students practice patience, use a variety of solving techniques to attack problems, and learn from their mistakes in order to persist through difficult math situations rather than simply giving up. Attend this web seminar to learn how to motivate students to succeed with competency-based learning, build persistence through learning that is student-driven, and equip schools for learning that happens anytime, anywhere.

The whole aim of a learning process is to help the learner move from Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) to Zone of Achieved Development (ZAD). Most of us are aware of these terms from Lev Vygotsky's theory of learning and development. From unknowing to known, the distance between the current developmental level and potential development can be covered through guidance as per Lev Vygotsky’s theory.
But how do we know that this distance has been traversed by the learner?
The answer is performance assessment.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
2. Professional development is a big
part of teaching, and keeping
certifications current. Professional
development, can be completed
through online classes, webinars, or
other computer related sources.
After implementing these e-learning
styles of teaching, teachers will be
able to complete their continuing
education units, and fulfill NAEYC
professional development criteria.
All staff that work directly with
students will be a part of this
analysis. This includes principals,
teachers, assistant teachers,
instructional aids, paraprofessionals,
and counselors.

Lessons for All of Us
Forty three point eight
percent of teachers reported
that they had participated in
professional development
activities focusing on the use
of computers for instruction
in the past 12 months.
4. Learning and Teaching
Getting Started
The first step is to determine what you
want your audience to learn, and be
able to do at the end of class. To help
you specify your objectives for teacher
learning, answer the following
questions:
What is the topic of the lesson?
What do I want teachers to learn?
What do I want them to understand
and be able to do at the end of this
tutorial?
What do I want them to take away
from this particular lesson?
5. Free Writing/Minute Paper/Question of the Day Exercise
These are activities that prompt students to write a response to an open question and can be done
at any time during a class. Writing activities are usually 1-2 minutes, and can focus on key questions
and ideas or ask students to make predictions.
Ice Breakers
Ice Breakers are low-stakes activities that get students to interact and talk to each other, and
encourage subsequent classroom interactions.
Think–Pair–Share
This type of activity first asks students to consider a question on their own, and then provides an
opportunity for students to discuss it in pairs, and finally together with the whole group.
Jigsaw
A Jigsaw is a cooperative active learning exercise where students are grouped into teams to solve a
problem or analyze a reading. These can be done in one of two ways – either each team works on
completing a different portion of the assignment and then contributes their knowledge to the class
as a whole, or within each group, one student is assigned to a portion of the assignment (the jigsaw
comes from the bringing together the various ideas at the end of the activity to produce a solution
to the problem).
Interactive Activities

3. Get CEU and College Credit
4. Add Flexibility
5. Increase Accountability
6. Bring Education Theory to
Life
7. Promote Transference of
Learning to the Workplace
8. Create Excitement about
Learning
8. Why Is Teacher Development
Important?
Ongoing Professional Development
It is critical for veteran teachers to
have ongoing and regular
opportunities to learn from each
other. Ongoing professional
development keeps teachers up-
to-date on new research on how
children learn, emerging
technology tools for the
classroom, new curriculum
resources, and more. The best
professional development is
ongoing, experiential,
collaborative, and connected to
and derived from working with
students and understanding their
culture.
9. New Media
While almost all schools offer professional
development in traditional, face-to-face
settings, the use of electronic media to
deliver training rose dramatically from 2013
to 2015.
Many teachers also reported acquiring
professional development through
collaborative and reflective activities outside
traditional training settings.
