The New 4 Rs - Riverina HT Conference
This document discusses building a connected learning environment for Stage 6 students using the "4 R's": relevance, rigour, relationships, and reflection. It outlines emerging technologies like cloud computing, games-based learning, and augmented reality that could be used. Connectivism is presented as a learning theory based on networks, knowledge, people, and technology. The document advocates using project-based and problem-based learning to teach 21st century skills through tools that promote relevance, rigour, relationships, and reflection. Assessment strategies like eAssessment and rubrics are also discussed.

The document outlines Jane Vella's approach to dialogue education, which is a system for designing, leading, and evaluating effective adult learning. It discusses four essential aspects: 1) Preparation through needs assessment and an eight-step design process. 2) Principle-based decision making guided by principles like respect and engagement. 3) A process using learning tasks with open questions to apply new content. 4) Proof of learning through indicators of learning, transfer of skills, and impact on learners. The goal is to create an engaging dialogue throughout the learning experience.
Oral Presentation 2
1) The study compared the effectiveness of using WebQuests versus traditional instructional methods for teaching content to students.
2) It found that students who completed a WebQuest on a topic gained as much content knowledge as those experiencing traditional classroom activities.
3) However, the study had some limitations, as the WebQuest and traditional lessons covered different topics, and the assessment focused only on content learned rather than the instructional innovation of WebQuests.

From Conference to Collaboration summarizes a university's journey from being inspired at a conference to implement new collaborative approaches to digital support. The university librarians were inspired by presentations at the LILAC conference on pedagogical approaches and academic engagement. This provided the initial inspiration, but they realized they needed to focus on realistic plans and gain support from colleagues to develop subject-specific content and strategies through collaboration with academic staff. They have since worked to develop, review, and monitor new collaborative approaches and found the process to be enjoyable but also challenging.2014 CoCo Seminar - Supporting Pre-Service and Early Career Teachers in Austr...
This talk presents a number of perspectives upon a growing learning network of pre-service and early career teachers. The learning network has arisen through a collaboration between a number of Australian universities, with the aim of facilitating support in the transition between pre-service education and the first years of service. The talk is structured to refer to this example in posing questions more general to design for learning networks:
- What is the motivation for developing the learning network? Original research into the need to augment teacher support in Australia.
- How do design of the set, activities and relationships align with participant motivations? Participant ownership and designing for culture (desired within the network) as well as cultural history (of the participants in other networks).
- How does theory influence the design process? Theory-based criticism of the design and allowing this to inform further design.

Power Point on Professional Learning Communities
Professional learning communities (PLCs) are collaborative groups that work together towards common goals to solve problems and share ideas for success. They meet regularly to discuss common ideas and are not meant for complaining. PLCs can collaborate using online tools like Wikispaces for sharing resources, Rubistar for creating common rubrics, and Voki for new student projects. Other tools for collaboration include Google Docs for shared materials, Test Generator for collaborative tests, and shared iTunes libraries for multimedia content. PLCs work to create better content and ensure best practices through online collaboration.

This workshop explored challenges in managing language teachers and courses through discussion of scenarios. Participants ranked common language course management tasks by importance and time spent. These included managing resources, handling student issues, observing teachers, and providing professional development. The workshop also introduced a new book series on language education management and held a raffle for attendees.
Online facilitation model
Ed Hootstein proposes that online facilitators take on four roles: instructor, social director, program manager, and technical assistant. As instructor, the facilitator acts as a consultant and resource while fostering learner-centeredness and problem-based learning. As social director, the facilitator creates a collaborative environment through discussion and group work. As program manager, the facilitator helps students organize themselves and learn independently. As technical assistant, the facilitator focuses on learners rather than technology by being proficient in the tools.

Roles and Responsibilities of the Online Learner
This document discusses the roles and responsibilities of online learners. Successful online learners are self-motivated, have strong computer skills, and are willing to commit significant time each week. They are also team players who can work collaboratively. As students, they generate knowledge, collaborate with others, and help manage online processes. Key responsibilities include being open, flexible, honest, and willing to work with others and take on leadership roles in community formation. The document provides tips for instructors to achieve maximum student participation and build an online learning community.

Social Networks for Language Teachers
The world has undergone a tremendous change: we moved from letters to emails, from old-fashioned phone boxes to smart phones, from brochures to websites , from attending seminars to attending webinars, etc. and the most tremendous change is moving from face-to-face socializing to social networking.
Everyone nowadays has joined social network in a way or another. Some are on FB; others are on Twitter. Others are still on the email stage. Others have FB accounts, Twitters, YouTube accounts, blogs, Flicker accounts, Instagram accounts and the list is still going on.
Although the majority of us do think that social media tools are an indispensable part of society, and these tools are here to stay. Just a few would think of including them in their teaching. According to Cavazza (2012), the advent of smartphones, tablet computers and on campus WiFi means that students are always connected, sharing, publishing, playing and networking. Therefore, if we don't like to appear in the image of archaic teacher and if we like to be on speaking terms with the the social media generation, we should resort to what appeals to them 'social networks'
Our job is to show students how social media can be used to achieve learning as many of them are not aware of the pedagogical value of these tools. The main goal of a FL teacher is to hold learners’ motivation, interest and focus during his/her lessons, which is believed to be the first step of guaranteeing successful learning. Thus, we should take advantage of this tremendous technological revolutions to meet our aims.
Mapping the journey barcelona pp
This document summarizes the transformation of a Research Methods module at the master's level to incorporate more online and collaborative learning elements. Key aspects included adopting a co-construction approach where learners and teachers share expertise, using connectivism as a learning theory, developing 9 online Learning Episodes with activities and assessments, and facilitating collaborative work between student clusters online with less direct tutoring. The process involved conversations with various stakeholders and revealed the need for tutor training on online pedagogies to develop engaging online communities of learners.
The power of learning analytics to unpack learning and teaching: a critical p...
Across the globe institutions are exploring the opportunities technology affords to provide a better,
more consistent, and more personalised service to their students and stakeholders In particular, the
development of learning analytics may empower distance learning institutions to provide near realtime
actionable feedback to teachers and students about what the “best” next step in their learning
journeys might be. For example, several institutions have started to explore the use of learning
analytics dashboards that can display learner and learning behaviour to teachers and instructional
designers in order to provide more real-time, or just-in-time support for students. Learning analytics
might provide opportunities for (semi-) automatic personalisation as well as increased flexibility of
online provision, while at the same time potentially benefiting from efficiency and retention gains
when providing education at scale. Nonetheless, there are several critics towards this learning
analytics and data-centred movement. Some critics tend to focus on the perceived dilution of the
role of the human teacher as a provider of the personal support role to (semi-) automated support
provisions. In this BERA keynote, I aim to provide a balanced perspectives of the affordances and
limitations of learning analytics

Keynote APT 2018 The power of learning analytics for teaching and academic de...
Across the globe many educational institutions are collecting vast amounts of small and big data about students and their learning behaviour, such as their class attendance, online activities, or assessment scores. As a result, the emerging field of Learning Analytics is exploring how data can be used to empower teachers and institutions to effectively support learners. The way teachers design learning and teaching practices have a substantial impact how our students are engaging in- and outside class. Recent research within the Institute of Educational Technology has found that 69% of how students learn on a weekly basis is determined by what we as teachers design and teach. Furthermore, how teachers are using learning analytics data significantly can help to support students, but what if teachers do not want or are able to embrace big data? In this APT2018 keynote, based upon 6 years of experience with LA data and large-scale implementations amongst 450000+ students and 400+ teachers at a range of contexts, I will use an interactive format to discuss and debate three major questions: 1) To what extent is learning analytics the new holy grail of learning and teaching? 2) How can learning design be optimised using the principles of learning analytics?; 3) How should institutions provide academic development opportunities to learn to embrace the affordances and limitations of learning analytics?
Online Collaborative Activities
The document discusses collaborative learning and proposes a model for designing collaborative activities that takes a developmental approach. It presents a helical teamworking model to represent the iterative and incremental nature of collaboration. The model incorporates increasing levels of interaction across successive activity cycles. A variety of tools are discussed to support online collaboration, but the document stresses the human aspect is most important. It concludes by outlining what institutions need to do to effectively support online collaborative learning experiences.

Nerantzi reflected on the experiences and preliminary findings from these initiatives, including challenges around time commitment and group work. She concluded by considering next steps, such as offering a new open cross-institutional course and research on the facilitators' experience in BY
Our Tech Teaching Philosophy
The document discusses the changing role of teachers in the digital age. It emphasizes that teachers must now focus on developing critical thinking skills over simple information comprehension. Teachers are encouraged to act as facilitators and delegates, promoting collaboration through project-based learning and networking beyond the classroom.
