The following draft presentation is centered on supporting educators who are working towards ensuring students are developing mastery in content, cognate, and cognitive learning outcomes in their classroom. The presentation focuses on strategies, underpinned by research, that elevate a teachers practice to inspect daily instructional and assessment strategies, build and inspect curriculum to enable surface and deep level knowledge construction, and to design a learning environment that builds the capacity of and involves learners in understanding their learning and taking action to constantly improve.
The slide deck goes further, providing guidance to site and district leaders to develop systems of deeper level learning.
Core outcomes of the presentation:
- Understand specific practices that limit the impact potential of problem and project based learning in the substantial enhancement of student learning
- Understand specific practices that have a high probability of enhancing student learning in the learning environments that utilize problem and project based learning.
- Understand underlying cognitive principles and specific strategies teachers may utilize to create a learning community to discuss learning, design and implement projects to ensure surface and deep level knowledge, and work collaboratively to review the impact of learning with students.
- Understand key tactical approaches that support site and district leaders in building and sustaining deeper learning systems.
Directed by Laura Fidler, this half-day workshop helps participants use the NAF curriculum as the foundation for project-based learning. Through a combination of direct instruction and hands-on
group work, participants will plan, design and receive peer feedback on an engaging and rigorous project using the Buck Institute for Education model and tools. Participants should bring their laptops, as well as the scopes and sequences.

AHDS Annual Conference November 2014 'Teaching Scotland's Future: What you need to know and do.' Workshop by Dr Deirdre Torrance and Dr Ann Rae from Edinburgh University on partnership working
A paper presented at the 2012 Design, Development and Research conference. A student’s experience in a tertiary programme should develop the professional skills needed after graduation as well as equip students with necessary skills to navigate real world situations. In the design field students work and learn in an educational design studio which mirrors the working model of professional design industries. Design students’ learning experiences can be investigated from both an external point of view, by establishing the level of student involvement, as well as from an internal point of view through the level of engagement encouraged by the method of teaching and learning. Student involvement, as explored in this paper relates to the framework develop by Astin (1984) in which he states: “Quite simply, student involvement refers to the amount of physical and psychological energy that the student devotes to the academic experience.” If a student is involved they stand to gain more from the educational experience. This experience could further be enhanced by developing an engaging learning situation. The term ‘engagement theory’, as explored by Kearsley and Shneiderman (1999), is grounded in technology based education but can be applied to most learning environments : “The fundamental idea underpinning engagement theory is that students must be meaningfully engaged in learning activities through interaction with others and worthwhile tasks”. The Schlechty Centre (2009) describes students who are engaged by their learning environment as able to learn at high levels with a clear and comprehensive understanding of what is being learnt, as well as being able to retain what they have learnt and that they are able to apply this new knowledge to different contexts . The three characteristics of an engaged learning experience are collaboration, project orientated assessment and authentic (real-world) learning . These characteristics are similar to practical studio based education practices which focus on problem based projects, grounded in real world contexts.
This paper investigates the level of student involvement of Industrial Design 3 students as well as whether engagement is encouraged within the theoretical subjects associated with this programme. To establish the level of student involvement students completed the 2012 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and findings are compared to corresponding data from America, Europe and Australia. The level of engagement experienced by third year Industrial Design students in the theoretical subject was documented through video and photographic ethnography. The aim of the research is to establish whether design students, with varying levels of student involvement, would have a more engaged learning experience in theoretical subjects if the learning experience was collaborative, project orientated and based in a real world context.

Bringing together internal and external students on Blackboard - Brett Fyfiel...Blackboard APAC
With the recent redevelopment of postgraduate courses in project management for the School of Civil Engineering and the Built Environment, new challenges were faced to make units more inclusive of a variety of enrolment preferences. The short term ambitions for the courses included developing units that are delivered both facetoface, and entirely online and have the potential to be scaled to meet the growing demand for continuing professional education. To ensure that students could join either facetoface or online offerings of the same units, the implementation team brought internal and external cohorts together on the same unit sites on Blackboard. The units are currently under evaluation but some early learnings may provide insight into new approaches to blended learning, and how these approaches have facilitated new ways of teaching and learning through tentative academic culture change.

Developing an online course on telecollaboration for teachers: A reflection o...Angelos Konstantinidis
Telecollaboration is flourishing yet there are still few courses in higher education that offer to in-service teachers the fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to organise and conduct a telecollaborative project in their own educational settings. This paper aims to provide a resource to teacher educators and course designers who seek to design a course on telecollaboration in higher or post-secondary education. Through reflective practice (Bolton, 2018) and adhering to the principles of educational design research (McKenney & Reeves, 2012), the process of design and development of an online master’s course for language teachers is described. The article begins by describing the context and discussing the underlying rationale and overall course aims and learning outcomes, while the syllabus and assessment tasks are reviewed next. Course evaluation throughout the years is briefly reported as well as other outcomes. The study concludes by pondering on the challenges faced.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

September 2010 - Scottish Government published their pre-legislative
White Paper, “ Putting Learners at the Centre:
Delivering our Ambitions for Post-16 Education in Scotland”
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2011/09/15103949/0
• Focus on workforce skills development.
• Regional Planning (driven by regional labour market needs).
• Collaborative curriculum design and delivery (HEI, Colleges
and Employers working more closely in partnership to design
and deliver programmes).
• No loss of time for learners (especially those moving to
degree study having studied HE level programmes in a
Scottish College).
• New “partnership models” for delivering HE in Scotland.
5. Helping with the Challenge of
Designing Work-based Programmes
• JISC Work-Based Learning Maturity Toolkit:
http://www.tinyurl.com/wbl-toolkit
used to inform and evaluate the design and delivery of the Youth
Work Programme.
• Partnership development funded by JISC, led by University of
Bradford in collaboration with University of Westminster, University
of Wales Institute Cardiff and Middlesex University and ELRAH.
6. Poll Question 1
The term ARTICULATION has become commonplace in
colleges and HEIs in Scotland. What does it mean?
College Students can gain some credit when applying for
undergraduate programmes for prior learning at HE levels in
colleges.
College Students gain full credit for Higher National
Qualifications gained in colleges entering level 2 with an
HNC and Level 3 with an HND. HEIs reserve places.
College Students must be able to evidence advanced level
academic skills before being offered an undergraduate
place in an HEI.

Youth Work Programme
• New Youth Work Programme developed to illustrate an alternative,
collaborative way of delivering HE which is more flexible and
responsive to local employer need.
• Articulation is designed in – students can enter at advanced levels of
the programme depending on prior qualifications and experience - this
was a key aspect for the employer.

# Using a model of reflection of your choice, undertake a critical incident
analysis of a situation or event at work or in your personal life. This can be a
small but significant event and need not be a crisis or even negative. Be careful
with confidential information e.g. clients’ or colleague’s names!

• Subject: Discussion Posting 2 - Critical Incident Analysis Topic: Online Discussion 2
Deadline 12 Noon 21.10.11 Author: xxxxxxx Date: 20 October 2011 12:02 PM
On researching different models of reflection, I have decided to complete a
critical incident analysis using The Reflective Cycle (Gibbs G, 1988, Learning
By Doing). I deliver a substance awareness session to a capacity building group
as part of their twelve week programme, a few groups ago they asked if we
would be interested in allowing a young person to complete their work
placement in ---------------. We decided to have her placement as part of my
project and that I would supervise her.
