This document describes the implementation of a Learning Design system called the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS). LAMS allows teachers to design sequences of collaborative learning activities for students and manage their implementation. It provides tools for administering user accounts, delivering activity sequences to students, and monitoring student progress. The document outlines an example learning activity sequence on the topic of "What is Greatness?" consisting of 4 weeks of activities including discussion forums, reviewing content, online chatting in small groups, and individual reporting. LAMS is designed to operationalize the concept of Learning Design and help teachers recreate and adapt learning activity sequences.
This document discusses using podcasts to support an undergraduate English language module at Kingston University. Six podcasts were created covering study skills, portfolio development, and presentation skills. Student feedback was collected through focus groups, interviews, and a questionnaire. The podcasts aimed to improve learning and skills through flexible access, conveying tacit knowledge from peers, and an informal learning experience. The research evaluated how well the podcasts achieved these goals and developed a model for integrating podcasts in blended learning contexts based on these features.

This document discusses the traditional conception of knowledge and proposes an alternative conceptualization. It begins by reviewing the historical origins of debates around the nature of knowledge dating back to pre-Socratic philosophers in ancient Greece. These early thinkers accepted a scenario where the knower and things known are separate and independent entities. The document then proposes a new model of "knowing" that incorporates a specific view of the communication process and applies this model to mathematics education.

This document summarizes an instructional report from the Center for Research on Learning and Technology (CRLT) that examines Problem Based Learning (PBL) as an instructional model based on constructivist learning theory. The report outlines three key principles of constructivism: 1) understanding comes from interactions with the environment, 2) cognitive conflict stimulates learning, and 3) knowledge evolves through social processes. It then describes eight instructional principles for constructivist learning environments and provides PBL as an exemplar that aligns with these principles.
This document discusses constructive alignment in education. It covers:
1. Constructive alignment aims to align intended learning outcomes, teaching methods, and assessments. The verbs used in learning outcomes should be enacted in both teaching and assessment.
2. Intended learning outcomes should be expressed from the student's perspective using action verbs about what students will be able to do. Teaching and assessment should elicit these desired verbs.
3. Constructive alignment was developed at the University of Hong Kong to ensure teaching methods and assessments directly address the intended learning outcomes. This creates a coherent design for teaching and learning.
The document discusses learning and teaching in a synchronous collaborative environment. It proposes combining an innovative methodology for "same-time, same-place" interactive learning with group support systems technology, which is designed to provide computer-mediated collaboration in addition to communication. This allows students to overcome barriers to effective collaborative learning like shyness, while still experiencing face-to-face interaction. Group support systems enable parallel and anonymous work, with an equal opportunity for all students to contribute ideas simultaneously. Research suggests this approach can improve critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills, and participation compared to traditional classrooms.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on lessons for integrating data protection software. The presentation discusses the importance of effective data protection, challenges SMBs using virtualization will face in managing and protecting data, and how data protection ties into disaster recovery strategies. It also outlines general advice on getting started with data protection, such as reviewing existing infrastructure and fixing issues, and making and enforcing a data protection plan.
Human: Thank you, that's a great high-level summary that hits the key points.
This document provides an overview of constructivism as it relates to instructional design and delivery. It discusses how constructivism views learning as an active process of constructing knowledge rather than acquiring it, and instruction as a process of supporting that construction rather than communicating knowledge. The document outlines some of the key philosophers and theories that provide historical and philosophical context for constructivist views, including Vico, Wittgenstein, Kuhn, and Rorty. It also discusses debates around constructivism and implications for how knowledge and meaning are viewed from a constructivist perspective.
This 3-page document provides a summary of a report on situated cognition and the culture of learning. It begins with an abstract that outlines the key ideas in 3 sentences: 1) Many teaching methods assume conceptual knowledge is independent of the situations in which it is learned and used, but this assumption can lead to lack of success; 2) Drawing on research on everyday learning, the authors claim knowledge is situated and influenced by the context and culture in which it develops; 3) Teaching should account for the role of activities, context and culture through cognitive apprenticeship methods. The document then describes the contents, which explore situated knowledge and learning activity and provide examples of cognitive apprenticeship in mathematics teaching.
This document provides an overview of social constructivist perspectives on teaching and learning. It discusses how social constructivism views learning as dependent on social and cultural factors, in contrast to earlier behavioral and cognitive perspectives that viewed learning as an individual process. The document reviews theories from Piaget and Vygotsky that inform social constructivist views of learning mechanisms. It also examines research applying social constructivism through institutional, interpersonal, and discursive analyses of teaching and learning processes. Finally, it discusses applications of social constructivism to issues like expertise development, assessment, education equity, and school reform.
