Download or read book Blended Synchronous Learning written by Matt G Bower and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blended synchronous learning - where remote students participate in face-to-face classes by means of rich-media synchronous technologies such as video conferencing, web conferencing and virtual worlds - is an emerging phenomenon in education. More and more teachers are attempting to teach in this challenging mode, but without any systematic research evidence to help guide their blended synchronous learning practices. The Blended Synchronous Learning Handbook is a definitive resource that addresses this issue. It includes a Blended Synchronous Learning Design Framework that offers pedagogical, technological and logistical recommendations for teachers attempting to design and implement blended synchronous learning lessons. It also includes a Rich-Media Synchronous Technology Capabilities Framework to support the selection of technologies for different types of learning activities, as well as a review of relevant literature, a summary of the Blended Synchronous Learning Scoping Study, detailed reports of seven blended synchronous learning case studies, and an in-depth cross case analysis to underpin the recommendations that are drawn.
Download or read book Learning Design written by Rob Koper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-02-18 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E-learning is still in its infancy. This can be seen both in the limited pedagogical quality and lack of portability of e-learning content, and in the lack of user-friendly tools to exploit the opportunities offered by current technologies. To be successful, e-learning must offer effective and attractive courses and programmes to learners, while at the same time providing a pleasant and effective work environment for staff members who have the task to develop course materials, plan the learning processes, provide tutoring, and assess performance. To overcome these deficiencies, the IMS Global Learning Consortium Inc. released the Learning Design Specification in 2003. With Learning Design it is possible to develop and present advanced, interoperable e-learning courses embracing educational role and game playing methods, problem-based learning, learning community approaches, adaptivity and peer coaching and assessment methods. In this handbook Koper and Tattersall have put together contributions from members of the "Valkenburg Group", consisting of 33 experts deeply involved in e-learning and more specifically learning design. The result is a rich and lasting source of information for both e-learning course and tool developers, providing information about the specification itself, how to implement it in practice, what tools to use, and what pitfalls to avoid. The book not only reports first experiences, but also goes beyond the current state of the art by looking at future prospects and emerging applications.
Download or read book Teaching in Blended Learning Environments written by Norman D. Vaughan and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching in Blended Leaning Environments provides a coherent framework in which to explore the transformative concept of blended learning. Blended learning can be defined as the organic integration of thoughtfully selected and complementary face-to-face and online approaches and technologies. A direct result of the transformative innovation of virtual communication and online learning communities, blended learning environments have created new ways for teachers and students to engage, interact, and collaborate. The authors argue that this new learning environment necessitates significant role adjustments for instructors and generates a need to understand the aspects of teaching presence required of deep and meaningful learning outcomes. Built upon the theoretical framework of the Community of Inquiry – the premise that higher education is both a collaborative and individually constructivist learning experience – the authors present seven principles that provide a valuable set of tools for harnessing the opportunities for teaching and learning available through technology. Focusing on teaching practices related to the design, facilitation, direction and assessment of blended learning experiences, Teaching in Blended Learning Environments addresses the growing demand for improved teaching in higher education.
Download or read book Designing for Learning in an Open World written by Gráinne Conole and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet and associated technologies have been around for almost twenty years. Networked access and computer ownership are now the norm. There is a plethora of technologies that can be used to support learning, offering different ways in which learners can communicate with each other and their tutors, and providing them with access to interactive, multimedia content. However, these generic skills don’t necessarily translate seamlessly to an academic learning context. Appropriation of these technologies for academic purposes requires specific skills, which means that the way in which we design and support learning opportunities needs to provide appropriate support to harness the potential of technologies. More than ever before learners need supportive ‘learning pathways’ to enable them to blend formal educational offerings, with free resources and services. This requires a rethinking of the design process, to enable teachers to take account of a blended learning context.

Download or read book Code of Practice for Programme Management written by CIOB (The Chartered Institute of Building) and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT CODE OF PRACTICE FOR PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT This is the first Code of Practice for Programme Management for the Built Environment. It is a natural development from the highly successful Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction & Development, which was first published in 1992 and is currently in its fifth edition. Both Codes of Practice were developed by representatives from the major professional institutions associated with the built environment, including the CIOB, RICS, RIBA, ICE and APM, as well as from key government departments, domestic and international corporations and the university sector. By aligning, coordinating and managing a number of related projects as a programme, benefits that would not have been possible to realise had the projects been managed independently can be delivered. This Code of Practice is intended to provide practical coverage of the general processes and procedures to be followed when managing such a programme. It sets out the necessary requirements for effective and efficient programme management, while at the same time ensuring systematic quality control and documentation through governance arrangements. Written for programme and project management professionals in construction, whether working as contractors or clients, the book will also be of interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of construction and related disciplines.
Download or read book The Seismoelectric Method written by André Revil and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seismoelectric method consists of measuring electromagnetic signals associated with the propagation of seismic waves or seismic sources in porous media. This method is useful in an increasing number of applications, for example to characterize aquifers, contaminant plumes or the vadose zone. This book provides the first full overview of the fundamental concepts of this method. It begins with a historical perspective, provides a full explanation of the fundamental mechanisms, laboratory investigations, and the formulation of the forward and inverse problems. It provides a recent extension of the theory to two-phase flow conditions, and a new approach called seismoelectric beamforming. It concludes with a chapter presenting a perspective on the method. This book is a key reference for academic researchers in geophysics, environmental geosciences, geohydrology, environmental engineering and geotechnical engineering. It will also be valuable reading for graduate courses dealing with seismic wave propagation and related electromagnetic effects.
