This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advanced learning internet technologies indicated a need for methodologies, tools and pedagogues that support the introduction of synchronous e-learning applications and especially Interactive Videoconferencing (IVC) into the whole learning environment. This book presents the theoretical background and the methodology that have been developed, to implement a pedagogical model for IVC instruction.

Download or read book Educational Curricula written by Jennifer N. Casey and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In formal education, a curriculum (plural curricula) is the set of courses, and their content, offered at a school or university. As an idea, curriculum stems from the Latin word for race course, referring to the course of deeds and experiences through which children grow and mature in becoming adults. Crucial to the curriculum is the definition of the course objectives that usually are expressed as learning outcomes and normally include the program's assessment strategy. These outcomes and assessments are grouped as units (or modules), and, therefore, the curriculum comprises a collection of such units, each, in turn, comprising a specialised, specific part of the curriculum. So, a typical curriculum includes communications, numeracy, information technology, and social skills units, with specific, specialised teaching of each. This book presents research on educational curricula from around the world.

Download or read book Interactive Videoconferencing and Collaborative Distance Learning for K 12 Students and Teachers written by Panagiotes S. Anastasiades and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) under pedagogical conditions can play a vital role in the structure of modern school. Interactive Videoconferencing (IVC) is a significant tool at the disposal of teachers and students, so that they can design and implement collaborative Learning activities at a distance. The application of videoconferencing in schools is significantly increasing but there is an obvious lack in the pedagogical design of educational videoconferencing programs. Technology alone is not efficient enough and there is a demand for a holistic pedagogical framework and a practical guide for the development and implementation of collaborative learning environments at a distance via videoconferencing. This book covers this need and supports schools, teachers and content providers to develop a variety of interactive educational programs through videoconferencing, aiming at the opening up of school to new learning, social and cultural environments. The pedagogical utilisation of VC broadens the horizons in communication and collaboration in school classrooms world-wide, thus contributing greatly to the active participation of students in authentic environments of exploration and collaborative structure of knowledge and to the development of vital social skills

Book excerpt: Videoconferencing for K-12 Classrooms is an essential resource for every school and district leader, whether you already have a fledgling videoconferencing program or are still contemplating one. Interactive videoconferencing (IVC) networks have become increasingly available to educators. They offer the potential to link classrooms worldwide, connect far-flung learners to subject area experts, expose students to places and people that simply can t be reached through traditional field trips, and bring in much-needed supplemental content. Videoconferencing is still very much a growth area in K-12 educationthe costs for systems have come down, their capabilities have grown, and the economics of bringing outside expertise into the classroom have significantly tilted in favor of IVC."

Download or read book Interactive Videoconferencing Course Delivery for Higher Education in Rural Navajo Communities written by Virgil D. Caldwell and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are existing studies regarding the learning styles or learning preferences of students that originate in traditional Native American cultures, there is limited information in the literature regarding the satisfaction of college instruction facilitated by interactive videoconferencing (IVC) methods. The study provided an evaluation of the satisfaction of Navajo college students participating in IVC-delivered courses in two distance learning centers located on the Navajo Reservation. As institutions of higher education move toward access remedies such as IVC to provide learning opportunities in isolated communities, it is significant to understand if the instructional delivery method adequately accommodates the functional aspects for course interaction in a culturally distinct Navajo classroom setting. The study examined the question of whether the efforts of IVC-delivered courses indicate instructional delivery methods satisfactory for a culturally distinct, Native American population in the American Southwest. Student respondent characteristics of prior college experience, gender, and community locations were examined in context to responses of student satisfaction. The results of the statistical analysis indicate overall positive satisfaction by the IVC classroom participants. The quantitative findings did not indicate significant differences between prior college experience and no prior college experience. In addition, there was no significant difference in satisfaction shown by gender of respondents. Also, community location of the respondents did not show significant difference in satisfaction. Some respondent comments did indicate a desire for greater interpersonal interaction with the faculty and a need to improve or stabilize the delivery technology.

Download or read book Distance Education Technologies in Asia written by Jon Baggaley and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Asia, Distance Education (DE) is providing major solutions in the areas of education and training. DE methods that are standard in other parts of the world, however, have yet to demonstrate their full potential in Asia. Covering nine DE projects by 39 researchers from 13 countries, this book analyses the DE scenario in Asia, the successes, the failures and the reasons behind them. This book is a unique collation of the results of studies of educational technologies across an extensive network of Asian countries. It also provides a useful snapshot of DE's development in Asia in the early years of the 21st century. The surveys reported cover different DE contexts, methodologies, and levels of generalisability, and add to the existing scholarship on the subject by providing previously unavailable, firm evidence about DE's prospects in Asia. The contributors give important recommendations that can be translated into practical and political actions to help solve critical socio-economic problems of Asia as well as other parts of the world.
Download or read book E Learning in the 21st Century written by D. Randy Garrison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is currently a technological revolution taking place in higher education. The growth of e-learning is being described as explosive, unprecedented, and above all, disruptive. This timely and comprehensive book provides a coherent framework for understanding e-learning in higher education. The authors draw on their extensive research in the area to explore the technological, pedagogical and organisational implications of e-learning, and more importantly, they provide practical models for educators to use to realise the full potential of e-learning. A unique feature of the book is that the authors focus less on the ever-evolving technologies and more on the search for an understanding of these technologies from an educational perspective. This book will be invaluable for researchers, practitioners and senior administrators looking for guidance on how to successfully adopt e-learning in their institutions. It will also appeal to anyone with an interest in the impact of e-learning on higher education and society.
