Download or read book Online Learning Networks for Pre Service and Early Career Teachers written by Nick Kelly and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we improve support for teachers as they negotiate the pathways into the profession? This books highlights how strong networks of connections with other teachers and with resources have been shown to make a big difference. Online learning networks are one way to help pre-service and early career teachers to foster these connections and the greater community of teachers has an interest in helping new teachers to enter the profession. New technologies have allowed teachers to be connected anywhere, anytime; this book discusses principles for the design and implementation of learning networks that can use this connectivity to improve support for beginning teachers. It addresses foundational principles of types of teacher communities (online and offline), types of knowledge relevant to beginning teachers, the idea of presence within a network and methodologies for studying and nurturing communities of teachers, providing recent examples of each.

Download or read book eLearning for Quality Teaching in Higher Education written by Nan Yang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impact of eLearning on the quality of teaching in higher education, focusing on three main issues: university teachers’ perception of quality teaching, their strategies for achieving quality teaching in practice, and interventions that design and implement online collaborative activities in a large class. The book argues that if eLearning targets the real problems in practice and is appropriately designed and implemented, it can improve the teaching quality at universities. It also demonstrates the complexity of teachers’ perception of quality teaching and contextual factors that affect teaching practice and quality. Further, it explores university teachers’ perception of quality teaching in Italy, the UK and China – an aspect that is rarely addressed in the literature – and reveals why the impact of ICTs on university teaching is not as great as in other fields by explaining the issues that threaten the quality of day-to-day teaching. Lastly, it confirms that traditional lecturing, combined with online collaborative activities, improves the quality of teaching compared to traditional lecturing alone. As such, this book is a necessary and important resource for the research community.

The Higher Colleges of Technology’s General Studies Division, and the HCT-Dubai Women’s campus, hosted the HCT International General Education Conference (online edition) on October 5, 2022, under the theme of Practice and Pedagogy in General Education. General Education, in today’s hyper-connected and virtual world, plays a vital role in providing students with a range of opportunities to develop their abilities to think critically and creatively. This, in turn, fosters an innovative mindset, enriching students’ understanding of the wider social and cultural contexts in which they will live and work. Hence, the discipline of General Education provides students with much-needed breadth and depth of knowledge – from developing mathematical skills to raising awareness of sustainability issues and improving communication skills. The conference organizing committee welcomes higher education scholars, researchers and teachers from around the world to participate in the online, free-of-charge conference, by sharing teaching and learning best practices and techniques, pedagogical delivery and enhancement, current research endeavors and the optimization of student learning and engagement, in an inclusive and collaborative environment that promotes knowledge sharing and exchange, as well as networking and camaraderie. Educators and researchers from across the different academic disciplines within the field of General Education are welcome to attend and share their insights, experiences and expertise to ensure a rich and productive discussion.
