Download or read book e Learning Ecologies written by Bill Cope and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: e-Learning Ecologies explores transformations in the patterns of pedagogy that accompany e-learning—the use of computing devices that mediate or supplement the relationships between learners and teachers—to present and assess learnable content, to provide spaces where students do their work, and to mediate peer-to-peer interactions. Written by the members of the "new learning" research group, this textbook suggests that e-learning ecologies may play a key part in shifting the systems of modern education, even as technology itself is pedagogically neutral. The chapters in this book aim to create an analytical framework with which to differentiate those aspects of educational technology that reproduce old pedagogical relations from those that are genuinely innovative and generative of new kinds of learning. Featuring case studies from elementary schools, colleges, and universities on the practicalities of new learning environments, e-Learning Ecologies elucidates the role of new technologies of knowledge representation and communication in bringing about change to educational institutions.

Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Download or read book Imagining the University written by Ronald Barnett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the world, what it is to be a university is a matter of much debate. The range of ideas of the university in public circulation is, however, exceedingly narrow and is dominated by the idea of the entrepreneurial university. As a consequence, the debate is hopelessly impoverished. Lurking in the literature, there is a broad and even imaginative array of ideas of the university, but those ideas are seldom heard. We need, consequently, not just more ideas of the university but better ideas. Imagining the University forensically examines this situation, critically interrogating many of the current ideas of the university. Imagining the University argues for imaginative ideas that are critical, sensitive to the deep structures underlying universities and are yet optimistic, in short feasible utopias of the university. The case is pressed for one such idea, that of the ecological university. The book concludes by offering a vision of the imagining university, a university that has the capacity continually to re-imagine itself.

Download or read book Mixed Race Studies written by Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed race studies is one of the fastest growing, as well as one of the most important and controversial areas in the field of race and ethnic relations. Bringing together pioneering and controversial scholarship from both the social and the biological sciences, as well as the humanities, this reader charts the evolution of debates on 'race' and 'mixed race' from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book is divided into three main sections: tracing the origins: miscegenation, moral degeneracy and genetics mapping contemporary and foundational discourses: 'mixed race', identities politics, and celebration debating definitions: multiraciality, census categories and critiques. This collection adds a new dimension to the growing body of literature on the topic and provides a comprehensive history of the origins and directions of 'mixed race' research as an intellectual movement. For students of anthropology, race and ethnicity, it is an invaluable resource for examining the complexities and paradoxes of 'racial' thinking across space, time and disciplines.

Download or read book Research on University Teaching and Faculty Development written by Olga M. Alegre de la Rosa and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Research on University Teaching and Faculty Development: International Perspectives contains twenty-five solid and powerful chapters treating research aspects that reflect current university issues in ten countries. The book has been written by 60 proficient educators and accredited researchers. They have explored university teaching and faculty development as a field of inquiry that uses qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches for studying almost forty university topics. These themes range from academic planning, accountability, and action research to change in teacher education. The question of a relationship between university teaching and teacher induction is first introduced in the book to train future teachers with techniques and social elements that require a scientific rather than an artistic approach to reflective practices. Eight chapters inquire why some university campuses produce more/better collaborative teaching and change predisposition in higher education. The sort of attempt to discover activeness during teaching practice and to define the nature of the induction year may well provide a path to some basic understanding and offers tremendous research potential into the teaching profession. The second section of the book regards faculty development as an enigma. Written throughout five chapters, it stresses expert-novice studies to make coherent sense out of experience within the faculty. The action research approach is a basic method to studying active teaching/assessment and, accordingly, to an understanding of the forces resulting in the internal consistency of the learning communitys styles and processes. A crucial point is the female perspective at the higher education level that has permeated the culture of justice. The third part of the book contains six chapters of a quality nature. Governments and funding initiatives are focusing on the provision of university leadership development as a vehicle for renewing curriculum and quality assurance. The major beneficiaries of a well-run university change system in higher education are the students and graduates of any age, social and personal condition. New research on student assessment is unique among academic responsibilities in providing a direct linkage between learning activities and quality assurance, strategic decision-making processes. In this respect, how universities interpret inclusive education for students with developmental disabilities, and establishing structural relationships with society are important strategic matters to improve the functioning of the universitys organisation. Technology as an agent of university change is the fourth part of the book. It covers six chapters dealing with the impact of digital technology on traditional academic practices. Students' navigating discourses seem appropriate to enhance university learning because they intersect knowledge, competencies, confidence, information, and communication. The present day routine of Web 2.0 instruments in university teaching includes the use of computer generation and storage, to create and disseminate artifacts of undergraduate and graduate students.
