This paper will focus on how ICT in the classroom could really work to provide the children the education they need in this 21st century. Learning for children with the use of ICT in the classroom can work if teachers have the ability and skills to integrate ICT in their classroom. This is where the headmasters play a crucial role, if the teachers are supported by the surrounding education system...
Educators are facing the challenge to use the learning potential of games from several complementary objectives. Above all, they need to develop their own competencies and critical thinking on games. The overarching framework for a fruitful answer to this challenge could be structured around a particular type of literacy, the so-called gaming literacy. This new type of literacy seeks to provide a...
As the status quo that rural population is half the population in China, science and technology communication to rural youth, which can lead them to know more about new technic and skills. The paper introduces some science communication and popularization projects for the youth in countryside, such as Rural informal science education project, Intel Learn program and extracurricular scientific activities...
Nowadays, studying knowledge management behaviours has been a hot topic in the field of research on teachers' professional development. KM has always been viewed as an important mission of communities of practice. This paper focuses on elementary and secondary school teachers in "Beijing Dong cheng District's Teachers' Communities of Practice Program (Phase II)", and conducted social network...
The intervention presented in this paper is premised on a theory of change that stipulates that learning outcomes in marginalized communities can be improved by a holistic just-in-time approach with a tight feedback loop that addresses children, parents and the community simultaneously. In this intervention a satellite-enabled traveling van visits a cluster of schools once every two weeks. During...
Academic Medical Centers continually struggle with clinical trials study management. A common approach is the implementation of a Clinical Trials Management System. However, integration of the Clinical Trials Management System with the health system's Electronic Health Record System remains a goal of many institutions. Furthermore, adopting the Electronic Health Record as the primary study management...
The ICTWays Network focuses on the use of ICT to support Science teaching classrooms. After identifying existing hardware and software resources in European schools, existing ICT training procedures for teachers, available software for science teaching and current best practices, the partners are working on the development of a Community of Practice for Teachers, as well as providing local workshops...
The Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp hereby presents the results of two pilot distance learning training programmes, developed under the umbrella of the AFRICA BUILD project (FP7). The two courses focused on evidence-based medicine (EBM): with the aim of enhancing research and education, via novel approaches and to identify research needs emanating from the field. These pilot experiences,...
E-Learning is an important tool for current learning and teaching processes. Learning Objects Repository (LOR) has been seen as a key factor in eLearning and knowledge management environment. Universities in Saudi Arabia have prioritized implementing eLearning in their development plans. However, current learning and teaching process in higher education in Saudi Arabia is still mostly traditional...
This is the first in a new series of Feature Topics on Communications Education and Training that will appear regularly in IEEE Communications Magazine henceforth. It has long been appreciated that successful design, implementation, maintenance, optimization, and improvement of modern communications networks require the efforts of a highly educated, well trained, and dedicated workforce. In recent...
This paper provides an analysis of the role face-to-face residencies play in online, cross-national, graduate degree programs. In 2011, taking a cyber learning approach, the IDPP developed the world's first fully online masters program in international and comparative disability policy, focused on students with disabilities in the ten countries of Southeast Asia. Using this online masters program...
This study describes the complexity and diversities in the process of teacher learning. It examines a harmonious and supporting group learning through the construction of teachers'community of practice. Education reform in the era of knowledge economy requires teachers to be education practitioners, researchers, and innovators. Teacher learning is not only of practical importance but also of theoretical...
The learning process can now be described as targeted joint activities of the teacher and students in the educational environment. Education - a purposeful process of bilateral activities of the teacher and the student in the transfer and assimilation of knowledge. Development of Personal Learning Environment in virtual reality plays the key role.
The conceptual and didactic foundations of education in the safety area, based on the synergetic principles and transdisciplinary techniques of training are considered. The engineering task consists in formation of favorable and safe technosphere for each man. The experience of BMSTU in educational process organization related to personnel training in the safety sphere is presented. The implemented...
A virtual reality simulator can provide a safe environment to practice power wheelchair skills. We developed a virtual community center through an iterative process based on expert user feedback. A team including occupational therapists, researchers and game developers created a first version. Feedback led to a second version, which was evaluated by a larger group of clinicians and young wheelchair...
Goal of this paper is to overview the structure of the Networking Academy program as well as to identify emerging technologies which are supporting the NetAcad program even in content delivery or support of the institutions which are responsible for the content delivery. Besides of the general overview we are sharing best practice in creating collaborative environment.
In particular types of Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN) such as Opportunistic Mobile Networks, node connectivity is transient, and connections are sparse and small in length. For this reason, traditional routing mechanisms are no longer suitable. Routing algorithms designed for such networks try to maximize the probability of successful message delivery. The most popular approach is to compute the probability...
This work addresses a gap in the professional development of engineering faculty: student advising. The development and assessment of the Designated Faculty Advisor program is described, including training components, student and faculty responses, and future plans.
For 20 years, nine institutions in the University of Texas System and five partnering community colleges have collaborated to promote STEM undergraduate research through the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP). The primary programmatic activity of the Alliance is its Summer Research Academy (SRA) which has engaged a total of 1,565 undergraduates. Of these, 242 have been supported...
