The document discusses a study on factors associated with internet utilization behavior among students at Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University in India. The study found that for male students, age, marital status, education level, academic achievement, father's education level, medium of instruction, place of living, wish to study abroad, and desire for higher degrees were positively correlated with internet usage. For female students, age, marital status, education level, and place of living were positively correlated, while library usage was negatively correlated. The study provides insights into how personal and family characteristics can influence students' internet behaviors.

RUN: Maths and Science Digital Classroom - Brochure (p.1-35)Mike KEPPELL
Young people considering a career in maths and
science will be fascinated by the Digital Classroom.
The virtual space is designed to inspire young minds
to the endless possibilities offered by a career as a
scientist or mathematician. Via the Digital Classroom,
Year 9 & 10 students will be able to explore the universe,
swim with the whales, discover more about the human
body, get involved with climate change, track Bessie
the cow and make their own cheese! The opportunities
and resources are endless and are available online or,
if internet access is a challenge, as stand-alone resources.
Internationally recognised scientists and mathematicians
based in regional universities around Australia share
their enthusiasm and experience with schools nationally
through the Digital Classroom and love to answer
questions puzzling curious minds.
This document describes an e-safety advocacy project run by Thomas Rotherham College. The project trains college students to deliver e-safety lessons to primary school students. It aims to educate young people about online risks while giving the college students teaching experience. Students undergo training, prepare lesson plans, and teach one-hour lessons at local primary schools. Both the primary students and college students benefit from increased e-safety knowledge and skills. Feedback shows the primary students found the lessons engaging and the college students' skills improved in areas like communication, teamwork and leadership. The project has had a positive impact on digital literacy and online behavior.
The document discusses several "mad ideas" related to education, including creating a virtual department to educate students, focusing on student outcomes like creativity and problem solving, and allowing children to learn independently through open access to the internet without direct teaching. It also references projects like "holes in the wall" that showed children in India could learn on their own this way. The overall theme is that the current education system is outdated and new, "mad" ideas are needed to transform and improve it.
This document discusses the benefits and impacts of digital learning in education. It outlines that digital learning is replacing traditional teaching methods and has helped education continue during the COVID pandemic through distance learning platforms. Some key benefits of digital learning mentioned include personalized learning opportunities that allow students to learn at their own pace, as well as providing abundant information resources for students to access. Digital learning also makes the learning process more engaging for students through tools like animated videos and diagrams. Overall, the document frames digital learning positively as enhancing the learning experience while reducing teachers' workload.

Hrobjartur and SolveiDEVELOPMENT OF ONLINE EDUCAMPS.pptxHróbjartur Árnason
From 2012 to 2019, face-to-face educamps became increasingly popular in Iceland as a method for teachers’ professional development as well as in teacher education (Jakobsdóttir, 2020; Jakobsdóttir et al., 2021). Organisation of technology training workshops as educamps, involve unstructured collective learning experience, reflect social networked learning ideas and could be considered connectivism in action (Leal Fonseca, 2011). Due to the COVID19 pandemic, when teaching and learning moved increasingly online, academic staff at University of Iceland – School of Education (UI) and at the University of Akureyri (UA) decided to experiment with moving this type of event online using Google (docs and sites) and Zoom. In this presentation we will describe the reactions and views expressed by participants of six online educamps attended by hundreds of teachers across Iceland. Participation was open and free. Three educamps were held in spring 2020 (focus on teaching at all school levels) and three in fall and spring 2020-2021 (two focused on university and upper secondary schools and one on primary and lower secondary school level). Participants were invited to complete a survey after each event. The majority thought the online educamps participation had been useful and liked this type of professional development very much. The majority expressed willingness to take advantage of this type of professional development in the future and several were interested in organising online educamps of a similar type themselves. By moving this type of professional development online synchronous sessions, it can be made far more accessible in terms of location and also in terms of time (when sessions are recorded). Technology changes are constant and there is increased need to develop digital competence of learners, teachers and other professional groups. In this regard, online educamps can provide a low-cost and sustainable model in life-long learning. They are here to stay, compliments to COVID!

Overall, the document outlines different approaches for exploring language use through discourse studies.
1. Focus groups can be used in various sectors like marketing, public relations, health services, and social science research to generate insights into attitudes, behaviors, and decision-making processes.
2. Proper research design and planning is required when conducting focus groups. This involves considering the facilitator, setting, participant size and composition, recruitment methods, topic guide, and addressing any ethical issues.
3. Focus groups are best for exploring perspectives and meanings that people ascribe to ideas and experiences. They provide insights into how views are formed and modified in a group context.
This document provides an overview of conducting interviews for research purposes. It discusses the steps involved, which include designing the study, conducting interviews, ensuring quality and ethical standards, and analyzing the data.

Teaching Cloud to the Programmers of TomorrowMike Crabb
This document discusses Robert Gordon University's use of cloud computing in its computer science curriculum. It describes how courses from first year HTML to final year projects utilize cloud servers for teaching web programming and deploying student work. This allows students to focus on coding rather than server maintenance and eases collaboration. Using the cloud improves students' employability by gaining experience with tools like Git and deploying to platforms such as Microsoft Azure. It also benefits lecturers by increasing security, stability and trackability compared to maintaining physical servers. The cloud facilitates research projects through easier code and data sharing between collaborators. However, cloud services require flexibility as no single solution meets all needs.
