This document outlines the course overview, model, and learning approach for a class on creative teaching techniques and multimedia utilization. It will use a modified project-based learning model where students will explore resources and applications, complete independent blog posts and lesson revisions, and develop a working knowledge of technology's role in education. The document discusses how project-based learning engages students in problem-solving, decision-making, and designing through long-term, cross-curricular learning activities that incorporate feedback and result in public presentations. Technology is presented as a way to foster critical thinking and support memorization through various tools, games and online resources.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework based on cognitive neuroscience that provides flexibility in how information is presented, how students respond or demonstrate knowledge and skills, and how students are engaged. The goal is to meet the needs of all learners by reducing barriers in instruction. UDL principles include providing multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement. Examples of applying UDL include using technology, varied instructional methods, and considering how different brain networks process information.
This document provides an overview of HyFlex teaching and learning at Middlesex Community College.

2021_03_26 "The 7Cs of Learning Design" - Gráinne ConoleeMadrid network
This document outlines a workshop on learning design using the 7Cs framework. It introduces transformative technologies, discusses challenges, and provides an overview of learning design and the 7Cs approach. The workshop includes activities to conceptualize a course, create materials, facilitate communication and collaboration, assess learning, and consolidate the design. Participants are guided to develop course features, personas, resource audits, maps, profiles and storyboards. The goal is to create pedagogically informed designs that make appropriate use of technologies.
This document describes a study applying the Pedagogical Infrastructure Framework to plan and evaluate a course called "Edutech Bootcamp" for teacher trainees. The framework divides pedagogical design into 4 components: technical, social, epistemological, and cognitive. The course aimed to familiarize trainees with educational technologies through hands-on sessions. After the course, student feedback and facilitator observations were analyzed using the framework to identify areas for improvement, such as the cognitive component. Overall, the framework provided a useful structure for course planning and evaluation, though the teachers' experience was more important than the model alone.

Case of Learner-centred, project-based courseEsko Lius
This document describes phenomenon-based learning, which combines project-based and inquiry-based learning around authentic topics. It uses the example of a phenomenon-based project on the topic of "Welfare State" for upper secondary students in Finland. Key aspects include:
- Curriculum areas are combined and learning extends into the community
- The focus is on individually important topics, not set curriculums
- For the welfare state topic, students explored concepts personally and in online discussions, with support from teachers and experts
- Students produced individual projects like "Single-parenthood in Finland" and shared learning outcomes, with peer discussion and assessment
- The approach motivated students and generated deep learning, though it requires more
The document discusses objectives and assessment for project-based learning. It provides examples of objectives that focus on improving critical thinking and problem solving skills. Objectives should be clear and discussed with participants. Assessment should be based on the objectives and can involve self-assessment, peer assessment, observation, and questionnaires. Key factors in choosing a project topic include curricular goals, students' interests and knowledge, competencies, resources, and external support.
ICT in education: Setting criteria for the pilot schoolsEsko Lius
This document discusses criteria for selecting pilot schools to test ICT technologies in education. It defines an ICT pilot as the small-scale implementation and evaluation of an ICT project before broader adoption. The document outlines that pilot schools should provide a representative sample of different situations to properly test the technology. It also stresses that objectives, timeframe, sample size, team, budget, and monitoring and evaluation plans must be defined for the pilot. A spearhead or leading adopter approach is also described where some schools pioneer the technology and act as models for other schools to follow.
ICT in education: examples of supporting the teachersEsko Lius
The document discusses four sources of support for integrating information and communication technology (ICT) into education: 1) Ministry and education agencies provide websites to support teacher ICT skills and school culture change, 2) Municipalities provide support materials, 3) Schools collaborate on ICT pilot projects supported by education agencies, 4) Students produce learning materials. Research shows that ICT pilot schools have led to true changes in teaching practices when teachers have strong ICT-related pedagogical competence.
ICT in education: transformation, not substitution (update 06-22-14)Esko Lius
This document discusses issues related to developing effective ICT (information and communications technology) policies in education. It emphasizes that ICT should transform learning rather than just substitute old tools. It also notes that ICT policies must address multiple facets, including teacher competencies, learning materials, equipment, and motivation of students and teachers, as well as links to other national policies. The document recommends sources for developing criteria for ICT in education pilot programs and policies.
Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

Blended Learning
Face to face driver – Teacher drives the instruction and augments with
digital tools.
Rotation - Students cycle through a schedule of independent online study
and face-to-face classroom time.
Flex - Most of the curriculum is delivered via a digital platform and
teachers are available for face-to-face consultation and support.
Labs - All of the curriculum is delivered via a digital platform but in a
consistent physical location. Students usually take traditional classes in
this model as well.
Self-Blend - Students choose to augment their traditional learning with
online course work.
Online Driver - All curriculum and teaching is delivered via a digital
platform and face-to-face meetings are scheduled or made available if
necessary.
