Sustainability of Blended Language Learning Programs by Cynthia Nicholas Palikat,Paul Gruba Pdf

This book focuses on the investigation of the sustainability of technology integration in the context of language programs and is based on an 18-month longitudinal study of a blended EAP (English for Academic Purposes) language program situated within a university pathways course. The integration of technology into language teaching and learning in academic English programs often demands substantial investment in professional development, curriculum change, and technological resources. Given the intense effort required, sustainability of such efforts has gained importance, focus, and urgency. Situated in the context of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programs, this book frames, and investigates, the sustainability of technology integration through a series of case studies of specific technologies: tablet devices, a Learning Management System, and an interactive presentation app. The authors explore sustainable integration of technology; the use of argument-based approaches as a basis for research design; and participant ethnography as a form of data collection. The book concludes by looking at the implications of the research and proposes that change management concepts be applied to better introduce, implement, and most importantly, sustain change involving educational technology integration. The content will be of interest to scholars in TESOL and applied linguistics as well as professional language educators who will benefit from insights into sustaining technology integration in their programs.

Open Source Technology: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications by Management Association, Information Resources Pdf

The pervasiveness of and universal access to modern Information and Communication Technologies has enabled a popular new paradigm in the dissemination of information, art, and ideas. Now, instead of relying on a finite number of content providers to control the flow of information, users can generate and disseminate their own content for a wider audience. Open Source Technology: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications investigates examples and methodologies in user-generated and freely-accessible content available through electronic and online media. With applications in education, government, entertainment, and more, the technologies explored in these volumes will provide a comprehensive reference for web designers, software developers, and practitioners in a wide variety of fields and disciplines.

Free and Open Source Software and Technology for Sustainable Development by Sulayman K. Sowe,Govindan Parayil,Atsushi Sunami Pdf

A global collection of experts in social, natural, and human sciences, with contributions from researchers and practitioners in both developing and developed countries, cover the theoretical and practical implications of FOSS technologies. While FOSS development, education, and business potentials may appear as a phenomenon for the developed world, a sizable number of developing countries have implemented FOSS policies of their own. Empirical and anecdotal evidence continues to demonstrate the potential of FOSS technologies for giving people the opportunity to participate actively in the development and shaping of their own technology, stimulating the growth of indigenous software industries, creating local jobs, and lowering technology acquisition and deployment costs.

Collaborative Curriculum Design for Sustainable Innovation and Teacher Learning by Jules Pieters,Joke Voogt,Natalie Pareja Roblin Pdf

This open access book provides insight into what it takes to actively involve teachers in the curriculum design process. It examines different aspects of teacher involvement in collaborative curriculum design, with specific attention to its implications for sustainable curriculum innovation and teacher learning. Divided into six sections, the book starts out by introducing the notion of collaborative curriculum design and discusses its historical and theoretical foundations. It describes various approaches commonly adopted to actively involve teachers in the (co-)design of curriculum materials. Sections two and three provide examples of what key phases in the curriculum design process - such as needs analysis, design and development, and implementation - look like across various collaborative curriculum design projects. Section four reports on the impact of collaborative curriculum design on student learning, teacher practices, teacher professional growth, and institutional change. Building on the research evidence about the outcomes of collaborative curriculum design, section five focuses on sustainability, scaling-up and curriculum leadership issues, which are key to the continuation and further evolution of curriculum innovations. Future perspectives are addressed in section six with emphasis on the infrastructure of a sustainable curriculum innovation.

Recent Trends in Educational Technology and Administration by Srikanta Patnaik,Fred Paas Pdf

The management of an educational system is referred to as educational administration. It includes providing leadership for student education, establishing curriculum, carrying out assessments, and managing people and material resources to reach certain goals. It also includes the management of processes within a school system to ensure specific outcomes are achieved. Moreover, educational administration is critical because it allows schools to present opportunities for students to study. As technological advancements drive digital transformation and globalization, teachers may assist students in acquiring the technological skills needed to succeed in future careers. Also, the significance of integrating technology in education administration is to efficiently reach more students and facilitate customized learning through MOOCs, Virtual classrooms, video courses and augmented reality (AR) etc. It not only helps in imparting education but also helps in monitoring the student performance by collecting respective data. This book approaches Educational Technology & Administration while keeping in view these requirements. It not only identifies the gaps in existing educational policies but also suggests new research directions to make the teaching-learning procedure more efficient, accessible and easier. It further recommends development of new innovative policies, practices and reforms encouraging the scope of experimentation while ensuring quality. This book is targeted towards educators working closely in this field, researchers, policy makers and academic administrators working collaboratively towards the enhancement of the education system.
