This book presents how to keep working on education in contexts of
crisis, such as emergencies, zones of conflict, wars and health
pandemics such as COVID-19. Specifically, this work shows a number
of strategies to support global learning and teaching in online
settings. Particularly, it first presents how to facilitate
knowledge sharing and raising awareness about a specific crisis, to
increase people's safety, including educators and learners. The
book then discusses various techniques, mechanisms and services
that could be implemented to provide effective learning support for
learners, especially in learning environments that they do not
daily use, such as physical classrooms. Further, the work presents
how to teach and support online educators, no matter if they are
school teachers, university lecturers, youth social workers,
vocational training facilitators or of any other kind. Finally, it
describes worldwide case studies that have applied practical steps
to keep education running during a crisis. This book provides
readers with insights and guidelines on how to maintain learning
undisrupted during contexts of crisis. It also provides basic and
practical recommendations to the various stakeholders in
educational contexts (students, content providers, technology
services, policy makers, school teachers, university lecturers,
academic managers, and others) about flexible, personalised and
effective education in the context of crisis.
This book aims at discussing the development of MOOCs in China in
relation to MOOCs in other countries or areas. Based on the history
of MOOCs, we summarize and compare the development of MOOCs in
China and other countries with empirical evidence from a
comprehensive investigation about MOOCs in Asian, United States,
and Europe. Then we discuss about the importance of MOOCs in China
and its role in the reform of higher education system, and the
model of teaching and learning in China. After all, we provide
suggestions about how to improve MOOCs at the national,
institutional, and individual level. In this book, we analyse and
present the current construction and development of MOOCs in China
from four dimensions including platforms, courses, learners,
colleges and universities based on huge empirical evidence from a
comprehensive investigation of 14 platforms, 42 universities, 1388
MOOCs, and 22895 learners. Our investigation mainly focused on
seven topics: platform construction and operation, learner groups,
curriculum organization form, teaching interaction, learning
evaluation model, learning support service, and courses
certification and academic score system. Based on the
investigation, we found there is an emerging trend of collaboration
among government, universities and enterprise in the development of
MOOCs in China, which provides great opportunities to build an
innovative educational service system for all kinds of learners. We
also discuss our findings in relation to the corresponding
development of MOOCs in United States, Europe and other regions and
then focus on the unique challenges that China faces, such as the
lack of deep learning in MOOCs, the low information literacy and
self-regulated learning abilities of MOOC learners, the lack of
individualized support for MOOC learners, and so on. At last, this
book summarizes the overall development of MOOCs in China and other
countries and then put forward the future trends and suggestions in
this field.
Educational Technology is the right couple to a radical innovation.
Thanks to the appropriate technology in the right context with the
best fit to the target audience, education can be drastically
improved, meaning a better performance, competence achievement,
match with the user's expectations and with the market needs.
Serious games, Virtual reality, Augmented reality, Remote labs,
Online learning, Blockchain, Mobile learning and many other key
technologies allow for a better explanation of so many subjects,
and even more: for a complete student involvement and a full
teacher engagement into the educational system. Technology gives
another angle to the same content, provides the user with a
personalised experience and pushes the limits of knowledge a little
further, every time. This book presents a number of radical
innovations through technology, from experienced cases studies, to
be replicated and inspired by; a powerful resource handbook for
cutting-edge education.
Learning Analytics become the key for Personalised Learning and
Teaching thanks to the storage, categorisation and smart retrieval
of Big Data. Thousands of user data can be tracked online via
Learning Management Systems, instant messaging channels, social
networks and other ways of communication. Always with the explicit
authorisation from the end user, being a student, a teacher, a
manager or a persona in a different role, an instructional designer
can design a way to produce a practical dashboard that helps him
improve that very user's performance, interaction, motivation or
just grading. This book provides a thorough approach on how
education, as such, from teaching to learning through management,
is improved by a smart analysis of available data, making visible
and useful behaviours, predictions and patterns that are hinder to
the regular eye without the process of massive data.
This book explores the state of open education in terms of
self-directed learning on the African continent. Through a
combination of conceptual, systematic literature review and
empirical chapters, readers will get a research-based impression of
these aspects in this area. Apart from presenting existing wider
trends regarding open education, this book also reports on
effective open practices in support of self-directed learning.
This book presents how Digital Transformation is a requirement to
upgrade Latin American universities to a next level in management,
lecturing and learning processes and strategies. The book starts
with a thorough introduction of the Latin American context
addressing the three main topics in the book: Digital
Transformation, Higher Education and Artificial Intelligence &
Industry 4.0. They will be depicted by region, with a clear
distribution between Central America & Mexico, Comunidad Andina
(Peru, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia), Mercosur (Argentina,
Brasil, Paraguay and Uruguay), and other countries. The book also
shows how online learning is a key part of the transformation, with
a clear focus on learning management systems, innovation and
learning analytics. Further, personalised services for every single
profile at the university (students, lecturers, academic managers)
are presented to guarantee inclusive education service aggregation
for networked campuses. Following, the book addresses strategy and
overall services that concentrate on sustainability and revenue
models integrated with a strategic planning. Finally a set of
chapters will show specific experiences and case studies of direct
application of Artificial Intelligence and Technology 4.0, where
the readers can learn from and transfer directly into their
educational contexts.
This book provides an archival forum for researchers, academics,
practitioners, and industry professionals interested and/or engaged
in the reform of the ways of teaching and learning through
advancing current learning environments towards smart learning
environments. It facilitates opportunities for discussions and
constructive dialogue among various stakeholders on the limitations
of existing learning environments, need for reform, innovative uses
of emerging pedagogical approaches and technologies, and sharing
and promotion of best practices, leading to the evolution, design
and implementation of smart learning environments. This book also
focus on the interplay of pedagogy, technology and their fusion
towards the advancement of smart learning environments. Â
This book brings together education research and practice carried
out by An-Najah National University, a lead Higher Institution in
Palestine that managed to move from a face-to-face setting to a
fully online learning and teaching environment during the initial
COVID-19 outbreak, within a month, seamlessly, which makes a
success cases study of virtualization. This book concentrates on
approaches to ensure the continuous improvement and quality of
higher education provision across the country, with particular
focus on: a) learning and teaching methodologies in online
settings; b) use of open education as a key resource; and c)
development of academic capability building, along with academic
and knowledge exchange with other higher education partners.
Innovative ideas, best practices, and comparative case studies are
presented, discussed, and compared with international ones to make
specific recommendations for a successful and sustainable
implementation.
