Educational Conditions

As access to the Internet grows, educators are defining how to use its resources for classroom instruction, alternative education models, and as an instructional tool that supports student learning and achievement. The Center for Urban Youth and Technology (CUYT) has developed a design model that introduces educators, teachers, and students to hypermedia and the Internet. The basis for the CyberHood initiative is a concern about the economic and educational conditions in urban cities and a belief in the potential of technology to support and improve the same. Working collaboratively with an Internet web company (the Aframian World Enterprises) and a school-to-work program (Youth Construction Initiative Program) at the University at Albany, our research focused on development of an educational hypermedia model for instruction and design.

The objective of the NSF RET (Research Experiences for Teachers) site program hosted by the University of Central Florida is to provide K-12 teachers with a hands-on engineering design experience covering all aspects of the Internet of Things, from the manufacturing of a sensor, to the hardware and software that allows it to connect to the Internet. This program gives teachers learning opportunities to explore the practical use of science for engineering applications, and provide a context in which students in their classroom can test their own scientific knowledge as they recognize the interplay among science, engineering and technology. The uniqueness of this site program lies in the engagement of teachers in various facets of scientific, engineering, and educational methods based on Train-the-Trainer model with rotation in multiple research labs. In order to support the STEM educational services for teachers and students in middle and high schools, our site program aims at creating competent teacher trainers who ensure quality pre-service and in-service teacher education, by providing multidisciplinary experiences that are relevant to the current technical development. Teachers in the adjacent public school districts are primary participants in this site program. Significant efforts have been made to recruit teachers serving underrepresented student populations, and female and minority teachers who can reach out to them. In our RET site program, the participants rotated to four different laboratories with a 1.5–3 week residency in each, where they learned about the practice of engineering in various disciplines at the research laboratories on the university campus under the guidance of faculty and graduate mentors. The teachers presented their learning outcomes in the final week and were invited back to share their educational implementation experiences in their classes. This site program provided teachers with interdisciplinary engineering design experiences relevant to innovative technical development, and helped them develop teacher-driven teaching modules that can be deployed in the classroom.

As per the Merriam Webster dictionary, the definition of the distance learning is - “It is a method of study where teachers and students do not meet in a classroom but use the Internet, e- mail, video conference, audio conference mediums of the study. The assessments and doubt clearing also happen online and still there are some planned face to face interaction programs with the students.” In the late 1900s, correspondence courses started coming into the picture. These courses were mainly introduced for the working professionals and for the people who wish to go for competitive examinations as travelling to the university is difficult if it is far off. This is to enhance the access and reach for the learners. Many of the tutorial companies and coaching centers also use distance learning model to cater to the needs of IIT JEE/Civil services aspirants in India. However, distance-learning courses have much better acceptance in the western countries. In Europe and America, they have wider acceptance and several studies done have proven the need of the distance courses and the perception of the people about the distance courses is really good.

Simultaneously with the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and the introduction of a distancelearning format throughout Russia, the process of working with teachers and students to adapt them in thedigital environment is continuously ongoing. This process fully affected the Altai Territory, where the roleof the flagship of higher education was given to the Altai State University. Since the beginning of the 2020pandemic, the university has actively engaged in the field of distance learning and began to apply digitalmethods of communication with students. Dozens of scientific and practical conferences were held in anonline format, which made it possible to significantly smooth the process of adaptation to the new digitalsphere for both teachers and students.Accordingly, the increase in knowledge about the digital world has prompted interest in digitaltechnologies and their adaptation for the needs of criminology, which is directly involved in the analysisand forecasting of countering cyber terrorism. It is expected that the increased involvement of teachers inthe digital environment will lead to an increase in legal education and the youth they teach.Young people who are an active user of the Internet and, in this regard, are the object of onlinerecruitment into terrorist and extremist organizations, are interested in gaining knowledge about counteringsuch actions.To confirm the theses put forward, we carried out a criminological study of the degree of involvementof students and teachers of the Altai Territory in counter-propaganda activities in the context of partiallyremote interaction. In this article, we reflect the main results of our work.

Personalised Feedback

AbstractThis contribution reports on the developing and piloting of a computer-based version of the test of English as a foreign language produced by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), where it is currently used for the admission of international students and the subsequent evaluation of their language progress. Among other benefits, computer-based testing allows for better and individualised feedback to both teachers and students, and it can provide a more authentic test experience in light of the current digital shift that UK universities are undergoing. In particular, the qualitative improvement in the feedback available for test-takers and teachers was for us a crucial factor. Providing students with personalised feedback, that is, directly linked to their performance, has positive washforward, because it means we can guide their future learning, highlighting the areas they need to work on to improve their language skills and giving them suggestions on how to succeed in academia. Furthermore, explaining the meaning of test results in detail improves transparency and ultimately washback, as teachers can use the more accessible marking criteria, together with information on how their students performed, to review plans and schemes of work for subsequent courses.

AbstractA learner-centred approach puts students amidst the learning process and helps them become involved in that process. It provides an opportunity for students to choose and direct the course of the lesson. This approach is especially appropriate when dealing with ethical concerns that might be sensitive issues. When it comes to the sources for the development of teaching materials, the Internet provides numerous possibilities. Not only does it enable students to choose from a wide variety of topics but it also offers, for both teachers and students, a chance to develop their own up-to-date materials through which students improve their language skills. Nonetheless, teachers can help their students to become more autonomous and develop strategies for lifelong learning. The aim of this article is to provide ideas on materials development for teaching English as a foreign language to students of medicine and health studies and to link theory and practice in the Slovak context. Specifically, it focuses on how topics in medical ethics, such as organ transplant and euthanasia, could be taught by emphasizing the learner-centred approach. Involving the student in the learning process and using the Internet as an easily accessible source enables students to develop their skills and strategies, which will help them become more autonomous, and thus develop their confidence in dealing with authentic English outside the classroom.
