Teacher Librarians

Over the past 40 years, the evolution of the computer and Internet Communication Technology (ICT) has enhanced this increasingly information-driven world expanding rapidly. Once people starting to make use of Wi-Fi in communication, they can get information through their digital mobile device whenever and wherever they want. Confronting the rapid changes of ICT and the flooding of information, how to evaluate and select appropriate resources are not only the problems for the educators but also the necessary life-long learning skills for the learners. Moreover, compare with the state of the art learning resources, traditional mode of teaching and learning hardly provoke student’s interest in learning. Thus traditional mode of teaching and learning would hardly stand alone and remain unchanged. To implement e-learning, Government should not only have careful ICT planning and development. However, for the long term development, there should be sufficient funding for schools to acquire, update or upgrade all those necessary hardware and software. Besides that, for educational reforms, educators should be initiative and enthusiastic in understanding more about e-learning. Enhancing effectiveness in teaching and learning, they should think about how to incorporate targets of teaching with the resources and to make use of e-learning in provoking students’ interest and initiative in learning. Nevertheless, innovators encountered many obstacles and problems during the processes of adopting and implementing e-learning. Problems including : How to make use of mobile devices in teaching and learning? How to utilize mobile devices in facilitating learner's participation in learning activities? How to make learning and teaching more interactive? Despite all those problems, the critical one would be that most teachers were not well equipped with sufficient ICT skills. As a matter of fact, e- learning would be the trend and educators could not just keep watching without taking further action. To raise the effectiveness of learning, it is important that educators should be well-equipped themselves with the necessary competences in using mobiledevice and other related electronic applicants in teaching. With our practical experience presented in this paper, we hope to share how a teacher librarian act as a leader in implementing e-learning; to elaborate the strategies promoting collaborative teaching and learning in cross-curricula; to put the roles of “Information specialist” and “Teaching partner” in practice.

The education information delivery system at the MA Alwutsqo school is still being carried out as usual even though the pandemic outbreak in Indonesia is still not over. Because the school does not have a system to support distance learning. By implementing health protocols and teaching and learning time events, students often do not get an understanding of the material presented by the teacher. Learning Management System (LMS) is one of the systems needed by the school. Therefore, the authors designed a website-based E-learning application system with the aim of helping the learning and teaching process at MA Alwutsqo Depok City. The design of this information system uses waterfalls and system development is carried out using the Agile method. The result is that students can download the material that has been delivered and can do the exercises given by the teacher without recommendations by time and space.Keywords:E-learning, Webite, Metode Waterfall, Metode Agile, Learning Management System (LMS).

With the advancements in communications technology brought about by the advent of the Internet and World Wide Web, attention has been drawn to Open and Distance Learning (ODL) as a mode for teaching and learning. In Malaysia, the establishment of ODL universities such as Open University Malaysia (OUM) has expanded the role of ICT in learning and knowledge generation. By leveraging on Internet technology, ODL universities are able to transmit education across the country and even globally. ODL sets about making quality e-learning and e-content more accessible to both facilitators and learners. Utilising this method, new opportunities are continuously created to make higher education more accessible to those who seek to improve and upgrade themselves. This paper examines OUM's practice of using the innovative technology of online learning and teaching to make higher education easily accessible to those that seek it. With greater advancements in technology, the future of higher education may lie more with ODL than with traditional face-to-face learning.

Advancements in educational technology and improvements in the internet’s connectivity has increased the interest of universities in e-learning worldwide. Unlike many institutions around the world, the traditional form of teaching in Albania before the Covid-19 pandemic was face-to-face where both lectures and seminars were attended physically in the classroom. However, the Covid-19 pandemic imposed on them the necessity to move from auditoriums to e-learning immediately without any preparation. This paper aims to investigate the Albanian learners’ attitudes and perceptions of synchronous e-learning during the second semester of the 2019 – 2020 academic year. A survey consisting of 15 questions was distributed to a total of 168 undergraduate and graduate learners in 2 public universities in Albania. Results from the study showed that the learners preferred face-to-face learning over synchronous learning. The lack of motivation, low level of interaction with their instructors and peers, and the feeling of isolation were their main concerns. Meanwhile, the learners appreciated the fact that e-learning helped them to improve their computer and internet skills. It is also less expensive and more comfortable than the traditional mode of teaching and learning.

For the last 4 years, the School of Civil Engineering & Geosciences at Newcastle University, UK adapted mobile devices as learning approach only for undergraduate within Geomatics. All incoming students were given a mobile device as learning tool, which was supposed to be there main way to accessing teaching material. This paper will present how students adopted the mobile devices and how their learning has changed using mobile devices. It will highlight which apps can be used in a Geomatics teaching environment to engage students in their learning and teaching environment. The paper will furthermore look into apps which help students within the area of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, such as the Autodesk 123D catch up or the Remote RDP app to remotely control surveying instrumentations, such as laser scanners. Those apps are easy tools to engage students within digital learning environment which the students are familiar with. The paper will show how students embrace the technology but also current limitation of using those within Higher education establishments, such as sufficient Wifi and student support for using mobile devices.
