Teacher Traning

The article presents an approach applied in the online training of pre-service teachers to acquire digital competence. The content of the concept of ‘digital competence’ in its sustainable and variable component is clarified. The understanding of ‘augmented reality’ to e-learning objects is presented. Two forms of ‘augmented reality’ have been proposed to visualize video information to a clarified concept. The first one is presented via a QR code for quick access and applicable for mobile learning. The other is provided by icons and is applicable to e-learning with a computer. It is believed that ‘augmented reality’ can differentiate students’ online learning according to the field-dependent and field-independent cognitive style and their preferences on the use of different digital learning devices.

The Impact

Most studies on reusable digital learning materials, Learning Objects (LOs), relate to their use in universities. Few empirical studies exist to explore the impact of LOs on pedagogy, especially in schools. This chapter provides evidence from an evaluation of the use of LOs in schools. The evidence is from an EU-funded project Context E-Learning with Broadband Technologies, involving 500 schools in six countries across Europe, to examine the impact of LOs on pedagogy. It brought together producers and users to try out technically and pedagogically sound ways of producing, making available through a portal, and using LOs. This chapter reports data from both quantitative and qualitative studies conducted during 2004, including: online surveys (of all the teachers involved), routine data from the portal, semistructured interviews in 40 schools in all six countries, experimental studies in one of these countries, and 13 classroom case studies in four of the countries.

The training of students - future teachers in Informatics and Informational Technologies is a responsible and multi-layered task. It requires future teachers to use the modern digital technologies providing the digital competence required by national and European standards; to know the current and perspective features of modern young people; to be skillful at software tools for creating electronic learning objects so that they can create effective blended learning in accordance with the generally accepted ergonomic and didactic aspects of pedagogical psychology; to apply digital training methodologies for training in computer science subjects; to define, research and find solution to scientific problems in their pedagogical practice.Changes in the characteristics of modern pupils that characterize them as a ‘Digital Generation’ genuinely generate the need for interactive e-learning, mobile and blended learning, especially in the field of computer sciences. Considering these facts parallel changes in the taxonomy of learning objectives have also emerged - from classic to revised to digital.To explore the problem of synchronizing the training of future teachers in Informatics and Informational Technologies in line with the dynamics of the learning objectives taxonomy, we use the following methods: we clarify the concepts of ‘blended learning’, ‘e-learning’, ‘m-learning’ and ‘electronic learning object’; we review the characteristics of the digital generation; we follow the evolution in the taxonomy of learning objectives; we clarify the levels of interactivity that are achieved when creating e-learning objects for blended learning implementation; we offer digital instrumentation and authoring tools that students acquire to create electronic learning objects for the high cognitive levels of Bloom's digital taxonomy - evaluation and creation.In conclusion, we comment on the advantages of being skillful at the toolkit for creating electronic learning objects of varying degrees of interactivity and suitable models for their inclusion in the Informatics and Information Technology teaching units in the implementation of blended learning.

Digital Learning Objects

This chapter focuses on a multi-institutional shared curricular-build project (2009) out of Kansas State University, Johnson County Community College, Kansas City Kansas Community College, and Dodge City Community College. This project involved the building of a range of digital learning objects for modules for an online course that will be taught at the various institutions in both online and hybrid formats. This collaboration is unique in that it brought together experts from cross-functional domains (from both the empirical sciences and the humanities) for an interdisciplinary freshman level course. The team collaborated virtually through computer mediated communications and built e-learning based on instructional design precepts. The curriculum was built to the standards of the public health domain field, the Quality Matters™ rubric (for e-learning standards), federal accessibility guidelines, intellectual property laws, and technological interoperability standards (with the curriculum to be delivered through four disparate learning / course management systems). This chapter focuses on the socio-technical structuring of a local virtual work ecology to support this “Pathways to Public Health” project.

Online education requires careful thinking about how students and teachers are equipped to change traditional education to the new digital technology requirements. Digital learning management systems, communication tools and e-learning platforms play a crucial role in the new conditions of online learning. Programs and applications can help learning providers manage, plan, deliver, and track learning. Teachers, in addition to specialized skills in the field of teaching subjects, are presented with new skills of knowledge and management of digital tools. Digital competence is one of the eight key competences, materializing in the confident and critical use of the entire range of information and communication technologies for information, communication and problem solving in all areas of life. The use of digital technologies and living speech, represents a whole didactic creation, which individualizes the presented discourse to become an art in shaping the souls of the young generation.

Supporting quality e-learning in an institution of higher education is a non-trivial task. This challenge stems from the complexity of online learning with a mesh of laws (such as intellectual property and accessibility ones) and policies that undergird the foundational level of quality. There are the ever-evolving technological challenges—of technological learning platforms, digital learning objects, authoring tools, multimedia, the Internet, and the Web. In an academic environment which emphasizes academic freedom, there are few levers to motivate quality—except through faculty-imposed standards, funding mechanisms, quality endorsements, or other incentives. The variance in learning domains may make a shared concept of quality more elusive and likewise variant. Professional subject matter experts and faculty members have different preferences and standards as well, and their choices of teaching methods will vary. Learner expectations affect the concept and perception of quality. The normal constraints of resources, budget, time, knowledge, and skills, also apply as potential challenges to a friction-free development of quality e-learning. This chapter uses the instructional design framework to reflect on practical ways to support quality e-learning.

Digital Learning Resources

Institutions of higher education have strategies on digitization and the use of digital learning resources for their teaching in place. One initiative from the university libraries aiming to operationalize such strategies is a three-year Nordplus project that was completed in the autumn of 2019. The libraries at Aarhus University, Lund University and the University of Bergen have worked together on the development of e-learning objects, and their implementation and evaluation. The aim of the project was to develop the library's teaching of information literacy in a co-creation between libraries, the academic community and students. This article will shed light on the prerequisites that must be met for competency development among participants in a project to take place. We present relevant research and literature, and take a closer look at the project's activities and processes. In the analysis we discuss our experiences in relation to the literature presented, and we conclude, among other things, that participating in a project is engaging and enhances quality in learning processes. We also believe that collaboration in a wider academic network for educational librarians in the future will contribute to a stronger and clearer position as an educational actor for Nordic libraries in higher education.
