Introduction Digital learning is defined as learning through digital devices such as computers, tablets, or smart phones over the Internet. It is also known by other names, such as virtual learning, online learning, e-learning, distance learning, or continuing education. Digital learning was first introduced as “Computer Assisted Learning Center” in 1982 [1]. The first online course was introduced by “Computer Assisted Learning Campus” in 1994, in which students can take courses over the web [1]
Introduction As online learning and training continues to grow, there are many companies that have developed products to support asynchronous and synchronous learning within the online world. This paper is a comparison of two of these products: BlackBoard, an asynchronous technology, and Elluminate Live, a synchronous technology. In the scope of this analysis, the general aspects, the technological and pedagogical views, and the strengths and weaknesses of these two products will be examined
around the world. The Open University (OU) UK, which is one of the members of the OpenCourseWare Consortium, launched OpenLearn in 2006 as part of its initiative to provide free educational materials for learners worldwide. OpenLearn runs under the Moodle open-source learning management system. Similar to a real online course from a university, people can access OpenLearn on their personal computer and/or laptop. A wide range of subject areas are available for the visitors to choose and study on their

Exploring Online Communities First language, then print, and now telecommunications allow us to link thoughts and form communities, or groups based on common interests or common localities. However, in the not so distant past of the pre-virtual reality and pre-telecommunications age, community was the place where people lived, worked or played. For most of human recorded history, community was close to home and place dependent. Nowadays, cyberspace exists and permeates the 'real' world in
software used at Bergen Community College. Ellucian is linked to internal databases, such as; Student Planning, Moodle, Banner, Blackboard and SharePoint. In researching open source higher education databases I found five of the many open source databases that are available to higher education institutions. They are: 1. Courseware 2.5, -OS 2. Manhattan Virtual Classroom 2.1, -OS 3. Moodle 1.1.1,-OS/WIN 4. Whiteboard 1.0.2-OS 5. ATutor 1.3-OS Open source software is an important component of today’s
Albert Einstein once said, “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” Technology is a controversial topic, some say we are depending in excess from gadgets and devices. However, if it wasn’t for technology we wouldn’t be able to experience many benefits. Life in the modern world is difficult now because of technology has taken up most of our time. It can make us feel lonely and disconnect with reality. As we spend much time on the internet, such as web surfing
Response to Intervention (RtI) 4) How do you (or will you) implement RtI into your classroom? Response to Intervention application “includes a combination of high quality, culturally and linguistically responsive instruction; assessment; and evidence-based intervention” (Shapiro, 2008, p.1) Implementation of RtI will play a part to the meaningful recognition of learning and behavioral problems, enhance instructional characteristics, provide all students with equitable opportunities to thrive in
student creativity and away from the traditional sit-and-get (Cleaver, 2014). Planning for 90 minute lessons provides ample time to properly blend technology into a traditional Biology classroom. Allowing students to review lab procedures from a Moodle site and participate in an online blog discussion with their peers as a homework assignment will increase the fluency of the procedure and enhance the in-class, hands-on portion of the experiment (Fuhrman, 2014) Assessments can also be administered

Everyone wants something, and no one plans on stopping until they get it. Whether it is religious freedom, wealth, safety, we all strive for one thing— opportunity. That is the epitome of the American dream in the society that we live in today. However, as our country has evolved, so has the perception of the dream. In “The Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller, we can find a similar theme. Each character in the play represents the evolution of the dream through the years. For instance, Willy Loman
from the ProQuest, AUB Library. In fact, I tried to improve my writing style to provide the highest quality in order to serve a purpose. I fully content knowing that setting short term goals will produce long term effects. For example, Wiki on the Moodle was a low cost solution for a successful e-learning. By reading various articles, I figured out a new enrichment in the vocabulary and a deeper understanding for the connotations of the various topics we covered such as attitudes towards gossip, bullying
One of the greatest public health challenges confronting Australia and many other industrialised countries is the obesity epidemic. Australia is one of the most overweight developed nations, with one in four children being overweight or obese. (Moodle et al., 2009) The prevalence of overweight and obesity is higher among Indigenous young people, based on self- reported height and weight information. Indigenous young people aged 15–24 years were more likely to be overweight or obese than non-Indigenous

This includes the type of nourishment, care, surroundings and stimulation the foetus or infant receives.(moodle,2017) Neuroscience helps us understand how a baby’s brain develops from birth .(moodle,2017)Neuroscience helps us understand that what we do with our babies matters as much as how we interact with them. It influences adults to become more self-aware and self-reflective about how we
At the end of sophomore year I was stuck between honors English and AP. I knew that I would be able to keep an A all year in honors but I wanted a little bit more of a challenge, so I chose AP. I heard from many people while signing up for classes that junior year was going to knock us on our butts. I never for a second thought that junior year and the classes would be any different than the rest. At the end of yet another year, I have realize that junior year was a constant struggle of turning assignments
I. Opening Statement (2 points) Big Question: Is the use of technology in the Digital Age beneficial or detrimental to the overall learning experience of students? Thesis statement: With the growing usage of technology seen in today’s students, the integration of physical and digital technology, online learning and social media in the classroom create a collaborative and user friendly environment; for students to share, learn, communicate and grow together. II. What I Learned
As children work their way up through the education system one of the most important aspects they are taught is attendance. But why is attendance so important? A study done by David Romer proved that attendance had a significant impact on student’s performances. (Romer 1993, p. 167–74), recorded the attendance of students that were involved in his large, macroeconomics course. He found that the t-statistic on attendance was a 6.2; this implied that a student who attends only a quarter of the lectures

Most of my attention is directed at advising students and ensuring students take the correct courses so they graduate on time. The second arduous job related function involves keeping students within the Criminal Justice Program engaged in the coursework and not succumb to quitting because they feel the work is difficult, or they become disinterested in some aspect of the coursework. I accomplish both of the above tasks through current assignments that captures realistic work the students would
