Workshop A

Rapid e-Learning and Developing e-learning materials for classroom teaching

Dr Ray Jimenez
Vignettes for Training, Inc.
Ms Eva Tsang
The Open University of Hong Kong

This workshop aims to equip teachers with the necessary skills to integrate e-learning into regular classroom teaching and to design e-learning courseware on their own. It is hoped that teachers will then be able to develop effective e-learning tools.

The workshop will present examples of e-learning courseware in Chinese, English and Mathematics, the three major subjects in senior primary and junior secondary schools. The relevant concepts and content for these subjects will be clearly presented using multimedia, with interactive exercises to provide stimulation and enhance learning outcomes. Courseware also makes use of interactive learning activities which provide immediate feedback to students to enable them to monitor their own progress.

Workshop B

Applications of Web 2.0 technologies for teaching and learning

Mr Paul McMahon
Learning Solutions Asia Limited

This workshop will feature some technologies being used at university campuses for instruction. It will include a demonstration of how lessons done on an interactive whiteboard can easily be converted into various formats for posting to a blog site, on a VLE (such as WebCT or Moodle) for student access, or by email to absent students.

Applications of additional Web 2.0 technologies will also be demonstrated, such as a solution for making podcasting as intuitive on the Windows platform as Garage Band makes it on the Macintosh platform.

The Qwizdom hand-held voting consoles which are being used in universities in the US and the UK to quickly and easily collect student feedback will also be demonstrated. Collection of such rich data on the fly makes assessment for learning a real possibility.

Workshop A1

Assessment for Learning using ICT -- 'Braincellz'

Mr Mark O'Connell
Greensward College, UK

'Braincellz' is a personalised assessment for learning interface being developed at Greensward College for their new Opening Minds curriculum.

The concept has three components: a PDA used by the teacher to input assessment decisions; a single laptop in the classroom that each student uses to record their own perception of their learning; and a dynamic, flash driven webpage for each student which tracks their progress, targets, credits, and the decisions made by the teacher.

The personalised webpage allows students and parents to monitor progress for every lesson, at any point in time. It also shows how the student is progressing against any pre-set targets. It is aimed specifically at students aged 10-14 and therefore takes on the appearance of a computer game and can be customised using a variety of themed 'skins'.

Although the concept is being developed for the Opening Minds curriculum at Greensward, it could be adopted by any educational institution to engage younger students in their own learning.

Workshop A2

Creating highly engaging scenario-based e-learning (SBL)

Dr Ray Jimenez
Vignettes for Training, Inc.

Scenario-based e-learning (SBL) is designed to help learners experience content through simulated real-life situations using computers and the Internet. SBL helps learners to learn in areas involving judgment, emotion, behavior and decision-making.

The key to creating highly engaging, immersive and effective SBL is to appeal to the primal and emotional instincts of learners. In addition, learners really only learn through stories, because stories bring content into a real-life context. So, in the case of SBL, emotionally charged stories are used which provide learners with opportunities to make decisions, and learn from the consequences of those decisions.

We can say that in SBL, content is ‘embedded’ in stories for learners to discover, rather than being taught or spoon fed to them. It is introduced through the stories’ characters, events, scenes, conflicts and resolutions. SBL becomes particularly engaging when learners are confronted with a conflict that they must resolve, and this is what keeps the story alive and pushes learners to continuously search for options, answers and alternatives.

Some of the techniques used in developing SBL involve identifying characters that can represent content, selecting emotionally charged situations, establishing conversation between characters, introducing conflict through questions and events, and providing feedback such that consequences either encourage learners to make desirable decisions or discourage them from making undesirable ones.

SBL is a valuable learning tool that does not have to be expensive. There are only three types of content which a developer and subject matter experts (SMEs) must teach using SBL: content that if misunderstood could result in great risk or a threat to life; content that if misunderstood could cause constant errors; and content that learners must master in order to perform well on the job and be successful.

Workshop B

Introduction to Shakespeare: Using Kar2ouche (an animation software)

Mr Neil Maxwell and Mrs A M Law
St Paul’s Convent School

This workshop will introduce students to the world of Shakespeare by using the software Kar2ouche. Kar2ouche allows users to interact with Shakespeare’s work by writing their own scripts, designing sets, posing characters, etc. In this workshop, students will perform their scripts and present their animation projects.

Workshop C

E-learning platforms: English Builder, English-4-Us

Mr Clement Chung, Mr Andrew Lai and Ms L Yim
St Paul’s Convent School

This workshop will introduce two online platforms for studying English language:

English Builder is a two-level English e-learning platform which aims at enhancing students’ vocabulary, and speaking and listening comprehension.

English4Us allows users to learn English in a more flexible and active way. Members of english4us.com can evaluate their language ability through doing grammar exercises, playing games, posting essays, etc.

Workshop D

Hear how the digital natives of the English Schools Foundation are using their learning platform and Web 2.0 technology

Mr Peter Woodhead
English Schools Foundation

There is a learning revolution taking place as a result of the rapid development of Web 2.0 technologies and social software. The English Schools Foundation Learning Platform or Connected Learning Community (CLC) is just one example. It’s a student-led revolution in which students are creating new content, sharing new ideas and adding to each others knowledge.

Imagine if we were able to enable the levels of participation that young people demonstrate in their blogs, MySpace, GarageBand, Bebo, Facebook, etc. For the ESF learner this is happening now, and it is transforming the educational landscape in our classrooms.

In the workshop you will be able to see examples of how our students and staff are using the CLC learning platform with Web 2.0 applications (such as Zoho, Flickr, RSS, Slideroll and Furl) to create new ways of learning and new ways of working together. You will also be given a guest account so that you can explore for yourselves.

At the heart of the CLC is the notion of learning communities which connect learners within and across ESF schools and classrooms. The CLC provides a secure educational blogging environment where learners of all ages can collaborate, share and communicate; and where knowledge and understandings are socially
constructed by learning communities working together and with adults in the community.

In this workshop there will be opportunities to discuss and explore the lessons we have learnt from using a learning platform and its implications for how we manage learning in our schools:

• Do learning and schooling mean the same thing?
• Can knowledge and expertise reside solely within schools and classrooms?
• How do we build systems that enable people to help themselves rather than do things for them?
• How do we ensure that managed learning environments are more than digital repositories?
• How do we lead and manage learning when students can access their learning anywhere, anytime?

Participation in virtual networks is not necessarily productive, and the dangers are already evident. Join in discussion about the need to establish a new approach to information literacy, in which students learn how to join and build networks, learn the new protocols and learn how to use networking tools.

Workshop E
