Radiology Lab 5: Head and Neck
Introduction to concepts of imaging of the head and neck region, with focus on angiography and cross-sectional methods.
Augmenting the Discourse of Learning with Computer-Based Learning Environments
Computer tools for learning are often thought of as providing practice in working with symbolic representations. We exemplify a different perspective in which the technology augments the kinds of learning conversations that can take place. Research from the Optics Dynagrams Project illusmates contributions from this perspective. I will describe pre-intervention learning environment characteristics and student learning, our design strategy for new activities and technologies to address problems w
Synthesizing instructional technologies and educational culture: exploring cognition and metacogniti
This research was initiated to examine instructional technologies and educational cultures in relation to identified cognitive and metacognitive strategies uses in school tasks. The project involved activities from the social studies curricula that were presented through two new software programs intended to support the development of problem-solving and reasoning strategies - IDEA [Interactive Decision Envisioning Aid, Pea (76)] Notecards (34) - and through instructional approaches bases upon "

How is agency distributed between tools, students and teachers in technology
In this paper we explore how students’ agency relates to openness and structure within technology-rich, student-centred learning environments. This is done by analysing how students’ understandings of tasks evolve through their activities in relation to the representations in the learning environments. In our interpretation of the sociocultural approach, we emphasise human activity as mediated by artefacts, where the output of the activity has to be understood by including human action and a
Elup Editor Conceptual Guide and User Manual
The eLup editor: elearning Quality Process Editor is based on the conceptual model adopted by the E-Quality project (www.e-quality-eu.org). The purpose of the eLup software is to enable the e-learning professional to structure and document the quality approach used in his/her organisation by making use of the approach and findings of the equality project. The eLup software was developed within Montpellier 2 University. The software is a model editor coupled with a database using Java, MySQL and
COML (Classroom Orchestration Modelling Language) and Scenarios Designer: Toolsets to Facilitate Col
In a one-to-one collaborative learning classroom supported by ubiquitous computing,
teachers require tools that allow them to design of learning scenarios, and to manage and
monitor the activities happening in the classroom. Our project proposes an architecture for
a classroom management system and a scenarios designer tool, both based on a Classroom
Orchestration Modelling Language (COML), to support these requirements. We are
developing and testing this with the GroupScribbles software using a
Sustaining Interaction in a Mathematical Community of Practice
This paper focuses on an activity in which students explore sequences through a game, using ToonTalk programming and a web-based collaboration system. Our analytical framework combines theory of communities of practice with
domain epistemology. We note three factors which influence the length and quality of interactions: facilitation, reciprocation and audience-awareness.
A Mule Spinner Tells the U.S. Senate about Late 19th century Unemployment
Fall River, Massachusetts, mill worker Thomas O'Donnell (who had immigrated to the U.S. from England eleven years earlier) appeared before the U.S. Senate Committee on Education and Labor on October 18, 1883, to answer the panel's questions about working-class economic conditions. An unemployed mule spinner for more than half of the year, he described the introduction of new production methods at the Fall River, Massachusetts, textile factory where he worked as a mule spinner (a worker who tende

ARCADE
ARCADE (Architecture for Reusable Courseware Authoring and DElivery) is a Webbased
e-learning platform specially targeted to the needs of distant education in
universities and schools. This paper presents ARCADE in two aspects: as a system for
distance learning and as a virtual university. The authors put accent on the way of
organization of the education process as a whole while showing the power of the
ARCADE platform. Moreover, there is discussed in details the administration of courses

Futurelab: Social software and learning
This report explores the relationship between the emergence of social software and the personalisation of education. It suggests that there is a changing view of what education is for, with an emphasis on the need for young people to develop the skills necessary for today's evolving global knowledge economy. Alongside this development is the rapid growth of social software, characterised as software that supports group interaction, and by combining these two trends there is significant potential
Literature Review in Learning with Tangible Technologies
When we think of digital technologies in
schools, we tend to think of computers,
keyboards, sometimes laptops, and more
recently whiteboards and data projectors.
These tools are becoming part of the
familiar educational landscape. Outside
the walls of the classroom, however,
there are significant changes in how we
think about digital technologies - or, to be
more precise, how we don’t think about
them, as they disappear into our clothes,
our fridges, our cars and our city streets.

What is Energy?
With an introduction to the ideas of energy, students discuss specific types of energy and the practical sources of energy. Hands-on activities help them identify types of energy in their surroundings and enhance their understanding of energy.
The Missing Teacher: Contradictions and Conflicts in the Experience of Online Learners
A nationwide Swedish distance education programme, SÄL, was offered to adults with previous higher
education studies working as teachers in K-12. A smaller study conducted among this group of students at
Göteborg University, Göteborg, revealed concerns regarding teacher performance online. A follow-up and
larger study using a questionnaire survey was used to reveal possible conflicts and contradictions in the
programme. An analysis suggests that there is a contradiction between how the progra
Utopian Hope and Apocalyptic Religion
Editor's note: The original event recording started slightly after the beginning of the introduction by Professor Lord Meghnad Desai. Where does the utopian impulse in politics originate, and does it have a future? John Gray argues that though they often claimed to be rooted in a scientific analysis of history and society the revolutionary political movements of the past were informed by a utopian vision which derives from religion. Is the age of secular utopianism over, and if so how will relig

La série LA PROPRIÉTÉ INTELLECTUELLE EN 5 ACTES a été conçue comme un outil de pédagogie innovante aux fins de développer la culture de la propriété intellectuelle à un moment où la maîtrise de l’économie de l’immatériel et la compréhension des marchés des savoirs imposent au moins une sensibilisation aux différentes formes de cette matière ardue... Il ne s’agit pas ici de remplacer l’exhaustivité d’un ouvrage complet consacré à la question, ni les vertus d’
L’accompagnement des entreprises lorraines : Acteurs et services
Les premières ”Rencontres lorraines de la propriété intellectuelle” tenues à Metz en mai 2008 avaient été consacrées à la propriété intellectuelle face au défi de la mondialisation.
L’édition 2009 de ces Rencontres, organisée le 6 octobre 2009 à Nancy, s’est concentrée sur la filière « fibres et éco-matériaux », laquelle, que ce soit à travers le bois, le textile, le papier, les composites ou encore les marchés utili

Histoire et dynamiques de l'environnement : l'exemple des Pyrénées
Afin de retracer les dynamiques environnementales et paysagères des espaces montagnards, le chercheur utilise ici une approche pluridisciplinaire convoquant des sources iconographiques historiques, des techniques de palynologie et d’anthracologie, une approche paysagère.
Cette approche multiple, est ici appliquée au massif pyrénéen afin de retracer les relations entre l’homme et le milieu qu’il a façonné pour les besoins d’une production métallurgique.
