Editor's Notes

  • #2: Each student brings their own experiences and learning ambitions to class…every class has inspirational moments…all teachers are innovators…but how can learners make sense of the disparate and varied experiences, and how can instructors support them effectively? This talk will show how we can connect: Learners with other learners Learners with their tutors Learning spaces Learning experiences
  • #3: We are also moving beyond islands of innovation by collaborating today. We met whilst I was visiting Iceland and found we had a shared passion for improving the learning experience. Introductions…
  • #7: The physical disconnect also impacts on the pedagogical practices we are using. Technology has a part to play in sometimes creating the disconnect, but also in connecting, especially through the use of digital tech to improve connections, access to content, and analyse learning behaviours.
  • #8: The problem we have arrived at is that our technology and learning have become disconnected…
  • #9: http://www.leedsgrenville.com/en/invest/ouruniqueadvantage/bridges.asp
  • #13: The core analogy used in the NGDLE paper is that each component of the learning environment is a Lego brick: The days of the LMS as a "walled garden" app that does everything is over. Today many kinds of amazing learning and collaboration tools (Lego bricks) should be accessible to educators. We have standards that let these tools (including an LMS) talk to each other. That is, all bricks share some properties that let them fit together. Students and teachers sign in once to this "ecosystem of bricks." The bricks share results and data. These bricks fit together; they can be interchanged and swapped at will, with confidence that the learning experience will continue uninterrupted.

  • #20: Student body changing, enrollment is peaking again, adding new degrees police studies  
  • #21: UNAK is important for sustainability in rural areas, our research has shown that students are more likely to live in a rural area 5 years after graduation if they were distance students compare to students that moved to the capital to study. Student body changing, enrollment is peaking again, adding new degrees police studies  ​ Our research has shown that students in distance learning tend to stay in the rural areas, compare to the studnet
  • #22: With growing numbers of distance learners, and the universities more unique role as the distance/flexible learning university there has been more support with teachers development specifically in terms of how to accommodate the increasing number of distance students   Our main objective is to provide professional assistance to faculty members at the University of Akureyri in all aspects of teaching, both consultation and development. We offer specialized consulting in a wide range of areas to help teachers evolve their teaching methods with an emphasis on information technology and pedagogy. In charge of equipment in classrooms and staff work stations.   
  • #23: Unak has been growing in number of students and in distance students, and since we are the leading distance university In Iceland. The expectations and demand for good teaching have been high. Also with the new established T&LC We have been moving away from •Not just uploading slides or lecture online, one way direction •Only one form of media –recorded lectures 5170 recordings 2016 •Mandatory session at the learning centers, more flexibility but mandatory sessions on campus 1-2 per semester •To support flexible learning --(question John asked before) we have been designing new spaces that support communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking instead of designing spaces that fit the mould we’ve used so many times before.  •Consistency and úthald—ekki gefast upp after the first try, students also need to adjust to the change, some of them are used to be feed and they want that Róbótana.. Social presence and Embodiment-- with the robots, changing space both online and also on campus
  • #26: Not just uploading slides or lecture online, one way direction To support flexible learning
