This document discusses the benefits and challenges of Open Educational Resources (OER). The benefits include cost savings for students, fostering collaboration among faculty, allowing continuous improvement of materials, and increasing accessibility globally. However, challenges exist around ensuring academic integrity and quality of resources given the lack of formal review processes. Additionally, long-term sustainability and accessibility concerns arise due to potential shutdowns of repositories or lack of incentives for creators to update OER over time.
Susanne Voelkel: How diverse are our students, and what can – or should – we do about it? Slides from the University of Liverpool Learning and Teaching Conference 2009.
We all know that not all students are the same. But do we really know what exactly their differences are, and, more importantly, do they matter? Using the example of a 2nd year course in Biological Sciences, this study investigates some of the important differences between students and how they might affect their performance. I will analyse inherent factors such as age and gender, as well as pre-existing learning experiences (at University as well as School) and discuss the influence the latter might have on learning attitude and motivation. The study also looks into some methods that could help engage a wider range of students, including various forms of self-assessment, in-class as well as on VITAL (e learning).
Online Information Literacy Training: Recipe for SuccessShannon D. Jones
The document summarizes an online information literacy training course created by librarians at Virginia Commonwealth University. [1] It was developed using the Blackboard learning management system to provide library instruction and resources to distance and non-traditional students. [2] The course modules were organized according to the Association of College and Research Libraries' information literacy standards and included content on database searching, evaluating sources, and citing materials. [3] Usage data found that the "Explore Databases" module saw the most interaction from enrolled students.
The document discusses the establishment of the CHED Journal Accreditation Service (JAS) in the Philippines. JAS aims to implement uniform peer review standards for journals published by higher education institutions. It will accredit journals that meet evaluation criteria such as having an editorial board composed of recognized research experts, a refereeing system where manuscripts are reviewed by at least two experts, and regular publication schedules and formatting standards. The goal is to ensure high quality and integrity across university journals in the country.

One challenge of distance education is the lack of opportunities to meet synchronously. Text chats and one-way lectures have been used, but they lack the dynamics and flexibility that make two-way exchanges effective. Systems such as Adobe Connect have been used successfully to bring students and instructors “face to face”. Many are familiar with using these systems for virtual lectures and discussions but Clemson University faculty, technology consultants and trainers have extended Adobe Connect in a number of ways to enhance teaching and support:
* On-line class meetings, study sessions and office hours
* Group collaboration on class projects
* Live discussions among support staff in resolving issues
* Screen-sharing to support and train faculty remotely
* Recording and critiquing support staff’s contacts with faculty
* Webinars for “desktop training”
In this session we will see how far you can go with the new generations of live meeting places.
