Evaluating the use of iPads by first-year Medicstbirdcymru
This presentation, for the EFQUEL EIFLINQ2014 Conference in Crete, discusses the University of Leicester School of Medicine programme of giving first-year students an iPad, and the ongoing evaluation of how students use the iPads in learning. By Mark Hamilton, Grainne Conole, and Terese Bird
1) The document discusses transformative uses of iPads that the presenter has observed at their school, including using iPads for textbook consumption, note-taking, calculations, and report-writing.
2) The presenter outlines strengths and weaknesses of using iPads versus laptops and discusses strategies for workflow between devices like using iCloud Drive and AirDrop.
3) Several use cases are provided, such as substitutions where iPads replace other tools, and transformations where iPads enable new possibilities like blogging, photo/video, and textbook authoring.
The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using iPads and iPods in the classroom. It notes that they can increase student engagement but are still new technologies that teachers are learning how to use effectively. The document also provides examples of how the devices have been used, such as for reading, publishing books, and math workstations. A study at Abilene Christian University found that iPads increased class participation and student involvement. However, the document concludes that digital textbooks alone are not yet ready to replace printed textbooks due to cost and a lack of interactive features.
An e-learning classroom offers several benefits for students including promoting independent learning, developing higher-order thinking skills, and providing global learning opportunities through increased access. Students have choice in what tools and materials they use to complete activities. E-learning curriculum and assessments look similar to a traditional classroom, but students have access to more digital tools like Google Docs, Mathletics, and iPads to demonstrate their learning. The classroom is equipped with devices like iPads, laptops, cameras and interactive whiteboards to facilitate digital learning.
This document discusses the evolution of technology use at a Jesuit high school over recent years, moving from computer carts to leasing iPads to a BYOD model. It outlines the goals and challenges of each approach. The school initially had computer labs and carts of iPads and laptops, but faced high maintenance and replacement costs. It then leased 1600 iPads over two years, but incurred costs from device damage and upkeep. A BYOD model introduced equity issues. The document argues that true transformation requires accepting disruption, expecting systemic change, and recognizing the human element of change rather than technology itself.

Don't Be a One and Done: Creative Ways to Use Multiple Apps Matt Bergman
This document discusses using multiple apps together in "recipes" to address learner variability and provide scaffolds and supports. It begins by noting the prevalence of mobile devices and tablets in education. It then provides examples of "recipes" that combine apps in different ways to enhance vocabulary learning, note taking, assessment, creative introductions to concepts, reading comprehension, writing, and test preparation. The overall message is that using only one app per lesson takes a "one and done" approach that does not address diverse learner needs, and combining strategic uses of multiple apps can help all students learn.
Putting students in the SADL: keynote paper at HEA Changing the Learning Land...Maria Bell
Keynote by Jane Secker and Maria Bell, presenting the findings of the LSE Student Ambassadors for Digital Literacy (SADL) project at HEA Changing the Learning Landscape Digital Literacy workshop at LSE, 7 May 2014
This document summarizes research on e-textbooks and students' perceptions of reading digital texts. It finds that student performance does not differ between print and e-textbooks, and that e-textbook features like annotation and linking can enhance learning. However, some students still prefer print for comfort and to avoid distraction. The study discussed found that after using an e-textbook, more students preferred it due to benefits like searchability, note sharing, and linked definitions. Still, many students cited issues like eyestrain and a lack of physical interaction with the text. The document stresses the importance of teaching students strategies for focused reading in digital formats.
This document summarizes a presentation given at the Innovations in Online Learning 2012 conference in San Antonio, Texas. It discusses how three librarians at the University of Texas at Arlington redesigned their online research guides to better teach information literacy skills to students, especially distance learners. They conducted usability tests on the original guides, found students had difficulties, and redesigned the guides based on principles of web design and models of student information seeking behavior. Further usability tests showed statistically significant decreases in student errors when completing tasks using the redesigned guides.

It explains that bias in news reporting can take many forms, such as partiality, one-sidedness, and subjective language. The key difference between news and opinion is that news informs with multiple viewpoints through facts, while opinion persuades from a singular viewpoint. Even trusted news sources can present biased viewpoints, so it is important for readers to be able to detect bias. Examples of other factors to consider include the author, publisher, accuracy, and references of a news report.
Willie Miller presented on apps for libraries. He discussed mobile internet and smartphone trends showing increased usage of smartphones and tablets. He then reviewed 30 apps in the categories of social media, reference, education, productivity, news and books that could be useful for libraries. Some highlighted apps included Instagram, Facebook Pages Manager, Wikipedia, Dropbox and Goodreads. He concluded with implications for libraries in developing mobile content and contacts for further references.
Frame It In The News: Teaching Information Literacy Without a Research PaperWillie Miller
The document outlines a lesson plan for teaching students about bias in news media without requiring a research paper. It discusses framing the lesson around coverage of the 2012 US presidential election and using lectures, close reading exercises, and class discussions to help students identify bias, describe methods to detect bias, and provide their own examples of biased news articles. The goal is to help students achieve specified learning outcomes around recognizing and illustrating bias in the news.
