ED403 Reflection: Technological Innovation in Education.

This session explores eLearning Practices in Higher Education including Microteaching and eLearning case study. The session meets two of the ED403’s important CLOs which are critically evaluate and write a synthesis of eLearning practices in Higher Education (CLO3) and design, develop and deliver a lesson in an eLearning format (CLO1) Microteaching and MicroLED Prior to engaging in micro-teaching ( Bell, 2007) , we were required to focus on the construction of a micro learning environment, also known as MicroLED ( Chen et al., 2021) . I have chosen the course and topic for my micro-teaching session, in which I will provide a 15-minute lecture. For this assessment, I examined my second-year course, CS230: Requirement Engineering. The session will cover the subject of "UML Use Case and Activity Diagram". This is in accordance with the CLO: model software requirements using use-case diagrams. I have used the same topic into my Open Educational Resources (OER) assignment. To ...

eLearning trends in higher education are becoming more and more popular as a way to improve learning and teaching. This session will talk about some of these trends, including learning analytics, bring your own device (BYOD) and mobile learning, virtual reality and augmented reality, and makerspaces. The session meets two of the ED403’s important CLOs which are critically review and analyse trends in higher education learning environment (CLO2) and Apply eLearning trends and application within your contexts of higher education (CLO3). What is eLearning eLearning, in essence, refers to the use of technology in the process of acquiring knowledge and skills (Nichols, 2003). Conventional education was limited to the physical boundaries of the classroom, and the knowledge imparted was solely determined by the instructor. The advent of the internet has brought about substantial changes in the learning environment. The rapid advancement and proliferation of technology have expanded the ...

This session explores Learning technologies, Assistive technologies and Open Educational Resources. The session meets two of the ED403’s important CLOs which are critically review and analyse trends in higher education learning environment (CLO2) and Review and adapt Open Educational resources for your discipline area (CLO4). At the beginning of this session, I explored a new tool which I can use for my course. I learnt and tried HTML5 Package (H5P) which I will discuss here. HTML5 Package (H5P) HTML5 Package (H5P) is a open-source framework that enables the creation, distribution, and reuse of interactive HTML5 content that is compatible with web browsers (Rahman et al., 2023). It is extensively used in websites and e-learning platforms to generate captivating content such as games, slideshows, movies, and many forms of multimedia. The software may be hosted, maintained, and reported on learning management systems (LMS) such as Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Canvas. This i...

This session explores crucial topic which is using of technology and future of High Education. The session meets two of the ED403’s important CLOs which are Review and apply theoretical framework and models for Technology enabled Learning (CLO1) and critically review and analyse trends in higher education learning environment (CLO2). Issues in teaching in a digital age I would like to begin this blog discussing the Issues in teaching in a digital age. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant influence on digital learning, leading to changes in patterns and the introduction of novel educational methodologies. The pandemic had a rapid and sometimes challenging effect on the educational system, but it also encouraged the growth and development of digital learning (Bansal et al, 2021). Despite significant advancements in digital and online learning, including the use of video conferencing, online learning platforms, the Learning Management System (Moodle), and administrative tools, ther...

Bula All, I am creating this post to say hello to you all. This is my first post using a blog. I am Vineet Singh, an Assistant Lecturer in the field of Computing Science and Information Systems at the University of the South Pacific's School of Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics. I started my academic career immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, taking both face-to-face and online classes. During this period, many unique and innovative ideas were created, and the assistance of internet tools was very beneficial. My teaching field is enjoyable and intriguing since technology evolves all the time, so we have to be up to speed on changes and new ideas. I feel that sharing information with others is critical in a world where we both teach and learn. I'm happy to be enrolled in ED403. Through it, I want to examine the application of online learning in tertiary education. Having completed ED401 and ED402, I am eager to implement what I have learned in those...
