In this lively and approachable volume based on his popular blog series, Martin Weller demonstrates a rich history of innovation and effective implementation of ed tech across higher education. From Bulletin Board Systems to blockchain, Weller follows the trajectory of education by focusing each chapter on a technology, theory, or concept that has influenced each year since 1994. Calling for both caution and enthusiasm, Weller advocates for a critical and research-based approach to new technologies, particularly in light of disinformation, the impact of social media on politics, and data surveillance trends. A concise and necessary retrospective, this book will be valuable to educators, ed tech practitioners, and higher education administrators, as well as students.

VLC Media Player, also known as the VideoLan Client Media Player, has come a long way from its humble beginnings. The app now boasts things like Chromecast support and 360-degree video views. This versatile little open-source player can handle any media file that you throw at it.
VLC Media Player has been downloaded 3.5 billion times. Perhaps the secret to its longevity is its modular design, allowing it to play catch-up with media players du jour, adding new features as required to stay relevant. There are a few "secret" features under the hood that we're going to explore in this article. Jim Lerman's insight: I have always found VLC Media Player to live up to its reputation.

We talk a lot about student engagement in education. Most educators got into this profession for the students, and, as a result, we want their experience to be as engaging and positive as possible. There is far less written about teacher engagement, even though teacher engagement and student engagement are reciprocal. When teacher engagement dips, it has a negative effect on student engagement. When teacher engagement is high, it positively impacts both student engagement and achievement.

Nous avons échangé avec Renaud Hétier, enseignant-chercheur en sciences de l’éducation à l’Université Catholique de l’Ouest à Angers. Auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur l’attention, il défend l’idée que le numérique perturbe notre attention parce qu’il amenuise nos relations interpersonnelles.

Higher levels of education are expensive. The books that are used are not cheap, either. However, open education resources (OERs) are starting to take hold. They are benefiting students, educationally and financially.

Have you ever thought about whether the current education system is suitable for your kids? Will it still be valid in another five years? Thanks to the internet and technology, this is the best time to rethink the education system of today.

In this document we will explain how, over the years, the Inter-American Development Bank has been implementing strategies to encourage Bank audiences to engage in and take advantage of its Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC).
MOOC are very powerful learning tools because they are open courses that, in most cases, can be taken at a students own pace, thus making them ideal for people with busy lives. They also have a broad scope, since they can provide training to thousands of people at the same time at a low cost per participant. However, MOOC also have certain limitations, such as the need for suitable devices; access to high-quality internet; or limited access to certificates, which usually have to be paid for. Another big challenge that we encounter regarding MOOC is that, as they are open and free of charge, a high percentage of registrants who enroll in a course do not take it.
This document analyzes the evolution of engagement indicators, i.e., students commitment to a course. It also measures the success of the IDBs MOOC in maintaining students in courses. Moreover, the document describes the different strategies that we have implemented over time to ensure that people who register for these courses actually take advantage of them. Even though engagement has been a concern throughout the history of the IDBx Program and actions have been taken to maintain participation at stable levels, since 2019, a greater effort has been made to understand the reasons why registrants did not ultimately participate in the courses, so as to devise strategies to mitigate that behavior in our audience.

Change of any kind is a hard pill to swallow for the human condition. People love the comfort of the familiar, the reliable, the expected and the routine. In some ways for people, the lack of change becomes the security blanket that maintains a fixed mindset and predictable world. Unfortunately, the world did not get this message!

You can’t predict what life is going to throw at you. As a result, we have to be prepared to compromise, as the path that we would like to take the most might be temporarily unavailable. That’s why increasingly more young people choose to pursue their university
degrees online rather than in a traditional way by physically attending classes. This way, even those with a limited amount of time can get a tertiary education, which can help immensely when trying to find a decent job. Below you will find both advantages and
disadvantages of online degrees, which you might find useful if you are considering enrolling in an online university course.
