The document discusses the history and modern applications of mathematical methods in origami. It describes how origami evolved from a traditional Japanese art form to a field that uses mathematical principles and algorithms. Modern origami artists now design complex 3D shapes and engineers use origami techniques to develop advanced technologies in fields like aerospace, biomedicine, and consumer electronics.

7th issue of Volume 13. A magazine in urdu language mainly based on spiritual treatment and learning. Many topics on ISLAM, SUFISM, SOCIAL PROBLEMS, SELF HELP, PSYCHOLOGY, HEALTH, SPIRITUAL TREATMENT, Ruqya etc. A very useful magazine for everyone.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. It notes that regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise has also been shown to enhance self-esteem and serve as a healthy distraction from daily stressors.
The document discusses the history and development of chocolate over centuries. It details how cocoa beans were first used by Mesoamerican cultures before being introduced to Europe. Chocolate then evolved from a luxury good to a mass-produced confection as production methods advanced and it became commercially available on a larger scale.
This document is written in an unknown language and script. It appears to be a dialogue or story told across multiple speakers, but the text is illegible and no meaningful information can be summarized due to the unknown language and script.
The document discusses the history of chocolate, from its origins in Mesoamerica to its popularity in Europe. It details how the Aztecs and Mayans cultivated the cocoa bean and used it in drinks. The Spanish then brought cocoa back to Europe in the 16th century, where it eventually became widely consumed in drinks and candies. The document provides background on the origins and spread of chocolate consumption.

This document discusses rhizomatic learning and heutagogy. Rhizomatic learning sees the community as the curriculum and ideas as interconnected and self-replicating. Heutagogy involves self-determined learning through double-loop learning, capability development, and non-linear design. The document also mentions connectivism and how knowledge is distributed across networks, and that learning forms new connections. It provides resources for continuing research into cMOOCs, competency-based education, personal learning environments, and using social media in education.

This document discusses the use of ePortfolios to support global engagement, deep learning, and authentic assessment. It introduces the concept of "eGogy" as a framework for guiding eTeaching, eLearning, and personal learning environments. The document emphasizes using ePortfolios to develop skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. Examples are provided of how ePortfolios can support reflection, formative assessment, and showcase learner-created work. Possible ePortfolio platforms and a sample ePortfolio page are also included.
presentation on connecting adult learning theories and progressive learning theories with new learning environments including those with OERs and MOOCs.
This document provides an overview of connectivist MOOCs (cMOOCs) based on lessons learned from running cMOOCs. It defines key concepts like open learning, connectivism, and cMOOCs. Some key points made are: cMOOCs are based on connectivist principles where learning is a process of connecting information sources and diversity of opinions; they require nurturing connections to facilitate continual learning; and assessing learning in cMOOCs can be challenging given their open and connection-based nature. The document shares lessons learned from running previous cMOOCs on needing critical mass of participation and exploring new tools like ePortfolios for assessment.
The presentation introduced ePortfolios as a tool to develop STEM competencies. It discussed how ePortfolios can provide an environment for critical thinking, communication, innovation, and collaboration skills. Examples were provided of how ePortfolios support reflection through journaling, formative assessment, and displaying student work. The presentation also provided examples of ePortfolio pages and rubrics. It concluded by listing possible ePortfolio platform providers and sharing references and additional resources.
This document discusses Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) through the lens of open learning. It begins with a discussion of what open learning means, citing the UNESCO definition that open learning allows the learner to control many facets of the learning process. It then discusses definitions of "open" in the context of MOOCs from sources like David Wiley. While some MOOCs claim to be open, their terms of use restrict reuse and adaptation of content. The document analyzes MOOCs from platforms like Coursera, edX and Udacity. It performs a SWOT analysis of MOOCs' strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks. It concludes by reflecting on MOOCs' potential impacts
The document discusses MOOCs (massive open online courses) and connectivist learning environments. It provides examples of MOOCs the presenters have led, including tools like gRSShopper that can be used to build MOOCs. A participant visualization of how a cMOOC works is shared. The document poses questions about assessing learning in MOOCs, accessibility, and what elements define a MOOC. References on MOOC research and perspectives from experts like Siemens and Downes are also included.
