This presentation discusses the use of ePortfolios in the Master of Distance Education (MDE) program at University of Maryland University College to promote lifelong learning. The goals of using ePortfolios are to showcase students' qualifications and demonstrate their knowledge and skills in various distance education contexts. Some challenges include balancing institutional and student ownership of ePortfolios, and encouraging continuous ePortfolio work throughout the program. The MDE program provides support for ePortfolios through tutorials, orientations, and an ePortfolio wiki. Future areas of focus include protecting student ownership and assessing ePortfolio outcomes.Presentazione Festa Paas 2009

A young woman waited at the airport and bought cookies to eat while reading. A man sat next to her and began eating her cookies without asking. Angry but unable to react, she watched as he ate each cookie until only one was left, which he shared with her. When boarding her flight, she discovered her untouched cookies still in her purse. She realized she had been mistaken and felt ashamed for wrongly accusing the man.Pets in the US

De presentatie begint met het benoemen van trends en ontwikkelingen en de verschillende constructen waarbinnen open source software zijn eigen betekenis heeft. De voordelen en nadelen van open source software worden op een rij gezet. Vervolgens worden de verschillende open source licenties besproken en welk strategisch effect een bepaalde licentiekeuze met zich meebrengt. Vervolgens een beschouwing op open source communities en hoe je kunt deelnemen, bijdragen of hoe je zelf een community start. De presentatie noemt een aantal richtlijnen voor adoptie en migratie. Daarbij gaan we in op de organisatorische context van een open source migratie alsook een aanpak voor migratie naar open source. Tot slot eindigt de presentatie met een handzame checklist met technische, sociale en management-richtlijnen op welke wijze organisaties de adoptie van open source software in hun organisatie kunnen begeleiden.

This document compares formal and non-formal virtual learning communities (VLCs). Formal VLCs are organized by institutions with defined curricula and teacher-directed learning, while non-formal VLCs are learner-organized and directed around shared interests. Non-formal VLCs have some structure but are more self-directed. Key differences include teachers playing a stronger role in formal VLCs, emphasis on ideas in formal VLCs versus shared interests in non-formal, anonymity and identity protection in non-formal VLCs, and greater learner control over participation in non-formal VLCs. The conclusions call for more empirical research to better understand characteristics and implications of non-formal VLCs.Connections and Contexts: The Birth, Growth and Death of Online Learning Comm...
