Design Principles for E-Learning
Design Principles for E-Learning
In February 2021 the Canadian eLearning Network (CANeLearn) began engaging educators across Canada in facilitated conversations about teaching in online learning environments. The work began in British Columbia. The purpose of that study was to gain an understanding of the lived experiences of online educators and of those who came to online education during the COVID-19 Pandemic. In March 2021 CANeLearn published the report Design Principles for Online Learning: BC Study (Crichton & Kinsel, 2021) which shared findings from the British Columbia study.

Why it’s wrong to blame online learning for causing mental health issues during COVID-19 — University Affairs
Why it’s wrong to blame online learning for causing mental health issues during COVID-19 — University Affairs

Postsecondary student mental health is in crisis: Research shows students’ mental health was adversely affected in the pandemic, and this falls on the heels of pre-existing concerns that campuses were struggling to keep up with demands for mental health services.

Over the last two-and-a-half years, many people — including educators, academics, education administrators, politicians and political commentators have argued that online learning is detrimental to student or family mental health or well-being.

As a new generation of digital technologies evolves we are awash in new terms and concepts: the metaverse, the fediverse, blockchain, web3, acitivitypub, and more. This presentation untangles these concepts and presents them from the perspective of their impact on open learning. It describes and demonstrates with working examples that anyone case use the potential and the pitfalls of a distributed and decentralized open online learning environment. Participants will see clearly the relation between such diverse concepts as digital badges and credentials, cloud-based services, open data management, activity records and tools interoperability, and persistent digital objects such as digital IDs and non-fungible tokens.

Top 100 Tools for Learning 2022 – Results of the 16th Annual Survey
Top 100 Tools for Learning 2022 – Results of the 16th Annual Survey
As a result of the 16th Annual Tools for Learning survey, [the author has], this year, generated a list of 100 Top Tools for Learning. Why, since last year I produced a list of 300 tools? There are two main reasons for this: firstly, fewer people voted this year, but secondly, and more significantly, far fewer tools were nominated this year.
