Ecel 2016 Proceedings Of The 15th European Conference On E Learning

Proceedings of the 15th European Conference on e- Learning (ECEL 2016)

In the past, the process of developing an interactive digital learning resource required content developers, technology experts, and learning designers to work together. As such, the process was time consuming and expensive. Now there are new tools that do not require advanced mastery of ICTs for the development of digital learning resources. Such tools allow the reduction of costs and timelines of development. The rapid e-learning method helps to decentralize curriculum digitization and empower teachers to embrace technology to develop and share resources among peers. Implementing Rapid E-Learning Through Interactive Materials Development provides a relevant theoretical foundation for the design and development of interactive learning materials using the rapid e-learning method. It draws on research, case studies, and reports from different contextual applications of the methods, challenges, and learning experiences of students. Covering topics such as goal-oriented design, quality assurance, and rapid game development, this premier reference source is an essential resource for multimedia developers, IT professionals, learning designers, educators and administrators of both K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This book is about the Internet of Things in the field of education. Specifically, it focuses on two major topics: IoT (Internet of Things) solutions to support distance education and new pedagogical approaches to support development of computational thinking with educational devices possessing the characteristics of IoT. As the educational landscape has dramatically changed in times of global pandemic, online resources and media, such as IoT, have become increasingly important. This situation compels all educational scholars, researchers and practitioners to search for new solutions, new educational pathways and new agents for knowledge development to support learning. This book presents the possibilities of IoT as both a catalyst and performance tool for education. The convergence of multiple technologies, real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems can serve as tools for learning support and this book details exactly how these powerful tools can be utilized to best effect.
