By Wendy S. Bray elling children that they can learn from their mistakes is common practice. Yet research indicates that many teachers in the United States limit public attention to errors during math- ematics lessons (Bray 2011; Santagata 2005). Some believe that drawing attention to errors publicly may embarrass error m

National Science Teachers Association's Position Statement regarding E-Learning in Science Education. How does e-learning fit with the goals and standards for science education?

Thursday, 09 January 2014 20:47 If your learners aren't performing as well on their post-training evaluations as you'd hoped, you may want to try an e-Learning development technique to help them remember - content chunking. Maybe you've never heard this term, or you've heard it mentioned and wondered exactly how it works, where it came from and how to apply it to your e-Learning development.

Although research studies in education show that use of technology can help student learning, its use is generally affected by certain barriers. In this paper, we first identify the general barriers typically faced by K-12 schools, both in the United States as well as other countries, when integrating technology into the curriculum for instructional purposes, namely: (a) resources, (b) institution, (c) subject culture, (d) attitudes and beliefs, (e) knowledge and skills, and (f) assessment. We then describe the strategies to overcome such barriers: (a) having a shared vision and technology integration plan, (b) overcoming the scarcity of resources, (c) changing attitudes and beliefs, (d) conducting professional development, and (e) reconsidering assessments. Finally, we identify several current knowledge gaps pertaining to the barriers and strategies of technology integration, and offer pertinent recommendations for future research.

Great article about the pros and cons of a Learn by Asking interactive e-classroom. Though it was written in the prime of e-Learning, it still has plenty of valuable information.

A recent study from CompTIA found that e-learning software, classroom management software, game-based learning and mobile apps are spreading throughout classrooms in the country.

Rethinking Learning for a Digital Age addresses the complex and diverse experiences of learners in a world embedded with digital technologies. The text combines first-hand accounts from learners with extensive research and analysis, including a developmental model for effective e-learning, and a wide range of strategies that digitally-connected learners are using to fit learning into their lives.

As I move in to a role where I will be working with other colleagues on a more formal basis when it comes to e-learning, I have been reflecting upon different Apps. I was thinking about SAMR and which Apps can have transformative learning linked to them, if used properly.

The "7 Things You Should Know About..." series provide quick reads with concise information about emerging technologies and practices. The Campus-Wide IT section addresses professional challenges in higher education, while the Learning Technology section discusses individual technologies or practices. I could bookmark at least a dozen of these relevant articles (microlectures, social content curation, educational design research, e-readers, cloud computing, and so on), which is why I'm saving the main page instead.

This is the website I use for my class blog.  It is quick for you and your students to register, it is safe for students to use and the format is simple, yet effective.  I have already witnessed some amazing learning and sharing on this site.

contains free (open source) software which may help educators to produce their own ICT based learning objects, learning materials and classroom resources.

"The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning is a refereed, open access e-journal that disseminates original research, theory, and best practice in open and distance learning worldwide."

The EDUCAUSE Library is the pre-emninent clearing house for information about timely topics and research supporting the use and management of technology in higher education. It aggregates over 20,000 resources submitted by EDUCAUSE, EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis Research (ECAR), EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI), Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC), Grant programs and our members.

A lot of FL schools swear by this site - Study Island is a leading academic software provider of standards-based assessment, instruction, and test preparation e-learning programs.

For those interested in how to maintain quality and best practices when designing e-Learning activities
