Applying Technology in Physical Education Class: Lots of Possibilities | Emerging Educa... - 0 views

  • Video Resources As a result of advancements in technology and faster internet becoming available today, it is now possible to stream videos on YouTube and Vimeo. Physical education teachers can take advantage of this and recommend workout videos to students, as well as other types of content which provide useful demonstrations for skill development. Whether they are dance or yoga videos, students may become so entranced with some YouTube channels that follow them, encouraging them to do even more than the teacher asks. No matter the level of the class, teachers will be able to find age-appropriate videos to share. Last, but most certainly not least, PE teachers can consider flipping their classes with the help of videos they make demonstrating technique, freeing up time for more application and review in class!

The Future of Holographic Video | American Institute of Physics - 2 views

  • How does it work? The magic happens on the surface of a special crystal called lithium niobate (LiNbO3), which boasts excellent optical properties. Beneath the surface of the LiNbO3, microscopic channels, or "waveguides," are created to confine light passing through. A metal electrode is then deposited onto each waveguide, which can produce surface acoustic waves.
  • Instead of a color wheel, any color combination is possible with their approach simply by altering the frequency of the signal sent to the "white waveguide pixel." In other words, Smalley said, "we can color the output of our display by 'coloring' the frequencies of the drive signal." "As a bonus, this interaction also rotates the polarization of the signal light so that we can use a polarizer to eliminate any noise in the system," he added.
  • This can drop the cost of a holographic video display from tens of thousands of dollars to less than a thousand

    One future of collaboration displaying that might compete with VR/AR.

  • Pavlo Viktor, a science teacher in Odesa, Ukraine, started posting his lectures on YouTube for absent students. He never expected the videos to gain millions of views beyond his classroom. For five years, he has been recording the videos for the students of the secondary and high school, and now he has more than 167,000 subscribers and more than 8 million of the views.

How Will IoT Change the Education Sphere? | Emerging Education Technologies - 0 views

  • According to a research study, “IoT in Education Market” by MarketsandMarkets, the global market size is expected to “grow from $4.8 billion in 2018 to $11.3 billion by 2023.”
  • Personalized Learning One of the biggest hurdles with the typical education system is the lack of flexibility in the course work. The course is the same for each and every student. The human-to-human interaction in a classroom space is collective and does not take into account the individual pace and needs of the student. Building on the idea of Big Data collection, with IoT each student can be evaluated and monitored on an individual basis. Weaker students may be granted a modified course work that caters to them individually to bring them up to speed. On top of that, the aggregate data can guide the instructors to modify the coursework on the go depending on the collective class needs.

  • Thus IoT has the potential to not only save time and physical resources, but also human resources all the while maintaining a better standard of teaching.
  • Financing Issues Financing is another hurdle. Government expenditure on Education is already stretched to its limit in most countries around the world. Plus, education isn’t really the sector that sees significant improvement in budget increase every fiscal year. It is general knowledge that education is kept on the back burner since it is not the topic that wins votes. Information Technology hardware can be expensive and IoT infrastructure can demands a lot of it. To implement IoT, either government or private investments may need to subsidize it.

Top 20 eLearning Statistics For 2019 - eLearning Industry - 0 views

  • The global eLearning market was worth an impressive $107 billion in 2015 [1]. By 2025, however, Research and Markets believe that it will reach a staggering total market value of $325 billion [1]. The reasons for this explosion in value come on the back of several main drivers: the need to educate vast numbers of people at low cost, the falling price of learning solutions, the needs of the modern workforce to engage in life-long learning, and the fact that learning through an internet portal is often more convenient than going to school. The majority of the growth in the eLearning market will come from demand in developing countries.

  • eLearning could reduce employee training time by as much as 40-60% [2]. Cutting training time means that workers can spend more time doing their primary role and companies don't need to organize as much cover.
  • eLearning may boost knowledge retention by an impressive 25-60% [2]
  • Deloitte, a professional services and research company, estimates that the average employee needs to dedicate around 1% of their time per week to training. Doing this, according to Deloitte, enables the worker to stay up to date with best practices and developments in their industry. 1% of the working week isn't much time at all. It translates to 24 minutes per week or 4.8 minutes per day, assuming a 5-day working week [14]. Arranging 4.8 minutes of training per day face-to-face would be impractical. But thanks to "microlearning"— a popular buzzword in the eLearning industry—companies can now take this approach. What's more, microlearning may be even more effective than regular learning because people are better at absorbing lots of small chunks of information than they are a few larger ones.
  • Data Suggests That When Employers Spend $1,500 Per Employee Per Year On Training, They Achieve Improvements In Profit Margins Of Around 24%
  • it's the conclusion of the American Society for Training and Development after a study of more than 2,500 firms
  • Data suggests that when employers spend $1,500 per employee per year on training, they achieve improvements in profit margins of around 24% [8]. Furthermore, for every additional $680 a company spends, shareholder return rises by 6%. Investing in the knowledge capital of a company, therefore, is just as important as investing in the physical capital [8].
  • This can be accomplished easily if the company opts for a value for money LMS.
  • Figures From An Open University Study Suggest That eLearning Cuts Energy Consumption By 90% And Slashes CO2 By More Than 85%
  • 72% of organizations believe that eLearning puts them at a competitive advantage [2]. eLearning is a flexible tool that firms can use to provide them with educational support when they need it. Keeping employees apprised of changes in the market is a significant challenge for many enterprises.
  • Data from a Gallup poll in 2015 found that only 32% of employees in the US were "engaged" and that more than 51% were "unengaged" [9]
  • According to data from The Molly Fletcher Company, eLearning helps firms achieve an 18% boost in employee engagement leading to higher productivity and customer satisfaction [2].
