Technology Coordinator's Handbook, 3rd Edition
by Max Frasier Doug HearringtonThis handbook is designed to help technology coordinators become more effective learners and leaders so they can better assist students, teachers and administrators in the use of tech devices and resources. The technology coordinator can be seen as the orchestrator in the school or district, able to balance technology policies and procedures with device-specific requirements, locate funding and support, and facilitate ongoing training and support. In a time when technology is constantly changing, the technology coordinator adapts and stays abreast of the latest developments.This handbook is designed to help technology coordinators become more effective learners and leaders so they can better assist students, teachers and administrators in the use of tech devices and resources.

Technology, Design and the Arts - Opportunities and Challenges (Springer Series on Cultural Computing)
by Rae Earnshaw Susan Liggett Peter Excell Daniel ThalmannThis open access book details the relationship between the artist and their created works, using tools such as information technology, computer environments, and interactive devices, for a range of information sources and application domains. This has produced new kinds of created works which can be viewed, explored, and interacted with, either as an installation or via a virtual environment such as the Internet. These processes generate new dimensions of understanding and experience for both the artist and the public’s relationships with the works that are produced. This has raised a variety of interdisciplinary opportunities and issues, and these are examined. The symbiotic relationship between artistic works and the cultural context in which they are produced is reviewed. Technology can provide continuity by making traditional methods and techniques more efficient and effective. It can also provide discontinuity by opening up new perspectives and paradigms. This can generate new ideas, and produce a greater understanding of artistic processes and how they are implemented in practice. Tools have been used from the earliest times to create and modify artistic works. For example, naturally occurring pigments have been used for cave paintings. What has been created provides insight into the cultural context and social environment at the time of creation. There is an interplay between the goal of the creator, the selection and use of appropriate tools, and the materials and representations chosen. Technology, Design and the Arts - Opportunities and Challenges is relevant for artists and technologists and those engaged in interdisciplinary research and development at the boundaries between these disciplines.

Technology-Enabled Learning and Design Methodologies: Lessons from Creative, Agile, Immersive, and Analytical Advancements
by Andrea Filatro Carolina Costa CavalcantiTechnology-Enabled Learning and Design Methodologies offers a comprehensive and example-rich guide to the latest technological and methodological advancements in education. This book systematically organizes a rich variety of educational innovations into four distinct groups of teaching-learning methodologies, each with its own focus and disruptive potential:· Creative methodologies, centered on student protagonism and creativity, which shift the traditional roles in the teaching-learning process, empowering students to take an active, leading role in their education and encouraging creative thinking and expression.· Agile methodologies, focused on time management and adaptability, which optimize students’ time and attention through microlearning and other bite-sized content, activities, and assessments.· Immersive methodologies, driven by simulated real-world scenarios, which blur the boundaries between learning environments and real-life contexts in order to immerse learners in challenging, story-driven environments linked to clear learning objectives.· Analytical methodologies, based on computation power, which support personalized, adaptive, and evidence-based teaching and learning by collecting and processing student data.Through a practical, dialogical approach, filled with visual resources and real-world examples, the authors provide solid theoretical foundations for their methodologies of focus, positioning them within a broader spectrum that goes beyond mere consumption of isolated techniques or technologies. This will be a relevant resource for current and aspiring instructional designers, educational technologists, subject matter experts, teaching faculty, researchers, and other stakeholders involved in face-to-face, distance, or hybrid education.

Technology for Efficient Learner Support Services in Distance Education: Experiences from Developing Countries
by AnjanaThis book explores the ways in which technology is being used by various open universities in developing countries to extend learner support services to distance learners. It shares the best practices being followed by different open universities so that these may be replicated by other universities. It provides an overview of the use of various digital technologies, e-learning tools, eLearning platforms, virtual learning environments, and synchronous and asynchronous technologies in open and distance learning (ODL) systems. Moreover, it discusses the importance of ODL systems in providing inclusive education in developing countries through the use of ICT with a special focus on adult, rural and elderly learners, as well as the role of technology in science education through ODL system. A transformative model of sustainable collaborative learning is presented, integrating concepts based on theoretical frameworks to increase the flexibility and solve existing issues in developing countries, which may be used for policy changes in distance learning. It concludes by examining various challenges in successfully implementing technology for effective delivery of learner support services in distance education systems in developing countries and exploring the strategies required to overcome these challenges.
Technology for Modelling
by Charles CareHistorians have different views on the core identity of analogue computing. Some portray the technology solely as a precursor to digital computing, whereas others stress that analogue applications existed well after 1940. Even within contemporary sources, there is a spectrum of understanding around what constitutes analogue computing. To understand the relationship between analogue and digital computing, and what this means for users today, the history must consider how the technology is used. Technology for Modelling investigates the technologies, the concepts, and the applications of analogue computing. The text asserts that analogue computing must be thought of as not just a computing technology, but also as a modelling technology, demonstrating how the history of analogue computing can be understood in terms of the parallel themes of calculation and modelling. The book also includes a number of detailed case studies of the technology's use and application. Topics and features: discusses the meaning of analogue computing and its significance in history, and describes the main differences between analogue and digital computing; provides a chronology of analogue computing, based upon the two major strands of calculation and modeling; examines the wider relationship between computing and modelling, and discusses how the theme of modelling fits within the history of analogue computing; describes how the history of analogue computing evolved through a number of stages of use; presents illustrative case studies on analogue modelling in academic research, oil reservoir modelling, aeronautical design, and meteorology. General readers and researchers in the field of history of computing - as well as history of science more generally - will find this book a fascinating insight into the historical use and evolution of technology. The volume provides a long-needed historical framework and context for these core computing technologies. Dr. Charles Care is a senior software engineer at BT and an Associate Fellow at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Warwick, UK.
