| ilearnnyc: Blended Learning Anthony G. Picciano, Charles D. Dziuban, Charles R. Graham, 2013-11-07 Blended learning, which combines the strength of face-to-face and technology-enhanced learning, is increasingly being seen as one of the most important vehicles for education reform today. Blended learning allows both teacher and learner access to radically increased possibilities for understanding how we transmit and receive information, how we interact with others in educational settings, how we build knowledge, and how we assess what we have taught or learned. Blended Learning: Research Perspectives, Volume 2 provides readers with the most current, in-depth collection of research perspectives on this vital subject, addressing institutional issues, design and adoption issues, and learning issues, as well as an informed meditation on future trends and research in the field. As governments, foundations, schools, and colleges move forward with plans and investments for vast increases in blended learning environments, a new examination of the existing research on the topic is essential reading for all those involved in this educational transformation. |
| ilearnnyc: The Hidden Role of Software in Educational Research Tom Liam Lynch, 2015-05-22 Educational research often discounts the uniqueness and ubiquity of software and the hidden political, economic and epistemological ways it impacts teaching and learning in K-12 settings. Drawing on theories and methodologies from English education, critical discourse analysis, multimodal semiotics and digital humanities, this volume exposes the problems of technology in schools and refocuses the conversation on software. This shifting of focus invites more nuanced questions concerning the role of software in school reform and classroom instruction, and takes a critical stance on software’s role in education. This volume explores the ontology of software and the ways it is construed within educational policy discussions. It is beneficial to schools, companies, policy makers and practitioners seeking a more theoretical framework for technology in education. |
| ilearnnyc: Sustainable School Transformation David Crossley, 2013-10-30 Sustainable School Transformation: An Inside-Out School Led Approach explores how we can best build a truly world class education system. It presents a theoretical and practical case for an alternative approach that combines the rigour of traditional 'top-down' accountability models with the engagement and buy-in of school led 'inside-out' approaches – a combination which can be applied to any school in any context internationally. David Crossley and a range of practitioners and academics draw on their extensive experience of past approaches to school improvement in the UK and US. Rather than reject 'top-down' accountability models, they explore new ways of developing them alongside 'inside-out' school led approaches that really do motivate those in our schools who in the final analysis have to deliver the aspirations of politicians and our wider societies for all our young people. The book is based on the premise that Peter Drucker's notion of addictive achievement, discussed in relation to students in Post Capitalist Society, applies to staff and schools too, and if we want to build a truly world class system it will only be achieved through the motivation and resultant efforts of all those in our schools. |
| ilearnnyc: AI in Education in India KHRITISH SWARGIARY, 2025-04-01 Preface In the kaleidoscope of India’s educational landscape, where over 260 million students navigate a system of 1.5 million schools and 8.5 million teachers, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) heralds a transformative era. This vast and vibrant ecosystem, pulsating with diversity and ambition, faces challenges that are as monumental as its potential—teacher shortages nearing 1 million, a persistent digital divide, and regional disparities that threaten equitable access to quality education. Yet, within these complexities lies an extraordinary opportunity: AI, with its capacity to personalize learning, streamline teaching, and bridge gaps, offers a beacon of hope for reimagining education in India. AI in Education in India: Contemporary Context and Future Prospects is an exploration of this promise—a deep dive into how AI is reshaping the present and illuminating the path toward a future where every learner can thrive. This book emerges from a profound conviction that technology, when harnessed thoughtfully, can democratize education in a nation as multifaceted as India. With its 22 official languages, sprawling urban centers, and remote rural hamlets, India demands an approach to AI that is both innovative and inclusive. My purpose here is not merely to catalog technological advancements but to weave a narrative that connects global trends with local realities, practical applications with ethical considerations, and current successes with visionary recommendations. This is a resource for educators seeking to enhance their craft, policymakers charting the course ahead, technologists building the tools of tomorrow, and researchers probing the frontiers of learning—all united by a shared goal of elevating Indian education. The book unfolds across eight meticulously structured chapters, each a stepping stone in understanding AI’s role in this context: Chapter 1: Introduction lays the foundation, defining AI’s place in education and spotlighting its relevance to India’s unique challenges. It outlines the book’s objectives—to examine AI’s current state, applications, impacts, challenges, and future potential—while providing a roadmap for the journey ahead. Chapter 2: AI in Education: Global and Indian Perspectives casts a wide net, comparing global trends—such as personalized learning platforms like Coursera—with India’s own evolution, from the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to the rise of EdTech giants like BYJU’S. It highlights the interplay of government, private sector, and academia in driving AI adoption. Chapter 3: Applications of AI in Indian Education delves into the practical, showcasing tools like SpeEdLabs for personalized learning, Embibe’s intelligent tutoring, and Turnitin’s automated grading. It explores how these applications address India’s educational needs, from multilingual classrooms to teacher shortages. Chapter 4: Impact of AI on Education in India measures AI’s footprint, revealing its power to boost learning outcomes (e.g., 20% test score gains), bridge the digital divide via platforms like DIKSHA, transform teacher roles, and mitigate regional disparities through virtual classrooms in Telangana. Chapter 5: Challenges and Ethical Considerations confronts the shadows of progress—rural internet access at just 36%, data privacy fears among 78% of parents, and ethical risks like algorithmic bias. It calls for a balanced approach to ensure AI serves all equitably. Chapter 6: Case Studies and Success Stories brings theory to life with real-world examples: SpeEdLabs in Mumbai, Andhra Pradesh’s dropout prediction reducing rates by 10%, IIT Madras’s tutoring systems, and rural literacy initiatives by the Wadhwani Foundation. Chapter 7: Future Prospects and Recommendations peers into tomorrow, proposing a National AI in Education Policy, multilingual AI research, stakeholder collaboration via public-private partnerships, and teacher training to prepare for an AI-driven world. Chapter 8: Conclusion ties these threads together, reflecting on AI’s transformative potential and urging a collective effort to build an inclusive, ethical educational future. As you turn these pages, I invite you to join me in this exploration—not as a passive observer but as an active participant in shaping India’s educational destiny. Whether you’re an educator envisioning smarter classrooms, a policymaker crafting equitable systems, or a student dreaming of boundless opportunities, this book offers insights and inspiration. AI is not a panacea, but in India—a land of resilience and innovation—it can be a powerful ally. Together, let us harness its potential to ensure that every child, from bustling cities to remote villages, has the chance to learn, grow, and soar. |
| ilearnnyc: The Arts and Emergent Bilingual Youth Sharon Verner Chappell, Christian J. Faltis, 2013-04-17 The Arts and Emergent Bilingual Youth offers a critical sociopolitical perspective on working with emerging bilingual youth at the intersection of the arts and language learning. Utilizing research from both arts and language education to explore the ways they work in tandem to contribute to emergent bilingual students’ language and academic development, the book analyzes model arts projects to raise questions about “best practices” for and with marginalized bilingual young people, in terms of relevance to their languages, cultures, and communities as they envision better worlds. A central assumption is that the arts can be especially valuable for contributing to English learning by enabling learners to experience ideas, patterns, and relationship (form) in ways that lead to new knowledge (content). Each chapter features vignettes showcasing current projects with ELL populations both in and out of school and visual art pieces and poems, to prompt reflection on key issues and relevant concepts and theories in the arts and language learning. Taking a stance about language and culture in English learners’ lives, this book shows the intimate connections among art, narrative, and resistance for addressing topics of social injustice. |

| ilearnnyc: Hidden in Plain Sight Colin Williamson, 2015-10-22 What does it mean to describe cinematic effects as “movie magic,” to compare filmmakers to magicians, or to say that the cinema is all a “trick”? The heyday of stage illusionism was over a century ago, so why do such performances still serve as a key reference point for understanding filmmaking, especially now that so much of the cinema rests on the use of computers? To answer these questions, Colin Williamson situates film within a long tradition of magical practices that combine art and science, involve deception and discovery, and evoke two forms of wonder—both awe at the illusion displayed and curiosity about how it was performed. He thus considers how, even as they mystify audiences, cinematic illusions also inspire them to learn more about the technologies and techniques behind moving images. Tracing the overlaps between the worlds of magic and filmmaking, Hidden in Plain Sight examines how professional illusionists and their tricks have been represented onscreen, while also considering stage magicians who have stepped behind the camera, from Georges Méliès to Ricky Jay. Williamson offers an insightful, wide-ranging investigation of how the cinema has functioned as a “device of wonder” for more than a century, while also exploring how several key filmmakers, from Orson Welles to Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese, employ the rhetoric of magic. Examining pre-cinematic visual culture, animation, nonfiction film, and the digital trickery of today’s CGI spectacles, Hidden in Plain Sight provides an eye-opening look at the powerful ways that magic has shaped our modes of perception and our experiences of the cinema. |

| ilearnnyc: Four-dimensional Education Charles Fadel, Maya Bialik, Bernie Trilling, 2015 The foundational reason for why we find it so difficult to rebuild school curricula around the needs of the modern world is that we lack an organizing framework that can help prioritise educational competencies, and systematically structure the conversation around what individuals should learn at various stages of their development. Four-dimensional education provides a clear and actionable first-of-its-kind organizing framework of competencies needed for this century. Its main innovation lies in not presenting yet another one-size-fits-all list of what individuals should learn, but in crisply defining the spaces in which educators, curriculum planners, policymakers and learners can establish what should be learned, in their context and for their future. |
