They can be used to transform learning inside and outside of the classroom, and offer limitless opportunities. Many educators are effectively integrating technology in the classroom using iPads to achieve the 4C’s, or “super skills,” that digital learners need to compete in our global society. But in order to do that, the focus has to shift from apps to content: that’s when true redefinition takes place.

For example, a student at Imperial College developed a summarisation system based on GATE and ANNIE. (His site included the URL of his components; you could then give GATE the URL and it loaded his software over the network.) Marin Dimitrov of the University of Sofia has produced an anaphora resolution system for GATE. Our colleagues in the Universities of Edinburgh, UMIST in Manchester, and Sussex (amongst others) have reported using previous versions of the system for teaching, and the University of Stuttgart produced a tutorial in German for the same purposes. Other recent educational users include Exeter University, Imperial College, Stuttgart University, the University of Edinburgh, Queen Mary College, and others. Libraries. LEARNING SOFTWARES AND APPS.

Open University Learning Design Initiative

Our work is focused around several key questions: Our aim is to develop and implement a methodology for learning design composed of tools, practice and other innovation that both builds upon, and contributes to, existing academic and practioner research. We have been working across several OU faculties and with 4 other universities to pilot curriculum design activities and relevant supporting tools and to contribute to the broader academic work in the subject. We have produced a range of tools which include: Additional outputs include: Our is underpinned by an ongoing programme of empirical work, aimed at getting a richer understanding of educational design processes.

Students are often confused about how to use materials from sources (e. g., journals and books) that they read.

Avoiding Plagiarism and Lazy Writing

Too often material is used inappropriately, in most cases because a student may not know how to properly use such material. The information on this page will help you to avoid two serious flaws in writing plagiarism and lazy writing. What is Plagiarism? Plagiarism occurs when you use someone else's words or ideas from a copyrighted source.

When most students think of plagiarism they think of using someone else's words or ideas without properly citing the source.
