University of the People – The world’s first tuition-free online university

koostik - technology made natural. Apprendre et enseigner à l'ère numérique : entre virage pédagogique et mirage technologique Voici un texte illustré de diaporamas et d’une mini-vidéo qui synthétise la conférence que j’ai donnée à Sao Paulo (Brésil) dans le cadre du Colloque « Enseigner et Apprendre au XXIème Siècle » (6 au 8 février 2012) Un peu partout dans le monde, dans différents secteurs de la vie sociale, économique, professionnelle et à différents niveaux comme l’éducation, la formation initiale et continue, l’apprentissage informel ou l’apprentissage formel (à l’école, à l’université ou encore dans la formation continue), le numérique est omniprésent. Textes, images, sons … défilent à la vitesse d’une succession effrénée de « 0 » et de « 1 » et, de manière étonnante, le binaire permet la nuance. Dans le contexte éducatif, les universités numériques fleurissent, les réseaux se concrétisent dans des consortiums d’universités au niveau régional ou même international. Une porte d’entrée nécessaire : la cohérence pédagogique Notre perspective sera donc davantage systémique que normative ou linéaire.

Un serious game sur l'usage des TIC pour les enseignants Dans l'univers de l'éducation, les initiatives de formation à l'usage des TIC s'adressent surtout aux élèves. Le Brevet Informatique et Internet français (B2I), qui a été cité souvent dans nos pages, en est un exemple éloquent. Sur Internet, des serious games sont offerts aux jeunes pour qu'ils adoptent une attitude responsable dans leur communication en ligne. Face à cette profusion d'intiaitives ciblant les jeunes, il n'y a pas grand chose qui soit spécifiquement développé pour les enseignants. Du moins, du côté des applications ludiques. L'association des professeurs de l'état de Victoria en Australie a décidé de créer un serious game ciblant les enseignants, Playing4real, afin de comprendre comment utiliser les TIC en classe et inciter au partage des idées entre collègues. Les tâches sont de petits exercices qui mettent l'enseignant face à des dilemnes. Les missions, quant à elles, sont plus longues. Playing4real ne brille pas par son graphisme.

leadership training, leadership tips, theory, skills, for leadership training and development home » leadership/management » leadership leadership development methods and tips This leadership tips webpage is a general guide to modern ethical progressive leadership. See also the leadership theories article for explanations and summaries of the main leadership theories. Explaining and understanding the nature of good leadership is probably easier than practising it. Good leadership requires deep human qualities, beyond conventional notions of authority. In the modern age good leaders are an enabling force, helping people and organizations to perform and develop, which implies that a sophisticated alignment be achieved - of people's needs, and the aims of the organization. The traditional concept of a leader being the directing chief at the top of a hierachy is nowadays a very incomplete appreciation of what true leadership must be. Effective leadership does not necessarily require great technical or intellectual capacity. The concept of serving is fundamental to the leadership role.
