Learning And Teaching With Virtual Learning Environments
Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are becoming increasingly common in schools, and it is important for trainees to be equipped with the necessary skills and understanding to use them effectively to enhance learning. This book takes a thematic approach, examining all the key issues from designing and creating a VLE to using one to organise, moderate and assess pupil learning and even to develop resources for learning.
Surrounded by Science: Learning Science in Informal Environments, is designed to make that task easier. Based on the National Research Council study, Learning Science in Informal Environments: People, Places, and Pursuits, this book is a tool that provides case studies, illustrative examples, and probing questions for practitioners. In short, this book makes valuable research accessible to those working in informal science: educators, museum professionals, university faculty, youth leaders, media specialists, publishers, broadcast journalists, and many others.
Lord Salisbury's World: Conservative Environments in Late-Victorian Britain
"Bentley's study is an extremely successful attempt to analyze what he calls the `Conservative Environments' around and about the Marquis.... Bentley quite rightly remarks that Lord Salisbury was `bitingly intelligent, focused and funny' (p. 6). So is Michael Bentley, who writes in a tellingly ironic yet often elegiac style which reflects an historian completely at home in his period, more than aware of its nuances, and quite prepared to indulge in unwhiggish and trenchant criticism of modernity." Journal of Church and State
This monograph will enable researchers and practitioners to construct a wealth of new ideas about globalised virtual learning environments and in particular the implications for learners, teachers and institutions.With the growth of trans-national education online, more learners are experiencing learning environments characterised by cultural diversity.
