“New Technologies for Learning: Contribution of ICT to Innovation in Education” tackles the key questions concerning the impact of technology on education. This publication is the result of a study commissioned by the European Round Table of Industrialists (ERT) to LINOV (Leuven Institute for Innovative Learning) at the K.U.Leuven, Belgium. The authors adopt a dynamic and constructive stance: education should neither eagerly and blindly embrace the oncoming ICT wave, nor passively and reluctantly surrender to it, nor should we make sceptical or defensive attempts to keep it out. Instead, education should actively create new powerful learning applications from the potential of ICT. An open but critical analysis of the new learning opportunities should be conducted, as well as a careful assessment of the critical success factors. For the practical implementation of ICT-based innovation in education a systemic approach to the learning process as well as to the educational system is essential.

"Written for the beginner, Practical DV Filmmaking guides you thorough the process of making a film with low-cost digital equipment: from development through to production, post-production and distribution. While the technical tools you need are fully explained, the book concentrates on filmmaking principles throughout, illustrating how these tools can be used to achieve stylistic approaches for innovative filmmaking. The book assumes no background knowledge in either technology or filmmaking and is divided into four key areas: development, production, post-production, distribution."

This paper presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of video conferencing as a teaching and learning medium within the area of early childhood studies. The methodology consists of questionnaires administered to the early years' tutors who taught on the course and to students in both Belfast and Armagh (remote site). Findings indicate that students at the remote site have developed learning strategies and skills for dealing with the video-conference lecture. Tutors have had to adopt a formal style of teaching and this has had an effect on how lectures are presented. Furthermore, it is recognized by tutors and students that a tutor needs to be present at the remote site in order to facilitate discussion and deal with questions and problems.

MOTIVATE is a real-time videoconferencing project for schools, providing maths, science and cross-curricular videoconferences and linked projects for students of all ages (5-19) both in the UK and internationally. Secondary students find out what professional mathematicians and scientists do, and how their work is used in the real world. Younger children take part in interactive videoconferences, with activities based across the curriculum. Related: Paper “Can videoconferencing contribute to teaching and learning?
