In some contrast, the student start-ups at the CSE deploy a great number of different ICT tools
There is an online screening tool for new student start-ups capturing ideas, strategies, key features, partners, markets, funding, etc.
The most important internal tool is Podio as a platform for teamwork on the students'start-up projects,
dependent on the ambition of the student start-up. The student start-ups are also members of both online and offline start-up communities, with strong mutual reinforcement between the two,
and significant building of social capital (mainly bonding, but also some bridging types), including an alumni community providing an on-and offline knowledge base for new start-ups.
focuses on developing the full range of unemployed students'entrepreneurship skills, as well as links into the wider higher education, innovation and specialist knowledge of the Copenhagen Business school. 2. Improved employment supports, e g. training, tools, facilities, etc.
just over 100 start-ups create their own new businesses and jobs for unemployed students, with an average of 4 people each including interns,
In the CSE case, the main barrier is lack of physical space given its popularity driven by its success in assisting unemployed students create jobs.
There is also increasing demand from unemployed students which is driving the success of the case.
In the CSE incubator hub case for unemployed students, ICT is vital and so well integrated into all activities that the service
and resources to solve problems and devise new ideas and products, students in schools meet in structured classrooms at specified times;
while students listen; students work individually and reproduce this knowledge on assessments; and their use of ICT is limited.
This pattern is global. 107 www. edudemic. com/best-infographics 109 The shift from a paradigm that is based on mass production
how students are tested, and how schools are structured. The challenges that indicate that fundamental change is needed include the following:
Low levels of attainment e g. many students in the UK leave schools with less than 5 A c (the national target;
and demoralised work force Students coming out of school and university not ready for work/higher/further education Mismatch of skills especially digital literacy Need for lifelong learning,
Trends point toward the breakthrough of student-led learning, where knowledge isn't a commodity that's delivered from teacher to student
but something that emerges from the students'own curiosity-fueled exploration (Davis 2013). Another important trend has been the democratisation of education,
which has been triggered by issues relating to poverty, uneven access to education and the rising costs of education.
The ability of students to utilise ICT has become a new requirement for effective education systems.
Methods of learning analytics not only examine past interactions but also support future outcomes for students and educators.
learning environments ICT presents an entirely new learning environment for students, thus requiring a different skill set to be successful.
and evaluation skills are growing in importance as students have increasing volumes of information from a variety of sources to sort through.
so as to meet each student's specific needs and abilities, as well as preferred ways of learning. In this context there is one social innovation outcome examined for this focus area:
so as to meet each student's specific needs and abilities, as well as preferred ways of learning. -Currently around 600 middle school students were involved with the math project.
-Project budget was estimated at around $1 million at its launch in 2009. -Initiated in New york city (Middle schools in The bronx, Brooklyn and Manhatten),

in order to create and underpin online communities where students can discuss topics related to courses as well as provide help to each other.
as the validation of the work of the students is sometimes based on peer assessments by fellow course participants.
and without students to develop new ways for students to learn about everything from history to maths and English language to biology,
and with students on the school curriculum in line with the Common Core standards. While the Quest to Learn partnership isn't an organised online network
In fact all cases support knowledge communities for the students, teachers and sometimes parents or other pedagogical staff and to varying degree technical designers (for instance game designers in the Quest to learn example.
and are supported by the relevant technologies to enable a seamless experience from the users'perspective be it the student or teacher.
For example in School of One the student logs on and reviews his instructions for the day,
or he just as well might be scheduled to receive live instructions by a teacher along with 10 other students.
Students of approximately the same educational level are divided into a small number of teams. These teams then serve as home base despite the individual students tailored instructions.
This means that most of the group teaching takes place within the team, and in addition the teams compete with each other on a friendly basis based on academic results,
and on a par with other schools in the city serving students with similar characteristics MONDEY:
and it makes the individual student the center of attention. By use of information on the students'preferred teaching modalities, prior knowledge and learning pace, School of One helps the students fill gaps from previous years as well as practice exactly the skills they need.
Personalised education and new learning environments 3. Increase in educational personalisation MOOCS: One of the strengths of Coursera is that learning occurs at the time and location that best suits the participant.
so as to meet each student's specific needs and abilities, as well as preferred ways of learning. Professor Why:
Each student or child can on her own without any teacher learn chemistry by playing a game.
and validation system MOOCS-Coursera's way of organising its courses has changed the way students participate in education courses.
Finally the assessment of the students'work is sometimes based on peer review and hence Coursera is using the students as a resource to validate assignments blurring their role as simple students to a more instructor oriented role.
A role that different studies has shown to result in accurate feedback for the student as well as valuable learning for the grader (Coursera, 2014.
MONDEY-With MONDEY, knowledge about early childhood development is easily accessible and easy to apply as it is free of costs.
Traditionally the need for higher education in society has been handled by higher education institutions such as universities offering courses in specific geographical locations with access only to a limited number of admitted students.
and democratising access to higher education as there is open access for students meaning that anyone everywhere in the world can participate in an online course for free.
They present a shift in the relationship between student and teacher, open new learning possibilities and shift the learning focus
It also serves as a resource for students to observe and participate in a live design process.
Personalised education & new learning environments As education becomes tailored to the individual student's needs,
Hereby gaps in the student's prior knowledge is filled to create a better foundation for future learning.
This implies that individual students do no longer depend on their classmates to move forward or practice some skills in greater detail.
This makes the learning environment more flexible and adaptive to the students'individual needs and pace in order to boost their learning experience.
the students are given effectively the help and challenges estimated to provide them with the opportunity to learn.
and constantly monitor the students'learning progression which creates a better awareness and understanding of what works,
how fast and effectively the students are learning as well as how the oral instructors collaborate and share knowledge with and through School of One.
unused capacity also plays a part as high school students which excel at math as well as university students passionate about teaching get a chance to be involved.
and they might often move on to try out their teaching skills in small groups of students.
Given the often smaller groups of students and need for one-to-one advice, the capacities of young teachers-to-be can be utilised
Members of the public often believe that students and teachers at Q2l are playing video games all day,
it staff and students the process is important, rather than the product. It's about the process and not games.
and students enter school with completely different backgrounds or in contexts of high mobility and transition from one school to the other (the implication of the trend of increasingly mobile workforces).
processes of how to ideally involve all user groups such as students and teacher for the maximum outcome require a few rounds of students.
At the same time a school like this is under pressure to demonstrate significant success by producing students with significantly higher maths skills than ordinary schools.
Professor Why on the other hand does not represent an alternative school form and thus struggles to attract enough users to be a sustainable business model to achieve significant outcomes in terms of higher achievement of its students in chemistry.
It needs to be cheap, state-of the art user friendly and attractive to a demanding target audience,
and enables the possibility of providing massive courses as there is unlimited space for students in an online class room.
and the teachers involved in the different courses can reach a large amount of different students with their courses in a cost effective way.
The School of One platform effective matches assets and needs as students with individual strengths
and the need for class rooms with more students as well as more inclusion is apparent. The individually tailored programs of the School of One initiate might make that transition easier.
i e. on how much students learn; not how much time they spend in the classroom. The School of One example suggests that there are alternative ways of good schooling
'as not all students will learn equally well by studying the same curriculum and receiving instructions by use of the same teaching modes.
Four months later Coursera had hit 1 million enrolled students across 196 countries (Coursera, 2012.
In the MOOCS case, communities of teachers and students alike are only virtual, whilst in most other examples ICT supports online as well as physical communities.
whilst students are required also to present a business plan in order to obtain certain university qualifications. 6. 5. 2. Promoting business initiative, cooperatives and self-employed work In order to drive the creation of new businesses,
in line with the sharp reduction in the number of publicly funded universities and the number of students.
There are numerous university-based research centres as the region (Budapest) is also the centre of Hungarian tertiary education with around half of Hungarian students attending universities in the region.

It is open to all members and communities for contribution students and researchers, civil society organisations, governmental and intergovernmental organisations, multilateral institutions, businesses, statistical offices,
thus supporting explorative learning, developing students'research skills, preparing and processing student projects completed in collaboration with museum education officers
and enabling the integration of real museum objects into the theoretical content of the education curriculum.
Together, all of these activities combine to establish a hands-on and active relationship between students and their local and regional history.
which is what most students are now doing on their own. Today, students acquire knowledge in ways that are self-directed
and involve both peers and adults. Digital media allow students to learn from each other in informal situations,
making learning in and out of school"increasingly porous, "therefore the educational institutions have a problem,
Students are being inundated with undigested information which can easily create paralysis by having so much that it cannot possibly be digested.
If students don't know where to start and what is the point of reference, they may easily get gridlocked.
In that sense, one of the main goals of today's education has to be to teach students,
FINDINGS It is now untenable to hold onto a notion that in four years a university can turn a freshman student into an educated and refined person.
Today is nearly impossible in four educational years to give a student all the possible elements of professionalism
and it was created to efficiently convey information from the instructor to the students in the traditional classroom setting.
Consequently, we are finding that students are learning much more in these informal environments because they are voluntarily engaging in information,
Digital technologies and social media allow students to learn from each other in informal settings anywhere and anytime
Today students learn in ways that are self-directed, and involve both peers and adults. When you go online, social networking sites, a video game, etc.
Advocates of social media in the classroom claim that social media tools can ignite students'curiosity and ingenuity, exposed them to content experts and real-world examples of classroom lessons,
Digital and social media tools can also support students to develop technological skills; to be creative;
7 july 2015 657 environments as the interaction between a teacher, a student, and curriculum (the content which a student supposed to be learning).
New digital technology and media also allow specifically and personally tailored instruction to a great numbers of students.
The result is a new form of culture where knowledge is seen as fluid and evolving, the personal is enriched both
in which students decide the terms and conditions of their learning rather than following a prescribed route.
Since students would be aiming toward their personal interests, they would be motivated far more to learn.
For example, the universities provide a common physical space for a diverse group of students to interact in the real world
According to a 2012 U s. Department of education study, students who took all or part of their instruction online performed better,
When students do meet in the classroom with an instructor the face-to-face class can now focus on higher-level skills
since the basics are known by all students and were covered already through the e-learning part of the class.
We have this ideal of how one teacher may profoundly affect a great number of students.
but the society and the profile of students who are enrolling into the universities is changing at a speed that is becoming increasingly difficult to handle.
Accommodating this new generation of ever-changing students is going to be a monumental task for institutions of higher education.
and unattractive for the new generation of students. These educational approaches must change as universities rethink their traditional roles and their modes of operation.
