These include the opportunity to scale up in the training of health workers in low and middle income countries, and the need to prioritise the training of large cadres of low‐ and mid‐level community‐based health workers in attaining targeted health outcomes. Within this context, and in anticipation of the 2nd Global Forum on Human Resources for Health, Bangkok, Jan 25th – 27th 2011, the London International Development Centre (www.lidc.org.uk) will host an International Workshop looking at the role of distance learning in the training of health workers in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Objectives The primary objectives of this Workshop will be: • To discuss major themes associated with the development and implementation of distance learning programmes for health workers (DL4H) in low and middle income countries • To compare and contrast practitioners’ experience of design, delivery, and partnership models in DL4H for health workers in low and middle income countries • To facilitate a sharing of knowledge and experience between key DL4H providers from the UK, US, Africa and Asia In addition, the Workshop will seek to: • Contribute to the establishment of a international network of DL4H practitioners • Assist in fostering new institutional partnerships between educational institutions, NGOs, donors and government agencies Main Themes Among the major themes to be discussed at the Workshop are: • Distance Learning and attainment of the MDGs in Health • Local & International: models of DL4H provision and institutional collaboration • Programme design for DL4H in low and middle income countries • Teaching and learning experiences: providing knowledge, skills and capabilities for health professionals at a distance • Evidence of impact: issues surrounding the evaluation of DL4H contributions to health outcomes For more information about the DL4H International Workshop, please contact Chris Joynes [email protected] To register to attend, please contact [email protected] London International Development Centre 36 Gordon Square, London, WC1H 0PD, UK Tel: + 44 (0) 20 7958 8251 Fax: + 44 (0) 20 3073 8303 3 Annex 1b: DL4H International Workshop Programme DL4H International Workshop Programme 26th and 27th October 2010 Day 1 Tuesday 26th October 2010 Day 1 of the Workshop will take place at the Main Hall, Woburn House, 20 Tavistock Square, London, WC1H 9HQ.

    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 56/2014 DOI: 10.4171/OWR/2014/56 Mathematics in Undergraduate Study Programs: Challenges for Research and for the Dialogue between Mathematics and Didactics of Mathematics Organised by Rolf Biehler, Paderborn Reinhard Hochmuth, Hannover Dame Celia Hoyles, London Patrick W. Thompson, Tempe 7 December – 13 December 2014 Abstract. The topic of undergraduate mathematics is of considerable con- cern for mathematicians in universities, but also for those teaching mathemat- ics as part of undergraduate studies other than mathematics, for employers seeking to employ a mathematically skilled workforce, and for teacher edu- cation. Different countries have made and continue to make massive efforts to improve the quality of mathematics education across all age ranges, with most of the research undertaken particularly at the school level. A growing number of mathematicians and mathematics educators now see the need for undertaking interdisciplinary research and collaborative reflections around issues at the tertiary level. The conference aimed to share research results and experiences as a background to establishing a scientific community of mathematicians and mathematics educators whose concern is the theoreti- cal reflection, the research-based empirical investigation, and the exchange of best-practice examples of mathematics education at the tertiary level. The focus of the conference was mathematics education for mathematics, engi- neering and economy majors and for future mathematics teachers.

  • Learning Progression in Secondary Students' Digital Video Production
    Learning progression in secondary students' digital video production Stephen Connolly London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, University of London This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2013 I hereby declare that, except where explicit attribution is made, the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. 86,000 words (rounding to the nearest thousand and excluding bibliography, references and appendices) ABSTRACT OF THESIS Assessing learning progression in Media Education is an area of study which has been largely neglected in the history of the subject, with very few longitudinal studies of how children learn to become "media literate" over an extended period of time. This thesis is an analysis of data over three years (constituted by the production of digital video work by a small group of secondary school students) which attempts to offer a more extended account of this learning. The thesis views the data through three concepts (or "lenses") which have been key to the development of media education in the UK and abroad. These are Culture, Criticality and Creativity, and the theoretical perspectives that the thesis should be viewed in the light of include the work of Bourdieu, Vygotsky, Heidegger and Hegel. The examination of the student production work carried out in the light of these three lenses suggests that learning progression comes about because of a relationship between all three, the key metaphorical idea put forward by the thesis that describes that relationship is the dialectic of familiarity. This suggests that for media education at least, the learning process is a dialectic one, in which students move from cultural and critical knowledge and experiences that are familiar -or thetic - to ones that are unfamiliar, and hence antithetical.

  • Computer Science at Birkbeck College
    School of Computer Science & Information Systems A Short History Greetings from our founders, Andrew and Kathleen Booth Kathleen and I send our greetings and best wishes to the students and Faculty of the Department of Computer Science at Birkbeck on the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the department in 1957. We wish that we could be with you but constraints of age and health make this impossible. You may like to know that the original department was responsible for building one of the first operational computers in the World, the APEXC and its successors, the M series and the commercial version the HEC machines sold by the then ICT of which over 120 were produced. Having produced the machines we needed teaching material and so produced the first systematic books on modern numerical analysis, programming and computer design. On the research side we started research on Machine Translation, on thin film storage technology for digital storage, and magnetic drum and disc storage. Braille transcription, now touted as a recent IBM invention was actually the work of one of our Ph.D. students. And genetic, self modifying programs were also invented here. These are only a few of our original activities and you are the carriers of a distinguished origin. Kathleen and I (and the late Dr. J.C. Jennings the other member of the original faculty) send you our best wishes for the future. I do not expect to be with you in body in 2058 but I shall be with you in spirit. Andrew & Kathleen Booth Vancouver Island, BC, Canada April 2008 1.
