Copy right is the legal means by which authors and other creators control the use of their work. Teachers who attend this workshop will have an understanding of:
 * What can and cannot be copied and used in their teaching context
 * What can and cannot be reproduced and altered for use in their teaching context

1B - Equella-the what, how and benefits to teachers
** Presenting School: ** RDE Unit - State Office ** Stage of learning: ** All Stages ** Session Focus: ** Learning Design and Production ** Description: ** Teachers who attend this workshop will:
 * • Develop an understanding of the features and applications available on Equella
 * Experience the creation and storage of a learning object
 * Teachers will be inducted into some of the changes that will have an impact on the way they manage digital content so that it can be:
 * used in multiple output and distribution formats (LMS, print, portable media)
 * adapted and cloned to meet individual student learning needs easily discovered by end users

1C - Mobile Learning
** Presenting School: ** RDE Unit - State Office ** Stage of learning: ** All Stages ** Session Focus: ** Supporting and Engaging Students, DE Pedagogies ** Description: ** The internationally respected 2011 Horizon Report reinforces that mobile devices such as are having a growing significance in education. iPads are an evolving computing device that are increasingly a user’s first choice. iPads enable ubiquitous access to information, social networks, tools for learning and productivity, and much more. Understanding how to maximise the benefits of these ubiquitous learning devices and apply them in a quality teaching framework is imperative. This workshop and presentation builds upon the work of Churches, A. (Blooms digital taxonomy), Parkes, R. (Quality teaching and ICT) as well as Mishra, P., & Koehler, M. J. (TPACK).

1D - Modelling, scaffolding and independent practice—providing immediate feedback to students of DE
** Presenting School: ** Southern Cross Distance Education Centre ** Stage of learning: ** All Stages ** Session Focus: ** DE Pedagogies ** Description: ** This workshop will look at the importance of providing guidance through modelling, scaffolding and immediate feedback for students of distance education. We will look at the different ways to present content and explain it, the importance of providing annotations, model answers and scaffolds to allow students to complete exercises independently. We will also explore a variety of activities that are easy to create using accessible software and the different ways of providing feedback to help students improve their understanding and skills as they work towards completing tasks independently for assessment.

1E - DE Learning Modes
** Presenting School: ** RDE Unit - State Office ** Stage of learning: ** All Stages ** Session Focus: ** DE Pedagogies ** Description: ** Teachers who attend this workshop will explore a distance education pedagogy identified through the Distance Education Review. The pedagogy is underpinned by a philosophy of blended learning and an awareness of distance education learning modes. Teachers who attend this workshop will develop an understanding of the teaching and learning features of the four DE Learning Modes; Mobile Learners, Single Course Learners, Home Learners and Curriculum Supported Learners. They will explore these learning modes as a way of guiding them when they:
 * Design and create learning materials
 * Organise and disseminate resources
 * Group their students for their learning activities
