PurposeEventough literature has highlighted the importance of the professional learning community (PLC), there isa dearth of research on the design and implementation of a large scale PLC. Two research questions guidedthis 3-year research project: (1) How can a PLC be experienced effectively with university-Ministry of NationalEducation collaboration in a provincial socio-ecologic environment? (2) What are the effects of a PLC on teachersand their students?MethodThree provinces in Turkey (east, west, and central) were chosen with the following five activities; (1) Comprehensiveneeds analysis of secondary school physical education (PE) teachers competency needs was undertaken,(2) Technology-enhanced synchronous and asynchronous LMS guided learning with the PLC, 3) Teacher facilitatorswere selected and trained to work in each province, (4) 14 PLCs were designed and facilitated over sixweeks, and (5) An impact analysis of PLC on teachers’ and the learning of their students’ learning was undertaken.ResultsFindings from this study showed that professional development in a PLC, planned based on a teacher competencyneeds analysis and using web-based training support, can be effectively disseminated throughout thecountry when provided under the leadership of trained teacher facilitators. Results also showed that the professionallearning of teachers participating in these PLCs improved and contributed to their students’ learningabout the lesson subject.The symposium would share results of three sections of the large scale research;A comprehensive needs assessment of physical education teachers in Turkey: First step toward designing qualityprofessional development opportunities.Design and implementation of a LMS for physical education teachers’ learning communitiesEffects of a large scale learning community on the physical education teachers’ and the learning of their studentsEngage the audience in discussion around the findings and implications of this work for professional developmentthat might be undertaken internationally.214

Modular embedded system design / implementation for mechatronic education and research Nursal, Ali Özgü; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) In this thesis a modular embedded system for Mechatronics education and research is designed and implemented. Four types of control boards are manufactured and related software is developed at board and PC level. A star like topology is used for boards architecture. One bridge board is responsible for handling communication between the PC and all the other boards that are connected independently to that bridge board. For PC communication Universal Seial Bus (USB), for inter peripheral communication serial p...
Increasing role of services in competitive power and innovativeness of firms and industrial clusters Eraydın, Ayda (2007-01-01) The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of different types of global services for industrial firms and clusters in terms of their economic competitiveness and innovative performance. The theoretical debates argue that globalization, deregulation and the new production organization make it necessary to use global services that are supplied easily with the help of new telecommunication technologies. The existing empirical studies provide some supporting evidence. However, they also indicate that gl...
Best Practices Analysis of MOOCs Eşfer Günay, Sezin; Çağıltay, Kürşat (null; 2016-11-16) This paper reports the findings of a best practices analysis work conducted for an EU project which focuses on developing 100 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). With the aim to examine the best practices in EU, developed countries, Turkey and BRICS countries, following criteria have been considered: installed a platform for online trainings, online training in Information and Communication technology (ICT), experience in training of adults and training online conten...
Law and Institutions of the European Union Kale Lack, Başak(2014) The objective of this course is to provide students with an analytical understanding and the distinctive characteristics of EU law and its institutions. It emphasize the sui generis character of the EU law, the development of EU's legal system within the institutions of the EU, and the overriding principles that shape the functioning of the EU legal order. Mainly the course aims to give students the perspective and the general understanding of the development of EU's legal order, its relations with regard t...
Informing the Design of Collaborative Activities in MOOCs using Actionable Predictions Er, Erkan; Gomez-Sanchez, Eduardo; Bote-Lorenzo, Miguel L.; Asensio-Perez, Juan I.; Dimitriadis, Yannis (2019-01-01) With the aim of supporting instructional designers in setting up collaborative learning activities in MOOCs, this paper derives prediction models for student participation in group discussions. The salient feature of these models is that they are built using only data prior to the learning activity, and can thus provide actionable predictions, as opposed to post-hoc approaches common in the MOOC literature. Some learning design scenarios that make use of this actionable information are illustrated.
