Unlocking the Future: Predictions and Insights from Educational Consultants in Dubai

Education is on a transformative journey, with new trends and developments shaping the landscape. Let's delve into the exciting predictions and insights from educational consultants, who play a pivotal role in guiding this evolution.

1. Hybrid Learning Models: Blending Virtual and In-Person Education

Students engaging in interactive virtual classrooms one day and exploring hands-on projects in physical settings the next. That's the essence of hybrid learning, a trend gaining momentum in Dubai's education sphere. Educational consultants predict that this flexible approach will continue to grow, offering students the best of both worlds and enhancing learning outcomes.

2. Experiential Education: Learning Beyond the Classroom Walls

The future of education isn't confined to textbooks and lectures. Experiential education is taking center stage, encouraging students to learn through real-world experiences and immersive activities. Educational consultants foresee a surge in experiential learning opportunities in Dubai, from internships and field trips to project-based learning, nurturing students' creativity and critical thinking skills.

3. The Evolving Role of Educational Consultants: Navigators of Change

As the education landscape evolves, so does the role of educational consultants. They're no longer just advisors on school choices; they're navigators of change, guiding students and parents through innovative learning models, technology integration, and personalized education pathways. The future sees educational consultants as catalysts for educational transformation, bridging the gap between traditional and modern approaches.

The future of education in Dubai is vibrant and dynamic, with hybrid learning, experiential education, and visionary educational consultants leading the way. Embracing these trends promises a rich and fulfilling learning experience for students, preparing them for success in a rapidly evolving world. Let's embark on this exciting journey together, unlocking the potential of education in Dubai!

2024-01-07 Jenny holding leg in intense worry 😢

Art Timelapse

Thumbnail Timelapse

Art, plus a shadowed version & two thumbnails.(imo, I like the un-shadowed version better, but the shadowed one's starting to grow on me.🙂)

Based off a spur-of-the-moment thumbnail. In the middle of making it, I interpreted it as she’s not feeling “pain” per se (since she doesn’t have nerves); more like slight pressure that she’s cautious could burst.😔

*So sorry!🙇‍♀️Between getting ‘rona again & readjusting, I took a longer break than I intended. Guess this drawing of worry is kinda subconscious😳…Now that I've ruminated on it, it's okay🙂. This was a work-life balance lesson in managing forced breaks (like sickness).

MINI JOURNAL

This was another piece I was exhausted with. Another was the “Jenny slightly pulling back” one. While this “Jenny tending to leg” was over a week, it almost didn't feel any less concentrated with exhaustion.😔Anyways, in both cases, I didn't have too clear of an idea of what the final piece would look like (less so with this new one, as I knew I wanted to keep most of the lines red-orange & color Jenny aqua-green).

Social Media Strategy Tweak

Maybe next time, when in doubt, just keep it a sketch, with no colors or tones??? Tbh, I didnt go that route bc I didn’t want a piece that was too harsh on the eyes from being over a bright white background, but at least a softer white. …Now that I've written it out, it sounds like a dumb reason.😥

Or, was afraid that wasn’t finished enough for IG/social media? Maybe, especially since I wanted to have a red-orange pencil-sketch style in there. Maybe be a little more elaborate & have black cleaner ink lines & grey base tones (like your ‘quick traditionally-styled storyboard’ art style)?

Wait, I just remembered: could do sketches, but do that Natalie Nourigat “draw the pose 5 times” exercise.

The exception will be the Jenny Injured diptych (to still be colored but not further pushes gesture-wise (tbh, I again want to try to get done as quickly as possible)...plus, I'll just say, “something different.” 😉

Personal Preferences & Little Backburner

Imo, I like the shadow-less version. Jenny's legs contrast better with the background, and the colors are closer to what I ended up having in mind.

Yes, even the unconventional red-orange linework with cyan base colors😄. I’d actually been meaning to try that out on a piece; tbh, I just like red-orange/vermilion-colored pencil sketches.😊 I was doing another red-orange pencil, Krita sketch in October that I wanted to try that color scheme on, but the perspective needed retooling.😵‍💫

BTS

I actually had this, along with a thumbnail for a completely different piece, on the backburner. While I wanted to do the other one, I went with this more unclear-looking one. That way, I could finish it before I forgot what I had in mind.

After I was well into the finalized sketch, I found a 2nd, more pushed-gesture version of one of  the thumbnails. That’s when I decided to try not to spend too much time on this piece; I wanted to re-do it with this pushed gesture.

Also, after a while of using one of my go-to Krita watercolor brushes from last time (WaterC Flat Decay TIlt), I got really mentally exhausted. Played around with doing the painting stage in Adobe Fresco, but despite Fresco’s watercolor brushes feeling far more comfortable, I wanted to keep this artwork quick. Therefore, I just continued the painting in Krita.

Oh, and instead of erasing the extra pencil lines, I covered most of them up with white.

Plus, that monitor profile changing fixed my colors after all!😊 I’ve gotten my solution written down somewhere. I’ll try to post it sometime.

SELF CRITIQUE

(-) Iffy depth on the navy-blue block of color

(-) Mouth kinda looks like she’s smiling???

(+) Good foreshortening on Jenny & the chair

(+) Great gesture/line-of-action into the hurt leg; decently faithful to thumbnail’s gesture. Improvement from that in “A Place of a Contemplating Robot”

Shadow-less version

(-) L hand [our POV] gets lost in the sticking-out leg

Shadow-ed version

(-) Sticking-out leg disappears into the ground

(-) L arm should have harder edges on the shadow

 (+) L hand has hard-edged shadows

(-) Bent leg’s foot also has too soft of shadows

ART SUPPLIES

Hardware: Alienware x14, Huion Inspiroy H610PRO V2 pen tablet, & IMAGE Light Pad Stand A3

Software: Krita (art & timelapse), Autodesk Sketchbook (thumbnail & its timelapse)

(v 1.1) Krita Redux- Pencil (AFresco) - linework & white cover-ups. Less-aliased version of my custom brush

Need of Web Development Services for E-learning Businesses

In today's digital age, e-learning businesses are experiencing significant growth. With the rise of online education, businesses in the e-learning sector need robust, scalable, and user-friendly websites to offer a seamless learning experience to their users. This is where web development services play a pivotal role. Here’s why web development is essential for e-learning businesses.

1. Creating a User-Friendly Learning Platform

A well-designed, easy-to-navigate website is the foundation of any e-learning business. Learners, educators, and administrators need to be able to access resources without difficulty. Through professional web development, your platform can feature intuitive navigation, clean layouts, and responsive designs that make learning enjoyable and straightforward for users of all technical skill levels.

Responsive Design: Ensures the platform works seamlessly across devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).

Easy Navigation: Users can quickly find courses, schedules, resources, and tools.

2. Custom Learning Management System (LMS) Integration

An LMS is the backbone of any e-learning business. It enables the management of course materials, student enrollment, assessments, and progress tracking. Web development services allow businesses to either build a custom LMS or integrate third-party LMS platforms to meet specific needs.

Custom Features: Build unique features such as gamification, personalized dashboards, and learner analytics.

Third-Party Integrations: Integrate popular LMS platforms like Moodle, Blackboard, or TalentLMS for a smooth user experience.

3. Scalability and Flexibility

As e-learning businesses grow, they need websites that can scale effortlessly to accommodate increasing traffic, new courses, and additional features. Web development services offer flexible solutions that can grow with the business.

Scalable Infrastructure: Build platforms that grow with user demand, adding new features, courses, or users as necessary.

Cloud-Based Solutions: Leverage cloud hosting for easy scalability and higher availability.

4. Advanced Security Features

E-learning platforms handle sensitive user data, including personal information and payment details. Professional web developers ensure the implementation of robust security measures to protect both learners and instructors.

SSL Encryption: Secure data transmission to protect personal and payment details.

User Authentication: Implement multi-factor authentication and secure login methods to prevent unauthorized access.

5. Interactive and Engaging Features

A static e-learning website won’t retain users for long. To keep learners engaged, modern e-learning platforms must integrate interactive features such as quizzes, discussion forums, live chat, and multimedia content. Through custom web development, your site can offer these features and more.

Multimedia Support: Enable videos, images, animations, and other content to make lessons more interactive.

Quizzes and Assessments: Integrate quiz features that provide immediate feedback and progress tracking.

6. Content Management System (CMS)

A content management system (CMS) is critical for e-learning businesses to manage courses, blogs, tutorials, and resources efficiently. Web developers can integrate a CMS into your website to streamline content creation and management without requiring technical expertise.

Ease of Use: Content can be added, edited, or updated easily without coding knowledge.

Course Management: Organize courses, modules, and materials with ease.

7. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for Better Visibility

For an e-learning business to succeed, it needs to be visible on search engines. Effective SEO strategies implemented by web developers can enhance your website’s ranking, making it easier for potential students to find your platform.

Keyword Optimization: Incorporating targeted keywords related to your e-learning courses.

SEO-Friendly URL Structures: Organizing content in a way that search engines can easily index.

8. Seamless Payment Integration

One of the most critical aspects of any e-learning business is the ability to handle transactions smoothly. Web development services enable the integration of secure payment gateways such as PayPal, Stripe, or custom payment methods to accept fees, subscriptions, or course payments.

Secure Transactions: Protect users' financial information with encryption.

Flexible Payment Options: Offer various payment methods, including subscriptions, one-time payments, and installment options.

9. Data Analytics and Reporting

A well-designed e-learning platform can provide detailed reports on student progress, course completion rates, and learner engagement. Data analytics is invaluable for making informed business decisions, improving courses, and enhancing user experience.

Learner Analytics: Track student progress, engagement, and behavior to refine learning experiences.

Course Analytics: Get insights into which courses are most popular or have higher dropout rates.

10. Brand Identity and Trust

A polished, professional website helps establish your brand identity and builds trust with potential learners. Custom web development services ensure that your site is visually appealing and aligned with your brand’s goals.

Custom Branding: Incorporate your logo, colors, and overall branding to make your platform memorable.

Trust Signals: Display customer testimonials, certifications, and accreditations to build credibility.

Conclusion

Web development services are the backbone of successful e-learning businesses. Whether you’re creating an entirely new e-learning platform or enhancing an existing one, investing in custom web development can provide you with a competitive edge. From user experience and security to LMS integration and scalability, professional developers ensure that your platform not only meets user needs but also positions your business for growth.

If you’re looking to create or improve your e-learning website, partnering with an experienced web development team can help you bring your vision to life. With the right features and a user-centered design, your e-learning business can deliver an exceptional learning experience to students worldwide.

My nerve-wracking job interview experience in Filipino

As part of our Filipino sa Piling Larang subject, we had to go through a job application process, write an application letter, prepare a curriculum vitae, and face a real interview. Since my dream job is to become an Industrial Engineer, I applied for that position. I thought I was ready, but there was one challenge I didn’t expect to struggle with so much: the entire interview had to be in Filipino.

I won’t lie, I was nervous. Speaking formally in Filipino felt different from how I usually talk. I kept stumbling over my words, trying to find the right way to express my thoughts. My mind sometimes went blank, and I felt I wasn’t explaining myself well.

Despite the struggle, I pushed through. I did my best to answer every question, even if my words weren’t perfect. The experience made me realize how important it is to be confident and prepared, no matter the language. It also taught me that interviews aren’t just about speaking fluently, they’re about showing determination and a willingness to learn.

In the end, I may have been nervous, but I’m still proud that I faced the challenge. This was a learning experience, and next time, I’ll be even more prepared.

RespectAbility, a non-profit organization championing inclusion for people with disabilities, is taking its flagship Entertainment Lab program to the next level. In a significant move for its sixth year, the program is expanding from a six-week intensive to a five-month format. This extended timeframe aims to empower disabled creatives with a deeper dive into industry knowledge, practical application opportunities, and a more sustainable learning experience. RespectAbility Ups the Ante Deepening the Learning Experience: More Time for Growth Previously offered as a summer intensive, RespectAbility's Entertainment Lab has consistently provided disabled professionals with valuable industry insights and networking opportunities. However, the new five-month format promises a more comprehensive experience. "The move is intended to give the fellows more time between sessions to put their learnings into practice," the organization explains. This extended timeframe allows participants to not only absorb the information but also implement it in their projects before the following lab session. Lauren Appelbaum, RespectAbility's Senior Vice President of Entertainment and News Media, emphasizes the benefit of this expanded format, particularly for individuals with specific disabilities. "The cadence of the lab's part-time structure helps make it more accessible to people with certain types of disabilities, such as traumatic brain injuries," she explains. The extended format allows for a more manageable learning pace, catering to diverse needs and learning styles. Addressing Industry Needs: Filling the Talent Pipeline with Qualified Disabled Creatives The creation of the Entertainment Lab stemmed from a recurring challenge faced by the entertainment industry: the difficulty in finding and hiring talented disabled professionals. "We first created this lab as a solution to the response that we would often receive from studios, producers, and independent filmmakers who wanted to hire disabled writers, directors, and others but claimed they 'couldn't find' or 'didn't know' anyone," Appelbaum shares in a statement. The program's success speaks volumes. With nearly 200 alumni to date, RespectAbility is actively bridging the gap between talented individuals and industry opportunities. Responding to a Changing Landscape: Building on Feedback and Expanding Opportunities RespectAbility's commitment to continuous improvement is evident in its response to feedback and industry trends. "As an alumna of the lab's 2020 cohort, I am excited about the changes for the 2024 cohorts, which is a response to the changing climate of the entertainment industry and feedback from our rapidly growing alumni community," states Lesley Hennen, RespectAbility's Senior Associate of Entertainment Pipeline Programming and the Lab's day-to-day manager. This responsiveness ensures the program stays relevant and impactful in the evolving entertainment landscape. The expanded timeframe also translates to larger cohorts. Hennen reveals, "This year we will have the opportunity to welcome more than 50 disabled creatives into our pipeline programming." This significant increase provides a wider pool of talent for the industry while empowering an even greater number of aspiring disabled professionals. Beyond the Lab: A Multi-Pronged Approach to Inclusion The Entertainment Lab is just one facet of RespectAbility's comprehensive approach to fostering inclusivity in entertainment. In addition to the expanded virtual lab, they are launching six new in-person mini-intensives this summer, focusing on specific areas within the industry. Details regarding these mini-intensives and participant announcements will be forthcoming. RespectAbility's dedication to this cause is further bolstered by its impressive list of supporters, including industry giants like Amazon MGM Studios, Coverfly, Final Draft, the Golden Globe Foundation, the Harnisch Foundation, Murray/Reese Foundation, NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures Entertainment, the Walt Disney Company, and Warner Bros. Discovery. This collaborative effort demonstrates the growing commitment to diversity and equity within the entertainment industry.
