The Digital Department project aims to develop the digital literacy skills of teaching administrators (TAs) at UCL. The project team will review current TA processes and digital skill needs, pilot workshops, and evaluate effects on the student experience. They plan to create an accreditation framework with an external organization and integrate digital literacy into TA induction and professional development. The end goals are to establish best practices, professionalize the TA role, and network with other institutions.

This case study will present findings on developing digital competencies for Library staff arising from the L2L project (www.L2L.ie). L2L was a two year collaborative project based in Ireland led by Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT), with Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and Institute of Technology Carlow (ITC). This project was funded by the National Forum for Teaching and Learning with the aim of exploring its professional development framework (https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/wp-content/uploads/NF-2016-National-Professional-Development-Framework-for-all-Staff-Who-Teach-in-Higher-Education.pdf) through the lens of library staff.
This case study will consider how library staff can identify and chart the development of digital competencies and skills so as to remain current and viable in a constantly evolving digital landscape using the framework. Reflections will be offered on how engaging with the Professional Development Framework and more specifically Domain 5: Personal and Professional Digital Capacity in Teaching, can foster the development of personal proficiency/knowledge in digital competencies thus supporting our role in Teaching and Learning and our professional practice. The concept of drafting a “digital philosophy statement” will be considered and how this can be potentially used as a sustainable CPD tool.

Whether it’s for a job interview, in a team meeting or at the AUA conference, the chances are that you will need to give a presentation at some point in your career. Finding the presentation style that suits you will help you go from death by PowerPoint to creating engaging and memorable sessions for any audience.
Chance and fate in making the connections that ignite the creative spark. At one time or other we all will call on inspiration, support and/or ‘reality checks’ from others with a different perspective, or perhaps wish we had done in hindsight! Some thoughts on how this can happen and how we might help develop an environment to increase the chances of it happening.
We have all been told about the benefits of building a network of contacts, but what can you do if you don’t like ‘networking’? In this talk I will show how I used social media and external organisations to build up my list of contacts and gain a good reputation in HE for my work in data management.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Editor's Notes
History, restructuring FLS – different way of working particularly for TAs, TA = admin support for teaching, programmes, modules, students, so always strong link to students; new working across depts, admin tasks from academics, harmonisation, TAC 2010, successful, TAF, central divisions particularly LTSS and Registry, TAC2011, outcome: need support for induction, personal, professional development of TAs; working across; integration of systemsAftermath of TAC, Lorraine/Stefanie following up, talking to Clive in LTSS, narrative from their perspective – dog that didn’t barkJISC call to apply for funding to support digital literacies, with AUA involvement, successful, part-funding
Investigate and benchmark
ICT/computer literacy: the ability to adopt and use digital devices, applications and services in pursuit of goals, especially scholarly and educational goals.Information Literacy: the ability to find, interpret, evaluate, manipulate, share and record informationMedia Literacy: the ability to critically read and creatively produce academic and professional communications in a range of media communication and collaboration: the ability to participate in digital networks of knowledge, scholarship, research and learning, and in working groups supported by digital forms of communication.digital scholarship: the ability to participate in emerging academic, professional and research practices that depend on digital systems learning skills: the ability to study and learn effectively in technology-rich environments life-planning: the ability to make informed decisions and achieve long-term goals, supported by digital tools and media,
TA workshop – list of common tools; how compare with your list, any tools you use that are not on here? How many tools do you use?Developments in technology make jobs complexIncreasing demands also from another source – student experience and importance of student feedback; student unions and NUS also becoming more focused on student experience – NUS develop charters, focal points for local actions
Central: to support and enhance teaching and learning experienceMore varied student communities, different teaching and learning options, new technology...so need to be more flexible and focusedEnormous range of tools used by TAs, but probably also by other support staff – take a few minutes to think about the tools you use for your work, list the ones you can think of and talk to your neighbour to compare notesHeadings may help you
