A nursing journal club was started for mental health nurses to help disseminate evidence-based research findings. Due to scheduling difficulties with in-person meetings, an online hybrid journal club model was implemented using Padlet and Microsoft Teams. A survey found that nurses were interested but lacked time and confidence in critical appraisal. The hybrid model provided flexible access and support for critical appraisal skills. After one year, over 100 nurses had participated across 12 sessions. While challenges remain around securing time and technology barriers, the hybrid nursing journal club was a success in connecting research to practice.
The document describes an assignment toolkit created by librarians at Munster Technological University to embed library resources and support directly into coursework. The toolkit contains modules to help instructors integrate open educational resources and research assistance into assignments in a meaningful way. It was developed in partnership with faculty as part of the university's library learning community and aligns with national strategies for enhancing teaching and learning.
Collaborating with students - Reflections on UCC co-creating learning experie...CONUL Teaching & Learning
This document summarizes a project where UCC Library collaborated with students to improve its Canvas course and create interactive learning objects. Six students provided feedback and co-created content like H5P objects and scavenger hunts. Their feedback led to improvements like clearer module structure and interactive elements. Students enjoyed contributing and learning new skills. Challenges included promoting the scavenger hunt app and remote coordination. Future plans include continued accessibility work and student involvement.
This document discusses digital skills workshops and training for early career researchers to help them survive and thrive in a data-driven research environment. It outlines the research process and how various workshops on topics like tidy data, data cleaning, Python, and R aim to provide fundamental computational skills. These workshops follow the Carpentries approach of being hands-on, collaborative, and emphasizing peer learning and experimentation. Potential next steps discussed are expanding topic coverage, offering undergraduate courses, and adding specialist workshops, which will require growing a trainer network and community of practice with ongoing support.
The document discusses makerspaces in university libraries. It defines makerspaces as physical spaces that bring together communities of users around tools and technologies to spur learning, creativity, and innovation. The document outlines three models of makerspace management: pedagogical, platform, and hybrid. It provides examples of student projects in 3D printing, drone photography, and accessibility. The document also discusses workshops on equipment use and outlines some of the tools available in the makerspace, including 3D printers and scanners. It emphasizes that sustained investment of space, funding, and personnel are needed for makerspace success.
This document discusses the changing role of libraries and information literacy in a post-pandemic world. It notes that while libraries have traditionally focused on collections, catalogs, and user education, the modern information landscape requires a focus on digital and information literacies to help students navigate an uncertain digital future. The author advocates for libraries to take a leadership role in developing these literacies, and outlines her success in advocating for her library to create a new "Digital Learning Librarian" role focused on advancing digital literacy skills across the university.
Peter took a 10-week open course on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) which broadened his horizons and challenged his teaching practices, helping him become more creative. UDL improved his cultural awareness of diverse student groups by encouraging him to make learning materials, like using Lego, that are accessible to all students by addressing different learning styles. He is still exploring UDL and hopes to develop more interactive online tools to represent abstract concepts in concrete ways to make them easier for all students to comprehend.
The document discusses Ireland's National Access Plan which provides targets for higher education institutions to meet in order to promote equity, access, participation, and success in higher education from 2022 to 2028. It also discusses staff training opportunities at institutions on topics like Microsoft accessibility features, universal design for learning, digital accessibility, disability awareness, autism awareness, and traveler culture awareness. The key takeaways encourage listening to users, being agile, applying flexibility, utilizing free accessibility features on Microsoft 365, and providing a link for more information.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
