The document discusses developing an adaptive model and app to recommend MOOCs tailored to the needs and preferences of people with disabilities. It outlines tasks to 1) evaluate MOOC platform and content accessibility, 2) develop a holistic accessibility assessment, 3) analyze accessible metadata for user profiles, 4) define enriched user profiles, and 5) create an accessibility map of MOOCs for different disabilities. The goal is a personalized app that finds the most accessible MOOCs matching a user's competency goals and assistive technology preferences.

Accessibility issues in MOOCs: potential services for people with special needsFrancisco Iniesto
The challenges and options that appear along with recent innovations in online education make researchers to reflect on the barriers that still exist for learners with special needs. In case of vulnerable learner groups, MOOCs seem to include special benefits for them, such as openness, low cost, ubiquity, social learning and the possibility of acquiring knowledge, new competences and develop professionally.
This is the main objective of present doctoral work: to provide an adaptive model for developing a recommendation system dedicated to people with special needs. The system will help these vulnerable users to find best MOOCs that suit their professional needs and that are more accessible for each learner. Both accessibility of eLearning platforms and content is analyzed, therefore the system should adapt its interface to each assistive technology and also the graded list of recommended MOOCs to best fit each user’s device and accessibility requirements.
Today, there are a huge number of software products allow you to completely automate the entire learning process. In order to match the required level of development of e-learning process, it must meet a number of characteristics.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

competences + learner’s preferences.
5. COMPETENCE-BASED RECOMMENDATION APP FOR PEOPLE
WITH FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY
Enriched user profile. There are two main groups of information:
1. list of professional competences the user wants to achieve -> what the person wants
to learn
2. User’s device personalization: preferences / needed assistive technologies ->
technical needs regarding user’s functional diversity.
6. COMPETENCE-BASED RECOMMENDATION APP FOR PEOPLE
WITH FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY
Professional profiles defined by competences.
The system should have professional skills defined to be mapped to user expectations.
MOOC content defined by achievable competences.
The information of competencies within the MOOC platforms and courses.
Accessible MOOCs.
Accessibility evaluation on MOOC platforms and their educational resources
-> automated recommendation list adapted to user’s functional diversity (user’s profile).

18. Learning Profiling:
•Display information: the user preferences to have information displayed or
presented. For example, it is possible to define preferences related to text (fonts and
colors), video (resolution), mouse (pointer, motion), etc.
•Control information: this set defines the user preferences to control the device:
keyboard (virtual), zoom preferences, voice recognition.
•Content information: this set defines the user preferences for visualizing learning
content.
•Privacy and data protection information: The privacy and the data integrity is
considered very important, since the exchanged information can be closely related to
the user’s functional diversity.
TASK 3: ANALYSIS OF ACCESSIBLE METADATA FOR USER PROFILE
DEFINITION
19. Learning Resources:
•Technological: the technology to develop and edit the resources, authoring tools to
facilitate the production of accessible materials or the adaptation of those already
produced.
•Adapted Devices: when a user accesses a resource available on the Internet, it can
be accessed directly or a device would have to be used specifically: screen reader,
specialized mouse, virtual keyboard, magnifying glass, etc.
•Existing Inclusive Methodologies and Educational Standards: in this sense the XML
markup languages have to be mentioned.
