DOES16 London - Pat Reed - Mind the GAAP: A Playbook for Agile AccountingGene Kim
Mind the GAAP: A Playbook for Agile Accounting
Pat Reed, Principal Consultant, iHoriz Inc.
With disruptive technology advances, software assets play an increasingly important role in creating competitive advantage through effectively managing business software assets.
As organizations leverage agile practices to deliver better customer value faster, they consistently fall into process traps that block success because agile labor cost accounting is misunderstood and misreported, impacting taxation, higher volatility in Profit and Loss (P&L) statements, and sometimes even dramatic, unnecessary staff cuts in an economy where talent retention is vital to innovation.
This session shares a practical playbook to avoid common pitfalls and gain awareness of what you can do to evolve accounting and reporting practices to leverage the financial advantage of agile and benefit from the significantly increased tax savings and bottomline benefits available with agile capitalization.
This session will unravel the pitfalls and benefits of agile capitalization and explain how to appropriately interpret and apply generally accepted accounting standard (GAAP SOP 98-1 and ASC 350-40) so your organization can increase its agile adoption to deliver more business value faster to customers.

Social Media: Are you maximising its potential? #AHEIAJoyce Seitzinger
Invited Speaker presentation at the Australian Higher Educational Industrial Association (AHEIA) conference in Sydney, 17 May 2013.
This audience consisted mainly of HR managers in higher education organisations, so I aimed to show the rise of the networked academic and the advantages of networked practices by employees, and ask them if/how the organisation's policies enable or support those networked practitioners.
These are the slides from a presentation given to the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Oil Chemists' Society. It was the third and last presentation in a Forum on Emerging Technologies.
I have made an attempt to capture my talk by adding notes to explain what I was getting at with the graphics. I believe I've been more successful on some slides than I have been on others. Some I have yet to annotate. For some reason this presentation would not upload here when I attempted to share it shortly after I gave it and I was laboring under the mistaken notion it was too large. I have no idea what actually happened and it is my fault it's taken me so long to provide it.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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
Do we need an agile learning community of practice. This is a genuine question. In a minute I’m going to make my argument for why the answer is Yes. But if I’m wrong, I’d be really grateful if you could tell me, and stop me from wasting more of my time. I’m going to assume that you all know what a Community of Practice is - in broad terms its an informal group of practitioners who learn the tools of their trade through apprenticeships, conversations and day-to-day interactions. I’m also not going to define what agile learning is in any precise terms. Generally, it’s the kind of stuff that people talk about at an event like this. If you want to find out more what I think about it, there’s a newspaper with seven interviews I did, and one interview with me. The newspaper represents the conversations I had to try and get things clearer in my own mind. But the precise definition remains a work-in-progress, something for the community to refine, not for one person.
Let’s talk a bit more about the community we might have here. In DIY U, Anya Kamenetz describes three guilds that are involved in transforming HE. The artisans are the people who work are gradually changing things from within via changes in policy and grafting new initiatives on the established structures. The merchants are the people who see the challenges for HE as an opportunity to make money, meeting learners’ needs in new ways. They hang out with venture capitalists. Then there are the monks…
My bet is that the monks are the guild best represented in this room. Let’s get a show of hands: are you principally an artisan, a merchant or a monk? OK, so maybe this event is a kind of festival for our secular community, pitched between Yule and Candlemas in the pagan calendar. If that’s the case, maybe I’m playing it safe by asking you if we need a community of practice, because, by being here, you’ve already kind of hinted that such a thing looks useful to you. But if I can’t convince you of the point, then I won’t be able to convince anyone.
A bit about me, and how I came to be part of this brotherhood. When I started in the field that we hadn’t yet christened as e-learning, any advocacy for online learning was seen as a kind of punk attitude. At least it was within Technology-Based Training, where people were getting excited that the kind of interactive content that had originally required high-spec video disc players, was now reaching common or garden desktop PCs via the CD-ROM drive. The internet, with its pathetic bandwidth, was definitely seen as a step back from this rich content approach. In 1997, when we started offering these accredited online courses with the Sheffield College and Manchester College of Arts and Technology, we were early adopters of CSS to minimise page loading for learners with 14.4Kbit modems. The richness, we argued was in the conversations with tutors and peers that CD-ROMs couldn’t offer.
The experience of offering those courses was what you might call a mitigated failure. But the experience stood me, and the people I was working with, in good stead, and I spent a few good years working on the kinds of (mostly public sector) learning websites that get called portals, channels and gateways.
They might be loath to admit it but these tend to work on the “build it and they will come” model. Frequently there was a lot of good stuff there, but the intended users found it difficult to get to it. There were a bundle of reasons for that, from poor information architecture and usability, to getting lost in a bundle of self-justifying ‘push’ material from the providers. Mission creep was endemic. Some of these systems - and I’m not necessarily referring to those shown here - felt so disconnected from the everyday practice of their users that they were almost sclerotic and top heavy from the day they were launched. Time and time again, when speaking to those users, you’d hear the same refrain: “It’s easier just to use Google”
So I got interested in what people were actually doing when they said they were using Google. This opens up the whole space around informal learning, or what I sometimes call feral learning. How do you learn when no one has been assigned the role of guiding your learning? What do people do when they have to make do? I had a hunch that when we get good at making do,when we get good at scavenging and/or cultivating the online commons, we may find it more satisfying, enjoyable and effective than the alternatives. It might be a bit like making your own furniture without Ikea or growing your own food without Tesco. The book I wrote a few years ago now was a study of one area where people learn stuff in a social online medium without even thinking that what they’re doing is learning. No one goes on a course to develop their musical preferences, but we explore, we forage around, we take tips from professional gatekeepers and more often from friends. Sometimes we might use the data-crunching recommendation engines as another source. but all this is bound up in a social dynamic of sharing and different kinds of intrinsic motivation.
All of this comes in starker relief now that we’re in austere times. We just can’t afford the all-singing all-dancing online cathedrals of learning. But the premise of what I’m calling agile learning is that when you put together this squeeze on budgets with the relative ubiquity of broadband availability and the web 2.0/read-write web, then you’ve got the elements that enable a whole range of new models from established and non-traditional players. These are supporting new ways of learning within and beyond institutions. They’re exploiting the possibilities of connectivity and zero distribution costs. I know you know all this, and I’m not claiming any special insight here. I’m just pointing to some things which at the moment are quite disparate, but which I feel could get better by knitting them together.
And when that happens some chickens start coming home to roost
For example, Do you have to have a grounding in metacognition and learning to learn skills before you can kick off your learning stabilisers and create your own learning. Sugata Mitra’s initiatives suggest that, at least under certain conditions, you don’t Khan Academy shouldn’t work, should it? It’s just automating the old lecture model, it’s not interactive, and the production values are pretty low grade. It’s like a bumble bee that the laws of aerodynamics say shouldn’t be able to fly? But it does.
So I think there are a bundle of new and quite profound questions for which we’re only beginning to feel our way to the answers.
One very small scale example. Over the past year and a half, a group of us in London - schoolteachers, researchers, software designer, artists, charity and community workers, entrepreneurs, consultants - have been meeting weekly in the RFH to talk about self-organised learning. Recently - and spurred on by the prospect of having something to hand out at this event - we produced a short newspaper, based on edited versions of interviews I did last year. You may have seen various ne’er-do-wells reading it. If you’d like a copy, come and get one.
