We present the results of a small case study in which we developed and tested a set of spreadsheets as a 'do-it-yourself' e-examination delivery and marking environment. A trial was conducted in a first year university level class during 2017 at Monash University, Australia. The approach enabled automatic marking for selected response questions and semi-automatic marking for short text responses. The system did not require a network or servers to operate therefore minimising the reliance on complex infrastructure. We paid particular attention to the integrity of the assessment process by ensuring separation of the answer key from the response composition environment. Students undertook a practice session followed by an invigilated exam. Student's perceptions of the process were collected using pre-post surveys (n = 16) comprising qualitative comments and Likert items. The data revealed that students were satisfied with the process (4 or above on 5 point scales). Comments revealed that their experience was in part influenced by their level of computer literacy with respect to enabling skills in the subject domain. Overall the approach was found to be successful with all students successfully completing the e-exam and administrative efficiencies realised in terms of marking time saved.

Asking the Right Questions, Making the Right Decisions: Selecting Accessibl...Aisha Jackson
This PowerPoint was used in my presentation at the Teaching and Learning Technology Symposium at MSU Denver on Friday, October 22.
Although there are a plethora of web-based learning tools faculty can select from, not all of them will help students learn. There are a number of reasons for this - from the way the course was designed, to the strategies that were used to integrate the technology. This session will focus on one particular component that can impact student learning - accessibility. By the end of this session, participants will be able to: describe issues that poorly designed web-based learning tools cause when being accessed by assistive technologies, list core questions to ask vendors related to the accessibility of their tools, and make informed decisions when selecting academic technologies.

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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.
1. • As you are planning how the laptops will be used, develop a Plan B.
• If you don’t have one already, work on developing a flexible and “go
with the flow” disposition.
• Remind students to bring their UWI Student ID Cards and memory sticks
to class on days that the laptops will be used.
• Communicate expectations for how the laptops should be used to
students.
• If the laptops will be used from the beginning of class, save class time by
putting up a slide with instructions so students can get the laptops
prepared for the activity.
• Speak from behind students to monitor their screens.
• Ask students to close or lower the laptop monitors during activities that
do not require laptop use.
• End the class a few minutes early so that the laptops can be returned in
an orderly fashion.
• Monitor the care of the laptops as if they were your own.

Reservations
• Because we have limited equipment, priority bookings will be given to classes
needing computers for the duration of the course, which cannot be accommodated
in our existing computer labs. The priority for all other bookings will be based
solely on a first request basis.
• Lecturers interested in using the laptops must attend an orientation at the start of
every semester.
• At least 48 hours prior to the class date, Lecturers should send an e-mail to the
SOE_AVTech group in Outlook to schedule their use of the laptops.The e-mail
should include the:
o Course code and title
o Class date, time and location
o Time the laptop should be picked up after class
• Note that Individual laptops cannot be reserved.
• A Technician will respond to the e-mail to confirm that the laptops have been
reserved.
• If there is a change in the schedule, Lecturer’s should inform the Technicians via
e-mail.
Receiving the Laptops
• Lecturers should meet the technicians in their classroom 15 minutes prior to the
start of class. Lecturers must have their id cards to sign-out the laptops.
• Technicians will inform Lecturers of known technical issues prior to signing out the
laptops.
• Lecturers checking out the laptop assume responsibility for the entire cart and its
contents.
• When laptops are distributed in class, they will be assigned to each student. To
facilitate this process, students must have their student identification cards.
• Laptops should not be removed from the classroom they are assigned to.
Using the Laptops
• Students should not save their work on the laptops, as the information will be
deleted upon restart.
• After the class is finished, the Lecturer should ask that students shut down and
reconnect each laptop to its assigned power cable in the cart.
Returning the Laptops
• 15 minutes prior to the end of class, a Technician will return to the class to
confirm that laptops have been shut down, reconnected, and secured.
Support
• It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that the laptop cart is in good working
order.
• Lecturers should notify the Technicians if there are any technical issues with the
laptops as failure to do so may result in the next Lecturer experiencing problems.
Policies and Procedures
Accessing the Net
If the connection screen
appears when accessing the
Internet, students should
enter the following:
username: sastudents/id
number
Password: UWI password
(not the mySecure area
password)
3. 3
• In order to checkout a laptop, bring your UWI Student ID
Card to class.
• Arrive to class with sufficient time to checkout a laptop
before class begins.
• Reserve laptop use to activities related to class.
• During activities that do not require laptop use, close the
laptop or lower the monitor.

Scenarios for Discussion
Scenario 1
Lecturer A planned a dynamic lesson in which the students were asked to compare two internet sites on the same
topic using a set of questions that the class had jointly constructed. They were then asked to upload their findings
to a class wiki. Five minutes into the lesson a message arrived that the wireless network was being repaired and the
Internet could not be used for the rest of the day.
Scenario 2
Teacher B spent hours on Sunday preparing an exciting lesson. She wrote the website she wanted the students to
use in the lesson on the board. She didn’t intend to see the website until half way through the lesson but by the
time she’d noticed the students had already opened their computers and reached the site and were happily
navigating around it even though the rest of the site wasn’t related to the lesson.
