Northwest ISD is using ePortfolios to prepare students for college and careers. The district developed a "Profile of a Graduate" outlining skills like literacy, digital skills, problem solving, and collaboration. Students create ePortfolios in Google Sites to collect artifacts demonstrating their skills and reflect on their learning. Teachers facilitate the process and students take ownership of their portfolios. The ePortfolios allow students to showcase their work and development to potential employers or colleges.

Innovations for Advancing Faculty Engagement and Curriculum IntegrationCIEE
This highly interactive session will showcase a range of innovative data-driven tools, new research, and other initiatives that have been leveraged successfully to advance faculty engagement in U.S. education abroad. Panelists will provide examples from numerous institutional contexts to ensure broad appeal and potential replication including: data-driven approach to curriculum integration (CI); research on leveraging education abroad as a high-impact practice linked to student retention, persistence, and academic performance; and creative ways study abroad providers support faculty engagement and curriculum integration efforts.

Engaging Generation Z: Integrating Global and Local Vision, Structure, and In...CIEE
How are universities responding to two recent paradigm shifts impacting global education? First, there is a generational change between millennials and the new cohort known as K or Z. While our current traditional undergraduates may be more anxious, skeptical, and know only smartphones, they also crave connection and are makers, creators, and inventors. (“Think millennials have it tough? For 'Generation K', life is even harsher.” The Guardian, March 19, 2016) The second shift is the increased fluidity between global and local interactions and groups. As classrooms continue to diversify with international and first-generation students, the university community – students, faculty, and staff – must obtain and demonstrate intercultural agility, curiosity, and empathy to navigate the complexities of the contemporary world. This session addresses how the University of St. Thomas has implemented into its administrative structure an innovative partnership between faculty from diverse disciplines and education abroad professionals to address the new realities of global and local engagement that respond to the world’s most pressing needs.

A proposal for the PISA 2018 Assessment of Global CompetenceEduSkills OECD
Globalisation brings innovation, new experiences and higher living standards, but it equally contributes to economic inequity and social division. That’s why this generation requires new capacities. Young people need to collaborate with people from different disciplines, cultures and value systems, in a way that solves complex problems and creates economic and social capital. They need to bring judgement and action to difficult situations in which people’s beliefs and standards are at odds.
For some years, educators have been discussing how best to build these capacities. Is there a distinctive competence that equips young people for the culturally diverse and digitally-connected communities in which they work and socialise? And can students learn to mobilise knowledge, skills, values and attitudes, in order to act creatively, collaboratively and ethically?
These issues are now at the heart of international education discussion.

Learning in the 21st century is complicated. Not only are learners expected to acquire disciplinary (and even interdisciplinary) knowledge, skills and abilities, they also need to integrate their learning in different situations and across their learning careers to demonstrate their capacities for future opportunities.
Electronic portfolios (ePortfolios) allow learners to make connections between their learning in different contexts (academic, workplace, and community) and to document their learning over time – making visible the evidence of their experience.
In this talk, Tracy Penny Light will share ePortfolio examples from North America to highlight the affordances that they provide to learners to document what they know, understand, and are able to do. The most successful ePortfolio initiatives intentionally integrate evidence-based pedagogies to set learners up for success by engaging them in flexible and lifelong learning, and student-centered teaching and assessment practices that facilitate 21st century learning and identity development
Current narratives in HE are moving beyond a narrow focus on securing employment for students to include them developing a wider and more holistic set of 'attributes'. This brief presentation summarises this trend and explore some of the challenges and future trends that may result.

Knowledge, while crucial, is just one piece of the "global citizen" puzzle so many universities are trying to solve. Intercultural effectiveness — the hallmark of global citizenship — requires affective and behavioral learning as well as cognitive. Integrating effective fostering of global citizens into the university mainstream requires significant involvement by faculty. During this session, we'll provide ideas for how faculty might become more deeply and effectively engaged in promoting intercultural learning at universities, even contributing to promotion and tenure documents regarding the “mentoring” of undergraduate students. We'll also share some early success stories.

iPad, with its Apple platform and interoperability-dependent material conditions, bring complex barriers in its adoption and integration in secondary education system as a learning tool. In the schools’ context, it is an emerging educational technology for its affordances supporting collaborative learning. This systematic literature review on the barriers to the integration of iPad in primary and secondary schools is based on 13 peer-reviewed and full-text articles. The paper discusses what are the challenges in using iPad as a learning tool in primary and secondary educational settings. The identified barriers are discussed in three broad categories or stages of innovation process in an educational context: basic challenges with the tool, barriers to the integration of the iPad in a school setting, and barriers in the use of the iPad.

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.

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.
