Best Ways to Collaborate Online in 2021
Collaboration is a messy word. Everyone seems to call everything collaboration these days. After 18 months of pandemic and never-ending lockdowns, we have all been forced to adapt and survive. But, as we move into the new normal of constant hybrid and remote meetings, what works and what doesn’t?
col·lab·o·ra·tion
/kəˌlabəˈrāSH(ə)n/
Noun: the action of working with someone to produce or create something.
By this definition, everything is a form of collaboration! Phone calls, emails, text messages, slack messages and everything in between can be considered as collaboration. But our world changed, and now remote meetings require a new definition for collaboration.
What is Remote Collaboration?
Re-mote col·lab·o·ra·tion
/rəˈmōt/ /kəˌlabəˈrāSH(ə)n/
noun: the action of engaging with our remote audience to make them feel like something was done.
How many of us really engage with our meeting participants and make them feel like they had a memorable experience? How many meetings do you remember from last month? If you are like me, everything is a gray blur, and you rarely remember anything that was said or done in a remote meeting. In fact, most of us forget 90% of what was said within 48 hours.
What are the best practices to change this? Let’s break it down.
What is the best video conferencing app?
A great meeting starts with a great video conferencing app. What is ideal for you? Here are my personal experiences. At the end of the day, every platform will give you the same basic features. Great screen sharing experience, good camera quality and audio. But there are differences to their user experience.
Zoom
Zoom is a leader (and arguably the most high-profile of the pack) in the VU\UC industry, tackling unified communications with their cloud platform for video, audio conferencing, collaboration, chat, and webinars across all endpoints.
Advantages:
Free version available
Can easily join a meeting, don’t even have to sign in
Really fast to open the app and get started
Easy to share meeting details using meeting ID and password
Easy to use interface
Options for hardware GPU acceleration for enhanced performance
Disadvantages:
Second screen support is not strong
Whiteboard is weak and very basic; very hard and frustrating to use
No presentation mode at all
No integration with Outlook to create and distribute meetings – need to do it from the zoom app
Zoom’s strength is the simplicity of the software. You can launch and join a meeting within a few seconds. Everyone distributes the ID and password, and you don’t even need to login and authenticate to join if you have the relevant information.
Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is Microsoft’s all-encompassing workstream collaboration plus unified communications platform – combining meetings, chats, calls, and file sharing with the Office 365 application stack to bring everyone together in a shared workspace.
Advantages:
Tight integration with Microsof
Google Apps are a suite of applications that you use online without having to install on your computer. Google apps include Email, Calendar, Documents & Spreadsheets and more...

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.

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 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.

9. Recommendation
From a usability perspective both video conferencing programs
offer a variety of benefits that are easy to operate and access.
Setting up an account does not take much and both options are
reliable and meet the needs for screen sharing, voice, video, and
messaging communications. From an instructional stand-point
Zoom provides a more secure, expansive, and accessible platform.
Security features that differ from Hangouts include privacy from
sharing personal phone numbers or emails. Additionally, more
users (85 more) can participate in a Zoom conference for the same
cost. When evaluating the accessibility, Zoom is adaptable to more
platforms and does not require a user to have a certain operating
system, cloud-based computing platform, or interactive device. For
personal use, I prefer to use Google Hangouts because I utilize the
G Suite for most, if not all, of my personal computing and
cloud-based services. As an educator for public education and my
involvement with business and higher-education administrators
Zoom would prove to be more beneficial because of the additional
features and compatibility for all users.
