Best Practices for Faculty Development to Promote Adoption of OERUna Daly
Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for a free and open webinar on best practices for Faculty Development to promote OER adoption. Two librarians who are leading efforts in their states to inform and inspire faculty to adopt OER will be featured.
Open Oregon is a project of the Oregon’s community colleges focused on reducing textbooks costs and open education is gaining momentum as an innovative and long-term solution to the problem. Amy Hofer is the statewide coordinator of these efforts and works with all 17 community colleges in Oregon to help promote these efforts through faculty development and sharing resources centrally.
Lansing Community College held its first OER Summit in fall of 2015. With support from their Provost, Regina Gong and her team organized a statewide event for Michigan community college featuring OER thought leaders from many organizations including CCCOER and also faculty from Lansing Community College. It was an important event to inform and advocate for using open educational resources to reduce costs and expand faculty’s curriculum choices.
Date: Wed, February 10, Time: 10 am PST, 1:00 pm EST
Featured Speakers:
• Amy Hofer, Coordinator, Statewide Open Education Library Services, Open Oregon
• Regina Gong, Manager of Library Technical Services and Systems, Lansing Community College
The textbook industry continues to face significant disruption. To help publishers and authors get a handle on upcoming challenges and opportunities, digital textbook pioneer, June Jamrich Parsons surveyed textbook authors to examine trends in digital textbooks and author royalties.
The digital education industry is delivering increased amounts of education content to classrooms every year. Pearson should make a credible entry into this market by providing free eReaders to educational institutions and bundling the eReader with content subscriptions for digital textbooks. Pearson’s entry into the market will help them to retain bargaining power over other eReader providers by providing them with a real value option. By outsourcing the eReader manufacturing, Pearson can combine their design ideas and content with the manufacturing expertise of the outsourcer. Pearson can continue to focus on its core competency of creating unique educational content by partnering with a manufacturer to own the complete end-to-end classroom experience, making the vision of a paperless and interactive classroom a reality.

Cómo innovar en educación. La Educación es uno de los más poderosos agentes de cambios sociales, económicos y personales. ¿Cómo facultar a las personas para enseñar y aprender lo que necesitan hoy y mañana? Encantando a la gente y abriendo las puertas a la innovación. Dar un regalo, no una carga. El foco está en mejorar la vida de las personas, darles facultades y entendiendo sus deseos y necesidades.
This presentation shares planning grant results intended to support exploratory research that will led to a successful external funding for enhancing 21st Century Skill development and fostering collaboration in teacher and librarian education. The presentation seeks to create a synergy between educational and library initiatives by bringing teachers and librarians together in order to orient them to how they can work together toward the goal of ensuring that students are able to achieve the skills outlined in the 21st Century Skills framework. Such training would focus on understanding the role of each profession in the attainment of these skills, offer models of teacher/librarian partnerships, and give students hands on experience that demonstrates the power of the synergy produced by teacher/librarian teamwork. Curriculum developed to meet these goals would be provided as part of teacher and librarian preparatory education and also offered as professional or continuing education for interested professionals who have already completed their degree programs
Flipped Classroom Best Practices for Higher Ed (UB Tech 2014 Presentation)Kelly Walsh

Using Disruption to Stay on Course (for Liberal Education)Rebecca Davis
Today’s news headlines are filled with startling reports about U. S. higher education. Calls for dramatically reduced cost are paired with critiques of higher education outcomes, demands for jobs for graduates, and images of online learning (especially the massive open online course or MOOC) as the new magic bullet that will remake our system of higher education by bringing learning to the masses for free. But what do these developments have to do with institutions that focus on liberal education? How are liberal arts colleges and universities preserving a focus on their key missions and goals during a time of dramatic change in higher education?
This workshop will focus on technology-enabled disruptions challenging the traditional high touch liberal arts model—e.g., the massive open online course or MOOC, blended learning, big data, the globally networked world, etc.—and investigate creative responses that adapt these disruptions in service to the essential learning outcomes and high impact practices of liberal education. Participants will discuss disruptive innovations, examine cases of adaption to the liberal education context, and consider how they might implement such adaptions at their own institutions.

Cracking the 'Native' Information Experiencedwarlick
Change is constant!
..And today, change is happening in schools. Governance boards, administrators, librarians and classroom teachers are combining efforts to resist the conservative status-quo-sustaining nature of our institution and seeking to define and implement a new style of learning – learning 2.0.
For many of our students, change is status-quo. They’ve witnessed an emerging new information environment and have had a hand in shaping its landscape, seamlessly utilizing technologies that define their culture. The outside-the-classroom information experiences of our students are deep, diverse, rich, and compelling — and understanding these information experiences may be a key to achieving more effective and relevant formal learning.
Spend some time with David Warlick, exploring the qualities of the native information experience and observe how they might be — and are being harnessed in classrooms around the world.

For many of our students, change is status-quo.

The outside-the-classroom information experiences of our students are deep, diverse, rich, and compelling — and understanding these information experiences may be a key to achieving more effective and relevant formal learning.
Cracking the 'Native' Information Experiencedwarlick
This presentation examines some of the qualities of our students outside the classroom information experiences. The point is that perhaps, rather than integrate technology into our classroom teaching, we should integrate qualities of their "Native" information experiences into our assignments and projects.
This slide show was used for a webinar delivered by David Warlick for Linworth Publishing. The topic was personal learning networks and how librarians and other education leaders can help staff and faculty to start network learning by cultivating their own personal learning networks.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
