Wikipedia as a teaching tool in humanities modules
By Gerard Sasges
For me, the internet is a great way to allow educators in the humanities to build classes around outcome-based projects rather than around exams or other assignments. In this presentation I'm going to discuss a graduate modules I taught at NUS in SEM 1 of AY2012-13, SE5213. The module's subject was revolt and revolution in Southeast Asia. All work except for the final exam was web-based. The first half of the modules saw students write book reviews they then uploaded to Google Books and Goodreads. In the second half of the module, students created Wikipedia entries on topics of their choice. Wikipedia-based projects, I will argue, represent an exciting opportunity to create humanities modules that allow students to engage in the public and genuinely useful production of knowledge. In my presentation, I'll touch on aspects of module design, discuss how the module worked in practice, highlight some of the more exciting outcomes of the classes, and invite discussion of ways to improve the modules and apply the ideas to other contexts.

Reading Wikipedia: an unconventional approach to information - Andrew Gray - ...
Andrew Gray discusses his experience as the Wikipedian in Residence at the British Library, where he focused on workshops teaching people how to both create and critically engage with Wikipedia articles. He notes that Wikipedia contains over 30 million articles in 280 languages and reaches 500 million readers per month. However, it also has issues with quality and reliability in some articles. Gray advocates teaching people to look for clues about an article's reliability, such as locked pages, talk pages, and citation styles, and to use Wikipedia as a springboard to find additional sources rather than taking any single article as a definitive source. He provides examples of Wikipedia education programs that encourage critical assessment and contribution to the project.
Multimedia tools
The document discusses several multimedia tools that can help students with research and understanding information as called for by the Common Core standards. It describes tools like SweetSearch that filters websites for students, TagGalaxy which allows visual searching of Flickr images, and InstaGrok which lets students create interactive maps to research topics. Other tools mentioned are Lingro for looking up words on websites in different languages, Readability for cleaning up web pages for reading, and Wikipedia Simple English for less complex versions of articles. All of these tools are meant to support students in the research, understanding, and presentation of information.
Wiki Presentation
A wiki is a collaborative website that can be edited by multiple authors. It allows for ongoing contributions and changes from many people. Wikis differ from blogs in that multiple people can contribute to wikis, while blogs are written by a single author. Wikis are useful tools for education, as they allow students to collaborate on group projects and research through an online classroom discussion. They help students develop 21st century skills needed to be successful in today's world.
Free Web 2.0 Tools for the 21st Century Classroom

innovating the curriculum through social media
This document discusses innovating curriculum through social media and technology. It notes that knowledge becomes outdated faster, there is more knowledge than can fit in a curriculum, and core skills are changing. This clashes with academia's traditional model of one-to-many broadcasting of finalized knowledge by authoritative teachers. However, social media allows for user-generated content, small-scale sharing, open works in progress, and networking. The document suggests ways to use social media like wikis, blogs and Twitter to develop curriculum collaboratively, crowdsource lecture questions, and make assignments social processes with student-created content and peer feedback. Issues like ethics, digital skills, and access are also noted.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
