This document discusses creating an effective personal learning network (PLN) online. It defines a PLN as a dynamic community that facilitates personal growth and learning. It explains that PLNs allow users to contribute, connect, and collaborate with others. The document outlines the stages users go through when developing a PLN, from initial immersion to finding balance. It also discusses why PLNs are useful, providing knowledgeable, responsive, global, and diverse connections. The document provides tips for effective PLN use, such as standardizing online identities, aggregating and integrating different tools, tagging information, and being aware of potential risks around privacy and appropriateness.

This presentation was given at the Australian Moodle Moot 2013 to outline just some of the great features introduced in Moodle 2.5. The session was also delivered with live hands on demonstrations which can't be replicated on Slideshare.
This session was built using the great work by Gavin Henrick in his presentation titled "Moodle 2.5 some of the improvements since moodle 2.4". I would recommend checking this out as it contains an even greater feature list. http://www.slideshare.net/ghenrick/moodle-25-some-of-the-improvements-since-moodle-24
This is the presenation used at the MoodleMoot Theme Workshop.
This presentation can be used as a "primer" for those developing their own themes for Moodle 2 . It currently does not cover Bootstrap development. I hope to have this included in a future update.

This is a presentation given at MoodleMootAU in Brisbane 2008. Origibnally built on Mac in Keynote, it has lost much of its shine with a PPT conversion. But content is still here.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
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.
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.
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.
