Thinking Outside the Box: Using Blackboard Across the InstitutionRosalind Tedford
Presented at Blackboard User Conference 2004.
Co-Presenters: JoAnna Hunt (Seneca College) and Eric Kunnen (Grand Rapids Community College)
What do the largest college in Canada, a small liberal arts university and a community college have in common with their Blackboard implementations? All three have discovered that there are many ways to use Blackboard across the campus enterprise that can not only streamline procedures for departments on campus but that can also increase Blackboard visibility and buy-in from non-academic departments. Seneca University in Toronto, Wake Forest University in North Carolina, and Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan all have worked to implement Blackboard for projects outside of the classroom. This presentation will focus on what is happening at our institutions, what we have been doing to facilitate such Blackboard usage and the lessons we have learned in the process.

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.
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.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.
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.

mark.sparvell@pa.edu.au 2011
3. What's Different?
While there are many online learning communities in existence
- many are restricted by state, territory or sector
- may be a service endorsed or provided by a business with interests in the
education market
- may not be specifically targeted to the unique needs Principals and aspiring
Principals have
- may provide functionality not required and therefore distracting
palnet delivers what Australian Principals and Aspiring Principals have said they
want in an online professional learning network.

5. Plane (www.plane.edu.au)-
PLANE will be a professional learning world for educators where they can: develop their skills; connect with others;
and take part in formal structured learning that is accredited or informal learning. It will provide in-time anywhere
anytime professional learning opportunities through two integrated environments; a rich multi-media environment
and a 21st century immersive learning environment – a “digital virtual world” - for experiential game-based
learning, problem based simulation learning, collaboration and communication across educational sectors.
TTF (Teaching Teachers for the Future)
The TTF Project involves all 39 teacher education institutions in Australia. There are three components 1. To develop
and trial explicit ICT dimensions for 60% of the descriptors in the Graduate Teacher Standards of the National
Professional Standards for Teachers. 2. To develop a national collection of digital resources that provide pre-service,
teacher educators and teachers with rich professional learning and digital resources exemplar packages 3. To second
highly accomplished ICTE educators to Australian universities to work with teacher educators and pre-service
teachers.
ICT in Everyday Learning: Teacher Online Toolkit
In partnership with curriculum associations and universities, this project will enhance the capacity of in-service
teachers to effectively incorporate varied technologies in classrooms while assisting the implementation of the
Australian Curriculum. The project will develop, trial and disseminate online professional learning resources
designed to support the Digital Education Revolution.
