The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been more than a crisis; it has been a global wake-up call to change our paradigms and the way we perceive the world. Not surprisingly, the pandemic has altered the way we interpret the normal as well as the way we live. Normal, by its nature, is a relative term and, presently, we have different derivations of it: Normal, new normal, and next normal. Nevertheless, it is important to always remember that one’s new normal can be someone else's normal, or one’s normal could have hitherto been a new normal for someone else. Likewise, normal and new normal for some can be the next normal for others. These derivations of normal suggest that we are experiencing an unprecedented time, one marked by major shifts in the way we understand and interpret different areas of life, not least of all education, which has and will continue to undergo changes, particularly in the way we teach and learn.
Open Education Leadership: National Trends & Best PracticesNicole Allen
This talk takes a step back into the national perspective on open education policy,
practice, and emergent trends that will impact the future of this work in Colorado and
beyond. We will cover the latest developments in federal legislation and funding,
what kinds of initiatives are happening in other states, and some of the key strategic
challenges ahead. It also offers concrete tools and best practices to support
leadership and effective advocacy for open education to benefit students.

Social Media Confusion? How to Choose the Right NetworkKyle Buyers
A webinar broadcast in the summer of 2012 (before I went back to school for Marketing), this presentation was the most highly-registered in our company during my time there and received very positive feedback from its attendees.
Today there are things I would edit and improve, including my overall strategic approach to social media - but that is the fun of working in an emerging field. Also, now that I have a solid educational background on the subject, I would use my new knowledge to bolster this presentation.
Thank you to all who attended the Parish Technology Summit at Villanova University. We explored the how and why technology needs to be an integral part of catechetical ministry in the 21st Century.
‘Mix tapes’ were a thing of love, a physical object which people would share with significant others and friends around them. They were naturally a social object and highly representative of a person’s identity. The knowledge of effort involved by the giver in selecting the songs and having to sit through each one was also part of the symbolism for the receiver. Objects can be generated and shaped from and by the media you “teach” them or existing objects you play (embed) media into. Thus the modern mix tape could become a linked series of small objects like lucky charms which are physically shareable in a form representing the tracks they contain. This is based on the idea that physical items often mean more to us as physical beings and adds a level of exclusivity and personalisation to the sharing process. Considering trans-platform engagement and the ability to engage users and viewers in co-creating media it is suggested that this may presented as a new modality for user co-creation and curation.
Developing a (Digital) Strategy for Your OrganisationCharlotte Sexton
This presentation provides practical guidance on developing a (digital) strategy and is aimed at those leading change or managing digital programme delivery within museums or cultural organisations. It doesn’t really matter what you call it: digital strategy, digital engagement strategy, technical road map or just plain ‘strategy’, if your goal is to engage contemporary audiences with culture and heritage then ‘digital’ is going to be part of the mix. For museums, the great ones will be those designed around the way people live their lives now – and increasingly that means with some kind of techno gizmo in their hands. If you are going to rise to the challenge then you’re going to need a plan, and the will and skill to change old ways of working. This presentation will help you kick start the process.

Digital Reality changes your perception. The combination of virtual reality, game theory and gamification techniques has given impulse to the development of new approaches to many aspects of life, including learning, medicine, and economics. Is this combination leading us to a closed playground where fantasy dominates, or can we develop an enriched contextualized culture?
The Big Dutch 20 Year 730 Million Page Digitisation ChallengeOlaf Janssen
The National Library of the Netherlands (KB) is mass-digitizing all Dutch publications since 1470. This article outlines KB's strategy for making this output publicly available.
In the next 20 years, the Dutch national library (KB) will mass-digitize all Dutch printed books, newspapers and magazines since 1470, a total of 730 million pages. Until recently, this was done by public funding alone. To speed up things in a climate of ongoing budget cuts, KB entered into public-private partnerships with both Google and Proquest to digitize 42 million pages by 2013. Besides the availability of funding, digitization priority is determined by a mix of client and institutional needs such as copyright status, uniqueness, institutional capability and user demand.
At the same time, KB is answering user demand for centralized access and content distribution by streamlining its scattered online services portfolio. For this, KB develops two strategic lines of action.
* The first is on metadata (searching FOR publications): in 2013, KB will unify metadata searching across all its paper and digital collections via OCLC's WorldCat Local.
* The second is on full-text (searching IN publications): for searching in full-text historic publications (i.e. mass digitization output) KB is currently developing its Platform for Digital Publications. Besides a search engine, it is also a:
* Presentation environment, associating each full-text object with a standardized webpage and persistent URL, offering a uniform look and feel, and unique reference for all KB's full-texts. This landing page enables third-party services (e.g. WorldCat Local, Europeana, Google) to refer to objects in a persistent way.
* Delivery platform, enabling KB to deliver content in the workflows of users via APIs and expose it to research communities.
* Aggregator, enabling KB to set up a network of partners to bring together all Dutch digital books, newspapers and magazines, at the same time supporting Europeana's content aggregation strategy.

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.

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.
