The Benefits Of Doing Things DifferentlyMike Ellis
During October and November 2009, Mike Ellis (Eduserv) and Dan Zambonini (Box UK) built a museum website in 12 hours from beginning to end, under the title "Museum In A Day".
These slides accompany a workshop we delivered at DISH 2009 with the same title (see http://www.dish2009.nl/node/89)
The workshop uses the Museum In A Day project as a means to frame the wider conversation, and looks at where online museums are in terms of audience, traffic and reach, asking:
- How can we do things differently?
- How can we do more with less?
- How can we be where our audiences are?

The Lost Map of Wonderland: extending the visit beyond the physicalluciepaterson
National Digital Forum Conference 2019.
Every exhibition at ACMI is considered a pilot to test experience and technology for future exhibitions and Wonderland was no different. The Wonderland exhibition opened in April 2018 at ACMI and went through until October. It’s an immersive and theatrical exhibition that celebrates the screen history of Lewis Carroll’s timeless stories. The Lost Map of Wonderland is an NFC-enhanced paper map and is the visitor’s companion device throughout the exhibition. It is integral to the exhibition experience — in-gallery and at home after the visit. Previous exhibitions had shown us visitors had an appetite for richer, longer content online so we wanted to test this with a more full post-visit experience. This presentation will give the audience insights into the design of the map experience, the challenges we faced, the evaluation including how it’s performing on tour and how we are applying what we learnt to the biggest project of all, the museum redevelopment.
In addition to producing experiential marketing activations for PayPal and ExactTarget, the PBJS SXSW team visited as many booths, buses, domes, lounges and parties as we had energy for. Here's what worked, what failed and where we saw opportunities for improvement.

Designing Interactive Library Spaces - Seminar w/ EdLab, Teachers College of ...Brian Pichman
Brian Pichman, a member of the Evolve Project, is dedicated to bringing libraries into the future using cost effective measures and strategies, as well as blending environments to be engaging and interactive.
Learn why libraries around the world are changing and evolving to meet the needs of the patrons. Together we investigate ways libraries have been creating new interactive spaces, and how they are building makerspaces and fab labs. We also discuss emerging technology and how that plays a role in not only learning spaces but also what it means for content creation and curation. As a group, we will discover ways libraries can improve and further define themselves as community anchors. We will also take a virtual walk through of a redesign Brian has done for a children's public library and ways he branded and marketed the project to help find extra funding.

Contrary to popular thought, marketing the launch of your product doesn't have to break the bank. A large budget is never a guarantee of the success of a product. The most important aspects of a launch are the smarts and the intention to have a successful launch.
The smarts come from experience and can be learned.
The intention to successfully launch takes a bit more work.
Key requirements include:
A deep knowledge of what the customers want
How the customers buy
Where the customers buy
The use of highly leveraged marketing channels
Save yourself and your business some money and tune in for AIPMM's webinar on April 3rd at 9 a.m. PDT with guest speaker Alex Eckelberry. Learn what you can do to create a wildly successful launch, with valuable pointers from current examples. When you have a great product, strong desire and persistence, you can succeed in your launch.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.

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.
