This handout accompanies the presentation "Adventures in Digital Curation," which outlines some steps for those new to digital curation (i.e., preserving and providing access to digital collections). The presentation was for the Digital Conversion Interest Group, sponsored by ALCTS-PARS, and was given at the American Library Association Conference in Anaheim, California on June 23, 2012.

MOOCs for Professional Development: Transformative Learning Environments and ...SJSU School of Information
Dr. Michael Stephens participated on a panel discussing the use of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for professional development at the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) 80th General Conference and Assembly, held in Lyon, France from Aug. 16, 2014 to Aug. 22, 2014. Stephens presented some of his findings from his ongoing research with The Hyperlinked Library MOOC. “The panel in France was also about the broader idea that large scale learning is something that information professionals should be using, and about how it supports professional development,” said Stephens. An assistant professor at the San Jose State University School of Information, Stephens teaches courses in the iSchool's exclusively online Master of Library and Information Science degree program.

Research in current scenario -sgd-adamf-20-apr-2018Sanjeev Deshmukh
Current research is driven by huge developments due to internet and digital disruptions. Democratization of education has opened up new vistas for doing research. It is essential to remain visible.
The presentation is about a comparative study of online formative assessment applications and their possible affordances in EFL instruction. This stems from the presenter’s observation of two emerging trends that have the power to transform EFL instruction; the availability of an increasing number of free applications that facilitate formative assessment and a growing interest in promoting mobile learning strategies, especially among EFL and Writing instructors at tertiary level institutions in the UAE.
It identifies those applications currently ranked highest in educator based surveys such as Jane Harts 100 tools, Edshelf and Graphite. It lists affordances that may be of most interest to EFL and Writing instructors and which are common to such applications. It then engages in a comparative analysis of the applications based on these affordances. It concludes to suggest that the increased interest in such formative assessment apps may stem from their power to inform EFL instructional design and to realize more personalized EFL instruction in a transformative way.

Slides used to support a presentation by James Buckingham (face to face) and Vance Stevens (online) made 3 October, 2015 as part of the 2nd Annual TESOL Arabia "Special Interest Group" Conference - "New Beginnings".
The session gave an overview of what online professional development opportunities
TESOL Arabia already supports and those planned for the future. The presentation also featured a "live" demonstration of online professional development strategies currently being used by TESOL Arabia's Education Technology SIG with special attention placed on how these strategies are free, easy to use, and available to anyone. This is all part of the Organization's efforts to make PD opportunities available to members wherever they might be in the Middle East and North Africa region.
Recognizing "your" PD via Mozilla Open Badges (TACON 2014, Dubai, UAE)Jim (James) Buckingham
The presentation provides an introduction to the Open badges concept - working from the basic concept of badges, then digital badges and final open digital badges. Then looks at how the Open Badges concept has led to its adoption by various Professional Development groups around the world thus putting into context the current efforts by TESOL Arabia’s Education Technology sig to realize the same. The presentation’s prime purpose is to share these efforts and to invite participant feedback and involvement. It seeks to first explain how such a strategy can promote professional development pursuits by EFL educators, encourage them to share those efforts with EFL educators in the region, and to have those efforts formally recognized so that they stimulate networking amongst those same EFL educators. That appreciation may extend beyond one’s immediate peers, to include the community of EFL educators in the region plus school administrators, and potentially even ministry officials and future employers. It outlines the current state of the TAEDTECH sig’s efforts to realize Open Badges. It notes important hurdles discovered to date; hurdles that will need to be addressed if the implementation of the concept is to be realized and successful. It concludes by inviting participant input / feedback on the matter and offers suggestions on how individuals can contribute to help realize or shape the concept.

PD Workshops - their purpose? Improved through the use of social networking t...Jim (James) Buckingham
A look at how current approaches to promoting PD for EFL instructors in the UAE may not be that effective. The author suggests the use of social networking tools to support sharing, testing, and collaborating amongst instructors as an alternative. This may also help realize a "community of best practice" for UAE based EFL instructors. On a micro level this can be accomplished through reflective practice and Journaling via blogs. On a macro level this might be accomplished through social networking tools such as Ning, Twitter and Facebook. Efforts are under way to join TESOL Arabia SIGs via such tools.
A look at Mark Warschauer's article INVITED COMMENTARY: NEW TOOLS FOR TEACHING WRITING and how this may be useful for promoting / stimulating a community of practice within the UC - Languages department at Zayed University to identify those tools that are most effective in supporting writing objectives.
PD Workshops - their purpose? do they really work? how could they be improved?Jim (James) Buckingham
A review and rethink on the effectiveness of professional development through face to face presentations/workshops... How realizing an online learning community with the help of Web 2.0 technologies may offer an attractive alternative to "revising" pd workshops as we know them.
