The document discusses how social networks and electronic portfolios are blurring boundaries as technologies evolve. It notes that ePortfolios began as digital collections of student work but now resemble social networks through features like blogging, wikis, and multimedia sharing. The emergence of social networks has impacted ePortfolio development by incorporating factors that drive social network engagement, like accessibility, interactivity, and opportunities for networking, into ePortfolio design and use.

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.
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.

Normal Labour/ Stages of Labour/ Mechanism of LabourWasim Ak
Normal labor is also termed spontaneous labor, defined as the natural physiological process through which the fetus, placenta, and membranes are expelled from the uterus through the birth canal at term (37 to 42 weeks
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.

1. Interactive ePortfoliosSocial Networks and Interactive Portfolios: Blurring the Boundaries Dr. Helen Barrett electronicportfolios.org http://www.slideshare.net/eportfolios/
2. Newbie question: What are ePortfolios? e= Using technology to create… Portfolio = Purposeful Collections of Student Work
3. What is a Portfolio? Dictionary definition: a flat, portable case for carrying loose papers, drawings, etc. Financial portfolio: document accumulation of fiscalcapital Educational portfolio: document development of humancapital
4. What is a Portfolio in Education? A portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student's efforts, progress and achievements in one or more areas[over time]. (Northwest Evaluation Association, 1990)
5. What is in an Education Portfolio? The collection must include: student participation in selecting contents the criteria for selection the criteria for judging merit evidence of student self-reflection (Northwest Evaluation Association, 1990)
7. Electronic Portfolios almost two decades (since 1991) used primarily in education to store documents and reflect on learning, provide feedback for improvement, and showcase achievements for accountability or employment.
8. QUOTE The e-portfolio is the central and common point for the student experience… It is a reflection of the student as a person undergoing continuous personal development, not just a store of evidence.-Geoff Rebbeck, e-Learning Coordinator, Thanet College, quoted in JISC, 2008, Effective Practice with e-Portfolios
9. Social networks have emerged over the last five years, used by individuals and groups to store documents and share experiences, showcase accomplishments, communicate and collaborate with friends and family, and, in some cases, facilitate employment searches.
10. How is social networking impacting ePortfolio development? It is having a huge impact on our social and political world!
11. Think! What are the engagement factors that drive the use of social networks and how can we incorporate those factors into ePortfolios?
12. Social Learning How can we integrate ePortfolios with what we know about social learning and interactivity?
13. How can you leveragethe technologies learners own? Accessibility from “net books” and home computers Connectivity with cell phones Audio (podcasts) and Video (digital stories)
14. Boundaries blurring (between e-portfolios & social networks) Accountability Systems?As we consider the potential of lifelong e-portfolios, will they resemble the structured accountability systems that are currently being implemented in many higher education institutions?
15. Lifelong interactive portfolios Or are we beginning to see lifelong interactive portfolios emerging as… mash-ups in the Web 2.0 cloud, using Blogs and wikis Facebook or LinkedIn Flickr YouTube, etc.?
17. Similarities in Process There are many similarities between these two processes; the major differences are often in extrinsic vs. intrinsic motivation (Dan Pink's concept of autonomy, mastery, and purpose).
18. Dan Pink This presentation will draw on Pink's new book, Drive, and how blurring the boundaries between social networks and e-portfolios could motivate people to adopt the portfolio processes of collection, reflection, selection/presentation, interaction, and collaboration to support lifelong learning.
19. Dan Pink’s Drive Elements of True (Intrinsic) Motivation Autonomy Mastery Purpose
20. Pink’s Motivation Behavior Type X - Extrinsic fueled more by extrinsic rewards or desires Type I – Intrinsic Behavior is self-directed. “It is devoted to becoming better and better at something that matters. And it connects that quest for excellence to a larger purpose.”(p. 80-81)
21. Autonomy & ePortfolios Urge for Self-Direction is basic human need. Natural state to be Active and Engaged ePortfolio Implementation should adopt the motivating characteristics of autonomy found in social networks Choice Voice Sharing and Feedback Immediacy
22. Student Engagement! CQ + PQ > IQ (Friedman, 2006)[Curiosity + Passion] Learners find their voice and passions through choice and personalization! Portfolio as Story Positive Digital Identity Development - Branding “Academic MySpace”
23. Mastery & ePortfolios There is an inherent exhilaration in Learning “It’s fun to get better as something!” “FLOW” -- a feeling of energized focus (Csíkszentmihályi) In their spare time, people gravitate toward activities where they gain mastery “Reach should exceed the Grasp” Compliance vs. Personal Mastery Open Source movement (Wikipedia vs. Encarta) - Challenge and Improvement – Make a contribution
24. Mastery & ePortfolios (2) ePortfolio Implementation should adopt the motivating characteristics ofmastery found in social networks Flow Showcasing Achievements Increased self-awareness and self-understanding
25. Purpose & ePortfolios All of us want to be part of something larger than ourselves When people learn, they want to know relevance The more people understand the big picture, the more they will be engaged
26. Life Portfolio – planning for an extended midlife transition (50-90) An intentional combination of passions and pursuits Envision new possibilities Plan ahead – visualize a new life Not “retirement” but “rewirement” Scenario
27. Portfolio Way of Thinking Careers have a shelf life; portfolios can betimeless (p.x) … expands into a mindset that is ageless, in the broader sense of figuring out what really matters in life. (p.5) In the zone between total career mode and total retirement, many want to discover or rediscover their passion… create a legacy… turn careers into callings, success into significance… to make a difference… …portfolios become an ongoing, ageless framework for self-renewal
28. Quote “ Portfolio responds to a calling that is knit into the fabric of our very being. It is about what our motivations are, what makes us feel most alive. Portfolio development is what our true work should be, for it’s where our deep gifts, and our gladness, meet the needs of the world.” (p. 43)
29. Strategies for a Portfolio Life Tell the Story of Your Life: Narrative is a powerful tool for self-discovery Accomplishments Leave Clues… and increase self-esteem Connect with Others -- Networking Develop Your Goals: Goals Prepare us for Change… Goals Yield Purpose Revise, Reflect, Rebalance

52. Portfolio tells a Story "A portfolio tells a story. It is the story of knowing. Knowing about things... Knowing oneself... Knowing an audience... Portfolios are students' own stories of what they know, why they believe they know it, and why others should be of the same opinion.” (Paulson & Paulson, 1991, p.2)
53. Portfolios tell a Story “A portfolio is opinion backed by fact... Students prove what they know with samples of their work.”(Paulson & Paulson, 1991, p.2)

Editor's Notes
It is also not just about alignment with standards.
It is a single-minded immersion and represents perhaps the ultimate in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning. In flow the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand. The hallmark of flow is a feeling of spontaneous joy, even rapture, while performing a task.
A portfolio is, literally, a balanced collection of holdings related to one person, such as financial assets, job responsibilities, artistic works, and accomplishments. It’s something portable, something you carry with you. The portfolio represents the whole. It represents what you have or have done as an expression of who you are. (p.4)
Janus is the Roman god of gates and doors, beginnings and endings, and hence represented with a double-faced head, each looking in opposite directions. He was worshipped at the beginning of the harvest time, planting, marriage, birth, and other types of beginnings, especially the beginnings of important events in a person's life. Janus also represents the transition between primitive life and civilization, between the countryside and the city, peace and war, and the growing-up of young people.
