This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Karen Cangialosi on open education. It discusses how open educational resources (OER) can increase access and equity for students by reducing costs. A study found that 45% of students experienced food insecurity and 56% experienced housing insecurity. OER are freely available online resources like open textbooks. The presentation advocates for "open pedagogy" where students help create learning structures and knowledge through collaborative projects. It discusses using open tools and platforms to give students voice in their education.

"Open educational practices" is a broad term that encompasses the creation and adoption of open textbooks and other open educational resources, open course development, and the use of “non-disposable assignments." This presentation makes a case for why the move away from traditional (closed) practices is not only desirable but inevitable, and how students, faculty, institutions, and our communities all stand to benefit greatly from this transformation.

K-12 and Community Colleges Collaborations on OERUna Daly
Open Educational Resources (OER) can make education more equitable and inclusive at any level of education, but what does effective collaboration between K-12 and Higher Education look like? Hear from a panel of K-12 and community college educators as they share the benefits and challenges of transforming learning with open practices and open content that is adaptable by teachers and students. The topic of why and how faculty can work together across school sectors to support students in their local community will be explored.

n preparing content for a youth audience there are a few considerations to keep in mind. The youth target audience for eXtension is K-12 of which 4-H is a part. Integrating 4-H content with the eXtension public site is relatively straightforward. However, 4-H is not our only audience so content must be presented as a land-grant resource to a broader audience. As a land-grant resource, the knowledge base and learning environment for youth can be delivered under the eXtension banner as well as the traditional 4-H clover. Other considerations include presenting content in appropriate reading levels, accommodations for adult facilitators, safe learning environments, collaborative learning, interfacing with social media, virtual learning environments, and more. Interfacing with third party resources is critical as well in order to provide paths of learning for the individual. As the Youth SET for Life CoP transitions to the For Youth, For Life CoP, an expanded knowledge base provides a rich learning resource for all learners. The land-grant knowledge base as a starting point for youth audiences can be an excellent service to our audience. Learning forums initiated with eXtension content can expand to include other resources including new knowledge generated by the forum itself.
Transforming Course Assessments with Backwards Design & Renewable AssignmentsChristina Hendricks
A workshop at the American Association of Philosophy Teachers' conference, July 2016. The first half is about how using backwards design and different types of learning goals as enumerated by Dee Fink can help one one rethink assignments in philosophy courses. The second is about "renewable assignments" according to David Wiley and how they might work in philosophy courses. Ideally one could come up with a new learning goal from the first half and then come up with a renewable assignment to fit it, from the second half of the workshop.

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.
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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. 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.

It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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.

Over 40% said they felt so depressed they had difficulty
functioning.

That number had increased to 41% by 2016.

invitation: we trust that you have important lessons to teach the world, and we trust
that the knowledge you access today will be changed by your perspective, that you
will open doors to new ideas that we, your current teachers, never could have
taught you.” – Robin DeRosa, University of the Margins

59. Students will go online ANYWAY; they will have a digital
presence WITH or WITHOUT your guidance.
Is it responsible to “just say no” to:
• Smartphone use?
• Using social media?
• Reading, posting and interacting on the web?
If faculty and staff in higher education don’t guide students to think
about digital citizenship and their digital footprint – who will?
