As a national Community of Practice (CoP), we have raised attention to ten important aspects of shared work that have become our values. To what extent have you and your team/organization/center internalized these values?
Over the last 6 months, Volunteer Scotland has been working with organizations to create a space for sharing ideas and learning within a human learning systems setting. They have discussed key topics around human learning systems such as variety, empathy, strengths-based perspectives, and trust. Volunteer Scotland wants to embrace a systems approach to volunteering rather than a traditional project-based approach, focusing on impact, understanding systems, capacity building, and continuous learning. They described the volunteer system in Scotland as complex with many interconnecting factors. Volunteer Scotland is providing an opportunity to become a systems steward to help create healthy systems by supporting ongoing learning, building relationships, and enabling co-design processes.
1. The document discusses identity management and authentication technologies on the web such as Athens, Shibboleth, and OpenID and how they relate to educational institutions and users.
2. It explores how OpenID could complement existing identity technologies, whether it meets any needs not addressed by other solutions, and what strengths and weaknesses centralized vs decentralized provision may have.
3. Questions are raised around what guidance funding bodies and institutions should provide about OpenID adoption and how the educational community could influence OpenID standard development to address their needs.
Building eduCommons Sustainability Through Social SourcingTom Caswell
A presentation on current efforts to move eduCommons (an open source OpenCourseWare content management system) from a grant-funded project to a community supported development model called social sourcing. This presentation was given at the OCWC Global 2009 Conference in Monterrey, Mexico on April 23, 2009.
Systems change and collaboration Presentation VS AGMVolunteerScotland
This document discusses factors that influence volunteering rates and the volunteering system. It identifies several types of capital - structural, material/economic, political, cultural, social, and human - that affect volunteering. Areas with poorer educational and economic outcomes tend to have lower social capital and fewer community organizations. An aging population and rural environments can also impact volunteering. Systems change requires understanding the current state, envisioning an improved future state, and collaborating with stakeholders to test ideas. The author discusses applying systems thinking and methods from Human Learning Systems to better understand and positively change the volunteering system.
The document discusses complexity and its implications for funding and managing associational life through volunteering. It argues that complexity means outcomes are emergent properties of systems rather than delivered by organizations. This requires funding and management focused on creating conditions for learning and adaptation, not predetermined results. Learning must be continuous as what works is always changing. Funders should support learning capacity, not just results. Managers should focus on nurturing healthy systems and acting as system stewards to create positive outcomes.
The document proposes creating a Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Community (LPELC) to build on an existing website and expand it with new participatory learning features. The LPELC would harness the knowledge of its target audience through discussion forums, social networking, and collaborative learning opportunities. It aims to encourage learners to both consume and contribute knowledge. The proposal argues this innovative community approach could effectively educate its audience and evaluate environmental impacts.
The document summarizes a thesis that evaluated a social visualization tool called Stepgreen.org, which allows users to commit to green actions and view personal and social savings. The thesis conducted a study comparing users who saw only personal feedback versus social feedback showing community performance. Users seeing social feedback fulfilled more actions, suggesting social visualization can motivate sustainable behavior. Future work could explore competitive elements and applying this approach to other collective goals like voting, education, and healthcare.

This document discusses Portland cement and the cement manufacturing process. It begins with an overview of what cement is and how it is used to make concrete. It then describes the industrial process for manufacturing cement, involving grinding raw materials like limestone and clay at high temperatures in a kiln to form clinker, which is then pulverized with gypsum to become Portland cement powder. The document also provides a brief history of cement development and explains how cement kilns can beneficially reuse solid and hazardous wastes as a source of energy and raw material replacement due to the kilns' high temperatures and long retention times.
Embedding learning from cooperative projects Noel Hatch
How can we collaborate with people to help them build their resilience? Get under the skin of the culture and the lives people live. Identify people’s feelings and experiences of community and understand what people think is shaped by different values and by the environment and infrastructure around them. The future of collaboration could bring many opportunities but people find it more difficult to live and act together than before. How can we help people…and communities build their resilience? Understand people’s different situations and capabilities to develop pathways that help them build resilient relationships. Help people experience and practice change together. Help people grow everyday practices into sustainable projects. Turn people’s everyday motivations into design principles. Support infrastructure that connects different cultures of collaboration. Build relationships with people designing in collaboration for the future…now.
The objectives of the workshop were to understand equality, diversity and inclusion, raise awareness of a diverse workforce's benefits, explore discrimination law, reflect on colleagues' experiences, review social media responsibilities, challenge inappropriate comments, and ensure an inclusive environment.
The Everyone Equal network is led by volunteers to push boundaries, encourage change, support colleagues, and be a collective voice. Networks require passionate volunteers to unite, raise awareness, influence decisions, and strengthen businesses.
Colleagues shared stories about misgendering's effects and living with a hidden disability to increase understanding of others' experiences.
Do you wonder what value human rights-based approaches and equitable partnerships can add to development programming?
The ICN presents this webinar with CCIC, in collaboration with the Coady International Institute and Equitas – International Centre for Human Rights Education. Participants will be introduced to a Guide that these three organizations have produced in collaboration. It provides concrete and practical tools to help organizations integrate a human rights-based approach (HRBA) into their development programming and begin a process to intentionally develop more equitable partnerships - all the while, helping facilitators run participatory workshops to achieve this, and providing a resource manual for participants in the process.
The webinar will briefly touch upon the following:
The rationale for creating the Guide two years on from the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, and the choice and centrality of human rights and partnership to the work of civil society.
How the guide helps to demystify the human rights based approach (HRBA) by breaking it down into simple guiding elements that can inform and improve program design, implementation and evaluation, and about the value that HRBA brings to the development process.
The different forms of collaboration and the power dynamics often involved, it will also discuss how partnership principles can shape a process to generate more equitable partnerships and recognize the importance of collaboration as an outcome.
This document provides a summary of an event held by YouthREX on March 24, 2015 called "Beyond Measure? Evaluation and Action in Ontario’s Youth Sector". The event was a knowledge mobilization expo that brought together over 60 stakeholders from the youth sector to discuss evaluation and its current context. It featured presentations from leaders of youth organizations on their experiences with evaluation, as well as perspectives from United Way of Greater Toronto on using evaluation strategically. Participants then engaged in World Café discussions on issues and ideas around evaluation. The event was meant to inform YouthREX's upcoming report on the state of evaluation in the youth sector.
Online learning communities are important for keeping students engaged and motivated in remote learning environments. They allow students to collaborate with one another to build understanding and solve problems in an interactive way. The key elements that define effective online communities are social presence, which facilitates engagement and interaction, and cognitive presence, which determines how well learning concepts are understood. Common types of online communities include interest-based communities, information-sharing communities, and professional communities. Benefits of online learning communities include building connections, developing a strong brand, earning customer loyalty, and gaining organic feedback.

The document discusses moving from a consumerist model of student feedback to a partnership model where students are engaged as co-creators in the learning process. It advocates for surveys to be embedded within broader student representation and engagement, with students and staff jointly responsible for identifying issues, developing solutions, and implementing changes. Case studies from Gloucestershire and Glasgow universities demonstrate iterative evaluation processes where student feedback directly impacted module improvements. Principles for research emphasize empowering students and staff to work together towards a shared quality agenda through open access to information and ensuring feedback leads to timely actions and solutions developed in partnership.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
