Connected learning supports extending learning through collaboration, sharing, and communicating.
Part of session on Building Capacity through Resource-Sharing and Networking of Day 2 of Digital Humanities in Asia: Global Technologies and Local Knowledge, May 19-22, 2009
With the advent of ICTs, we are increasingly exposed to information in the target language and start operating in different contexts and situations in our personal and professional life, which are no longer limited to our geographical location, classes, occasional workshops or professional development programs. We can acquire and learn much of the language online. The use of social media tools and platforms on the open Web can accelerate the learning process by giving us access to information, communities of practice and networks and enabling us to create and participate at our own time, in our own space and with whom we choose to communicate and collaborate.
In this presentation, we will explore the concept of personal learning spaces, the tools we can use to help our learners build them, communities of practice and networks and their role in language learning and practice. We will discuss how this digital immersion challenges us, EFL teachers, to review, expand and modify our ways of teaching and learning.

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.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Editor's Notes
Introduction and question for audience – When considering the connected educator it became clear that it was really the connect learner – teacher and learner (everyone is a learner)At your table, agree a definition of connected learning – 2 / 3 minutes There may be several definitions provided by delegates – Definition 1: Connected learning enables pupils to make connections across the curriculum. Teaching around a theme allows pupils to see the relevance of their learning experience and helps them to relate knowledge gained in different learning areas.There is more emphasis on activities and a greater breadth of subject material in a thematic unit as compared to a topic.Look at the content of what you're teaching and make meaningful connections between the content.Important to devise activities that help develop thinking skills and personal capabilities.Teacher directed, inquiry based learning; planned with the learners.The teacher facilitates learning, which is a more motivating role.Connected learning helps learners to be more engaged, gives them ownership over their learning.Encourages creative thinking and problem solving skills. Definition 2: Connectivity relating to constructivist approaches, collaboration, cooperation, sharing of ideas etc.
Some suggestions as to what connected learning means – delegates likely to have others – can record via twitter?
Use family tree to encourage thoughts about connectivity (in this case genetic ‘connectivity’ resulting in family characteristics and potentially behavioural inheritance?) – One has to imagine all the other branches that are not on this tree e.g. Only Noah is extended from Adam and Eve – there are other childrenChapter four of Genesis tells of the birth of Cain and Abel, Adam and Eve's first children, while chapter five gives Adam's genealogy further. Later came Seth, and "other sons and daughters" (Genesis 5:4, NIV). Adam lived for 930 years and Eve lived for 929 years.
Connectivity of neurons – brain function, learning, capabilities, transmission and sharing of information to provide a holistic view Basically, networks are the way things work in the majority, if not all circumstances in the world. Even the individual acting alone is using shred knowledge and experience.
Learner = student and teacher
Social bookmarking, blogs, wikis, discussion forums, conferences, image / video sharing, podcasts, chat, Google docsFB, LinkedIn – imagine the connectivity that currently exist in these – already exploiting the Amazon approach by connecting people with similar interests – soon be self-forming groups i.e. ‘There is a group here that you may like to join’ based upon your interests as understood by the SWYouTube’s users upload about two days worth of video per minute – May 20111 day of video per minute just 14 months ago,
And now connectivity and therefore learning is becoming mobile – anywhere, anytime – lifelong learning? Connected to resources, tutors, collaboration and sharing environmentsLearning anytime, anywhere – at last!
