Reflecting on two examples of play in Learningtelshef
Part of the Learning through Play presentations
This session will explore the value of play and how it can enhance student learning in Higher Education. Colleagues from the School of Education invite you to explore the benefits of Play in education in which play challenges assumptions of traditional HE learning and identify ways in which Play can be incorporated into your own teaching.
Blended learning, itself, is a threshold concept: liminal, uncomfortable, uncertain and transforming
Each person and context is a hybrid: utterly unique
No cultural origin is privileged
Learning occurs in the gaps: the spaces between
Learning growth is non linear
People only partly inhabit any space and do so on their own terms
All learning spaces are co-created
Social, learning, and transactional space are blending physically and digitally
The spirit of the third space is “the teacher”
Any enclosure of space requires force, power or violence

Rethinking disruption: how students (re)configure practices with digital tech...Martin Oliver
Students’ study strategies are developing in response to an increasingly digital scholarly environment, and the term ‘digital literacies’ is gaining currency as a means by which to understand and support student engagement. However, 'digital literacies' tend to be positioned as measurable, discrete and ultimately residing in the individual. In this view, the student is seen as a ‘user’ of technologies, suggesting a clear division between the human and machine, action and context, writer/reader and text, and the university and other domains of life.
This conception often reduces debates to questions of ‘skills’, undermining insights from New Literacy Studies (NLS) that ‘skills’ do not exist in a generic, decontextualized form, but are always situated in specific practices (Lea & Street, 1998). However, while NLS emphasises the social rather than the cognitive, it has not placed a great deal of emphasis on the embodied materiality of what students actually do, where they do it and what resources and artefacts they do it with. This paper will argue that Actor Network Theory (Latour, 2005) allows us to develop the insights of NLS by addressing sociomaterial aspects of engagements with texts in more detail.
Drawing on these perspectives, a JISC-funded project was undertaken involving longitudinal, multimodal journaling by a dozen students from four programme areas (PGCE, taught MA, distance MA and doctoral) over a period of nine months. Each was issued with an iPod Touch handheld device and asked to take images and video documenting where and how they studied, and the resources they used. All students were interviewed 3-4 times across this period, with interviews structured around the images and other artefacts provided by the students.
The interviews revealed that what disrupts engagement from these students’ perspective was not the presence of new technologies; instead it was the inability to reconfigure sites of study engagement. Disruption frequently arose from the well-established technologies that the institution provided and expected students to use, rather than from ‘bringing their own devices’ – devices which they were perfectly capable of using successfully in other settings.

New Faculty Roles in the Emerging Digital EcosystemRebecca Davis
If all information is available online and the best professors are giving their lectures away for free, do we really need so many faculty members? This questioning provides an important opportunity to redefine the faculty role in a way that advances the goals of liberal education. Rather than merely being repositories of content knowledge, faculty must help students progress along the path to mastering life-long learning. Terminal degrees indicate not only content expertise, but also the transferable learning skills of a master-learner, including synthesis, analysis, evaluation, and creativity. The key faculty roles, then, are mentoring and modeling learning, collaborating with students as they build learning networks, and helping students learn to self-evaluate as they develop the agency to become life-long learners. This session will explore alternate models for understanding the faculty role drawn from digital learning models and strategies for promoting that role at the individual, departmental, and institutional level.

High-Impact Educational Practices in the Online Classroom?Rebecca Davis
In 2014, 28% of students took a distance course, with the majority of those (67%) attending public institutions and 35% at public two-year institutions. While online learning promises to improve access, it often seems incompatible with high-impact practices (HIPs) that benefit low income and underserved students. Panelists, drawing on personal experience teaching online and the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) Online Humanities Consortia, Open Learning: A Connectivist MOOC for Faculty Collaboratives in the state of Virginia, and Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Concepts, Models, and Experiments, will discuss opportunities and strategies for HIPs, including writing-intensive courses, collaborative assignments, undergraduate research, diversity/global learning, service learning, and capstone courses, in an online setting. Small groups will explore models, discuss challenges of implementation, and consider institutional strategies to address those challenges.

Community-Engaged Signature Work in the Digital EcosystemRebecca Davis
What skills, abilities, and habits of mind do today’s graduates need for their careers and to solve complex problems in a constantly changing, globally-connected world? How do we integrate liberal education and authentic learning experiences with our digitally-networked context? What does community-engagement look like in a virtual community? In this session participants will consider case-studies of technology-enhanced community-engaged learning drawn from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Concepts, Models, and Experiments (co-edited by the session leader) with a focus on digital pedagogy keywords such as, Community, Digital-Divides, Fieldwork, Public, Race, and Social Justice. Participants will develop a curriculum that scaffolds self-directed digitally-augmented problem-solving from introductory to capstone level courses. Participants will explore innovative pedagogies, interrogate effective models for integrating authentic learning opportunities shaped by digital tools and resources at all levels, and work collaboratively to develop a toolkit and to-do list for encouraging this type of learning on their own campus.

Liberal Education Unbound: The Life of Signature Student Work in the Emerging Digital Learning Environment
The Next Generation of Liberal Education Reforms
Featured Session
Thursday January 22, 2015 10:45am to 12:15pm
2015 Annual Meeting: Liberal Education, Global Flourishing, and the Equity Imperative
How does the emerging digital environment shape the life cycle of students’ signature work in the 21st century? Digital technology has changed the learning ecosystem, and the future of liberal education depends upon an integrative vision of learning that is not merely advanced by digital tools, but reshaped in the same ways that digital learning has already fundamentally changed our culture. In this forum, we will explore what a synthesis of liberal education and connected learning can look like through the lens of signature work and the possibilities that the digital opens up at each stage of this work.

Engaging Undergraduates with Digital Scholarship ProjectsRebecca Davis
In the 21st century we face complex problems that cross disciplines and require collaborative approaches. Digital tools and information networks make it feasible to design project-based learning experiences that engage students by integrating them into the research process. This presentation will provide examples of how such projects, when integrated into courses, help students develop skills to work collaboratively, apply appropriate tools, and learn flexible problem-solving skills.
Digital pedagogy is here; it’s just unevenly distributed--at least in the world of colleges and universities. What would higher education look like if we designed not only individual learning experiences but also an entire curriculum to mirror and prepare students for life and work in a globally networked world? How could the convergence of new digital scholarly tools and methodologies, new delivery mediums, and digitally networked culture transform higher education? This session will situate the development of digital pedagogy in the current discourse about higher education--including calls for quality, completion, jobs, and access--offer a vision for transformative digital pedagogy, suggest both barriers to and strategies for achieving that vision, and engage participants in a thought experiment to design an integrated curriculum articulated by digital pedagogy.
Using Disruption to Stay on Course (for Liberal Education)Rebecca Davis
Today’s news headlines are filled with startling reports about U. S. higher education. Calls for dramatically reduced cost are paired with critiques of higher education outcomes, demands for jobs for graduates, and images of online learning (especially the massive open online course or MOOC) as the new magic bullet that will remake our system of higher education by bringing learning to the masses for free. But what do these developments have to do with institutions that focus on liberal education? How are liberal arts colleges and universities preserving a focus on their key missions and goals during a time of dramatic change in higher education?
This workshop will focus on technology-enabled disruptions challenging the traditional high touch liberal arts model—e.g., the massive open online course or MOOC, blended learning, big data, the globally networked world, etc.—and investigate creative responses that adapt these disruptions in service to the essential learning outcomes and high impact practices of liberal education. Participants will discuss disruptive innovations, examine cases of adaption to the liberal education context, and consider how they might implement such adaptions at their own institutions.
MOOCs, Boutique Subjects, and Marginal ApproachesRebecca Davis
This roundtable addresses what happens to marginal approaches (e.g., feminist, queer, disability, racial) and boutique subjects (e.g., medieval studies) in the MOOC paradigm.

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
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.

Editor's Notes
Struck by how what this approach has in common with crowdsourcing. (poll audience)
Overall, digital humanities works at liberal arts colleges because it has been adopted to the liberal arts mission, practices, and pedagogies. These include:
In addition to increased levels of collaboration (a core DH value), also note the increasing expertise—we need to scaffold student projects into the curriculum—not just in one class, as Kathryn does, but across a series of courses.
Students use digital resources—perhaps generative scholarship like the Visualizing Emancipation project.
They contribute to digital resources—perhaps starting with crowdsourcing or working with local faculty
They move on to produce their own resources like Enduring Women or History Harvest
They have become knowledge creators in a globally networked world.
