Making the Most of the New File Upload Question Feature in an LMS: Nine Appl...Shalin Hai-Jew
In Canvas and Qualtrics, a recent new feature enables learners (or survey participants) to upload digital files. While these have varying limits—of file sizes, of file types, of file handling, identification or anonymization of file uploaders, and the level of sharing of uploaded files—it is useful to think of assignment possibilities in order to maximize this feature. This presentation provides some preliminary instructional design for how to build effective assignments using the file upload feature. This session also involves considerations like intellectual property, privacy rights, and proper handling of digital contents by learners and instructors. There are also considerations for data security and protections.
Finally, there are discussions about memory limits for file uploads (within an online course), as well as digital preservation (whether the uploaded files are temporary and transient or semi-permanent or permanent, for learning purposes).

Strijker & Fisser (2019 06-27) A future-proof curriculum with digital literacySaxion
In November 2014, the State Secretary for Education, Culture and Science of the Netherlands officially launched an online country-wide consultation about the future of Dutch education. Based on the outcomes and the ongoing debate, the Netherlands started the development of a new curriculum framework for primary and secondary education in 2018. One of the new themes in this curriculum is Digital Literacy, which is defined as a combination of ICT skills, media literacy, information literacy and computational thinking. Together with the other subjects (Dutch, Arithmetic/mathematics, English/modern foreign languages, Citizenship, Exercise & Sport, Art & Culture, Human & Nature, Human & Society) Digital Literacy will be part of the design of the new curriculum. A teacher design team for Digital Literacy developed a vision and elaborated this in eight so-called big ideas. Based on the big ideas learning trajectories were designed. These learning trajectories describe what students should learn in primary and secondary education.

This case study will present findings on developing digital competencies for Library staff arising from the L2L project (www.L2L.ie). L2L was a two year collaborative project based in Ireland led by Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT), with Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and Institute of Technology Carlow (ITC). This project was funded by the National Forum for Teaching and Learning with the aim of exploring its professional development framework (https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/wp-content/uploads/NF-2016-National-Professional-Development-Framework-for-all-Staff-Who-Teach-in-Higher-Education.pdf) through the lens of library staff.
This case study will consider how library staff can identify and chart the development of digital competencies and skills so as to remain current and viable in a constantly evolving digital landscape using the framework. Reflections will be offered on how engaging with the Professional Development Framework and more specifically Domain 5: Personal and Professional Digital Capacity in Teaching, can foster the development of personal proficiency/knowledge in digital competencies thus supporting our role in Teaching and Learning and our professional practice. The concept of drafting a “digital philosophy statement” will be considered and how this can be potentially used as a sustainable CPD tool.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
2. Two basic approaches:
-Developing subject-specific digital literacy
profiles/frameworks (aspiration)
-Embedding digital literacy activities into
courses of study (development)
3. Developing digital literacy profiles:
•Do we need subject-specific profiles, or are generic
profiles / attributes more powerful (i.e. is the University the
right body to define)?Is it as simple as tweaking subject
benchmarks (where required) and/or a dialogue with the
QAA?
•Should let many examples develop (including different
examples from the same subject area) and share them?
•Is this rather a process which needs to be owned by
departments, whose outcomes are only locally relevant?
4. Developing digital literacy profiles:
starting from a general model
starting from a general model
Identity
development
Situated
practices
Skills
development
Functional access
'I am...'
'I do...'
'I can...'
'I have...'
specialised
enhancement
general
entitlement
Beetham and Sharpe 2010
8. Developing digital literacy profiles:
what we have learned
Avoid over-specifying
‣On the other hand, don't stray out of scope – stick to the digital as
method or context
‣Process over outcome
‣ Involve as wide a range of stakeholders as possible
‣Differences across broad subject areas are often less than you
think: topic/specialism differences within subjects can be large
‣Subject-specific uses of generic technologies are as important as
subject specialist technologies
9. Embedding digital literacy into the
curriculum:
the elements
‘capabilities that fit an individual
for living, learning and working in a digital society’
ICT/Computer Literacy: the ability to adopt, adapt and use digital devices,
applications and services in pursuit of scholarly and educational goals.
Information Literacy: the ability to find, interpret, evaluate, manipulate, share
and record information, especially scholarly and educational information
Media Literacy: the ability to critically read and creatively produce academic and
professional communications in a range of media.
Communication and Collaboration: the ability to participate in digital
networks and working groups of scholarship, research and learning
Learning Skills: the ability to study and learn effectively in technology-rich
environments, formal and informal
Digital scholarship: the ability to participate in emerging academic, professional
and research practices that depend on digital systems
11. Graduate Attribute Statements
a digitally literate learner is flexible
and reflective, confident and capable
of selecting appropriate tools and
software for effective scholarship and
research (University of Liverpool)
a confident, agile adopter of a range
of technologies for personal,
academic and professional use
(Oxford Brookes University)
confident users of advanced
technologies... exploiting the rich
sources of connectivity digital
working allows
(Wolverhampton University)
to be effective global citizens and
interact in a networked society (Leeds
[graduates should be]
reflective and critical, aware of
the educational, social, and
political assumptions involved
in the restructuring of
education, technology, and
society currently under way
(Kahn and Kellner 2005)
questioning not only the
usefulness of technologies for
given ends, but the ends for
which they are offered as
means
Embedding digital literacy into the
curriculum:the desired outcomes
(confidence -> criticality)
12. Embedding digital literacies into the
curriculum:
the activities/experiences
‣ Activities must be meaningful in terms of the topic/practice
‣Students must know: what is assessed, what is at stake, what
success looks like, how the task is relevant to them
‣ Staff modelling digital practice is powerful but not critical if there
is (a) clarity about the educational goals (b) support from others
‣ Boundary-crossing experiences (e.g. public/private,
research/learning) are powerful...
‣... but maintaining a safe, clearly designated and structured space
for learning is critical at first
‣Specialist technologies: structured support, progressive practice
‣Generic technologies: choice, informal support, signed resources
‣Activities should be creative/productive as well as
critical/assimilative
13. Developing teaching staff:
a scholarly discourse, rooted in the subject
What questions is your subject asking
of digital technology?
What would you like technology to do that
enhances your practices and values as an
academic/educator?
What questions is digital technology
asking of/in your subject?
How are you having to adapt your
methods and practices e.g. publishing,
data capture and analysis, collaboration,
research communication, writing,
teaching?
14. bit.ly/DLdisciplines
Choose one staff development resource to review
Read and or try out the resource, in pairs if you like
Discuss
How might you use this (when, with whom, in what
setting)?
What do you think the value might be?
Do you see any drawbacks or problems? How could
they be resolved (e.g. by repurposing/localising)
How confident would you feel about using this
resource in your subject community?
15. At your table, discuss:
What do members of your subject community
staff really need to embed and support digital
literacies?
What would you like to see coming out of the
programme that could support your project
(better)?
What is your project bringing to the table?
