February 27 2015
Providing accessible content can be a costly and timeconsuming
activity for individual libraries who have a legal and
ethical duty to support their students who have disabilities. As
access to online content has grown and funding for support
diminished, libraries are increasingly looking to the benefits
of using their collective effort to assess accessibility of thirdparty
content and then work with publishers and other suppliers
to find solutions. The session will set the scene and provide
some case studies from UK universities that show how we
are supporting students with disabilities in their use of library
content. Libraries have been working individually and collectively
to raise the topic of accessibility with publishers and vendors,
many of whom have engaged with their
customers. In some cases quite simple changes to
publisher platforms can produce effective changes. In others
a much greater investment is needed. The speakers will use
their own experience to outline this topic which we hope will be
relevant to librarians, publishers, system vendors and others.

Strategy Sessions: Innovative strategies for increasing online student engage...LearningandTeaching
Online learning often tries to recreate elements of real world teaching. As digital learning is still a fairly new field, teachers often face difficulties engaging students in this environment. The future of online learning looks promising. Perhaps the biggest beneficial aim for online learning is that it is able to not only recreate the real world classroom, but also be extremely versatile in how and where we teach students.
In these slides, Maxine Rosenfield and Simon Daly give us an insight into learners’ and educators’ expectations of digital learning and the benefits and challenges faced on the platform. Maxine and Simon share a range of strategies that can be used to overcome these challenges based on their experience and feedback, to work towards achieving better learning outcomes.
iNACOL developed six key elements for implementing and maintaining a blended learning program. Rob Darrow's presentation outlines the six elements and promising practices.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Elaine Bean - Bridging the gap between 2nd & 3rd level
1. Bridging the gap
between 2nd and 3rd
level education
a Maynooth University Case
Study

Tel: 01 708 6445
2. I will discuss
• Why we designed the programme
• How we selected schools
• The content
• How it has progressed
• Going forward
3. Why we designed the programme
• Aware that first year students at third level education face significant
challenges in adapting to a new information environment
• Students are more familiar with rote learning
• Critical thinking or evaluating resources is new for most
• Opens people’s minds to coming to University
• Maynooth University Strategic Plan 2012-2017
“To strengthen its engagement with all stakeholders through sustained partnerships with
enterprises, communities, civil society and public bodies, to build support for the mission
of the university, to serve the needs of society, and to open new opportunities for
research and learning.”
4. Previous involvement with Schools
• Delivered an information literacy programme a number of
years ago to be used in our local school. Aimed at 2nd year
and 5th year students
• 1 double class – once-off training session
• Delivered by two members of staff
• Content needed more than one session, however, teachers
were not in a position to give up class time
5. Designing a programme
• What were others doing?
• Universities were getting involved with schools
• Involvement varied
• Visits to the Library mostly
• What time of year suited us best?
• What school should we approach?
• What contact had Maynooth University
already made with schools – could we tie
in with that?
6. What could we do?
• Designed a working outline including content for
each session and a proposal to present to a school
• Our programme was designed to go out to the
school to deliver the programme
• Designed and delivered by two members of staff
7. Our proposal
• Deliver the programme to transition year students
• In a classroom setting
• Four weeks in the classroom ending with a visit to the Library
• Expose transition year students to the skills and techniques of
information literacy to support them in their future transition to
university or the world of work.
• As such the programme goals include preparing transition year students
for experiences with information use beyond the classroom, towards
continuing education, self-development and lifelong learning.
8. How to select the schools
• Met with Assistant Registrar of Maynooth University to discuss
how to select the school – really valuable meeting
• Tips
• Gave details of schools in the surrounding area
• Alerted us to think about where there was more than one
school in the area – how/should you select one?
• Approaching a school
• Look to meet with the Principal
9. The Content
Session 1:
Preparing for your
Assignment
•Searching V Researching
•Building your search
•Planning
•Top tips
Session 3:
Using and Evaluating
Resources
•Avoiding plagiarism
•Fake website
Session 2:
Accessing Resources &
Social Media
•Searching public library
catalogues
•Journal/books/newspapers
•Location numbers – various
formats of material
•Digital Footprint
•Job screening with social
media
Visit to the Library
10. What works reflected in the feedback forms
• Lots of involvement
• Group and individual work
• Keep examples current
• Be prepared to debate your points
11. Engaging with games/hands on
activities
Boolean Logic – stand up if you have brown
hair, stay up if you have brown hair and blue
eyes, stay standing if you have brown hair,
blue eyes and not wearing a watch
They could visually see searches
change as the search options changed
Avoiding Plagiarism – find current topics or
music they can relate to, have to look it up
themselves and tell you why – discuss in class
Trusting what they find – White house
website, look it up for themselves – CRAAP
checklist, Currency, Reliability, Accuracy,
Authority, Purpose
12. Feedback
• Very positive feedback from teachers and students – as the programme progressed, some
teachers asked to sit in on sessions and said they would use relevant components in their
project work
• Tour of Maynooth University Library and campus very positively received
• Highlighted the University’s role in civic engagement and our role in recruiting students and student
retention.
• Quotes from participants: Very informative and gave me great tips to help with school work. I
thought I knew everything about the internet, but I don't so everything was new, thanks. I
learned new ways of researching today which I will use in the future. Can't wait to go to the
Library. I learned a lot from talking about social media. I think people should talk about it more
often. Introduced to a whole new part of the internet which I really enjoy working with. Thanks
to this training session I will never see social media the same way again.
• Quote from teacher:The course provided very good active learning techniques that students
could take away and apply directly to their own learning.
13. • Who wants to be Information Literate?
• Brought prizes
Information Literate
Evaluating Feedback
14. Visit to the Library
• Very engaged when on
the visit
• Opportunity to put some
of the props us used in
the school in context
• For some they had never
been inside a library or
on a university campus
15. How it has progressed
• One school = four classes of transition year students
• Had to deliver to all (each session required 3 double classes delivered 4 times)
• In March we are starting with another school
• Six classes of transition year students
• Started as four sessions in the classroom – now three
• Keep topics current
• Amend the sessions based on feedback, what is in the news
• Have to fit around transition year programme in the schools and availability
of computer rooms
17. Going forward
• Working with the students didn’t just benefit the
schools, it helped appreciate how students are
learning, what resources they are using
• Initially thought we needed to have more advanced training
for LIST (Library Information Skills Tutorials)
• Can we continue going out to schools?
• Do we take on more or continue with the ones we have
worked with
• Plan to continue working with schools
