This presentation takes you through this development from introducing the term OER to November 2015 showing the latest and ground breaking development. Take part!
Nations and regions using less used languages - sidelined in open education?icdeslides
While production and use of Open Education Resources are coming closer to a tipping point, in particular in english speaking areas - nations and regions using less used languages seem to by bypassed by development - and potential not in the position to share the benefits from modern education and learning. However, good examples exist, as the Netherlands. Which policies might be necessary to change the situation in areas lagging? Reviewing policy advices in light of the recent development - this presentation and action lab will consider policy advices to be released now. This is a LangOER action, presented and supported by LangOER, Open Education Consortium and ICDE in partnership.
This report documents the state of the art concerning the Cloud in education in partner countries across Europe. It describes policy perspectives, agencies and organisations promoting the Cloud in education, initiatives, projects and developments in different countries, it offers a list of relevant events and activities taking place in Europe, as well as key publications related to the project’s scope. The report indicates that the Cloud is developing rapidly in business but in many countries education has not recognised the advantages offered.

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.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

In EU children become active online
From the age of 7

EU households -79% - had Internet access at
home
Source: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/EPRS/New-global-interactive-strategies-for-teaching-and-learning.pdf
70% of teachers recognize the importance of digitally-supported methods
Teachers are not adequately prepared for the digital revolution:
only 20% of students in the EU are taught by digitally confident teachers.
The percentages of teachers using information and communication technologies
(ICT) in more than 25% of courses has not increased since 2006
5. More than half the EU countries have reduced their investment in education and training between
2008 and 2011.
It had been estimated that by 2015, 90% of all jobs will need at least basic computer skills.
49% of EU citizens have no or low computer skills.
A recently launched EU initiative – Opening up education – aims to bridge this skills gap by bring
ing the digital revolution into education.
In February 2014, the 28 EU ministers responsible for education confirmed this strategy, encouragi
ng Member States to exploit the potential of new technologies and digital content to complement
traditional educational approaches.

13. But…
EDEN OPEN CLASSROOM 2015 – OPEN DISCOVERY SPACE CONFERENCE - “Transforming Schools Into Innovative Learning Organisations”
(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - OECD, 2015) in a recent study “Students
Computers and Learning” describes that using ICTs in school and/or at home does not mean that stu
dents will have by default better learning outcomes.
For example it is measured that students who use regularly computers in math lessons score lowest
in mathematics.
Similar finding also for reading skills
14. But… explained
EDEN OPEN CLASSROOM 2015 – OPEN DISCOVERY SPACE CONFERENCE - “Transforming Schools Into Innovative Learning Organisations”
The OECD study concludes that ICTs and Computers must not
be the goal but the tool.
To support and allow deeper and inquiry based learning.
New trends of ICTs assist this approach:
Interactivity
Experimentation/Simulation
Social networking tools
Gaming
Logging/analytics
Teachers need to act as agents not just for the implementation
of innovations in classroom but also in their design.
They should recognize their constant need for improving their
digital skills as an important asset towards this direction

The development of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) seeks to addr
ess the learning needs of teachers by creating “communities of professionals
caring for and working to improve student learning together, by engaging in

Digital Competence Skills
Digiskills is co-financed by the European Commission under the Lifelong Learning Program / Key
Activity 3 – ICT / Multilateral Project Framework
The goal of the DigiSkills project is
to support teachers of all levels of education to combine Information and Communication
(ICT) skills with pedagogy, to use ICT skills in the curriculum and in the institutional
organization.
The mails objectives of the project are
•to improve school/university/adult learning and teaching practice,
•to raise awareness of the educational community on the need for innovative teaching and learning
practices as well as learning to learn skills.
The core work of the network lies within the connection of best practices from various European
countries to show their own scenarios of use of learning tools and methodologies tested in their
own classrooms/institutions.

28. Digiskills tools: the Platform
A social networking platform offering eLearning resources to meet
the educational and quality needs of School Education, Higher
Education and Adult Education communities
A number of best practices have been identified to support the
training scenarios of the project, including different types of
educational material. Several focus groups created a significant
number of good/best practices that has been uploaded in
DigiSkills Inventory and stored as electronic files.
The best practices shared in the directory, address a range of
subjects and all levels of education, and they are freely available
The platform has 220 registered users
According to the interim evaluation,:
– 78% of 600 users agreed that the proposed best practices had a
significant impact on their professional development.
– 82% said they would recommend the platform to their colleagues.
29. Digiskills tools: Communities of Practice
The DigiSkills users have created communities in
order to share their practices and resources
based on the offered best practices from the
Digiskills platform
A strong community of 1500 users was created
that developed about 600 education resources
expanding the initial pool of about 40 Best
Practices that were proposed by the project
team
