The Non-Disposable Assignment: Enhancing Personalised Learning - Session 1Michael Paskevicius
Slides from our first meeting of three from a course redesign series on creating non-disposable assignments.
As advertised:
Do you want to offer students an opportunity to bring their passions, personal interests, and individual strengths into their coursework?
How can we design assessment which students feel connected to, value, and are proud to share with their peers?
Are you interested in learning how to create a non-disposable assignment for your students?
This 3-part assignment redesign workshop will take you through the steps to create a non-disposable assignment from beginning to end.
Disposable Assignments: "are assignments that students complain about doing and faculty complain about grading. They’re assignments that add no value to the world – after a student spends three hours creating it, a teacher spends 30 minutes grading it, and then the student throws it away” (Wiley, 2013).
This series is about creating a non-disposable assignment. The three sessions will blend a combination of some pre-reading, discussion, and in session time to flesh out the details of a rich assignment that allows students to co-create knowledge, be creative and engage in a personalised learning experience.
We’ll focus on crafting projects which meet your existing or redesigned course learning outcomes, explore tools for students to demonstrate their learning, and identify strategies for conducting peer-review. In the end you’ll end up with plan for implementing your redesigned assignment in Spring 2018 or Fall 2018.
Throughout the three-part workshop we will also be collectively exposing our own learnings to others in the group through a live reflection and blogging site to support our work. We hope faculty can attend all three parts as they are planned with the intent you are coming for the whole series.

Open educational resources: What are they and where do i find them?Amy Castillo
Presented at the Excellence in Teaching 2017 conference on February 10, 2017. Abstract: Have you ever considered using an open textbook in your class? How about open courses, quizzes, lab manuals, or other course materials? Open Educational Resources (OERs) are free and free to reuse resources or course materials that you can repurpose in your classes, including both written and multimedia content. There are OERs available for every subject matter and academic level. Tarleton librarians, Margie Maxfield Huth (Systems Librarian) and Amy Castillo (Periodicals & Electronic Resources Librarian) will discuss what OERs are, and how they can be used in the classroom. They will also show resources for identifying OERs that might be appropriate for use in your classes.
What can Open Access offer me as a teacher?: A guide to Open Access and to ed...Stian Håklev
Presentation given with Clare Brett as part of Master of Teachers Tech Day at OISE, Oct 20 2010.
Abstract: Open Access (OA) and Open Educational Resources (OER's) are terms being increasingly used in educational circles. There are a lot of free, well-designed and interesting curriculum resources out there for the discerning teacher to find and use in their classroom. This workshop will provide a tour of some of the key locations for finding such resources for k-12 teachers, as well as introducing you to the ideas behind Open Access in general, and a discussion of interesting new directions for lifelong professional development, such as the Peer-to-Peer university. The workshop will consist of introducing you to the terms and resources of Open Access as well as small group discussions on strategies and issues about using these resources in your classroom. This will be an interactive session, where your questions are welcome and will guide the kinds of materials we discuss.

In the professional literature, the term consortia cover a great range of cooperation situation and expressions according to the different contexts and period they were formed and developed. It has long been a precept of librarianship; however libraries have not used it widely until about the 1980s. The prime reason of establishing a library consortium is to share physical resources between member organizations. Through consortia, libraries are coordinating their purchasing to offer the best quality and quantity of resources to their patrons at a lower cost and also to make them available on users’ desktops. “Consortium purchasing is assisting libraries to deal with the increasing pressure of diminishing budgets, increasing user demand, and rising journal cost”

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.

network/blog/2011/oct/17/open-educational-resources-
collaboration
• “Still, you can see that many academics are not
so happy sharing their teaching resources, even
within their own institutions, which leads to a
sort of time wasting process for academics who
keep writing and creating materials, producing
tons of Power Points and podcasts, but barely
sharing them in their communities and
externally, and scarcely reusing OERs. We all talk
about the importance of collaborative
learning, but we don't talk about collaborative
production of learning materials and the ideas
adapting or reusing open educational resources.”
7. http://www.oercommons.org/
Open Educational Resources (OER) are
teaching and learning materials that you
may freely use and reuse, without
charge. Open Educational Resources are
different from other resources a teacher
may use in that OER have been given
limited or unrestricted licensing rights.
That means they have been authored or
created by an individual or organization
that chooses to retain few, if
any, ownership rights. For some of these
resources, that means you can download
the resource and share it with colleagues
and students. For others, it may be that
you can download a resource, edit it in
some way, and then re-post it as a
remixed work. OER often have a Creative
Commons or GNU license that state
specifically how the material may be
used, reused, adapted, and shared.
9. http://www.openeducationweek.org/
• “Open education is about sharing, reducing
barriers and increasing access in education. It
includes free and open access to platforms, tools
and resources in education (such as learning
materials, course materials, videos of
lectures, assessment tools, research, study
groups, textbooks, etc.). Open education seeks to
create a world in which the desire to learn is fully
met by the opportunity to do so, where
everyone, everywhere is able to access
affordable, educationally and culturally
appropriate opportunities to gain knowledge.”
26. Social Bookmarking
• PROS
– 20 people can achieve more than 1 alone
– Commenting on ‘bookmarks’
– Staff build resources together
– Research students/supervisors together
• CONS
– Software bought out/bookmarks lost
– Equity of effort?
32. Thoughts from the session:
• Schools have become adept at sharing
resources online, and sites such as e.g.
Guardian Gateway encourage this, but there
seems to be a dearth at HE level. Is Humbox
the first of many, or who is going to curate
content?
• In the pursuit of the new, we must think about
how we preserve old/relevant resources,
which demonstrate the development of ideas,
etc.

Editor's Notes
E-Tools for Sharing Resources Why share your work online?As belts tighten, academics can either draw into themselves and protect their Intellectual Property by placing walls around it, or seek to share resources, ideas, and move debates forward as re-invention of the wheel is taken out of the picture. With the option to apply ‘Creative Commons’ to your work, you can upload materials into online spaces, encouraging interest and debate in your academic work. What will I learn in this session?This session will consider some simple online resources which allow the sharing of materials, best practice for protecting your Intellectual Property whilst sharing your work in order to encourage discussion, debate, encourage others to build upon your work – and even potentially find joint funding opportunities. We will look at tools which have been suggested and/or used for assessment and feedback. Exactly what will be covered will depend upon recent research, but is anticipated to cover: Jing (for screencasting)Delicious (online bookmarking)Slideshare (for uploading PowerPoints)Humbox (for uploading resources specific to the academic Humanities community) The session will also give a brief overview of Creative Commons licences, and will open up space for conversational debate regarding pros/cons, specific elements to think about if sharing your work online, amongst the delegates. There is no expectation that this session will provide any legal advice. What do I need before I attend?No specific requirements, but it would be helpful if you considered your own experiences of sharing work (whether in the online or offline spaces), and any particular benefits/concerns that you’d like to bring to the table. When are the sessions?Thursday 22nd March 2012 (12-2) MB1 Facilitators: Dr Bex Lewis and Yaz El-Hakim
