This document discusses using Facebook in educational contexts. It notes that students are increasingly using online tools and have high levels of technology access. While students are often characterized as "digital natives," research finds their skills are more varied. The document explores using Facebook for a specialist conference module and hospitality placements to facilitate inter-year support and engagement through groups, images, and connections. It analyzes the educational affordances and challenges of using Facebook, such as managing privacy and constraints.

The presentation looks beyond this to a holist model of distance learning that embodies collective and set entities as well as networks and groups.

Design is the New Black - How to integrate thoughtful learning design in soci...Stella Lee
This is my talk at Lingnan University Hong Kong on April 19, 2012.
Abstract: Social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Yammer, and YouTube are finding their way into the classrooms and work-placed learning. People use these tools to communicate, collaborate, share and create. Thus far, much of the knowledge sharing and creation is being done on an ad-hoc basis, and detached from integrating social media into a larger pedagogical framework of organizational learning, both formally and informally. What does it mean to use social media for professional development? More importantly, how do we design meaningful learning environments to ensure a positive learning experience? This seminar will examine some of the issues concerning the role of social media, and share some examples and best practices on how to design and integrate social media into higher education. Examples will also include the impact of social media on global corporate environments which have relevance for graduates.

Understanding Networked Scholars: Experiences and practices in online social ...George Veletsianos
Slides from an invited talk given to the The 4th International Conference on E-learning and Distance Education located in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Online journals, online forums, and social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are an integral part of open and digital scholarship, which is often seen as a major breakthrough in radically rethinking the ways in which knowledge is created and shared. In this presentation I situate networked practices in open/digital scholarship and explain what scholars and professors do online, and, why they do the things that the do. I conclude by describing 3 themes pervasive in scholarly networks: identify networks, networks of conflict, and networks of disclosure.

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.

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.

7. How would you characterise your
learners?
• In terms of;
– Their access to kit
– The range of services they access
– The sort of activities they use the kit for
– The skills and practices they have in
relation to
• Their kit
• using it to support their studies
8. Digital Natives Debate
• Learners’ ICT skills are less advanced than educators and learners
think (Nicholas et al. 2008, JISC 2008-9)
• Characterisation of young people as ‘digital natives’ hides many
contradictions in their experiences (Luckin et al. 2009)
• Learners’ engagement with digital medias complex and
differentiated (Bennet et al. 2008, Hargittai, 2009)
• Learners experience many difficulties in transposing practices from
social contexts into formal learning (Cranmer 2006)
• Active knowledge building and sharing are minority activities which
they are introduced to by educators (Selwyn 2009)
• Can be clashes between everyday practice and academic practice
(Beetham 2009)
