Agile-Friendly User Research. Nina Belk, UX People, 2013Nina Belk
“It takes too long." "We don’t have the budget." "We don’t really need it, we can just optimise once we’ve gone live.” Sound familiar?
As UX embraces agile as a project delivery approach, research seems get left out in the cold. Rather than shivering and complaining about it though maybe we just need to stick two fingers up to these assumptions and dare to do things a little differently!
In her workshop at UX People, Nina helped delegates explore how to bring research in from the cold on agile projects. There were tips on getting the research basics right (effective participant recruitment and facilitation techniques), and delegates were given the opportunity to road-test their facilitation and analysis skills in an agile-friendly framework (full exercises not available in this presentation).
If you're looking to arm yourself with some practical skills, and a research approach that will blow those assumptions about speed, cost and the lack of value out of the water then this workshop would have been for you, but you'll have to make do with this SlideShare presentation instead!

A look at how current approaches to promoting PD for EFL instructors in the UAE may not be that effective. The author suggests the use of social networking tools to support sharing, testing, and collaborating amongst instructors as an alternative. This may also help realize a "community of best practice" for UAE based EFL instructors. On a micro level this can be accomplished through reflective practice and Journaling via blogs. On a macro level this might be accomplished through social networking tools such as Ning, Twitter and Facebook. Efforts are under way to join TESOL Arabia SIGs via such tools.

Creating a Future-Proof Training Hub in Moodle LMSLambda Solutions
A learning management system is a significant investment for any business, which makes finding an LMS that will enable your business to achieve your training goals and corporate objectives a critical piece of the puzzle.
But how do you do this?
The key is to select a system that is flexible and robust enough to meet your requirements, and adaptable enough to meet your needs as your requirements change and your business grows. The needs of every business are unique, so a one-size fits all LMS may quickly limit your organization’s ability to evolve and innovate. That’s why having an LMS solution that offers the flexibility, scalability and features/functionality your business needs—now, and in the future—is critical for both your short-term and long term success.
This presentation will demonstrate how Moodle, the world’s leading open source LMS platform, gives businesses the flexibility and capabilities they need to:
- Design and build the most effective learning environment for learners
- Deliver a range of online training courses from employee onboarding, workshop courses, ongoing training
- Enhance learner engagement and productivity to drive real behavioral impact
- Meet content compliance standards requirements like SCORM, AICC, xAPI (Tin Can)
- Continuously improve the performance and outcomes of your training programs to deliver maximum business impact

Forcing Disruption in b‐Learning WorkgroupsRosario Cação
Sometimes, it may be desirable to promote the disruption of established workgroups in order to promote the students’ ability to work with different persons, working conditions, and leadership styles. We describe the impact of different techniques to promote the disruption of workgroups in b-learning contexts. The results show that the groups tend to keep unchanged, even if they are not working properly and that a non-sense game and a technique of creation of groups based on common interests can provoke healthy disruptions in the existing groups, promote the creation of new groups without installing conflicts, and increase the students’ motivation. The results of our study are useful for teachers and trainers who promote workgroups in their courses and are interested in improving their students’ motivation with their workgroups and in helping the students work with different groups and develop behavioral skills.

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.

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
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.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
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.

• Lecture style
• Boring presentations followed by
short comments
• Requires no preparation from the
participants
• Ends as soon as the last presentation
ends
3. Traditional Models
are Ineffective
• Based on passive learning approaches
• Attention declines after the first 10 minutes
• People remember only 20% of the material presented
• A bit of motivation is murdered each minute
• Critical thinking, problem solving, and application are not
fostered
• The best interaction happens at coffee breaks and social
dinners

27. There are several ways to flip a
conference. The important
thing is to flip it in ways that
engage participants.
28. Example: EMOOCS 2015
The organization created a MOOC for
a conference on MOOCs. The MOOC
had no instructors but a scientific
committee who invited multiple
contributors from different
institutions. It was not a course but a
series of collaborative discussions on
a new field under construction.
Before the conference, the
participants had access to video
presentations and quizzes and
started preliminary discussions
online.
During the conference, they
discussed further with the authors
and shared their experience.
The course is still available online,
allowing further discussion and
reflection.

EdCamp Conferences
(http://edcamp.org/) are user-generated
conferences dedicated to k-12 educators and
educational technology usually free or low-cost.
Sessions are not planned until the day of the
conference and participants can volunteer to
facilitate a conversation or topic.
They are based on Barcamps.

34. Examples of Unconferences
Fishbowls
Conversations
Four to five chairs are arranged in an inner circle
and the rest of the chairs are arranged in circles
outside this fishbowl. The moderator introduces the
topic and participants start to discuss it.
In an open fishbowl, one chair is left empty and any
member of the audience an occupy it, forcing
another to leave and fee a chair.
Fishbowls can have only two chairs and when
someone wants to join this conversation, they tap
the shoulder of the person they want to replace.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishbowl_(conversation)
35. Examples of Unconferences
Knowledge or World
Cafe
All participants are seated in a circle and the
facilitator poses one or two key open-ended
questions. After this introduction, small groups
(about 5 persons) discuss the questions without any
facilitator. They then return to the circle and they all
reflect on the small group discussions.
