Learning by Making - Internet Librarian 2015 #ili2015 Fers
Libraries are about knowledge creation. They must return to this core but have to make progress at the same time.
In my view connecting with maker culture, or better yet, be a vibrant part of it, is one of the ways to achieve this goal. Essentially makers and librarians are the same, except for the hands-on approach.

Presentation at Stellenbosch University 14th Annual Library Symposium

Shaping the academic library of the future: adapt, empower, partner, engage
The tradition of the Stellenbosch University Annual Library Symposium of being a platform for discussing new library and information services and developments will continue at the 14th Annual Library Symposium in November 2016. The discussion will be turned to the shaping of the academic library of the future. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of adapting to users’ needs, adapting to new roles as librarians, adapting as a library, empowerment of staff and clients and the importance of partnerships and engagement.
The theme is partly based on the recent OCLC report, Shaping the Library to the life of the user: adapting, empowering, partnering, engaging. In this report it becomes clear that “research and learning needs are changing. Higher education is reconfiguring. As a result of these massive changes, the library must pivot and adapt”. The following core themes are mentioned in this report: to empower users, to empower the library, form partnerships and to engage the campus community. The report advises libraries to be able to “move from offering a fixed set of services to a ‘constant beta’ mode of service evolution” .
Three different sessions will focus on the following themes, all related to the shaping of the academic library of the future:
Digital innovation: Topics of this session may include Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Research Data Management, Big Data, E-learning, Digital Humanities, Next Generation Systems.
Collaboration / Partnerships : Partnerships with OCLC, SANLIC and other consortia as well as other collaboration possibilities will be discussed.
The user experience: Academic staff, researchers and students of local universities will share their expectations as users of academic libraries.

User growth and feature enhancements are the building blocks towards the early success of a startup, but as a startup becomes a company, it needs to be able to stand on its own. Monetizing a startup can be a harrowing and heart wrenching experience, since many companies put off these integrations until a product is established, leaving them with little choice but to resort to traditional monetization methodologies like advertising, since any model doesn't fit their current product state, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Through working with thousands of startups within PayPal innovation programs and beyond, we have seen how early adoption of proper monetization methodologies can provide you with creative solutions for building a financial backing into your startup, without ever having to resort to hard selling your users to help keep you profitable; the same users who built your product to begin with.
Exploring these principles, we'll see how essential creative monetization principles are towards building a strong backbone into a startup, helping it survive the trials of feature and user growth.

Mas información sobre este curso en: http://educagratis.cl/moodle/course/view.php?id=295
La arquitectura es el arte y técnica de proyectar y diseñar edificios, otras estructuras y espacios que forman el entorno humano. El término «arquitectura» proviene del griego arch, cuyo significado es ‘jefe’, ‘quien tiene el mando’), y tekton, es decir, ‘constructor’ o ‘carpintero’). Así, para los antiguos griegos el arquitecto es el jefe o el director de la construcción y la arquitectura es la técnica o el arte de quien realiza el proyecto y dirige la construcción de los edificios y estructuras, ya que la palabra techne significa ‘saber hacer alguna cosa’. De ella proceden las palabras «técnica» y también «tectónico» (‘constructivo’)....Encuentra mas cursos en: http://educagratis.cl/moodle/

Public libraries in The Netherlands: a powerful networkFers
In this presentation I will briefly present the structure of the public library network in the Netherlands, with particular emphasis on the way public library innovation is “organised”. There is currently a community of practice (CoP) organised for every specific area of library innovation which at the same time also addresses officially established national priorities, i.e. lifelong learning, development of traditional library services, education of the young population, etc. Librarians in each of the CoPs share experiences specific to their field based on which they identify future activities aimed at the development of the particular field. Librarians included in this CoP system come from libraries of all types and sizes regardless of the province or region.
Keywords: innovation, collaboration, Communities of Practice, network

FryskLab - Education, innovation and maker culture in the libraryFers
FryskLab is an initiative of Library Service Friesland (Bibliotheekservice Fryslân, BSF) and the Frisian public library network. Friesland is a rural province in the northern part of the Netherlands and FryskLab, operating from a truck formerly used as a bookmobile, is Europe’s first official library FabLab, or “fabrication laboratory”. Its varied team consists of IT specialists, arts management professionals and librarians, and its goal is to examine the extent to which this mobile FabLab initiative contributes to the development of creative, technical and entrepreneurial skills of children and young adults. The project is ultimately expected to result in an increase of the innovative capacities of the entire province of Friesland.
Officially launched in 2014, FryskLab has so far received a number of awards, including the American Library Association’s (ALA) 2017 Presidential Citations for Innovative International Library Projects award. Making knowledge and sharing the future, the motto of the FryskLab project, reinforces the role of libraries in facilitating access to various “tools of knowledge” (equipment and technology) and providing support in the form of various educational and training programmes, effectively bringing together physical and digital, traditional and modern means of acquiring knowledge.

Kennisland Out of Office Maker Party: auteursrecht en de makerscultuurFers
Presentatie bij Out of Office van Kennisland, over auteursrecht en de makerscultuur.
Kennisland organiseert samen met de Mozilla Foundation een ‘Maker Party’ over de makercultuur: de hedendaagse cultuur waarin meer mensen actief dingen maken voor privégebruik, voor de commerciële markt en om gratis te delen. Zo kan tegenwoordig iedereen zijn zelfgemaakte foto’s gemakkelijk online delen, kunnen docenten hun eigen lesprogramma’s ontwikkelen en afstemmen op de behoeften van hun leerlingen en kan een muzikant eenvoudig muziek remixen.22RemixenVoor een leuke introductie in ‘remixen’ raden we de minidocumentaire ‘Everything is a remix aan’. Een maker party is een informatieve, feestelijke bijeenkomst waar makers, technici en juristen hun ideeën auteursrecht kunnen delen en kunnen bedenken hoe we deze kunnen verbeteren.
Tijdens deze Out of Office staat de makercultuur binnen de culturele sector, bibliotheken en het onderwijs centraal. De makercultuur in deze sectoren wordt beperkt door gedateerde regels binnen het huidige auteursrecht. De volgende vragen komen aan bod: hoe draagt de makercultuur bij aan ontwikkelingen in de culturele sector, hoe pas ik de waarden van de makercultuur toe binnen de beperkende regels en hoe draagt de makercultuur bij aan een kennissamenleving?

Maken in de Bibliotheek, presentatie bij Platform voor medezeggenschap in de ...Fers
Vanuit het Platform voor medezeggenschap in de bibliotheekwereld wordt ieder jaar begin april een tweedaagse bijeenkomst over thema’s die de medezeggenschap bezig houden georganiseerd. De laatste jaren komt de toekomst van de bibliotheek daar telkens aan de orde. Het afgelopen jaar werden weer veel ondernemingsraden geconfronteerd met zware bezuinigingen met als gevolg een ingrijpende reorganisatie en ontslagen. In veel plannen wordt dan gesproken over de grote veranderingen die noodzakelijk zijn en die ingrijpende maatregelen nodig maken. De vraag waar een ondernemingsraad dan o.a. voor komt te staan is of die veranderingen de ingrijpende maatregelen rechtvaardigen. Of wel, ‘waar doen we het allemaal voor?’ Voor de medezeggenschap blijft dat veelal erg onduidelijk. Hoe ziet die nieuwe bibliotheek er straks dan uit en hoe ziet ons werk er dan uit? Hierover mocht ik voor de deelnemers van de studiedagen een inleiding verzorgen.
Bibliotheekservice Fryslân (BSF) brengt met MediawijzerMakers! mediawijsheid en de makersbeweging samen. Deze elementen passen binnen de inhoudelijke- en innovatiestandpunten van BSF. Met Mediawijzermakers! willen we bereiken dat mediacoaches zelf hun mediawijsheidsaanbod kunnen maken. Het vastleggen van deze vaardigheden gebeurt zowel in het Fries als het Nederlands. Als maakplatform hiervoor wordt het laagdrempelige en gratis online programma Mozilla Webmaker gebruikt. Tijdens zogenaamde Maker Parties lieten wij in december 2015 collega's uit het Friese Bibliotheek Netwerk aan de slag gaan met Maker Boxes, een concept van Ake Nygren. Zij pakten hiermee letterlijk en figuurlijk digitale geletterdheid uit.

Door het veranderende onderwijs- en informatielandschap staan (hogeschool)bibliotheken voor nieuwe uitdagingen. Langzaam maar zeker krijgen bibliotheken een ander uitzicht: naast de printcollectie en groepswerkplekken sluipen ook 3D-printers, multimedialabs en film-& montagecellen de bibliotheek binnen. Ook het digitale verhaal vraagt een creatief antwoord.
Het is aan de informatiespecialist om de nieuwe noden van het onderwijslandschap in kaart te brengen en de services en diensten van de bibliotheek hierop af te stemmen.
Tijdens deze studiedag komen enkele voorbeelden aan bod hoe in Vlaanderen en Nederland met deze uitdagingen kan worden omgegaan.
Deze studiedag wordt georganiseerd door de sectie Hogeschoolbibliotheken, maar staat uiteraard ook open voor medewerkers uit andere bibliotheken.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
