Designing for Openness: Values Based Organisations Place in the Digital Lands...Ronald Macintyre
Digitisation, open and online, digital innovation, digital participation, all press on and ask questions of values based organisations. Based on work with a range of Third Sector partners over a number of years this paper explores how values based organisation understand and find their place in messy landscape. Suggesting it is not always appropriate for values based organisations to adopt practices from private sector digital disruptors, as these start with different assumptions and values, but instead develop their own approaches based on their organisational values and the needs of the people they support. Using work with a range of partners in different sector, from Health and Social Care to Trade Unions the paper looks at how values based organisations have approached this tension. Sharing what has been learnt from working in partnership, and how this has informed a mutual understanding of how to design and produce digital artefacts and critically the social and situated nature of how they are used.

“Research Beyond Academia” - will look at how to
engage with industry as part of the research process, with
a focus on how to identify research questions that are
relevant and interesting to non-academic institutions, how
to determine appropriate potential non-academic partners
for grant proposals, and how to approach them and "sell"
your new research ideas.

insights into gallery/curatorial practice from the management side and from the artists point of view
Design and Design Thinking has been business and management for some time, with influential thinkers like Roger Martin at Harvard, and Tim Brown of IDEO promoting the approach as a way to address complex problems in the public and the private sector (Brown and Martin 2015). Part of the interest relates to the way design tools have been used in the digital economy to create artefacts and systems, the success of these things leading to the sense that the design is an approach to problem solving that can be applied in a number of contexts. This paper is an attempt to make sense of design based approaches as a research tool. It is based on my own interest in, and experience of, using these approaches in work with Third Sector organisations as they explore and develop their engagement with the digital world. Influenced by Dorst and Cross (2001) my own work places the focus on the organisation, and on how values are articulated, explored, contested and narrated through design, production and use of digital media. Even a simplistic account of design practice recognises it as a creative inquiry. However, in order to develop a more sophisticated understanding of design practice as research practice there is a need to look at the mode of inquiries used within design. In particular, what kinds of questions can design based approaches address. The paper will report on the insights that a design approach to action research can bring by focussing on Voluntary Organisations and value.
Business Models for Digital Content: A Perspective from UK Higher Education a...EUscreen
Presentation by Catherine Grout about a perspective on business models for digital content from UK Higher Education and on the work of the Strategic Content Alliance at the Second EUscreen International Conference on Use and Creativity, which took place at the National Library of Sweden, Stockholm, on September 15-16, 2011.
Tim Bullough & Anthony Sinclair: Working with your discipline's HEA Subject Centres. Slides from the University of Liverpool Learning and Teaching Conference 2009.
The Higher Education Academy was formed in 2004 as “a single, central body to support the enhancement of learning and teaching in higher education” in the UK. It currently spends about half of its ~£25million annual budget supporting a Subject Network of 24 National Subject Centres, designed to support teaching and learning across all the main subject disciplines in UK higher education. Although the Subject Centre network is well used by many academic staff, the majority probably have little contact with them. The aim of this session is to discuss ways in which teaching staff can work with, and potentially be supported by, the their discipline’s Subject Centre. Examples will include how staff at Liverpool work with their Subject Centre to develop teaching resources, help train and support fellow academic teachers and students, and even inform national policy.
Teaching Development Grants are a common way that Subject Centres support academic staff, providing funds to develop teaching resources or investigate teaching policy. A major study has just been completed by UKCME (the materials subject centre) analysing the characteristics of Teaching Development Grants which produced useful outputs for individual academics, departments and/or the discipline’s community. These will be discussed by UKCME researchers and colleagues in the History, Classics and Archaeology Subject Centre also based in Liverpool. The session should be of interest to any teaching staff at Liverpool who currently work with their discipline’s subject centre, or have thought about doing so but were not sure where to start.

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.
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.
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.
