Supporting Campus-Wide Culture Change at Northeast Wisconsin Technical Colleg...Timothy Yandila
How a Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) is improving student success with the help of Starfish, an early alert system designed to increase student engagement.
Record enrollments, a new version of Blackboard, limited staff equals a recipe for disaster! See how Fresno State survived with the Blackboard Student Orientation course.
In this presentation you will learn first-hand how Fresno State prepared students for Blackboard 9.1 Service Pack 13. Faced with a record freshman enrollment and skyrocketing online courses, ensuring that students had the technology and the skills to be successful in the online classroom was paramount. To meet this challenge, the Blackboard 9.1 Student Orientation Course was developed. This course, available to all students, was built on best practices in online course design with a focus on active engagement. Students enrolling in the course came away with hands-on experience with all the Blackboard 9.1 tools, knowledge of the Fresno State interface, and a Certificate of Completion, which they received after demonstrating skills through an assessment.
Encouraged by faculty, and the chance to win prizes, nearly 2000 students self-enrolled at the beginning of the fall 2013 semester. The course, facilitated by an Instructional Designer and student assistants, proved to help students became comfortable with the tools and technology used in online courses and provided a safe space for asking Blackboard related questions. This was clearly evident by the reduced number of "how to" calls to the Blackboard Resource Center on campus.
Using a backchannel to drive discussion and answer questions, the presenter ensures that you will come away from this session with a sustainable plan that you can immediately implement on your campus for preparing students to use Blackboard. In addition to the course, you may take away a module that instructors can import into their own course and customize . The goal is that students are prepared for the technology so that they are able to focus on the content and assignments once the course begins.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

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.
