Promoting Open Access and Open Educational Resources to FacultyNASIG
Heather Crozier, presenter
Student debt is a compelling issue and many institutions are investigating solutions to ease the financial burdens of their students. Increasing the use of open educational resources benefits students by reducing course costs. Adopting OER in the classroom allows faculty more freedom in choosing instructional tools. Faculty also benefit from open access publishing by increasing their exposure. However, on the campus of a small, private institution, attendance at workshops to spread awareness and increase the use of these materials was minimal. Faculty had the perception that free resources could not be the same quality as traditional resources. In order to dispel this myth, the Electronic Resources Librarian and Educational Technology Manager collaborated to create custom one hour sessions for individual departments, leveraging library/faculty liaison relationships and the expertise of the office of educational technology. In the session, faculty learn more about open access publishing options, the value of open educational resources, the quality of many open educational resources, and where to find these resources. The session uses the course management system to both disseminate the information shared in the session and create a forum for departments to share resources with each other. Through the CMS, faculty gain access to vetted resources. All attendants have editing privileges within the site after the workshop, allowing them to curate course-specific lists for sharing and future reference. Pilot sessions have been well received and wider implementation is planned for the next academic year.
`A Survey on approaches of Web Mining in Varied Areasinventionjournals
There has been lot of research in recent years for efficient web searching. Several papers have proposed algorithm for user feedback sessions, to evaluate the performance of inferring user search goals. When the information is retrieved, user clicks on a particular URL. Based on the click rate, ranking will be done automatically, clustering the feedback sessions. Web search engines have made enormous contributions to the web and society. They make finding information on the web quick and easy. However, they are far from optimal. A major deficiency of generic search engines is that they follow the ‘‘one size fits all’’ model and are not adaptable to individual users.

Making sense of open scholarly communications data - Jisc Digifest 2016Jisc
The transition to open access (OA) is being accompanied by opening up financial data about the scholarly communications system. The costs of both journal subscriptions and open access article processing charges (APCs) – along with the revenues of the publishers who receive them – are now subject to great scrutiny.
This session will describe how and why this is happening and discuss the potential impact of the ‘new normal’ of financial transparency for publishers, librarians, and intermediaries.

The high school students must be observed for their slow learning or quick learning abilities to provide
them with the best education practices. Such analysis can be perfectly performed over the student
performance data. The high school student data has been obtained from the schools from the various
regions in Punjab, a pivotal state of India. The complete student data and the selective data of almost 1300
students obtained from one school in the regions has been undergone the test using the proposed model in
this paper. The proposed model is based upon the naïve bayes classification model for the data
classification using the multi-factor features obtained from the input dataset. The subject groups have been
divided into the two primary groups: difficult and normal. The classification algorithm has been applied
individually over data grouped in the various subject groups. Both of the early stage classification events
have produced the almost similar results, whereas the results obtained from the classification events over
the averaging factors and the floating factors told the different story than the early stage classification. The
proposed model results have shown that the deep analysis of the data tells the in-depth facts from the input
data. The proposed model can be considered as the effective classification model when evaluated from the
results described in the earlier sections.

Doing More with Less: The Crisis, Cooperation, and the Librarykramsey
The current financial situation has forced many libraries to pay unprecedented attention to how they are organized to achieve their missions. One common thread emerging in the responses is cooperation: those needing to cut costs sharply are finding that they cannot do so incrementally but must instead transform their activities in ways that spread cost and diffuse risk among many partners. The talk will cover some of the opportunities available for transformative institutional collaboration among libraries, including collaborative, open source software development as well as the challenges facing those attempting to collaborate. It will pay particular attention to the question of how to collaborate strategically: that is, how to ensure that collaboration retains or increases a library’s ability to pursue mission, enhance agility, increase sovereignty, and improve sustainability.
What if you ran your library like a bookstore?kramsey
Libraries may have unique missions, but the way we accomplish them has a lot in common with many other businesses and institutions. This presentation will take a look what we can learn from bookstores, public radio, parks and recreation departments and other organizations that could help us reduce costs and improve revenues for libraries. And what could happen if we don’t.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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”.
