This document discusses several websites that utilize user-contributed metadata or tagging. These include Flickr for photo sharing, Delicious for bookmark sharing, Wikipedia for collaborative editing of encyclopedia entries, Technorati for blog tagging, and LibraryThing for tagging personal book collections. It also mentions PennTags for tagging university resources, Steve for tagging museum items, Connotea and CiteULike for tagging academic papers, and ESP Game and Google Image Labeler for collaborative image tagging.

Instructions for Submissions thorugh G- Classroom.pptxJheel Barad
Â
This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
Operation âBlue Starâ 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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
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.
1. Some sites using user-contributed metadata
Flickr <http://www.flickr.com/> is an online photo sharing site, which states âhelp
people make their photos available to the people who matter to themâ and âenable new
ways of organizing photosâ as its two main goals.
Del.icio.us <http://del.icio.us/> is a site for tagging and sharing Web sites, including âour
favorite articles, blogs, music, restaurant reviews, and more.â
Wikipedia <http://www.wikipedia.org> is an online, entirely user-created encyclopedia.
Any registered user can create or edit entries. Some level of editorial control exists, but in
general the community relies on its users to monitor the quality of content.
Technorati <http://www.technorati.com/> is a popular site for exploring creator-tagged
blog entries (among a few other things).
LibraryThing <http://www.librarything.com/> is an application of tagging to personal
book collections. It can pull bibliographic information from the Library of Congress or
amazon.com, saving users the time of entering this information manually. A free account
allows a user to tag and manage up to 200 books. The site also features disambiguation
mechanisms whereby users can tell the system that two books represent the same work,
or two authors represent the same person. Perhaps LibraryThingâs most important and
innovative feature is providing recommendations for new books to read based on the tags
a user has applied to his collection.
PennTags <http://tags.library.upenn.edu/> is a tagging site intended for the University of
Pennsylvania community. In addition to tagging Web sites, PennTags allows users to tag
records from the Penn online catalog and individual journal articles. It represents an
interesting move by a library into the tagging community.
Steve <http://www.steve.museum/> is an initiative from the museum community to
harness the efforts of knowledgeable users in describing museum resources. Steve is
unusual for a tagging initiative in that users donât select their own resources to tag, but
rather are presented with system-selected resources for tagging. It remains to be seen if
the data produced by tagging in this type of environment results in the rich data provided
by users describing their own resources.
Connotea <http://www.connotea.org/> is a tagging site intended for âresearchers and
cliniciansâ to âkeep links to the articles you read and the websites you use, and a place to
find them again.â It markets itself as a way for scientists to organize scholarly reference
lists, and originated from the Nature Publishing Group.
CiteULike <http://www.citeulike.org/> âis a free service to help academics to share,
store, and organise the academic papers they are reading.â Users tag citations, and add
them to personal libraries.
2. 2
ESP Game <http://www.espgame.org/> from Carnegie Mellon University collects labels
for images on the Web from users by pairing two users online at the same time and
challenging them to agree on a label for a series of images. They offer an image search
<http://www.captcha.net/esp-search.html> using the labels theyâve collected through the
game.
Google Image Labeler <http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/> also matches users
with partners to label images. When two users agree on a label, a new image is displayed
for labeling. Points are awarded based on how many images were labeled before time
runs out.
Amazon Mechanical Turk <http://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome> is a service that
matches tasks easily performed by humans with software applications that need the
information provided by those tasks. Individuals who complete tasks earn small amounts
of money, generally less than a dollar. The service includes an API so that developers can
integrate the service into their applications.
