Is digital technology fundamentally changing learning and teaching in higher education, altering how courses are planned and delivered, and how learners experience higher education?
Or is the use of digital technology in education more of an evolution of existing practices, with economic forces likely to be a much more significant driver of change over the next ten years?
Opening keynote
Speaker: Simon Barrable, deputy principal - innovations, operational and strategic planning, Portsmouth College.
This session will give delegates a brief overview of Portsmouth College and the journey we have been on. It will explain how the introduction of 1-2-1 devices for all staff and students drove a transformation in our use of technology in teaching and learning.
It will show how staff (and students) have been digitally upskilled through this change and the way we defined and treated it as a whole college learning journey.
Twitter is widely used by undergraduate students, and this presentation offers a case study of its adoption to support students on three undergraduate modules. It considers the use of Twitter in-class to facilitate discussion, feedback and collaboration, particularly in large-group teaching, where discussion can be difficult to initiate and make inclusive. It also shows how Twitter provides great opportunities to extend traditional classroom boundaries, considering two ways in which this is so. First, it offers a replacement to email communication that promotes more collaborative, dialogue-based interaction, closer to that which occurs within the face-to-face classroom environment. Second, in so doing, it provides enhanced opportunities for continuous student feedback and intervention-based support. In short, we will see how Twitter encourages student engagement within and between classes, promoting students’ self-led, peer-supported learning.

Despite the myth of "digital natives," most of my students have very little experience using technology as anything more than a consumer device. It doesn't have to be this way. By using the design thinking cycle, teachers can foster creative thinking in every content area.
With the explosion of the maker movement, schools are beginning to embrace creativity. However, what does this mean for assessment? Should we assess the creative process? Should we assess the finished product? Does assessing creativity actually make kids more risk-averse? In this workshop we explore what it means to assess both the creative process and the creative product without leading to risk aversion.

Here Comes the iPad Generation - BETT 2016 presentationMartin Hamilton
Slides from talk for BETT 2016's Technology in Higher Education Summit. We grew up in a world where information was scarce and rationed. The university and college students of tomorrow are today's "iPad generation", growing up in a world where all of the world's information is available at the touch of a fingertip. The monopoly on information has been broken. What will our institutions have to do in order to remain relevant and continue to attract students?
Makers Go To College - Your Digital Future 2016Martin Hamilton
Young digital makers will need a new kind of college - some thoughts from me, presented at the City of Liverpool College Your Digital Future event in June 2016.
In 2009, Irynsoft started as a company to deliver online educational content on mobile devices--specifically iPhones. Planning to deliver this software as a service to colleges and universities, Irynsoft co-opted open education resources and gave away the software to gain credibility, support initial adoption, and learn about usage patterns and customer reaction. The goal was to obtain 10,000 customers to show how the technology sufficiently scaled. Less than two years late without any money spent on marketing their apps, Irynsoft has become a pioneer in open education on mobile devices, accumulating over 100,000 downloads of their platform and served up terabytes of free video content to support partnerships including MIT OpenCourseware and Khan Academy. The wildly successful apps have led Irynsoft to dramatically change their business strategy to focus on supporting open courseware's adoption through specialized tablet devices resold by Irynsoft themselves. This talk will share a history lesson of the past two years of a unique company, the habits of the early adopters of Irynsoft's technology, and why Irynsoft is convinced that mobile is the future of open education resources.

Past President, NCLCA
Technology is present in our everyday lives from e-mail to e-Commerce from Internet to Instant Messaging from Youtube videos to video conferencing from social networking to Skyping from texting to online textbooks. Technologies bring together the seemingly disparate concepts of ease and complexity. Compared to just ten years ago, we have much more ease in accessing information, resources, and multimedia, but keeping up with emerging technologies can be complex and overwhelming. Knowing what technologies your students have and how they can be leveraged to increase students' success in college can be intimidating. Emerging technologies such as social networking, multi-media sharing, collaborative workspaces, and mobile technologies are significantly changing the nature of learning and learner expectations for interaction, access, and engagement. Learning center professionals need to leverage emerging technologies in ways that can enhance they ways in which we deliver services, create resources, market our centers, manage and train staff, and evaluate our centers. This pre-conference institute will address the following:
Provide a practical guide for how to best understand and evaluate the usefulness of emerging technologies;
Introduce participants to some free technology resources that can help learning center professionals maximize their resources and outreach to students;
Discuss best practices in implementing technology innovations in learning centers; and
Help participants devise a plan for how to choose the technology tools that will help them meet their goals in managing their learning center.
Keep taking the tablets? The graduation of the iPad generationMartin Hamilton
Over the last ten years, smartphones and tablets and pervasive Internet connectivity have taken over our lives, and more importantly the lives of our children. In this talk for Loughborough University's 2018 Learning and Teaching conference I reflect on how higher education could respond to this trend. I invite the audience to consider what children who have always had access to the sum total of human knowledge will will expect and need from universities in the future, and how we might best support learners from disadvantaged backgrounds to thrive
The Intelligent Campus - Where the Internet of Things meets AI - HESCA June 2018Martin Hamilton

Does it feel like the world has recently become much less certain and predictable? We tend to expect that each day will be like the last, more or less, but incremental change is increasingly feeling like a thing of the past. In this talk for the 2018 Scientia EMEA User Conference I look at how we can read the signals around us to better predict the future, and consider the impact of technologies and trends like blockchain, artificial intelligence and Brexit on further and higher education
From Blockchain to Brexit - edtech trends for 2018 - BETT 2018Martin Hamilton
In this talk for BETT 2018 I take a look at a few of the socio-technical trends that are set to have a big impact on universities and colleges in 2018 from blockchain to Brexit, and data vandalism to UK spaceports. I look at some approaches that institutions can take to help plan for an uncertain future, and consider how the community can mobilise to protect the progressive values that now often seem to be under threat.

In this invited talk for the BCS I look at the state of the art in robots and artificial intelligence, and what this tells us about the near-term future that our children and grandchildren will live in. Will the imminent arrival of AI powered self-driving vehicles mean redundancies for truck and taxi drivers? What will these people do next? I also show how robots and AI are already becoming commonplace, working in places like shops, restaurants and distribution centres
Martin Hamilton - What did your AI make today? - BCS invited talkMartin Hamilton
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are used extensively by Internet services to help us find and classify information. This is how products like Google Photos can "magically" find all your photos of cats or trees - or cats up trees! But there's a new wave of AI called generative adversarial neural networks that's all about using AI to make things. In this invited talk for the British Computer Society (BCS) I reflect on what we could use this technology for and the implications for people and society.
Blockchain in research and education - UKSG Webinar - September 2017Martin Hamilton
There’s a lot of hype right now about blockchain, the technology that underpins the Bitcoin virtual currency, with speculation that it could transform just about every aspect of our lives. In this talk for UKSG I consider possible blockchain applications in research and education, and do a little myth-busting about when and where it makes sense to use blockchain.
HPC in the cloud comes of age - Red Oak HPC SeminarMartin Hamilton
What does HPC in the cloud look like in 2017, and how did we get there?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

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.
