This document summarizes a presentation given at UPCEA's 98th Annual Conference titled "From Zero to Sixty in 18 Months" by Dave King and Chris LaBelle of Oregon State University. It describes how they transformed their continuing education program from a team of 2 people with 3 programs to a team of 23 people with over 100 new programs, 500k in grants, and record enrollment numbers. They accomplished this through finding the right team players committed to their vision, defining success, and staying focused on their principles while allowing their culture to evolve over time in service of the university's mission.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Initially, the opportunity looked like the Stone of Sisyphus. A greek tragedy where the same approach was taken over and over again yielding the same unfortunate result.
When I initially moved into my new role, everyone tried hard to be nice, but it was obvious that most of the prior breakups with the individual who had led the CE efforts were messy and trust needed to be earned over time.
Along with the “wait and see” attitude across campus was the fact that the ExtensionServiceandcolleges werelookingformaximumreturnonminimuminvestment. A little like trying to get the full flavor of a soda without the consequences.
We needed some time to build our infrastructure, the core part of a new team and generate some new signature projects.
Ideally, find someplace very safe to build your new organization. You’ll need to be able pilot some of your approaches and technology without getting overwhelmed by the larger university’s needs. You also need enough control over the effort so that those on the outside can’t direct the effort at the level of low-level details.

Try to improve the lives of your university partners (revenue & recognition) and the lives of your students. This rising water effect becomes more apparent as the success of a few programs spills over into programs that haven’t been as successful. Seek critical mass for marketing efforts, acceptance of your new unit, etc.
Rescuethewaywardprojectsandgetreadytoventureintochoppywaters. Once we moved out of the harbor, we began to find abandoned projects and disallusioned faculty who had ventured out onto the ocean without the proper map, crew and resources. Projects that needed to be rescued oftentimes involved a faculty member who had to be convinced to abandon his ship even though he or she knew the project wasn’t going to be successful.

The CE audience,businessmodel,staffing,marketingApproach—these were all different.Initially, we tried hard to repurpose credit-based online courses for noncredit students or drawing on marketing approaches used with degree students. These all failed. Thereisnosuchthingasanorangethatlookslikeanapple.

In a knowledge-worker economy, successful companies value their employees as their most important resource.
Early on, versatility is paramount. A programmer on my team brought me this fortune one day after lunch…In basketball terms, I was looking for individuals who could play 1-5 when needed even though it might stretch them from time to time.
Success starts as s state of mind. We needed to find smart, entrepreneurial individuals who were willing to regularly take risks. My responsibility was to find these kinds of individuals and look for ways to connect success with reward—have to be creative and persistent in a university setting to provide that kind of work environment.
In our case, this has meant sometimes putting in longer hours, moving out of our comfort zone and being willing to sacrifice some short-term comfort to help advance the long-term vision.
Iniitially small team with those who had been on the team during the down years – more like baseball at that point (a few players doing the work and the rest watching from a distance)
As we hired the right kind of people, football (heavy contac—people bumping up against each other with some role confusion. Much of the time, just trying to move the ball forward and getting to the next down. My role was more important at that point as I felt like I was calling and coordinating all of the plays.
After our first year as we added more staff and the amount of work increased, it felt like we were shifting to a team where nobody ever sat in the dugout and where every player on the team’s role was crucial. Perhaps a little more like a good basketball team– every player on the team matters – Not surprisingly, basketball teams value role the specialist, but also versatility. Playersadapt and learn a scheme based on their skill set and changing game conditions.
For coach JohnWooden, rated the greatest coach ever by ESPN, one key aspect of success was relationships. In other words, it’s often about the people, not the product and we’ve tried to keep that in mind as our work across the state grows and we can sometimes be tempted to jeopardize a professional relationship for some work-related benefit.
It’s about the people—an amazing team that can take on any challenge.
It’s hard to get your bearings sometimes on the open ocean and there are definitely some big waves.
too many important, but nonessential meetings, committees, tasks and projects. Stay focused on the target.
There are consequences to losing track of the road in front of you….
Look for ways to help team members feel valued: more responsibility (or less), help throttle change differentially for those who need it, be open and remind them your culture will continue to change as you add new people and your objectives adapt to the changing terrain around you.

When I first interviewed at OSU about 5 years ago, someone on the interview committee explained his reason for working in a university setting.
Oftentimes, the first step in starting a new unit at your university isn’t about teamwork, breaking the code or finding a safe harbor to build your program. For some of you, it might initially be about getting your head out in front of your ski tips and launching forward with reckless abandon.
All the while staying focused on your university’s mission and priorities so you land with both feet. Two years later with the riskiest part of the task behind us, we’ve built the framework for a program that is showing success. However, the university leadership will need to more clearly articulate how our efforts fit with the university’s mission and priorities.
