1) Today's lecture covered social media and its use in education, discussing how it can be used as both a distractor from learning or as a learning tool to facilitate collaboration.
2) Research shows that multitasking with technology like social media during class is correlated with lower academic performance.
3) Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has historical ties to other fields and aims to support collaboration and cooperation between learners, with interaction seen as a key element of learning.

Digital Humanities at Small Liberal Arts Colleges
Digital methodologies and new media are changing the landscape of research and teaching in the humanities. Scholars can now computationally analyze entire corpora of texts or preserve and share materials through digital archives. Students can engage in authentic applied research linking literary texts to place or study Shakespeare in a virtual Globe Theater. Such developments collectively fall under the name “digital humanities,” which includes the humanities and humanistic social sciences and has largely been characterized by computing-intensive, collaborative, interdisciplinary projects at research institutions. Faculty, staff and students at small liberal arts colleges, however, are making significant contributions to the digital humanities, especially by engaging undergraduates both in and out of the classroom. Rebecca Frost Davis, Program Officer for the Humanities at the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE), will introduce the digital humanities landscape and share examples from small liberal arts colleges.
In this paper we suggest a design research method for eliciting
affordances and new meanings for Smart Objects in the Internet of Things Era.
After an introduction to the topic and the description of some open issues, we
propose to adopt a Critical Design approach, where the role of Ambiguity is
twofold: on the one hand, it is the objective of the observation for defining a set
of ambiguous objects or affordances; on the other hand, it is the result of a
design conceptualization of smart objects aiming at provoking cognitive
dissonance and finalized to understand people adaptation processes and
behaviors.

New Visual Social Media for the Higher Education ClassroomRochell McWhorter
Authors: Julie A. Delello and Rochell R McWhorter
This chapter examines how next-generation visual social platforms motivate students to capture authentic evidence of their learning and achievements, publish digital artifacts, and share content across visual social media. Educators are facing the immediate task of integrating social media into their current practice to meet the needs of the twenty-first century learner. Using a case study, this chapter highlights through empirical work how nascent visual social media platforms such as Pinterest are being utilized in the college classroom and concludes with projections on ways visual networking platforms will transform traditional models of education.
UGS 302 Syllabus: The role of technology among youth in society and education...Joan E. Hughes, Ph.D.
Fall 2013. A semester-long, writing-intensive course that leads first-year students in considering inventions and innovations (technological and historical) that have changed society and education. We weave from exploring current trends to historical shifts to again current digital innovations with critique from a range of perspectives (educational, political, advertising/marketing, technical, psychological). This course includes university-level requirements including: visiting remarkable places at UT (Harry Ransom Center, TACC VisLab), attending university lectures, engaging in research, writing and oral presenting, and being taught by a Ph.D. tenured faculty member.

Goldsmiths, Learning, Teaching and Web 2.0miravogel
With the arrival of the social, participative web often referred to as Web 2.0 came talk of Learning 2.0. Learning 2.0 can be summarised as collaborative, project-based, self-directed, boundary-busting and above all connected. We discuss some national horizon scanning, and the ways Goldsmiths learners and teachers are using what the Web has to offer. We then discuss some of the challenges this poses for learners and academic teachers across higher education institutions, including issues of authority, credit, assessment, facilitation, intellectual property, data protection and support.

Metaliteracy and the Participatory Role of Learners in Today’s Social Informa...Tom Mackey
Participating effectively in today’s social information environment requires abilities and dispositions that encompass and extend beyond those required to engage in academic research. The open, participatory nature of social media requires learners to take on diverse roles, from critical consumer to informed producer and responsible sharer of information in dynamic and sometimes uncertain spaces. This collaborative and connected world also provides opportunities for learners to expand their roles as communicator, researcher, and teacher. In order to connect fully and successfully in this sphere, our students must understand and accept their potential contributions and responsibilities when consuming and creating information in an environment that is similarly fractured and divisive. They need to adapt to ever-changing technologies and must be prepared to ask critical questions about the information they encounter from formal and informal sources. General Education, in particular, is key to how we prepare students for this ever-shifting and dynamic socially connected world.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

way they will perform their job in the
future, as coachmen needed to when
cars and airplanes entered the scene.
They had to make the transition from
handling two reins to a dashboard full
of instruments. The goal remained the
same, getting people from A to B, but
the way to achieve it changed radically.”
