Mooc videos in blended learning practices laia alboLaia Albó
My presentation in Bett show 2016
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCSs) are playing an important role in university strategy discussions since they offer new learning opportunities and can change teaching practices. Despite the overall impact of these courses in the higher education system is still unknown, there is an emerging teaching practice that considers the use of MOOC content and activities as part of formal learning courses in face-to-face universities. These practices convey diverse types of hybrid methodological combinations. These emerging scenarios are worth exploring to understand the potential and challenges of the phenomena. To contribute to this understanding, in this talk I will present our research about the use of MOOC resources (basically videos) in blended learning practices in the higher education sector

Championing the Cause: Bridging State Policy and Practice in K-12 OER (Open E...Sara Frank Bristow
This document summarizes a presentation on K-12 open educational resource (OER) champions and their role in driving policy changes. It profiles the work of David Wiley in Utah and the Washington Open Course Library as examples. OER champions drive policy changes by implementing pilots to build evidence, documenting processes for others, convening stakeholders, and advocating for policies that support OER adoption. They champion issues of cost, quality and access that are universally important. Their work removing barriers and leading by example through school programs can help increase OER usage and further policy changes.

Swinburne Student Survey on Educational Technology Expectationsloch_b
1) A survey of 358 Swinburne University students found that while most students expected their university to make extensive use of educational technologies, many felt their expectations were not fully met.
2) The survey asked students about what technologies they used outside of class, what technologies they expected universities to use, and what was actually used in their courses.
3) There were gaps between what technologies students expected would be used versus what was actually used, such as tablet PCs, podcasts/screencasts, and interactive whiteboards. Many students commented that they expected more innovative technology use given the university's ranking and description as a "University of Technology."
Students will complete a survey about their use of technology for learning and communication. The lesson plan includes activities for students to reflect on how technology impacts their education and future careers. Activities include class discussions on digital footprints and using technology in schools, as well as group work to identify challenges of technology use and design their ideal schools. The goal is to prepare students to complete the Speak Up survey about technology in education.
Presented at SIGCSE 2018: https://sigcse2018.sigcse.org/
Software Product Line (SPL) engineering has emerged to provide the means to efficiently model, produce, and maintain multiple similar software variants, exploiting their common properties, and managing their variabilities (differences). With over two decades of existence, the community of SPL researchers and practitioners is thriving as can be attested by the extensive research output and the numerous successful industrial projects. Education has a key role to support the next generation of practitioners to build highly complex, variability-intensive systems. Yet, it is unclear how the concepts of variability and SPLs are taught, what are the possible missing gaps and difficulties faced, what are the benefits, or what is the material available. Also, it remains unclear whether scholars teach what is actually needed by industry. In this article we report on three initiatives we have conducted with scholars, educators, industry practitioners, and students to further understand the connection between SPLs and education, i.e., an online survey on teaching SPLs we performed with 35 scholars, another survey on learning SPLs we conducted with 25 students, as well as two workshops held at the International Software Product Line Conference in 2014 and 2015 with both researchers and industry practitioners participating. We build upon the two surveys and the workshops to derive recommendations for educators to continue improving the state of practice of teaching SPLs, aimed at both individual educators as well as the wider community.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Define: Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD)
• BYOD was originally the term which means permitting
workers to bring and use their own mobile devices at their
workplace.
• Some point out that BYOD is disappearing and being replaced with
other new solutions in business field. (Laird, 2014)
• In education settings, BYOD means students bring
personally owned devices to school and use them as
tools for learning.

10. FLEAT VI at Harvard Univ. (12/Aug/15)
Define: Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD)
• How can you say whether or not an education institution
is BYOD-ready?
• Does it have a certain set of policies or guidelines on how to use
personal computer devices for the faculty members and students?
• Harvard University does.
• Central Administration Desktop, Laptop and Mobile Management Policies and
Procedures
• Ritsumeikan University doesn’t.
• It does have the policies and guidelines on how to use the information
resources of the university, but it does not have those for personally brought
devices as of today.

Define: Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD)
• Reality of Japanese universities and BYOD
• In most institutions, BYOD is not officially approved or encouraged.
• Some studies report that Japan is behind the other
developed countries in ICT adoption in education,
including higher education. (Kyoto University, 2014.
OECD, 2014)
• In Japan, ICT is likely to be regarded as a tool for teachers to
manage students, rather than a tool for students to learn with.
