This document outlines Larry Baker's presentation on using challenge-based learning (CBL) to implement group projects and assessments. CBL involves assigning students multimedia group challenges to solve real-world problems. It encourages collaboration, creativity, and the development of skills like critical thinking. Baker discusses strategies for structuring CBL projects, including forming groups, setting milestones, using shared documents, and collecting student reflections. Reflections prompt students to evaluate their individual contributions, the group's process, and what they've learned, and can be used as part of the assessment. Baker suggests presentations by groups and feedback from outside experts as additional forms of authentic assessment for CBL.
Pete Walen is not going to tell you how to be a good test manager. Instead, Pete shares ideas on becoming a true leader. While some managers certainly are leaders, testers of all varieties and experience levels can become leaders. Developing technical leadership skills, regardless of job title, involves overcoming our own uncertainties, self-doubts, and perceptions. Learning to foster relationships while perfecting our craft is a challenge for everyone, particularly when others look to us to be an expert—even when we don’t feel like one. Pete presents choices, options, and paths available to software professionals, including opportunities for self-education, networking, and other professional and technical development. He describes how he learned to apply these lessons in day-to-day work situations, building skills for himself and his co-workers. In this interactive discussion, Pete shares his mistakes and successes, what he learned from each, and what opportunities there are for you to grow as a leader in your own right.
This is a presentation for new principals in the Chula Vista Elementary School District on the topic of communication. It touches on vision, leading change, decision making, meetings, and presentations.

Pursuing the Elusive High Performance TeamBen Thorp
We all remember being on "that team." The team that banded together through tight deadlines to deliver great products. The team that was a safe place for professional conflict. The team that went to lunch and happy hour together. The team that felt more like a family. Now, 20 years after Scrum was first introduced, why are these teams still so scarce? Can we intentionally reproduce those outcomes? This presentation will fill some of the (intentional) gaps left in Scrum by its creators by exploring the leading research on high performance teams.

Jak być zarąbistym developerem w oczach szefa i ... klientaWojciech Seliga
(Polish language / język polski)
Slajdy z mojej prezentacji z konferencji Confitura 2018 w Warszawie.
Pamiętacie może wystąpenia z Confitury sprzed paru lat - "How to be awesome at a Java developer job interview" czy "Java Developer Career Unplugged", które budziły spore emocje i które po latach nadal są komentowane. Lata lecą nieubłaganie. Z developera stałem się w międzyczasie szefem 150-osobowej firmy. Nabrałem nowych doświadczeń, nowego spojrzenia, muszę polegać jeszcze bardziej na ludziach niż kiedyś. I coraz bardziej polegam nie tylko na ich umiejętnościach programistycznych, ale na czymś znacznie istotniejszym. Jeśli chcecie zmierzyć się ze szczerą opinią dotyczącą tego jakie cechy charakteru, umiejętności, zachowania software developerów pozwalają według osób zarządzających przetrwać i rozwijać się ich firmom na wyjątkowo konkurencyjnym rynku globalnym IT w XXI wieku, to jest to prezentacja dla Was. "People are our biggest assets". W praktyce różni ludzie przedstawiają różną wartość dla firm. Pewnie zależy Wam na jej maksymalizacji. Nam - też :)

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

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
