Embracing Changing Technology and New Technical Services Workflows in Migrati...NASIG
In 2015, Radford University’s McConnell Library migrated to OCLC’s WorldShare Management Services (WMS), relinquishing three legacy systems in the process. As a result, many of the Collection and Technical Services Department’s workflows changed considerably beginning months before the contract was signed. An extensive temporary departmental focus on data clean-up and training was required while maintaining core duties. New opportunities for collaboration and communication emerged. In light of developing new workflows, Core Competencies for Electronic Resources Librarians and Core Competencies for Print Serials Management were consulted in revising positions. This presentation focuses on the process, management, communication and outcomes involved in migrating to a new next-generation library management system.

OPPORTUNITIES IN HUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH
Educators must be transformed from those who impart knowledge to those who facilitate learning. Curricula must be transformed from mechanisms to deliver facts into mechanisms to promote and facilitate learning and thinking.
Experts assert that a Competency-based Approach to curriculum development can facilitate this transformation. Education and training integrated (a sound general education and broad-based initial training are essential bases for lifelong continuing learning).
TVET Role to meet the need of emerging industry:
Demand-driven approach
Learning for employability
Concept of continuing life-long learning
Self-learning and focus on the learner
A search for multi-skilling
Recognition based on competency and prior learning
Recognition of the need to focus both on formal and informal sectors
Training for wage and self-employment
Decentralized system requiring both strong national and decentralized institutions
Policy and delivery separate, market-driven
Participatory governance, recognition of multiple actors, social dialogue
21st Century Filipino Skilled Workforce Characteristic:
Technically competent
Innovative and creative
Knowledge-based, with higher order thinking skills
With foundational life skills
In pursuit of lifelong learning opportunities
Possessing desirable work attitudes and behavior
TVET Trends & Specific Skills Interventions :
KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY - Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are introduced to advocate critical thinking, analysis and problem solving to augment and enhance learning outcomes in TVET. They have also become common feature of standard-based education reforms.
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE - Possession of Generic Soft Skills has become a pre-requisite in the new work place. Skills including cognitive, interpersonal, attitudes, values work habits and enterprise, innovation and creativity are very much embedded in capacity building in TVET.
GLOBAL WARMING - Sustainable Development as key agenda of UNs and other development organizations education provisions, significantly calls upon reorienting TVET curriculum towards sustainability while maintaining the principles of 6Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Renew, Recycle, Repair and Rethink perspective.
POVERTY ALLEVIATION - Entrepreneurship, Modular Employable Skills and Informal Sector skills are largely considered to advance poverty reduction mechanisms and create gainful opportunities particularly in unorganized sectors.

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.

12. TECH EDUCATION IN INDIA-THE GLARING DISPARITY
• We find a glaring disparity between leading technological
institutions such as the IITs, State Technological universities
and other engineering colleges in the country.
• The prime differential is in respect of the very nature of
activity pursued in these institutions.
• The IITs are institutions of higher learning engaged in
teaching, research and extension activities to empower the
nation with world class human resources, cutting edge R&D
and Product Innovations.
• To a great extent the objective of High employability, Industry
Relevance of Research and creation of World Quality
academic and research ambiance has been met by the IITs
and a few other reputed Institutions and Tech Universities.
13. THE QUALITY SPREAD IS LIMITED
• Likewise, a few other premier institutions which
include BITS Pilani, Delhi Technological University, a
few State Technological Universities, Jadavpur
University, Thapar University, Anna University (Main
Campus), some of the the Regional Engineering
Colleges which are now NITs, and the IIITs also over
the years have emerged as globally recognised
institutions for providing quality output.
• Yet the quality spread is highly limited, given that
we have approximately 3500 tech institutions.
14. MAJOR CONCERNS
• Quality of Graduates and Post Graduates.
• Quality of Research Publications, Research
Integrity.
• Quality of Faculty, Integrity and Preparedness
for Integration into the Knowledge Revolution.
• Lack of Environment of Creativity and
Innovation.
• System heavily oriented towards local
textbooks driven examinations.
15. QUALITY OF INTAKE
• Decisions like allowing mere pass percentage
holders as being eligible for technical admission do
a much greater damage to the quality of intake in
engineering degree institutions.
• Question is what can be done now that we have
much larger number of seats compared to what
would qualify for admission if entry is restricted
to those having a minimum of 60% PCM and a
fair rank in the admission test?
• In our craze for more and more seats for admission
to engineering we have created a system where
even after going to the last rank in admission test
the seats remain vacant in very many states in the
16. LOWERING INTAKE QUALITY THE RIGHT WAY?
• This is the major issue which need to be debated and discussed
seriously if India’s technical education is to protect quality and
relevance of its output for today’s and tomorrow’s industries in
India and abroad.
• No institution or university of repute in any advanced country in
the world, the entry qualifications are so lowered to fill-up the
vacant seats.
• Country like America there are no more than 70,000 seats for
engineering UG Programs despite the fact that America
commands a lead position in respect of engineering and
technology education.
• The challenge in India is to create world quality at a much larger
scale than it exists in the advanced countries of US and Europe.
17. Indian Technical Education Paradigms
Pre-1950: Focus on engineering practice; design
according to codes and well-defined procedures; limited
use of mathematics; many faculty with industrial
experience and/or strong ties with industry
1950-1999: Focus on engineering sciences; fundamental
understanding of phenomena; analysis; majority of faculty
trained for teaching and some research
2000 onwards: Focus on teamwork, collaborative
working, integration in design and manufacturing,
continuous improvement; high scientific caliber and
analytical ability, adoptability and innovativeness

22. THE FIVE VITAL CONNECTS FOR TECHNICAL EDN IN 21ST
CENTURY
1.Connect to Knowledge Network
The first and most important connect is the
institutions connect to the vast body of knowledge.
This will ensure that the power of connectivity and
power of networking is well utilised by the students
and faculty in comprehending the state-of-art as
also to develop capabilities to work in today’s
knowledge intensive tech-savvy environment.
23. THE FIVE VITAL CONNECTS FOR TECHNICAL EDN IN 21ST
CENTURY
2. Connect to the Industries
This is absolutely necessary to focus on
relevance. Industry partnership in delivering
expert lectures, conducting technology
workshops, participation in joint guidance of
major projects and for internship to the students
forms the basics of the connect to the industries.
This connect to the industries should further
result into institutions and industries working
together on new challenges of product
innovation and technology development.
24. THE FIVE VITAL CONNECTS FOR TECHNICAL EDN IN 21ST
CENTURY
3. Connect to the Society
It is important that the institutions begin to
focus on the society in which they are
established so as to be partner in progress to
addressing the major problems such as
energy efficiency, energy conservation,
environmental degradation, water quality
management, creating trained manpower in
areas of emerging and new technologies and
as also partnering with local schools to
create the desired interest in science and
25. THE FIVE VITAL CONNECTS FOR TECHNICAL EDN IN 21ST
CENTURY
4. Connect to National and Global Professional
Societies:
This connect ensures the vital flow of information and
knowledge on latest happenings, enhances institutions
out reach to the vast body of research and knowledge
resources and strengthens the academia industry
interface.
Promotes Faculty Development and creates Peer
Pressure vital for Quality and Relevance.
Institution on its part can set up portals for curriculum
watch, knowledge watch, technology watch, new
product and innovations watch which can be developed
26. THE FIVE VITAL CONNECTS FOR TECHNICAL EDN IN 21ST
CENTURY
5. Connect to Local and Global Systems of Tech
Education:
This vital connect promotes collaboration, cooperation and
alliances with R&D organisations and universities at
national as well as global levels. The institution on its part
can take advantage of the peer group in these institutions /
universities for strengthening its internal peer review so as
to constantly assess and focus on quality and excellence.
In today’s knowledge age we must focus on collaboration
and co-operation to maximise the impact of efforts invested
in an activity.
Engineering and technology education and research cannot
flourish without effective linkages and mechanisms for
collaboration and cooperation between universities and
27. THE RIGHT TIME TO ACT IS NOW
It is the right time for India’s higher technical
education to strengthen the above five vital connects
to leap frog its quality, relevance and excellence.
The opportunity to do so is already knocking at our
door steps. It is, therefore, important that at this
juncture we innovate and adopt the best practices to
revitalize India’s technical education.

44. WHY IS YE SO IMPORTANT?
Youth is a period of transition and vulnerability
Vulnerability appears to increase with
globalization and increased competition,
everywhere
Long periods of unemployment have a lasting
impact on youth:
Individual level: self-esteem, respect, sense of
achievement
Societal: integration, cohesiveness, citizenship
45. THE PRESENT
88 million young people out of work
59 million kids (17-19) in hazardous work
Youth are 41 percent of all unemployed
Youth unemployment 2-3 times higher than
average unemployment
Source: ILO Key Indicators of the Labour Market, www.ilo.org/kilm. Figures for
2004.
46. THE BEST-EDUCATED GENERATION EVER!*
Yet… still large differences globally:
130 million children not in school
133 million youth are illiterate
Large gender differences
Large differences between groups of
countries
*(And healthiest ever too.)

48. EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITIES
IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
We can measure and compare the
educational “baggage” of young people:
Reading literacy of 15 year-olds
Math literacy of 15 year-olds
Science literacy of 15 year-olds
Math achievement of 8th graders
Science achievement of 8th graders
49. THE FUTURE
Over 1 billion young people in need of jobs
every 10 years = 100 million jobs a year
130 million kids not in school now -> what will
they be in 10 years?
(Importance of MDGs)
More unemployed young people in urban areas
with little hope for decent work
Globalization –> increased competition between
young people in more countries?
50. YEN’S 4 E’S TO ADDRESS YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT
1. Employability – investing in education
2. Equal opportunities – for men and women
3. Entrepreneurship – start and run
businesses
4. Employment creation – as part of
macroeconomic policy
51. THE FIRST E. EMPLOYABILITY
Definition: a key outcome of education
and training to instill skills, knowledge and
competencies of workers
Reality: high cost of investment, skills
mismatch
Invest in life skills, life-long learning, ICT,
entrepreneurship, SSEs in and out of
school
52. THE SECOND E. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG
MEN AND WOMEN
Before school: equal access and entry for boys
and girls
In school: “tracking” out of TVE, career
guidance, double burdens, cultural barriers,
gender stereotyping, harassment
After school: credit access, lower skills
In the job: discrimination in pay, training,
promotion
53. THE THIRD E. ENTREPRENEURSHIP
