This study reports upon students’ strategies for inquiry and resource use in a program of game design learning. The study highlights the need for understanding the relationship between project-based learning creative tasks involving student design of an artifact, and, the inquiry strategies that can best support these tasks. Findings offer pragmatic insights on design of information literacy scaffolds, and theory on guided discovery-based learning.
Building a Collaborative Knowledge Base in Diigo: How Links, Tags, and Comme...Vanessa Dennen
Abstract: This case study examines the use of Diigo, a social bookmarking tool, in an online class. The purpose of using Diigo in this class was to create a collaborative knowledge base on the course topic around which students might interact. Students contributed relevant links to the Diigo group, although tagging appeared somewhat haphazard. Toward the end of the course, a tagging scheme started to emerge. The brief course duration likely limited the benefits of Diigo to this group, at least where tagging was concerned. Not all students contributed in the same way; some contributed more links whereas others were heavy commenters. Link contributors did not dominate the comment-based interactions. Instead, comments were based on mutual interests, with students letting each other know when and how their contributions were valued.

A review of the literature identified articles on the importance of critical thinking in marketing classes (Celuch & Slama, 2000), but there was no literature of the online marketing classes.
If critical thinking is the ultimate goal of adult education, as the literature suggests, how can educators teach the skill in an online marketing class in order to raise student comprehension?
Literature in digital environments: Changes and emerging trends in Australian...Judy O'Connell
Igniting a passion for reading and research is core business for school libraries, inevitably placing the library at the centre of the 21st century reading and learning experience. It is in this context that digital literature creates some challenging questions for teachers and librarians in schools, while the emergence of digital technology and/or device options also offers a great many opportunities. Collection development in school libraries encompasses an understanding of the need to contextualise these e-literature needs within the learning and teaching experiences in the school. The Australian Library and Information Association’s 2013 statement Future of collections 50:50 predicted that library print and ebook collections in libraries would establish a 50:50 equilibrium by 2020 and that this balance would be maintained for the foreseeable future. This statement from the Australian professional body raised the need to know more about e-collections in school libraries. For teacher librarians in Australian schools, the nature of online collections, and the integration of ebooks into the evolving reading culture is influenced by the range and diversity of texts, interfaces, devices, and experiences available to complement existing print and media collections or services. Management and budget constraints also influence e-collections. By undertaking a review of the literature, a discussion of the education context, and a critical analysis of the trends evidenced by national survey data, this paper presents an overview of the changes and emerging trends in digital literature and ebook collections in school library services in Australia today.

ABSTRACT
The paper presents the findings of a HEA-CLL funded project focussing on encouraging students to cocreate
and use OERs via interdisciplinary study guides on research methods. Students were asked to
review the tutor-produced study guides developed on a Google website/wiki and to add resources to the
study guide via a comments feature. In focus interviews, they were asked if they were willing to take
ownership of the guides. Students’ views on student-led guides indicated an interest in this pedagogical
approach, but had issues around trusting their peers’ ability to make reliable judgements. These findings
will be explored in our paper.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.
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

16. Research Questions, Methods
(Reynolds, Hmelo-Silver, Sorenson, & Van Ness, 2013; Reynolds, Baik, Li, 2013).
o “What collaborative information behaviors do middle school
students evidence when given the chance to self-organize
their game design task-driven teamwork?”
o Step 1: Categorical analysis
o Data sources:
o video recorded face-to-face and virtual interviews with
student teams, transcripts, coded in 2 waves in
Dedoose
o Step 2: Case study analysis of 4 distinctly dissimilar
teams (Firestone, 1993)
o Data sources:
o wiki log files, wiki history, teacher quarterly progress
reports, game design evaluation results, and individual
student blogs
17. Collaborative Information Behavior Research Findings in
Globaloria
(Reynolds, Hmelo-Silver, Sorenson, & Van Ness, 2013; Reynolds, Baik, Li, 2013).
o Primary TASK categories that students engaged in during
class were identified as:
o game design
o game domain narrative development
o game programming
o Students engaged in resource uses on the wiki to support
these primary tasks
o Collaboration & information seeking are meta processes
supporting the primary game design task
18. Collaborative Information Behavior Research Findings in
Globaloria
(Reynolds, Hmelo-Silver, Sorenson, & Van Ness, 2013; Reynolds, Baik, Li, 2013).

“I went to Google and I saw the oil spill, was thinking why did it
happen…I was thinking from my teacher, I need more like what
happened with an oilspill at Yellowstone River, but went to
YouTube, and I put in oil spill in Yellowstone…I ended up
picking the Gulf Mexico instead of the Yellow Stone cause the
Gulf has more information…I was doing separate search to
think „what is better, Yellow Stone oil spill, or the Gulf coast?‟”

how we know what we are doing wrong.”
23. Knowledge Building as Conditions to
Cultivate in Instructional Design
Reynolds & Hmelo-Silver. (2013). Areas of Convergence in Constructionism,
Knowledge Building and Guided Discovery Based Learning in the Globaloria
Game Design Initiative. Presented at AERA 2013 in San Francisco, CA.
Scardamalia & Bereiter (2006) describe knowledge building conditions in brief :
Knowledge advancement as a community rather than individual
achievement
Knowledge advancement as idea improvement rather than as progress
toward true or warranted belief
Knowledge of in contrast to knowledge about
Discourse as collaborative problem solving rather than as argumentation
Constructive use of authoritative information
Understanding as emergent
Knowledge building is afforded, but not guaranteed
24. How does Globaloria structure and scaffold students?
(Reynolds, Hmelo-Silver, Sorenson, & Van Ness, 2013; Reynolds, Baik, Li, 2013)
o Little scaffolding for effective discovery-based engagement
with the LMS (e.g., minimal information literacy instruction;
no inquiry circles (Kuhlthau, Maniotes, Caspari, 2007)
• This result may generalize to other present and future LMS
implementations with middle school and high school
students
• Signals strong need for information literacy skills instruction
• Signals strong and growing role for school librarians to
develop and implement scaffolds for more effective
“collaborative information literacy”
25. How does Globaloria structure and scaffold students?
• Guided Inquiry model of Kuhlthau is informing ongoing
modifications for information literacy; collaboration (e.g.,
more explicit information literacy instruction; transportation to
transformation in SYNTHESIS AND USE; reciprocal
teaching / inquiry circles)
• Quantitative research is investigating role of instructional
design factors and individual differences among students as
contributors to outcomes (for instance intrinsic motivation)
• The more intrinsically motivated, the more successful
• Inquiry process may actually move the needle on some
students’ motivation – opportunity for inquiry creates
awareness of personal agency
26. Scaffolding Information Literacy and Collaboration
• Leverage agency inherent to inquiry; cultivate agency in
students
• But don’t lose the learning and knowledge production needed
during the inquiry process
• Creating information literacy modifications in Globaloria
• Help students track sources, find and use information more
effectively
• Delicious; NoodleTools; others?
• Ross Todd: “Transportation vs. Transformation”
• Internet reading comprehension literature; Donald Leu
• School librarians can help; professional development of SLs
as information literacy experts and curriculum developers =>
Common Core emphasis on non-fiction information texts;
digital environments
