This document discusses student engagement in higher education. It outlines that student belonging, supportive relationships between staff and students, and relevant experiences are important for engagement. Engaged students have better outcomes individually and for society. Student surveys, outcomes data, and league tables are used to measure engagement and inform course improvements to enhance outcomes. Emerging technologies may help engagement, but their use requires care to avoid problematic data collection and ensure student privacy. The future of education is uncertain as jobs and needed skills rapidly change, requiring flexible, technology-enabled learning to prepare students.

Creating a coherent performance indicator framework for the higher education ...Sonia Whiteley
The Australian Government recently made an ongoing commitment to a suite of innovative, integrated surveys that collect data about students’ experiences of their higher education from the commencement of their qualification to employment. The Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) survey program includes the Students Experience Survey, the Graduate Outcomes Survey, and the Employer Satisfaction Survey. All higher education institutions offering undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Australia, which includes 40 universities and around 105 private providers, are in-scope for the collection.
The QILT measures will work together to provide a coherent insight into student engagement, the student experience and post-study outcomes. The challenges of meeting this broad range of requirements to deliver an indicator framework that provides timely evidence for institutions to improve the experiences of current and future students and to position themselves in the higher education landscape will be discussed.

OECD Review on Evaluation and Assessment Frameworks for Improving School Outc...EduSkills OECD
Claire Shewbridge
Analyst, Education and Training Policy Division, Directorate for Education. OECD
The OECD Review on Evaluation and Assessment Frameworks for Improving School Outcomes, launched in late 2009, is designed to respond to the strong interest in evaluation and assessment issues evident at national and international levels. It will provide a description of design, implementation and use of assessment and evaluation procedures in countries; analyse strengths and weaknesses of different approaches; and provide recommendations for improvement.
The Review looks at the various components of assessment and evaluation frameworks that countries use with the objective of improving student outcomes. These include student assessment, teacher appraisal, school evaluation and system evaluation. The analysis focuses on primary and secondary levels of education.

Online Tests: Can we do them better? | Bopelo Boitshwarelo, Jyoti Vemuri, Han...Blackboard APAC
The use of e-assessment methods to facilitate and evaluate learning is a growing trend in the higher education space. In particular, the use of online tests has increased rapidly concomitant with the expansion of digital technologies for teaching purposes. Online tests, in the context of this presentation, refer to computer assisted-assessment where the deployment and marking is automated and typically involves objective types of questions such as multiple choice questions (MCQs), true/false questions, matching questions as well as predetermined short answer questions. The growing sophistication of Learning Management Systems(LMSs) such as Blackboard provide an increasing capacity for different types of online tests to be deployed, administered and marked efficiently. Additionally, most major textbook publishers and authors in certain disciplines provide online question banks that can easily integrate with LMSs meaning less time is spent on creating tests from scratch.
With these trends in mind, questions arise around the efficacy of online tests in higher education.
In this presentation we will share findings of a study investigating practices around online tests. First, we will explore what the literature reveals about the role of online tests in higher education and particularly how online tests are used to lead to student learning through formative assessment processes and feedback practices. Secondly, the presentation will review the practices around online tests at the Charles Darwin University Business School and discuss emerging issues. Thirdly, the presentation will distil some preliminary guiding principles around designing, developing, administering and reviewing online tests for effective learning and assessment. Finally, ongoing and further research by the team on the topic of online tests will be highlighted.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

4. Individual Engagement
• Student Retention and Success Project
• 1. At the heart of student retention and success is a strong sense of
belonging in HE for students. This is most effectively nurtured
through mainstream activities that all students participate in.
• 2. The academic sphere is the most important site for nurturing
belonging.
• 3. Specific interventions cannot be recommended over and above
each other. Rather the institution, department and programme
should all nurture a culture of belonging.
• 4. Student belonging is an outcome of: supportive peer relations;
meaningful interaction between staff and students; developing
knowledge, confidence and identity as successful HE learners; and
an HE experience which is relevant to interests and future goals.

34. How will we engage students in learning when:
Half of what they learn in first year is out of date by the time they graduate?
They will have maybe 10 different jobs in their career?
The jobs they will do don’t even exist yet using technology that isn't invented yet,
to solve problems we don’t know are problems yet.
100 Billion queries a month on Google – who did we ask before?
90% of the data in the world was created in the last 2 years
