Young and Wired: How today's young tech elite will influence the libraries of...Edwin Mijnsbergen
Libraries are the living, breathing internet that existed long before the digital network that we know today. They are the connected nodes of information and community exchange that we have relied on to communicate, collaborate, share resources and preserve knowledge in our societies for centuries.
But there are concerns about the future of physical libraries, given that so many of us have easy access to virtual libraries of information on our computers at home. Recent Pew Internet Project research examines technology use by teenagers and suggests how the behavior and expectations of young internet users might shape the libraries of the future.

Moving from a Traditional Library to a Contemporary iCentre #slanza2015Kathryn Schravemade
Presentation for #slanza2015 with @helenstower1
The iCentre concept is to reimagine and move the traditional role of the school library
as a provider of information and literature to an iCentre which connects learners with
the skills, tools and information necessary for work and success in the 21st century.
Our journey from library to iCentre does not involve a brand new building, it involves
transformed culture, services and spaces. This is very much a story of trial and error
and we don’t claim that we have found a model that will work for every school and
every library - what we do hope is that we can share ideas and something we have
done or experienced will help you on your journey. The story of our journey from a
traditional library to an iCentre is not complete. In fact, we hope it never will be, as
the essence of our journey centres around continuous transformation.
How will education libraries best serve their communities in 2015?
Why do we need to organise information more effectively? How do we incorporate the evolving semantic web environments? In a world of API and big data, libraries (and in particular school libraries) are faced with a significant ‘conceptual’ challenge. The new RDA cataloguing standard will substantively influence and then change information organization, focusing on users, access and interoperability. Search interfaces will be the key. We’re not dealing with records anymore. We are working with interrelated nodes of data. Are you prepared?
These slides don't really communicate much of the talk and may look suspiciously familiar to the 8 Competencies. The slides don't stand alone. This talk was videotaped and as soon as I have a URL I can add it. Please comment on the blog at http://australianoctober.blogspot.com as I don't come back here often enough!
Leadership in a connected age: Change, challenge and productive chaos!Judy O'Connell
We cannot hold back the forces of change. The 21st century leader recognises that without keeping an eye on the future we may be doomed to remaining a prisoner of the past. With this eye on the future, the agile leader welcomes innovation, embraces change and thrives on chaos. What skills are necessary to survive in the future? What do you need to do today? Trends in knowledge construction, participatory cultures and social networks can give us the blueprint to successful leadership in our connected age.

Toward an automated student feedback system for text based assignments - Pete...Blackboard APAC
As the use of blended learning environments and digital technologies become integrated into the higher education sector, rich technologies such as analytics have the ability to assist teaching staff identify students at risk, learning material that is not proving effective and learning site designs that aid and facilitate improved learning. More recently consideration has been given to automated essay scoring. Such systems can be used in a formative way, such as providing feedback on initial assignment drafts or summatively through the analysis of final assignment submissions. Further, providing students with quick feedback on written assignments opens the opportunity through formative feedback to improved learning outcomes.
This presentation details a current project developing a system to analyse text-based assignments. The project is being developed for broad application, but the findings focus on an undergraduate pilot subject: ‘Ideas that Shook the World’ (a compulsory first year Bachelor of Arts subject taught on 5 campuses to more than 1000 students by 15 staff). Preliminary results of a fist scan of assignments are presented and the issues raised in developing the system presented together with an outline of additional work planned for the project. It is believed the work will have wide application where text-based assignments are utilised for assessment.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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
