This document discusses best practices for developing sustainable international school partnerships. It recommends starting small with planned visits, building trust from the outset, taking a whole-school approach, and having long-term fundraising plans. Challenges include language barriers, unequal commitment levels, and expectations being too high. A case study describes one school's partnership with a Greek school that grew to include curriculum-integrated projects, student exchanges, and found ways to sustain the partnership without external funding.
The document summarizes a presentation about learning outcomes and resources available to assist faculty. It discusses defining learning outcomes, how they help make student learning more measurable and centered. An example interactive student website for a science course is shown, which lists outcomes and lets students self-check their understanding. The presentation also covers resources for faculty like common syllabi, video examples, and secure websites to share materials.
This document discusses strategies for using webinars to engage K-12 teachers and students. It notes both pros and cons of webinars, such as reaching wider audiences at low cost but lacking personal connection. Effective strategies include allowing different participation methods, easy but engaging activities, and open discussions. Staff assistance during webinars is also important. The takeaway message is to try webinars and make the most of their live nature through audience engagement. Contact information is provided for education specialists at museums conducting webinars.
The document describes a entity that is clear but seldom seen, privy to and alert to all that is appreciated and perused. It whispers warnings, identifies with the exquisite, and is established as an influence of efficiency, being vigilant in virtually every event and as enraptured by escapades as the speaker.

The document discusses the electrocardiogram (ECG), which shows the electrical pattern generated by the heart as it activates from the atria to the ventricles. The ECG uses leads to provide a 3D view of the direction of depolarization. The conduction system of the heart includes the sinoatrial node, AV node, bundle of His, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers. The normal ECG shows the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave representing atrial depolarization, ventricular depolarization, and ventricular repolarization, respectively. The positions of the leads determine which part of the heart is visualized on the ECG.

Global Concept, Local Practices: State of the Research on OCW in Chineseguest1cc285
IMPORTANT: The audio to this presentation is available at http://reganmian.net/files/Chinese%20OCW%20talk%20Houston.mp3. I'm having some problems turning it into a slidecast, but I will try again.
Presentation given at OCWC/Connexions conference at Rice University, February 2009.
Abstract:
Since the MIT OCW program was started in 2002, the OCW movement and idea have spread to many different countries and linguistic contexts. Wonderful innovation, production and research is happening in different countries, and often published in different languages. For the OCW and OER movements to progress, it is imperative that we be able to learn from each other, and bridge these linguistic barriers.
China has been one of the most aggressive adopters of the OCW idea. Not only is China Open Resources for Education (CORE) coordinating efforts to translate MIT OCW into Chinese, but the Chinese Ministry of Education has since 2003 been operating a national OCW program called China Quality OpenCourseWare (精品课程). Chinese universities submit proposals, and can receive between $7,300 and $14,600 per course that is made freely available online. By 2007, there were already over 1,100 courses available online, many of these with extensive resources, and video recordings.
In addition to this large-scale production OCW, the Chinese scholarly community has also been prolific in researching and publishing about the program. The China Academic Journals database, which provides the full text of over 7,000 Chinese scholarly articles, lists 2,137 articles with the term 精品课程 (China Quality OCW), of which 421 were published in 2008. In numbers, this is roughly equivalent to all the scholarly publication that mention OCW in English and other Latin languages in total - however, the story becomes even more impressive when initial sampling shows that most of the Chinese articles listed mention OCW in their title, and have OCW as their main topic, whereas many of the English language publications are writing about broader issues, and only refer to OCW in passing.
I am currently conducting a research project on this wealth of literature. Initially I will try to provide a broad grouping of the Chinese articles on OCW, provide statistics on number of articles in each group (for example: articles that describe the process of producing individual OCW courses, articles that present surveys on student usage, etc), and in what kind of journals these articles appear. My ultimate objective is not only to gain a good understanding of the state of research around the Chinese Quality OCW program, but also identify specific journal articles that provide theoretical models, methodological approaches or accounts of experiences that are very relevant and useful to the North-American research on OER and OCW.
In my presentation, I will give a brief overview of the history and current state of China Quality OpenCourseWare, how it is funded, produced, and used, and also how it interacts with the Chinese translations of for example MIT OCW. I will give an overview over the “state of research”, both in terms of poignant research questions, methodologies and also relevant findings, from the Chinese context. I will also argue for a more integrated research roadmap for OCWs in North America, that actively engages with researchers and the literature from around the world.

This document discusses using postgraduate students to support the sustainability of open educational resources (OER). It argues that students have the time and skills needed to adapt existing materials through tasks like copyright clearance and curation, but may lack the subject knowledge for generating new content. A case study found students effectively adapted materials under lecturer guidance. The document concludes that students are best used as "capacitators" or helping hands in the OER process rather than solely seeking materials, and could also contribute pedagogically if involved in early design. Overall, OER requires more time than closed materials, so sustainability efforts need to acknowledge this cost.
1) The document outlines the direction and priorities for learning and teaching at the University of Northampton, as presented by Prof Alejandro Armellini.
2) Key priorities include providing high quality online and blended learning programs, professional development for faculty through the C@N-DO program, and promoting openness through the Open Northampton initiative.
3) Principles that will guide these priorities are designing learning that is low-cost but high-value, sustainable by reusing content, and forward-looking by incorporating techniques like rapid feedback. The presentation inspires attendees to consider how their own teaching can reflect these changes at the university.

Slideset to accompany the 2013 CAS/CADE conference presentationby Daniel Buzzo at the Computer Arts Society, Computers in Art and Design Education conference Bristol 2013.
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the University of Exeter's efforts to promote their use. It notes that OER should be seen as part of scholarly work and integrated into curriculum design. Exeter launched projects to explore OER issues and release course materials as OER. It recommends a two-stage approach of creating some high-quality OER and developing OER versions of programs, and embedding OER awareness into staff development. Challenges include copyright, quality assurance, and incentivizing staff contribution and use of OER.
This document provides information about an event called the "Swap Shop" being held at the University of Chichester to showcase examples of employer engagement enhancing learning and teaching.

Also discusses academics perceptions of openess and sharing and offers a TEL professional development framework and an open content literacy framework for review.
The document describes the Digital Scholarship Training Programme at the British Library. It aims to engage staff in digital research by offering 15 one-day courses covering topics such as social media, metadata, text encoding, and data visualization. The programme was designed based on a literature review and expert consultations. It has principles of delivering practical skills from a library perspective and highlighting the library's digital work. Initial feedback shows the courses successfully introduced staff to digital research concepts and tools.
This document summarizes an event showcasing a Reward and Recognition (R&R) scheme for teachers at Ulster University. The R&R scheme aims to reward excellent teaching and support staff development. It provides funding for projects, workshops, and collaboration. Survey results found that participants valued networking, sharing ideas, learning new skills, and gaining insight into improving teaching. The event highlighted the benefits of the R&R scheme in enhancing teaching quality and the student experience.
The document discusses rapid e-learning tools and techniques. It outlines some of the benefits of rapid e-learning such as lower costs, reduced development time, and increased ability to respond quickly to emerging needs. It then discusses some misconceptions about rapid e-learning and outlines four techniques for rapid e-learning: using prototypes to change the development process, employing small multi-skilled teams, leveraging templates and patterns for reusability, and using new web tools to keep content current. Real-world examples are provided that demonstrate how rapid e-learning can deliver cost-effective and timely solutions.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
Andreas Schleicher presents PISA 2022 Volume III - Creative Thinking - 18 Jun...EduSkills OECD
Andreas Schleicher, Director of Education and Skills at the OECD presents at the launch of PISA 2022 Volume III - Creative Minds, Creative Schools on 18 June 2024.
In the next few minutes I’m going to talk to you about the Digital Preservation Training Programme, or DPTP. I’ll begin with some reflective observations on where we came from and what led to the DPTP being what it is today, say a little about the present situation, and then speculate on future directions and concerns for our training programme, and for education and training in the world of digital preservation in general. Hopefully the latter will stimulate some discussion in the panel session that will follow. As you’ll see, our work built extensively on that of Nancy McGovern and Anne Kenney and their colleagues at Cornell. Nancy has already given an excellent overview of their work so I won’t dwell on it in detail, except to acknowledge again our indebtedness to them for their willingness to share openly with us.
