This is a unique technology solution for custom lesson planning for any curriculum, subject and board. Lessons are made as desired specifically by the teachers to suit the class and learners. Includes assessment and curriculum management modules with reports for School heads.
School management can create their own standard of curriculum focused on desired learning outcomes and integrate all the best practices from teachers and other sources. Thus making it a truly Dynamic academic process management system for long term impact on the school's academic system.

What does good course design look like to you - Alex Wu, BlackboardBlackboard APAC
Course design is undoubtedly a critical element of any online or blended learning environment. As academics and instructional designers, we often associate course design with teaching and learning outcomes that are course- and program-specific and are aligned specifically to graduate attributes or goals. In this session, we will instead take a deconstructive approach to analyse each of the main tool groups within Blackboard Learn and Collaborate, and showcase some unique tool deployment use-cases from clients around the globe. We will also touch on using the same tools in research and grant management to discuss how both teaching and research departments could cross benefit from using the same platform within an institution.

OTC 2017: From OER Adoption to OER DegreesUna Daly
From OER Adoption to OER Degree Pathways: Why, How, and What’s Next?
A panel of California Community College leaders will share their journey from early OER adoption to development of OER degree pathways. Awareness building, faculty and student engagement, and administrative support have been key success factors in OER adoption, but recent support from the state legislature and the Chancellor’s Office is enabling full Zero-textbook-cost degree pathways to maximize student savings.
Hear from the faculty and administrators leading these efforts: how they got started and successful strategies to grow and sustain OER usage at their campus to expand access and empower faculty to improve student engagement and success.

C. G. O’Kelly Library’s OK Scholar’s Institute
Mae Rodney, Winston Salem State University
C. G. O’Kelly Library has a rich collection of print and electronic resources but traditional library output measures – questions asked, use of databases – declined despite an increase in instruction sessions offered.
The Internet gave patrons immediate fulfillment of their search requests; cutting and pasting information was effortless; so the Internet became students’ primary research tool. Informal assessments of students’ written papers confirmed the habit of cutting and pasting and not citing sources. Faculty members complained more about the quality of students’ final papers. To counter students’ reliance on the Internet, many faculty members’ assignments directed students not to use any Internet resources. This did not correct the problem! Faculty members remained unhappy with the quality of students’ papers.
Librarians wanted to teach students information literacy skills to help them locate, evaluate and use information. To achieve that goal, faculty members required more information about library services and collections along with techniques to develop quality library assignments.
A request was made for Title III funds to sponsor annual workshops for five years to help faculty members develop techniques to create assignments that require students to locate, use and evaluate library resources to complete their written assignments.
The O’K Fellows experience is positively impacting library services – the contact between students and librarians has increased by over 100 percent and the number of electronic searches completed rose by 300 percent during 2007-08. Instruction sessions offered in Fall 2008 already equal the total number for the entire 2006-07 academic year. Faculty members are recommending the institute to other faculty members.

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.

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.
