2012: The Year Social Media Changes, CompletelyJoe Robb
This presentation, 2012: The Year Social Media Changes, Completely, means to give a high level perspective on the landscape of Social Media in 2012, and how this landscape is likely to change. The topics include the fragmentation of Social Media, Twitter and Apple OS integration, LinkedIn positioning itself as the go to platform for job seekers and recruiters, Facebook's upcoming IPO and new ad offerings, Google's integration with itself - particularly through Google Apps, Android smartphones, Google Plus and preexisiting Google AdWords advertising strategies. And because I felt compelled to, I even addressed Pinterest & what influence this platform will have on visual imagery in web design.

In the era of globalization, health knowledge and technology have become advanced.
Globalization triggers the unstoppable competition between hospitals to upgrade their
standards of hospitalization, it results the competition between hospitals to be tight.
Hospitals compete against one another to serve the best health services for costumers.
Patients satisfaction has become major priority. Each hospital is required to be supported by
professionals who run in the specialized of hospital services.
The majority personnel of hospital are nurses which intensely communicate and contact with
the patients. Thus, the quality and competency of nurses must be in concerned for the
hospital management.

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

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Before we dive in let me tell you a little bit about myself and where I work.Hi, I’m Laura. Although my title is web designer, like all web professionals in higher ed, I wear many hats. One a day-to-day basis you can find me working on one of Kogod’s websites, or occasionally serving as a graphic designer, one stop print shop, photographer, social media guru… the list goes on.
This is where I work – the Kogod School of Business at American University in Washington, DC. I’ve been at AU and Kogod for a little over two years and work on a marketing and communications team of six talented women.
As far as business schools go, we are probably smaller of the road when it comes to size, so this fosters a close, tight-knit community. It’s one of the unique and defining aspects of Kogod.
So, what we’re going to talk about… I hope to provide a little background about the art collection, an explanation of how the project came about and how we executed our ideas, results since the launch, and some ideas for the future.
So about the collection --
Developed by the school’s benefactor, Robert Kogod, the collection contains more than 200 original prints of modern and contemporary art. (An original print is a work of art created by hand by an artist and printed either by the artist or by a professional printer who works with him.)
Acquisition of the works began in 2001, many of which were installed in 2011 after the opening of the new section of the building.
The works are located throughout the three floors of the Kogod School of Business – in hallways, student lounges, and classrooms.
The collection includes many of the most significant post-World War II art movements such as Pop Art and Minimalism. But there really is something for everyone in the collection.
I think the most surprising thing is that this is something that the Kogod community is very proud of. Students and visitors frequentlyask our front desk attendantsabout the collection and how they can obtain more information about the works. It is a special and irreplaceable part of Kogod.
We have all this great content throughout the building, so… How do we make the collection more accessible? In what ways can add value to the Kogod experience? Ultimately, what do we want to achieve?
After some brainstorming, we decided on a set of goals surrounding the art collection and the great content it inherently provided. In 2010, one of our interns began working on a website which featured the entire art collection. This task was a huge undertaking, much larger than originally anticipated, so it was never finished. This was the first step in the process. Second, we wanted to provide something new and fun for our audiences to take part in. We wanted to add value to this unique aspect of the business school. And finally, we wanted to offer more information about the works than what was available at the time.
There really isn’t much information here. Just a print on a wall. I know many of the students are curious about the art (some even have nicknames), so it made sense to open up and share.
Our resources (human and time) and budget were very limited, so we needed… Something that I could do on my own without researching and bidding vendors, wouldn’t become a time suck, and could be used across multiple platforms. At the time, I wasn’t sure what this platform looked like, so I started looking into what other institutions (museums) were doing.
I gained inspiration from the Museums and the Web Conference,“Best of the Web” nominations (mobile category), specifically an audio tour created by National Museums Scotland.
After extensive research, we decided on the following project: a virtual tour of featured works.
Like most projects in higher ed, they need to be completed in a short period of time. Started project during August 2012. Our charge was to launch the finished productduring AU’s reunion weekend.All-American Weekend is a shiny, happy event where students, alums, and parents visit campus (in lieu of homecoming).
So with my goals and timeframe in hand, we started planning and building our website and self-guided tour.
We took some time to map out our content and break down the tasks and information that our audiences could choose from. First, starting with the self-guided tour, and then adding additional information about the collection, and art treasures which I’ll talk about in a bit.
jQuery was our framework of choice. It was very easy to implement and customize right off the bat.
With the website framework in place, we created two points of access for our audiences to take the tour and view the information.
#1 is through the homepage, m.kogodart.com.
We installed two plaques in prominent lobbies in the Kogod building dedicated to the art collection. Under which we placed two brochures detailing the new accessible information. The one of the right is a complete listing of the collection and on the left is the printed tour guide.
This brochure contains basic instructions and information about the collection, QR codes, etc.
Users are able to access the m. site by scanning the QR code or typing in the URL into their smartphones.
Once the users hit the homepage they have the option to take the self-guided tour and view the works by floor (depending on where they are located in the building).
Once they select an option, the users are able to view which works are on that specific floor.
The second point of access is through a set of QR codes. We didn’t want to compromise the integrity of the art, so we decided to use QR codes.
Each featured art work on the tour has a code placed next to it printed on clear vinyl stickers.
These codes are located throughout the business school, and are indicated on the map of the tour guide. Labels on classrooms and student lounges were added to help orient users in Kogod.
Once the users scan the code, they are directed to an individual art page. This is where the meat of the information lives and where we added the most value to the collection.
These pages provide a quick snapshot of the artist and the work on demand. Using both the printed tour guide and the website, the users are able to get a deeper view into the collection.
In order to make the tour more fun, we decided to provide some incentive to complete the tour and reward the most dedicated users.
On each individual art page, there are code words related to the piece. So, if the users learn more about the collection by visiting and reading the individual art pages, they are able to obtain more code words. The code words are redeemed at the front desk in the Kogod lobby.These rewards included a custom printed book of the collection or notecards.
We never made any formal announcements on the Kogod website or on social media, so traffic to the website has been very modest.
Other includes referral and organic search traffic. ~350 visits total, 188 unique visitors. QR codes the chosen point of entry.
