Blended English programmes for National Skills Qualification Framework

Kshema Jose

This document discusses using blended learning to develop digital literacy, English language, and workplace skills aligned with India's National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF). Blended learning utilizes both online and in-person resources to provide autonomy, expert guidance, and connections between classroom and real-world settings. An "ecology of resources" approach interacts learners with a network of knowledge, tools, people and environments. Learner-generated contexts further personalize learning around interests. This prepares learners for 21st century careers through acquisition of language, digital literacy, and lifelong learning abilities in authentic contexts.

The Library of the Future: Embedding Sustainability into Strategic Planning

ldore1

This paper will discuss how the development of a new, ambitious ‘UCD Library Strategic Plan 2021-2025: The Library of the Future’ was carried out in a way that embeds future sustainability in all our services and facilities. The starting point for the library’s strategic plan was UCD’s Strategy 2020-2024: ‘Rising to the Future’ which articulates a vision of a university with ambitions to grow its student population while also placing sustainability at its core, striving to ‘create a sustainable global society’. This placed an initial emphasis on developing a Library strategy that was future focused and centered on sustainability; economically, environmentally and socially. Alongside this, development of the library’s strategy occurred during a time of significant challenges. These were multifactorial and included a shift in institutional priorities following the pandemic, and an unprecedented level of change in library and university leadership. This paper will outline how addressing these challenges further highlighted the need to embed a sustainable approach to delivering our new strategy. This presentation will provide insight into how this strategic plan was developed with a focus on the library’s role in advancing a sustainable university. Furthermore, it will outline how sustainability was not viewed as a standalone strategic goal but, was fully embedded into each pillar laid out in the new strategy. This enabled us to consider sustainability in several different ways: -The environmental impact of library spaces and services -Management of library collections in the context of open research and global scholarship -How we can support the development of critical literacies in our students and staff -Enabling the capacity of library staff to support new and emerging roles and services This paper will conclude by reflecting on how embedding sustainability into strategic planning can enable flexibility and adaptability when faced with unprecedented and significant challenges and change.

Library strategy for distance learners by abid hussain library officer issi

Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad (ISSI)

This document discusses strategies for academic libraries to better serve distance learners. It defines distance learning as acquiring knowledge through mediated instruction and technologies that support lifelong learning. As distance learning programs have grown, libraries must adapt to meet the needs of these students. The document recommends that libraries identify the programs and subjects of distance learners to understand their needs. It also suggests direct marketing of library services through websites, email lists, and social media to make distance students aware of available resources. Libraries should adopt new tools like web 2.0 to promote services and connect with distance learners in innovative ways. Librarians must think of new strategies, like conducting surveys, to provide traditional resources to non-traditional distance students.
