Thinking beyond me-portfolios Jisc Digital Festival 2015Jisc
This document discusses different types of portfolios and proposes embedding task portfolios into curriculum. It distinguishes between me-portfolios, which focus on the author, and task portfolios, which focus on activities. Task portfolios can benefit me-portfolios by providing context and opportunities for students to demonstrate learning through incremental tasks with feedback. The document advocates for portfolios that are personally customizable, task-based, and developed over time through evidence, reflections, and contributions from others in order to provide the richest evidence for me-portfolios.

This document outlines a focus group consultation on developing a shared vision of employability at DkIT. The consultation aims to engage staff, students, and employers to uncover best practices and develop a shared understanding of the skills and attributes of DkIT graduates. While DkIT graduates have a 94% employment rate within one year of graduating, employability practices tend to be localized. The focus group will discuss themes like understanding employability at DkIT, cultivating employability skills, graduate attributes, employers' roles, supports for recent graduates, and assisting socially disadvantaged students. The goals are to create a set of graduate attributes, an employability guide, an industry forum, and an institute-wide employability statement.

How to Create Efficient Learning Environment in Turbulent Times?Marek Hyla
The deck defines the framework of efficient learning environment created on a basis of secondary research of trends, new ideas and concepts in the learning and development space. It focuses on enablers and derailes related with learning mindsets and learning experiences supported by modern learning function.
The document discusses the MATURE model for analyzing motivational aspects in knowledge management. It was developed over 4 years of research to systematically include motivational factors. The model takes a socio-technical perspective and was informed by empirical studies. It focuses on observable barriers and links them to potential measures. The model analyzes individual, interpersonal, and work environment factors that can influence motivation. Measures are proposed at each level, like aligning tools with interests/values, improving cooperation, and ensuring the right infrastructure. The model provides guidance for interventions to improve knowledge development practices. The researchers are now applying the model through a consulting network.
Companies large and small are seeking non-linear growth and hence driving innovation has become a priority. Yet, many companies struggle to bring their big ideas to life.
This is because the real innovation challenge lies beyond just the idea, in the long journey from imagination to business impact.

This document proposes removing traditional university education and bringing industries and academics closer together through a centralized education system. Key points include:
1) Students would move directly from K-12 schooling into industry employment, where organizations can select targeted training modules for workers to access for free, anywhere, anytime.
2) This reduces travel/logistics costs compared to traditional universities and allows for mass customization of education on a global scale using IT systems.
3) Challenges include overcoming resistance to change, limited initial job mobility, obtaining legal approvals, and establishing a clear revenue model.
The document summarizes the findings of a study on preferable processes for entrepreneurship training and e-mentoring. The study surveyed 109 students/graduates and 49 entrepreneurs across several European countries. Key findings include: 1) Learning by doing was the most important way of learning for both groups. 2) Students understood entrepreneurship as developing potential and practical skills. 3) Italians preferred more practical training than other nationalities. 4) Students were more interested than entrepreneurs in e-mentoring. 5) An effective process would balance theory and practice, have optimal contact hours, and provide practical experience learning from experienced entrepreneurs.

The role of UK higher education (HE), further education (FE) and skills sectors in developing student employability is clear. Technology can be an enabler to the development and communication of employability skills, but are organisations and employers making best use of it?
This document discusses a multidisciplinary teaching approach that pairs law students with engineering students. The law students interview the engineering students about their master's projects and provide legal advice on any intellectual property issues. This gives the law students real-world experience with skills like fact-finding, written advice, and client interactions. It also increases the engineers' awareness of intellectual property protections. The approach benefits both students' employability and has led to deeper learning through an authentic project. Challenges include coordinating the different students' schedules, but benefits include highly engaged students and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
HOW DOES TECHNOLOGY LEADERS PROGRAM (TLP) ENHANCE MACHINE LEARNING AND AI EXP...Plaksha University

Instructional strategies for technology integrationRonald Suplido Jr
Instructional strategies for effective technology integration are discussed. Key points include defining technology integration as using technology tools to allow students to apply skills to learning and problem-solving, driven by curriculum not technology. A technology integration matrix outlines levels from entry to transformation. Effective integration requires consideration of students, instructors, institutions, technology tools, and evaluation. Models like TPACK and SAMR provide frameworks for enhancing integration. When implemented properly through collaborative and student-centered approaches, technology can positively impact student achievement.

2. Teaching Entrepreneurship
“The entrepreneurial mystique? It’s not magic,
it’s not mysterious, and it has nothing to do
with the genes. It’s a discipline. And, like any
discipline, it can be learned”
- Peter Drucker, 1985
3. Teaching Entrepreneurship
• Management education typically focuses on
the best, or most effective way to operate
within existing organizations.
• Entrepreneurship education is distinctive in
its focus on realization of opportunity and
the creation of new organizations.
• Our goal is to teach students how to
recognize and develop opportunities.
4. Experiential Education
• “The process whereby knowledge is created
through the transformation of experience.
Knowledge results from the combination of
grasping and transforming experience”
• - Kolb, 1984
• Experiential Learning serves as an excellent
vehicle for transferring entrepreneurial skills
5. Approaches to Experiential
Education in Entrepreneurship
• Business plans
–(Hills, 1988; Vesper and McMullan, 1988; Preshing, 1991;
Gartner and Vesper, 1994; Gormal et al., 1997)
