This workshop from the 2022 Bonner Fall Directors and Coordinators Meeting focused on how to use Power Mapping as an organizing strategy for advancing community engaged learning. The session was especially targeted for teams involved in the Pathways and Paradigm Projects to discuss institutional change strategies. Developed and led by Ariane Hoy, Bonner Foundation, and Paul Schadewald, Bringing Theory to Practice.
This elective workshop focused on using the process of power mapping as a strategy for campus community engagement and community-engaged learning. After illustrating the steps, using the goal of creating a course designator, participants worked in small groups to power map their change projects. Facilitated by Ariane Hoy and Paul Schadewald.

Programme Leaders: co-creating support through community development, Neil FordSEDA
Programme Leaders increasingly play a critical role in the student learning experience and delivery of strategic education objectives. It is also well known that Programme Leaders face
significant challenges and often receive little support in their role. This participative workshop will investigate challenges and effective forms of development for Programme Leaders. Using examples from scoping research at the University of Southampton, participants will explore networks and communities of practice as effective forms of peer support.

Curriculum reform is a potential catalyst for institutional transformation in Higher Education, but curriculum design is often side-lined and seen as “marginal and subservient to the needs of strategic planning and quality assurance”. This paper explores the potential of the curriculum as the site of SoTL research drawing on insights from an action research project on a staff development activity in support of a curriculum change initiative at University College Cork. It considers the limitations of this research and the complexity of navigating the space between institutional frameworks, academic freedom, and individual practice.
The Non-Disposable Assignment: Enhancing Personalised Learning - Session 2Michael Paskevicius
Slides from our second meeting of three from a course redesign series on creating non-disposable assignments.
As advertised:
Do you want to offer students an opportunity to bring their passions, personal interests, and individual strengths into their coursework?
How can we design assessment which students feel connected to, value, and are proud to share with their peers?
Are you interested in learning how to create a non-disposable assignment for your students?
This 3-part assignment redesign workshop will take you through the steps to create a non-disposable assignment from beginning to end.
Disposable Assignments: "are assignments that students complain about doing and faculty complain about grading. They’re assignments that add no value to the world – after a student spends three hours creating it, a teacher spends 30 minutes grading it, and then the student throws it away” (Wiley, 2013).
This series is about creating a non-disposable assignment. The three sessions will blend a combination of some pre-reading, discussion, and in session time to flesh out the details of a rich assignment that allows students to co-create knowledge, be creative and engage in a personalised learning experience.
We’ll focus on crafting projects which meet your existing or redesigned course learning outcomes, explore tools for students to demonstrate their learning, and identify strategies for conducting peer-review. In the end you’ll end up with plan for implementing your redesigned assignment in Spring 2018 or Fall 2018.
Throughout the three-part workshop we will also be collectively exposing our own learnings to others in the group through a live reflection and blogging site to support our work. We hope faculty can attend all three parts as they are planned with the intent you are coming for the whole series.

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

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
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.

2. Creating CS activities with students
Co-Planning the
citizen science activity
Co-Design the citizen
science activity
Co-deliver the citizen
science activity
Evaluate/assess the
citizen science activity
3. Embedding CS into curricula
activities
Tip. Plan CS activities as the interdisciplinary
challenges that aim for experiencing and
understanding open science practices and
active citizenship competencies.
Tip: Be agile, leave space in your annual
course programmes for upcoming
collaborative activities, projects and
hackathons that could be used for your course
tasks and may provide an excellent ground to
engage with external stakeholders.
4. Planning the CS into learning
tasks
Tip: Plan the CS as open knowledge building activities into
problem-solving tasks that last throughout a longer study period to
reach complex challenges with external stakeholders.
Tip: To have more impact on active citizenship competences, plan the
knowledge building activities not as short-term tasks within the higher
education courses, but as longer course-wide sequential tasks that
move towards the final target and cover all the open science process
phases.
5. Use design frameworks for CS
Tip: The learning design
framework and the
implementation
framework for open
knowledge building
activities provide useful
guides and working
sheets for planning the
open knowledge activities
together with higher
education students and
external stakeholders.
6. Engagement and agency
Tip: Inform stakeholders in personal networks, social media
and official channels about the open knowledge building
activities to gain more interest among the external from the
higher education participants.
Tip: To develop agency, involve students and colleagues and
experts as well as external stakeholders into the codesign of
open knowledge-building activities for higher education
students and external stakeholders.
Tip: Develop in your open knowledge building activities the
agency of your students using the codesign approach, and
create giving-forward chains where they can spread this to the
next level stakeholders.
7. Agency shifting
Tip: Develop in your open knowledge building activities the
agency of your students using the codesign approach, and
create giving-forward chains where they can spread this to
the next level stakeholders.
Tip: It is all about growing the agency to be an active citizen
in their communities - let participants have the stakes in the
open knowledge building activity that they want to carry to
the decision-making and policies.
8. Select the digital mediation for CS
Tip: If needed, use the digital environments that the
participants have experienced already, and that are easily
grasped.
Tip: Plan first the interactions and action stages and then
look for supportive digital modes to mediate this.
Tip: Plan and structure activities and choose the tools so
that it motivates participants and they can work in self
organised mode.
9. Tips for scaffolding CS
Tip. Use mentors’s tips to shift the agency to the
participants.
Tip: Do not over-facilitate when groups are able to
lead their work.
Tip: Use mentors from experts, alumni, as well as
trust your students to be mentors for external
participants. Digital work in several focus groups
should be mentored by different mentors rather than
one.
10. Tip: Plan the policy
discussions as part of your
activity’s final stage, have
a policymaker on board
from the start who is
interested to carry on the
message to the
decision-making process.
Tip: Integrate policy
making discussions and
decision-making into the
final stage of your activity.
Make the step from data to
data-driven policy
11. Open data /knowledge sharing
Tip: Plan publicly popular places for
sharing the creative commons results.
The shared open data and knowledge
should be valuable for more than only
for your activity participants.
12. Motivation of CS
Tip: Gamification of the open knowledge building activity
may deepen the motivation of participants.
13. Evaluation of CS
Tip: Plan the open knowledge building activity impact
criteria broadly: cover the competences of people,
capacities in the communities, and values in the societies.
Tip: Collect feedback of your open knowledge building
activity on the run to make relevant corrections
