A brief presentation for the Koninklijke Vaamse Academie van België voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten (kvab.nl) and the Universitaire Stichting (fondationuniversitaire.be) at Brussels about MOOCs, their promises and challenges, also from an ethical perspective. The OpenupEd initiative as a collaborative approach to MOOCs was presented and discussed.
MOOCs are arguable a revolutionary innovation in education. But are they really that new? Do we need to stick to a course format? Do they have to be online or is blending also acceptable? How open are they really? Should they be massive and what is massive anyway? Do the democratise education, as is often claimed?

Redecker et al (2011, 9) note that “The overall vision is that personalisation, collaboration and informalisation (informal learning) will be at the core of learning in the future. “ Our world is changing rapidly. Educators need to quickly adapt and change and develop new learning and teaching strategies that are fit for our times. Informal networks and open development opportunities enabled and extended through digital technologies are valuable to connect with other practitioners, share practices, support each other and innovate in collaboration with others within and beyond their own institutions.
Seely Brown (2012, 14) talked about the “Big Shift” driven by “digital innovation” and characterised by “exponential change and emergence, socially and culturally”. Can we afford to stay where we are and do what we always did? Or is there a need for academic development to maximise on opportunities to remain current, innovate but also model flexible, forward facing and sustainable practices which connect, engage and have the potential to transform practices and enhance the student experience. The European Commission(2013) calls institutions to join-up and open-up. Could this be a sustainable solution for academic CPD?
Bring Your Own Devices for Learning (BYOD4L) is an open development opportunity for educators and students, developed by academic developers in two institutions. It builds on open learning ecologies (Jackson, 2013), the concept of lifewide learning (Jackson, 2014) and the ethos of sharing, collaboration and co-creation of pedagogical interventions and collective innovation within a supportive community enabled through social media. BYOD4L brought individuals together to learn how they can use their smart devices for learning through reflection and active experimentation. BYOD4L has been offered twice so far, initially with a group of distributed facilitators and then with five participating institutions. Expectations and value of BYOD4L from both iterations will be shared with delegates. The open CPD framework developed maximised on the expertise and the resources available by the community and participating individuals and institutions and created a rich and diverse and multimodal learning ecology. This is the approach adopted in BYOD4L. Does the open cross-institutional CPD framework developed present an attractive solution for institutions more widely that has the potential to normalise the use of technology for learning?

Today's institutions of higher learning bear little resemblance to the institutions that preceded them, as technological, economic, political, and socio-cultural factors transform societies and the institutions that exist within them. In this talk, I will explore the significant opportunities and challenges facing today's higher institutions of learning. I will discuss my research findings on social media, open online learning, and networked participation, and examine emerging models for learning, teaching, and scholarship. Through this discussion, we will reflect on the values and ideals of educational and knowledge systems and the congruency of these ideals with the systems that are currently being created.

Παρουσίαση εργασίας μαθητών του 1ου Πρότυπου Πειραματικού Δημοτικού Σχολείου Θεσσαλονίκης [εντ. ΑΠΘ]
Η εργασία του 1ου Πρότυπου Πειραματικού Δημοτικού Σχολείου Θεσσαλονίκης με τίτλο:
Code.Play.Learn.English
"Δημιουργία συλλογής εκπαιδευτικών παιχνιδιών εκμάθησης Αγγλικών από μαθητές για μαθητές"
υλοποιήθηκε από μαθητές της ΣΤ' Τάξης στο πλαίσιο του μαθήματος των ΤΠΕ, με την εκπαιδευτικό Πληροφορικής Λία Τερζίδου και τον εκπαιδευτικό Αγγλικής Γλώσσας Αδάμ Αναστασίου.
Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η εργασία αφορά στη δημιουργία μιας συλλογής εκπαιδευτικού λογισμικού από μαθητές της ΣΤ' τάξης για μαθητές Α' και Β' δημοτικού, με στόχο την εκμάθηση της Αγγλικής γλώσσας με ευχάριστο και παιγνιώδη τρόπο. Οι εφαρμογές έχουν τη μορφή παιχνιδιών και για την υλοποίησή τους χρησιμοποιήθηκαν το περιβάλλον προγραμματισμού Scratch και υπηρεσίες σύννεφου (Cloud Services) για τη συνεργασία μεταξύ των μαθητών. Επιλέχθηκε η παιχνιδοκεντρική μάθηση, η οποία: α) από την πλευρά του εκπαιδευόμενου, οδηγεί όλες τις ηλικίες και πολύ περισσότερο τα μικρά παιδιά σε καλύτερο μαθησιακό αποτέλεσμα και β) από τη πλευρά των μαθητών που δημιουργούν το λογισμικό, εισάγει τις βασικές έννοιες του προγραμματισμού και της δομημένης σκέψης, μέσω του ευχάριστου περιβάλλοντος του Scratch. Οι μαθητές συνεργάστηκαν ως μια ομάδα προγραμματιστών που γνωρίζει καλά τις ανάγκες του τελικού χρήστη, στους οποίους επιθυμούν να προσφέρουν τη γνώση μέσα από τη χαρά και τη διασκέδαση του παιχνιδιού, αξιοποιώντας υπηρεσίες σύννεφου και πολυμεσικών στοιχείων.
Pedagogical Agents in Serious Games - EDUCON 2014Lia Terzidou
Presentation of my paper that examines the impact of an pedagogical agent (PA), in a 3D collaborative educational game in the virtual environment of OpenSim platform. The main goal of this paper is to evaluate the impact of a pedagogical agent to 3D collaborative game based learning by developing an agent that interacts with the students both at team and personal level. In order to enhance the already implemented 3D game functions, a pedagogical agent that supports students during the game learning process was implemented. The evaluation approach attempts to investigate the impact of PAs in 3D collaborative educational games focusing on two dimensions: a) on PAs usefulness in collaborative 3D games and b) on students' teams performance in the game learning process. This research concludes that the intervention of pedagogical agent's assistance in the game has a strong positive impact on teams performance and can be considered as useful in collaborative serious games.

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

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.

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.
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.
