This document discusses formative assessment techniques for improving teaching and learning. It describes several low-cost formative assessment methods like using colored cards for quick quizzes during lectures. These methods can help identify gaps in students' knowledge, determine their level of understanding, and provide feedback. The document also shares student feedback, which indicated these interactive formative assessments help students check their progress, highlight areas they need to work on, and keep them engaged during lectures.

The impact of governance approaches on system of-system environmentsBoxer Research Ltd
Governments worldwide are turning to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based systems of systems, commonly termed Electronic Government (eGovernment), to enable more timely, efficient and effective interaction with their citizens and with the business community. Citizens and businesses have dynamic and evolving demands related to the complexity of their lives and operational environments, respectively. A major challenge for government is to be able to understand the value derived from investment in eGovernment in order to improve its consequent ability to respond to the variety of demands of its citizens and businesses. To be able to understand the value derived from planned investments in eGovernment, their analysis needs to extend beyond the familiar approaches that address economies of scale and scope to encompass economies of alignment. These economies of alignment arise from being able to reduce the costs of the multiple forms of collaboration needing to be supported by systems of systems in providing greater responsiveness.

Introduction
Classroom unit plans are documents used by teachers to map long-term plan throughout the school term or a year. Teachers should have a long-term unit plan that sets their goals and objectives throughout the term in a bid to enhance student performance. Teachers should be able to understand their students as different students come from different backgrounds and environment; exhibiting different personalities, traits, and intellectual capabilities. Students behave differently whenever they are in school and at home and this defines their ultimate achievement.
Some students come from very poor background while others come from rich families and this could contribute to the variations in academic performances; which is the ultimate goal behind learning institutions. Lack of enough learning materials such as stationeries and classrooms could reduce leaning efficiency. Some of the students are drug addicts and lack proper parental guidelines leading them to mischievous behaviors’ thus creating an environment not conducive for studying. A well designed unit plan will enable teachers to plan their work well and this l also favors the weak students who cannot perform very well in class.
First Step: Identification of the objective
The first thing that a teacher should do is to identify the content, unit title and the unit subject. The teacher should identify the area of study and the specific topics to be studied over that specific period. A mathematics teacher for example may decide on the topics to study such as algebra, subtraction, multiplication and division. However, teachers should be able to understand their learning objectives in creating a big goal and a long-term plan. The teacher should also be able to create two measurable unit objectives that will enable students to think critically as like align with the CCSS. A Physics teacher for example should make students to think critically in their practical work.
Teachers should be able to create a description of what they want their students to master and understand. Taking students out in the field will really make them understand what they are studying. An Environmental teacher for example should take students out for field studies to make them think critically through exposure.
Second step: Evidence of learning, pre-assessments, formative assessments and summative assessments.
· Pre-assessment: In this step, teacher should be able to detect the preparedness of the students. They should test the thinking of the students if indeed their thoughts are in the content of the subject that is about to be studied. In this case, teachers should be able to understand the interest and capability of the students before the learning process begin. Besides that, teachers should be to identify the learning materials.

In conventional learning environments, instructors are typically faced with the trade-off between the quality of the student experience and the workload in terms of hours dedicated to deliver that ex- perience. This trade-off is exacerbated in the context of courses with large student cohorts. In these scenarios, instructors are fully aware of strategies that would increase the quality of a course such as frequent, personalised feedback, but the required resources sig- nificantly reduce (if not completely remove) the catalog of support actions.
In the ideal one-to-one scenario instructors establish a conversa- tion with the student to gain insight about their current state in terms of the learning objectives, select the most appropriate sup- port action, and deliver it to the student usually verbally, visually or both. Technology may provide support when scaling these three steps: gaining insight, selecting a support action, and delivering it to the student. But with it comes to technology, a second trade-off appears, that of the effectiveness of a tool versus its complexity of creation and deployment. A tool may provide an effective scaling of one of these stages, but they are very complex to design and/or equally complex to gain adoption by the regular instructor.
Presented at AABIG, June 10, 2016. Designing an Instruction Program is a big task, but one of the most important, and often neglected, components is a robust assessment plan. In this short presentation, I will share how librarians at Jack Tarver Library, Mercer University, designed an assessment cycle that includes multiple methods to collect feedback from faculty and students alike, and which covers both session-level and program-level assessment. I’ll take a look back at where we were four years ago, share how we got to our current plan, and speculate on what might happen in the future. Along the way attendees will learn about some of our mistakes and successes, and why we think an intentional assessment plan is an essential part of any instruction program.

Integrated Flipped (IF) Classrooms: enhancing the learning experience across multiple teaching sites
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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
