In order to improve personal and organizational knowledge, people have to take time to make sense of the information torrent. If not, it remains merely information. Unfortunately, many of today’s knowledge workers don’t have the time, discipline or the essential skills to select, filter, evaluate and comprehend their multifarious information sources. This can lead to missed opportunities, poor decision-making and suboptimal performance. The 21st century knowledge worker needs to be confident and comfortable with using social technologies and engaging with communities and social learning networks to update his or her knowledge in order to remain relevant. This session explores some of the tools, skills and processes that can help with information sense-making, and looks at the emergent roles of the Community Manager and Digital Curator in delivering value to learning networks.

Games as Serious Visualisation Tools For Digital Humanities, Cultural Heritage and Immersive Literacy
Are there social and cultural issues raised by virtual, mixed and augmented reality technologies of particular interest to Digital Humanities researchers? I will also discuss related emerging and merging themes in serious game research and a relatively new concept, immersive literacy.
Exploring digital literacies with our students means that we must we willing to reflect on our own digital practices and digital identity/identities. This presentation describes how an undergraduate module for IT students was designed and structured so that students could explore, develop and reflect on digital literacies, digital identity and related issues such as privacy and authenticity in networked publics.
School libraries are at the heart of a new digital learning nexus. Our world changed in April 1993 when the Mosaic 1.0 browser was released to the general public. The challenges we face are equally creative as they are complex. What is your focus for tomorrow?

Emerging technologies for teaching and learning: a tour of the 2010 horizon
How is the landscape for teaching and learning with technology changing this year? We begin with an overview of current methods for apprehending emergent technologies, including Delphi, futures markets, networks, and scenarios. Drawing on those methods we identify a series of emerging trends, from interface changes to open content to gaming. Next we delve into several high-impact fields. Social media has already transformed the general cybercultural world, and is reshaping the academy. Mobile devices have begun to revolutionize many levels of our technological interactions.
I research and develop programs on the advanced uses of information technology in liberal arts colleges. My specialties include digital writing, weblogs, copyright and intellectual property, information literacy, wireless culture and teaching, project management, information design, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I contribute to a series of weblogs, including NITLE Tech News, MANE IT leaders, and Smartmobs, when not creating digital learning objects (like Gormenghast). I’ve taught English and information technology studies at the University of Michigan and Centenary College.

Presentation given for a panel presentation at the AAC&U 2019 meeting. Abstract: In this panel presentation, three institutions explored how ePortfolio curriculum prompts new ways of thinking about education. In Northeastern University’s online master’s education program, students draw from and transform their earlier “learning ePortfolios” into professional ePortfolios showing accomplishment and career readiness. Key to this transition are four critical moves: remembering, analyzing, envisioning, and synthesizing. In Florida State University’s Rhetoric and Composition ePortfolio, a signature practice is selection, supported by an ePortfolio curatorial process helping students make decisions about what’s to select for the ePortfolio and what to leave behind. Across all three programs, students report that these supportive practices are fundamental.
What can we learn about ePortfolio programs by listening to graduates?Gail Matthews-DeNatale
AAC&U 2017 Presentation Abstract: The ePortfolio community has long been dedicated to documenting, analyzing, and communicating the value of ePortfolios in higher education. But what happens to our students after they graduate? How do alumni perceive the value of their ePortfolio experience? Do they incorporate evidence-based, multimodal, and metacognitive practices into their daily life and work, and if so in what ways? What other insights might they share? This session will present the prominent themes that emerged during interviews and email exchanges with graduates from Northeastern University and Florida State University. The session will also include time for attendees to explore how they might incorporate alumni outreach into their own ePortfolio work and research.

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.

“There are literally
thousands of websites
and YouTube videos
that say the world will
end, and only two or
three say it's a hoax.”

about it. They take my
videos that begin with the
NASA logo, chop that off, and
put it at the beginning of
their video with the headline
"NASA confirms the end of
the world."
