Web components are the new hotness. Fact. Already there are frameworks like Google’s Polymer and X-Tag from Mozilla that are set to make building websites with web components much easier. But you should really learn the foundation that these frameworks are built on before exploring how they make your life easier. That’s what a responsible developer would do. You’re a responsible developer, right? I’m not either but even if you’re not, come anyway and see what one looks like. I’m sure at least one will show up. In this session we will take a good long look at some basic features of native web components. We will discuss and demo the use of HTML5’s new template tag, create our own custom html elements without using a framework, explore the spookily named Shadow DOM, and bundle it all up using HTML5 imports. Bring your laptop, a modern browser (Chrome, bring Chrome), and your JavaScript skills and let’s make a thing with web components!

Accessible Websites With Lotus Notes/Domino, presented at the BLUG day event,...Martin Leyrer
EU-Legislation demands 'accessible' websites, often leaving details or exact specifications on what that means out. In this session, we will have a look at the most often cited 'specifications', the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 and 2.0 and how to interpret them. I will show a few free tools that can help a Notes Developer to asses what needs to be done to make a website 'compliant'. And of course I will offer quick tips and easy to implement 'hacks' to make an existing web application more 'accessible', sharing along the way a few best practices and experiences from the work I have done so far.

Beg, Borrow or Steal: The Art of Flashing Without Flashingspjwebster
HTML5 is awesome. Well, it will be awesome when it\'s finally ready. Probably.
The bad news is that by the time the W3C have finished monkeying with HTML5, I\'ll probably have given up on the web as a whole and taken up meat goat farming.
The good news (for you, me and the goats) is that there\'s no need to wait for a lot of the functionality that HTML5 promises; we can start using them right now. In this session I\'m going to show you how you can steal these features from the Flash Player and use them in your standards-based sites or applications, without even a sniff of Flash on the page.

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.
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.

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.
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.

2. What are professional practices? Making a web page isn't hard - anybody can get something on the web. Making quality web pages requires skill, requires a professional. Some professional practices are things that by law you should conform to. Others are the things that distinguish your work from that of an amateur. We expect professionals to possess significant skills, that they produce work of a quality not obtainable by an amateur and that their knowledge is significant.
5. Code There are many things that indicate quality code: Comments Developers who take the time to properly document their work make their lives, and the lives of others, much easier. Avoid stating the obvious: <!-- Table starts here --> <table> <tr> … Assume that any person reading your code understands basic HTML.
6.
7.
8. Use tabs to indent the different levels of your code: Top level start Second level start Third level start … Third level finish Second level finish Top level finish <table> <tr> <td> <p>Content</p> </td> </tr> </table>
9.
10.
11. Images Use correct width and height specifications. This enables the browser to layout the page correctly before the image has downloaded. Resize your images with graphic editing software not with your HTML code. Use good alt values - descriptive sentences. alt="Percy the cat." alt="Giraffe in hiking gear."
12. Image size and the web Dialup (56k modem) = 56 kilo bits per second, not kilobytes! 56 kilobits = 7 kilobytes per second. So, a single 32KB image will take at least 4.5 seconds. "Broadband" starts at 256 kilobits (32KB per second) maximum. 1 megabit (1024 kilobits) broadband = 128KB per second max.
19. Spelling and grammar Nothing suggests a sloppy attitude quite like failing to take the time to proof read the content of your pages.
20. Don’t forget the text in your <title> , alt , etc. Use a spell checker to help, but don’t rely on it alone.
21. Testing Check and double-check that all your links work. Before and after you upload to your web server. Test on every browser and operating system you can get your hands on. Test with different connection speeds. Test on different screen resolutions. Test on different monitor types. Usability testing.
22. Involvement Keep up with what’s new in the field. There is always something to learn. For web development, one of the best way to stay current is to participate in and read the many quality web-based publications in the profession. A List Apart ( http:// alistapart .com/ ) Digital Web Magazine ( http://www.digital-web.com/ ) Style Gala ( http://www. stylegala .com/ ) Mailing Lists: W3C ( http://www.w3.org/Mail/ )
23. It’s very important to note that, no matter how much you know, there is always more to learn. I don’t think there is any Web professional out there that will tell you they 100% “get” the Web, regardless of how long they’ve been at it. Things change too quickly and there is just too much to learn and know. If you take responsibility for the completeness of your education and make a commitment to life-long learning you’ll do just fine, regardless of what path you choose. - D. Keith Robinson Contributing Writer and Former Editor In Chief of Digital Web Magazine.
24. Plagiarism The use of somebody else’s work without acknowledgement. Can occur deliberately (with intent to deceive) and accidentally (without understanding). Acts of plagiarism can breech the law (intellectual property rights). It is perfectly possible to plagiarise “free” sources. In such instances the plagiarism is a moral and ethical issue but it is not illegal.
25.
26. The World Wide Web has made it very easy for us to access and copy material. It has also made it relatively easy for us to determine the source of plagiarised material. “ A redisigned site can advance a company's eBusiness strategy, help a company keep up with new technology standards, provide access to new applications and content, integrate with overall branding and user experience standards, and reduce Web site operating costs.”
27. Copyright Infringement The unauthorised use of copyrighted material. It is illegal to use copyright material without the owners permission. Assume copyright until informed otherwise.
28.
29. Copyright and education The NZ Copyright Act 1994 allows individuals to copy portions of copyrighted material for research or study purposes. The act allows universities to make multiple copied of a copyrighted work within certain guidelines. New Zealand universities also have an agreement whereby they can exceed the number of copies permitted under the Copyright Act in certain circumstances. Materials sourced from the Internet are subject to standard copyright law. Alter to suit local law
