An adventure into creation of OER: A STEM wiki projectBCcampus
Presentation by Pamini Thangarajah, Associate Professor, Mount Royal University
Removing financial barriers to undergraduate education is crucial, and the creation of open educational resources (OER) will directly help. And not only would the resources developed benefit the students as they are taking the class, but also by making the material open, it could be used by other faculty and students, not only at your institution but beyond.
In an appreciation of my financially unburden educational experience, I have explored what I can do to help the students to access the required learning materials. There is no open text(s) available that can be used for this course. To this end, I have created the resources in an open educational environment.
In this session, I will be walking you through my experience of creating open educational resources for a mathematics course at the Mount Royal University, Calgary.
Festival of Learning 2018 - May 28 – 30 at the Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront in Vancouver, B.C.
The labour market is aware of the upheavals created by globalization of the economy and of technology and also by the proliferation of networks: rapid evolution of job opportunities, frequent use of networks by organizations, diffusion of the culture of quality, has become inseparable from strategies for success in business, sharing of work time and the precariousness of workers’ status. The student world has also evolved rapidly. The splitting of this demand works in favour of partnerships between education, industry and local and regional authorities, as well as in favour of greater mobility between institutions. The need for the student to be confronted to the world of work and real life within society has become an irreversible reality. The general aim of education should be to prepare young people for live and work.

Quantitative and qualitative indicators of achievement.
The last survey at the end of the Erasmus+ project ,,Movere, Docere, Delectare through reading"
This talk will introduce two different approaches to address the complex relationship between learning outcomes, assessment and the feedback that facilitates both student performance and satisfaction.
The first of these is a flipped lecture approaching a final year plant biology module. The initial (authentic) context was set out in a national strategy (1). Students were required to indicate which areas they deemed the most important. Responses were submitted online and class data was ranked to form the basis of the subsequent teaching sessions. For each student-determined sub-topic, session were held with varied delivery including group work, journal clubs, seminars and clicker quizzes. Students worked in groups, often in the virtual environment, to prepare for each flipped session. In parallel, students drafted, refined, and approved an exam question, which formed part of the final module examination. Student feedback was generally good but some students preferred the conventional approach. From this experience it is clear that facilitation of flipped teaching requires transparency, preparation and the need to be reactive.
The second approach used formative assessment in a digital environment to deliver feedforward in a first year module. A weekly series of short answer questions similar to the exam were provided. Students answered the question and then ranked those of their peers using the online NoMoreMarking tool. The top answer was annotated and returned to them. This provided revision, reflection, evaluation and feedback in an efficient way for both staff and students.

Blackboard Learn has many tools. How do you help academics to make the right choices? How do you validate that the choice you've made will be fit for purpose? In this session, we will be exploring a framework for tool choice for assessment across quizzes, assignments, journals, blogs and discussion boards in whole-class, group or individual contexts. We will also share best practices in the preparation and use of these tools.

This session reflects two University initiatives, giving participants the chance to discuss how digital and information literacies and skills of our students can be integrated widely into a programme-level curriculum. Tom Clark (Sociological Studies) will reflect on a University-funded ‘Inside Knowledge’ project that utilised Killen and Chatterton’s 2015 model of staff-student partnership to map levels of digital literacy within a sociology programme. It will explain how the seven key areas of digital literacy proposed by Jisc to create a measurement tool to assess the digital curricula, before exploring how this resonated with students’ expectations, experience and capabilities of the programme. Vicky Grant (Library) will present an initiative by the University Library, in partnership with staff and student stakeholders, to develop a model, framework and offer for Information and Digital Literacy (IDL) at the University of Sheffield.

Part of the Online Communities Case Studies presentations.
This session includes case studies themes around the creation of online communities for learners.

Virtual Reality offers the opportunity to create highly immersive experiences and can transport learners to different environments such that they genuinely feel like they are there. Already there are innovative examples of practice taking place across the institution. The cost to create and view these experiences, previously meant that this method of teaching has been limited to those with ample resources. In this session you will design a VR experience and discover how, with no technical expertise you can create Virtual Reality experiences for your students. You will also hear from students who have been creating VR experiences to educate others about their discipline.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
