Technology, learning and identity: rethinking ePortfolios for Arts students’...ePortfolios Australia
This faciliated conversation explores Arts students’ responses to using ePortfolio for enhancing their learning acorss a range of degree programs at four universities in Australia. This multi modal approach to data collection is the result of the recent outcomes of on an OLT funded project that aimed to introduce ePortfolios to students undertaking degree programs in the creative and performing arts. The project to date has identified that knowledge management is a key factor for students as they progress through the process of ePortfolio development. The project’s outcomes are to provide tertiary students from the Performing and Creative Arts with skills to create an ePortfolio to document their academic and artistic outcomes for future employment and enhanced employability in the arts sector. What has appeared is that the artisitc identity of the students is forming through the process of reflection “on” and “in” their various degree programs’ discreet subjects.

Model Attribute Check Company Auto PropertyCeline George
In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
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”.

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.

10. ECSTASI: Encouraging Creativity in Students
Through Applied Student Inquiry
with Drs Marie Griffiths and Maria Kutar, Salford
Business School
Gathering data from students in 2013-14 and
2014-15
Questionnaires (students and staff; pre- and post-
surveys)
Focus groups
Analysis of ‘products’
11. ‘person’s natural imagination’
‘ability to think of original ideas and concepts, not purely copying
someone else’s work’
‘your own ideas’
‘think for yourself’
‘pushing yourself out of your comfort zone’
‘creating and working something different to everyone else to
set yourself apart from them’
‘intrinsic to the individual’
‘you’re either a creative person or not, more born with it’
12. Person
is the student a creative
person and have their
learning experiences
developed their
creativity?
Process
is the process through
which the person
learnt or the product
was made creative?
Product
is the essay or other
piece of work creative?
Adapted from (Charyton et al., 2009)
13. Do you think of yourself as a creative
person?
Yes - 16
Positive (e.g. ‘a bit’) - 10
Negative (e.g. ‘not very’) - 4
No - 3
14. It has allowed me
to think in other
formats than just
an essay and made
me think more
about presentation
Not really, I think the
program was just
complicated and wasn't fair
that it was new and part of
the assessment. Don't
think that it was just me
that felt this
Thinking outside the box
more. Making more of an effort
to satisfy the audience’s needs
in creative/ interesting/
interactive ways
Yes maybe, I
could do a lot
more than I
expected
15. “Some of the students who had achieved
mediocre results in more traditional forms of
assessments managed to excel in producing
their digital objects.” (Staff response)
17. Focus group
Xerte +
offers ten different ways to
approach a source, an
essay is too structured to
achieve the same scope
helped them see research
as “like a tree growing”,
starting from a central
source and branching out.
“absolutely has potential to
allow people to be creative”
Xerte -
“very inaccessible […] “it
seems like it’s still in
development […] it seems
unfinished.”
“not very simple to use”
more guidance needed
problems in working in
groups
“we were creative with it because it enabled us to
explore quite an old document in a language none of
us can read and make it accessible.”
18. “It encourages them to think about the problem
from an unfamiliar angle, with a view to presenting
their thoughts and conclusions in an unfamiliar
format. The unfamiliarity was initially a little
unsettling for some, but ultimately facilitated
deeper and more effective reflection, as they
grappled with new ways of presenting
information.” (Staff response)
19. How would you measure your creativity for the artefact on a
scale where 1 = least creative and 5 = most creative?
Average response = 3.33
“group projects like the Xerte object will have to
be creative to stand out from the rest”
20. Creative elements:
Multimedia content (e.g. pictures, videos)
Varied methods of presenting information (e.g.
‘zooming in’)
“we could have just written about it or done a poster
about it, but it wouldn’t have had the impact.”
Encouraging creativity:
Ability to reach a wider audience and application
(e.g. essays just seen by author and tutor)
21. “[…] it helped (some of) the students to
think about how they present
information to others, to consider that
they might be producing material that
engages with an audience beyond the
teacher.” (Staff response)
22. Digital objects sometimes passive: “you can take
as little or as much as you like”
“Definitely the most effective way to deliver a
creative presentation that I’ve come across”
Xerte is more engaging, but essays can allow
students to “be more creative with my ideas
because you can extend and expand them
more”
23. Key: not Xerte, but the pedagogy
Making (or creating) digital history developed range of skills
Team working, using sources, subject knowledge
Less impact on digital literacy
Stress (e.g. of groupwork) aided learning?
Creativity developed across three areas, although with
challenges
Person – certain students think they are more suited to this
Process – problem solving and thinking in different ways
Product – thinking about audience
