This presentation discusses how open educational resources (OER) can leverage the full capabilities of the internet for teaching and learning. OER are freely accessible, irrevocably licensed materials that allow users to retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute content. Studies have found OER lead to equivalent or better student outcomes compared to traditional resources at a much lower cost. When instructors remix OER to align with learning objectives or rethink assessment strategies, even greater learning gains can be achieved. Open education infrastructure promotes innovation through reduced costs and broad permissions for experimentation.

What is old can be new again: Or don’t throw out the baby with the bath waterCharles Darwin University
Keynote Presentation to the 'Pathways to Future Learning'. Technology for Learning. T3 Learning & Teaching Symposium. Torrens University Australia. 6 September.
ABSTRACT: Online education has been with us for more than 20 years now and over that time we have leaned many enduring lessons. However, with the advent of more collaborative forms of learning and assessment we have seen new tools emerge that help us to systematise some of these new approaches. The problem (if it is in fact a problem) is that many of these tools do not sit directly in our LMS, so we end up taking our students out to all types of different systems. But wait, what did we do before we had all these technology solutions, we had other ways of creating engaging learning experiences. So have we thrown out the baby with the bath water? In many way authentic assessment is still authentic assessment, but we just have a new kit bag of tools to help us deliver or package, with a slightly different bent. So together we will take a look at what is old to see if it can be made new again.

5R Open Course Design Framework, Fall 2015 versionDavid Wiley
A drastically simplified course design framework for use with faculty as they transition from using commercial textbooks in their courses to using open educational resources (OER).
Keynote presentation for Open Apereo 2015 describing the components of the Open Education Infrastructure. Connects Frischmann's work on intellectual infrastructure, Von Hippel's work on democratizing innovation, and Thierer's work on permissionless innovation to learning outcomes, activities and assessments, and other educational resources as the intellectual infrastructure of education necessary to facilitate innovation in education. Defines "open" and discusses the relationship between open and infrastructure.

Open: Decreasing Costs, Improving Access, and Increasing Quality of EducationDavid Wiley
While "open educational resources" initiatives like MIT OpenCourseWare generated media buzz during the 2000s, a new wave of initiatives is leveraging OER to dramatically decrease the cost, improve access, and increase the quality of secondary and higher education for the average student. This presentation demonstrates how "open" is shaping the field of education, and what is coming in the future.
This talk was delivered at the University of Georgia during March, 2013.
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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

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.
