Embedding SoTL, Diversity and Inclusivity at the Course, Program and Institut...CatherineOMahony7
Embedding SoTL in an institution does not happen overnight. Neither does the alignment of SoTL with principles of diversity and inclusivity happen by chance. This panel discussion will share the story of how faculty and staff at University College Cork (UCC) Ireland have worked together to embed SoTL and embrace principles of diversity and inclusion as a SoTL lever. We have been working with SoTL principles for over twenty years and have developed a number of long-term initiatives that have brought about transformational change at course, program, disciplinary and institutional levels, while embracing principles of diversity and inclusivity.
Three panelists address the following questions in an Irish university context:
(i) How can we use professional development (CPD) to spearhead pedagogical, disciplinary and institutional transformation?
(ii) How can we embed diversity and inclusion at the level of the curriculum in sustainable and effective ways to maximize staff and student learning? LL
(iii) How can we ensure that there is sustained commitment at the institutional level towards supporting and embedding inclusive principles across the university and beyond?
(iv) How does a SoTL perspective pervade and inform these questions? At the pedagogical and curriculum levels, for example, we have embraced principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to inform and advance diverse and inclusive practice.
This is achieved in a number of ways:
(i) through the rolling out a suite of online accredited programmes for faculty in the field of teaching and learning in higher education;
(ii) through the option to take a digital badge in UDL;
(iii) through a generic series of virtual and face to face CPD sessions for faculty and staff. All of these initiatives are run by the Centre for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) which is dynamically related to the Colleges and Faculties of the university, through its champions and teaching fellows. We have also pursued alignment at the institutional level through ensuring that teaching and learning remains a central tenet of the Strategic Plan of the university. CIRTL is also part of a wider ambit that includes collaboration with other centres, such as Digital Education, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and Inclusive UCC. Each panelist will address one of the questions above, while all will address the SoTL imperative.
The SEAI Fellowship pilot programme will provide the opportunity for postdoctoral or experienced researchers to apply for research fellowship positions based within SEAI.

Skills for Prosperity Kenya: Repurposing OER to deliver a large-scale nationa...Beck Pitt
"Skills for Prosperity Kenya: Repurposing OER to deliver a large-scale national professional development training" was presented at OER22 on 28 April 2022 (Open in Action theme).
Abstract:
Enhancing and scaling online education as a key route to improving access to Higher Education is a priority for the Kenyan government (Kenya Vision 2030). The Open University (UK) as a part of The Skills for Prosperity, Kenya (SFPK) programme funded by Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is leading a national initiative to build the capacity of higher education staff in digital education (The Institute of Educational Technology, 2021a). This initiative runs across all 37 public universities in Kenya and involves offering a large scale supported online training that aims to develop the knowledge and skills of educators, educational leaders and support staff to deliver online education.
The online training programme (The Institute of Educational Technology, 2021b) includes a course supported by webinars, expert talks, mentoring sessions and an online community of practice. Universities are also working on a range of digital education capacity building projects, based on their university’s needs. These projects offer the opportunity to put knowledge and skills into practice.
This session will explore how an existing open course has been reused and repurposed to offer professional development at a national level (The Institute of Educational Technology, 2021c). It will also explore how this OER will be reused and localised by course participants, to offer training to staff across their institution. During this presentation we will focus on sharing insights and lessons learnt from the process of reusing and localising OER. This session will be of particular interest to anyone interested in the creation and remix of OER, digital education initiatives and/or supporting colleagues within diverse contexts.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

SEAI Education & Youth Programme and Objectives
SEAI’s Education & Youth Programme started in 1995
SEAI Education and Youth Programme aims to raise the
awareness among children and young people in Ireland
about sustainable energy as a key pillar of climate
action.
Currently, SEAI’s Education & Youth Programme offers a
range of curriculum linked energy and climate action resources
anda well-established national education outreach programme
that offers curriculum linked energy and climate action
workshops from Junior Infants to Transition Year.
These resources and workshops are highly regarded by the
teachers that use them.
9. SEAI Education & Youth Programme and Objectives
The aim of the SEAI Schools Programme workshops is to excite and inspire children
about energy, environment and climate change through inquiry-based science
education that is relevant in children’s everyday life .
SEAI’s Education & Youth Programme aims to become a leader in sustainable
energy and climate change education for young people reaching all levels of
education sectors from Early Years to Transition year and education through
Irish language.
For our programme to have the capacity to create a greater understanding of
sustainable energy and its importance to combatting climate change and to
encourage positive behavioural change across the youth population, we need to
substantially increase the reach and awareness of SEAI Schools Workshops
Programme by building on existing relationships and establishing new ones
