What does good course design look like to you - Alex Wu, BlackboardBlackboard APAC
Course design is undoubtedly a critical element of any online or blended learning environment. As academics and instructional designers, we often associate course design with teaching and learning outcomes that are course- and program-specific and are aligned specifically to graduate attributes or goals. In this session, we will instead take a deconstructive approach to analyse each of the main tool groups within Blackboard Learn and Collaborate, and showcase some unique tool deployment use-cases from clients around the globe. We will also touch on using the same tools in research and grant management to discuss how both teaching and research departments could cross benefit from using the same platform within an institution.

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.
it describes the bony anatomy including the femoral head , acetabulum, labrum . also discusses the capsule , ligaments . muscle that act on the hip joint and the range of motion are outlined. factors affecting hip joint stability and weight transmission through the joint are summarized.

“A person undergoing training for
a particular job or profession”
Inherently a temporary position
Postdocs, graduate students,
undergraduate students
Our role: facilitate their transition
to the next stage
3. Mentoring Trainees in Research3
What is Mentoring in Research?
Education: theoretical principles

- Give substantial responsibility in project: successful postdocs will rise to the
challenge
- Provide opportunity to develop their own ideas: this is what they need to succeed
in independent research position
- Should be able to manage multiple projects at once
- My philosophy: start with 75-100% on ongoing lab project, and then transition to
increased independent work (can be based on rate of success in projects and
securing fellowships)
7. Mentoring Trainees in Research7
Mentoring Postdocs
Goal: Progression from more to less supervised research
Communication
