ePortfolios for Adults (and Other Humans) Don Presant
This document provides an overview of ePortfolios and their uses for adult learners. EPortfolios can be used for both formal learning purposes, such as submitting assignments or applying for academic credit, as well as informal purposes like career development, tracking continuing education, and creating an online archive of personal documents and learning resources. The document discusses how ePortfolios have transformed from static resumes and CVs to dynamic personal learning environments that support lifelong, lifewide learning. It also presents examples of how ePortfolios are being implemented for adults in schools, colleges, and workforce training programs in Manitoba.

05_Mature Workers program at Algonquin by Denyce DiakunDon Presant
Algonquin College is committed to recognizing prior experiential learning through its Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process. This helps reduce barriers to education for an increasingly diverse student population. The college has assigned personnel to champion the RPL process and provide intake and referral services to help students identify goals and available college resources. The RPL approach involves self-understanding, empowerment, and understanding one's skills in relation to workforce needs. It provides tools to help students get "unstuck" and realize their untapped potential for navigating their careers.
The document discusses programs and initiatives in Canada and Australia that support employment opportunities for mature workers. Some key points:
- The Best Employers Award for 50 Plus Canadians recognizes organizations with effective programs for employing mature workers. Previous winners include hospitals, retailers, and government agencies.
- Australia provides various services through organizations like Centrelink and Job Services Australia to help mature job seekers, including training programs, small business assistance, apprenticeship incentives, and on-the-job support.
- The Workplace Institute's 45+ Engagement Model identifies factors like financial guidance, work-life balance, training, and recognition that can increase mature workers' engagement and productivity.
This document discusses simulation reports for CAPLA 2010 and focuses on the mature worker and recognizing prior learning. It outlines developing a vision and plan for recognizing prior learning for mature workers and implementing that recognition plan.
This document lists the names and organizations of 27 participants who attended the CAPLA 2010 workshop on the mature worker and recognition of prior learning held on November 7, 2010 in various locations across Canada.
The document discusses a panel on mature workers that took place in Ottawa on November 7, 2010. It describes ESPORT, a tool that helps mature workers explore career options by assessing their essential skills and matching those skills to job requirements. ESPORT identifies other jobs that match a user's interests, narrows options to available opportunities, demonstrates existing skills that relate to target occupations, and provides online learning to address any skills gaps. Panelists learned that mature workers appreciate seeing how their lifetime of skills transfer, and that ESPORT should be implemented as part of a concrete career plan with facilitator support.

Open Badges - Milestones for Learning and CareersDon Presant
Originally developed for the CAPLA 2015 Conference and updated several time since then, this fast-paced presentation explores evolving global practices for digital credentialing systems using the Mozilla Open Badges standard.
It frames the needs, outlines how Open Badges meet those needs, then provides living examples, case studies, and active research across a wide variety of contexts.
Open Badges are used as digital credentials by educators, professional bodies and employers around the world because they provide a better way to recognize learning, especially learning that takes place outside a classroom. They are trustable quality tokens of skills and achievements that can be displayed in e-portfolios and social media.
Open Badges are modular and ”stackable”: they can be linked together into flexible development pathways and can support Competency Based Education and RPL.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
