We all use personal networks every day, but businesses have been slower to embrace and engage with the Networked Economy.
In this session James Marland will look at the historical and cultural contexts of networks to see what Business can learn as they move into a Networked Age. How do Big Data, Social and the Collaborative Economy fit into a Business context?
Introduces the idea of "Just Enough Code" -- to add a 2- or 3-week module on Web coding into courses like editing, or design, or multimedia. There are 2 reasons to do this. One is to demystify how Web and mobile sites are made. The other is to open a door -- for (at least) some students -- to something they might really have an aptitude for, something they might really enjoy, if you just have a chance to explore it.
Cyberspace is a domain characterized by the use of electronics and the electromagnetic spectrum to store, modify, and exchange data via networked systems and associated physical infrastructures.
Overview of legal and financial risk-management considerations in financing international business transactions. In other words, "How to Get Paid, or Get what you Pay For in International Business".

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.

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.

2. Information Production
► “Non-market” production – e.g., “Not for
sale”; not Big Business
► Peer production and sharing
Open source software – one example
► “Less dependence on commercial mass
media” (p. 9)
► Why is this possible now? Why was it not
possible earlier?
3. Information “Products”
► Writing:Stories, novels, journalism, blogs
► Music: Songs, recordings, MP3 files
► Movies: On DVD, on film, as downloads
► TV programs, news, entertainment
► Radio programs
► Photographs: All formats
► Software: As downloads or on CDs
► Graphics, illustrations, maps
4. Networked Information Economy
►A system of production, distribution, and
consumption of information goods
► Characterized by:
Decentralized individual action
Wildly distributed, non-market means
Not dependent on market strategies
► “The market” = capitalism, up to now
5. ► Division of labor leads to
increased productivity
► Governments help progress
best when they permit
laissez-faire markets
► The “invisible hand” of the
market moves toward the
The Wealth of Nations, good of everyone
Adam Smith (1776)
► What benefits those who
reap large profits will
benefit society as a whole
10. Democratic Countries
Out of a total of 192 countries in the world …
► 122 countries are electoral democracies
► 89 countries are “free” (46 percent of the
world’s population)

House, 2005

11. Source: Annual “Freedom in the World” survey by Freedom
House, 2005

12. What is this difference
between “free”
and “democratic”?
13. Liberal Democracy
► “Ifa country holds competitive, multiparty
elections, we call it democratic”
(Zakaria, 1997)
► “Constitutional liberalism … is not about the
procedures for selecting government …”
Liberal: An emphasis on individual liberty
Constitutional: The rule of law
► Nothing to do with Liberal vs. Conservative
14. If people depend
on information products
for their individual well-being,
does a market economy
for information products
interfere with
their rights as citizens
in a democratic society?
15. Decentralization
vs. the old mass media model
► Production and distribution of --
Information
Culture
Knowledge
► These have been concentrated in fewer
and fewer hands, over time
► Giant multinational corporations own
the majority of media companies
16.
17. Economics (1)
► Information is “non-rival”
You give it away to other people, and you still
have it
► Industrial
goods (such as cars) are “rival”
► To make profit from non-rival goods, a
commercial entity puts constraints on them
E.g., copyrights and trademarks
► Benefits not only the seller -- also the
creator (such as a writer or musician)
18. A Balancing Act
► Controllinginformation goods (such as
books and videos) makes possible the
production of more
► Too much control, however, would lead to
less production
► Why? Because … existing information goods
are used in the production of new ones --
“standing on the shoulders of giants”
(Benkler, pp. 37-39)
19. When to Let Go
► Innovation might be more profitable than
repeated revenues from the same old stuff
(e.g., Disney animated films)
► Charging for custom work or consulting
might be more profitable if you give some
things away for free (e.g., lawyers)
► Putting clips on YouTube might bring more
people into the movie theater
20. Why would a movie studio order the removal of a movie trailer?
21. Economics (2)
► Music business as an example: Huge
expenses to produce and promote a new
album
► Costs associated with physical production
(e.g., CDs) and physical distribution
► In contrast, a band can produce an album
cheaply, without a contract
► Distribution online – very low costs
22. You might care more
about low start-up costs
and less
about large outputs
23. Inputs to Information Production
1. Existing information, culture, and
knowledge (all are “non-rival” goods)
2. Mechanical and physical means for
capturing, processing, producing the new
items
3. Human communicative capacity: creativity,
skill, experience, and cultural savvy
(Benkler, p. 52)
24. Motivations
► People create and share new information
for many different reasons
► Not all of these are material
► Not all creative efforts are made for the
sake of money … or even fame
► “You have to play to win”? Maybe … you
have to give to get
25.
26. If the Internet is governed
as a commons,
will everything turn out okay?
27. Enclosure of the Commons
► Middle Ages, Europe: “Commons” were
shared lands
► Villagers used them to hunt, plant crops,
gather firewood
► “Enclosure” in one sense is building fences
► Enclosure is also private ownership
► What once was free and open to all
becomes property of one
28. “... Each man is locked into a system
that compels him to increase his herd
without limit -- in a world
that is limited. Ruin is the destination
toward which all men rush,
each pursuing his own best interest
in a society that believes
in the freedom of the commons.
Freedom in a commons
brings ruin to all.”
(Hardin, 1968)
29. Open Source (1)
► The creator retains copyright
► But … the creator licenses the product for
(re-)use by anyone
► You can copy, distribute, and modify it
► But … the copies you distribute MUST allow
everyone else to do the same
► You retain copyright on your own
contributions
30. Open Source (2)
► You can sell it, if you
want to (e.g. Red Hat
Linux)
► No bosses, deadlines, or
schedules
► Unmanaged collaboration
► As of July 2002, the Linux
OS listed 418
contributors from 35
countries
31. 3 Functions in the Process
► Utter (or create) content
Mark or classify craters on a map of Mars
Write a new Wikipedia article
► Assess relevance and credibility
Rate or criticize the content
Allow it to pass through a filter or “gate”
► Distribute the content; add value
Pass it on, e.g. by linking to it
Possibly enhance or improve the content
35. Who Can Play?
► Benkler doesn’t ask this question in pp. 1-90
► All this peer-produced information comes
from whom? People who …
Have free time
Have computer access
Are literate and technology-literate
► Who can benefit?
Anyone … who has access
