Mainstreaming Open Educational Resources - General Conclusions of the Policy ...Anthony Fisher Camilleri
The powerpoint summarises the general conclusions of the Seminar organised by the OPAL and CONCEDE Projects, held at UNESCO on 18th November 2011, on the topic of Mainstreaming Open Educational Practices.
In three parts the presentation considers:
What challenges are there in assessing the new European Standard and Guideline for Quality Assurance in Higher Education on Student Centred Learning?
What indicators an be used to measured Student Centred Learning in Higher Education Institutions?
What does an increased focus on student-centred learning mean for the Higher Education sector more generally?
Presented at the PASCL Final Conference in Brussels on 27/05/2016
Everyone agrees that academic departments and central services need to apply joined-up procedures and to work collaboratively, but in reality, frustrating misunderstandings often come between these two interdependent parts of the university. This session will describe a number of initiatives developed at the University of Kent, under the common banner of “Excellence through Partnerships”, which are all aimed at fostering a better understanding between academic schools and central services by enhancing the relationships between professional colleagues in both areas. The presenter will show why and how these initiatives were developed and implemented, discuss their degree of success and suggest learning points that have emerged from the experience. One of the initiatives presented will be a job-shadowing scheme which, the project team believe, proved successful on a second attempt, thanks to its innovative format. Participants will also be given an opportunity to share similar schemes or initiatives introduced in their own institutions and to describe the success and/or problems they have encountered.

Professor Helen Marshall, Vice-Chancellor of University of Salford, delivered a keynote focused on delivering a better support of widening participation in Universities. Current agendas that seek to promote “widening participation” and the development of skilled as well as knowledgeable graduates mean that universities need to take a step back to re-examine and challenge traditional curriculum design and delivery models. This paper explores the current landscape and requirements such as modularisation, credits, learning outcomes and levels and how those support and/or constrain curriculum design and delivery that engages and develops students who come from backgrounds that are mixed in terms of previous educational experience, socio-economic class and cultural heritage. The central theme is to challenge perceptions that certain approaches to curriculum design and delivery are not possible because of these requirements.

Driving student outcomes and success: What’s next for the retention pilot pro...LearningandTeaching
As part of the Navitas 2020 Strategic Project on Retention, Learning and Teaching Services has been investigating and evaluating current practice both within our colleges and externally, developing a Retention Driver Tree to identify the activities that make a difference to the student experience.
In a recent webinar, Maria Spies and Suneeti Rekhari unpacked retention strategies and explored deeper into the impact of current retention pilots at Deakin and La Trobe Colleges.
Maria Spies outlined the Retention Driver Tree and the factors contributing to student experience and success. Suneeti Rekhari explained the processes used to plan, implement and evaluate the retention interventions, and the early indicators and outcomes emerging from the Colleges. Through this presentation, they discussed what these initial findings mean for the Retention Driver Tree and the next steps in addressing retention.

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.

Will a focus on OER practices lead to improvements in quality and innovation?
