Presentation given 4th of November, 2008, at Ed Commons/OISE/University of Toronto. Video with slides here: http://142.150.98.64/OISE/20081105-130810-1/rnh.htm
After several centuries of relative stability, the ways in which knowledge is created, consumed, and shared today are rapidly changing. These changes are enabled in part by networking tools and new modes of social production, and in part by the growing movement towards open access to the scholarly literature and educational resources. While innovative pedagogical and scholarly practices are flourishing as a result of open sharing and social learning, there remains serious intellectual, social, institutional and policy barriers to participation.
What then are the key challenges to scholarship in the digital age? What happens when scholars share research openly through institutional repositories, open access journals, and other social platforms such as wikis and blogs? What are the rewards of scholarship and teaching in an open access knowledge ecology? What kind of institutional support and incentives need to be put in place?
The goal of the presentation is not to prescribe answers, but to prompt debates and dialogues on how best to take full advantage of what the open access knowledge environment has to offer.

Introducing the Open Access Network ARCS 2015K|N Consultants
The Open Access Network (OAN) is a transformative model of open access (OA) publishing and preservation that encourages partnerships among scholarly societies, research libraries, and other institutional partners (e.g., collaborative e-archives and university presses) who share a common mission to support the creation and distribution of research and scholarship and encourage affordable education.
The OAN includes a plan to convert traditional subscription publication formats, including society- or university press–published journals and books or monographs, to OA; however, our ultimate goal is to provide an approach to funding that is fair and open and fully sustains the infrastructure needed to support the full life-cycle for communication of the scholarly record, including new and evolving forms of research output. Simply put, we intend to Make Knowledge Public.

The Next Decade of Open Access: Moving Beyond Traditional Forms and Functions...Leslie Chan
Keynote presentation at the 3º Simpósio Brasileiro de Comunicação Científica: Perspectivas em Acesso Aberto, http://www.sbcc.ufsc.br 05 e 06 de junho de 2012, Florianópolis (SC) – Brasil.
2012 marks the tenth anniversary of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, a declaration that provided a formal definition of Open Access (OA) and a set of strategies for archiving OA. This talk begins with a review of the major milestones of achievement over the last decade, both globally and with specific attention to Brazil and Latin America, followed by identification of key areas of research communication that remained to be improved. These areas include infrastructural development for e-research, more diverse and transparent metrics for evaluating scholarship, funding and institutional policy alignment, and new forms of scholarly practices and representation. Examples from these areas will be highlighted, with emphasis on areas of collaboration between information scientists and scholars from various fields.

Doing More with Less:The Crisis, Cooperation, and the Librarykramsey
The current financial situation has forced many libraries to pay unprecedented attention to how they are organized to achieve their missions. One common thread emerging in the responses is cooperation: those needing to cut costs sharply are finding that they cannot do so incrementally but must instead transform their activities in ways that spread cost and diffuse risk among many partners. The talk will cover some of the opportunities available for transformative institutional collaboration among libraries, including collaborative, open source software development as well as the challenges facing those attempting to collaborate. It will pay particular attention to the question of how to collaborate strategically: that is, how to ensure that collaboration retains or increases a library’s ability to pursue mission, enhance agility, increase sovereignty, and improve sustainability.
Open Learning Analytics panel at Open Education Conference 2014Stian Håklev
The past five years have seen a dramatic growth in interest in the emerging field of Learning Analytics (LA), and particularly in the potential the field holds to address major challenges facing education. However, much of the work in the learning analytics landscape today is closed in nature, small in scale, tool- or software-centric, and relatively disconnected from other LA initiatives. This lack of collaboration, openness, and system integration often leads to fragmentation where learning data cannot be aggregated across different sources, institutions only have the option to implement "closed" systems, and cross disciplinary research opportunities are limited. Beyond the immediate concerns this fragmentation creates for educators and learners, a closed approach dramatically limits our ability to build upon successes, learn from failures and move beyond the "pockets of excellence (and failures)? approach that typifies much of the educational technology landscape.
The potential benefits of openness as a core value within the learning analytics community are numerous. Learning initiatives could be informed by large scale research projects. Open-source software, such as dashboards and analytics engines, could be available free of licensing costs and easily enhanced by others, and OERs could become more personalized to match learners' needs. Open data sets and reproducible papers could rapidly spread understanding of analytical approaches, enabling secondary analysis and comparison across research projects. To realize this future, leaders within the learning analytics, open technologies (software, standards, etc.), open research (open data, open predictive models, etc.) and open learning (OER, MOOCs, etc.) fields have established a "network of practice" aimed at connecting subject matter experts, projects, organizations and companies working in these domains. As an initial organizing event, these leaders organized an Open Learning Analytics (OLA) Summit directly following the 2014 Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) conference this past March as means to further the goal of establishing "openness' as a core value of the larger learning analytics movement. Additional details on the Summit and those involved can be found at: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/04/prweb11754343.htm.
This panel session will bring together several thought leaders from the Open Learning Analytics community who participated in the Summit to facilitate an interactive dialog with attendees on the intersection of learning analytics and open learning, open technologies, open data, and open research. The presenters represent a broad range of experience with institutional analytics projects, an open source development consortium, the sharing of open learner data, and academic research on open learning environments.

Grappling with ideas: divergence and convergenceStian Håklev
What does brainstorming, workshops with sticky notes, small online group learning and big distributed networks of researchers have in common? They are all grappling with big ideas, and trying to make sense of them. This talk identifies some common principles of idea-centric learning, and brings in examples from the learning sciences literature to discuss how the design of a collaborative platform can affect the direction and quality of the discourse that happens.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

27. “The mission of MIT is to advance knowledge and educate
students in science, technology, and other areas of
scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in
the 21st century.
The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and
preserving knowledge, and to working with others to bring

28. Mission
The University of Toronto is committed to being an internationally significant
research university, with undergraduate, graduate and professional programs of
excellent quality.
Purpose of the University
The University of Toronto is dedicated to fostering an academic community in
which the learning and scholarship of every member may flourish, with vigilant
protection for individual human rights, and a resolute commitment to the principles
of equal opportunity, equity and justice.
Within the unique university context, the most crucial of all human rights are the
rights of freedom of speech, academic freedom, and freedom of research. And we
affirm that these rights are meaningless unless they entail the right to raise deeply
disturbing questions and provocative challenges to the cherished beliefs of society
at large and of the university itself.
It is this human right to radical, critical teaching and research with which the
University has a duty above all to be concerned; for there is no one else, no other
institution and no other office, in our modern liberal democracy, which is the
custodian of this most precious and vulnerable right of the liberated human spirit.
http://www.utoronto.ca/aboutuoft/missionandpurpose.htm
29. Why is OA important?
For
the public:
• Right to know
• Right to participate
• Right to public benefits
30. The Access Principle
“ … a commitment to the value and quality of research
carries with it a responsibility to extend the circulation of
this work as far as possible, and ideally to all who are
interested in it and all who might profit by it (John Willinsky,
2006,5)
31. But Price and Permission
Barriers restrict these benefits
33. Two primary ways to achieve OA
• Publishing in Open Access Journals, e.g.
Theoretical economics
Public Library of Science
• Self-archiving - depositing published articles or
pre-prints in institutional or subject repositories

one click away or closer than you will ever
click on, it's not enough to know that some
book is good. The least substitutable good
in the Internet era is the personal
relationship.
Conversation, not content, is king. “

60. Final thoughts
• Emergence of “social publishing”?
• Convergence with the other “open”
movements?
• Role of Google and Google Scholar?
• Will commercial publishers win out
again?
• Will the academic community be able to
design its own future?
