I delivered this talk via video conference to a 3-university meeting attempting to define a common standard for quality in online teaching. I looked at quality from perspective of Three Generations of Onlien Pedagogy. I may have just shared my mixed feelings about quality control systems in these slides

Historical perspective.
International Council for Correspondence Education (ICCE) 1972.
.. the universe of instruction consists of two families of teaching behaviors, … "contiguous teaching" and "distance teaching."
distance teaching:
"instructional methods in which the teaching behaviors are executed apart from the learning behaviors,.. so that communication …must be facilitated by print, electronic, mechanical, or other devices."
“… we should direct resources to the macro-factors: describing and defining the field; discriminating between the various components of this field; … building a theoretical framework...”
This workshop offers participants a hands-on introduction to the concepts and practices of digital pedagogy. We discuss the intersections between “online,” “hybrid,” and “digital” with regards to learning approaches and environments. And we launch into an exploration of assignment design, creative assessment, and digital tools. This workshop is suitable for educators--teachers, librarians, instructional designers, technologists, and others--at all levels who have an interest in exploring new techniques for digital teaching and learning.
A brief introduction to transactional distance and equivalency theories, two theories useful to the design, implementation, and evaluation of distance or online education. This deck was drawn from a lesson I used in teaching an online course on "Distance Education Research and Design."
These are sldies from keynote at TCC2013, the 18th annual online conference hosted from Hawaii. These are mostly a remix of ideas from my 3 Generations of Online pedagogy and EQiv theories with examples from MOOCs

What does the future of design for online learning look like? Emerging techno...George Veletsianos
These are the slides of an invited talk I gave at ICEM 2012. The session was described as follows: What will we observe if we take a long pause and examine the practice of online education today? What do emerging technologies, openness, Massive Open Online Courses, and digital scholarship tell us about the future that we are creating for learners, faculty members, and learning institutions? And what does entrepreneurial activity worldwide surrounding online education mean for the future of education and design? In this talk, I will discuss a number of emerging practices relating to online learning and online participation in a rapidly changing world and explain their implications for design practice. Emerging practices (e.g., open courses, researchers who blog, students who use social media to self-organize) can shape our teaching/learning practice and teaching/learning practice can shape these innovations. By examining, critiquing, and understanding these practices we will be able to understand potential futures for online learning and be better informed on how we can design effective and engaging online learning experiences. This talk will draw from my experiences and research on online learning, openness, and digital scholarship, and will present recent evidence detailing how researchers, learners, educators are creating, sharing, and negotiating knowledge and education online.
Theoretical and Empirical Foundations of Connected Learning at Virginia Commo...Laura Gogia
Presentation given for VCU School of Social Work on January 20, 2016 on the approach to connected learning promoted by VCU Academic Learning Transformation Lab
Dr. Cable Green, Director of Open Education at Creative Commons, provides an overview of open licensing and OER which can be applied to CBHE projects, and practical examples on how to deal with the Erasmus+ Open Access requirement, in terms of how to use Creative Commons licenses, an overview of the 6 type of CC licenses, and which types of license are suitable for OER to ensure that publicly funded materials provide value to the general public and to ensure long-term access to the results.
OpenMed is an international cooperation project cofunded by the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education programme of the European Union during the period 15 October 2015 – 14 October 2018.
It explores the adoption of strategies and channels that embrace the principles of openness and reusability within the context of South-Mediterranean universities.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
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.
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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

5. I began with a question:
In academic settings in which the use of OEP is
not required, requested, expected, or
specifically supported, why do some educators,
and not others, choose to use OEP?
(...and then what happens?)
6. Openness and praxis:
Exploring the use of
open educational practices (OEP)

9. An important question becomes not simply whether
education is more or less open, but what forms of
openness are worthwhile and for whom;
openness alone is not an educational virtue.
Richard Edwards (2015)
“
critical approaches to openness
A roaming autodidact is a self-motivated, able learner that is
simultaneously embedded in technocratic futures and
disembedded from place, cultural, history, and markets...
As a result of designing for the roaming autodidact, we end up
with a platform that understands learners as white and male,
measuring learners’ task efficiencies against an unarticulated
norm of western male whiteness.
“
Tressie McMillan Cottom (2015)
10. RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
1. In what ways do academic staff use OEP for teaching?

educators, if any?
RESEARCH SETTING:
One higher education institution in Ireland, without OER/OEP policy.
RESEARCH APPROACH:
Interpretivist, critical, empirical
METHODOLOGY/METHODS:
Constructivist grounded theory (Charmaz, 2014); semi-structured
interviews with 19 members of academic staff across multiple
disciplines & all ranges of practice – plus a broader survey.
