Texas Rangers to the rescue: turning your VLE into an exam centreBlackboardEMEA
If one tries to meet the ever growing demand to replace the cumbersome exams on paper with a digital version, the obvious choice to use the assessment tools of the virtual learning environment (VLE) may not be as obvious as one might think.
The modern VLE’s are increasingly ‘open’, ‘searchable’ and ‘connected’ with the outside world AKA The Cloud. On the other hand ‘restriction’ or ‘control’ is a key concept for exams. First of all for students, control means: a simple workflow, so that the sole focus can be on answering the questions. And for staff, this means control the access to the exam ‘room’, restrict or block access to documentation sources (including the ‘regular’ VLE content ), monitor the progress of students and detect impostors. At KU Leuven, we have attempted to impose this level of control to our Blackboard Learn deployment by using some simple tools. Our solution was dubbed Texas (Toledo EXams Advanced System) as a working title and is a combination of front-end (Javascript, CSS) and backend (Java) technologies based on opensource libraries and the Blackboard API’s. First of all it compromises a dedicated theme, which among others strips down the course menu to the bare minimum, and simplifies the process of taking
assessments. Also, we built a ‘dashboard’ tool for staff to control the access of students to the exam, monitor student progress and to detect impostors based on IP addresses, login times, et cetera.

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.
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.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
1. The new Open edX Cypress Release brings several new enhancements across certification,
learner profiles, cohorts and a lot more. Here's an overview of new features available.
Badges
Learners can now use badges as a way to share their achievements of the Open edX
courses they have completed. Enable badges to allow learners to show off their
accomplishments when they receive their certificates.
Cohorts
Course teams now create and manage cohorts on the Instructor Dashboard in the LMS,
instead of on the Advanced Settings page in Studio. Course teams can use the new
Cohorts page there to add and rename cohorts, change a cohort’s assignment method,
associate cohorts with content groups, and specify whether coursewide and
contentspecific discussions are divided by cohort.
Course Certificates
You can now create one certificate configuration per course. This configuration serves
as the template for certificates issued for all of the enrollment tracks available for your
course (such as “honor code” or “verified”). Honor code certificates use the organization
logo and signatory information, but do not include signature images, which are used only
for verified certificates.
Course Search
2. Learners can now search much of the content of your Open edX courses, including the
course title, description, text, and video transcripts. Learners can search for a term in an
individual course, or for that term in all of the courses that the learner is enrolled in,
whether the course is active or archived.
When the search engine returns results, either for an individual course or across all
courses, you can select any search result to view that result in the courseware.
Creative Commons
Course teams can now specify either “All Rights Reserved” or a Creative Commons
license for a course. Course teams can also select different license options for each
video.
Custom Courses
Course teams can create a custom course experience (CCX) to reuse course content.
By using a CCX, course teams can run some or all of an existing course for a group of
students on a new schedule.
Grade Report Enhancements
The grade report now includes new columns with certificate status and enrollment track
information. When course teams generate the grade report from the Instructor
Dashboard, they can see the following additional information for each learner.
● Enrollment track, to identify the learner’s enrollment mode as honor, verified, or
3. professional education.
● Verification status, to identify learners in the verified or professional track who
have completed identity verification with edX.
● Certificate eligibility status, to identify learners who have earned the passing
grade in the course at the time of the grade report generation.
● Certificate delivery status, to identify learners who have received their
certificates.
● The type of certificate, for learners who are eligible to receive a certificate.
Feedback and Hints in Common Problems
Course teams can now add feedback, hints, or both to the following problem types.
● Checkbox
● Dropdown
● Multiple choice
● Numerical input
● Text input
In Studio, course teams can use new templates to add sample problems that use the
feedback and hint syntax.
HTML Spell Check in Studio
When you edit an HTML component in Studio, an automated spell checker indicates any
misspelled words. The spell checker automatically uses the dictionary that is set for your
4. browser.
Learner Profiles
With the new Open edX Learner Profile feature, course teams and learners can share
information about themselves with the community. The profile can include an image that
identifies the user on the Open edX site as well as the user’s location and other
biographical information. Course teams and other learners in the course can view others’
profiles.
LTI Provider
New options that leverage learning tools interoperability (LTI) are available in this
release.
Previously, course teams could use Studio as a tool consumer: course teams could set
up an LTI component to embed external tools, such as learning applications and
textbooks, into an edX course.
Now, course teams can identify content from their edX courses to embed with other
content on their campus systems. Teams can specify the course units, videos, and
graded and ungraded problems that already exist in an edX course for launch within a
campus LMS such as Blackboard or Canvas. Student scores for graded content are
transferred to the campus system.
Authentication between the campus system and the edX system that provides the
content can be configured either to anonymously provision students or to prompt for
5. account creation.
New Studio Templates
This release includes new templates for HTML and problem components. These
templates provide updated guidelines and examples, accessibility information, and links
to documentation.
Original Open Response Assessment Problems Deprecated
When you access a course that contains an open response assessment created using
the original version of this assignment type (ORA 1), Studio now displays the message,
“This course uses features that are no longer supported.”
A newer version of the open response assessments feature (ORA 2) was released over
a year ago, and the ability to add ORA 1 problems was removed from Studio in May
2014.
Poll and Survey Tools
Course teams can now include two new types of components in your courses.
● Use the Poll tool to pose a question to learners and have them select an answer
from a set list.
● Use the Survey tool to pose multiple questions to learners and have them select
an answer for each question from a set list.
When polls and surveys are included in a course, course teams can analyze the
6. responses and also choose whether to let learners see the aggregate answers for the
class.
Problem Appearance Changes
To make the Open edX LMS easier to use on mobile devices, the appearance of
common problem types has changed. For example, a border surrounds options for
multiple choice and checkbox problems, and the entire area within the border is
selectable, making it easier for learners to select an option.
Problem Grade Report
For any course, course teams can now calculate grades for problems and generate a
report that can be downloaded from the Instructor Dashboard. This new report includes,
for each graded problem, a learner’s earned and possible points, and her total score,
expressed as a decimal.
Randomized Content Blocks
Course teams can now include a new type of component, a randomized content block, in
their courses. These components randomly draw problems from a predefined library of
components and present them to learners.
Course teams create and maintain libraries of components separately from courses. All
of an organization’s course teams can work collaboratively to develop the problems that
the libraries contain. Each library can then be referenced by randomized content blocks
7. in any of that organization’s courses.
Report of Not-Yet Enrolled Students
Course teams for invitationonly courses can now track enrollment status from the
Instructor Dashboard. The Data Download page of the Instructor Dashboard now
includes a downloadable report of learners who have been invited to enroll in a course,
but who have not yet done so.
Third Party Authentication
To enhance sign in options for your users, you can enable third party authentication
between institutional authentication systems and your implementation of Open edX. After
you enable third party authentication and integrate with SAML or OAuth2 identity
providers, users can register and sign in to your Open edX site with their campus or
institutional credentials.
Uploading ORA2 Files to Alternative Storage Systems
By default, the Open Response Assessment (ORA2) application stores files that learners
upload in an Amazon S3 bucket.
With the Cypress release, you can configure ORA2 to store files in an alternate system.
To have learners’ files stored in a system other than Amazon S3, you must complete the
following steps.
● Implement the BaseBackend class defined in the base.py file.
● For example, the S3.py file in the same directory is an implementation of
8. BaseBackend for Amazon S3. You must implement the equivalent class for the
storage system you intend to use.
● Configure ORA2 to use your alternative storage system by modifying the value of
backend_setting in init file to point to your implementation of BaseBackend.
● Add code to instantiate the new implementation to the get_backend() in the
init.py file.
● Configure ORA2 to use the alternative storage system by modifying the value of
ORA2_FILEUPLOAD_BACKEND in the Django settings to point to your
implementation of BaseBackend.
YouTube API 3.0 API Key
The Open edX Platform uses Version 3 of the YouTube API, which requires that the
application use an API key.
If you intend for courses on your Open edX instance to include videos that are hosted on
YouTube, you must get a YouTube API key and set the key in the Open edX Platform.
Embedded Files and Calendars
Courses can include files, such as documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, and a
calendar. Your course team uses Google to create and maintain these files and
calendars. They appear in the body of your course just like any other course content.
If your course includes a Google calendar, you see that calendar in the body of the
course. You can also add it to your own Google calendar.
9. REST API Changes
EdX has built and published documentation for the following REST APIs, which are
available in the Open edX Cypress release.
● Course Structure API Version 0
● User API Version 1.0
● Profile Images API Version 1.0
Accessibility Updates
In keeping with edX’s commitment to creating accessible content for everyone,
everywhere, the Open edX Cypress release contains several accessibility
enhancements in the Open edX LMS and discussions.
● Keyboard navigation in open response assessments has been improved by restoring
keyboard focus outline indicators.
● The LMS now has a region with a role of main and a descriptive arialabel allowing users
to quickly navigate to the main content area using landmarks.
● Several accessibility problems with numerical input problem types are now corrected.
● A current status of the problem is now conveyed to learners who use screen readers
properly.
● The workflow for checking how ASCII math is converted to MathML or MathJax format
has been streamlined for screen reader users.
● Nonessential information is no longer included in arialive regions, which improves the
experience for screen reader users.
10. ● Improvements to the accessibility of discussion posts for screen reader users are
included in this release.
● HTML iframe elements now show meaningful title attributes that describe the content
embedded in the IFrame.
● The main blue colors used throughout the LMS user interface were changed to meet
WCAG AA guidelines for contrast.
● The LMS now includes an arialive region to contain HTML for problems.
● Submission buttons have been removed from the arialive div scope.
● Several accessibility fixes have been implemented in the course header.
● An aria label has been added to the LMS footer.
● The main region in the Student dashboard now includes the role and aria label
attributes.
● Navigation controls in the LMS now have arialabel attributes.
● Focus now changes directly to the content area after the user selects a link to a new
subsection or unit.
● Unit navigation links are reorganized into a single list. The arrow navigation is converted
from links to buttons and now includes the disabled attribute when appropriate.
● Labels to bypass blocks now use the industry standard text Skip to main content.
● The current discussion conversation now receives focus and includes an accessible
label.
● Discussions now include defined regions and landmarks for screen reader navigation.
11. The focus is on the discussion when a new topic is loaded, and changes to a new post
when it appears.
