This was a talk I gave at the Nelson Institute Center for Culture, History, and Environment Symposium at UW-Madison on February 11, 2017. It tells the story of my process for mapping the Great Sioux Nation as determined by the Fort Laramie treaties of 1851 and 1868.

Crowdsourced and ‘volunteered’ geographic information are concepts that have become of great interest to cartographers and GIScience professionals. Maps that rely on user-contributed data, called wikimaps, are becoming more mainstream and represent a major player in the future of web cartography. The most cited example, OpenStreetMap, now has a community of over 1.6 million users. But many questions remain about how such maps should be designed: How should such data be symbolized? How can it be judged for quality? How should ethics be applied in light of privacy concerns? How small-d ‘democratic’ is the crowd really, and how are crowdsourced maps really being used? These are just a few. This talk presents my experience to date creating and using wikimaps, with a focus on preliminary conclusions and questions for further investigation.

Do you choose Openlayers or Leaflet to generate maps on your websites because that's what you always choose?
Is one better than the other?
We will take a few use cases and show how they could be build with both Openlayers and Leaflet, and discuss what criteria could be to choose either.

Drs. Jere Confrey and Seth Jones present "Linking Math Standards and Diagnostic Assessments around Learning Trajectories" at the Middle School Math Summit, in Greensboro, NC.
The aim of our study is to extract the profiles of students activities, performed during the training sessions of a course of logic networks, and to relate such activities with the students’ performance at intermediate verification tests. In this course, undergraduate students learn and practice the concepts of logic networks with Deeds Simulator.
The Deeds is a set of educational tools for digital electronics, which stands for "Digital Electronics Education and Design Suite". It is used in courses of Electronic Engineering at DITEN, UNIGE.
By applying learning analytics methods to the data captured from activity logs and questionnaires, we aim to understand the learning behavior of students.
This project was presented at Learning Analytics Data Sharing – LADS14 Workshop at EC-TEL.
Dr. Jere Confrey explains the challenges of building and implementing learning trajectory-aligned diagnostic assessments for early algebra, grades 6-8.
Learning Trajectory-Aligned Diagnostic Assessments for Early Algebra, Grades ...Basia Coulter
A learning trajectory connects what students bring to instruction, to a target concept, and delineates a set of landmarks and obstacles that students are likely to encounter as they move from naïve to sophisticated understandings.
Numeracy Ultranet Spaces -Part1
Why would we look at Numeracy Spaces in the Ultranet? What are the benefits gained from such Spaces for planning our curriculum?
This session shows how PLTs can work together effectively to unpack exemplar Numeracy Spaces in the Ultranet identifying key elements that can be used as a springboard to support current curriculum foci.
This study analyses students’ perceptions of how the collaborative construction of a project online facilitates the acquisition of digital competences. The authors (María Pérez-Mateo, Marc Romero and Teresa Romeu) examine the methodological approach, within the context of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Open University of Catalonia, UOC), of the subject: ICT Competences. This subject is conducted fully online at the UOC, and learners are required to engage in a collaborative project organized in 4 phases: Starting, Structuring, Developing, Concluding. Based on an evaluation research approach, quantitative and qualitative data from a survey have been triangulated. The conclusions
reinforce the importance of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) processes,
the need to put forward pedagogical proposals for the acquisition of both digital and collaborative
competences and the relevant role of the teacher in this process.
This presentation sketches how evaluation can be embedded into learning design and provide smart ways for monitoring learning behaviours in order to monitor the comprehension and transformation.

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.

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

Editor's Notes
For the Fall 2014 iteration of the course, we used a scaffolded approach to identify the scope and sequence of course topics and teaching methods that we would use to achieve the desired learning outcomes. Students were first assigned an online JavaScript tutorial to complete before the first lab period in order to introduce them to basic programming concepts. The first few lab periods were entirely instructor-led demonstrations of how to set up components of a development environment and some basic markup and scripting concepts. This doesn’t perfectly match the web mapping workflow, but notice that each lesson topic deals with only one or two parts of the workflow in isolation. The second week was all about data, a module that the 2013 iteration of the course completely lacked. As the course progressed from there, the topics became more integrated across the workflow, and less lab time was spent on direct instruction and more on individualized assistance with the lab assignments. The D3 lessons were carefully scripted to start with introducing how D3 thinks about data, move up through methods used to create and manipulate SVG elements, and finally cover more complex generator and geography methods. Because of the regular informal assessment of student progress conducted throughout the class, we found it necessary in Week 9 to review several concepts introduced earlier in the course. After that, students worked independently in groups on their final projects, with only minimal help from the instructor.
Questions?
Now let’s look at some of the work that came out of the course. Here is a screenshot of an example final project created using Leaflet. It was created at the request of a French professor who wanted to analyze the pattern of places in a novel about the tenth arrondissement of Paris. It allows users to filter by the type of location as labeled in the book and play through all of the locations sequencing by page number.
This final project was created using D3. The students who did this one were inspired by the NACIS-award-winning map “50 Years of Change” created by their peers in 2013. But the design of the site was very much their own; they choose to use the Bootstrap framework and include a tremendous amount of meticulously researched information along with the map demonstrating spatial and temporal patterns of laws restricting access to abortion.
