The Role of Digital Literacy in Writing Instruction
This presentation represents the culmination of many years of research into and experience with incorporating digital literacy into writing instruction. I originally prepared the presentation for my colleagues in the Program for Writing and Rhetoric at CU Boulder, but it has also been used by other universities to help introduce writing faculty to the changing nature of literacy.
Badge your way to digital literacy
This document discusses using digital badges to assess students' development of digital literacy skills. It explains that digital badges provide evidence of skills earned through programs like a school's Digital Passport program. Badges contain metadata describing criteria, evidence of learning, and details. Open badges follow an interoperable standard and can represent a wide range of skills earned both in and out of school. The document advocates that digital badges can guide student learning, illustrate learning pathways, make skills more visible, and allow skills to transfer between contexts. It presents digital badges as having potential but still being in early stages of adoption in education.
Digital Literacy Skills
Digital literacy is the ability to understand and use information in multiple formats from various sources using computers. It requires critical thinking to solve technological problems. People must be able to recognize when information is needed, locate, evaluate, and effectively use the needed information. Digital literacy skills include defining information needs, accessing information, managing information, evaluating information and sources, integrating information from multiple sources, communicating information, and creating new information representations.
Digital Literacy Power Point
The document discusses digital literacy and its importance in education. It defines digital literacy as the ability to understand and use information from various digital sources in an ethical manner. It highlights how technology and digital tools can enhance learning by allowing collaboration, problem solving, and sharing of knowledge. The document advocates embracing technology and digital literacy to extend our own knowledge through hands-on and proactive learning approaches.

Is there a new cartography? - icc2013
Crowdsourcing and open data/tools have enabled the rise of neocartography, where non-traditional mapmakers create custom maps for various purposes. This new generation of mappers relies on crowdsourced data from sites like OpenStreetMap to make maps for advocacy, telling stories with data, and personal interests. Rather than focusing on design, neocartographers prioritize accessing and presenting data in new ways. This new approach has significantly diversified mapmaking since 2005.
Whats neo?
This document summarizes a discussion on neocartography and crowdsourcing. It discusses how neocartographers may not have traditional mapping backgrounds and use open data and tools. It also discusses how crowdsourcing is changing geospatial data by sourcing tasks to communities through open calls. Examples are given of crowdsourced mapping projects for disasters. Cloud computing is allowing maps to be created and shared online. Overall it explores how new mapping approaches are emerging through open data and participation.

The document discusses internationalization in higher education. It notes that the environment is increasingly competitive but there is no single approach to success. Universities must demonstrate a commitment to internationalization through academic practices, student support, and cultural inclusivity. Leadership is also crucial to take a strategic approach to internationalization initiatives. The document also examines trends in global student mobility, different models of internationalization, and implications for education in the 21st century workplace.

This document outlines a graduate student exchange program between Middlesex University in London and Loyola University in Chicago from 2006 to 2011. It provides a timeline of the key events, including the initial planning phase, two implementation phases where students studied at each university's campus, and an evaluation and action planning phase. During their time at each university, students attended classes, workshops, and seminars, and went on residential visits to companies like Google, Microsoft, and Wilson Sports to gain industry exposure. The program aimed to provide students with a unique international learning experience.
Track E L Smith
The document discusses Middlesex University's strategy to become a global university through the establishment of branch campuses around the world. It identifies key perceptions around teaching and learning quality at branch campuses compared to main campuses. The document also examines ways that academic standards can be maintained across campuses, such as through coordinated assessment, professional development for staff, and reflection on student feedback. Student expectations of a branch campus delivering a British education with the same standards as the London campus are also reviewed.
Track D K Smith
The document discusses overseas or "cross-border" education where students earn degrees from a home institution while studying abroad. It focuses on "flying faculty" who teach short intensive sessions abroad and face challenges from logistics, workload, and lack of support, but can benefit from fresh ideas and expanded world views. The conclusion calls for more support for flying faculty through mentoring, professional development conversations, and small research projects.
Track B Sund
The document summarizes a presentation given at a teaching and learning conference by Dr. Simon Best and Dr. Kristian J. Sund. It discusses an online MBA program in shipping and logistics and oil and gas, including the program structure, student profiles, student feedback on their experience, and initial results from a research project analyzing factors that influence student satisfaction and achievement. Key points discussed include the importance of tutor involvement, feedback, and response time based on student comments, as well as preliminary findings that variables like the number, length, and type of tutor posts may impact student outcomes.
Track A O'Donoghue
The document discusses a study on the barriers and benefits experienced by overseas students at Middlesex University. It provides an overview of the study's methodology, which included questionnaires given to 68 overseas students from various programs. The results found that students had anxieties before arriving related to missing home, culture shock, and academics. While studying, common problems were homesickness, finances, and difficulties with lectures and writing. Key factors supporting success included social and family support, motivation, and clear instruction from the university. The implications suggest ways to help with academic expectations, reduce isolation, and manage cultural differences between students and staff.
Keynote1 Chris Shiel
The document discusses several topics related to global education, internationalization, and sustainable development. It notes the huge challenges posed by diminishing resources and inequality in the world. It argues that the current situation may not be sustainable and calls for education for sustainable development. The document also discusses how internationalization and a global perspective in education can help develop skills needed in the global workforce and address the global skills gap.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
