Lifelong Learning Programme - Key Activity 3 - ICT; Multilateral projects
By carrying out research to understand how governments can stimulate the uptake of OER by policy means (and not just funding), POERUP aims to contribute to the implementation of LLL. Simultaneously POERUP aims to foster the potential of new media for enhancing innovation by researching policies designed to foster a “lifelong learner” mindset in learners: leading to curiosity, creativity and a willingness to “consume” OER. To do so the project team will investigate the “end-user – producer communities” behind OER initiatives and what (or who) it is that actually provides the energy that make OER work or not.

The popular media tells us that we live in an age of disengagement. 21st century professors are told they need to design curriculum to support student success and create an engaging classroom whether it is face-to-face, online, or in a blended learning environment. Creating engaging learning environments with technology will be essential to embrace 21st century learners and their ever evolving learning styles. Information Technology is dedicated to this philosophy and embraces varying technologies and learning concepts with other institutions and with our own faculty to generate innovation with technology and learning engagement in tandem. Information Technology invites the Stevens community to explore how educators can use some of the tools such as apps, clickers, open education resources, mobile learning, collaborative learning platforms from Google Hangouts to Massive Open Online Courses, and embrace the engagement strategies of social media

Malaysia, comprising the regions of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak, supports some of the most extensive tropical peatlands in the world. Malaysia’s peatlands mainly consist of peat swamp forest, a critically endangered category of forested wetland characterised by deep layers of peat soil and waters so acidic that many of the plants and animals found in them do not occur in the other tropical forests of Asia. The peatlands of Malaysia play a critical role in preserving water supply, regulating and reducing flood damage, providing fish, timber, and other resources for local communities, and regulating the release of greenhouse gases by storing large amounts of carbon within peat. They also support a host of globally threatened and restricted-ranged plants and animals.
Despite these values, the peatlands of Malaysia are the most highly threatened of all its forests and wetlands. Vast areas of peat swamp forest have been cleared, burnt, and drained for economic development and few of Malaysia’s peatlands remain intact. Remaining peatlands continue to be cleared, particularly for oil palm plantations, to meet domestic and international demand for palm oil and other agricultural products. While this demand is increasing, international consumers are also implementing more stringent requirements for forest-certified and ‘green’ products. This is creating new demands on Malaysia to meet its national and international commitments toward climate change protocols and biodiversity conservation while still achieving its economic targets. Yet the development of management strategies is hindered because little data is available on the extent and status of Malaysia’s peatlands, and no national strategy for peatland management exists.
This report presents the first national assessment of peatlands in Malaysia. It identifies remaining peatlands of high conservation value, and presents preliminary recommendations toward the development of a national strategy for Malaysia’s peatlands. The report comes at a critical time for the management of Malaysia’s forests and wetlands, and is a first step toward developing a national strategy for Malaysia’s peatlands. The report’s findings were presented at the first international ‘Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil Conference’, held in Malaysia in November 2009. Importantly, the report is preliminary in nature: data is limited or unavailable for many areas, and available data ranges from two to nine years old. In this respect the report highlights the need for new data and provides a framework for more detailed studies in the future.
Integrating Landsat, ICESat and ALOS PALSAR for Regional Scale Vegetation Str...Peter Scarth
Through statewide, national and international programs (i.e., the Statewide Land cover And Trees Study (SLATS), the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) Auscover project and the Japanese Space Exploration Agency (JAXA) Kyoto and Carbon (K&C) Initiative), statewide to national scale moderate spatial resolution products relating to fractional cover and persistent green cover, vegetation height and structure, and above ground biomass have been generated separately using time-series of Landsat sensor data, ICESat GLAS and ALOS PALSAR data. However, the combination of these data to enhance retrieval of vegetation biophysical properties has been limited (e.g., to mapping of regrowth stage through integration of ALOS PALSAR and Landsat-derived cover estimates. This research therefore investigated the potential benefits of integrating these data through object-based analysis. Focusing on the Injune Landscape Collaborative Project (ILCP) research area in Queensland, co-registered Landsat Foliage Projected Cover (FPC) and ALOS PALSAR L-band HH and HV mosaics were segmented to generate objects with similar radar backscatter and cover characteristics. Within these, height, cover, age class and L-band backscatter characteristics were summarised based on the ICESat and Landsat time-series and ALOS PALSAR datasets. The study established the complimentarity of the datasets (e.g., in terms of retrieving biophysical properties) and, through validation against ground truth data (obtained through field and airborne lidar data collection), potential for significant improvement in the retrieval of extent, height and cover. Future research is focusing on expanding the use of these combined datasets at a regional level with a view to developing operational methods to support policy and decision-making across government and non-government organisations.

Ramirez-Montoya (2020) recently presented a review of literature pertaining OER and educational innovation, noting that although definitions of openness vary across sectoral spaces, the crossover between openness and innovation is an area of increasing interest. A core part of the story of open educational resources is that they can be used to create spaces for innovation in teaching and learning (Orr et al., 2015; Pitt & Smyth, 2017; Weller et al., 2015). As Coughlan et al. (2018) argue, there has been a lack of detailed analysis of the specific function of OER as a driver of innovation, and a single model has not yet captured the multi-faceted relationship between openness and innovation.
This presentation will present an overview of several major theories of innovation as they relate to contexts of open education, making clear connections to open educational practice and showing how innovation theories can apply to OER. The presentation is likely to be of interest to practitioners wishing to have a stronger theoretical and practical understanding of how OER can support innovative practice.
• Task-Artefact Cycle (Carroll, Kellog & Rosson, 1991)
• The diffusion of innovations theory (Rogers, 2010)
• SAMR framework (Puentedura, 2006; Orr et al., 2015)
• Cyclic Innovation Model (Berkhout, 2007)
• Forms of innovation in OER (Coughlan, Pitt & Farrow, 2018)
This work contributes to the European Network for Catalysing Open Resources in Education (ENCORE+). ENCORE+ is a pan-European Knowledge Alliance funded under the Erasmus+ programme. The project will run from 2021 to 2023 to support the modernisation of education in the European area through OER.

Creative Commons Open Business Models, Case Studies, & FindingsPaul_Stacey
Presentation given at Open Education Conference 2015 in Vancouver British Columbia, November 19, 2015.
Description: In March of 2015, with support from the Hewlett Foundation, Creative Commons launched an open business model initiative aimed squarely at showing how Creative Commons licenses can, and are, used by business, nonprofits and governments. This initiative emerged out of a need to show how organizations and creators can produce OER and other Creative Commons licensed works in a way that generates social good in sustainable and financially sound ways.
Creative Commons open business model initiative is being done in an interactive community-based way using an open business model canvas and an online community for sharing and discussion. Creative Commons directly collaborates with organizations using a process that supports both autonomous and collaborative design, development of open business model designs, and ensuing analysis of the results.
In this panel presentation, organizations who worked with Creative Commons to generate an open business model will share their experience. They will describe their motivations, explain how they engaged in the Creative Commons open business model process, outline what they learned, and reveal new opportunities and directions they took as a result.
Creative Commons will describe the tools and processes it used and how those tools and processes evolved and changed through community interaction. Latest versions of tools and process will be compared to starting ones and made available to all participants. Analysis insights from both panel organizations and Creative Commons will be shared.
Creative Commons will outline open business models lessons learned, the types and categories of open business models that emerged, and summarize key findings. Next steps, opportunities for participation and future plans will be described.
Attendees of this session will gain:
- an understanding of the open business model initiative and process
- hands on access to the open business model canvas and other tools they can use to develop their own open business model
- knowledge and insights into how open business models work
- strategies and tactics they can incorporate into their own open business model initiative
- the opportunity to get involved in the initiative in an open and collaborative way

Working towards a community of practice in public relationsStephen Waddington
This report is based on an online conversation exploring the opportunity for cooperation between public relations academia and practice. It took place in a Facebook group during September and October 2015.
Proposals fall into two areas.
First, there are some quick fixes that could bring about an immediate and significant improvement in collaboration such as cooperation on awards, conferences, industry schemes and media.
Second, there are some structural issues that need longer term attention. Critically the conversion for students between teaching and practice and the basis on which academic performance is rewarded and recognised both need to be tackled.
I’m developing a panel discussion and workshop around this topic at BledCom in July 2016. The subject of the conference is Engagement, so it is fitting and timely.

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 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.
