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.
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.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

University of Science and Technology’s Institute of Management Science
Michael Koenig, Sr. Assistant Dean for Degree Programs and Executive Director Program Innovation michael.koenig@virginia.edu and Dr. Kristin Palmer, kristin@virginia.edu
Summary:
Darden faculty and students traveled to Uganda to partner with a new MBA program in the country and work with local businesses as part of the
Darden’s Global Consulting Projects elective program for residential students. Learners in Uganda were provided scholarships to the Coursera UVa
MOOC Specialization Foundations of Business Strategy. 118 Learners in Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya are currently taking the specialization and
working on projects for local businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Benefits:
The partnership with Mbarara has been an opportunity to expose Darden faculty and students to Sub-Saharian Africa, foster university relationships
with a young management school, facilitate building ties for Mbarara to the local businesses which will then employ graduates, and develop more
robust businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, this pilot offers insight for emerging markets and strategies for engaging these markets.
Implementation:
1) Built relationship with Mbarara University of Science and Technology’s Institute of Management Science
2) Site visit in Summer 2015
3) MUST-IMS colleagues coordinate and provide nominee details originating from the varied stakeholders throughout East Africa.
4) Congratulatory email sent to each nominee, asking them to complete a very simple online application which will capture each nominee's name,
employment and contact details, and ask them to answer a few simple application questions to help confirm commitment to this endeavor.
5) For all those who are nominated and complete the online application, a second email congratulating these selected nominees on their selection
to receive the scholarship is sent welcoming them to the East African cohort for the Specialization in Business Strategy. This email will include
the Coursera provided link to register at no cost for the first course in the specialization.
6) Coursera and Darden team coordinated the launch of this East African cohort as a private group. Only those who complete the first course in
the Business Strategy Specialization along with the cohort will continue and receive the link to register to the second course in the
Specialization.
7) Created surveys and watched persistence week over week and course over course to see the affect of financial aid and scholarship for emerging
markets
Initial Lessons Learned: Logistics have proven quite difficult and the next time we do this, we will make sure to have orientation materials that guide
learners click by click through the content and a point of contact at Coursera.
3. Moving Paradigms: Net Promoter Scores(NPS) versus MOOC Completion Rates
Kristin Palmer, kristin@virginia.edu @kpatwork and Christopher J. Devers, chris@edprofessor.com @edprofessor
Summary: This research projected started off as a mixed-methods approach to compare completion rates to learner
satisfaction in the UVa MOOC Introduction to Personal Branding. The first part of the study was a online survey
modeled after the study last year by PENN, University of Washington, and Coursera. The second part of the study is
a set of focus groups to gather qualitative feedback. Although the study is currently active, it is apparent that the
Net Promoter Score (NPS) for Coursera is high. With 356 respondents, the NPS is 55. It is a recommendation of this
study to start looking at Net Promoter Scores instead of Completion Rates for MOOC courses and providers.
Top Business Metrics: In business, key measures include Customer Satisfaction Scores (CSAT), Net Promoter Scores
(NPS), and Customer Effort Scores (CES). Customer Satisfaction Scores (CSAT) are based on specific questions given
to customers after an interaction with a company. For example, asking how the customer would rate their
experience with customer support after calling a toll-free number to resolve an issue. Answers are typically Likert
Scale from very dissatisfied to very satisfied. Net Promoter Scores (NPS) are when one asks a customer: “On a scale
of 0-10, how likely would you be to recommend [company name] to a friend or colleague?” Responders are then
split into categories where those with a 9 or 10 response are considered “Promoters,” a 7 or 8 response are called
“Passive,” and 0-6 scores are “Detractors.” The Net Promoter Score is the percentage of detractors subtracted from
the percentage of promoters. A score higher than zero is good, but the best companies aim for scores around 50.
Customer Effort Scores (CES) are the latest trend in measuring business performance. In this model, business look at
how much effort customers need to expend to get their issues resolved with low scores being the goal.
Online Survey Results: The respondents have been fairly typical: employed, well-educated, and self-identifying as
medium socio-economic in status. A surprising statistic was that 65% of respondents were female. The feedback so
far anecdotally has aligned with previous studies: learners love having access to high quality educational content,
they use this content to improve their lives, and they plan to utilize the skills they are learning in their future jobs.
