The term "collaborative learning" (CL) refers to a broad range of educational strategies including the combined intellectual efforts of teachers and pupils. Students are typically required to work in groups of two or more, looking together for understanding, answers, or meanings or producing a product. People will be able to collaborate with someone far away just as readily as they would with someone in the same room thanks to the usage of ICT in CL. E-collaboration tool enable users to contribute a variety of abilities to group projects that remove time, distance, and resource limitations. Face-to-face engagement is still important, but ICT can enhance it by enabling communication at any time and from any location. ICT functions for group work coordination, tools for tracking progress and providing feedback, libraries of solutions and best practises, as well as meta data, are all available as collaborative technologies. In order to facilitate collaborative learning in all areas of education, the following technological tools can be used: wiki, online forums, chat, video conferencing, email, blogging, learning management systems, virtual classrooms, Sticky notes, etc.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Technology as a Collaborative Tool
One way to engage students is to give them a
challenge and a chance to work together.
Normally in a regular classroom, teachers may
have discouraged students from conversing with
classmates during individual work, but
sometimes there are positive things that can
come out of it as students talk about the task
assigned to them or as they work themselves of a
complicated task.
3. Different available tools and
applications for collaboration:
Skype
Wiki
Blogging
Google group or Google form
4. Skype
Skype is a software
application allowing
you to do a
videoconferencing for
free. All you need is
to create an account
and can be used for a
video meeting.
5. Wiki
Is a Software that allows you to create a page or a
selection or pages designed to allow you to post or write,
edit, or upload a link quickly. This is good when students
need to work together to complete a task even if they are
not physically together. A task such as writing a paper
together, planning a presentation or surveying ideas from
team members can be managed by a wikispace that
efficiently allows one to document the contribution of
each member in the team. Work can be extended virtually
and asynchronously.
6. Blogging
In blogging, it is journaling your ideas
to which others can react allowing a
thread of discussion to take place and
which can be used online. It is the
abbreviation of weblog. It would help
if you provide direction when using a
weblog.
7. Use weblog with a clear instructional objective. It is an
opportunity to explore the skill of communicating ideas.
Like in a writing class you can guide students on how to
design the whole blog or upload materials and support
students in developing critical communication.
Guidance on what and how to post will be needed. Teach
the students that the blogging is for educational purposes
and is different from a personal blog. Proper or formal
language variety should be used. A writing prompt would
help to guide your students’ posts.
With easy access to information, a major obligation is to
teach the students to use multiple source and to cite
them appropriately.
8. Writing about your ideas is a personal act but it is
important that you are taught to make blogs
personal without revealing too much of personal
information such as contact information and too
personal pictures. When writing blogs, you write
your reflections but safeguarding yourself is also
an important consideration
It may help if you can look for very good
examples of blogs. There are online and print
publications that review blogs and you can use
the Information towards to good model.
9. Google Group or Google Form
is an application that can be used in a
collaborative documentation of ideas
contributed by members of the team.
Having a google account will come
very handy and you can easily have
access to a variety of applications.
12. IMPLEMENT ICT-SUPPORTED
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
Collaborative learning encourages and enables students to
work and learn together to study and explore a subject, to
solve a problem, to complete a task or an assignment, or
to create a project. Using ICT to support such
collaborative work has a number of advantages. Not only
can it facilitate certain collaborative activities but it also
can enable students work collaboratively even when they
are located in different places and collaborating at
different times. Furthermore, collaborative work
supported by ICT enables them to practice essential 21st-
century skills such as collaboration, communication, and
knowledge creation.
13. When it comes to choosing a suitable method and/or
tool to support the collaborative learning activities
you have planned for your students, there are quite
a few aspects you need to take into consideration.
The first is finding a method and/or tool that
matches your activity and which offers the
functionality that you will need.
You also need to take into account issues to do with
technical support and complexity – is this a method
and/or tool that you can easily use, and if it needs a
lot of technical or other support, is this available?
14. What about the cost of the service or tool that
you chose, and if there is a cost, how will it be
covered now and in the future? Given the
increasingly data-sensitive world in which we live.
You need to also consider privacy and the
management of data arising from your
methodology and use of various tools.
