Re modelling museum collections for digital content phm2008Geoff Barker
This is a presentation I gave to staff at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney a year or so after starting there. It was based on trying to change the way content was created for specific projects and look instead at the workflows which encouraged developing accessible content in economical, and efficient ways. Some of these happened some are still waiting - but I think there are good ideas embedded in here that are worth sharing

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

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.

Editor's Notes
Good documentation is thorough – and it does take time to produce.While this might seem like a waste of time, there are several reasons why it’s important to do (and these will probably save you time in the future!)
First of all, because documentation should be thorough it will contain a lot of information that might seem obvious. But will that same information still be obvious in a few months, years, decades, centuries… time?It’s very easy to assume that you will remember it, but it’s quite easy to forget crucial information. It also means that other people can understand what you’ve done and why. It’s important to include context (why you did your research, how it fits into other contemporary research, or follows on from previous work), as well as explaining your methods and analytical techniques. This is related to the next point…
By providing documentation, you can provide the methodology of how you generated/collected/produced your data (for example information about collection strategies, algorithms, database searches), and how you reached your conclusions from your data.This is important as it means that people can reproduce your research, either to verify your conclusions or as a starting point to developing your work further. In many research groups, this could be a student or post-doc who continues work started by a previous student. Replicating methodology can also be a useful training tool.Key points:Detailing your methods helps people understand what you did (and why)Explaining your algorithms, search methods etc makes your work reproducibleConclusions can be verified
One of the main advantages of creating documentation is that it makes data re-usable. This doesn’t have to be altruism – it can be by you at a later date. Besides, making your data available has benefits for your reputation, so documentation doesn’t have to be altruistic even if you don’t intend to re-use the data yourself.
Documentation is human readableMetadata is machine readable. This has important implications for searching for data. The structured machine-readable form of metadata means that it can make things easier to find. Think of it like tagging a photo in facebook or on flickr. The more comprehensive it is the easier it is to find things, and you can never be quite sure what other people will be looking for. But providing better metadata increases the chances of finding relevant information.
Producing good metadata means that it’s easier to find your data, as it highlights the important aspects in a machine-readable way. This makes computer-based searches, whether on your searching your own hard drive or looking for something on a database online, work better for you – they’re more likely to find relevant files and information more quickly. If you’re working on a large project you might be interested in crowd-sourcing metadata production. This works well with niche communities who are active online (such as transport, or local history). It’s easier to produce good metadata when files have also been documented!
