OB3 – Beautiful Study for Lifelong Learning is a personal learning environment for creating and sharing content as part of informal, non-formal, and formal learning. Within minutes, individuals with basic technological skills (i.e. users of MS Office, internet browsers, and email applications) can author and share media-rich documents including hyperlinks, embedded discussions, videos, and/or audio-recordings. In the last two years, OB3 has been used to build ePortfolios for reflective practice in an MBA programme, and professional certification in a Midwifery programme. During the workshop, attendees will learn how to build an OB3 reflective practice portfolio. They will learn how to 1) capture their thoughts in writing, audio recordings, video, photos, hyperlinks, etc. to reflect on development areas; 2) keep private and personal records of their reflections as they happen; 3) email content and any attachments from their mobile devices directly to their portfolio; and 4) share selected sections of their reflections with other people as part of a course or co-creation for understanding project.

Presentation given for a panel presentation at the AAC&U 2019 meeting. Abstract: In this panel presentation, three institutions explored how ePortfolio curriculum prompts new ways of thinking about education. In Northeastern University’s online master’s education program, students draw from and transform their earlier “learning ePortfolios” into professional ePortfolios showing accomplishment and career readiness. Key to this transition are four critical moves: remembering, analyzing, envisioning, and synthesizing. In Florida State University’s Rhetoric and Composition ePortfolio, a signature practice is selection, supported by an ePortfolio curatorial process helping students make decisions about what’s to select for the ePortfolio and what to leave behind. Across all three programs, students report that these supportive practices are fundamental.
What can we learn about ePortfolio programs by listening to graduates?Gail Matthews-DeNatale
AAC&U 2017 Presentation Abstract: The ePortfolio community has long been dedicated to documenting, analyzing, and communicating the value of ePortfolios in higher education. But what happens to our students after they graduate? How do alumni perceive the value of their ePortfolio experience? Do they incorporate evidence-based, multimodal, and metacognitive practices into their daily life and work, and if so in what ways? What other insights might they share? This session will present the prominent themes that emerged during interviews and email exchanges with graduates from Northeastern University and Florida State University. The session will also include time for attendees to explore how they might incorporate alumni outreach into their own ePortfolio work and research.

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.
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.

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.

Preparing Open Educators
1. Preparing Open Educators:
Essential Conceptual Understandings & Proficiencies
Gail Matthews-DeNatale
Lecturer, CPS Graduate School of Education
Senior Associate Director, CATLR
2. 1. General idea and interest, but no prior experience
2. I’ve integrated open education into my credit-bearing
teaching practice
3. I’ve helped other educators learn about and integrate
open education into their practice
4. Have integrated open education into my practice and
helped other educators
Poll: Open Education (a.k.a. Open Learning)
3. During the session you will consider:
• Philosophical ideas and principles essential to open learning
• Essential open educator proficiencies (concepts and practices)
• Open educator proficiencies that are most relevant to your context
In Companion ePortfolio you will access:
• Collection of concrete strategies, exemplars, materials
• Bibliography of sources that informed the framework of proficiencies
Outcomes
4. Open Education: Big Idea
Practices
Resources Software
Philosophy
Education can only achieve its full potential if knowledge is shared, therefore
the products of learning and teaching should be a common good.
5. Open Learning: Principle
Hegarty, 2015, OAResources, n.d.
“Engage with students as creators
of information rather than simply
consumers of it. [Open Learning] is
a form of experiential learning in
which students demonstrate
understanding through the act of
creation.”
7. If you were teaching or taking
a graduate-level education
course titled “open learning,”
what would you expect to
course participants to learn?
Articulating Priorities (In the Chat)
9. Which proficiencies were expected?
Which, if any, proficiencies surprise you?
Why?
Which ones are intriguing, but less clear
for you? [Examples will follow]
The Proficiencies (In the Chat)
10. P1: Origins and Context
P1: Origins and Context
P2: Information Fluency
P3: Curation
P4: Learning Experience Design
P5: Education Technology
P6: Open Pedagogy
Identify the diverse roots of
Open Learning as a
movement, especially those
that are most relevant to
your interests and needs as
an educator.
11. P1: Origins and Context
Essential Understanding
Open education is not a fad.
It builds on centuries of work
by educators and technical
innovators.
Timeline Assignment
• How far back does the concept of
"openness" go? What are the big ideas?
• What have been the major developments?
Who was involved? In what sectors?
12. Student Reflections
S1: “Heading into this course I thought I understood
what open learning meant, but soon realized I really
had no idea of how big a concept this is and how
long it has been evolving. What has really stuck with
me throughout the is the basic idea of generosity …
How exciting is that?”
S2: “Our timeline assignment made me realize there
are theories, frameworks, influential people, and
large-scale actions that set open learning in motion.”
13. P2: Information Fluency
P1: Origins and Context
P2: Information Fluency
P3: Curation
P4: Learning Experience Design
P5: Education Technology
P6: Open Pedagogy
Locate, evaluate, and select
high quality open education
resources that are most
relevant to a given teaching
scenario (preferably
something that you or a
constituent currently teach,
or an offering your program
would like to develop).
14. P2: Information Fluency
Essential Understanding
There are many elements
that need to be considered
when evaluating OER.
Crowdsourced Open Online Learning (COOL)
• Identify a course scenario or topic
• Look for relevant OERs
• Evaluate and pool OERs
(NUS Libraries, 2021; TEMOA, 2011; Achieve, 2011)
16. Student Reflections
“In the first week we were asked to post a reflective
response to a video by David Wiley. My first response came
from a place of defensiveness and closed mindedness.
Why should educators be expected to share their
intellectual property with others for free?
I started to see that open education and its history is far
more complex … a network of ideas that allows for more
equitable educational experiences for so many people.”
17. P3: Curation
P1: Origins and Context
P2: Information Fluency
P3: Curation
P4: Learning Experience Design
P5: Education Technology
P6: Open Pedagogy
Identify the desired
learning outcomes of a
specified teaching scenario.
For each outcome, curate
an intentional and strategic
collection of OERs that are
most relevant to to the
goals for learning.
18. P3: Curation
Essential Understanding
The OER integration process
is nonlinear, iterative, and
strategic. A preliminary scan
can spark ideas for teaching.
Selection involves winnowing
and adapting resources in
relation to goals.
Mini-MOOC (plan 2-week learning experience)
• Individual choice of topic
• Topic selected the same week of COOL
• Process guided by a multi-week planner
• Buddy triads provide feedback
• Content includes at least three forms of
high-quality open learning resources that
were created by another entity (e.g.,
materials, videos, tools)
19. Student Reflection
“In a field constantly striving for innovation,
Open Education Resources provide a tangible
record of content and pedagogy that allows us
as educators to continue to reform and improve,
providing better education to students around
the world for years to come.”
20. P4: Learning Experience Design
P1: Origins and Context
P2: Information Fluency
P3: Curation
P4: Learning Experience Design
P5: Education Technology
P6: Open Pedagogy
(Re)design a two-week
online learning experience,
integrating/adapting OERs
that support and further
the learning outcomes.
Author/refine original
collateral materials such as
assignments.
21. P4: Learning Experience Design
Mini-MOOC (plan 2-week learning experience)
• Reflect on buddy feedback input, note and
share how you acted upon it and why.
• Engage your learners in content (read/view),
intentionally designed activities (do), and
metacognition (reflect)
• Content includes at least two substantive
open learning resources created by you
Essential Understanding
Active learning is engaging,
but it needs to be purposeful
to accomplish goals. A good
experience is a gratifying
journey in which each part
contributes to the whole.
22. Student Reflection
I really didn't know what to expect. [When I found out about the
Mini-MOOC assignment] I thought ‘I can't do that. That's too
much.’
I’d call it a guided creativity. It wasn't, ‘These are the five learning
resources that you're supposed to put in your MOOC and put them
in a certain order.’ ... It was just so much more than that. There are
parameters that you gave … but they were broad enough that I had
free rein.
As the course went on, I got a better picture of what Open Learning
really was … [OERs] helped give the meatiness to the course.
23. P5: Education Technology
P1: Origins and Context
P2: Information Fluency
P3: Curation
P4: Learning Experience Design
P5: Education Technology
P6: Open Pedagogy
Stage an OER-integrated
learning experience in an
online learning platform.
Make effective use of
media and interactive
technologies to deepen and
further the learning
experience. Assign CC
license to original materials
developed.
24. P5: Educational Technology
Essential Understanding
While LXD is more important
than technology, effective
implementation is critical.
Creative yet purposeful use
of technology increases
engagement.
Mini-MOOC (plan 2-week learning experience)
• Each student provided with their own Canvas
course. In previous terms they had the
option to stage it in other platforms.
• Students encouraged to share strategies,
mentor each other in use of tools.
• Make effective use of multimedia that
combines images, words, and sound. Cite all
sources.
• Assign a Creative Commons license and set
for self-enrollment
25. P6: Open Pedagogy
P1: Origins and Context
P2: Information Fluency
P3: Curation
P4: Learning Experience Design
P5: Education Technology
P6: Open Pedagogy
Facilitate a two-week,
active, online participatory
learning experience that
incorporates OERs and
engages learners in the
development of authentic
products that can be shared
with others (have value
beyond the class).
26. P6: Open Pedagogy
Essential Understanding
Roles between educators and
student can be fluid;
partnership increases a sense
of mattering and
empowerment. Teaching,
and the improvement of
teaching, is iterative.
Mini-MOOC
• Run the MOOC with your buddies in the final
two weeks of the course. They and your
course instructor role play being students in
the class.
• Buddy Feedback Form is provided in a
template that aligns with Min-MOOC
assignment rubric.
(Paskevivius, M, 2017; Hegarty, 2018)
27. Student Reflection
“This class’s format made us comment on each
other’s work in a way that required the
recipient to do something. I am not saying I had
to make the changes, but I really had to reflect
on the comments. As much as I want to say my
biggest take away was making the MOOC, it
really wasn’t. My biggest takeaway was the
power of someone else’s point of view.”
28. Final Reflections
S1: “This course has fundamentally shifted the way I view the
field of education.”
S2: “I feel this is the most I have changed since beginning my
master’s program. The feedback from peers … helped me
understand the material, assignments, and that I wasn’t
alone.”
S3: “I plan to make the educational materials I create openly
available to give back to the OER community … To design
authentic and engaging learning experiences, I have to
leverage and collaborate with the open learning community.”
29. How might the principles of open
learning inform your teaching context?

Editor's Notes
Note that many frameworks that informed my identification of these particular proficiencies
