Challenges faced by universities in online education - EMEA Online Symposium ...Studiosity.com
Neil Mosley of Cardiff University examined some of the challenges universities face in online education, with a focus on what to change, think and do differently.
Neil’s three key suggestions for universities to consider for the next academic year were:
- Invest and invest wisely in people and technology
- Seriously consider forming partnerships
- Don’t delay!
Technology has changed everything: from how we watch movies and television shows to how we plan our vacations. It's no surprise that millennials and the iGeneration, born when Google began and in grade school when Facebook took off, naturally gravitate to technological resources for everything from their electronics purchases to their college search. Chegg, the student hub, has performed in-depth research on how students use technology at each phase of their student lifecycle; from college search and discovery, to information consumption, and finally pursuing internships and their first careers. This session will provide an overview of the entire student lifecycle and how enrollment managers and student services professionals can leverage technology to maximize student success.

At only 15 months after its adoption of Blackboard Learn, Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) has been breaking barriers in learning and creating new paths for student achievement. In this presentation, they will share about their experiences in adoption, the solutions that surfaced after a school-wide adoption of Blackboard Learn,their tiny victories in attempting to curb resistance in the adoption of a new learning management system, and, more importantly, the partnerships that they have forged this far into the journey. They understand that institutions in the earlier stages of adoption experience similar difficulties and they hope to ease each other's burdens by sharing lessons, solutions and triumphs.

Essential Role of Adjuncts Role of Adjuncts in OER Adoption and DegreesUna Daly
Faculty involvement is critical to the sustainability of OER adoption and degree pathways. More than half of courses at community colleges taught by adjunct faculty and institutional reliance on this faculty pool is growing. It is essential to devise scalable strategies for integrating adjuncts into this transformative work to improve student success.
Join us for this webinar to hear how adjunct faculty can participate and be acknowledged for the essential role that they are playing in developing OER degree pathways at many colleges. Findings and emerging strategies from Achieving the Dream’s Engaging Adjunct Faculty program will be explored with the program director. Dean of Information Technology and an adjunct faculty member at Broward College, an OER Degree Initiative grantee, will share how adjunct faculty have been involved in the development and teaching of their Business Administration OER degree pathway.
When: Wednesday, Dec 6th 11am PT/ 2pm ET

CCCOER OER Degree Research with Achieving the Dream, SRI Education, and rpk G...Una Daly
An OER-based degree, sometimes referred to as a Zero-Textbook-Cost degree, is a pathway to a degree or credential with no textbook costs. Faculty have redesigned the courses in the pathway to use open educational resources (OER) instead of traditional commercial textbooks and early research shows students are succeeding as well or better than peers in traditional courses while saving up to 25% on the cost of attendance. Additional research has shown that a college may be able to increase tuition revenue through increased student persistence and success in these pathways.
With the largest OER degree grant initiative of its kind launched last year at 38 colleges in 13 U.S. states, Achieving the Dream, has undertaken research to look at the academic and financial impact to students and their institutions. Grant partners SRI, along with partner rpk GROUP, is conducting research and evaluation to identify impact and cost as well as the facilitators and barriers to successful implementation of this model. Join us to hear from the researchers about methodology, benefits and challenges for colleges, and findings from the first semester of the grant.
When: Wed, April 12 1st, 10amPST/1pmEST
Featured Speakers:
Jessica Mislevy, PhD is a senior researcher with SRI Education’s Center for Technology in Learning and one of the key researchers for the ATD OER Degree Initiative.
Rick Staisloff is the founder and a principal of rpkGROUP, a leading national consulting firm supporting colleges, universities, and other non-profits with their growth and reallocation strategies, who leads the cost analysis for institutions and students participating in the ATD OER Degree Initiative.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.
