Technology offers incredible opportunities to transform the way the library sector skills itself and the learning for the community. Technology often defines our comfort with change and our ability to adapt. This session will explore the ways in technology has shifted the balance of the expert, but not the role of wisdom. To foster new opportunities for engagement and communication, libraries must grapple with a legacy and empower people to find where innovation and risk meet.
PLNs: Asking the right questions (eLearning network) Hamish Curry
Personal Learning Networks have proliferated across the web, and no more so than in the field of education. Everyone has different reasons and strategies for getting involved or starting a PLN, so what might those be? Using stories from the Library's PLN programs combined with group discussion about what PLNs are and what they do, this presentation will shed light on how becoming a networked educator can be a liberating learning experience.
Technology offers incredible opportunities to transform the way the GLAM sector (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) operates in learning and community environments. Technology is also blamed when things go wrong, or when unexpected outcomes arise. This session will explore the ways in which these institutions are using technology to foster new opportunities for engagement and communication, and discuss the moments where innovation and risk meet.
An exploration of strategies that use both passive and proactive measures to encourage playfulness, and ways different onsite and online systems can combine. More awareness of thinking skills and critical literacy in libraries, and of course the kinds of activities and offerings in libraries, especially around games, collaborative play, and linking with other communities.
Information has exploded. As a result libraries globally are facing huge challenges around staffing, funding, relevance, and technology. Some are struggling, some are thriving. The State Library of Victoria (SLV) is doing its best to stay current and engaging, fostering new connections and opportunities to grow audiences and learning potential. Collaboration and partnerships are integral to building new learning streams, and coupled with the use of technology, this Library is set to explode into new methods of engagement with the community. By applying some design-thinking processes in re-imagining the way information, knowledge, and communities intersect through libraries. Stepping through activities which frame current library assumptions against future library expectations (and possibilities), we’ll then pit these against the programs and tools already created in onsite and online environments.
Some have likened libraries as museums for information handling in the industrial age.
If only they knew what you were really up to, right? If technology is shaping learning and literacy, then the evolution of social media, video games, and an app-for-everything is a sure sign libraries better get on board the information freight train, onsite and online. Re-thinking the way we partner and deliver library programs is the first step. This presentation highlights the strong correlation between library services in the web world and the real world, and how ‘merging’ them onsite and ‘mirroring’ them online can stimulate new networks and new audiences for libraries.
Are you a library hack too? Perhaps you are and don’t know it.
There are ‘library hacks’ who are still discovering the power of good
research and resources, and then there are ‘library hacks’ who are
using these to take data, images, maps, or objects in exciting new
directions. This presentation will touch on both of these definitions.
There are many tools available through the web to help create and
visualise information and libraries are great untapped repositories
of it, whereby many are using library data to create new content.
The Libraryhack competition run by the National State Libraries of
Australasia early in 2011 brought many great ideas and creations to
the surface. It also provided an opportunity to explore how mash-ups
and data visualisations make content powerful and rich. Hear how
library hacking might just be what your collections need to generate
a new wave of community engagement.

The Very Heart of It. Keynote at Urban Libraries Unite (ULU) ConferencePeter Bromberg

Why the social web is here to stay (and what to do about it)Mike Ellis
The social web (was "Web2.0"...) calls to human experience and emotion in a way which transcends the hype often associated with it. While the phrase "Web2.0" does a good job of associating certain services and approaches together, it also has a down-side, suggesting that any day now, a "Web3.0" will be along to replace this transient, fickle technology with something new.
This talk argues that the "social web" has a momentum which should be taken seriously -- more seriously than "just mere hype", particularly by content-rich organisations such as those involved with cultural content. It also examines some of the issues -- particularly around the perceived challenges to authority and "value" of cultural institutions and assets -- and asks how these can be overcome.

Research Data Guidance: Turning policy into practicejiscdatapool
Presentation showing how the JISC DataPool Project at the University of Southampton is building a platform to guide researchers' data management practices in support of the university's recent research data management policy. Prepared for a JISC Managing Research Data (#jiscmrd) programme workshop held in Nottingham on 24-25 October 2012.
The Learner, the Curriculum and the WardrobeDr Wayne Barry
The workshop ran as part of the Learning & Teaching Conference at Canterbury Christ Church University on Monday 30th June 2014. It was co-presented with Lynne Burroughs and sets out to examine and present examples of how e-portfolios (the ‘wardrobe’ of the title) can be embedded within the curriculum, thus allowing students to demonstrate the development of their skills and learning across a range of personal, academic and professional touch points. Furthermore, it is envisaged that e-portfolios could enable students to become 21st century self-reflective practitioners, a critical graduate skill, and to develop ‘multiple voices’ that are suitable for different audiences.
Delegates were asked to consider how e-portfolios could be situated within their own subject and professional disciplines and discuss the opportunities and challenges in embedding such a tool within their own curriculum.
Eportfolios allow people to manage the evidence of their formal and informal learning experiences by enabling them to gather and present their information in one place. Through a flexible, student-centred approach, teachers/trainers can regularly provide ongoing feedback and advice to their students through their eportfolio. As part of a structured and scaffolded program, students are empowered to showcase themselves in a variety of ways, utilising the mobile devices which they carry around with them, and as they collect their evidence anytime, anywhere. The skills students develop in creating their eportfolio are those necessary to effectively present and manage themselves online, a key skill for the 21st century. Students then have the opportunity to use their eportfolio to apply for a job, get a promotion or gain recognition of prior learning. This session will demonstrate how eportfolios are being used as flexible, online learning and assessment spaces, and how teachers/trainers can get started in implementing eportfolios with their students.
#ICOT2013 | Breakout exploring a social network site and teacher professional...Karen Spencer
The rapid shift in learning behaviours towards networked, online and blended models heralds new ways to imagine notions of learning and education. The movement towards increasingly democratized modes of knowledge making and creating is central to the way our ‘future society’ is developing. Recent years have seen a growing expectation that learners can access materials, resources and networks of experts and fellow-learners in ways that suit their contexts, location, time constraints, personal and professional needs and choice of technology.
In the field of education, e-learning (be it blended or fully online) is increasingly becoming part of both informal, and formal, educational professional learning for teachers. With the growth of social networking, combined with the growing demand for flexible and cost-efficient solutions to professional training, it is vital to understand the limitations and opportunities of the role that social network sites, and their communities, play within educational contexts.
This interpretive, case-based study (scheduled for 2012) will seek to explore the extent to which a New Zealand-based social networking site, the VLN Groups network, can support educators’ professional learning in ways that are meaningful. Findings will aim to identify the affordances and limitations of the VLN Groups social network site in terms of design in the service of learning to make recommendations about how we might improve the design and facilitation to enhance the way the space supports teachers’ professional learning.
Flip Teaching - new trends in educational technologyClay Casati
Flip teaching is a form of blended learning which encompasses any use of Internet technology to leverage the learning in a classroom, so a teacher can spend more time interacting with students instead of lecturing.
Moving beyond Blackboard: The VLE journey at DundeeNatalie Lafferty
This presentation was given as part of the E-Learning for the Learner: the challenge of providing learner centred education in the Age of the Internet Symposium held at the Association for Medical Education in Europe annual meeting held in Lyon, France, 27-29 August 2012
Learning outside the classroom is powerful. It provides the opportunity for real-world observation, investigation and interaction. When combined with innovative curriculum design and the power of digital tools, location-based learning supports inquisitive learners, narrative driven experiences and meaningful outcomes. Through the experiences and research of the State Library of Victoria Education team learn about the development of city experience programs like the Hoddle Waddle, the use of digital and spatial tools for mapping, integration with history, and conducting fieldwork.
Between a dropbox and a hard place - ASLA 2013Hamish Curry
The digital and the physical have obviously created new challenges and opportunities for libraries and learning. The tools at our fingertips are diverse, networked, versatile, and present new ways to conceptualize content. These tools are not only changing our work, but it is still only emerging how we use physical spaces in this context; and the innovations just keep coming! This closing keynote will bring together some of the ideas from the Conference, as well as experiences from programs at the State Library of Victoria and other institutions to explore what it means to integrate technology and pedagogy effectively. This will lead into the considerations for school leadership, how it connects vision with practice, what it means to educate young people in the world of cloud computing, and the implications for the continued growth and expertise of the teaching profession.
What does it mean to make a public library playful? Can games create ongoing engagement and generate greater learning? This unique workshop will explore the answers to these and your own questions around how games, digital networks, and public programming facilitate connectedness, awareness, and partnerships with the community. The workshop will expand upon key experiences with innovative games and technology programs, including the challenges in making it happen and the feedback from the attending public. It will also explore the ways in which we connect to online communities and key people to build networks and collaborators, as well as highlighting other examples of playful engagement from around the world. Being playful means being active, so the workshop will also feature several tasks using games, the ways space can be a key factor, and developing some approaches to modes of engagement using some design thinking principles.

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”.

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.
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.

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.
