A talk delivered for the Vermont Library Association in October 2016. This paper presents the initiatives currently being undertaken by Champlain College library to reach online students and faculty.
This document compares Twitter and Edublogs as platforms for personal learning networks (PLNs). PLNs are composed of individuals networked together who share information and resources. Twitter allows users to follow hashtags to access relevant information and most professional organizations use it to keep members informed. Edublogs enable educators to collaborate and receive immediate feedback from students, and can be used for assessment. While social networks can facilitate PLNs, PLNs incorporate multiple resources for information, unlike social networks which focus on communication and entertainment.
This document discusses how technology can be incorporated into student learning. It outlines technologies that are currently used in classrooms like smartboards, powerpoints, and occasional internet use. It then suggests additional technologies that could be used at Milton High School like blogs, educational apps on cell phones, social media platforms like Edmodo and Moodle, and Google applications. Specific apps and websites are described that allow blogging, sharing content, turning in assignments, accessing grades and discussions online to better engage students with technology.
Genazzano College, an independent Catholic girls' school in Melbourne, has implemented the use of Double Robotics telepresence technologies both in and out of the classroom to allow remote access and communication for students, parents, teachers, and staff. This includes enabling students to attend classes remotely when unable to be physically present, giving tours to prospective students and families, providing IT support from off-site, and allowing the principal and teachers to participate in meetings while traveling. The document discusses several use cases that have demonstrated how Double Robotics can effectively be used for remote learning, assistance, and participation in school activities.
The document discusses how Twitter has been an effective professional learning network for the author. Over the semester, the author followed more accounts that were retweeted by original accounts, growing their PLN. They also gained followers as they contributed to discussions. In the future, the PLN on Twitter will allow the author to draw on a variety of educational resources and discuss techniques with other educators. The author's PLN on Twitter includes education organizations, news services, educational platforms, and divisions of tech companies that provide resources and ideas for using technology in teaching. Overall, Twitter has introduced the author to many important resources and opened communication channels that will help them stay informed on new developments in education.
There are five models of e-learning according to Kenneth Fee. They are online course, integrated online and offline learning, self-managed e-learning, live e-learning and electronic performance support.

Posterous versus homework noel jenkinsNoel Jenkins
This document compares Posterous and traditional homework and their benefits for developing a social learning network. Posterous allows for easy assignment of homework using online content and tools like attaching documents and media. It also enables teachers to track student work through RSS feeds and comment on assignments. This encourages students to improve their work and engage in peer assessment. However, there are also cons like ensuring student access to technology, controlling what students publish, and addressing plagiarism and e-safety issues.
This document provides instructions for first-time users on how to log into Moodle at Defiance College. It explains that Moodle can be accessed directly through the URL or via links on the college homepage or library webpage. Users log in with their DC email username and the same password they use to access campus computers. After logging in, users are directed to their Moodle homepage which lists available courses. If courses are not immediately visible, it may be because professors have not made them available yet. The document provides contact information for technical or Moodle-specific issues.
Technology is radically changing businesses - and the way training is delivered is also being significantly affected. Over the last decade, online training has risen in popularity. Blended learning - with both offline and online components - has also come into play, and yet offline is still very much an effective method to train others.

This document discusses Champlain College's use of a rubric-based e-portfolio approach to assess student learning of information literacy. Students receive information literacy instruction seven times throughout their undergraduate degree. A developmental rubric is used to assess student work samples from first year and junior year courses. Assessment findings show students perform at or beyond expected stages of development. Comparisons of year-to-year results track instructional changes and student growth in information literacy skills from first year to junior year. The e-portfolio approach benefits faculty through better understanding student abilities, but not all students participate.

Critical pedagogy: education in the practice of freedomAlan Carbery
Slides from a talk at the Vermont Library Association College & Special Libraries Conference, October 2015. Abstract: Our presentation focuses on the use of primary sources in library instruction to inspire students to think around issues of injustice and oppression. Following remarks on our chapter-in-progress for a book on Critical Library Instruction, the session will be devoted to introducing/discussing Critical Pedagogy and its influence on library instruction. Because Critical Pedagogy is dependent upon decentering the lecturer in favor of a participatory and community-driven style of learning, we hope this session can act as a forum for our colleagues to share ways in which they’ve incorporated facets of Critical Pedagogy into their instructional practice, ask questions about Critical Library Instruction, and offer any critiques they have of Critical Pedagogy/Critical Library Instruction. Delivered with Sean Leahy, Instruction & Learning Assessment Librarian, Champlain College.
This document discusses the journey of transforming learning and teaching at the University of Northampton. It outlines the university's vision of producing knowledgeable and socially responsible global citizens. It also describes the university's approach of Active Blended Learning (ABL), which integrates in-person and online learning. Some challenges of implementing ABL discussed include changing views on teaching, large class sizes, workload, and developing digital fluency among staff and students. The university addresses these challenges through evidence-based practices, robust support programs for faculty, and emphasizing faculty agency in the transformation process.
Large-scale pedagogic transformation to active blended learning at the Univer...Jisc
Speaker: Professor Alejandro Armellini, dean of learning and teaching, University of Northampton.
The University of Northampton is committed to developing knowledgeable graduates, who are socially responsible, digitally proficient and highly employable global citizens – the changemakers of the future. Active blended learning, Northampton’s new normal in learning and teaching, is one of our key approaches to deliver that aim.
This interactive presentation will offer a summary and a critique of the story so far: the rationale for the changes, the process of pedagogic transformation, the achievements, the challenges we have encountered and of course, those that lie ahead. It will also discuss these major pedagogic changes in the context of the move to the university’s new £350m Waterside campus, opening in September 2018.

This document summarizes research on the PeerWise online platform, where students create and answer multiple choice questions to support their learning. Key points:
- PeerWise allows students to develop questions, provide explanations, answer other students' questions, and rate questions. It has been used widely with over 500,000 questions created.
- Research at the University of Edinburgh found students engaged beyond requirements and helped correct each other's work, creating higher-level questions rather than exercises.
- Analysis of question quality found over 75% of student-generated questions were of high quality, assessing higher levels of thinking. Student explanations identified mistakes.
- PeerWise has been used across disciplines and institutions to scaffold learning
Active Blended Learning (ABL) is the University of Northampton's new standard approach to learning and teaching. ABL combines face-to-face classroom sessions with pre-session online content exposure and post-session online work. It aims to develop students' knowledge, independent learning, digital fluency, autonomy, and employability skills. The university will support faculty development and provide resources for ABL implementation, while addressing challenges like workload, space constraints, and digital transformation.
This document discusses the evolution of e-learning from E-Learning 1.0 to E-Learning 2.0 and the implications for quality. It notes that E-Learning 1.0 focused on distribution through learning management systems, while E-Learning 2.0 emphasizes collaboration, reflection, and user-generated content. Quality assessment must also evolve from evaluating formal learning to recognizing informal learning. The author proposes methods for quality assessment in E-Learning 2.0, including self-evaluation, peer assessment, and evaluation of e-portfolios. He questions how quality will be ensured in open learning environments like MOOCs that have high dropout rates and heterogeneous learners.
This document discusses the University of Northampton's adoption of Active Blended Learning (ABL) as its standard pedagogical approach. ABL combines face-to-face and online learning, with students completing pre- and post-session tasks. While ABL will not replace campus-based teaching, it aims to develop students' independent learning, digital skills, and employability. The document outlines challenges to implementing ABL at scale, such as changing faculty views on teaching, workloads, and developing digital fluency across campus. It proposes addressing these through evidence, support initiatives like training and resources, and ensuring faculty have agency in the transition.
Brief overview of New Curriculum for ILJane Secker
1) The document summarizes research conducted by Jane Secker and Emma Coonan to develop a new modular and holistic curriculum for information literacy.
2) They used a modified Delphi approach including a literature review and workshop feedback to design the curriculum.
3) The curriculum is grounded in the view that information literacy is fundamental to lifelong learning and development. It includes 10 themes to support students through the research process from transition to higher education to synthesizing knowledge.
E-learning has potential to support student-centered learning by enabling connections across barriers of distance and time, facilitating shared learning communities, and providing individualized resources. Schools should explore how information and communication technologies can not only supplement traditional teaching but open up new ways of learning. The e-learning lead team aims to develop expertise in integrating e-learning and formative assessment into teaching practice through peer coaching and inquiry learning. Their goals are to build an interactive professional development website and increase use of the school's learning management system to better communicate with students and families.
The document provides an overview of the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) at Carnegie Mellon University, which aims to transform teaching and learning through the application of science, technology, and data. Key points:
- OLI develops online courses grounded in learning science research and evaluates their effectiveness through data collection and analysis.
- Courses are produced through collaborative teams and incorporate interactive learning environments and personalized feedback.
- Evaluation shows OLI courses improve learning outcomes while accelerating time to completion and increasing access to education.
- OLI aims to share its open educational approach and continually improve based on research findings to support better learning and instruction.

Jane Secker and Maria Bell reported on work undertaken at London School of Economics and Political Science to enhance the information and digital literacy support for undergraduate students.
Embedding digital and informtion literacies into undergraduate teaching at LSEJane Secker
This document summarizes the results of an audit conducted at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) to assess undergraduate students' development of digital and information literacies. The audit found that while these literacies are seen as important, they are not fully embedded in the curriculum and support is inconsistent. In response, LSE is developing an information literacy framework, strengthening partnerships between library and learning support staff, and exploring ways to better integrate these skills into online learning and through student ambassadors. The goal is to make improvements sustainable and scalable, while continuing to measure progress through potential future audits.

Helen Lynch – Charles Sturt University – will share how a new scripted, scenario based, spiral curriculum is being rolled out for the first two trimesters of Associate Degree in Policing Practice (ADPP). One important feature of this new approach to teaching policing is technology supported classroom delivery with an emphasis on digital resources and curriculum materials. PebblePad e-portfolio is being used in the new curriculum as a learning and assessment platform.
The document discusses using social media to enhance authentic learning experiences for students. It describes challenges facing teachers from changing student demographics and learning styles. The author details trials of using social media like Google, Facebook and RSS feeds to promote self-directed learning, information sharing between students and schools, and teachers' professional development. The goal is to actively engage students and fine-tune teaching to their interests through more practical and social learning opportunities.
This document discusses the Blended Learning Consortium (BLC), which allows colleges to collaboratively develop and share high-quality online learning content. It has over 100 member colleges who vote on content areas and contribute staff to develop over 1600 hours of interactive content in various subjects. This shared content saves colleges significant development costs and promotes digital skills. Statistics show students using BLC content achieve higher grades on average. The consortium also allows members to collectively purchase digital tools at discounted rates. Going forward, the BLC aims to expand internationally and include higher education institutions.
This document discusses an information literacy staff development project called Lollipops for Learning Resources that was conducted at West Cheshire College. It provided concise online modules to familiarize staff with concepts of information literacy and how to use the college's virtual learning environment (VLE). Evaluation found that the project significantly increased staff perceptions of the importance of information literacy, their knowledge of related topics, and their familiarity with the VLE. Overall, the project was deemed an effective staff development tool to promote information literacy.

Media and information literacy: an inconvenient truthAlan Carbery
This document discusses four inconvenient truths about information literacy instruction. First, it is unclear how much of the instruction "sticks" with students and whether they are truly learning. Second, information literacy extends beyond the library and involves other parts of academia. Third, current models of library-centric instruction are not enough in the current information environment. Fourth, information literacy, media literacy, and data literacy are related but distinct concepts. The document calls for rethinking instructional approaches to better achieve intended goals of developing lifelong independent learners.
Connected efforts: combining information, digital, media & emerging literacie...Alan Carbery
This document discusses the role of libraries in developing various literacies, including information, digital, media, and technological literacies. It argues that libraries can play an important role in cultivating these literacies through curated learning opportunities and experiences. Developing these connected literacies is important for empowering people, achieving personal and social goals, and promoting inclusion and free access to information in today's digital world. The document examines some of the challenges around misinformation and the need for libraries to provide literacy development in a non-neutral, interdisciplinary space.
Opportunity Knocks: leveraging collaborative efforts for teaching and learnin...Alan Carbery
The document discusses opportunities for collaboration to strengthen information literacy instruction. It proposes embedding information literacy instruction at least seven times throughout students' undergraduate degrees through interdisciplinary collaboration. It advocates for librarians to collaborate inwards by sharing lesson plans, outwards by partnering with others across the university, and upwards and downwards to align with strategic plans and academic missions. The goal is to make information literacy a core competency by innovating and collaborating in new ways.
Academic Library Impact: an action-oriented research agendaAlan Carbery
This document summarizes research on measuring the impact of academic libraries. It identifies six key areas of focus for further research: communication, collaboration, mission alignment, teaching and learning, student success, and learning analytics. The document outlines potential research questions in each area and calls for proposals for an action-oriented research agenda to study library contributions to student learning and success.
This workshop was presented at the international ACRL Conference in Baltimore, Maryland in March 2017. This workshop looked at authentic assessment of information literacy using student coursework.

Inquiry based learning, blended instrution and critical pedagogy: navigating ...Alan Carbery
This document discusses an embedded information literacy program at Champlain College that provides instruction to all undergraduate students 7 times throughout their studies. It touches on using inquiry-based learning and blended instruction approaches as well as critical pedagogy. The document also notes challenges faced with changes to the core curriculum that resulted in increased teaching loads and potential loss of the embedded program.
Puzzle Pieces: Assessing Student Work using Rubrics & Citation Analysis for d...Alan Carbery
This document summarizes the findings of an assessment project that used rubrics and citation analysis to evaluate student annotated bibliographies. The assessment revealed several key findings about student research behaviors. Students chose a variety of source types but sometimes struggled with distinguishing primary and secondary sources. They also tended to select popular culture topics but omit academic sources for those topics. The assessment indicated students have a basic understanding of source authority but struggle more with writing annotations than finding sources. It provides recommendations to realign library instruction with threshold concepts and add a new lesson focused on primary sources.
Rubric & Citation Analysis Tool for Student AssessmentAlan Carbery
This document discusses two assessment tools used at Champlain College Library to evaluate student work and inform instructional design: an annotated bibliography rubric and a citation analysis worksheet. The rubric assesses bibliographies based on the presence of a thesis statement, source variety, citation quality, annotation completeness, and the overall impression of sources. The citation analysis worksheet is used to evaluate individual citations and analyze sources based on format, location, databases, author affiliation, primary/secondary nature, scholarly/popular appeal, currency, and CHOICE rating. These tools provide data to libraries on students' research skills and how to improve information literacy instruction.
Inquiry-based learning online: designing and delivering a blended and embedde...Alan Carbery
The document discusses mashups and sampling in music. It begins with a student agreeing with DJs that mashups have a symbiotic relationship with original music similar to how photography benefits from and pays tribute to architecture. The student uses the analogy of a photographer taking a picture of a building to show another perspective without stealing from the architects and builders. Other students further agree with this analogy, noting how mashups can introduce people to new artists and genres, and how viewing music as only the work of a single artist is too narrow since all art builds on influences from the past.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
