Presentation given by Marieke Guy at Online International Conference as part of the
Online Information Seminars/Information Masterclasses, December 1st 2009, London.
This document discusses working remotely and cloud computing. It defines remote working as operating away from the physical workplace using internet-based technologies. The document outlines advantages like reduced costs and increased productivity, as well as disadvantages like less connection with colleagues. It then introduces cloud computing as internet-based computing resources and data delivered on demand, and cloud services like infrastructure-as-a-service. Finally, it provides an introduction and tutorial to Dropbox as a cloud storage and file synchronization software as a service.
This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) influence how organizations and individuals work. It covers several topics: teleworking/remote working where employees work from home using ICT; office-based working where employees work from an office connected to computer networks; video conferencing which allows interactions between multiple locations; phone conferencing for group discussions; instant messaging for real-time text communication; and faxing for sending documents. The document outlines advantages and disadvantages of teleworking for employees, employers, and the environment, as well as jobs that are suitable for telework.
This study was undertaken to know and understand the challenges of remote working and it’s impact
to workers. The research objectives generally aims to determine the following: (1) the media of communication
between the company and its remote workers? (2) the important skills needed to be a remote worker? (3) the
possible benefits and challenges of working remotely? (4) the difficulties encountered by a remote worker?
Further, descriptive method of research was used in this study and the instrument used in gathering data is a
researcher-constructed questionnaire
A presentation I did on behalf of Salesforce.com for their Cloud Executive Series. It covers four immutable trends of clomosoda:cloud mobile social and data. The underlying message that the pace of change is increasing and Institutions are not keeping pace with customers and employees. It also covers opportunities with crowds and development communities with a number of real life examples. It includes results from a recent survey of HR people across Australian organisations to highlight the current attitudes to Social Media and seeks to break the myth that Social reduces productivity when the reality is that it can significantly increase it.
The document discusses techniques, practices, and policies around telecommuting based on a presentation given by Paul Gray at a CIO breakfast round table. It defines telecommuting and outlines its history. Some key findings from research on telecommuting over the last 35 years are that it can increase productivity, save companies money, help the environment, and act as an incentive to attract and retain workers. However, telecommuting requires careful planning and management. Technology advances now make telecommuting easier, but security and employee engagement must still be addressed.
Digital transformation: the digital workplaceMosoco Ltd
This document discusses how digital technologies are transforming the modern workplace. It covers topics like remote working, hot-desking, digital collaboration, and how HR functions can be improved with technology. Remote working allows for flexible hours but can impact team cohesion. Hot-desking saves on office space but impacts personal workspace and information security. Digital tools improve collaboration through real-time document editing and commenting. HR recruitment can leverage social media for cheaper hiring and employer branding, while employee skills and engagement can be better tracked online. Overall, the workplace is becoming more digitally-enabled and remote.
Telecommuting, also known as teleworking, is defined as replacing a daily commute to a central workplace with telecommunication links. It is commonly used in fields like data processing, management, IT, insurance, and for freelancers and accountants. Current trends include distributed work, virtual offices, coworking and microjobs. The advantages are avoiding long commutes, employee freedom, and potential energy conservation. However, drawbacks include distractions at home, increased risk of data loss, feelings of isolation, less chances of promotion, and potential scams.

Closing remarks: Assessment with Phill DawsonMarieke Guy
Marieke Guy gave the closing remarks for the assessment conference at UCL. She highlighted several themes from the conference including cross-team, cross-institution, and cross-sector collaboration on digital assessment. Two talks focused on using feedback to improve student learning and preparing students for their future through valid assessments not tied to the past. The conference organizers and host King's College London were thanked for their work in bringing people together to discuss advancing assessment practices.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Simon Walker and Marieke Guy about the University College London's (UCL) journey towards digital transformation of assessment and feedback.
Some key points:
- UCL implemented a secure digital assessment platform called AUCL in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to deliver over 1,000 assessments remotely.
- Since then UCL has expanded usage of AUCL, with over 1,600 exams and 65,000 students using it in year two.
- Student and staff surveys showed mostly positive feedback but also areas for improvement like assessment weightings, duration, and content representation.
- UCL is piloting lockdown browsers, improving academic integrity, and partnering with
The document summarizes UCL's pilot of using a lockdown browser for digital assessments. It describes the rationale for using a lockdown browser, details four pilot programs conducted or planned at UCL involving different locations, devices and numbers of students, and key areas of interest being evaluated including device type, online management and invigilation, and student and staff perspectives. The goal is to assess the viability and scalability of using lockdown browsers to help ensure academic integrity for digital assessments conducted in-person.

Making your mind up: Formalising the evaluation of learning technologies Marieke Guy
The document discusses the need for institutions to take a more formal approach to evaluating learning technologies. It introduces some existing evaluation frameworks like the Educause rubric and SECTIONS model. It then outlines UCEM's approach, which involved thoroughly investigating requirements, identifying systems to evaluate, developing a testing plan based on the Educause rubric, testing functionality and data flows, and involving stakeholders before selecting a new assessment platform. Attendees at the talk were asked to provide ideas on evaluation processes and challenges through a Mural board.
The document describes several video assessment techniques that can be used for students:
1. Students record or upload a video presentation on a topic and receive automatic feedback to improve their presentation skills.
2. Students upload a video demonstrating a skill and receive feedback to enhance their competency.
3. In a virtual classroom, students collaborate to record a group presentation and provide peer assessment on each other's contributions.
4. Students record video responses to pre-recorded questions to practice interview techniques through a standardized question/answer approach.
This document discusses alternative assessment methods and provides rationales and ideas for various approaches. It proposes using video assessments to allow students to practice real-world skills, eportfolios to enable continuous assessment and reflection, and industry case studies/scenarios to provide authentic assessments aligned with industry. Other suggestions include mini-quizzes for varied engagement and assessment, and balancing new approaches with resources. The goal is to better prepare students through assessment practices that mimic the real world.
The Transnational Online Pivot: A Case Study Exploring Online Delivery in ChinaMarieke Guy
This document summarizes a case study exploring the transition to online delivery of teaching content in China due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Academics from the Royal Agricultural University normally travel to China to teach students in-person, but had to shift to delivering pre-recorded lectures and holding interactive Zoom sessions. While online teaching can overcome geographical barriers, it also presents challenges like language differences and student engagement. Feedback from students indicated interactive sessions worked best when broken into shorter segments. Academics found recording lectures technically straightforward but time-consuming and felt isolated from students. Mixed methods were argued to provide multiple views for understanding the student experience in this transnational online environment.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
