A/Professor Jia-Lin Yang has made a distinctive contribution by creating and delivering a ‘scientist-based’, integrative professional, career and ePortfolio learning (IPCEL) curriculum for senior undergraduate cancer science (PATH3208) students. His interactive ePortfolio approach encourages students to think and act like a scientist and to develop the understanding and professional skills for a career in science, providing students with the confidence and capabilities needed ‘to be’ a scientist and leading to careers in science. He used self-efficacy assessment to evaluate and foster student authentic learning. The application of the interactive eportfolio has synergised student 'scientist-based' integrative professional and career development learning. The consequence of the IPCEL approach on students by the end of the course is a high proportion of them get into postgraduate research studies, of whom over half are female, because the students have been motivated as evident by high academic performance, high satisfaction and high self-efficacy.

Implementation of PebblePad ePortfolios as an assessment tool in a mixed-mode...ePortfolios Australia
ePortfolios are re-shaping the landscape of higher education through changes in how students learn and how faculty teach. To be considered a meaningful mechanism for the development of knowledge, ePortfolios must focus on reflection and the assessment of that reflection, and enable the creation of connections between learning experiences that happen in various contexts and environments, thus supporting deep learning.
ePortfolio, using PebblePad, was implemented as an innovative assessment tool in an Indigenous business course - 3100AFE Engaging with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Business Communities. In this presentation we will take you through how the student learning needs were addressed by use of PebblePad as an ePortfolio platform, impact of its use, and the key issues - what worked and what did not, and advice for other academics who are thinking to (1) use eportfolios as an assessment tool, and (2) use of PebblePad as an ePortfolio tool.

Translating research experiences to employability skills: using evidence to m...Kirsten Zimbardi
Invited presented for the 2015 Australasian Pharmaceutical Science Association (APSA) and Australian Society for Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Toxicology (ASCEPT) Joint Scientific Meeting (Hobart, Tasmania).
Abstract:
All graduates need the skills and habits of mind to solve the complex, unstructured problems they will face in the 21st Century workforce (Bybee & Fuchs, 2006). In science, analysing technical literature, identifying conflicts and gaps, developing relevant, testable hypotheses, collecting and analysing the evidence to these hypotheses, and putting forward reasonable, specific and qualified conclusions, is our bread and butter – the basis of scientific reasoning (Kuhn & Pease 2008). Research experiences and inquiry-based curricula aim to help undergraduate students develop these habits of mind and cognitive skills (Zimbardi & Myatt, 2012). In our inquiry-based curricula we have documented the development of students’ scientific reasoning skills (Zimbardi et al., 2013) and their understanding of the contestable nature of scientific knowledge (Zimbardi et al., in press). We have also developed a series of meta-cognitive assessment items which have reveal students’ ability to translate these learning outcomes into employability skills. Specifically, undergraduate biomedical science students in their final semester are provided with a job interview scenario and asked behavioural questions (e.g “Tell me about a time when you successfully used your scientific problem skills”) and hypothetical questions (e.g “Suggest a potential approach for investigating this issue…”). Students’ responses to these open-ended questions have revealed the diverse skill levels amongst the cohort in translating educational experiences to workplace situations. Notably, we have found several underlying assumptions and misconceptions that hinder students’ articulation of their employability skills, as well as useful models of specific, evidence-based, and convincing, approaches to answering such questions.

Eportfolio is an integral part of the implementation of Macquarie University’s award-winning Bachelor of Arts (BA) Transferable Skills Framework (TSF). BA students can directly correlate their academic work to real job requirements - connecting their learning (both inside and outside of the classroom) with career opportunities. The TSF is designed to make explicit connections between coursework and employability skills, assisting students in recognising the capabilities they gain during their educational journey. The ePortfolio tool is intertwined with the coursework, where students can curate a digital showcase of their curricular and other achievements, projects, and competencies. This presentation will narrate the story of integrating an ePortolio and associated pedagogy across the BA. The focus will be on the activities undertaken to ensure a programmatic implementation of an ePortfolio and the lessons learned from the first year of implementation.

"Macquarie University worked with students, academics, and major industry partners including the NSW Government, Accenture, Hays, EY, Deloitte, Adobe, and CBA in reimagining the Bachelor of Arts degree which won the Employability Award at the Australian Financial Review (AFR) Higher Education Awards 2020. The outcome of this voyage resulted in the creation of an innovative, transformative, and capability-driven Transferable Skills Framework that is embodied in the curriculum by integrating lifelong learning aspects with a strong emphasis on pedagogy, employability, and digital fluency.
To deliver these aspects, the University conducted a comprehensive technology landscape assessment which followed an enterprise-level implementation of a digital ePortfolio platform. A digital ecosystem was established by amalgamating ePortfolio technology with education design and employability. In this panel session, the discussion will be centred around the critical aspects of implementing a befitting digital ePortfolio system and ways to leverage it in support of enhancing lifelong learning."

The Digital Ethics ePortfolio Task Force for the Association for Authentic, Experiential, & Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL) continued to bring together international ePortfolio scholars and practitioners to establish research-based digital practices for ePortfolio stakeholders, including institutions, students, educators, and administrators. Phase one developed an online interactive resource, Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 1, which outlines strategies, scenarios, and resources around ten principles. This second iteration adds additional principles related to ePortfolio evaluation practices; practices that encourage diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; and visibility of labour. In Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 2, revisions to the original ten principles integrate information regarding eProfessionalism and legal issues that can intersect with ePortfolio practice. The original online visual interface has also been upgraded. This expanded version of the principles document continues to articulate explicit and applicable practices relevant to ePortfolio creators, educators, platform creators, and administrators of programs and institutions with ePortfolio requirements.

The benefits of reflective practice and eportfolio based learning are widely acknowledged in the literature, however, little work has evaluated its impact vis-à-vis a Culinary Arts curriculum. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore third year BA Culinary and Gastronomic Science student experiences of developing a reflective practice eportfolio at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology. A mixed method approach, using convenience sampling was implemented. Semi-structured interviews were held with experts in the field of eportfolio based learning and reflective practice in Ireland. Participants were voluntarily surveyed, to gather information on their experiences of developing a reflective practice eportfolio. The results highlighted tangible opportunities and barriers for undertaking a reflective practice eportfolio for the participants. Eportfolio based learning is rooted in a complex pedagogy, and its potential can only be realised if the processes underlying reflective practice are properly understood by all stakeholders. It’s imperative that the purpose of the reflective practice eportfolio is clearly defined, requirements are communicated, digital capabilities are measured. and training is delivered, rubrics are created, exemplars are shared, and support is provided, in order for it to be successfully adopted. Positive results depends on successful implementation.
Digital ethics and portfolios: What's next? Kristina Hoeppner Megan Haskins ePortfolios Australia
Over the last two years, the AAEEBL Digital Ethics Task Force explored principles of digital ethics and how they relate to portfolio work and can be integrated into portfolios. In this conversation, the Task Force wants to explore with participants what practical implementations of the principles can look like, discuss possible research topics and collaborations, and where to go next with this topic. Establishing the principles was the first step in an effort to raise awareness about digital ethics in portfolios and support students, academics, researchers, staff, institutions, and also portfolio platform creators to come together, discuss often difficult topics around digital ethics, and how to improve on our current practices.

Assessment and Feedback Using ePortfolios: Shifting to a New Paradigm of Prac...ePortfolios Australia
ePortfolio practice focuses on reflective pedagogies and iterative submissions of student assessment responses. Students are encouraged to store learnings in their ePortfolio to showcase their strengths to different audiences. Innovations in practice come and go depending on buy-in and resource allocation. Once again, the world is significantly changing and the ‘new’ future of post COVID-19 remains ambiguous. In this paper, we propose a paradigm shift that facilitates a dialogic process around the collection of feedback a student receives in their ePortfolio. The design of an assessment regime sets the stage for active student participation in curating their individual feedback from self, peers, educators or industry. The aim of this process is for students to get a personalised reconstruction of their learning progress, through collaborative and social learning opportunities. In this paper we will offer further explanation of how this paradigm impacts practice in today’s digital era.

Student-Led, Individually-Created Courses (SLICCs) are a scalable and flexible experiential learning and assessment framework using an e-portfolio, awarding academic credit for experiential learning. The framework is based on five learning outcomes that students contextualise for themselves, with support from within the framework and feedback from faculty. These learning outcomes are stratified across the academic levels, through pre-honours, honours, masters, to professional doctorate. The framework provides the flexibility for faculty to offer boundaries to the learning experience, or for students to entirely define their own experience, bringing the extra-curricular into the formal curriculum. SLICCs are supported by a small team, and a comprehensive array of resources for students, tutors, faculty and administrators (more information available at http://www.ed.ac.uk/sliccs). SLICCs are now becoming well-established across the University of Edinburgh, with more than 20 courses using the framework, and there is increasing interest from other institutions in viewing and adopting the approach.

At the School of Medicine at Western Sydney University a portfolio was introduced to first year students in 2019 to promote self-regulated learning and skills in reflection. Student portfolios are reviewed and discussed with academic advisors. Curriculum design and teaching students, advisors and staff are critical to the successful implementation of a portfolio.
Building a Pandemic ePortfolio using the Karuta Open Source Portfolio 3.0 Jac...ePortfolios Australia
"The coronavirus pandemic has dramatically changed the landscape of higher education. Over a short period of time, courses have moved online with students being required to adapt to new ways of learning.
Although many tools have been used to enhance the student learning experience, many researchers have long advocated a more holistic, personal, and integrative approach. As eloquently presented by Jenson and Treuer (2014), learning should be put in a much broader context where courses, co-curricular activities, internships, work, and personal experiences, contribute to what are called 20th century lifelong learning skills (collecting, self-regulating, reflecting, integrating, and collaborating).
The Pandemic ePortfolio is an illustration of this more integrative approach using Karuta 3.0, a simple and flexible open source ePortfolio tool supported by the Apereo Foundation. See how a simple yet powerful workflow has been designed to help students make sense of this difficult period.

Supporting students to develop their teacher identity through scaffolded port...ePortfolios Australia
"A pre-service teacher education course has a dual purpose. It provides future teachers with the knowledge they require to teach, but it also must also serve to transform the student and enable them to become the teacher. This change of identity is not a sudden transition that happens when a student graduates, rather it needs to be embedded from the start of the course and then progressively developed throughout the learning journey.
This presentation describes how PebblePad workbooks are used in a curriculum content unit to scaffold students to write, speak and think as teachers. The workbooks contain assessment tasks with sequenced response pages containing guiding questions, hints and modelled construction. The tasks progress from simple to complex across the unit and include many opportunities for the student to practice the skills needed to develop their identity as a teacher. "
Moving from a paper-based nursing clinical placement tool to an online portfolio platform was not without its challenges. In the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Edith Cowan University a whole of school approach was adopted that incorporated not only the 3000 plus student body but academics, professional staff, and clinical placement administrators. This resulted in rewards that were seen and felt way beyond the technology used to support it. The adage 'It Takes a Village' was never truer in overcoming the challenges faced, however, ultimately determined the success of this story and ability to showcase the student learning journey.
New Spaces of Belonging: ePortfolios, Community and Digital Placemaking Brian...ePortfolios Australia
The shift to a physically distanced yet digitally connected campuses in response to COVID-19 has rendered visible the criticality of student-led technologies to engender a sense of community and belonging among students. This paper addresses the social and pedagogical value of ePortfolios in building a sense of belonging within in Higher Education by investigating synergies between well-established ePortfolio pedagogies and the cross-disciplinary fields of digital placemaking and innovative learning environment design. It addresses the need to create critical digital pedagogical models that are agnostic to the physical constraints of campus spaces and identify the utility of space as a heuristic for improved learning outcomes and increasing learner agency and belonging among scholarly communities of peers. Finally, the paper offers insights into spatiality for learning and belonging that achieve a balance of constructively aligned digital spaces while affording opportunities for student agency, ownership and belonging to community in the digital realm.
Lifelong Learning ePortfolios: a media-rich technology for capturing and evid...ePortfolios Australia
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.

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.

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.
