My Space Portfolios in health professional education- Dr Zarrin S SiddiqulePortfolios Australia
Principles of Assessment and Evaluation is a postgraduate unit offered to Health Professionals. Structured Portfolio Assessment in Competence based Education (SPACE) is the major assessment of the unit with 60% weighting. It requires students to provide evidence of achievement against the unit learning outcomes and the UWA educational principles. While students had earlier an option to submit paper based or digital portfolio, in 2013 - 14 the only option was to submit eportfolio . This
presentation provides insight into the process and lessons learnt along with sample snapshots from the student created e-portfolios.

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.
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.

2. HEAR AT ULSTER
• Introduction
• Background and Context
• What is the HEAR?
• Why Develop a HEAR?
• Benefits for Students and Staff
• HEAR at Ulster - The Progress So Far
• HEAR…. What’s Next? The Challenges Ahead
3. HEAR AT ULSTER
• Background and Context
– Bologna Declaration
– Burgess Review (2004)
– Burgess Implementation Steering Group (BISG)
(2005)
– Steering Group proposals (2007)
4. HEAR AT ULSTER
• What is the HEAR?
• The HE White Paper for England (2010) noted
– ‘the higher education sector has been developing the
HEAR to provide a richer description of student
achievement, including information about module
marks, academic credit and other achievements that
can be verified by their institution…..we expect to see
most institutions developing HEARs for all their
undergraduate students from September 2012’
– Core template framework reflecting a more detailed
and rounded view of a student’s experience and
achievements
5. HEAR AT ULSTER
• Why Develop a HEAR?
• Greater financial investment than ever before.
• All stakeholders should have detailed information on
what is behind a particular class of degree.
• Students require more than just a certificate.
• Employers have clearly defined qualities they are
looking for in graduates.
6. HEAR AT ULSTER
• … So a HEAR =
• Academic Transcript (module marks and grades)
• Diploma Supplement
• Additional Information esp Section 6.1 a ‘richer picture’
of student achievement, verified additional
achievements recorded under on of three headings:
– University, Professional and Departmental Prizes
– Measured or assessed performance in non-academic contexts
accredited by, or with external accreditation recognised by
the University, eg employability awards
– Additional formal roles for which no recognition is provided in
terms of academic credit, eg Students’ Union officers.
7. HEAR AT ULSTER
• In Other Words….
– The HEAR has 2 main parts:
• Accredited achievements in the formal curriculum
• Verified achievements in the co-curriculum
– In Addition:
• Template - simple, clear, consistent, stringently defined
with core elements
• Electronic – allowing details to be added as a student
progresses through their course
• Acceptable, Equitable, Transparent, Reliable,
Administratively Manageable, Motivational and
Verified
8. HEAR AT ULSTER
• What are the Benefits for Students and Staff?
– Enhances student experience giving a more holistic and transparent
acknowledgement of achievement
– Explicit record of employability skills with evidence
– Encourages students to articulate why they are employable
– To be used formatively as a means for student development
– Encourages students to be reflective
– Supports more strategic approaches to public and community
engagement
– Strengthens the links between the institution and Students Union
– Ulster perspective: Employability is critical, Student Experience,
Widening Participation and Fees Agenda.
9. HEAR AT ULSTER
• HEAR Key Sections

qualities, Professional/practical skills, Transferrable skills
• Programme Details including qualification obtained, date of
award, grading scheme, award classification and Ulster graduate
qualities.

10. HEAR AT ULSTER
• HEAR at Ulster – the Progress so Far
– Work on the European Diploma Supplement meant
that much information required for HEAR was already
available:
• Transcripts, University Prizes, Study Abroad, Additional
Awards, eg EDGE
– Working with Faculties and Schools, Departments and
Students Union to establish process to allow for
verification of additional achievements
– Ensure equity of access
– HEAR on Student and Staff Portal
– Section 6.1 ‘Live’
19. HEAR AT ULSTER
• HEAR…..What’s Next?
• Challenges ahead
– What does Verification look like and who will do it?
– Verification of recently approved 6.1 activities
– Training and Guidelines
– How do we ensure equity of opportunity for all students?
– Inclusion of Learning Outcomes, University Prizes,
Placements and Study Abroad
– Digital Signature
– Scaling up to work for all students
– What about part timers, PG students?
