This document outlines Richard Voorhees' presentation to Community Colleges of Spokane in October 2010. The presentation discusses the changing landscape of higher education, including trends like non-traditional students, online learning, and workforce skills needs. It emphasizes the national goal to increase the percentage of Americans with postsecondary degrees or credentials from 39% to 60% by 2025. This will require increasing the number of degrees awarded each year. The presentation also discusses strategies for community colleges to develop strategic plans focused on student success through collaboration and a SWOT analysis.
Ken Kay (EdLeader21), Bill Taylor (St. George's), and Chris Thinnes (Curtis School) discuss EdLeader21's 7 steps and share examples of transformative practice from public and private schools. From a panel at the NAIS Annual Conference, 2013.
What am I good at?
What do I enjoy doing?
What values are important to me?
The journey to success begins with the question “What do you want to do?”
Except you no one else can define success for you. For Donald Trump, success meant making lots of money. For Ted Turner, it meant building a media empire that could challenge the major networks. For Albert Einstein it meant unraveling the secrets of the universe. For mother Theresa it meant ministering to the needs of the destitute in India.
You won’t really succeed unless the things you accomplish bring you pleasure and satisfaction.
Developing a Digital Citizenship ProgramCathy Oxley
Promoting responsible Digital Citizenship within the school environment.
Schools have a duty of care to teach students how to behave in responsible and ethical ways when using the internet. A negative online presence can have a profound impact on a student’s learning, and personal and professional life. This looks at ways of helping students create a positive digital footprint and the process for developing a whole school Digital Citizenship program. Includes examples of a wide range of sources schools can use when implementing such a program.

Online Learning In The Social Web: social media, web2.0, elearning, educationMichelle Pacansky-Brock
One in four college students took at least one online class is 2008. Are these online learning experiences consistent with the participatory, collaborative learning experiences college students engage in outside of their formal learning environments? How can web 2.0 tools be leveraged to bridge this pedagogical gap and make online learning dynamic, engaging, community-oriented and, overall, more successful?

The Modern Digital Learning Landscape: 5 Tips To Engage Gen Z and Millennial ...Aggregage
If 2020 hasn’t radically changed your approach to your learning program, it’s time to get in the digital learning game or risk being left behind. But if you’re searching for current, new ways to engage people online and keep your business thriving, look to your youngest learners. In the next 5 years, Millennials will comprise 75% of the workforce, and Gen Z is right behind them. To future-proof your learning program, make sure your content is designed with these young professional learners in mind.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, higher, health, and medical education environments have gone from previously packed lecture halls to now empty seats. How must institutions of academic medicine and advanced learning pivot, transform, and adapt in order to ready for and survive the uncertain future? We keep hearing "new normal," but It is not that it is a new normal, but a pathway toward the future that we are seeing more clearly and visibly. We just have to adapt and change more quickly, which will require a new way of thinking in order to navigate the future.

This session is aimed at managers with responsibility for the delivery and evaluation of online learning and teaching. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic colleges have been forced to make an abrupt shift to remote learning, often existing in makeshift offices. Join us as we examine the challenges that this new environment presents and the lessons learned thus far from approaches developed in other UK nations and further afield.
We will share our thoughts on what leaders have learned about how to manage their institution during this difficult time and how they are addressing the challenges now and anticipating those in the future. Colleagues will be invited to join the discussion, raise questions and contribute examples from their own experience.

A presentation by Michelle Asha Cooper, President of the Institute for Higher Education Policy to the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) on the college completion agenda.
This presentation looks at some of the issues and trends in technology that have emerged this year that some are saying will lead to the end of the traditional university and/or the traditional degree. Is 2013 the beginning of the end of the university, or the starting place for University 2.0?
This was a plenary session at Rutgers University's OIRT’s 2012 Technology in Learning Showcase on December 12, 2012, sponsored by the Office of Instructional and Research Technology.

It’s the End of the University As We Know It (and I feel fine)" was presented as an "Ignite" session at the 9th Annual NJEDge.Net conference (November 2012, New Jersey). It comes out of my ideas about how the next ten years will transform universities in ways that will be frightening for anyone hoping to hold onto the university model that has existed for almost 900 years. It is very likely that, powered by technology, movements such as open educational resources, MOOCs, big data, non-degree programs and alternatives to a traditional university degree will lead to the end of University 1.0. What will be the tipping point that brings about not only University 2.0 but also a broader School 2.0?

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives.

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.
