You have been to NUS Second Life, seen the University Hall, hung out with the student. Have you ever wondered how some in-world academic activities have progressed? NM3210: Cybercrime and Society, conducted by Ms Sofia Morales, a pioneer in spearheading in-world classes in NUS Second Life has done more than its usual in-world chat discussion and debate classes this semester. During eLearning Week, all 100 students in this module took part in The Cybercrime Quest, which was weaved into part of the week's curriculum. The students produced a gallery of research findings at the end of the module. This session will discuss and showcase how the module has effectively harnessed the immersive advantages of Second Life in its design and implementation of The Cybercrime Quest as a pedagogical enhancement and multimodal delivery of learning during eLearning Week 2010 and beyond.

Drupal CDN integration: easier, more flexible and faster!Wim Leers
90% of the page loading time is spent on retrieving CSS, JavaScript and images. There are lots of techniques to reduce this, but using a CDN is the most effective. Currently it's expensive to integrate with a CDN (especially if you want to avoid vendor lock-in) and it's hard to serve file A from a CDN, file B from a static file server and file C from neither. In this session, you'll learn about the push-to-CDN model, which makes all of this trivial.
Session Overview
This session will explain how a CDN (Content Delivery Network) improves page loading times and how you should analyze the page loading performance while evaluating a CDN. Existing techniques for integrating a CDN with Drupal will be compared and an alternative, comprehensive solution will be presented.
Agenda
- How pages are loaded by the browser
- How a CDN improves page loading times
- Evaluating the results
- Existing Drupal CDN integration techniques
- Push-to-CDN model: pros & cons
- CDN integration module: synchronization via Drupal or highly scalable daemon
- Alternative uses: create your own CDN, massive back-up tool
Goals
- You should have a good overview of the different techniques to integrate Drupal with a CDN.
- You should have learned how you can evaluate page loading performance to know which files should be served from a CDN.
As many already know by now, 80 to 90% of the response time of a web page is dependent on the page loading performance (the fetching of the HTML and all files referenced). This is different from the page rendering performance, which is just the time it takes to generate the HTML. Drupal already tackles several issues pretty well. But there's more we can do!
You can solve several additional problems today, just by installing extra modules (such as Support file Cache), by configuring Apache (e.g. gzipped output), or by configuring some shell scripts (e.g. to optimize image files). I'll explain you how to apply these solutions.
For most Drupal sites, CDN integration and putting JS at the bottom of the page have the biggest impact. However, these two techniques are currently very hard to apply properly to Drupal: both require hacks to Drupal core. My aim is to solve both of these problems as part of my bachelor thesis. I'll explain how I expect to solve this and the impact of both issues on your site.

Learning to Make Your Own Reality - IGDA Education Keynote 2009Jane McGonigal
What new kinds of games will we play in the future, and what key knowledge and skills will game developers need to invent them? Futurist and game designer Jane McGonigal argues that over the next decade, games will become a powerful interface for managing our real work, organizing society, and optimizing our real lives. Increasingly, she predicts, game developers will be charged with the task of making people happier, smarter, friendlier, greener, and healthier -- and hundreds of millions of new gamers will be playing together at home, at school, at work, and everywhere in between. The result? Game design and development expertise will become a sought-after talent in virtually every industry and field, from Fortune 500 companies to top government agencies. Indeed, the future is brighter for game developers than ever before. But making games that aim to improve our quality of life and to re-invent society as we know it will require a new set of design skills and content expertise beyond what we traditionally teach in game programs. In this keynote, you'll find out the top five design competencies (such as 'technology foresight' and the ability to generate and measure 'participation bandwidth') and the five most important subject areas (such as positive psychology and mass collaboration) for this new class of reality-changing game developers.
The key takeaway of this talk: We can live in any world we want but only if we teach the next generation of game developers what they need to know in order to imagine and make new and better realities.
This is the short presentation introducing into the gamification hype. It is the intellectual junk for our left brains that does not explain what happens in the GAME DESIGN LAB but calms down our ratio. Have fun and start playing for real!

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.
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.

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
