Abstract: Social media tools such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have become common place for personal use, but how do we leverage these free tools to not only connect with our clientele but promote Extension to new audiences. Currently, there are 25 million Twitter accounts, over 500 million active Facebook users and 2 billion videos watched daily on YouTube, therefore, it makes sense for Extension to have a presence where users are spending time. For Extension personnel, understanding the benefits and learning the uses of social media tools is a tremendous opportunity to transition our past outreach excellence into a new, non-traditional format for the future. Join us to learn how to engage your clients, colleagues and supporters in social networks as well as exposure Extension content to a new demographic.
The presentation gives the basic idea on how internet is used as a powerful tool for education. In India UGC is the apex body for higher education. Also find information on INFLIBNET centre which is an Autonomous Inter-University Centre (IUC) of University Grants Commission (UGC) of India.

Teaching and Assessment Strategies for Self-Directed LearningUnisa
The low throughput rate in programming courses worldwide, especially on the first-year level, have been researched for many years. This has led to research published on the different teaching, assessment and learning methods, which can be used for programming courses. However, implementing these suggested assessment methods in the Open Distance e-Learning domain poses challenges. This conference paper will discuss the combination of assessment methods to improve learning, and reliably measure essential theoretical, practical and communication skills of first-year programming students. An approach focussing on data analysis was followed, and the research was quantitative in nature. The findings in this paper will show that pass rates should not always be considered as the sole indicator of the success or failure of the implementation of online teaching, assessment and learning methods. Experiences and outcomes shared in this paper offer programming instructors and the e-learning community in general an opportunity to make decisions on the extent to which they can use the teaching, assessment and learning strategies employed in this research in their own settings.

E-learning environment tools to address online and open distance education co...Unisa
The aim of the research reported on in this paper relates to providing an initial quantitative perspective on e-learners’ uptake of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) tools towards effective teaching for meaningful e-learning to address the challenges related to an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) module taught in an online and open distance education context. More specifically, the main research question addressed in this paper relates to the uptake of VLE tools by first year programming e-learners in an ICT module offered by the University in South Africa. The objective of the study reported on in this paper is ultimately to help e-learners access the assessment and support provided via the VLE towards effective teaching for meaningful e-learning, thus possibly improving the pass rate of the module. Examples of how significant concepts are formulated and situated within an appropriate theoretical and conceptual framework in this paper are provided. The paper proceeds to a review of the literature on research into e-learners’ uptake of VLE tools towards effective teaching for meaningful e-learning, in order to thus increase pass rates, in some cases in online and/or open distance education contexts. Related literature presenting opportunities for further investigation are also included. In terms of methodology, the research reported on in this paper adopted a non-experimental quantitative research design. The data collection instrument used was a survey, with the respondent sample representing 19% of the e-learner population. Quantitative results are presented on how much and which VLE tools e-learners in this module used, including to e.g. contact their teacher and e-learning tutor services. In conclusion, recommendations will be formulated regarding the theoretical improvement of the implementation of VLE tools for the effective teaching of an ICT module in an online and open distance education context, while implications for universities regarding transforming towards effective teaching with VLE tools are considered.
Using vodcasts to teach programming in an odl environmentUnisa
Novice programmers cannot study the content knowledge of their field only, they must develop the practical skills required to use and apply their knowledge. These skills can only be obtained by demonstrations and practicing the writing of code. The novice programmer thus needs access to a skilled programmer and time in front of a computer to practice their skills. As the University of South Africa (Unisa) is an Open Distance Learning (ODL) institution with students from across the country, the continent and even the world, it is quite difficult to provide students with access to a skilled programmer. An alternative method had to be devised to take the skilled programmer out of the computer laboratory to the student. Ideally this alternative could then introduce the students to the programming requirements, without them having to attend any classes thus ensuring the time they spend in front of their computers writing code were used effectively. Enter “Video On-Demand broadcast”, better known as podcast. The presentation will show how podcasts was made, integrated into the learning material and implemented on the myUnisa Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
Choosing a blog tool for large student numbers Unisa
The importance of web-logging as a teaching tool has been proven by various studies over the last few years. At the University of South Africa (Unisa) two weblog tools were used during different semesters to assist in teaching a first year programming language. A comparison was made from the learner, the facilitator and the technical viewpoint of these two weblog tools available at Unisa. This paper describes the practical considerations taken and decision-making processes followed when a choice between two web-logging tools was required. The aim is to consider factors that may affect the acceptance and use of weblog tools, and reasons why one works better than another in an Open Distance Learning (ODL) environment, especially for modules having student numbers in excess of three hundred.

BEYOND THE HORIZON OF LEARNING PROGRAMMING WITH EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIESUnisa
The research aim relates to providing perspectives on students’ uptake of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) technologies in an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) module taught in an Open and Distance e-Learning (ODeL) context. The objective of the study is to help students access the assessment and support provided via the VLE, possibly improving the pass rate of the module. Examples of how concepts were formulated within the theoretical and conceptual framework are provided. The methodology adopted a non-experimental quantitative research design. The data collection instrument was a survey. Results are presented on which VLE technologies students in this module used, including to e.g, contact their lecturer and e-tutors. Concluding, recommendations are formulated regarding improving implementing VLE technologies for an ICT module in an ODeL context.
The rapid and continuous changes in technology place lecturers using web 2.0 and web 3.0 technologies in their online courses in a predicament. The question uppermost is how to determine which tool will suit the circumstance of the students and lecturers and the teaching model adopted by the institution the best. This is an important question because every lecturer adopting technology as part of their teaching strategy is confronted with the question whether the tool they are using will enhance their pedagogy, incorporate different learning strategies and ultimately improve the performance outcomes of the entire qualification. Incorporating technology into teaching for the mere purpose of using technology, without considering the pedagogical implications, will cause a lot more harm than good.
The research reported on in this paper relates to providing an initial quantitative perspective on the use of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) tools towards effective teaching and meaningful learning of Computer Programming in an Open and Distance Learning (ODL) context. More specifically, the main research question addressed in this paper relates to the use of specific VLE tools by first year programming students and their effectiveness towards teaching and meaningful learning.
Our position is that the implementation of knowledge blogging is particularly well suited to introductory programming courses if such blogging demands meta-cognitive activities through continued engagement with the course work. Making use of objective measures in search of a relationship between the use of knowledge blogs and performance outcome, this paper asks the question if students who participated in knowledge blogs performed better in the summative assessment than students who did not blog. Of interest were the relationship between a student’s blogging mark (BM) and exam mark (EM). Using data extracted from the intuitional database for a period of 5 semesters, the authors are encouraged by some results which showed a significant difference to exist between the EMs of students who blogged and students who did not blog. This finding held true regardless if students passed or failed the course. For this reason, we suggest knowledge blogging to be a constructive learning tool in a programming environment since it promotes metacognition and differentiated instruction by nurturing multiple learning skills. http://academic-conferences.org/icel/icel2014/icel14-home.htm

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.

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.
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.
