How Universities Can Continuously Improve Student Outcomes - Ken Michaels, In...marcus evans Network
Ahead of the marcus evans University Leadership Summit 2017, Ken Michaels discusses the insights university leaders need to continuously improve student outcomes
Tata Interactive Systems - Mapping ID to Performance NeedsTatainteractive1
http://www.tatainteractive.com/ : It is evident that the world of learning and performance—workplace, higher education, and individual—is undergoing a fundamental shift. Driven by forces that have been reshaping the world since personal computing became affordable and ubiquitous, trends like mobile, uber connectivity, big data and analytics, social media platforms, and the rise of the consumer (learners being one such) have added to the complexity and choices.
The paper addresses two fundamental questions:
As a growing body of schools and districts recognize the need for deeper, blended, competency-based learning environments for students, how must the role of leaders evolve to create and sustain them?
How must leader preparation and ongoing professional development evolve to fully enable teacher and leader success in this new environment? This paper explores these questions by capturing a diverse set of voices – ranging from current practicing principals to representatives from pioneering programs and organizations whose missions address educational leadership challenges. The team reviewed the literature on leadership development and spent a year tracking the progress of high-performing educational leadership programs, talking to practitioners and researchers at conferences and events to learn from others passionate about this work; this yielded dozens of conversations and 50 guest blog contributions to inform the research, resulting in a paper that is a compilation of many voices, perspectives and ideas.

Reinventing Learning Content for Next-Generation LearnersDavid Blake
Nearly 70% of the training that employers do is still delivered the old fashioned way – in instructor-led courses.(1) Yet there are now over 1,200 sources of learning content in dozens of formats. And workers are increasingly choosing bite-sized, on-demand, digital options that fit into how they really learn on-the-job.
In this presentation you will learn:
-The 3 big trends in how learning content is evolving
-Why MOOCs and micro-learning are just the beginning, and…
-How innovative L&D leaders are rethinking the ways they use content to keep up with today’s empowered, self-directed learners
25 Impact Opportunities In U.S. K-12 EducationCarri Schneider
With support from Vulcan Inc, a Paul Allen company, Getting Smart conducted a series of expert interviews with education and philanthropy leaders, and led a design workshop, to identify and vet impact investment strategies in U.S. K-12 education. This resulting report outlines opportunities where organizations can participate in making significant shifts in the American education landscape, ultimately improving student outcomes.

Learning — to some it is the sound of chalk on blackboards,
the search through stacks of scribbled notes, and backpacks
full of heavy textbooks. For others with a less traditional
lens, learning is the summoning of professors with a click
of a mouse, assignments no longer living on paper, but in a
cloud, and the ‘classroom’ being everywhere. Education has
changed considerably in recent years and we don’t expect it
to slow down anytime soon.
Because of the advancement of technology, institutions
are able to reach more students than ever with the help of
quality and accessible online courses. ‘eLearning’, ‘distance
education’, ‘blended learning’, ‘online campuses,’ and other
related programs have grown more prominent in higher
education institutions. According to NCES data, there were
5.5 million students enrolled in distance education courses at
degree-granting postsecondary institutions in fall of 2013.
Technology can offer many opportunities and benefits to students in helping them to develop and communicate their employability skills. However many educational providers miss vital opportunities to equip students with the skills needed in the modern workplace.
This presentation summarises the findings from the recently launched 'technology for employability' report, focusing on an emerging vision for how universities and colleges can best prepare students for life and employment in a digital world.
Our company is in process of changing the world of education. With our analysis tools and the combination of human and machine, we can actually learn study pattern of each and every single students on this planet. This is one of its kind and it can actually analyze and at the same time compare students with others in order to create competition and quality learning.
[Webinar Slides] 5 Learning Trends Every CLO Should be WatchingDavid Blake
The world is changing and your needs have evolved. The ever-changing learning landscape is being impacted more than ever by outside influences, and today’s employees want to learn at their own pace using their own resources.
You will learn:
- How these trends affect your employees' learning habits
- Why informal learning is just as important as formal learning
- What tools you need to make learning a competitive advantage for your organization
Global trends in Online, Open and Flexible educationicdeslides
This presentation was held at the International Conference on Open and Distance learning for Sustainable Development in Agriculture - ODLSDA 2016 in Coimbatore, India. The conference was hosted by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. The presentation focuses on global trends but with a specific perspective of India and its potential and challenges in the development of digital transformation of education.
Continuous learning has become imperative; many skills now have a half-life of just 2½ to 5 years. But employees are overwhelmed, distracted and impatient. Corporate learning (L&D) needs to adapt to the needs of modern learners.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education in today's world, the ability to navigate complex change is crucial for leaders and organizations. Leading such change requires building the buy-in of stakeholders, address roadblocks hindering progress, and fostering a culture of experimentation that embraces calculated risks and encourages learning from failures. This workshop introduces the concept of transformative leadership, introducing a comprehensive framework specifically designed to guide leaders and organizations as they tackle complex challenges where no obvious solution exists.

Planning For And Supporting Productive Online InquiryJulie Coiro
How are online reading comprehension practices integrated into classroom instructional routines? In this session, Julie explains how curriculum-based information challenges and performance-based online reading comprehension measures can be used to capture the skills and practices of more and less skilled online readers. Then, she reviews practical examples of how to support elementary and secondary students as developing online readers using a model of Internet Reciprocal Teaching. She also shares research-based ideas for how to move readers through three phases of online inquiry while fostering higher-level thinking, critical evaluation, productive dialogue, and skillful argumentation practices across all grade levels.

The Inquiry Hub - BCSSA 2015 Presentation Dave Truss
The SD43 Inquiry Hub (iHub) is a program of choice for grades 9 to 12 students. It provides an innovative, technology-driven, full-time program which allows students to pursue their own learning questions by shaping the educational experience around their interests instead of structured classes. Despite having a full-time face-to-face school day, the iHub leverages online learning materials creating a blended learning environment where deep learning is achieved through mentorship relationships and independent directed studies (IDS) while gaps in curricular outcomes are addressed through flexible online materials.

What are PODS? They are Personally Owned Devices, and they are already infiltrating our schools. For now they get tucked away in lockers and backpacks, but as the saying goes, “If there is an elephant in the room, introduce it!” Students are bringing small machines with huge potential into our schools. It is time to introduce these tools into our classrooms and also to make sure that we have the knowledge and the infrastructure to use them to their fullest potential.

Abstract
This paper presents a description of the development of the Student Leadership Program at Como Lake Middle School over the past seven years. It investigates what makes student leadership effective in a Middle School, and considers literature pertaining to guiding principles and practices of effective programs. This paper also considers the effectiveness of using metaphors and reflective journals in teaching student leaders. Finally, considering the research synthesis, and upon reflection of the successes and challenges of the Leadership Program at Como Lake Middle, recommendations for improving the program are made.

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. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.
