Abstract
Public institutions involved in research that aims to strengthen the productivity,
profitability and adaptiveness of industries face a multiplicity of challenges when
managing for the emergence of cost effective solutions to problems. We reflect
upon the learnings of a Government sponsored Visiting Fellow’s programme that
we describe as a knowledge management (KM) intervention within Australia’s
primary industries Research, Development and Extension (R, D and E) system. Our
central concern is to draw upon the learnings of an internet-based initiative in the
United States called eXtension to show how ‘traditional’ D and E activities can be
transformed. We argue that organisations and networks involved in such D and E
activities need to perceive themselves as belonging to systems that are socio-
technical in nature. That is, the development and deployment of cross-jurisdictional
and cross-institutional innovations are shaped by both the social interactions
between people and the systematic use of technology to support distributed
learning. We explain how the elements of an integrated model to support public
KM can be developed to create the conditions for enhanced innovation. Our
findings have relevance to a wide range of other industry sectors considering
contemporary service models involving public and private partnerships.

Regenerative Computing: De-limiting hopeSamuel Mann
In computing there is a small but growing community who desire to make sense of the role of computing in a world with limits. This community has provided a much needed
critical perspective on what has otherwise been computing’s contribution to a worsening world state, or at best a weak sustainability. But, by framing the biophysical and social environment as limited, there is a danger of adopting a negative and overly pessimistic approach with the effect of marginalising our message and contribution to computing. Previous attempts to address the tension between a limited world and a positive approach have been foundered on concerns that a techno-utopia is not only unrealisable but efforts to achieve it are exacerbating the problem. In this paper we explore the potential for an explicitly positive approach to computing within limits research: regenerative computing. We describe what regenerative computing within limits might look like and suggest a way forward. We expect this new approach to transform the computing and sustainability discourse, and empower the computing within limits community to become ambassadors of hope and regenerative sustainability.

A transformation mindset as the basis for sustainable community developmentSamuel Mann
Presented at the International Association of Community Development and
ACDA New Zealand conference, Auckland, NZ, February 15-17 2017
This paper raises the question of the implications of Community Development in accepting sustainable development as an underlying philosophy. We develop a sustainable transformation mindset that can be used to guide community development initiatives. We then briefly explore the role of work-based professional practice education in a “Capable Value set”. In examining education based on this approach we find that the learning community based and transformative - both for the learner and the community. As an example, we then suggest how it could be applied by using as lens for sustainable iwi development.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Simple Pledge

smann, katiee@tekotago.ac.nz
Otago Polytechnic has set itself a goal of “every graduate As a member of the Otago Polytechnic community, I
may think and act as a sustainable practitioner by 2009”. pledge to become an ambassador for sustainable practice
This goal is aimed at contributing to a better community,
at producing graduates across the institution with relevant
skills and values, and about working closely with industry
to both identify and achieve sustainable practice in each
discipline (Mann and Smith 2008).
The book, A Simple Pledge: Otago Polytechnic’s Journey
Towards Sustainability was formally launched on World
Environment Day 2009. Simple Pledge has several
external goals such as building credibility in industry, but
its main value is in conveying the message of the
institution’s commitment to staff and students. As part of
the required culture change we need to continually
reinforce the message: “this the journey Otago
Polytechnic is on, that means you, and yes you can”. A
big part of it is celebrating the successes that we've had in
a way that is reachable for everyone.
The book is quite short, 32 pages and is deliberately
optimistic in tone and style. This is a celebration of a
journey. In another celebrative act, Simple Pledge was
designed by two final year Communication Design
students, Craig Scott and Simon Horner.
The book has four main elements. The right hand pages
tell the narrative in words and pictures. Facing pages
provide background on each aspect of the story. These
articles cover the range of teaching, community outreach
and operations. The images represent a range of activities
our students, graduates and staff engage in- all working
towards being sustainable practitioners. These images are
overlain with diagrams of sustainable thinking – not
obscuring the original, but hopefully giving the message
that everything can be view through a lens of Mann, S. and K. Ellwood,
