Recognising the importance of the extra-European international dimension, especially in higher education, Erasmus+ now also offers opportunities for individuals to study work or teach in other parts of the world. It also makes the same opportunities available for students from these areas to come to study in Charter-holding higher education institutions in Europe. The ICM workshop will give you an overview and possibilities available under Erasmus+.

The TNE landscape is a complex one, with multiple stakeholders, each having different perceptions, expectations and motivations. Differing starting points and expectations have spawned a vibrant and diverse range of engagement models. Some have been more successful than others, but all have contributed to the rich fabric of international higher education and in most cases benefitted their stakeholders either directly or indirectly. For institutions looking to enter into or reassess their existing TNE arrangements, understanding stakeholder attitudes and how their context is reshaping perspectives is critical to ensuring a program’s viability. It is now more important than ever to ensure that TNE programs are aligned, not just to the strategic goals of the foreign degree provider, but also the needs of the stakeholders in the hosting country. This presentation explores stakeholder attitudes to TNE utilising the most recent research and market based insights.

Does the traditional licence for content still work for universities, their patrons and the publisher?
Nikki Green, Business Development Manager in Eduserv's Licence Negotiation team, discusses how we seek to resolve the tension between the activities of users and publishers rights.
In December 2014 the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) published, ‘Sustainable development in higher education - HEFCE’s role to date and a framework for its future actions’, outlining some of the ways higher education can contribute to sustainable development. The document included a framework for HEFCE’s support for the sector, whilst encompassing their earlier policy statements on sustainable development and carbon reduction. This will also have a bearing on future funding.
Key points from the document:
Protecting and enhancing quality of life for current and future generations is central to sustainable development. There are social, environmental and economic dimensions to this, and the benefits and the challenges are considerable.
Higher education is working to address these challenges from a unique position in society. Its institutions can play a substantial role through teaching and research, through influence on staff and students, through business operations, and through the sustainability of their campuses. We want sustainable development to be central to higher education.
In 2010, HEFCE, Universities UK and GuildHE demonstrated co-leadership by publishing carbon reduction targets for higher education in England. These targets were based on extensive research and wide consultation. The overall sector target is reduction of Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 34 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050, against a 1990 baseline.
The higher education sector has demonstrated strong commitment to these targets, with each higher education institution producing a carbon management plans which move the sector substantially towards the afore mentioned targets. Research published by HEFCE in 2010 showed that for the 45 universities with data for both years, emissions per full-time equivalent student were on average 39 per cent lower in 2005 than in 1990.
Institutions have risen to the challenge of reducing environmental impacts by setting themselves stretching targets for carbon reduction. They have made significant investments and altered their ways of working, monitoring their progress with increasingly sophisticated systems whilst disseminating good practice and helping institutions learn from each other.
Although these achievements are creditable, more needs to be done if the sector’s contribution to internationally agreed target carbon reductions is to be achieved.
Sustainable Education provided the platform for discussion and dissemination of good practice whilst also highlighting the tools and systems in place to ensure your institution adheres to carbon reduction targets and becomes economically and environmentally sustainable.

Apprenticeship in England - United KingdomEduSkills OECD
England has launched a series of reforms that champion the institution of apprenticeship, and address some previous weaknesses. The reforms encourage more substantive apprenticeship programmes and a stronger funding framework. Despite these strengths, there is still some way to go to establish an apprenticeship system in England to match those of the strongest countries.
This report suggests several ways in which reforms might be adapted to achieve higher quality and better outcomes. An effective apprenticeship system involves various elements such as the development of the apprentice in the workplace by the employer and the broader education of young apprentices. The report argues that England should consider introducing regulations and standards to ensure that these elements are part of all apprenticeship programmes, and that the recently introduced apprenticeship levy supports high-quality training. In comparison to other countries, England has relatively few young apprentices. The report suggests England could facilitate transition from school to work by making better use of apprenticeships targeting school leavers.

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 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.

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.

1. Contracting outservices (United Kingdom)
• employment contract in the UK is an “open-ended” contract which can be terminated on notice
• The most common employment relationship is that of full time permanent employment.
• Fixed-term/Open-ended Contracts
- contracted to work for a fixed period only or to perform a particular task
Trial Period
Employment contracts often provide that the employee will undergo a trial
Notice Period
contract should state the notice period that either party must give to the other party to terminate the
employment
2. Privatization ( United Kingdom)
• the world face mounting demands on scarce public
resources.
• In developed countries there is a continuing demand for
higher standards in the provision of service
• the resources available to meet them is leading Governments
to look at how infrastructure can be developed, services
provided, and enterprise modernised in partnership with the
private sector.
3. Commercialisation ( United KIngdom)
Example: Education
• tuition fees alongside more credit based frameworks for university programmes and
modules have created a highly quantified and structured approach to higher education.
• There is indeed growing marketisation of education within an international perspective
asstudents or customers could be potentially attracted from around the global.
• Higher education is indeed increasingly viewed as a product with a global
marketplace.
4. Charging ( United Kingdom)
• Trade has long been pivotal to the United Kingdom’s economy.
• The volume of both the exports and the imports of the United Kingdom has
grown steadily in recent years.
• The most remarkable economic development in the United Kingdom has
been the growth of service industries.
• An increasing share of the United Kingdom’s trade is with other developed
countries. Joining the European Economic Community caused a major
reorientation of trade flows.
