Modelling openness: Developing the Digital Fluency course at OUTBrenda Mallinson
It is recognised that more than ‘literacy’ is needed in today’s academic environment in order to take full advantage of the affordances of using ICTs for the full range of teaching and learning, research, and administrative duties and blended modes of provision.
In order to address this issue, OUT, in collaboration with Saide’s OER Africa initiative, has conceptualised a course on ‘Digital Fluency’ to be provided as an Open Educational Resource (OER) and made available for ODeL provision.
The move from literacy to fluency encompasses effective and ethical online communication, critical interpretation, quality resource creation and curation, knowledge co-construction, and an understanding of using all of these abilities to open up education – with all of these becoming increasingly standard and effortless over time.
This document summarizes the development of an Open Educational Resources (OER) digital fluency course for academics at the Open University of Tanzania (OUT). The goals were to develop a 5 module course on digital skills, convert existing OUT courses to OER, establish an OER repository, and conduct research. The course was developed iteratively over 3 years with input from OUT and other universities. It was piloted with academics and received positive feedback. Moving forward, OUT aims to further integrate OER into its practices and policies to promote open teaching and learning.
The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) was established in 1973 as an advisory body and became a statutory body in 1995 to regulate and develop teacher education across India. Its objectives are to achieve coordinated development of teacher education through proper maintenance of norms and standards. NCTE regulates recognition of institutions, develops curriculum frameworks, and sets guidelines for qualifications and infrastructure standards. It works to prevent commercialization of teacher education and advises central and state governments on teacher education policies. NCTE oversees pre-service and in-service teacher training through institutions like DIETs and provides guidance on effective training strategies and evaluation.

It was created to help schools self-review how they use information and communication technologies (ICTs) to support learning. The framework includes 5 dimensions, multiple strands within each dimension, and descriptors for different levels of maturity. It is intended to guide schools in building ICT capability. The document outlines how the framework was developed by reviewing other models and prioritizing New Zealand needs. It also provides examples of how schools may use and consult on the draft framework.
The document outlines plans for academic professional development programs through collaboration between several SUNY organizations. It discusses the goals and target audiences, proposed competency-based certificate programs, content sources, potential attendees, and format/delivery options. A timeline is provided for the initial phase of programs to be offered starting in Fall 2011, focusing on topics like online teaching, instructional technology, and library services.

Scientific evidence reveals different effective ways to support student self-regulated learning (SRL). In order to facilitate the transfer of these effective SRL classroom practices, a practice framework entailing based on most recent evidence relating to effective SRL promotion strategies is developed. This document consists of a practice framework (including teacher competences and qualities) for teachers and teacher educators who wish to be successful in supporting their students’ SRL. By linking the practice framework to the European Qualification Framework (EQF), SLIDEshow integrates scientific and policy materials for the benefit of practice. The EQF very strongly emphasises the attribute of independence in the acquisition and execution of competences. The eight levels of competence described in the EQF, starting at a completely dependent behaviour (i.e. dependencies on instruction and supervision) to complete independence and being a driver or innovator in the domain, can be a good fit for SRL, because of the self-management capacities that are intrinsic to it.
The SRL practice is innovative in the sense that it aims to support the integration of SRL by clearly outlining what competences are crucial for supporting students’ SRL and how this connects to existing frameworks (the EQF). By framing SRL instruction within a broader context (EQF) familiar to many educational systems, we intend to support the integration of SRL instruction in a ‘connected’, structural manner. Teachers and schools face a myriad of challenges and proposed solutions/innovations, often quickly following each other and being implemented in rather isolated ways. Next, the SRL practice framework will be applicable for both teachers and teacher educators. The focus on teacher educators is considered innovative, as most programs focus on teachers mainly.
Finally, the SRL practice framework will be used as a common framework for the SLIDEshow project as a whole and will be used for evaluation purposes later on in the project. Also, the framework will inform the design of the objectives, content, and approach of the teacher educator training (IO4). Finally, the framework will be used to analyse and identify the good practices concerning the integration of SRL in classroom practice (IO5).
This document is composed as following: first, a background for this document is given, secondly, a list of SRL instructional competences is given based on an extensive literature review. The competences are explored in depth. Thirdly, the SRL practice framework is integrated in the EQF, a practical approach is used, explaining the competences at the different levels of the EQF.

Intellectual Output 3
This report aims to outline a practice for (self-) assessment of teachers’ abilities to support self-regulated learning (SRL) and to personalise instruction to the individual needs of students in their classes. It is particularly looking at the role that learning data plays as evidence for learning, progress, and achievement. Parallel to the SRL practice framework (IO2)1, this project output (IO3) will clearly describe the necessary data competences with the goal of equipping teachers with the skills and hands-on-experiences with using learner data for the support of their own personal SRL as well as their students’ SRL.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
