Virtual Communities for Professional Development and Growth
How do we promote the knowledge, skills and sense of urgency for 21st Century teaching and learning among all teachers in our schools? As the physical and virtual worlds converge to become the 'real world' of teaching and learning, virtual exchanges, online mentoring and other Web-based environments will play increasingly important roles in educational reform. The presenter will share "lessons learned" from her seven years of experience in designing and leading virtual communities of practice.

Social Change: Social Media's role in BusinessMichael Murray
Â
This is a presentation on using change management best practices to encourage social media adoption within organizations. It begins with a "Social Media 101" section, then explains Enterprise 2.0 as the 'other' social media. The presentation then presents change management as a vehicle for encouraging social media adoption. Finally a case study and basic social media strategies provide readers with some tangible suggestions for how to get started.
HR in the Social Era. The Power of CommunityJim Lefever
Â
By any measure, on a global, regional and local basis, the world of business is in a state of flux. We are rapidly moving away from the Industrial Age with its rigid structures, stable business models, formal processes and functionally siloed organisations into a fluid and flexible environment that fundamentally changes the way value is created, the meaning of work, and the structures for our institutions.
This has huge implications not only for how HR fulfills its purpose but indeed whether HR will survive as a function without undergoing an appropriate transformation to meet these new realities.
This white paper seeks to address these issues by combining the power of community with the changes in the workplace to create a solution that will enable the success of business in the Social Era.

In this presentation, we present a framework that defines social media using seven functional building blocks: identity, presence, relationships, conversations, groups, reputations and sharing. As different social media activities are defined by the extent to which they focus on some or all of these blocks, we explain the implications that each block can have for how firms should engage with social media. To conclude we present a number of recommendations for how firms should develop strategies for monitoring, understanding and responding to different social media activities.

Introductory note:
Although this toolkit emanates from Harvard, much of what is suggested here falls in the
âsmart betsâ category rather than the standard of certifiable truth that academic
institutions typically adhere to. The comments and framework in this document are
designed to help communities thinking about social capital and present them with
hypotheses that they can pressure test through field experimentation. For that reason, we
would appreciate any useful feedback concerning where your experience differs from our
framework and ways in which this Toolkit could be more effective. You can e-mail us
your thoughts to: [email protected]
â This toolkit is not mean to be a primer on Social Capital. For more information on what social is, see
http://www.ksg.harvard.edu/saguaro/primer.htm and for some general tools on community organizing see
the excellent Citizen's Handbook at [http://www.vcn.bc.ca/citizens-handbook/] or HUDâs document on

Introduction
For the past decade, social capital has resonated strongly with communities across
America attempting to improve residentsâ quality of life and overall well-being. Social
capital, defined as â the social networks and the norms of trustworthiness and reciprocity
that arise from them,â is a powerful predictor of many social goods, including peopleâs
health and happiness, levels of economic development, well-working schools, safe
neighborhoods, and responsive government.1
Although the Social Capital Community Benchmark Study2 has enabled us to better
quantify and measure social capital, we are still exploring the most effective ways,
settings and activities to build social capital and increase civic engage ...

Operation âBlue Starâ 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.

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
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 wasnât 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.
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.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities.

Analogy to Social Epidemics
âThe Tipping Pointâ - Malcolm Gladwell

4. Social Epidemics
Tipping Point Agents of Change for understanding
Social Epidemics:
The Law of the Few
The Stickiness Factor
The Power of Context
4
5. Law of the Few
Law of the few means that a very small number of
people are linked to everyone else in a few steps, and
the rest of us are linked to the world through those
special few.
Law of the few says that Connectors, Mavens, and
Salesmen are responsible for starting word of mouth
epidemics, which means that if you are interested in
starting a word of mouth epidemic, your resources
ought to be solely concentrated on those three groups.
5
6. Law of the Few - People
Connector â one who accumulates people. Connectors are people
with a special gift for bringing the world together. Connectors know
lots of people in many different worlds. Connectors donât have to be
found, they ïŹnd you. Connectors are social glue.
Maven â one who accumulates knowledge. They arenât passive
collectors of information, they have a need to share it with others.
They are like the âhelpersâ in the marketplace. Mavens have the
knowledge and the social skills to start word of mouth epidemics.
Mavens are data banks.
Salesmen â have the skills to persuade us when we are unconvinced
of what we are hearing, and they are critical to the tipping of word of
mouth epidemics (along with connectors and mavens).
6
8. Power of Context
Power of Context says that people are more
sensitive to their environment than they may seem.
An example of this is that when people are in a
group, responsibility for acting is diffused.
Social epidemics are sensitive to the conditions
and circumstances of the times and places in
which they occur.
8
9. Characteristics of
Communities
Communities grow out of cultures
Communities create stickiness through discussion
Rule of 150 â communities lose value for members
when they grow beyond 150 members
Communities develop âtransactive
memoryâ (distributed cognition) in which
knowledge is externalized by the individual, yet
internalized within the community (mediated via
tools/artifacts)
9
10. Social Media
When we change the way we communicate, we
change society. The tools that a society uses to
create and maintain itself are as central to human
life as a hive is to bee life.
The collapse of transaction costs makes it easier for
people to get togetherâso much easier, in fact, that
it is changing the world. The lowering of these costs
is the driving force underneath the current revolution
taking place in social networking.
10
11. Cooperation
Cooperating is harder than simply sharing, because it
involves changing your behavior to synchronize with
people who are changing their behavior to
synchronize with you. Unlike sharing, where the
group is mainly an aggregate of participants,
cooperating creates group identityâyou know who
you are cooperating with. One simple form of
cooperation, almost universal with social tools, is
conversation; when people are in one anotherâs
company, even virtually, they like to talk.
11
12. Collaboration
Collaborative production is a more involved form of cooperation,
as it increases the tension between individual and group goals.
The litmus test for collaborative production is simple: no one
person can take credit for what gets created, and the project
could not come into being without the participation of many.
Structurally, the biggest difference between information sharing
and collaborative production is that in collaborative production at
least some collective decisions have to be made. Collaborative
production can be valuable, but it is harder to get right than
sharing, because anything that has to be negotiated about, like a
Wikipedia article, takes more energy than things that can just be
accreted, like a group of Flickr photos.
12
13. Collective Action
Collective action is the hardest kind of group effort, as it requires
a group of people to commit themselves to undertaking a
particular effort together, and to do so in a way that makes the
decision of the group binding on the individual members. The
commonest collective action problem is described as the
âTragedy of the Commons,â biologist Garrett Hardinâs phrase for
situations wherein individuals have an incentive to damage the
collective good. The Tragedy of the Commons is why taxes are
never voluntaryâpeople would opt out of paying for road
maintenance if they thought their neighbors would pay for it.
Collective action involves challenges of governance or, put
another way, rules for losing.
13
14. Group Forming
The essential advantage created by new social tools has been
labeled âridiculously easy group-formingâ by the social scientist
Seb Paquet. Our recent communications networksâthe internet
and mobile phonesâare a platform for group-forming, and many
of the tools built for those networks, from mailing lists to camera-
phone, take that fact for granted and extend it in various ways.
Ridiculously easy group-forming matters because the desire to
be part of a group that shares, cooperates, or acts in concert is a
basic human instinct that has always been constrained by
transaction costs. Now that group-forming has gone from hard to
ridiculously easy, we are seeing an explosion of experiments with
new groups and new kinds of groups.
14
15. Social Network Evaluation
Promise-Tool-Bargain
Shirky points out that there is no recipe for
success with social media but deïŹnes three broad
rules⊠âa successful fusion of a plausible
promise, an effective tool and an acceptable
bargain with the users.â Three lenses to look at
social media: promise, tool, and bargain.
15
16. The Promise
Promise. The promise is the basic why for anyone to join or
contribute to a group.
Do we believe in this social network?
Is there a desire to participate?
Does the promise offer higher value than other things we
could be engaged in?
What is the actual lived promise of the group rather than
the stated or explicit promise?
Will group members believe other people will also join and
engage in this group?
16
17. The Tool
Tool. The tool determines how the media will work.
Which tool or tools will help people make and keep
their promise?
What are the best tools for the intention of the site or
media?
Will the tool help people do what they want to do?
How do I choose the appropriate tool given the
geometric growth of social media tools?
Does the tool help deliver on the promise?
17
18. The Bargain
Bargain. The bargain sets standards of behavior and norms for and by
the group.
What bargain are we entering into if we join and participate?
What is expected of us and what is the code of conduct?
How do the users co-create the bargain of the group?
What can you expect of others and what can they expect of you in
this group?
Do the users agree to the bargain and is it a lived interactive
experience in the group?
The essential aspect of the bargain is that the users have to agree to it. It
canât be instantiated as a set of contractual rules because users donât
read the ïŹne print.
