Social media tools are widely used by colleges but use varies. A survey found that YouTube was the most popular and 70% of respondents felt tools enhanced learning. However, some had privacy and distraction concerns. Blogs, microblogs, multimedia sharing, and digital curation were discussed as tools with benefits for learning when used appropriately. Risks like privacy issues must be considered.
This presentation was delivered at City of Glasgow College during their CPD week in June 2014. The presentation gives an overview of blogs, media sharing tools, digital curation tools, and social networking tools, giving exemplars of how these tools have been used in an educational context.
Introduction to Social Media in EducationJason Rhode
Do you use Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube? Have you ever considered leveraging social media tools like these in your teaching? During this introductory online session led by Jason Rhode on 9/28/2012, we explored what social media are and the pedagogical potential for use of social media in educational settings.

These are my slides from a pre-conference workshop I co-ran with John Sandars from the University of Sheffield at AMEE 2014 in Milan, Italy. The workshop title was 'How to create personalised learning opportunities in the information age: Essential skills for the 21st century teacher'. John gave an overview of personalised learning to kick things off and looked at some relevant learning theories.
I went on to give an overview of how I've used technology to support and personalise my learning. Following some group work I went on to look at some current trends around personalised learning and consider some of the implications.
The key to supporting students to create personalised learning is for both the teacher and the learner to understand how technology can support this and John covered this in the final section of the workshop.

This workshop was geared toward an audience who is new to online teaching and to those wanting to refresh their knowledge about online teaching fundamentals.
Engaging students in the curriuclum: Students as producers of learningNatalie Lafferty
This presentation is from a workshop run at the University of Dundee eLearning Symposium on 31 May 2013, co led with my colleague Annalisa Manca and three of our students, Elizabeth Ferris, Scott Kendall and Satoko Orihashi. The abstract for our session read:
With the growing use of technology in learning and 24/7 access to information, there is growing interest in ensuring students develop 21st-century learning skills such as enquiry, participation, creativity and digital literacy. One way of nurturing these skills in students is to involve them in developing learning resources. In the School of Medicine students have identified that student-led eLearning development can evolve lifelong learning skills and encourage interprofessional and collaborative working. Furthermore, creating learning resources and peer-led teaching activities not only demonstrate students’ understanding of the curriculum, but also helps them gain a deeper understanding of the subject material, as well as pedagogical skills.

Creating accessible information using Microsoft Word: hints and tips for ever...Jisc Scotland
Most people who work in colleges regardless of their role produce Word documents. They are used to create learning and teaching material, to produce information about services, to communicate information across the organisation.
There is a legal obligation for colleges to ensure that no-one is disadvantaged because of a disability, to anticipate the needs of people who might be accessing your information and your services and to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate their needs. One simple thing that everyone can do to meet these obligations is to ensure that the material that they create using Microsoft Office is created inclusively, doing so will ensure that it is accessible to a wide range of people who use assistive technologies or who have difficulty accessing text based information.
This presentation will highlight some simple ways to make your documents accessible using Word 2010 and how well designed Word documents can be converted into accessible PDFs.
This presentation offers an overview of the built in inclusivity features of Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod devices.
It concentrates not only on inbuilt accessibility and inclusion but looks at apps to support learning and productivity.

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.
