LMS (D2L) and Social Media (SM): friends or foes? Surveys open August 24, 1PM...Plamen Miltenoff
How much of the class interaction belongs to Twitter and Facebook and how much to LMS (e.g. D2L)? Where do students’ and instructors’ preferences lie when choosing between LMS and social media and how to be reconciled? What are the advantages of using social media as communication channel to the advantages of using LMS?
One year ago I posted, "10 Social Media Best Practices in Higher Education" which has proven to be one of my most popular posts. This is not surprising, as many of my campus speaking engagements include covering such topics.
This top 10 list includes:
Implement a Social Media Strategy
Produce Quality & Accurate Content
Manage Platforms with Social Media Managers and Student Leaders
Use an Authentic and Transparent Voice
Represent the University/Division/Department Brand and University Resources
Collaborate and Support other University Social Media Pages
Respect Your Community
Dive into Data
Empower Influencers and Engage Audience
Get Internal Buy-In
Social media exists in the gray, so even these best practices could be scrutinized. Whatever your perspective, higher education needs more tools to aid in strategy development, especially since social media platforms change constantly.
NeuroDevNet NCE in collaboration with York University's KMb Unit reviewed and assessed existing guides for researchers to use social media for dissemination of research finding and engaging with their stakeholders (end users). The guides are ranked from beginner to advanced, and are presented in an annotated bibliography format which also indicates platforms/tools reviewed in each guide.

This workshop will inform participants about the mechanics as well as the advantages and disadvantages of professional learning networks (PLN), both as a scholar and in the classroom. A professional learning network (also known as a personalized learning network) includes technology-based tools and processes used by a social worker to stay up-to-date and share information about current news, practice knowledge and the latest research findings. Participants will learn how to establish and grow their own PLN, integrate PLNs into a classroom or curriculum, and appreciate how the theory of Connectivism (Siemens, 2005) informs the practice of PLNs.

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.

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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

9. Assessment
You will be assessed on both quantity and quality of your online
participation/contributions. By quantity, you are expected to make broadcasts to
twitter each week. For quality, you should try to engage in critical thinking and
analysis. To initiate a discussion, your broadcast should show analyses, insights,
observations and reflections. To respond to your peers' postings, your reply
should advance the discussion by making references to other sources, readings or
other broadcasts. Tactics for you to achieve this include asking for clarifications,
posing questions, and offering different perspectives. As a general rule, you
should keep your postings brief, encourage others to comment and respond; and
respect others perspectives.
The reflective microblog must include:
- Discussion and evaluation of your personal contribution: you are required to
submit three of your best twitter broadcasts (screen shots or other forms of
evidence) and a paragraph on each explaining why you think these are your best
contributions (supported by theories/principles read/discussed in this unit)
- Reflection on the process: reflect on the experience of having a Personal
Learning Network and discuss the knowledge, skills and expertise you have
developed through this process.

14. Ensuring safe and efficient
learning environment
• Concerns about social networking in educational
settings
• The ‘systemic’ view of social networking in
educational settings
• Ethical dilemmas
15. Concerns of teachers
• Many teachers shy away from using Social Media
in their classrooms because of safety or
classroom management concerns.
• However, if its use is not accompanied by a
structured task, students can lose focus and
become inefficient learners.
16. Main areas of teacher concern:
• Sharing of personal details and photographs;
• Copyright infringement;
• Defamation; and
• Bullying, harassment and offensive material.
AACE research, 2011
17. CEO defines social networking
Schools differentiate between online community
sites and personal social networking sites:
• Online community sites such as nings, wikis and
some educational blogs are used primarily for
collaboration and shared knowledge construction.
• Personal social networking sites are centered on
an individual rather than a group and include
Facebook, MySpace and other related sites. Such
sites are used primarily for sharing personal
information such as photos and updates.
18. CEO Staff are required to educate
students using social media of any kind to:
• Respect themselves and others when publishing
or communicating online;
• Keep communication channels transparent and
supervised by adults;
• Create a sensible/ plain username or identity;
• Set social network sites to the “private” security
setting;
• Keep personal information private;
• Not share usernames and passwords with
anyone;
• Report any attacks or inappropriate content
directed at them.

19. From the DEC,
NSW Australia
“Conversations in social media are a dialogue, an
opportunity to listen, share, collaborate and
respond to our colleagues and communities. We
recognise the importance of participating in these
conversations. Because the social media space is
relatively new, and comments may be public and
potentially permanent, we’ve developed these
guidelines to support staff as they engage in any
conversations or interactions using digital media
for official, professional and personal use.”
https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/policies/technology/communication/socmed_guide.pdf
20. Australian Council for
Computers in Education(ACCE)
• ACCE firmly supports the potential educational
affordances of online communication, including
social media.
• Teachers at all levels are demonstrating
innovative and educationally rewarding uses.
21. Lessons to be learnt
from the studies:
• The adoption of an approach based on
appropriately managing risks, not inhibiting use
• Educating students about the dangers
• Unilateral policies regarding removal, or blocking,
social networking sites, do not recognise the
potentially valuable outcomes they may afford.
