The Ultimate Guide to Real Estate CrowdfundingSteven Lo

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.

implications for Thailand

Sal Forest Co. Ltd.

2. Who is Sal Forest?
2
“Sustainable Business Accelerator”
Sal Forest is Thailand’s first company that aims to jumpstart and sustain a
public discourse on sustainable business in Thailand via events, workshops
and training courses, print and online media, as well as conducting
research on sustainability issues and promoting social impact assessment.
3. What is crowdfunding?
3
• Use of online communities to raise money from individuals to
fund a project, initiative, or business.
• Investors/doors are typically ordinary people with little or no
financial background. They invest because they want to support
causes they believe in, more than seeking highest returns on
money.
• Can be donations, lending, or investment in equities, but only
donations face no regulations (more on that later).
• Proving to be a reliable and scalable solution – not just very
early seed financing.
7. Crowdfunding models
7
• Return on investment in the form of
• Money
• Perks
• Produced goods (e.g. DVDs)
• Investors can be
• Accredited investors (SEC definition)
• Anyone in the crowd (typically small amount)
• Biggest hurdle: regulations
• Typically, “soliciting” for “investment” (i.e. yield positive returns
to investors) requires filing and must be registered broker-dealer
11. The Mosaic model, in a bit more detail
11
• The projects are first set up as a solar PPA, lease, or loan, and contracted
with a host. Then Solar Mosaic gets the word out about funding the
project.
• Once it’s fully funded by individual investors, Solar Mosaic pays a
guaranteed rate of return over specified period (e.g. 4.5 percent interest
for 111 months) as Solar Mosaic collects payments from the project.
• “Packaged deal” i.e. no extra monetary benefits; any tax credits are
rolled into the investor’s yield. Similarly, there’s no direct operations and
maintenance charges, such as sharing the costs of replacing the inverter.
• Solar Mosaic gets: 1 percent fee from investors, and loan origination fee
from the borrower.
13. 13
Crowdfunding is “disintermediating” traditional VCs
• Traditional venture capital (VC) offers four “values”
Networks (“Rolodex”)
Expertise
Purse strings (control of startup funding)
“Sophistication” of valuation
• All of these are being disintermediated by the crowd…
14. 14
Rolodex disintermediated
• Social networks are
bigger than Rolodex,
and are “flattening”
networks and bringing
people closer (fewer
degrees of separation)
• Can use rating
algorithms
• Also, each person in
the social network has
his/her own Rolodex
15. 15
Expertise disintermediated
• Is VC really “expert”? Perhaps the most debatable point
• Performance is the only metric that matters. Increasing
number of studies has shown that there is little
correlation between experts’ self-assessment and actual
performance
• Diversity raises collective IQ, while adding like-minded
people create scarce new value
• With the right algorithm, could be hard for experts to
outperform crowds
16. 16
Funding disintermediated
• $2.8 bn raised on crowdfunding – number speaks for itself
• Where VCs & angel investors left off, the crowd take over
• GrowVC: seed funding for startups
• WebEquity: exchange sweat equity for revenue sharing
• Innovatrs: investor briefs sent by open call
• YouBeTheVC: crowd votes on 3 startups for VC to fund
• InvestingZone: UK’s first VC-based equity platform for
buying shares in unlisted company
17. 17
Valuation disintermediated
• Price discovery by “invisible hand” of the market
works with crowdfunding too
• Crowd mechanics and be applied to private
valuations. Some notable pioneers:
• SharesPost: exchange of private company shares
• SecondMarket: marketplace for illiquid assets
18. Big boost to US market: 2012 “Crowdfunding Act”
18
• Caps amount issuer can raise at $1 million in any 12-month
period - this is approximate cost of a 200 kW solar project,
so should lead to boost in community-based solar arrays
• Caps the amount a person can invest in all crowdfunding
transactions over a 12-month period at 10% of annual
income or net worth (incomes of $100,000 or more) or the
greater of $2,000 or 5% of annual income or net worth
(incomes of less than $100,000)
• Shares issued in crowdfunding transaction subject to one-
year restricted period
19. 2012 “Crowdfunding Act” (cont.)
19
• Crowdfunding must be done through a registered “funding
portal” (registered with SEC)
• Broker-dealers and funding portals may not solicit
investments, offer investment advice, or compensate
employees based on sales
• Traditional investment banks have not yet registered for
crowdfunding, leading to speculation that crowdfunding will
be facilitated by lesser-known financial institutions with little
or no retail investment track record
20. 2012 “Crowdfunding Act” (cont.)
20
• Requires a disclosure document to be filed with the SEC at
least 21 days prior to first sale, and requires audited financial
statements for raises of over $500,000.
• Does not allow advertising, except solely to direct investors
to the appropriate broker/funding portal.
• Annual reports and possibly more frequent (depending on
SEC rulemaking) must be filed with the SEC by a company
which completes a crowdfunding round.
• Extensive due diligence is required, including background
checks on management and large stockholders.
21. 21
• “Deposit-taking” and “lending” (pays interest) are regulated by
the Bank of Thailand: must be registered financial institutions
• “Soliciting” and “issuing securities” (pays interest) are
regulated by Thailand’s SEC: must be registered securities firm
to solicit, and public company to issue
• Thailand still has no online data protection law. Most recent
draft in 2010 drew sharp criticisms (e.g. does not allow
citizens to sue government for breach, “data privacy
committee” is dominated by government officials, raising fears
it will “control” more than “protect” personal data)
