Organisational Developers (OD) within HE have responsibility for supporting organisational-level development within their institutions. Senior members are involved with strategic-level decision making on organisational initiatives such as restructuring the institution, managing change, or introducing new policies and therefore can have direct impact upon enabling or disabling opportunities for enhancing teaching and learning, including with digital technologies.
Anecdotal evidence suggested that many OD practitioners are not comfortable with digital literacies, leading to opportunities for the effective use of digital technologies to be missed or under-promoted, with a consequent detrimental impact on opportunities to facilitate new cultures of learning. Working with the Organisational Development in Higher Education Group (ODHEG) over the past two years, the anecdotal evidence has proved all too true. This presentation gives an insight into working with a group in which a significant number are unconvinced by the benefits that technology can bring to their working lives, or the wider learning culture. The author, supported by JISC funding, has sought to help the group gain confidence with digital literacies through a series of mostly face-to-face engagements, starting to incorporate some online materials.
This presentation gives an insight into the processes of slowly and steadily encouraging the group to take a more positive view of digital literacies, which may help others working with resistant learners. The tide started to turn as the group grew to understand the impact that digital technologies could have upon their work role, with mobile devices and apps that supported logistics, connections via Linked In, and over half the group voluntarily attending a session on Twitter. We have now reached the stage where the group is being encouraged to embrace the idea of sharing their expertise through digital technologies, and anticipate that the group will, in the longer term, be able to contribute much more effectively to organisational take-up of digital literacy initiatives.http://digital-fingerprint.co.uk/2013/06/altc13-abstract-accepted-slow-steady-wins-the-race-developing-digital-literacies/

The Zapatero Project. Chronicle of an Assault on Society [English]Ignacio Arsuaga
Since 2004, the year in which he took office at the Presidential Palace, Rodriguez Zapatero has driven through an avalanche of laws, regulations and policies with a view to demolishing the basic institutions that make up our society and imposing his cultural project on the public as a whole. He has also sought to export his project to Latin America and other parts of the world.
However, Rodriguez Zapatero is not exactly an anomaly in the twenty-first century. Quite the contrary, in fact. He shares a common project with thinkers and politicians who are working in other countries to introduce an archetype of society similar to that proposed by Zapatero. They are the secularists, relativists, radical feminists, abortionists, representatives of the homosexual lobby and totalitarians of all stripes and colors. They have gained considerable ground in recent decades.

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.

2. Disclaimer The following are all personal professional reflections and experiences. There may be some mild bias!
3. Social Presence 1995 BBSes (Arafel, PlanetSkaro) 2004 Live Journal, My Space 2005 Wikipedia contributor 2006 YouTube, Last.fm 2007 Facebook, Delicious, Linked in 2008 Twitter, WordPress, SlideShare, Kongragate 2009 WetPaint Wiki, Blip.fm 2010 Qik video, FriendFeed, HootSuite, PodBean Note: User & creator of content; not just end-user
4. Overview What I’ve used Personal, corporate & team experiences The lessons learned The next (practical) steps
15. What we’ve Learned “I think we do reporting/reflecting on events quite well & sometimes provoke a response.” Selina Lock “…one strength is the building of networks within the institutions, and how it can bring people to work together that may not have done otherwise - in particular when they find out they have common interests.” Sarah Whittaker “I think our strength is definitely individuals promoting the library through social networking as 'personalities', rather than necessarily as one unified institutional identity…The major barrier is the way social networking is viewed by sceptics in the institution.” Katie Fraser
16. UoL Library Blog Initial efforts faltered some years previously 2008 complete restart New team of enthusiasts House rules for contributions Style & purpose Reflective, informal but professional tone Target audience of library and institution Started quietly to gain voice & proof of concept Went “public” after a month All staff invited to contribute
17. UoL Library Blog External cloud based platform (WordPress) High customisability & low technical requirements Avoids UoL branding issues by external hosting Knowledge based information resource Referenced in official memos Included in staff induction pack references Team keeps a watching brief on items of interest Prompts each other for articles Encourages involvement of new staff members Project blogs My Leicester DA, ScienceLeicester
18.
19. Blogging Lessons Start small and walk before you run Keep some rainy day posts in your back pocket Draft some mutually agreed house rules Always reply to comments but purge spam Reflect, share, celebrate and advocate your service Share progress, success and failures equally
20. Twittering Joined e.2008 (just after start at UoL) An alternative & effective communication channel Links with local academics & students easier to forge Engaging with a self-selected group of enthusiasts Resultant involvement in projects, teaching and information sharing Linking with the wider community Enquiry resolution, crowdsourcing, feedback & cross-pollination
24. Twitter Lessons The professional with or without the personal? Think about locking your posts until you feel comfortable Use a web based client (like HootSuite) to get around installation issues Find the signal to noise level with followers you can cope with Remember it’s a conversation, always engage with @Replies
25. DWL Facebook An attempt to reach into users’ social spaces Comment engagement quite low Library page to promote services Maintained by Information Librarians Over 1,600 fans currently Rolls out and links to official news Houses some HQ images of the library Replies to the occasional comment
26.
27.
28.
29. Facebook Lessons Easier to be static and less engaged Needs promotion and interaction to succeed A bit old hat these days? A qualified success or just Web 2.0 box ticking? Do the users want us in “their” social space?
30. Wikis PM.Wiki Enquiry team manual, locally installed WetPaint Cloud computing service with live linkage Two team manuals on it now Locked as private resource Team empowerment & ownership Allows easy editing by all, although in reality… Allows rapid record of S.O.P. Allows easy access globally 24/7
31.
32. Lessons from Wikis Easy to use and easy to learn Some techno-terror is possible Make sure you back up if using a hosted site Needs top down support as well as peer buy in
33. What’s in it for Our Service? Justifying it to senior management can be tricky “It isn’t suitable for US!”, “Isn’t email good enough?” Concerns over loss of control, clarity of message Helps break down corporate façade Humanises and personifies the service Recognition for awards and achievements Celebrate and highlight best practice Marketing and monitoring
34. What’s been in it for Me? Personal & professional recognition Engagement with a broader community Emotional and professional support Crowdsourcing an answer rather than repeating errors Although stalkers and hidden followers can be an issue…
35. Final Thoughts Social networking is about cultural change, and playing a proactive part You have to experiment to find the perfect fit – one size does not fit all It is a powerful community marketing, advocacy and engagement tool Go where the community is - don’t expect them to come to where you are? A lot depends on prevailing ethos and personalities
36. Not all failure is FAILURE! (A.J.Cann) Do or do not do. There is no try (Yoda) Someone, somewhere, sometime’s going to shout at you for something. So you may as well do it anyway (Me)
