Open Education Resources: Enthusiasms and HesitationsKirsten McDade
Kirsten McDade, a biology instructor at Whatcom Community College, is enthusiastic about using open educational resources (OER) in her courses because it will enrich course content, save students money, support her goal of implementing a flipped classroom model, and provide current information to connect students globally. However, she has some apprehensions that using OER may frustrate students if they lack regular computer or internet access, information may not be retained as well as in books, online links could disappear, and OER will require a significant time investment to implement.
The document provides statistics and updates on library instruction at Eli M. Oboler Library at Idaho State University.

Integration of the graduate profiles and academic literacy capabilities into ...Neda Zdravkovic
The International Consortium of Academic Language and Learning Developers (ICALLD) Online Symposium 2018:
Academic Literacies in a Globalised World: Diversity, Digitalisation, Dependency
Achieving constructive alignment in curriculum and assessment design is one of the key challenges for faculty teaching staff and course coordinators. A primary driver for this alignment is the attainment of specific capabilities defined through graduate profiles, employability-driven needs, disciplinary knowledge and practice. This presentation will engage participants in the process of transforming academic curricula to accommodate students’ learning needs and develop transferable capabilities as defined in the newly released Graduate Profile. Based on the undergraduate year 1 case-study at the University of Auckland, we will focus on the application of learning analytics to identify gaps, curriculum analysis and re-design process, pedagogy, theoretical frameworks and evidence of impact. This session will open the discussion on practical as well as challenging experiences in integrating academic literacy capabilities into curriculum and its outcomes.

Z. Smith Reynolds Library - The Sutton Years 2004-2015Susan Smith
A retrospective look at the people, events and accomplishments of the Z. Smith Reynolds Library/Wake Forest University, under the leadership of Dean Lynn Sutton.
This document discusses developing a culture of assessment in academic libraries. It defines assessment as a process to understand user needs and evaluate how well the library supports those needs to improve services. The key aspects of a culture of assessment are that decisions are based on research and facts, and services are planned and delivered to maximize positive outcomes. The document recommends libraries develop assessment skills among staff, ensure assessment aligns with institutional goals, and use assessment data in decision-making to improve practices and participate in campus-wide evaluation. It provides examples of factors that can facilitate or hinder developing such a culture, and suggests libraries implement both broad assessments and local team-based assessments as part of moving forward to create a culture of assessment.
Lessons Learned: Through a Librarian's LensSusan Smith
Through her career as a librarian, Susan Sharpless Smith has learned many valuable life lessons. She learned from her mother the importance of cleanliness, education, and acting appropriately as a young woman. As a library director, she recognized the value in team building, getting outside one's comfort zone, and focusing on relationships rather than individual accomplishments. She also learned to take risks by creating new library spaces and programs that benefited both students and faculty.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
