Traditionally, it has been suggested that reading and writing in the FL should be delayed until students have mastered these skills in their mother tongue. In this workshop, however, we will discuss whether such a strategy is still commendable today, when many children are exposed to a FL at a much earlier age, thus bringing about many challenges to us teachers.

Revising Module Specifications: A Guidance Booklet
This 3-sentence summary provides the key details about the document:
The document is a guidance booklet created by Dr. Pam Parker that provides guidance for revising module specifications at the university level, with templates and examples for both undergraduate and postgraduate modules to help clearly outline the content, learning outcomes, assessments, and other essential details for students.
The guidance covers topics like the module summary, expected learning outcomes, teaching methods, assessment types and criteria, reading lists, and other standard sections to include to inform students about what they will learn from the module and how it will be taught and assessed.
An example module specification for a postgraduate program in academic practice is also included in an appendix to demonstrate
Online student feedback-Lawlor & vanGinneken
The document summarizes survey results from the University of Regina regarding online learning. It shows that between 2004-2014 enrollment increased from 547 to 4362 students and courses increased from 22 to 112. The survey found that most students were satisfied with their online courses, though some felt instructors took too long to respond. Flexibility of location and time was the most important factor for students choosing online courses. The majority of students felt that a combination of quizzes and assignments was the best way to assess learning rather than a single final exam.
Doing better things: transforming how we use Turnitin for learning
Students have an increasing expectation for academic interactions via the same all-pervasive technologies they use socially. How to marry this need for digital engagement with the rigours and expectations of the assessment process is a challenge faced by many institutions.
Beyond being a mechanism for managing academic misconduct Turnitin, via Feedback Studio is increasingly being adopted by institutions as a tool for Electronic Management of Assessment (EMA) in order to address this challenge.
Learn how technology is engaging and empowering students in the assessment process through innovative approaches to providing constructive and timely feedback beyond a tick or a cross.

Here are the key aspects of perceiving and processing according to the 4-MAT system:
Perceiving:
- Sensing/Feeling: Taking in information directly through the senses and feelings
- Thinking: Thinking about and conceptualizing experiences in a more abstract, logical way
Processing:
- Reflecting: Reflecting on and integrating new information or experiences
- Acting: Taking action and applying new learning in practical, hands-on ways
The 4-MAT system proposes that all learners cycle through these four stages - sensing/feeling, thinking, reflecting, and acting - to fully learn and internalize new information. By addressing each of the four stages, instruction can be designed to engage all

Argentina through teen eyes: Typical sports
1st-year students at "Instituto Santa Cruz" tell the world what sports they consider typical of our cultures.
Identity hobbies
Argentinians enjoy drinking mate, a tea made from yerba mate leaves drank with friends and family. Football is hugely popular, with Argentinians playing and watching matches, and having produced famous players like Messi. On Sundays, people often gather for asados, barbecues with family and friends. Tango is a famous Argentine dance typically danced by a couple. Other popular hobbies and pastimes include playing cards games like truco, having water balloon fights in summer, going to loud discos at night, listening to various types of music, riding bicycles in parks, and fishing with family and friends.
Argentina legends
The document describes legends about the Pombero, a mythical creature from Argentine folklore. It provides conflicting descriptions of the Pombero as either short and fat with long arms, or tall and thin with lots of hair. The Pombero is said to live in forests and empty houses, protecting wild animals. It can transform into animals or plants and kidnap children or women. The Pombero is used to scare misbehaving children.
Argentinian teens: Our clothes
My 1st- year students at "Instituto Santa Cruz" tell the world what teens in our community consider typical of our culture (for the BC Connecting Classrooms Programme - Project: "Identity and Belonging - Exploring who we are" ).
Argentinian Teens: Our Diet
This document summarizes popular Argentine foods, including cuts of meat cooked in different styles, locro stew, milanesas sandwiches, empanadas pastries, pizza, pasta, and dulce de leche caramel. It describes these dishes as traditional to Argentina and how they are prepared and enjoyed.
Our carbon footprint
Valentina and Antonella share their findings on what carbon footprints are and how we affect our environment with our daily actions.
MalenaBianca_climatechange
The document discusses climate change and global warming trends. It notes that current global temperatures are the warmest in at least the past five centuries, with the 17 warmest years on record occurring in the last 20 years. It predicts that by the end of the 21st century, global temperatures will rise between 2 to 4 degrees Celsius, depending on greenhouse gas emissions. The document emphasizes that climate change is important because how we respond will impact our future, economy, environment, and communities.
InakiMalena_ClimateWeather
Climate change is caused by both natural and human factors. Naturally, climate is influenced by volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, comets, and the sun. However, the largest influence is the greenhouse effect where gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and warm the planet. While the earth has warmed overall since 1900, the warming has not been uniform and some areas have been less affected than others.
Argentina’s climate
Argentina's climate is projected to get warmer over the coming decades, with temperatures in the 2030s expected to be 0.5-1°C higher than 1960-1990 averages, rising to 1-2°C higher in the 2060s and 2-4.5°C higher in the 2090s. Precipitation patterns are also expected to change, with drier conditions projected for central and northern Argentina and wetter conditions for Patagonia. The frequency of hot days and nights will increase significantly.
L spina climch-evidence
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in weather patterns over long periods of time. It is caused by both natural factors and human activities like burning fossil fuels which release greenhouse gases. Evidence of climate change includes rising global temperatures, shrinking glaciers, earlier flowering times, more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and warming oceans. If emissions continue, the IPCC predicts increases in global temperatures between 1-3 degrees Celsius which will have both beneficial and harmful effects worldwide.
Marianela_ClCh_Evidence
Climate change is happening now as evidenced by rising global temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and melting glaciers and snow. Extreme weather events are expected to become more frequent and intense. Sea levels have risen 17 cm in the last century and are rising nearly twice as fast in the last decade. Global surface temperatures have warmed since 1880 according to temperature reconstructions. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and Arctic sea ice have declined rapidly in recent decades and glaciers are retreating worldwide. Climate change is transforming life on Earth and threatens to alter the planet's ability to support life if actions are not taken.
CamilaMartinNicolas_climchange
Recycling paper, scrap metal, and household waste reduces pollution and conserves energy and materials. It also saves money that can be spent elsewhere. Recycling materials is often cheaper than producing new materials, and natural processes like bacteria and converting rags to fabric can further aid recycling efforts. Recycling helps lessen the mountains of dirty black waste from smoke and toxic gases.
Federico_clim_ch-evidence
This document discusses climate change and its causes, effects, and potential solutions. It defines climate change as a significant change in weather patterns over long periods of time caused by both natural factors and human activities like burning fossil fuels. These activities have increased greenhouse gas emissions, trapping heat and causing global warming. Effects of climate change include rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and threats to ecosystems. Addressing climate change requires global cooperation to reduce emissions through alternatives to fossil fuels and sustainable development.
DanielaD_climch-evidence
Global temperatures have risen since 1880 due to increased greenhouse gases, with the top 10 warmest years occurring in the last 12 years. The oceans have warmed by 0.3 degrees Fahrenheit in the top 700 meters since 1969. Both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have been losing over 150 cubic km of ice per year since 2002, and glaciers around the world are retreating.

Secret garden2011
Mary Lennox is orphaned in India after a cholera epidemic kills her parents and she is sent to live with her uncle in England. Upon arriving at her uncle's large mansion, Mary explores the many gardens but discovers that one garden has been locked for 10 years. With the help of her new friend Robin, a robin, Mary finds the key and hidden door to the secret garden. Inside she finds her sickly cousin Colin, who is confined to a wheelchair and believed close to death. Mary and Colin form a friendship and she tries to help him recover in the secret garden.
Turn ofthe screw2011
A governess is hired to care for two orphaned children, Flora and Miles, living in a remote country house. She begins to see the ghosts of former servants Peter Quint and Miss Jessel, and believes they are trying to possess the children. As Miles's behavior grows increasingly disturbing, the governess writes to the children's uncle for help. However, her letter disappears, and the story ends without resolving if the ghosts were real or if the governess was losing her mind.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
