This document discusses strategies for community libraries to help address barriers to broadband adoption, such as digital literacy and cost. It suggests that libraries can play a role in tackling these barriers by creating community computing centers that provide computer and internet training, employment assistance, and intergenerational learning opportunities. The document also mentions several broadband infrastructure projects in Vermont and notes that community libraries will receive 1Gbps internet connections through the Vermont Libraries WAN project to help build community capacity.

Development as Freedom in a Digital Age Soren Gigler
This presentation summarized the main findings of the recent publication Development as Freedom in a Digital Age. It provides an overview( i) the alternative impact evaluation framework of information and communications technologies on development based on Amartya Sen's capability approach and (ii) presents empirical evidence from rural Bolivia on the conditions under which ICTs can reduce poverty and empower local communities. The book addresses the following main issues (i) what is the impact of ICTs on the well-being of poor communities? (ii) how to evaluate the impact of ICTs on development from a human development perspective? (iii) which factors influence the successful implementation of ICT programs?

Change IT!
S. Revi Sterling, University of Colorado Boulder
Voices 2015 - www.globaltechwomen.com
Session Length: 1 Hour
Dr. Revi Sterling founded and directs the only Information and Communication Technology for Development graduate program in the United States. This talk would demonstrate how IT (ICT as the rest of the world calls it) has given a quantum boost to international development efforts, and will give examples of what works and what doesn’t when technologists turn humanitarians. This talk will open avenues for technologists of all types and levels to truly make impact with their ideas, while promoting collaboration rather than competition. Sterling will point audiences to helpful resources while catalyzing their creativity.
Lee Rainie explores the role of social networks – the technological kind as well as the real-world kind – in shaping the way people gather community information and make sense of it.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
