Understanding Networked Scholars: Experiences and practices in online social ...George Veletsianos
Slides from an invited talk given to the The 4th International Conference on E-learning and Distance Education located in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Online journals, online forums, and social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are an integral part of open and digital scholarship, which is often seen as a major breakthrough in radically rethinking the ways in which knowledge is created and shared. In this presentation I situate networked practices in open/digital scholarship and explain what scholars and professors do online, and, why they do the things that the do. I conclude by describing 3 themes pervasive in scholarly networks: identify networks, networks of conflict, and networks of disclosure.

The exponential growth of social media and ubiquitous use of mobile technology has changed the way we communicate both socially and for many also professionally. It is therefore timely to consider how social media can be used to develop personal learning networks and through open sharing find opportunities to also develop our scholarly practice.

This workshop is divided in 2 parts. In the first part, I will discuss how/why academics use social media and online networks for scholarship, and explore the opportunities and tensions that exist in these spaces. In the second part of the workshop, I will facilitate small group and large group conversations on this topic based on participant interests. Potential topics of exploration may include but are not limited to: social media participation strategies; self-disclosures on social media; capturing and analyzing social media data; ethics of social media research; social media use for networked learning.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

2. Topics
• Background
• Advantages/Disadvantages of Using External Tools
• Usage of External Tools at City
• Presenting External Content through VLE (Moodle)
• External Content Presented Outside the VLE
• Recommendations/Thoughts
3. Background
2008
Working at University of Hertfordshire on bespoke MLE, StudyNet.
Beginning work on integrated ‘social’ platform to supplement MLE (Glover &
Oliver, 2008; Oliver & Glover, 2008).
Subsequent Findings/Observations
Developing towards ‘Gated Community’, rather than ‘Walled Garden’ or
‘Open Space’
• e.g. Moodle 2.x Repositories
Mostly a controlled space
• drawing in some external data and allowing some re-publication.
Most data still held on institutional systems.
4. Advantages of Using External Tools
• Many good, free tools
Cut down on IT costs (possibly)
• Do one thing, and well
• People may already be using it
• Wider promotion of work/ideas
Increase visibility/’findability’ (Peter Morville, findability.org)
5. Disadvantages of using External Tools/Content
• No/little control
Resource could change over time,
System down at critical time
• Future changes to licensing/availability
Ning – free service revoked
Google Wave/Lively – completely shutdown
(The Top Ten Dead Google Projects Floating About In Cyberspace)
• Security/Privacy/Copyright/IP issues
• Additional training required?
• Duty of Care issues?
6. Principal External Tool Usage at City University London
Common Some use Growing Integrated into
Moodle modules

Surfacing through Other Means
Try it:
19. Recommendations/Thoughts
• Aggregate content when possible
Pull content in, don’t push people out
• Investigate any legal/moral/ethical issues first
• Check long-term viability of platforms
• Consider how it will ‘integrate’ with VLE
Functions exist already?
• Avoid chasing students into their social spaces
Pick the tools based on your needs instead
20. Questions?
A couple from me:
“What are the key points in the learning experience where
external tools can add value, and what thoughts do you
have of using such tools?”
“Can we use these tools to challenge our own (and others’)
preconceptions and inertia about the types of activities used
with students?”
