Presenter: Sara Perry, director of studies, digital heritage, University of York.
This interactive session offers an introduction to the application of a variety of simple digital media technologies in building intellectual independence, critical thinking, professional networks and confidence amongst their users. Such technologies offer not only meaningful creative opportunities, but also mechanisms by which the very nature of academic and professional fields of practice can be prodded, extended and perhaps even fundamentally reconfigured.
Alongside considering their problematic implications (including their relationship to free labour, neoliberalism and personal security), I demonstrate here how they promise both to narrow the gap between theory and practice, and simultaneously empower emerging professionals.
Please bring your laptop, smartphone or tablet, and come ready to invent, experiment, discuss your experiences and share your questions and concerns about digital media in the educational environment.

Abstract
Utilizing online learning resources (OLR) from multi channels in learning activities promise extended benefits from traditional based learning-centred to a collaborative based learning-centred that emphasises pervasive learning anywhere and anytime. While compiling big data, cloud computing, and semantic web into OLR offer a broader spectrum of pervasive knowledge acquisition to enrich users’ experience in learning. In conventional learning practices, a student is perceived as a recipient of information and knowledge. However, nowadays students are empowered to involve in learning processes that play an active role in creating, extracting, and improving OLR collaborative learning platform and knowledge sharing as well as distributing. Researchers have employed contents analysis for reviewing literatures in peer-reviewed journals and interviews with the teachers who utilize OLR. In fact, researchers propose pervasive knowledge can address the need of integrating technologies like cloud computing, big data, Web 2.0, and Semantic Web. Pervasive knowledge redefines value added, variety, volume, and velocity of OLR, which is flexible in terms of resources adoption, knowledge acquisition, and technological implementation.

Developing Digital Literacy: 5 Ps for online learningRhona Sharpe
Learner experience research has helped us to understand a great deal about the habits and strategies that effective online learners adopt and the challenges that they face. How can we use this knowledge to design online learning activities? Our online courses should support learners' ability to: prioritise, personalise, participate, present and play.

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.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

This is important, it is a holistic view(anyone who remembers the JISC learner experience studies (2004-2009) will remember how important that holistic view is. That is, DL is broader than IT, media or information literacy (terms that have been around a while), and indeed subsumes these terms. EshaAlkalai (2004) described DL as ‘a survival skill in a digital era’. It’s about the era we live in and the choices we have. For example, an important part of DL is knowing when to use a non-digital source or tool.So I’m not going to talk about lists of competencies and the such, although I have got some examples of these photocopied for you to help with this afternoon’s activity to build a professional development framework for our community of staff and educational developers.
If you are interested in the term ‘literacy’ I’d refer you to this book, and ch. 11 particularly.
This notion of the agile adopter stems from work conducted by Jane Seale and others as part of the LEXDIS project who talked about the importance of ‘digital agility’ of disabled learners. They were characterised by Being extremely familiar with technologyUsing a wide range of strategiesHaving high levels of confidence in their own ability to use technologySo, do we know any digitally agile students?
https://wiki.brookes.ac.uk/display/instepp/Google+TubesThese are a couple of epioneersfrom the JISC INstePP project based at Brookeswhich is justcomingtoan end in July. For me, this is getting even closer towhat I think of as digitallyliterate.For me digital literacy is aboutcreativeappropriation, agile adoption, digital agility…. whateveryou want to call it.

In other words, in a multiplicity of ways some of the existing ePioneers exemplify the Oxford Brookes digital and information literacy graduate attribute, being ‘confident, agile adopter(s) of a range of technologies for personal, academic and professional use’. It is this confidence and agility, rather than specific knowledge of software or devices, that is of greatest value to the project and to developing the digital literacies of others. The ePioneers suggested that as far as possible supplementary ePioneer training on how to use various digital tools should be made available online so that ePioneers can ‘do all the training in their own time and then in their e-portfolio tick off the training when it's done’ (ePioneer 1, 14 Sep 2012).
Now we are getting into territory where we know a lot less about what’s going on..I’m not drawing any distinction here between staff and students. I’m just going to start talking about ‘people’.
I showed you this model earlier, and Liz Bennet is going to say some more about it so I won’t go into any detail the important thing to note is that it is about moving on from AccessSkillsPractices identityThe bit of this I want us to think about today
We said DL was a socially and culturally situated practice …Such practices are typically personal and flexible and developed in response to situational need. Does this mean that rather than teaching people to use technology, we should be encouraging them to develop their own ways of using technology to meet a particular need they have?Well yes. This suggests that in order to move people beyond Skills (I CAN), we should be thinking more about the triggers that encourage the development of practices (I DO). I’m going to suggest 3 ways of thinking about how to support PEOPLE (including ourselves here today) to develop digital literacy:Using technology to met a particular needEncouraging informal learningContextualising your definitions/objectivesThen hopefully you can use these 3 principles when you come to developing a framework for us this afternoon, after you’ve heard from a whole heap more examples.

I suggest.Using technology to met a particular needEncouraging informal learningContextualising your definitions/objectivesThen hopefully you can use these 3 principles when you come to developing a framework for us this afternoon, after you’ve heard from a whole heap more examples.
Here’s a good example…Reference Me, developed by students in response to a need, shared informally.
Let’s think of something more relevant to supporting practitioners like… Learning Design.If we know that practices are developed in response to need so choosing your trigger is going to be important if you want practices to applied in certain contexts. So, triggers for developing staff digital literacies might be:‘using digital technology to design and develop study programmes and modules using learning design tools (as in the OU definition and staff development framework)There is a problem with digital literacy being a socially situated practice, and being so context specific, and that is that it seems that transferring capabilities developed in one context to another is more problematic than we thought. So important to develop the practice in the context you want it to be used.
If we know that digital literacy is developed through informal learning, might be important to provide ways of sharing and networking our use of technology e.g.The LAMS community created six years ago is still active and is fundamentally different from other online repositories that might superficially look similarWithin the LAMS Community the focus has been on creating a community space in which barriers to exploiting Learning Designs are removed and sharing amongst teachers is fostered. James finds that teachers value advice on versioning generic templates for their discipline and the opportunity to share designs within a closed community of close colleaguesthe sharing and reuse of Learning Designs could be facilitated by supporting teachers to combine generic designs with methods and content that meet the needs of their specific discipline communities.
I’m not drawing any distinction here between staff and students.
All agree? Are these statements enough?Probably not, in fact the 2012 European Commission report on expert’s view of digital competence, starts from the premise that educators require more clarity from such definitions.
I’m not drawing any distinction here between staff and students.
