The annual report summarizes the progress and work of the SDG Academy over the past year. It discusses how the SDG Academy has provided education on sustainable development and the SDGs to nearly 500,000 learners globally over the past 6 years using digital technology. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of the SDG Academy's work in educating citizens around the world on issues of sustainable development. Going forward, the SDG Academy aims to create more high-quality content on all the SDGs, engage more educators, and leverage their platform to amplify the work of experts in the field.
(1) Digital technologies are expanding access to education by making educational resources available online and globally. This allows for new forms of collaboration and learning.
(2) Open educational resources (OER) like online courses, textbooks, and learning objects are being shared openly online. This benefits students by lowering costs and giving educators new options for building learning experiences.
(3) For higher education to stay relevant, it needs to embrace openness and sharing of educational content through practices like adopting open textbooks. This will better serve students and allow education to keep pace with changes in technology and society.
Eddie Reisch was interviewed about his work developing virtual learning initiatives in New Zealand, particularly the Virtual Learning Network (VLN). He prefers the term "blended learning" over other e-learning labels. The VLN was created to broker learning programs across schools and give all students equal access to opportunities. It grew through community collaboration and relationships between participating schools. Challenges included ensuring inclusive practices and access to technology, as well as developing policies and providing teacher professional development for the new approaches. Recently the VLN approach has expanded to primary schools, offering language learning opportunities to younger students and positive reactions from schools, students, and parents.
Flat Students - Flat Learning - Global UnderstandingJulie Lindsay
Many educators are now joining themselves, their students and schools to others across the globe. We all know that global collaboration, the sort that includes full connectivity and collaboration that leads to co-creation of artifacts and actions is not easy and takes time to plan, implement and manage. However, let’s think out of the box even further and start to promote and support independent student learning at the Middle and High School levels. Once the teacher is not the gateway (or the barrier) to global learning, then what?
The ‘flat’ student has a PLN and PLC’s to connect with at anytime. The ‘flat’ student can learn (connect, collaborate, co-create, take action) anywhere at anytime without constraints.
Join Julie as she explores this concept and practice of independent ‘flat’ student learning for global understanding and collaborative actions. Flat Connections projects will be featured as well as the new ‘Learning Collaboratives’ to start in 2015. If you want to take your global learning to a higher level, this is the session to attend!

- Virtual exchange (VE) allows students from different geographic locations to work together online on learning tasks developed by teachers. It aims to give more students an international experience as physical student mobility programs only reach a small percentage of students.
- Two initiatives discussed are the Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange program and the EVOLVE project. Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange expands Erasmus+ opportunities through virtual exchanges. EVOLVE aims to mainstream virtual exchange across disciplines in European higher education.
- Benefits of VE include giving students experiential and collaborative learning, developing transversal skills like intercultural competence, and offering opportunities for professional development for teachers.
The European experience with MOOCs has been growing while interest in the US has declined slightly. While the US initially led the MOOC movement, Europe has increasingly developed its own MOOC platforms and initiatives through organizations like EADTU and OpenupEd. Surveys of MOOC adoption show increasing involvement by European institutions, in contrast to decreasing adoption rates in some US surveys. However, the surveys have biases depending on the types of institutions sampled. Overall, European institutions see MOOCs as a way to increase visibility and provide flexible learning opportunities, while US institutions focus more on student recruitment. Diversity is seen as a strength of the decentralized European approach to MOOCs.

1. The speaker discusses the Commonwealth of Learning, an organization founded to promote open and distance learning across Commonwealth countries in order to increase access to education.
2. He argues that while technology can enhance education, it does not replace human teachers. Educational goals should focus on developing individuals and creating a more compassionate society, not just economic outcomes.
3. The speaker advocates for open learning approaches and technology to increase educational access and opportunities across the Commonwealth, especially for those in developing countries, but cautions that approaches must be tailored to different contexts and build partnerships rather than take a paternalistic approach.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Hugh Davis on how the web has changed teaching and learning. Some key points made include:
- The web has evolved from a read-only platform to a read-write platform with user-generated content and social aspects.
- Teaching has moved from traditional lectures to incorporating more online content and active learning approaches. Learning has become more self-directed with personal learning networks and environments.
- MOOCs are discussed as a current development that could impact higher education through increasing access but also generating data to improve adaptive learning. However, their effect on traditional universities is debated.
- Overall, the web and digital technologies are argued to be changing what and how students learn to prepare

Internationalisation at Home (IaH) was coined in 1999 to focus on internationalisation beyond mobility. Initially taken up more in countries with less widely spoken languages, the concept aimed to provide international experiences for all students, not just the mobile minority. Since then, IaH has evolved with developments in higher education and technology. While bottom-up implementation preceded top-down policy development, most European universities now include IaH in policies and undertake related activities. IaH is increasingly connected to internationalisation of the curriculum, gaining prominence beyond Europe as stakeholders assume shared ownership of internationalisation.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.
This document discusses the rise of MOOCs and their potential impact and future developments. It notes that 2012 was the "year of the MOOC" with the launch of many platforms and hundreds of thousands of students enrolling in MOOC courses. It outlines key aspects of MOOCs including their pedagogical foundations in active learning, various learning environments, issues around certification and accreditation, their use as research labs, and how they are questioning universities' missions.

This document is a presentation by Professor Mark Brown from the National Institute for Digital Learning at Dublin City University. It discusses the opportunities and threats of the MOOC movement from a European perspective. It first examines how MOOCs have been portrayed in the media from 2011-2015, noting they were initially seen positively but coverage declined after 2013. It then analyzes different lenses and competing images through which MOOCs have been viewed, such as open learning versus commodification of education. Finally, it discusses the need to focus on preferred future scenarios for education and the role of MOOCs, noting they should serve big ideas for education rather than being a big idea themselves.
Universities have historically been centers of knowledge creation and dissemination through research and teaching. However, the information revolution presents new challenges for universities. Universities must decide whether to continue traditional approaches or adapt to changes like virtual and borderless education. While new approaches may increase access, they also risk losing cultural diversity and treating knowledge as a commodity. As universities navigate these changes, their role should be to provide ethical and thoughtful solutions to ensure equal access to knowledge for all.
The MOOC market will likely gain a market value of US$ 7.55 Bn in 2022. The Market for MOOC is expected to register a CAGR of 35% by accumulating a market value of US$ 152 Bn in the forecast period 2022-2032.
The document discusses what it means to live, learn, and teach in the 21st century. It states that as "digital immigrants" people must work with "digital natives" and review past technologies to create an equitable society. It also says learning is now a lifelong process that happens both in and out of school through collaboration between different generations. Finally, it argues that teaching must integrate technology, shift to being student-centered, and implement differentiated instruction using students' available resources in order to prepare them for the future.
Education is a fundamental pillar of human development, serving as a catalyst for personal and societal progress. It encompasses a diverse range of processes and experiences that contribute to the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes. This 500-word description aims to explore the multifaceted nature of education, delving into its importance, key components, challenges, and the transformative impact it has on individuals and communities.
At its core, education is a lifelong journey that begins in early childhood and continues throughout one's life. It involves formal and informal learning experiences that take place in various settings, including schools, colleges, universities, and beyond. The primary goal of education is to empower individuals with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of the world, fostering intellectual growth, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
One of the key components of education is literacy, which goes beyond the ability to read and write. Literacy involves the capacity to understand, interpret, and communicate effectively in a rapidly evolving global context. Basic education lays the foundation for advanced learning, enabling individuals to participate actively in civic life, pursue meaningful careers, and contribute to the socio-economic development of their

Quest for Knowledge: MOOCs Provide Insigts to InnovationJay Gendron
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) could solve old problems in new ways. More than ever, people need access to knowledge. Since the earliest of days, this has been a never-ending quest. This paper looks at the knowledge process from the domain of education in order to stimulate innovation and advancement in another source of knowledge – modeling and simulation. This paper explores knowledge, starting with the innovations that propelled MOOCs to their current position in the marketplace. It then offers a framework based on current studies and draws parallels to modeling and simulation, probing the questions as to how modeling and simulation can learn from MOOCs so decision makers have greater access to knowledge more directly and easily through modeling and simulation tools as well as the discipline formed by that community. Today's modeling and simulation leaders need awareness of the MOOC business model and the potentially high returns on investment when integrating models and tools to solve new problems.

How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

In 2009, Daphne Koller realized that the way she and other
professors on Stanford University campus were teaching
their students was backwardstheir students was backwards.
«I would walk into class, deliver the same lecture, tell the
same stories, again and again, and never have a chance to, g g ,
engage with my students in a meaningful way.»
«Why don't I just pre-record the lecture, add interactive
elements to make it less boring, and come to class to
actually talk to my students?»
S D h K ll b ffl di h l t ti t So, Daphne Koller began offloading her lecture time to
video so she could spend more time interacting with
students in class, a method now widely referred to as the
"flipped classroom."
