Building eduCommons Sustainability Through Social Sourcing
A presentation on current efforts to move eduCommons (an open source OpenCourseWare content management system) from a grant-funded project to a community supported development model called social sourcing. This presentation was given at the OCWC Global 2009 Conference in Monterrey, Mexico on April 23, 2009.
Dumontier OWLED2008 Panel
OWL faces barriers to adoption such as complexity that intimidates developers without formal logic training. Its roadmap and requirements for research are unclear. However, OWL will not fail because it greatly improves previous knowledge representation languages, has a talented growing community, and specification through W3C provides legitimacy despite current performance issues.
Week5- Media Convergence
The document discusses the concept of media convergence, which refers to the merging of computing, telecommunications, and media in a digital environment. It outlines several implications of convergence, including the nonlinear and interactive nature of content, increased media consumption and participation from the public, changes in the balance of power between media organizations and users, pressures on media organizations from social and economic forces, and changes to the work of communications professionals.

Social media provides opportunities for government engagement but also challenges. Government should engage with social media communities by being open, seeding discussions, and supporting community dynamics rather than exploiting users. Both using existing platforms and building custom platforms each have advantages and disadvantages. Broad communities may be harder to manage but include more voices, while specialist communities can engage existing groups but risk being exclusive. Different models of government-citizen interaction through social media include services integration, online portals, and facilitating self-managing communities. Successful initiatives often start small with a manageable topic or community.

Horizon Project Introduction for Students
The document introduces The Horizon Project, a global collaborative project for classrooms to study emerging technologies and their potential impact on education. It identifies six key trends - user-created content, social networking, mobile phones, virtual worlds, new forms of scholarship, and educational gaming. For the project, students will be assigned to teams to study and produce content about one trend, including developing a wiki and individual multimedia artifacts. The goal is for students to envision how each trend could impact the future of education.
SCOOTER UKOER V Rolfe OER11_conference
The document summarizes the SCOOTER project which aims to build an online community around open educational resources (OERs) about sickle cell and thalassaemia using social networking tools. In the first 5 months, social networks referred 30% of over 1,500 visitors to the SCOOTER website and SCOOTER OERs received over 4,000 views on networks like Posterous and YouTube. While the community is currently mostly passive users, the project aims to encourage more active engagement to help sustain the resources beyond the initial project. Both online networks and offline networking are important for building a vibrant community to drive the long-term sustainability of the OERs.

Organisations are moving past the question, "should we adopt new technologies and practices to support collaboration?", but are still struggling to understand how. This presentation provides some key insights and tips in this journey.
Online Collaboration in the Workplace: Going Social and Collaborating Across...
Online collaboration in the workplace allows for scalable participation beyond physical constraints, bridging distances within and outside an organization. It differs from external social media in that it challenges but extends established company structures and hierarchies while maintaining business processes and virtual "walls". To build online communities and scale collaboration, organizations should establish a shared vision to guide active contribution towards shared goals and outcomes, maintain coherence as new participants introduce dissonance, and start small while focusing on meaningful interactions and purpose. Online collaboration can be supported through technologies that reflect strategic habits, continuous experimentation and iterative prototyping of new and existing tools, and explicit sharing of captured learnings.

2012 Florida Distance Learning Talk
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the Open Course Library project in Washington State. It summarizes that:
1) High textbook costs reduce access to higher education, with students spending over $1,000 per year. The Open Course Library aims to lower these costs to under $30 per course.
2) The Open Course Library project will develop 81 high-enrollment courses and make them freely available online under Creative Commons licenses. This could save students over $7 million per year if 25% of courses use the resources.
3) Openly licensing educational content produced with public funds can help increase access, quality, and completion rates in higher education while making more efficient use of resources.
Open education policy in WA
This document discusses open education policy in Washington State. It outlines challenges in higher education around textbook costs, time to degree, and completion rates that could be addressed through open education opportunities. The document proposes several strategies for advancing open education, including developing an open course library, adopting open textbooks, and leveraging existing governance structures between community colleges to share digital resources and designs. The goal is to lower costs for students while maintaining or improving educational outcomes.
Open Course Library Update
The Open Course Library is a project to design and share 81 high-enrollment gateway courses across Washington state community and technical colleges to improve completion rates and lower textbook costs for students. Phase 1 made 42 courses available in 2011 using various tools, while Phase 2 will deliver 39 more courses in 2013 using Google Docs for a more collaborative design process. Adopting the free open educational resources from these courses could save students up to $41 million per year in textbook costs if 25% of faculty adopt them. Lessons from Phase 1 informed improvements to project timelines and use of a single collaborative tool for Phase 2.

The document summarizes research being conducted on the adoption of Open Course Library (OCL) materials by colleges in Washington state. The research aims to understand how OCL materials are being used, barriers to adoption, and the impact on student success. Preliminary findings from focus groups and interviews with faculty who adopted OCL materials found that they liked the pre-packaged materials and cost savings, but others faced barriers like materials residing in ANGEL and lack of support. Keys to successful adoption included communities of users, continuous improvement, and connections to authors. The implementation plan proposes building an OER hub, advisory group, workshops, and atmosphere welcoming OER use.

The Opportunity Is Open
Tom Caswell presented on open educational resources (OER) and their potential to increase access to higher education while lowering costs. He discussed the "iron triangle" of higher education where improving one factor like access negatively impacts quality or cost. However, OER which are openly licensed educational materials that can be freely used and adapted, may help break this constraint. By openly licensing educational content created with public funds, OER allow for non-rivalrous distribution at nearly zero cost, benefiting both students and institutions. The Washington State Board has launched an Open Course Library of OER for high-enrollment courses to reduce costs and improve student outcomes.
Open Assessments and OERs as Enablers in Competency-Based Education
Call for Demos for the X International UOC UNESCO Chair Seminar
Title: Open Assessments and OERs as Enablers in Competency-Based Education
Tom Caswell, Helix Education
Brandon Muramatsu, MIT
It has been said that if you are measuring seat time rather than competency then you are measuring the wrong end of the student. Competency-based education has received a great deal of attention as a disruptive innovation that promises to raise quality and lower the cost of higher education. EDUCAUSE defines competency-based education (CBE) as awarding academic credit based on mastery of clearly defined competencies. In traditional higher education time is fixed and learning varies, which is why students receive grades at the end of a quarter or semester. Contrast this with competency-based education, where learning is fixed and time varies for each student. But if time varies then how do students know when they are done? Assessments play a central role in CBE because student performance must be measured against set standards.
While there are vast repositories of OERs, relatively few come with assessments to validate knowledge or check for understanding. In this demo we will show the Open Embedded Assessment (OEA) tool developed by MIT and Open Tapestry. Open Assessment complements existing OER efforts with tools to allow instructors to embed assessments in any OER, thereby providing students with a richer learning experience. Faculty can also create shared collections of assessment items with other faculty. We will demonstrate the current state of Open Embedded Assessments as both a formative and a summative tool. We will discuss the opportunities and challenges of a CBE implementation.
As more institutions explore competency-based education the need for an open infrastructure will grow. Helix Education is developing CBE courses using OERs to show what is possible within the Helix platform. Open Embeddable Assessments allow OERs to be leveraged into richer learning environments. Enhanced with Open Embeddable Assessments, these environments can provide valuable information back to students, faculty, and instructional designers. This data can expose gaps and deficiencies in the course -- areas that should be strengthened. And with open content the opportunity for data-driven improvement can be fully realized because the OERs can be legally modified. Together, Open Embeddable Assessments and OERs create a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement that can serve competency-based education well.

Much of the evidence surrounding the use (and re-use) of OER is fragmentary or anecdotal. The OLnet project has developed a software tool for effectively gathering, sharing and judging the evidence around key issues of OER. The Evidence Hub distills key insights from the cloud of discussion and opinion creating a thematically indexed, structured ecosystem of organisations, project, issues, recommendations and evidence for the use of those who form the Open Education movement. In this presentation we explain the key concepts behind the Evidence Hub and some of its possible uses.
Net Effectiveness Oct 6
This document discusses networks and network leadership. It provides an overview of characteristics of healthy networks, including value, trust, diversity, participation, form, leadership, governance, connection, capacity, and learning/adaptation.

Bases of Power: Formal Power
• Established by an individual’s
position in an organization
• Legitimate Power
– The formal authority to control and
use resources based on a person’s
position in the formal hierarchy
• Coercive Power
– A power base dependent on fear of
negative results
– Ultimately, you can't build credibility
with this type of power
– Negatively related to satisfaction and
commitment.
• Reward Power
– Compliance achieved based on the
ability to distribute rewards that
others view as valuable 4
Bases of Power: Personal Power
• Power that comes from an individual’s unique characteristics
– Expert Power: based on special skills or knowledge
– _________ Power
• based on identification with an individual who has desirable resources or
personal traits
• Out of admiration of another and a desire to be like that person (with
charisma, integrity, and other positive qualities)
• These are more effective form of power than formal power
influencing satisfaction with supervision, org’l commitment,
and performance. 5
Power Tactics
• Power Tactics
– Ways in which individuals translate power bases into
specific actions
• Legitimacy
• Rational persuasion*

How Power Affects People
• Power leads people to place their own interests ahead of others.
• The powerful pay less attention to others, so are more
vulnerable to stereotyping (Fiske, 1993).
• The powerful impose more strict moral standards on others than
themselves.
• It is important that organizations help leaders feel socially
connected with subordinates, and develop empathy. Hiring
leaders with moral identity is also advised.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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

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.
