In 2006 a group of library and information studies academics and experts from three European universities – Oslo University College in Norway, Tallinn University in Estonia and the University of Parma in Italy - began talks and consultations to develop a Master programme to impart knowledge and skills in digital libraries. The outcome was the formation of the two-year International Master in Digital Library Learning (DILL) programme. After taking in the first batch of 18 students from 16 different countries across the world in 2007, DILL has continued to train different cohorts of varying numbers in the last decade. In this paper, I identify the various stages in DILL’s developmental process following a community of practice framework by (Wenger and Snyder, 2000). Data was drawn primarily from literature including the various DILL websites from the different consortia institutions, combined with a reflection of my own experience of the DILL programme and activities. My analysis of the DILL programme is mainly based on the activities of its first two years, as I was a member of the first batch of DILL students. However, my continuous association with key contacts in the programme also offered useful observations that provided data for this study. While DILL was planned to primarily provide education for the Digital Librarian new professional, specific details of the programme also offer extensive knowledge in other areas including understanding of innovative digital services, interactive digital exhibitions, gamification techniques (such as topic maps), etc. There was also understanding of skills in knowledge management and human resource management, which are still relevant for emerging trends in modern global education and digital information environment. The programme is rich with expert local professors and numerous visiting lecturers who made DILL a unique learning experience.
DILL programme is developing into a virtual community of experts who collaborate from various locations of the world to discuss and share ideas not only on digital library related issues, but also other issues that can enhance the development of members within the community and beyond. DILL provides a useful model for other disciplines where experts seek to collaborate to develop consortia programmes to advance knowledge in their area. The fast developing digital technologies and changing library and information studies environment have resulted in new competencies and skills required of modern digital librarians. As DILL steps into its second decade, the programme may be more effective if its curriculum content is targeted to evenly assess the professional knowledge, generic skills and specific personal competencies of today’s digital librarians.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
