This Guide contains some of the resources that have been helpful to us at LeaderComm and to many others. It is not meant to be exhaustive, but is a “living”
document that will be updated periodically.
The document describes a scenario where:
1) Human population gradually increases to 10.4 billion by 2100 while economic development remains steady, though technological change decreases.
2) Emphasis is placed on local and regional solutions to sustainability issues rather than global solutions.
3) Global emissions levels are not extremely high or low.
This document discusses the need to critically engage young students with digital literacies and explores students' current digital practices. It finds that students are eager to co-create their learning environments but need guidance and support to do so. A study was proposed to map undergraduate students' digital tool use inside and outside of university to understand their expectations, needs, and visions regarding digital practice. The study found students are mostly consumers online rather than producers and creators, and have difficulty networking and exploring new tools without support. This suggests universities need to better facilitate students' digital fluency in academic contexts.
SCOOTER UKOER V Rolfe OER11_conferenceVivien Rolfe
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.
It's a MOOC, let's copy it! A Xerte use casegedoyle
This document discusses copying an online course from FutureLearn onto Xerte, an authoring tool. The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine created a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on global blindness on FutureLearn. The University of Cape Town used Xerte to copy the MOOC content and structure to create a localized online course. They modified some content like videos and quizzes while keeping the overall structure and navigation. Analytics from the Xerte course showed time spent on quizzes and number of quizzes submitted. For future uses of Xerte, they wish to track more statistics and add features like a progress bar.
The document discusses the 2008 Horizon Report, which identifies and describes emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on education over the next five years. The report is produced through an extensive research process involving an international advisory board. It groups technologies into three categories based on their expected time to adoption in mainstream education: technologies likely to become established within one year (Horizon 1), two to three years (Horizon 2), and three to five years (Horizon 3). The 2008 report identified grassroots video, collaboration webs, mobile broadband, data mashups, collective intelligence and social operating systems as important emerging technologies.
With apologies to the great twentieth century philosopher, Don Henley, this talk looks back to the reasons we did learn and looks forward to some of the ways technology might help us to learn for the future.
The document summarizes research from the OpenHabitat project, which explored using multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) in higher education. The researchers found that once instructors became literate in MUVEs, they saw them as offering experiential learning opportunities rather than requiring new pedagogies. The 'otherness' of MUVEs provides reflection opportunities for students and teachers. The project's two pilots revealed that successful learning relies more on social literacies and student-teacher dialogue than on skills-based planning or strict adherence to in-world construction. Overall, MUVEs should be seen as immersive experiences that contextualize course content in a new environment and support peer learning.
This document discusses collaboration in education through online means. It provides examples of journals and resources on topics like virtual mentoring between teachers, collaboration in electronic learning communities, and teaching and learning in an online environment. Websites are referenced that enable collaboration projects for educators and provide digital opportunities for students. In conclusion, online collaboration is important for today's society as it allows interaction within and across communities through virtual tools and resources.

Embracing uncertainty: collaboration as learningDave Cormier
This document discusses embracing uncertainty through collaboration. It identifies 4 types of uncertainty - simple, complicated, chaotic, and complex - and suggests better and worse ways to approach each. It also discusses trends in online courses, internationalization, analytics, and communities as curriculum. The key message is that collaboration across boundaries and iterating experiments is better than relying on experts or past practices when facing complex problems with uncertain solutions.
Building and Communicating Evidence of Effectiveness in OER through Collectiv...Robert Farrow
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.

The document provides background information on the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and outlines a marketing strategy developed by Golden Valley Creative Group. Key points include:
- The Kauffman Center is Kansas City's premier arts venue but is looking to increase engagement among children ages 6-13.
- Primary research through focus groups and surveys found that children need to feel they have a place at the Center.
- The proposed strategy includes launching a youth web portal and an annual Grandparents Day event to strengthen relationships with children.
- Competitive research identified strengths like fundraising ability but also weaknesses like lack of child-friendly activities at the Center.

The document provides a simplified history of the origins and development of modern banking from the perspective of some individuals with experience in secret parts of world finance. It traces the flow of gold from King Solomon of Jerusalem in 930 BC to Queen Shaba of Jawa, who safeguarded Solomon's gold assets and bloodline. Over centuries, huge amounts of gold flowed to Jawa from China and Europe via the spice trade. The Knights Templar discovered something under Solomon's Temple and established the first international banking system in Europe before being destroyed in 1307. They fled to locations like Scotland, Switzerland and Portugal. The Rothschild family came to dominate banking in Europe and helped establish central banks like the Bank of England to finance wars and governments.
La guerra de independencia española no fue solo una lucha contra los franceses, sino también una guerra civil entre los propios españoles. Los afrancesados eran españoles que apoyaban a José Bonaparte y las reformas de la revolución francesa, viendo esto como la mejor forma de modernizar a España. Algunos afrancesados famosos fueron Moratín, Lista, Javier de Burgos y Goya. Tras la derrota francesa en 1812, muchos afrancesados tuvieron que exiliarse.

Field Note Collaborations for Week 3
Field notes are a very important part of anthropological research. Anthropologists use their field notes to make records about what they are seeing and thinking while conducting research. For your collaboration you are being asked to make your own field notes, based on the assigned course materials. As you read the assigned material or watch an assigned video for this week, download the Weekly Study Field Notes (Links to an external site.) document and fill out a new set of field notes in which you are expected to write down important concepts, parts of your reading that you might have questions about, or even content that you find surprising or interesting. Just like the notes that an anthropologist makes in the field, your notes must be clear and easy to read because you will be uploading and sharing them with your peers in the collaboration.

Iterating an Innovation Model: Challenges and Opportunities in Adapting Accel...juliahaines
Startup accelerators have expanded worldwide in recent years, fostering the development of technology startups and spreading Lean practices and Silicon Valley values to all corners of the globe. These accelerators clearly create value—for the teams whose development they foster, the products they create, and the larger ecosystems they build. But there are also a number of challenges arising from the model and how it is implemented in different contexts globally. Through fieldwork at accelerators in Singapore and Buenos Aires, I investigate the global expansion of this innovation model. In this paper, I discuss the most salient challenges and discuss potential opportunities emerging from these challenges, and how other methods and practices such as design thinking, intensive user research and flexible, bottom up-approaches can add value to the accelerator process. I also highlight mutually beneficial ways the EPIC community can become more involved in startups ecosystems.
This is a paper published in the proceedings of the 2014 Ethnographic Praxis in Industry Conference (EPIC).

Learning the Lingo: Building Foundations for Successful Partnerships and Collaborations upon which Successful Systems Integrations can be Built
Carl Grant, Associate Dean, Knowledge Services & Chief Technology Officer, University of Oklahoma
The workshop brought together over 30 practitioners from 10 projects using eportfolios to support work-based learners. Presentations showed how institutions have implemented eportfolios for work-based training, professional development, accreditation of prior learning, and to improve retention and attainment. Tools like PebblePad and Expo were used to structure learning activities, encourage reflection, and assess students. While implementation faced challenges, projects found eportfolios addressed original issues and added benefits like improved skills and recruitment. The event shared lessons learned and highlighted the role of communities in promoting eportfolio use for work-based learning.

SENN 2013 Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation-130918.pptZiaUlhaq765467
This document discusses participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E). It begins by defining key terms like participation, monitoring, and evaluation. Participation refers to stakeholders influencing and sharing control over development initiatives that affect them. Monitoring is collecting data on implementation to compare to expected results, while evaluation assesses projects for relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability.
The document then explains that PM&E is a process where stakeholders at all levels engage in monitoring or evaluating a project and share control over the content, process, and results. It involves stakeholders like end users and local organizations. The four steps of PM&E are planning the process, gathering data, analyzing data, and sharing information to define actions. The planning phase includes identifying stakeholders
Insights into the process of successful cross-sector partnering
* create better case study collection and dissemination methods
* deepen understanding of case studies as tools for change.
Scientists and activists concerned about the future of human society and the planet have pointed to the urgent need for what they term sustainability transitions (Clark 2001; Raskin et al. 2002). In other words, due to the complex, systemic, and interrelated nature of the serious social, economic, and environmental problems confronting us, we need entirely new forms of solutions. Clearly, we humans must learn to think differently about our complex world and to work together in unusual and very strategic new ways. We need to more fully see and understand the systems within which we all exist so that we can learn to identify and create conditions for social innovation.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
