A presentation to the English Australia Ed Tech Symposium - Plenary Address.
Abstract: Those institutions that have pivoted rapidly from teaching face-to face to teaching fully online have learned many lessons over the last 18 months, both good and bad. But for some, this has been nothing new, instead it’s simply been business as usual. We have seen that those who fared better have well established frameworks in place to mediate their technology-enhanced learning offerings. That is, they have recognised processes that define how they translate what they have in policy, procedures and planning into practice. Such a framework can be found within a number of quality tools, that are designed to provide institutions with clear guidelines as to what need to be in place to facilitate a robust and consistent approach to teaching with technology. Once present, it makes it easier to undertake online teaching that does more than just mimic face-to-face practice, providing a robust platform to allow innovative pedagogies to thrive. Typically, this means the online learning has, or can become far more, active, collaborative and authentic. This presentation with share some of the things that have been observed across the higher education sector over the last 18 moths that we can all learn from.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives.

Travers Mitchell & Johnson - Online information literacy: creative in-house collaborations
1. LILAC 2012
Info skills @ UEL
Ella Mitchell
Catherine Johnson
Kelly Travers
12th April 2012
www.uel.ac.uk/infoskills
2. Workshop plan:
• Background to Info skills project
• Demonstration of Info skills
• Group discussion exercise
• Feedback and Q&A
www.uel.ac.uk/infoskills
3. Info skills….
Info skills is an award winning online
resource which guides undergraduates
through researching their first
assignment, with emphasis on
identifying, finding and evaluating
information and referencing
4. The origins:
• At UEL a resource developed by Employability
Unit: ‘Get that Job’
• Established a precedent
• Brand
• Open
5. Why the Library felt a need for the
resource:
• What we had was good but difficult to find
• Wanted highlight key information for students
tackling their first assignment in an easy to
navigate structure
• A resource to suit different learning needs of
our students and students that are not always
on campus
• We wanted a refresher for students
• Available 24/7 to match many of our services
and to meet students’ expectations
• A resource that was not too dictatorial: to suit
our ‘strategic learners’
6. Why this approach?
• Focus on level one learners due to cost and time
restrictions
• Information skills and academic integrity the
priority
• Making information skills relevant to the student /
assignment-focussed
• Students sometimes respond better to their fellow
students
• Professional-looking resource
• Student choice about where, when and how they
access help and support: “dark recesses of their
bedroom”
www.uel.ac.uk/infoskills
7. What we had already
• UEL Library webpages
• Information on the VLE
• A lot of great information….. But not a
very clear layout and needed navigation
guidance
www.uel.ac.uk/infoskills
8. What we liked out there
• Staffordshire Assignment Survival Kit
• Cardiff Information Literacy Resource Bank
• Leeds Skills@Library
• OU Safari
There are many other examples of good practice in this
area.
www.uel.ac.uk/infoskills
10. How we did it
• Getting funding
• Setting up project team
• Consultations
• High level design
• Content map
• Prototype
• Detailed design
• Content collection from SMEs
• Intensive development
– web design – video production – guides – demonstrations – quizzes -
writing pages
• Uploading content
• Summative evaluations
• Final version and launch
• Copyright
• Marketing
www.uel.ac.uk/infoskills
11. High level design approach
• Dedicated learning resource
• Open
• Clear structure
• Transparent navigation
• Bite-size – text-lite, granular resources
• Variety of types of resources
• Content can be used in different ways
• Assignment context – the ‘why’
• Student videos – peer advice and experience
• Professional web design

14. Benefits of collaboration:
• The Library team worked very closely with the
UEL connect team: proved a productive
partnership
• Technical abilities/project management skills
• Library team content
• Project team; small, met regularly and enabled
decision making
• Outside perspective- helped the library team to
focus on key aspects of information skills
• Collaborations with academic staff and students
allowed for different voices and perspectives
15. What do users think?
• “Found Info skills very useful – great idea to put it all together” D. Patel
UEL student
• “It makes me feel like you care about my education” UEL Student
• “I have had another look at your Info skills pages and they are very
impressive” K. Virdee, Academic Liaison Librarian
• “p.s. I only discovered the eBook thanks to the InfoSkills website -
very useful!” An e-mail from a student support officer, at one of our collaborative partnership
institutions.
• ‘UEL’s new information literacy site looks good. Does what it says on
the tin.’ Tweet
• “Some of the questions on plagiarism [quiz] for example really got the
students talking and debating - particularly self-plagiarism” Module
leader for VT1013 Study Skills
• Library staff have been using the site and there has been some good
feedback from students in information skills sessions. Lecturers have
also been using the site and noting the resource in course materials.
www.uel.ac.uk/infoskills
18. Impact:
• The usage figures seem to be consistently
high with peak around assignment time.
• Info skills has been integrated by many of
the skills module leaders at UEL.
• Business, Health and Bioscience,
Psychology, Arts and Digital Industries
and Architecture, Computing and
Engineering all use Info skills in the level
one skills module.
19. Looking to the future:
• The site has been running since Sept 2011
• The usage statistics are strong, however need
continued marketing to promote use.
• Develop more multimedia content- currently the
subject team are working to produce quizzes
• Continuing collaboration with UEL Connect
• Conduct further evaluation- possibly looking into
the wider use of Info skills- more focused on
academics use
• Study skills branding at UEL: next project Write it
right….

demonstrate our Info skills site to you:
