The changing role of the IT leader - Jisc Digital Festival 2015Jisc
The higher education IT enterprise has become complex. The IT department is no longer simply responsible for provisioning IT infrastructure and services, but increasingly helps to re-envision business and service models—all in a context of cost and accountability pressures.
IT is simultaneously more challenging, relevant, and exciting than ever; leading IT requires unique characteristics and capabilities.
The proliferation of communication technologies is profoundly changing the nature of academic practice. In this presentation I describe the impact of blogging and social networking tools on the practice and dissemination of academic research across disciplinary boundaries. I suggest that the traditional notion of the university is giving way to communities of scholars who are not tied to particular institutions, and less dependent on traditional forms of dissemination and publication. The resulting ‘democratisation’ of academia is portrayed in terms of a tension between democracy and expert knowledge mediated by technology.
One prominent contemporary challenge for technologists is to understand the ongoing impact of technological change on academic communities. At The Open University, the Digital Scholarship research team is mapping the use of Twitter in order to better understand user engagement with these technologies. I will present headline findings from this research and discuss the implications for scholarly practice at the OU.

DesignLab is a creative and cross-disciplinary ecosystem, connecting science and society by way of creative intelligence and transdisciplinary innovation. It fosters an entrepreneurial mind-set; contributes to educate global citizens of tomorrow, focuses on societal challenges and forges new and effective collaborations. Faculty and students from various academic fields work together with companies and governments to implement and develop scientific and technological insights that can be used in finding and shaping creative, innovative and meaningful solutions for complex societal challenges. Positioned deliberately at the cross-roads of design (thinking), technology, science and humanities, it both bridges and transcends traditional ways of innovation.

Digital examination, forms and tools for aggregation of information and cogni...Johan Thorbiörnson
Plattformar för e-learning har huvudsakligen varit teknologier för att organisatoriskt kunna hantera stora studentgrupper som är skilda åt i tid och rum. Detta görs fortfarande men sådan undervisning sker inte alltid enligt den traditionella hierarkiska formen, utan iscensätts även i nya undervisningsformer. Denna presentation tar utgångspunkt i James Surowieckis begrepp "the wisdom of crowds" för att diskutera formerna för aggregering av kunskap och den dynamik som uppstår i kunskapssökande grupper. Webbplattformen Math.se komer att presenteras liksom nya initiativ inom e-learning på KTH såsom KTH Virtuellt campus.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
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. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.
