1 WIKIS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING PARADIGMThiyagu K
Wikis are a very versatile and easy-to-use tool that is finding increasing applications in teaching and learning. Wikis are largely used in education for both teaching and learning. Wikis can be used in the classroom to support many learning approaches. Learning approaches that could most be supported by wikis are collaborative learning and the constructivist learning paradigms. A wiki is a web page that can be viewed and modified by anybody with a web browser and access to the internet. This means that any visitor to the wiki can change its content if they desire. While the potential for mischief exists, wikis can be surprisingly robust, open-ended, collaborative group sites. This paper deals about the characteristics of wiki, wiki as a learning tool and uses of wiki in education. This paper also explains the concept of STOLEN principles for using wiki in higher education.

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

11. Wikis
A wiki is an interactive web page on which
everyone with access can change the content.
Think of the wiki as most useful for collaboration,
editorship, and data compilation.
Wikis are designed to help groups collaborate,
share, and build online content, and are
especially useful for distance learners who are
separated by time and place.
12. Wikis
Although the concept of wikis has been around
for many years, the first true wiki, called
WikiWikiWeb, was created by Ward Cunningham
in 1995
http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiWeb
13. Wikis
Wiki, derived from the Hawaiian word for “quick,”
to mean a collection of Web pages that can be
edited by anyone.
14. Types of Wikis
Once you have decided to use a wiki, where do you
find the one that will work best with your online
course? Wikis are available through a wide variety of
services and open-source software tools, and
generally fall into three categories, each with its own
set of strengths and limitations:
Free wiki services
Fee-based wiki services
Self-hosted wikis
15. Free Wikis Services
Free Wiki Services Free wiki services are available at
no cost through a wiki provider, such as:
@Wiki (http://atwiki.com)
Wikihost.org (http://www.wikihost.org)
16. Fee-based Wikis Services
Fee-based wikis are also hosted and accessed from
the wiki service’s Web servers. These services offer
expanded features based on the type of subscription
you select. Features may include more advanced
management capabilities, more storage, or added
security. In addition, fee-based services typically
allow a larger, or even unlimited, number of members
and pages.
17. Self-hosted Wikis Services
Wiki software can also be installed directly on a
personal or campus-controlled server space. A
variety of free, open-source wiki software is available
for download from the Interne
Mediawiki (www.mediawiki.org)
Twiki (www.twiki.org)
18. Wikis
Allow readers to collaborate with others in
writing it and adding, editing, and changing
the Web page’s content at any time.
Teachers can use wikis for students to
collaborate on a document by writing, editing,
and revising it in their own class.

19. Wikis for Education
The following are examples of activities that lend
themselves well to collaboration in a shared wiki:
Your learners are building an archive of resources
on a particular topic.
Your learners are exploring different sides of an
issue by means of a debate.
Our learners need to work together to create a
unified project, such as a collaborative research
paper or media design project.
