The document discusses university centers located in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. It provides examples of multi-institutional campuses (MICs) in various countries that bring together multiple universities and educational institutions in one geographic location. MICs can take various forms, from small regional campuses to massive projects with hundreds of thousands of students. The document explores the mechanisms and perspectives that drive the development of MICs, including increasing access to higher education, regional development needs, and universities' growing focus on research and specialization.

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 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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

7. But who are we?
What is this?
A local random
construction?
Something that just
happened?
What should we
call it?
8. Identity search for a regional
learning environment?
THE CENTRALIZED UNIVERSITY VOICE:
• Isn it enough that we call it ”Umeå
university in Skellefteå”, or ”Umeå
university educations in Skellefteå”?(before ~2008)
• We call it our ”Skellefteå Campus” (Luleå
University of Technology)
9. Older identity trials
• ….started as SKERIA, in the 80ies,
”Skellefteå Education and Research on
Industrial Applications”
• ”A study center”? ”A learning center”?
• A ”college”, undefined in Sweden?
• …was this a ”university hotel”, like an
”office hotel” or ”web hotel”?
• …or a multi-university campus?
10. ”Multi-university campus”
…hmm…worth a web search…
• Chricton Campus, Dumfries, Scotland –
”the first multi-university campus in the
United Kingdom”
• …and after many contacts attempts:
• …Prof Rex Taylor, University of
Glasgow, Director Chricton Campus :
Come! We must talk about this!
13. ”Multi-institutional campus”
"A campus where two or more distant
educational institutions cooperate with
each other and local development
agencies to create new educational and
training opportunities in a locality deprived
of such opportunities“
(Prof Rex Taylor, Director of University of Glasgow’s operations on Crichton
Campus, presentation on Campus Skellefteå October 26th, 2005)
14. What is a ”multi-institutional
campus” (MIC)?
• …or a multi-university campus?
Well, it is not…
• The same main campus for two universities
• A multi-campus university
• A university system
• A university in the making
• A multiversity

30. Guangzhou HE Mega Center:
Idea?
• Focus on IT industry: implementing the
integration of “studies, research, production”
through interactivities with the existing IT
industry, and thus enhancing the
comprehensive competitiveness of
Guangzhou City.
• Promoting academic culture and tourism : the
university town is situated near by dozens of
touristic attractions in Guangzhou. The
rich campus culture can eventually add lustre
to the existing tourism industry.
http://www.upo.gov.cn/plan2007/zdxmgh/949.shtml
31. Guangzhou HE Mega Center:
Common management
• The establishment and operation of the university
town is the integration of the cooperation between the government,
universities and community.
• Guangzhou University town’s management model
– Social security and traffic communications - responsibility of the
government.
– Public facilities management - responsibility of municipal
– logistics of service – the responsibility of the community and
society.
• Police station, the traffic police brigade, fire brigade are established in
the university to ensure the security management is in place;
• The management in the university are taken care by the
municipality and the government, hence the schools could focus
on their academic activities.
http://www.lwlm.com/KaoChaBaoGao/201201/627882.htm
32. “University Town”
大学城 “Campus City”
• Definition by China National Committee for
Terms in Sciences and Technology
“An urban (suburban) area which develops
around one or several well-known
universities. Such new town is constituted by
one or more campuses, and is equipped with
living/residential area, sport stadium, research
& development zone and large green open
space.”
http://baike.baidu.com/view/46244.htm
38. Range of MIC:s
• From nearly local service for distance
educations…
• ….to small campuses, comparable with
smaller HE institutions
• …to supermarkets of universities
• …to massive upscaling projects aiming at
400 000 students at the same campus
– …but some characteristics in common!
39. Mechanisms?
• Higher education access needed
• Life-Long Learning increases
• The symbolic importance of places
• Regions take their fate in own hands
• Fast education up-scaling by outsourcing
• Differentiation of regional education
provision in a world of institutional
specialization
43. ”University” & ”campus” sliding
apart
• A ”University” becomes more of a
specialized international brand of research
….and education?
• A ”Campus” develops into a
customizeable local / regional platform for
universities and other organizations, filling
a local function
44. Two perspectives in MIC
backgrounds
1) University outreach perspective
2) Regional development perspective
45. 1. University outreach perspective
Learning centres
Branch campuses
Main campus
International
campus
SL campus
…and there are 17000+ universities… (source:Webometrics)
46. ..so universities international campuses
sometimes happens to co-exist in the same
infrastructures elsewhere…
…which often is the idea itself from the
regional perspective
But MIC:s are not easily visible from the
centralized university / hierarchical horizon?
47. 2. Regional development
perspective
• Regions, subregions, cities, villages are trying
to become competitive in the global
knowledge economy
• Belief in “Triple Helix” cooperation and
innovation, “the Knowledge triangle”, “The
Entrepreneurial university”, etc
…but what if there is no university present?
48. …regional development
perspective
• …a university presence, or a local
campus, is very valuable for development
purposes…at almost any cost?
• …but a university can demand 50+ years
to form
• …and we have a tension between old
national provision and current regional
demand
• …university presence /representation is
becoming a necessity in all communities?
49. Zayed University, Abu Dhabi, UAE True?
And it comes now in all sizes:
..there are no future-confident regions that lack higher
education, research and innovation?
50.
51.
52.
53. Lets sum up: MIC – “recipe” / European
• >1 regional university with decentralised F2F (face-to-face) classes
• Learning centre with support to flexible learning students
• Local R&D, development projects, mm
• Vocational and polytechnical education
• Science Park, Business labs & business startup
• Local coordination organisation often needed
• Local construction and ownership of buildings and infrastructure? Or
is there an older useful infrastructure?
= concentration of development factors in one
place, a MIC – representing the direction
towards the future?
54. MIC PROBLEM AREAS
• Very dependent on the universities
• Must attract students
• Expensive for the local region/city
• Hard to understand at first glance
• Education-heavy, research-poor
55. MIC POSSIBILITIES
• Very flexible
• Very scalable
• Can offer university presence without a new
university
• Can support local business development
• If one university leaves, another can replace it
• Synergy effects between universities possible
• The MIC recruits mostly students that won t
move to a big campus – and these students will
often stay in the area after exam –if, but only
if, there are jobs…
56. Alternatives for local representation of a
university on a MUC
• Research and teaching department?
• Regional office?
• Only educations?
• Franchise construction?
• Subcontractor?
• …and often is a regional development
organisation important as a coordinator and
catalyst
57. University-University-relations on a MUC
• Parallelism? Policy agreement?
• Coordination? Consortium document?
Deal?
• Cooperation? “Agreement”?
“Tolerance”?
• Competition?
• Coopetition?
• Vertical relation – to mother university
• Horisontal relation – to other universities and
stakeholders on the MIC
58. University internal motivations
• Possibility to specialize more on academic
matters (as someone else helps manage
campus infrastructure)
• Specialization in global research makes a
university handicapped in broadness of local
education offerings in the long run, will
increasingly need cooperation in education
• Local / regional interests pay some
infrastructure costs
59. Multi-institutional campus as HETEROTOPIA”/
”Of Other Spaces”? (Foucault 1967)
• “We are in the epoch of simultaneity: we are in
the epoch of juxtaposition, the epoch of the near
and far, of the side-by-side, of the dispersed.”
• “We may still not have reached the point of a
practical de-sanctification of space…”
• ”…something like counter-sites, a kind of
effectively enacted utopia in which the real
sites…are simultaneously represented,
contested, and inverted.”
• “The heterotopia is capable of juxtaposing in a
single real place several spaces…in themselves
incompatible.” http://foucault.info/documents/heteroTopia/foucault.heteroTopia.en.html
60. Wrapping up MIC…with speculations:
• Will most campuses in the future be of a multi-
institutional character?
• And will perhaps regional organizations run
practical management?
