In this Critical Mass POV, our social media team reviews the most interesting features and benefits to brands using Google+ Pages, outlines some great use-cases and offers some guidance on how your brand may want to approach Google+.
It's been 18 months since Google Plus launched Pages and many brands have been tentatively exploring Google's fledgling and enigmatic social network. Many have had great success, while others are still confused as to why they would build yet another social presence beyond what they've accomplished on Facebook and Twitter.
In short, determining how Google+ fits into a brand's growing social ecosystem can be a challenge for even the most seasoned social marketer. In this Critical Mass POV, our social media team reviews the most interesting features and benefits to brands using Google+ Pages, outlines some great use-cases and offers some guidance on how your brand may want to approach Google+ now and in the future.
This month, we're giving you an overview of Google+. A lot of our clients have been asking what it's all about so we're telling how you can get more out of it.

Google Plus Talk for the Chartered Institute of MarketingPhilip Oakley
Facebook has passed a billion users, Twitter has inspired revolutions and Linkedin has become the de facto standard in online business networking. Is there really room for another social network?
What is Google+?
How will Google+ affect search results?
How can Google+ help businesses and organisations?
How could social mixed with location and mobile make the marketing difference?
With more and more people owning smart phones and tablets, social, location and mobile are key areas in the marketing mix and Google could be in a prime position to be the leader in all of the key areas of online marketing over the next few years.
This is the presentation delivered by Andy Headworth from http://wwwsironaconsulting.com to the APSCo Marketing Forum in London on 25th April 2013. It is about how and why recruiters should be using Google+ for recruitment. I look at the power of Google+ for search engine optimisation (SEO), building talent pools and talent communities using Google+ and the power of content within Google + with Authorship.
Keep taking the tablets? The graduation of the iPad generationMartin Hamilton
Over the last ten years, smartphones and tablets and pervasive Internet connectivity have taken over our lives, and more importantly the lives of our children. In this talk for Loughborough University's 2018 Learning and Teaching conference I reflect on how higher education could respond to this trend. I invite the audience to consider what children who have always had access to the sum total of human knowledge will will expect and need from universities in the future, and how we might best support learners from disadvantaged backgrounds to thrive
The Intelligent Campus - Where the Internet of Things meets AI - HESCA June 2018Martin Hamilton
In this talk for the Higher Education Smart Card Assocation (HESCA) I introduce Jisc's Intelligent Campus initiative, which is looking at how we can connect data from Internet of Things sensors to Learning Analytics services to improve learning outcomes and attainment whilst also delivering institutional efficiency savings and exploring new delivery models for higher education
The Digital Book Thief has a Napster Moment - Edinburgh Near Future Library S...Martin Hamilton
We’ve grown accustomed to being able to call up any information, anywhere, any time - but what happens when our digital landlord forecloses? When that service we entrusted our data to goes to the Startup Graveyard? In this talk for the University of Edinburgh's Near Future Library Symposium I highlight some of the risks to our culture and the scientific record, and what the near future library can do to help
Martin Hamilton - The wind from nowhere - Horizon scanning in an uncertain ag...Martin Hamilton
Does it feel like the world has recently become much less certain and predictable? We tend to expect that each day will be like the last, more or less, but incremental change is increasingly feeling like a thing of the past. In this talk for the 2018 Scientia EMEA User Conference I look at how we can read the signals around us to better predict the future, and consider the impact of technologies and trends like blockchain, artificial intelligence and Brexit on further and higher education
From Blockchain to Brexit - edtech trends for 2018 - BETT 2018Martin Hamilton
In this talk for BETT 2018 I take a look at a few of the socio-technical trends that are set to have a big impact on universities and colleges in 2018 from blockchain to Brexit, and data vandalism to UK spaceports. I look at some approaches that institutions can take to help plan for an uncertain future, and consider how the community can mobilise to protect the progressive values that now often seem to be under threat.
Martin Hamilton - Digital skills: You won't believe what happened next!Martin Hamilton
We're often told how it's vitally important for everyone to develop their digital skills, but what digital skills will we need for near future careers, and how can we go about developing them? In this talk for the Manchester Digital Skills Festival 2018 I take a look at a few examples, including some that are literally out of this world
Martin Hamilton - Librarians in Outer Space - CILIP invited talkMartin Hamilton
We are becoming used to living in an interconnected world, with vast amounts of data at our fingertips, but what happens when our preconceptions are challenged? What happens when the things that we take for granted simply don’t work any more? How can librarians rise to the challenge? In this invited talk for CILIP, I reflect on the impact for libraries and librarians of some of the defining narratives of the late Anthropocene era: from climate change and failed states to cheap space travel and artificial intelligence

Martin Hamilton - Robots and AI, the calm before the Singularity? - BCS invit...Martin Hamilton
In this invited talk for the BCS I look at the state of the art in robots and artificial intelligence, and what this tells us about the near-term future that our children and grandchildren will live in. Will the imminent arrival of AI powered self-driving vehicles mean redundancies for truck and taxi drivers? What will these people do next? I also show how robots and AI are already becoming commonplace, working in places like shops, restaurants and distribution centres
Martin Hamilton - What did your AI make today? - BCS invited talkMartin Hamilton
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are used extensively by Internet services to help us find and classify information. This is how products like Google Photos can "magically" find all your photos of cats or trees - or cats up trees! But there's a new wave of AI called generative adversarial neural networks that's all about using AI to make things. In this invited talk for the British Computer Society (BCS) I reflect on what we could use this technology for and the implications for people and society.
Blockchain in research and education - UKSG Webinar - September 2017Martin Hamilton
There’s a lot of hype right now about blockchain, the technology that underpins the Bitcoin virtual currency, with speculation that it could transform just about every aspect of our lives. In this talk for UKSG I consider possible blockchain applications in research and education, and do a little myth-busting about when and where it makes sense to use blockchain.

What does HPC in the cloud look like in 2017, and how did we get there? In this talk for Red Oak's HPC Seminar, I look at the origins of cloud HPC, and how it has become mainstream through technologies like Amazon Web Services and OpenStack. I also offer a sneak preview of the 2017 UK national e-Infrastructure survey results, and some thoughts about what's next in cloud HPC, from hyperscale providers to the momentum behind container technologies from Docker and the Open Container Initiative.
Imagining Mars University - Universities UK 2017 conferenceMartin Hamilton

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.

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
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.

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.

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.
