Connected Cities Summit
O futuro da infra-estrutura brasileira
Estima-se que até 2050, quase 90% da população brasileira estará vivendo em grandes centros urbanos, recorrendo em maior complexidades para o desenvolvimento e o planejamento das principais cidades brasileiras. Questões relacionadas a poluição, mobilidade urbana, integração e comunicação, que já afetam as grandes cidades no país, se tornarão desafios para o planejamento por parte das autoridades locais. O Reino Unido é mundialmente reconhecido por apoiar e investir em pesquisas sobre desenvolvimento urbano e cidades do futuro e promover tecnologias e inovação em sistemas de transporte inteligentes.
Assim, como parte do GREAT Britain House, o Connected Cities Summit, realizado em São Paulo, trará especialistas e autoridades britânicas e brasileiras, do setores público, privado e da academia, para discutir essas questões de desenvolvimento e mobilidade urbanos. O principal objetivo é demonstrar a experiência britânica em planejamento e em tecnologias, compartilhando as lições aprendidas ao vencer os desafios urbanos comuns, e como essas soluções podem ser aplicadas à realidade das cidades brasileiras.
Estos períodos se dieron en el correr del siglo XVII trayendo como finalidad dar a conocer todos los diversos aspectos que trajeron junto a el a lo largo de la era de estos aspectos.
Se espera a través de la investigación presentada cumplir con todos los objetivos planteados por los alumnos con el fin de lograr el desarrollos de los puntos a tratar.

WEBINAR: Joining the "buzz": the role of social media in raising research vi...HELIGLIASA
Joining the ‘buzz’ : the role of social media in raising research visibility: Traditional bibliometric methods of evaluating academic research, such as journal impact factors and article citations, have been supplemented in the past 5-10 years by the development of altmetrics (alternative metrics/article level metrics). Altmetrics measures aspects of the impact of a work, such as references in data and knowledge bases, article views, downloads and mentions in social media and news media.
This webinar (based on a presentation of the same name at the LIASA conference on 24th September 2014) gives a brief background to altmetrics and demonstrates how Rhodes University, Grahamstown, librarians are using social media to raise the visibility of the research output of their institution.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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.

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. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. • No Information Literacy policy, framework or
guidelines
• Every subject librarian teaches according to
own rules
• Own experiences
• Requirements from faculties and departments
• Until there is a change from Higher Levels we
have to do as best as we can, although it is not
ideal!
3. One exception: Health Sciences
• E.g. Nursing : embedded in course
• First year :Learn about the library
– Learn about journals (What’s in a jnl? How to find a jnl, cite a journal)
– Assessment by exercise (Scoring Rubric)
• Second year: Research question
– Mini literature review
– How to use databases
– Keywords, themes, Boolean, limits
– LibGuide – how to write a literature review
• Third year : How to find case reports
– Plagiarism (Oral scoring Rubric)
• Fourth year : evidence-based practice
– Systematic review
4. Information Literacy is ...
"the adoption of appropriate
information behaviour to
identify, through whatever
channel or medium, information
well fitted to information needs,
leading to wise and ethical use of
information in society." (Webber
and Johnston)
(Bent, M., & Stubbings, R. 2011. SCONUL Seven Pillars model)

6. • in providing access to collections and services that
directly support the academic and research priorities of
the university;
• ensuring that the Libraries are adequately providing
core services to faculty and students;
• positioning the Libraries to provide new services
supporting the emerging teaching, learning and research
needs of the university community and its various
constituents;
• continuously assessing services to identify those no
longer valued by users or that have become redundant or
obsolete
PURPOSE
The purpose of the UCT Libraries is to support the university’s strategic goal of
becoming a distinguished institution by providing the means for discovery, pursuit
and creation of new knowledge:
7. With all this in mind we decided to arrange a workshop
– Librarian as Teacher
• We had one in 2010 with Jeff Jawitz – it was time to do another one
• 2016 Internal workshop
• Started with a session on Theory about Teaching and Learning
• Share your experiences about a lesson
• How do you plan a 45 – 90 minute lesson?
• How do you know you were effective?
• Ideas and suggestions for improving lectures/lessons, based on
experiences.
8. We divided comments
into 3 categories:
Share your experiences about a lesson
• What does not work at all?
• What works well?
• Lessons learnt?
9. What does not work?
(What is a nightmare?)
• Lack of IT/digital literacy training
• Engagement with library terminology
• Non-interest of students, either they feel they know everything, or they are
overloaded with work
• Bored, playing with mobile phones, coming late
• Talking while presentation is going on
• Not enough time /not understanding the subject matter
• Library instruction is not important
• Older returning students
• Not getting proper information from lecturer about group attending
• Poor academic literacy
• Different levels of experience
• Poor educational background
• Silence
• Engaging distance learners through technology
10. What works well?
• Asking students to introduce themselves and their interest
• One-on-one sessions – individual attention
• Self-confidence of presenter (even if you are acting!)
• Small groups, simple language, adapting to abilities of group, being
versatile
• Given the time slot by the academic, having his involvement and
engagement
• Mix of theory and hands-on
• Giving talks in between sessions
• Timing – if an assignment essay, thesis , literature review is due!
Alignment with course
• Team work
• Using examples from their own experiences,
• Providing material
• Summarising, as we go along
11. Lessons learnt
• Using graphs, quizzes, fun
• Attend class sessions BEFORE library training, introduce yourself,
acquaint yourself with the course content, get onto their VULA
sites, send out material, adapt blended learning or flipped
classroom approach
• Ask students to introduce themselves and tell you a little more
about themselves, interests, themes, topics (keep it academic)
• Small groups, one-on-one, practical
• Have a plan, but be flexible
• Give opportunities to learn at own pace and time
• Less is more!
• Let them leave with having found one article that is important to
them
• Use feedback strategy, to improve sessions
12. • How do you plan a 45 – 90 minute lesson?
– What are the objectives?
– It is a challenge! Technology available?
– How much time do we have ? : 45 minutes : no hands-on, 90 minutes : hands-on
– Identify level : UG, PG, senior students?
– Ensure whether we are expected to “facilitate” or to “teach”?
– Stay in contact with academic/academic department
– What are other expectations?
– Which tools do we have available? Do we have space and time to repeat for improved
results?
– Best to involve lecturer him/herself
– H/S uses teaching team
– Be flexible
– Use humor, images, animation
– Reinforce, use “well-done” often,
– Find out whether they know what they want
– Student engagement, use LibCal for engagement
– Use relevant examples with narratives (prepared)
– Follow up (Libguides)
– Exercise, quiz included
– Make slides available (Vula)
– Identify students who “don’t get it”
– Improvement possibilities
– HS experience : involved in their essay writing, in evaluation, Humanities : involvement in
their essays
– We (librarians) are often asked to train, do we actually offer as well?
13. Some of the comments after the workshop
• Very helpful, thank you for sharing your knowledge with your colleagues
• Should be a full day – the exercises were very helpful
• A very useful workshop indeed. Very relevant to what I am involved in. As
discussed in the workshop, a compulsory Info Literacy course 101 for all
students
• The workshop was very useful, I think next time more time should be
allocated
• It should be an ongoing workshop. I found that it actually gave me
• great support in the sense that you learn from other librarians’ challenges,
what is useful, etc. I have taken away a lot of basic teaching styles etc., I
would love to learn more about implementing them
• Sharing presentations with one another as librarians to see if we are on
the right track. Thank you – well thought through and much needed
• More training regarding teaching, how to better prepare, conduct a
session very well structured with theory and practical interspersed. The
personal experiences very enlightening, so impressed with my colleagues
14. • What we have done in the last 3 years without that elusive policy:
• Created Libguides
• Created 11 basic How-to-videos
• Created quizzes
• ….and plan to do many more in line with UCT’s Strategic Goals:
• Bibliometric Tools
• Open Access Policy and self-publishing
• Research Data Management
• Improving digital literacy
• Get involved in the Blended Learning Initiatives
