The University Fernando Pessoa deployed the Sakai platform as their virtual learning environment to support both traditional and blended learning initiatives. Since 2004, usage of the platform has increased steadily, with over 60% of instructors and 67% of students using it across over 400 courses by 2007. Features like assignments, resources, and project areas saw the most use. The university aims to continue improving the platform while shifting focus more toward learner-centered strategies and integrating it further into their systems and processes.

An analysis of Teachers’ comments about the advantages and issues of improving the use of digital textbooks in Pilot Schools
The purpose of this research is to identify the advantages and issues of improving the use of digital textbooks in schools. For this objective, an online questionnaire was conducted to 134 representative teachers (Director or Head Teacher) of digital textbook pilot schools (elementary and middle schools) in South Korea during October 2015, and 119 teachers responded. The questionnaire contained 5 open-ended questions about the advantages and issues of improving the digital textbooks, classes using digital textbooks and managing the digital textbook pilot school. Results of the content analysis of the comments were categorized into 4 topics (development of students, digital textbook’s contents, digital textbook’s function, change of instruction). Each of the 4 topics included comments involving advantages and improvements.
Though there were comments about digital textbooks’ side effects such as distractibility and eyestrain to students, positive feedback regarding the implement of students’ concentration, interest and self-directed learning attitudes outweighed the negative comments. Also, there were affirmative comments about the variety and volume of digital textbook contents and voices demanding more richness and high quality contents. In addition, there were positive and negative comments about digital textbook’s functions such as search, exam, note, etc.. Some of the comments were not focused on digital textbook’s functions and instead focused on keywords such as LMS (Learning Management System), function of control students’ PC, cloud platform. Pilot school teachers commented about diversification of in-class digital textbook usage (Flipped learning, Collaboration learning, Personalized learning, etc.) and preparation (class design, lesson study, etc.).

This presentation summarises the headline findings from the UCISA 2016 Survey of Technology Enhanced Learning, which tracks developments in the use of learning technologies across the UK higher education sector. In this year's Survey, special attention was directed to open learning activities, ranging from open course provision to badges and open accreditation methods for staff development. The Survey question-set also addressed learner analytics in greater depth than in past Surveys, with a focus on the different types of tool-sets which institutions are using and their deployment across courses. Respondents were invited to comment on how their institution is making use of analytics to evaluate the impact of TEL tools on the student learning experience and what this means for academic practice.
OERs and MOOCs – the Romanian experience Diana Andone
OERs and MOOCs – the Romanian experience paper, authors Radu Vasiu, Diana Andone, presented at International Conference on Web & Open Access to Learning, 24-27 November 2014, Dubai, UEA.
Using Open Educational Resources (OER) provides opportunities for collaboration both in the classroom and beyond. Started in 2008 and gathering momentum over the past two years, now an online phenomenon, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) reunite different perspectives over a globalized online learning. The paper analyses the use of OER and MOOCs in different study cases in Romanian universities. Several OER initiatives resulted from the over 1000 academia involved in the DidaTec lifelong learning and training for higher education teachers in the technical sciences and engineering field as a training course for university professors in 12 universities, within the aim of improving the use of ICT in higher education. Four universities from Romania started a Romanian MOOC environment, the UniCampus, which provides free access to valuable education in Romanian language, presented by well-known professors. The evaluation and quality assurance challenges of the Unicampus are mainly due to the restrictive educational setting in Romania. Two study cases on blending MOOCs in traditional higher education courses at undergraduate and Master level are also analysed from the impact on students’ motivation. Integrating MOOCs in blended learning empower students with new abilities and requires a new and open teacher model.
This paper is a report on a exploratory design research of educational intervention conducted on a public institute of education and technology. The institution of 3,000 students is an important regional educator in Sao Francisco Valley, which is known as one of the poorest areas in Brazil. There are remarkable problems of dropout rates in the school. The educational intervention presented here offers a new strategy to mitigate dropout rates by re-designing teaching of computer programming courses on the basis of a student-centered approach with emphasis on guided participation and project-based learning. The hypothesis is that these methods engage and motivate learners, and empower the learning community to support studying, in a more efficient way.

Pathways to Learning: Open Collaboration to Support the Online Pivot Robert Farrow
This presentation reports results of a recent open education research collaboration between The African Council for Distance Education and The Open University (UK). Pathways to Learning: new approaches in higher education (OpenLearn, 2020a) hosted two free professional development programmes for university lecturers, instructional designers, professional staff, and managers who share responsibility for providing quality distance and online learning.
• A Teacher Educator programme, Skills for 21st Century Learning and Teaching (OpenLearn, 2020b)
• A Tertiary Educator programme, Take Your Teaching Online (OpenLearn, 2020c)
The courses ran over six weeks between 13th July and 20th August, 2020, and was contextualized by a rapid rollout of online learning during the Coronavirus pandemic. The programmes combined a course of study using OER materials with supplementary activities including a total of 12 webinars and interactive events alongside use of new platforms created by The Open University’s Institute of Educational Technology: nQuire (Herodotou et al., 2018) and Our Journey (Coughlan et al., 2019).
Key findings:
• The pandemic led to a substantial shift in teaching across Africa and a requirement to better understand and gain experience of online learning. Change is likely to persist post-pandemic, although infrastructure and cultural barriers are reported.
• The project surveys, interviews and the data generated through interactions that occurred in the programmes explores challenges and opportunities for online and blended learning across the African continent and globally.
• The evaluation data provides evidence that the programmes led to important understanding of course design and confidence in online facilitation for a large majority of those who took part in them.
• There is evidence that the programmes built confidence, particularly through the experiences of these educators themselves learning online with well-designed materials, and engaging with platforms and experts.
• There is evidence that each of the elements and activities were appreciated by some learners. The open courses were seen as most useful alongside some webinars. Community events and forums added substantial value to these.
• The flexibility offered in the programmes led to different behaviours. Many aimed to complete all the available activities despite time pressures and other barriers. Some were unable to attend live events so recordings were appreciated.
• Given the courses were free to join and many educators faced barriers and pressures, retention figures were very positive with around 66% of those who took part in the first week completing the rest of these programmes.
• Assessment, Open Educational Resources (OER), and understanding of technologies that can be used for online learning and learning design were areas that learners reported as being particularly valuable.

A Sala de Aula como um espaço de oportunidade num tempo pós pandémicoLuis Borges Gouveia
Vivemos uma época de uso e exploração acelerada do digital em todos os setores da atividade humana. A pandemia e as suas circunstâncias serviram para ancorar o que de mais profundo o digital pode oferecer: a rutura das noções tradicionais de tempo e espaço.
O contexto atual é de transição, confrontando velhas práticas com as suas limitações e encontrando novos caminhos de aplicação. Isso leva a um ambiente aberto e fértil para inúmeras inovaçõescom capacidade de transformar práticas antigas.
A sala de aula não é exceção e tanto podem agora novas práticas baseadas em plataformas digitais serem transportadas para esse espaço físico e coletivo onde se ensina e se aprende em conjunto, como se pode valorizar mais, as oportunidades de colaboração e atenção conjunta proporcionadas por estarmos a um mesmo tempo, num mesmo espaço.
Nesse cenário, existem desafios e necessidades suficientes para manter o mundo centrado na atividade humana e nas pessoas, discutindo o papel da escola, da sala de aula e dos professores, num contexto de um mundo em transformação (digital e não só).

Vivemos um tempo digital. Aprender, trabalhar e até viver está cada vez mais influenciado pela nossa capacidade de o fazer, aproveitando as oportunidades que computadores e redes nos proporcionam para o fazer mais rápido, mais barato e com mais eficiência. A Internet enquanto infraestrutura que proporciona a troca mais fácil, rápida e barata de dados, veio permitir o desenvolvimento de aplicações e novas formas de interação entre pessoas e organizações e a uma escala global.
Mudou o mundo e mudou a forma como nós nos vemos enquanto pessoas, comunidades e organizações e afeta também a nossa perceção local, nacional, regional e global. Mas e cada um de nós? Como nos preparamos a nós e às próximas gerações para estes desafios? A plataforma digital designada por Sistema Esfera Digital proporciona um importante suporte para entrar nestes novos tempos, facilitando a gestão da informação no contexto da educação inclusiva

Emerging alternatives to leadership and governance in a digital ecosystemLuis Borges Gouveia
The last decade brings us a quite global, complex and complete digital ecosystem, the so called VUCA world were volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity is a common setting for any organization. Digital data and information, appliances, information artifacts and any sort of products and applications emerge, more connective due to its digital nature. Even considering different contexts, almost any economic sector, social or work setting was affected by a common digital base. Thus, whatever perspective that we can take on, this digital base made some sort of impact both in the way we work, and organize ourselves. It also alters the ways we interact and support human relationships both as individuals and as organizations.
It is expected that such a digital ecosystem enhances and transforms hard skills related with information and communication technologies and the same with information based skills. Not so clear, the same happens to soft skills and the need to address new challenges in how we deal with human activity. In particular, concerning leadership and governance, there is a need to discuss emerging alternatives in a digital ecosystem.
O lugar da leitura como espaço de convergência entre o real e o digitalLuis Borges Gouveia
O digital e o modo como este se apropriou do espaço de leitura é atualmente aceite por todos. De facto, lê-se (e escreve-se) cada vez mais, mas em sequências curtas e de forma não estruturada. Neste contexto, a biblioteca enquanto oferta de espaço de leitura deve ser reinventada de modo a aprofundar os tempos e os ritmos de leitura que proporcionem um portal para o encontro do leitor consigo próprio e lhe permita a expansão das narrativas pelo seu próprio intelecto e pensamento (â imagem de um ouvinte e observador, daquilo que o rodeia).
Esta proposta de valor para a biblioteca tem potencial para reinventar a biblioteca física e para estender as funcionalidades da biblioteca digital para além da gestão do catálogo e do acesso aos textos, com os naturais benefícios de lidar com o excesso de informação e disrupção das restrições de tempo e espaço (importantes, mas vistos aqui apenas como parte do real potencial).
A apresentação partilha uma breve contribuição para um relacionamento entre leitura, o livro a biblioteca (digital ou não) tendo por base um confessado estatuto de amante de livros e da leitura.

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.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
