Data Literacy
ABSTRACT
In our increasingly data-driven society, data literacy is an important civic skill which we should be developing in our society. Data is slowly but steadily forcing their way into the societies. Data literacy may seem less technical than either Computer Science or any other fields. Still we need to envisage a wide variety of tools for accessing, converting and manipulating data. These require to understand relational databases (like MS Access), data manipulation techniques, statistical software tools (like Minitab, SPSS, STATA and MS Excel) and data representation software tools (like MS PowerPoint and MS Excel). This seminar includes an introduction on data literacy, its inter-relationship with information literacy and statistical literacy. It also includes various steps for working with data followed by short demonstration of data analysis techniques by using the software STATA11.
Speaker: Jayanta Kr. Nayek

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
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.
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”.

Overview
3. • Remote sensing (RS) and aerial/ortho-photos: RS and aerial photos
can be used for (i) cartography and frame building, (ii) supporting field
work, (iii) crop estimation.
• Handheld GPS devices: supports field activities such as geo-referencing
plots, holding location, or measuring plot areas.
• Mobile data collection: Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI)
using smartphones, tablets).
• Remote data collection: Use of telephone and computers, such as
Computer assisted telephone interview (CATI) and internet such as
Computer assisted Self Interview (CASI or CAWI).
• Online dissemination of results: web pages, social media and other
electronic methods. Infographics and thematic GIS maps enhance
readability and comprehensibility of census results.
• Anonymization of micro-data: protocols, methods and tools are
available for a safe access to microdata. New opportunities for census
dissemination.
Examples of use of technology in the census
4. Computer Assisted Personal Interview
(CAPI) software allows recording
responses on a computer or tablet instead
of paper.
What is CAPI?
5. • Easier Survey Management
• Reduced variables costs
(No transport costs, no storage costs, no printing costs, no
data-entry costs)
• Reduced time from data collection to analysis
and reporting
• Higher quality data
(Enforced skip patterns, validation conditions, look-up
tables)
What are the advantages of CAPI?
6. Novel question types
Geo reference, photos, barcodes scanning (for national IDs)
Closer field monitoring
Export paradata for monitoring activities during
interviews (e.g. start & end time)
Almost real time export of microdata
Easier to implement changes to questionnaire
No need to send questionnaires back and forth to field
What are the advantages of CAPI?
7. High fixed cost
Can be reduced by sharing use with other
surveys
Requires more preparation time - programming
and testing questionnaire, procurement
Time savings on back-end from no data entry
compensates
Many times requires connectivity
Risks can be reduced by using 2 sim cards,
back-up paper questionnaires, etc.
Others: vulnerability to weather, batteries and
access to power for charging
What are disadvantages of CAPI?
8. Census and Survey Processing System (CSPro) Developed
by the US census bureau and funded primarily by USAID.

12. • The Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries
Development (MLFD) undertook an
randomized control trial (RCT) involving
600 livestock extension officers.
• CAPI allowed results to be available in less
than one month after baseline survey.
• MLFD looking for more opportunities to
expand data collection using CAPI.
Country Experience - Tanzania
13. • For the Agricultural Census 2009/2010 Mozambique
used CAPI combined with use of GPS.
• The CAPI/GPS was used for computer assisted data
collection and also to locate and measure the area of the
plots.
• INE Mozambique used Notebooks with CSPro
software. It was the first time this approach was used in
African countries.

Countries are increasingly
using IT technology in
agricultural censuses for:
data collection (CAPI,
CASI, CATI);
identification of location
for field operation of
enumerators (GPS);
online monitoring of the
progress in field
operations in real time.
Interviewer entered the data in the field at the time of the interview using CAPI software programs, installed on small notebook computer with ten-inch screens and long life batteries. The computers performed well, and proved easy to transport, use and recharge despite some difficult conditions;
A 3G modem connected to the computers was used by the field supervisors to transfer the data files to the central processing operation at the INE HQ. The HQ operation group received the data as an email attachment. In places where the technology 3G was available the process went very well, however, where there was no 3G service, the data transmission had to be delayed until the interviewers re-entered the service area.
