The intellectual roots of the current conversation about student engagement can be traced to the
1984 Involvement in Learning report of the US Department of Education’s Study on the Conditions of
Excellence in Postsecondary Education. The Involvement report challenged faculty and institutions
to recognize and to leverage the importance of student “involvement” and motivation in the postsecondary experience. Over the past 26 years, the concept of student involvement has morphed
into efforts to foster student engagement: campuses and curricular content providers now strive to
develop and provide learning experiences and course materials that are “sticky” — that draw students in
and reinforce their motivation to learn. The panel session will highlight initiatives that have successfully
fostered student engagement, with particular attention to millennial learners
Continuing the inclusion discussion with middle school teams as we focus on collaboration, class reviews, and changing our teaching strategies and structures to include all students.
This is a curriculum and instruction plan developed by me, Dan Gutterud, through the coursework for Ed 6334 (Curriculum and Instruction) at Bemidji State University, where I am a graduate student seeking a Masters in Education degree.
My presentation from the ND Education Academy.
Many people think that we have a student learning problem in schools. I believe we have an adult learning problem. To truly increase student achievement it must start with the adults in the building. We must develop a culture of learning that begins with teachers and trickles down to students. In this session I will provide practical ideas that will help your district create a focus on learning.

SoTEL from the Start: Examining the Impact of Social Media on Community, Teac...Anita Zijdemans Boudreau
Presented at the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (ISSoTL) 2019
Faculty and students investigated the impact of social media on asynchronous and synchronous engagement in an online interprofessional PhD. The instructional design intentionally integrates the Scholarship of Technology Enhanced Learning (SoTEL) and Community of Inquiry (COI) framework. We evaluated community, teaching, and learning through course analytics; analysis of Social Presence in a SoTL-COI survey; and self-reported student perceptions. Partnering breaks down barriers between teachers and students. Results provide insights into teaching and learning within the virtual community. We present the instructional design framing the SoTEL inquiry, findings on asynchronous and synchronous engagement, and future directions.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
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.
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.

Our goal was to explore how our practice could be improved by
the development and implementation of an online community.
... we considered how the use of an online community
enhanced the experience of students in our teacher
education program.

students in meaningful online community
building that will contribute to their
achievement of course outcomes?
2. What, if anything, can we do to motivate
students to continue their participation in
professional online communities?
3. What motivates individuals to participate in
online professional learning networks?
