Grouputer Virtual Workshops Go Beyond Web Conferencing
Grouputer is an advanced e-collaboration programs that accelerates and improves decision making and learning in local and distributed workshops, meetings, surveys and training.
The Grouputer application solves the problem of formulating and documenting complex plans in virtual workshops by combining standard web conferencing tools with GDSS (Group Decision Support System) tools in a single software application.
Customers describe Grouputer as “web conferencing on steroids" because it enables complex planning to be conducted in virtual workshops that would otherwise require lengthy and expensive face-to-face meetings.
While web conferencing tools enable information and expertise sharing in presentations, documents and the web, GDSS tools actively engage participants in collaborative critical thinking activities achieving better solutions, with buy in and commitment.
Ideas from team members are recorded in text and processed using problem solving and planning methods such as agenda setting, brainstorming, categorizing, prioritizing, evaluation and action planning.
Formatted reports document workshop output ready for immediate distribution. A Process Builder is available to template meeting methodologies and training programs for repeat use and corporate consistency.
According to Gartner, when web conferencing tools are combined with GDSS meeting performance is enhanced and there are fewer dysfunctional meetings.
Fortune 500 companies, Defence, and consultants use Grouputer in intensive planning projects in real time or at times convenient to participants.
Customer applications include business and process improvement, Six Sigma/Lean, risk and project management and strategy development for sales, marketing, HR, information technology and operations.
Grouputer offers program and application security and is available as a hosted service and perpetual licence.

Abstract:
Proficiency in using educational technology tools is becoming increasingly important for all instructors and librarians. The question is which tools to use and how to make them a meaningful part of students’ experiences in classrooms and at reference desks. Educators should also be able to make the most of educational technology when providing services to distance education students.
This presentation will show some of the major types of educational technology tools used at the university level including screen-capture software, citation management software, research tools, course management systems, podcasting, presentation software, and Second Life. The presenter will give an overview of what technology exists, how it is used, and why it is worthwhile. Students expect more multimedia instruction both online and in-person. By using these tools professors and librarians can provide instruction that is more vibrant and interactive without sacrificing content.
Systematic School-based Disability Screening: A Comparative Analysis of Forma...FHI 360
To investigate how schools and education systems are making efforts to screen and identify students with disabilities, the working group builds upon its previous inclusive education policy landscape analysis to examine and compare various approaches used in Cambodia, Ghana, India, Malawi, and South Africa. The aim of this work is to better understand (a) what forms of screening are used and what disability domains are screened for (e.g., vision, hearing, intellectual, socio-emotional, behavioral), (b) what happens once students are screened and how are teachers and caregivers informed and involved to ensure appropriate follow-up and targeted support, (c) what approaches are taken to ensure screening data is used to inform the services provided to children with disabilities?

Disability-responsive inclusive education policy and systems mappingFHI 360
Presented at CIES 2018, Mexico City.
The objective of the Education Equity Research Initiative’s Disability Task Team is to improve the availability and quality of data on the prevalence, access, and achievement of children with disabilities. To better understand how education systems are serving students with disabilities and what the impacts of those efforts are, the Task Team identified inclusive education approaches and outcomes as an important research priority, and established a dedicated working group pursuing research in this area. This paper presents the results of activities undertaken by this working group.
To investigate how education systems are including—and could better include—students with disabilities, the working group has undertaken a review of the disability-sensitive inclusive education policies and support systems available in a set of countries across both the global North and global South. The aims of these explorations are to better understand (a) what types of policies or systems features are common across selected countries and (b) how comprehensive policies (or a set of policies and systems) are in supporting inclusive education for children with disabilities within countries.
For each targeted country, members of the working group have conducted a review of available policy and systems information and, when possible, conducted interviews with country experts about existing policies. Using this information, members of the working group have mapped relevant policies and system structures, such as resource availability and inclusion of disability in data collection for school-age children, against a framework of policy and system characteristics, ultimately producing (a) a policy and systems mapping in Excel for focus countries and (b) a policy brief synthesizing findings from the mapping.
Empowering Communities to Transform and Modernize Schools: Kosovo Basic Educa...FHI 360
Now 15 years since its war with Serbia, Kosovo continues to rely on significant international aid to rebuild and modernize its infrastructure. As part of these efforts, USAID has funded FHI 360 to strengthen the Government of Kosovo’s institutional capacity in the education sector. At the inception of the Basic Education Program (BEP) in 2010, a majority of Kosovo schools were under-resourced and most classrooms consisted of little more than student desks arranged in rows. BEP’s Classroom Makeovers initiative involves a structured, school director-led process which emphasizes community participation and fosters the creation of classroom spaces designed to promote the use of learner-center pedagogical strategies focused on developing 21st century skills and competencies.
To prime a makeover, BEP provides schools with basic, low cost materials and supplies as well as a guide for parents and teachers to follow. Communities have provided, on average, through the contribution of labor and additional materials, over 70% of the value of classroom renovations. In complement to these newly designed classrooms, BEP provides a professional development course for teachers so they learn pedagogical techniques appropriate to these new classrooms.
As a means to promote and scale this initiative, BEP has established an innovative partnership with national television broadcaster RTK to design a series of Classroom Makeover television programs aired weekly across Kosovo. With each episode a new school classroom is transformed and unique student-centered learning activities are introduced across a range of subject areas. These activities, together with additional promotion through BEP’s active social media channels (Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr), have led to significant school and community engagement in municipalities throughout the country. While BEP has directly supported the transformation of 126 classrooms, an additional 235 classrooms have been transformed entirely by local communities. In notable reflection of community self-reliance and ownership, over 70% of classroom renovation costs have come directly from local schools and communities, leading former U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo, Christopher Dell, to describe this approach to community empowerment as a “model for development.”
In addition to collecting evidence of cost-share contributions, BEP monitors and documents the impact of the Classroom Makeover initiative BEP by collecting survey information on attitudes of teachers, students, and parents. At one school in Prizren for example, teachers have reported that not only were students in the renovated classroom were more engaged with their lessons, but their parents demonstrated greater interest in their children’s education.
BEP's approach to Classroom Makeovers and corresponding pedagogical training is a low-cost and scalable approach to modernizing schools and engaging communities that can easily be replicated in schools acros

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.

Editor's Notes
We are all indebted to the years and years of service, leadership, and passion NICHCY’s long-time director Suzanne Ripley has contributed to this work.. Thank you Suzanne! Suzanne now directs a new project, Family Support Center on Disabilities: Knowledge & Involvement Network (call them KIN for short!) which offers a centralized resource on the full range of options available to individuals with disabilities and their families. http://familysupportclearinghouse.org/Pages/Home.aspx
A Network of Technical Assistance and Dissemination Centers funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP)
A bit of contextual reference. NDC/NICHCY is funded out of the Department of Education > Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services (OSERS) (circled in red here) > Office of Special Education Programs (seen on next slide)
Here’s a schematic of OSERS, note that NDC is funded out of the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and is part of their technical assistance and dissemination (TA&D) network. OSEP receives Part D Discretionary money from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to fund technical assistance and dissemination centers loosely referred to as the Technical Assistance and Dissemination Network (TA&D). This group of 40-50 centers works collaboratively to coordinate their efforts to ensure states receive the most appropriate assistance possible without duplication of efforts, effectively and efficiently leveraging OSEP’s limited resources. These centers are each competitively awarded, most in five year cycles.
Our Search is a powerful and revolutionary new tool we’re rolling out in the new project period. From our search users are able to enter a keyword and our search engine will return results from projects across the TA&D network. To be clear, we’re not talking about products that individual centers are manually entering into a database, we’re talking their entire site’s content, web pages, PowerPoints, Word documents, Excel files, PDF’s etc. This essentially makes the National Dissemination Center’s Search Page the “Google” for TA&D! You can see in this screen shot a search for “rti” returns over 1,000 results. Note the “Content Source” section on the right hand side, here is an expandable list of centers across the TA&D Network that have information and resources on Response to Intervention. No surprise that the National Center on Response to Intervention returns the most results, followed by the PBIS site, IDEA Partnership, then our own, the Center on Instruction, and so on. (Note: in order to expand the “Content Source” and other boxes on the right hand side of the page, you’ll need to be working from within Internet Explorer or Firefox with IE Tab enabled.)
So how can we measure the effectiveness of this work? That’s where Web Analytics can help…
