Degree Apprenticeships Launch to Employers
Introduction for employers on the Aston University Degree Apprenticeship in Digital and Technology Solutions.
TLC2016 - The use of Collaborate in schools in Northern Ireland – Needs Must!
The document discusses the use of Collaborate, an online collaboration tool, in schools in Northern Ireland. It notes that Collaborate is available to over 20,000 adult users through the Education Network for Northern Ireland. The education minister announced a new contract that will provide schools greater flexibility and access to online resources. However, getting teachers to adopt new technologies like Collaborate poses challenges to the existing culture and practices. Developing structured partnerships between schools helped encourage use of Collaborate for shared education projects. Face-to-face interactions via Collaborate helped build understanding between students from different communities. Principal support was also key to the success of these online collaboration initiatives.

Since 2014, Nossal High School has run a program of Digital Delivery Days where students are asked to remain at home and classes are delivered entirely via Blackboard for duration of the day. This year we have focused on the use of Collaborate Ultra for working with our students through their course areas on Blackboard. We have also been investigating solutions for encouraging classrooms to default to team-based learning activities, away from centralised AV (projectors and whiteboards) and believe Blackboard Collaborate Ultra may be able to provide us with a feasible alternative.
This presentation will report on the effectiveness of using Collaborate Ultra within our Digital Delivery setting and also on the early stages of replacing centralised AV within our classrooms.

Debbie Williams and Geoff Evans will explain how they use Blackboard Learn as a basis for Blended Learning. All the students are issued with an iPad Mini, and this, combined with the Blackboard Learn platform, provide the basis for all of the teaching and learning at the campus.
We will:
• Present how our courses are set up in Blackboard Learn
• Explain the Use of Grade Centre
• Demonstrate the use of Blackboard Learn in and out of class
• Explain the use of video
Our journey with the technology is enabling some teachers to flip their classrooms. We will explain how far this has progressed and the potential benefits and pitfalls for teachers of international students.

The document describes an iterative process of developing an authentic mobile learning task to help international students develop research skills. In the task, students work in groups to create "suburb profile" blogs recommending suburbs for other international students to live in. The task was improved by adding a requirement for students to visit and collect information about their chosen suburb using the Blackboard Mobile app. This enhanced engagement and led to higher quality blog outcomes by incorporating first-hand experiences into their research. The mobile task design facilitated real-time teacher feedback and interaction between remote teacher and student groups. Future iterations could address bandwidth issues and further develop the use of literature in the task.

Intentional Course Design for Blended Learning
1. The document provides guidance on building an activity framework to map out the organization, learning outcomes, and assessments of a course.
2. It instructs the user to identify topics, learning outcomes, activities, and measurements on sticky notes and organize them visually.
3. The second part discusses considerations for redesigning learning activities for an online environment, such as which activities transfer well and which need redesign, as well as content order and how students will demonstrate learning.
Blended Learning
Blended learning combines traditional face-to-face classroom methods with online activities and digital tools. It replaces some in-person seat time and activities with purposefully planned online equivalents. Instructors choose methods that suit each activity best to create flexible, accessible learning that leverages the strengths of in-person and online methods. Blended learning is not an opportunity for less work or involvement, but can increase student learning through improved pedagogy, greater access and flexibility, and more cost-effective education when implemented effectively. It allows for human interaction and participation at each learner's convenience across physical and digital spaces.
What does good course design look like to you - Alex Wu, Blackboard
Course design is undoubtedly a critical element of any online or blended learning environment. As academics and instructional designers, we often associate course design with teaching and learning outcomes that are course- and program-specific and are aligned specifically to graduate attributes or goals. In this session, we will instead take a deconstructive approach to analyse each of the main tool groups within Blackboard Learn and Collaborate, and showcase some unique tool deployment use-cases from clients around the globe. We will also touch on using the same tools in research and grant management to discuss how both teaching and research departments could cross benefit from using the same platform within an institution.
E portfolio
This document discusses ePortfolios created by students at Upstate College of Health Professions. It explains that ePortfolios allow students to showcase their work, growth, and reflections over time. Students can include classwork, projects, presentations, feedback and anything else that defines them as health professionals. The document recommends using Google Sites to create ePortfolios as it is free and flexible. It provides examples of student ePortfolios and step-by-step instructions for setting up an ePortfolio on Google Sites.
Improving 180 Blackboard Sites in 180 Days - Christian King & Sandra Thwaites...
At many universities, the Blackboard subject site is the primary interface for the student learning experience. If the site is poorly organised, students do not know how to navigate the learning experience, such as when to engage with what content. If assessment criteria are minimally indicated, the quality of submissions suffers. If no tools are used to foster interaction, the learning experience becomes isolating. Conversely, when Bb sites are effectively designed and maintained, the quality of the student learning experience tends to be high. The quality of Bb sites varies across universities and within programs of study. Students who experience a well-designed site in their first semesters come to expect this standard in subsequent semesters.
Bond University thereby undertook a whole-of-university strategic priority project to improve 180 Bb subject sites in 180 days. Associate Deans (Learning & Teaching) in each faculty selected the sites. The initial quality of the sites varied, with many assessed as initially high quality, meaning that improvement meant moving from strength to strength and focusing on elements such as increasing elements of technology enhanced learning. The co-facilitators of this presentation are the academic developers who worked one-on-one with each of the participating academics. Therefore, from their perspectives, the key takeaways for attending delegates will be:
- Identification of challenges and stumbling blocks, as well as success strategies
- Checklists and professional development materials
- Illustration of before and after improvements as exemplars
- Ideas for increasing elements of technology enhanced learning
- Templates for emails, announcements and other communications

The presentation will outline the systematic use of the Blackboard Wiki tool, for a large class (120) consisting of external and internal students, to engage in Group work with success. The added benefit was an enhanced student capacity to engage with digital media in their professional role. This UQ post-graduate course has received annual teaching awards which have reflected high student satisfaction in the evaluations.
Our case study illustrates use of the Wiki tool to enable collaboration within a group of 6 (three from internal and 3 from external mode) to write a formal electronic Report on a national health system that could be used by that government to strengthen its health system.
In a practical sense, participants will be able to access the framework of assessment, the tool set up and the marking criteria, along with student samples and student evaluation.
Learning Analytics and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning - an obvious ...
The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) essentially advocates for a research approach to be applied to the improvement of learning and teaching. It encourages teachers to reflect in a scholarly way on their teaching practice and at the more advanced level to undertake research on teaching practice and curriculum. Learning analytics has the potential to provide data on elements of the teaching process which have to date been difficult to measure particularly for the broader cohort of teachers.
This presentation will draw attention to the connection between SoTL and learning analytics and prompt participants to think about how learning analytics can be used in a wider context to contribute to changes in teaching design and practice.
Adventures in agile curriculum design
This document discusses experiments using Agile principles and methods for curriculum design at the Open University. It found that Agile approaches can build happy teams, enhance output quality, prioritize learner needs, and potentially improve student retention and progression. However, culture shock and risks to quality must be managed. The key takeaways are to define clear objectives, adopt Agile incrementally, focus on values before methods, continuously review and improve processes, and accept that "done is better than perfect".
Innovating in the MOOC Space - Karin Pfister - Charles Darwin University
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have gained momentum in recent years and offer a new opportunity for interaction with potential university students. While MOOCs have been seen as a disruptive force for higher education, they have provided spaces to explore innovative approaches and emerging technologies that can then be integrated into regular university course content. Designing courses that are not aligned with any accreditation requirements has
allowed the flexibility to creatively experiment and push boundaries. Using Blackboard’s Open Education platform, Charles Darwin University has developed and delivered 3 MOOCs showcasing creative approaches to otherwise traditional course content.
This presentation will showcase CDU’s processes, innovative approaches, and lessons learnt. As a bonus, you will also see inside the Memory MOOC’s visually stunning “Memory Palace” and see how learning Accounting was brought to life through interactive video and branching scenarios in the “Who’s Counting” MOOC.

Presenter: Brian Irwin
Organisation: Sheffield Hallam University
Description: In 2013 Sheffield Hallam University approved a set of minimum expectations which outlined what should be on each Blackboard course. In preparation for these expectations becoming policy in 2015, we hired graduate interns to review every taught module (over 3000) and create reports about how well they meet the expectations.
During this session we will explain how the minimum expectations were developed. We will describe the review process, highlighting challenges faced and providing recommendations for others. We will share some high level findings of the reviews and example anonymised reports at different levels (e.g module, departmental, faculty). Finally we will explain how we are using the reviews to inform staff development and the feedback we have gotten on the reviews so far.
TLC2016 - Data for Students - A student-centred approach to analytics in Learn
Presenter: Ross Ward
Organisation: The University of Edinburgh
Description: Learning analytics is primarily focused on staff accessing student data to gauge performance, predict student outcomes, and make interventions where necessary. This session will provide an overview of the work that the University has done in researching and developing a bespoke learning analytics building block called, ‘Data for Students’ that allows students to access information about their course - using click counts and comparison of grades against the cohort. The session will report on the outputs of our initial pilot studies and feedback from staff and students who have used the tool.
Blending the Tutor Lounge: using Blackboard to develop tutors - Sonya McIlroy...
At Academic Colleges Group Tertiary & Careers (TCG), we recognise the importance of student-centred, innovative classes across a wide variety of vocational programmes. Therefore, there has been concerted effort put into providing engaging lessons in a blended environment.
This presentation will be of interest to those who are supporting tutors to deliver engaging lessons and implementing change in methodology to include technology in a face to face environment. During our session, we will unpack the threefold functions of the Tutor Lounge as described above, and share our experiences of tutor uptake. We will give participants the opportunity to see how we structured our development area in Blackboard, as well as ask questions and discuss strategies to overcome/implement possible issues.
Link into your professional network - Jisc Digifest 2016
This session will explore how helping teachers to build confidence in their own technical and professional networking skills, showing teachers how to use and become proficient with LinkedIn and how to transfer those skills to students can lead to employment for students.
The session will show case the Learning Futures/Education and Training Foundation funded resources for the FE and skills sector that its is anticipated may be embedded into a future Jisc service that is currently in the R&D phase.

TLC2016 - Reviewing Blackboard sites to raise minimum engagment across the in...
Presenter: Brian Irwin
Organisation: Sheffield Hallam University
Description: In 2013 Sheffield Hallam University approved a set of minimum expectations which outlined what should be on each Blackboard course. In preparation for these expectations becoming policy in 2015, we hired graduate interns to review every taught module (over 3000) and create reports about how well they meet the expectations.
During this session we will explain how the minimum expectations were developed. We will describe the review process, highlighting challenges faced and providing recommendations for others. We will share some high level findings of the reviews and example anonymised reports at different levels (e.g module, departmental, faculty). Finally we will explain how we are using the reviews to inform staff development and the feedback we have gotten on the reviews so far.

Skills for Prosperity: Using OER to support nationwide change in Kenya
As a key pathway to improving access to higher education in Kenya, the development and enhancement of online education has been prioritised by the country’s government and is reflected in the country’s strategic plans, including the National Education Sector’s Strategic Plan 2018-22. To facilitate this development and enhancement, studies have suggested capacity building for university staff and development of their digital competencies.
To this end, a nationwide capacity development programme (Digital Education for Universities) was designed and delivered to 254 selected educators, managers and support staff in Kenyan universities as a part of the Skills for Prosperity Kenya programme. The initiative ran across 37 public universities and was based on an existing openly licensed course “Take Your Teaching Online”, which was reused, repurposed and localised to offer accessible online professional development.
This presentation presents findings from a mixed-methods evaluative study of the initiative, informed by data from a post-training survey (n=120), semi-structured interviews with 30 participants and focus groups with four university teams 15-18 months after the training. The study identified impacts of this OER on the digital competencies and practices of three groups of staff – educators, managers and support staff. It also identified areas in which substantial change has already emerged as a result of the course.

A presentation to the English Australia Ed Tech Symposium - Plenary Address.
Abstract: Those institutions that have pivoted rapidly from teaching face-to face to teaching fully online have learned many lessons over the last 18 months, both good and bad. But for some, this has been nothing new, instead it’s simply been business as usual. We have seen that those who fared better have well established frameworks in place to mediate their technology-enhanced learning offerings. That is, they have recognised processes that define how they translate what they have in policy, procedures and planning into practice. Such a framework can be found within a number of quality tools, that are designed to provide institutions with clear guidelines as to what need to be in place to facilitate a robust and consistent approach to teaching with technology. Once present, it makes it easier to undertake online teaching that does more than just mimic face-to-face practice, providing a robust platform to allow innovative pedagogies to thrive. Typically, this means the online learning has, or can become far more, active, collaborative and authentic. This presentation with share some of the things that have been observed across the higher education sector over the last 18 moths that we can all learn from.Research Restructure within HE - Morag Easton

Tools for Reflective Practice
The document discusses the use of diaries and stories for reflective practice. It notes that diaries have long been used as a private space for thoughts, emotions, and feelings, and can help people make sense of important life events by reflecting on them. The document presents exercises for diary reflection on work events, and emphasizes that reflective practice involves deep critical thought about one's work leading to plans for improvement. Challenges to reflection are also outlined, and it is noted that stories are a product of reflection and can be used to share lessons learned from successes and mistakes.
Professional Artefact
An artefact is a standalone piece of evidence from professional practice that contains a meaningful message and reflects opinions. It provides a deeper understanding of an activity and is worthy of documentation. Developing an artefact involves professional inquiry to translate what has been learned into a presentation that clearly communicates findings to the intended audience using appropriate formats and production standards.

Participants can develop their knowledge through content modules and work-based projects while demonstrating their learning through evidence and reflection. The degree title can be negotiated to reflect their area of knowledge or experience, such as health information management.
Ethics
The document discusses several ethical issues that may arise when conducting research, including attributing quotes fairly, avoiding harming participants, obtaining informed consent, ensuring voluntary participation, and maintaining participant confidentiality and privacy. It provides examples of topics like interviewing students about physical activity and eating disorders that require careful consideration of these ethical principles. The document examines questions researchers should ask themselves regarding social benefits, potential harms, consent, and data handling when designing and carrying out a study.
Surveys
The document discusses designing a survey to investigate the hypothesis that access to healthy diets ensures well-being and good performance ability among members of the Twinkletoes Dance Company. It establishes the research aims and objectives, provides examples of survey question types and a draft survey with questions about nutrition sources, access, and barriers. The survey will be piloted and distributed to sample members to investigate nutrition information and resources.
Observation
The document discusses different types of observation methods used in research. It describes covert and overt observation, as well as participant and non-participant observation. It notes some of the ethical issues involved in covert observation. It also discusses the importance of gaining acceptance and trust when using participant observation methods.
Research overview
The document outlines the steps to plan a research project on the impact of nutrition on health and performance. It discusses establishing research aims and objectives, determining appropriate data types, choosing research tools, identifying participants, and creating a timeline. The research aims to assess links between nutrition and performance for dancers by exploring their diets, health, awareness of nutrition, and whether nutrition impacts their ability to perform. Both qualitative and quantitative data could be collected through surveys, observations, interviews, and focus groups. The document evaluates different tools and considerations for ensuring reliable, representative, and objective research.
Inspire Topic
This document provides guidance on inspiring a research topic by making connections between ideas from scenes, conversations, and the work of past researchers ("shoulders of giants"). It suggests mapping these ideas and asking questions to develop a topic in a chosen professional or public space that connects to areas like nutrition, well-being, history, or classical figures like Dionysius and Bacchus. The topic should then be planned and developed further.
Learning Diary
The document provides guidance on maintaining a learning diary or log. It explains that a learning diary is a personal record of an individual's work-based learning experiences, reflections, and skills development. It should not just describe what was done but also reflect on what was learned, how future experiences could be improved, and how new knowledge will be applied. The document offers examples of learning experiences to record and questions to consider when writing entries, such as discussing what went well or poorly and how the individual can develop. Regular, dated entries help identify learning patterns over time. Maintaining a learning diary with structured reflection can help facilitate positive changes in an individual's knowledge and skills.
Choosing A Topic
This document discusses choosing a research topic and outlines some potential topics related to dance performance. It mentions that research aims to advance professional practice in a systematic way and provide deeper understanding. Some example topics related to dance performance phenomena include the corps, director/choreographer, music, audience, and lighting. The document also suggests exploring how changing one or more of these variables could impact whether a show is good or bad. Additional potential topics touched on include concepts, issues, contexts, ethnicity, quality, gender, teamwork, finances, warm-ups, alcohol, policies, and theorists.
Distributed Leadership
Suggesting a link between distributed leadership and academic attainment in a primary school located in area of deprivation
Creativity
This document discusses the importance of curiosity and resolve in overcoming obstacles to learning. It encourages the reader to draw a mind map connecting concepts, contexts and issues to arrive at a research question. The mind map helps narrow a broad topic into a focused research question.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
