Ripple Effect: Faculty Redesign Through Course RedesignKenneth Ronkowitz
The Writing Initiative at Passaic County Community College has a primary goal of improving writing by redesigning more than 20 GenEd courses across disciplines as writing-intensive. An embedded component of the project is the use of technology by the faculty and students participating in the WI courses. A secondary goal is to expand the number of other instructors integrating technology into their courses – to start a ripple effect in the college community.
Presentation given at VIII Semana de Formação de Professores STHEM Brasil – Módulo 1, a virtual workshop run on 25 May 2021 by faculty from the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University, UK.

The Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy and Development (OLPD) will be a campus-wide leader in the use of technology to enhance students’ educational experiences, academic praxis, and intellectual pursuits.
To achieve this vision, we aim to co-develop a culture within OLPD that anticipates and embraces technological change and encourages the use of existing and emerging technologies to support innovation and constructive collaboration among students, faculty and staff.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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.
1. Wikiscuola Case study Giantommaso D’Astolto NEST project Alta ScuolaPolitecnica VII cycle
2. What is it? Collaborative wiki used by an Italian middle school in northern Italy The goal is to share experiences, ideas and knowledge and to interactively create teaching material
3. Homepage The homepage contains a simple explanation of how to use the tool On the left side we can see the structure of the website and on the top of the page we have a tab that shows the functionalities we can use At the bottom there is a list of comments left by registered members
4. How does it work? Students and teachers can work together to create shared content for future lectures The content is firstly organised by classes and then by subjects All the members can edit pages and upload video and documents, professors have also the role of moderator and support team for their pupils
5. IT tools Document uploader for material transfering Wikis for interactive collaboration Chat and forums for comment sharing
6. Strengths/1 The material is well organised, and the explanation on how to use the tool is comprehensible The overall impression for a web surfer is very catchy, thanks also to an appealing layout
7. Strengths/2 The idea of creating the content of future lectures with students is extremely innovative. Moreover a student that is involved in the preparation of the lesson should feel more stimulated to active participate to it Example of feedback that shows studentparticipation
8. Weaknesses Some users complains for browser incompatibility There are no tools for simultaneous interaction (such as video-audio conferences) Example of feedback about browser problems
9. Business model The service was conceived by the Italian school, which firstly used it for a single class (pilot experiment) It was developed thanks to the support of an organisation of experts (Centro Metid, Politecnico di Milano) Now the service has been expanded to the whole school and people need to sign up to become members
10. Conclusions and take-aways The idea seems to have had a great success, in terms of participation and commitment Since the tool has been developed for a single school, there is no need for scaling it down, it just takes some adjustment with respect to the institution that wants to use it The tool can be useful as a part of a bigger project that involves the use of other kinds of resources (such as videoconfences)
