Join Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative director, and Veronica Diaz, ELI associate director, as they moderate this webinar with Cable Green, PhD, Director of Global Learning, Creative Commons. Cable Green, Director of Global Learning @ Creative Commons, will discuss how, if we are smart, we will use today's technical and legal tools to build and share high quality, affordable educational resources with everyone who wants to learn. The combined forces of digital content, the Internet and the effect of Moore's law push the cost of storing, replicating and distributing educational materials, once created, to near zero. Open licensing allows this content to be reused, revised, remixed and redistributed so others may localize, customize, translate, and (most important) collect and share open data on the effectiveness of the educational resources to continuously improve their quality. Cable will also discuss how open policies, once adopted, make sustainability a non-issue and ensure publicly funded educational resources are open educational resources.

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.

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”.
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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

14. In a flat world, the artists, the synthesizers of ideas will rule. And they will use web 2.0 software standards, and practices to distribute their ideas.
16. So how do we prepare students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that haven’t been invented, to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHWTLA8WecI
37. “Distance” is about geographic separation. “eLearning” is about leveraging the unique affordances of digital, networked technologies to support new ways of learning in new spaces. Online, Hybrid, Enhanced “eLearning”
39. Ongoing Online Learning Growth Over 96,600 students learn online each year Online FTE up more than 22% Hybrid FTE up more than 45% 11 percent (and growing) of community and technical college courses are fully online 35
40. Ongoing Online Learning Growth 45% of all CTC graduates earn 15 or more credits online or hybrid 23 colleges offer 86 different degrees and certificates online 16 colleges offer an AA degree online 36
48. Why is “Open” Important? Because when we cooperate and share, we all win – exponentially. Faculty have new choice when building learning spaces. …the more eyes on a problem, the greater chance for a solution. Affordability: students can’t afford textbooks Self-interest – good things happen when I share It’s a social justice issue: everyone has the right to access global knowledge.

56. Why do we Need Open Textbooks? 2005 GAO report: College textbook prices have risen at twice the rate of annual inflation over the last two decades http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d05806.pdf
57. Why do we Need Open Textbooks? The College Board reported that for the 2007 through 2008 academic years each student spent an estimated $805 to $1,229 on college books and supplies… http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/about/news_info/trends/trends_pricing_07.pdf
58. Why do we Need Open Textbooks? The gross margin on new college textbooks is currently 22.7 percent according to the National Association of College Stores. Products available in college stores are sold with a margin, as in any retail operation. Margin is the difference between cost and retail price, reflecting work required to bring products to market. http://www.nacs.org/public/research/margins.asp
65. Why so urgent? Consider One High Enrollment Course: English Composition I 37,226 enrollments / year X $100 textbook = $3.7 Million + (cost to students) What if we looked at 100, 200, 300 high enrollment courses? http://rtnl.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/thinker21.jpg

68. Hey Higher Ed! We must get rid of our “not invented here” attitude regarding others’ content move to: "proudly borrowed from there" Content is not a strategic advantage Nor can we (or our students) afford it
69. “As uncomfortable a proposition as this new openness may be for some, I believe it is the future of higher education.” In web 2.0, everything is public & higher education needs to get used to it. Future of Openness in Education David Wiley 2006. Open source, openness, and higher education.

73. System Strategic Technology Plan Access for all students and all colleges Single, centrally funded solutions for common systems Rule of 1: do it once Rule of 0: don’t do it Don’t build software, don’t host servers Retain local branding and admin control All instructional technologies are architected to make it easy to share content. 67
74. But using open educational resources – and contributing to them – requires significant change in the culture of higher education. It requires thinking about content as a common resource that raises all boats when shared. It requires replacing our “not invented here” attitude with a “proudly borrowed from there” orientation. (p.11) 68
75. WA Legislation SSHB1946 – two big ideas – share technology and share content. (v) Methods and open licensing options for effectively sharing digital content including but not limited to: Open courseware, open textbooks, open journals, and open learning objects… 69
76. Student Advocacy WA CTC 2009 Student Voice Academy (1) CUTTING TEXTBOOK COSTS “The high cost of textbooks is a burden to students. Textbooks available in a printable, online format as well as in a traditional format would make curriculum easily accessible to students and instructors. Legislation that requires college instructional divisions to enhance available college online options for every required textbook whenever possible is requested.” 70
77. Redesigning 81 Common Courses Foundation + Legislature + SBCTC + Colleges Increase number of gatekeeper course sections available so students can get courses when they need them Improve course completion rates Courses are digital – can be taught online, hybrid, web-enhanced and/or faculty can re-mix Open CC Licensing – share with the world Free or very low cost textbooks / course packs sections in 81 courses = $42M+ / year in textbook costs Develop a culture of sharing content in the WA CTCs 71
78. Partnering with Consortia & ??? CCC OER List of open and free textbooks that may be suitable for use in community college courses WA CTCs redesign 80 courses Conversation with FL, CA, TX, CT, OH… 72
79. Federal Movement on Open? Obama’s American Graduation Initiative $50M / year for the creation of open courseware Senator Dick Durbin (IL) $15M / year: Open Textbooks Undersecretary of Education Martha Kanter @ Seattle District OER leader when Chancellor @ Foothill-De Anza Community College District Federal Research Access Act of 2009 increasing public access to academic research that is funded by the federal government (free after 6 mos) 73
80. Important Messages are: This is not about mandated curriculum. All stakeholders need to be in the discussion. Open resources provide more choice for faculty and lower costs (& increased access) for students. 74
83. Think Big Crazy Ideas…. We could share all of our instructional digital resources including: courses, textbooks and library resources with the world… and, more important, use global digital materials. We could use common teaching & learning, student services, and administrative technologies and support services. We could design courses that enable and encourage students to contribute, change, remix course content.
