Online Kinship Module project - Aboriginal cultural education- The University of Sydney

Online Kinship Module project - Aboriginal cultural education- The University of Sydney | Connecting with technology-ICT for university educators. | Scoop.it
Catherine Smyth's curator insight, August 10, 2014 11:12 PM

The Kinship Module project is a pilot online education program that promotes Aboriginal cultural education at a university level.

By undertaking the module you will gain a greater understanding of and insight into:

experience of Aboriginal Kinship systems and how they operateAboriginal social structures and how these differ from Western societieshow cultural assessment assists in understanding these impactspotential conflict in working with people from differing cultural backgroundshow cultural difference impacts upon Aboriginal people in the social systems which operate in Australia, such as: through education, criminal justice systems and the legal system more broadly.

A useful tool to support the online module is the suite of narratives from Aboriginal people. These narratives explore cultural and service issues that are relevant to student, teachers and others who work to support Aboriginal communities.

The narratives also provide additional and more in-depth information on cultural identity, the impacts of cross-cultural differences, and issues of importance for Aboriginal people when working in a number of service areas, such as education, social welfare, law and health.

康奈尔笔记法将笔记本分为三栏:大区域的主栏、条目栏(线索栏)、总结栏。

记笔记方法为”5R's”法:

1.Record- 在主栏中,尽可能多地记录一些重要事实、思想、概念等。

2.Reduce,归纳- 在线索栏,将这些事实,思想和概念归纳概括为一个词汇、或一句短话。

3.Recite,背诵 - 利用线索栏的提示,尽可能全面、而非机械地,用你自己的语言复述你所记录的主栏中有关讲座内容的事实、思想,然后对照笔记确认你所讲的。

4.Reflect,反思 - 思考这些材料与课程、单元/被讨论的科目之间的关系,这部分内容卸载总结栏。

5.Review,总结 - 每周花10分钟快速回顾你的笔记,你将会记住你所学习的大部分内容。

The Higher Education and K-12 Conversation | Profession | HYBRID PEDAGOGY

The Higher Education and K-12 Conversation | Profession | HYBRID PEDAGOGY | Connecting with technology-ICT for university educators. | Scoop.it

by Karen Young

 

When we think about K-12 and higher education, educators think of them as two separate entities. Within K-12, we divide it further; primary, junior, intermediate, and senior. These artificial silos create barriers to sharing professionally about the biggest questions in education: how do students learn and what is learning? How do we recognize learning when we see it? Through a series of multiple choice tests or through the creation of a product? Is our job still to stuff into our students’ heads as much content as possible, or is it to help students learn how to plan and then create? The education system at all levels is being radically changed by social media, and the artificial barriers we’ve constructed over time are shifting, perhaps eventually to disappear.

Competencies Required for Digital Curation: An Analysis of Job Advertisements

Via Robin Good
Robin Good's curator insight, June 26, 2013 7:51 AM



In this white paper authored by Jeonghyun Kim, Edward Warga, William Moen and entitled "Competencies Required for Digital Curation: An Analysis of Job Advertisements", the authors review a total of 173 job advertisements posted between October 2011 and April 2012 were collected from various sources to take into account varying types of professionals in the field of digital curation across North America.


"Position title, institution types and location, educational background, experience, knowledge and skills, and duties were examined and analyzed. The results of the analysis show that digital curation jobs are characterized by a complex interplay of various skills and knowledge."


The authors also identified their first version of a set of iCAMP competencies, defined as: knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes to carry out a wide range of professional functions in support of digital curation responsibilities.


These skills and competencies for digital curators include seven areas:


1) Communication and interpersonal competency: This competency is required for clear and effective communication with a variety of audiences, including users, creators, managers, researchers and collaborators.


2) Curating and preserving content competency: This competency is required to understand and carry out a range of activities as defined in the digital curation lifecycle model, including the creation, acquisition, management, representation, access, organization, transformation and preservation of digital content.


3) Curation technologies competency: This competency is required to identify, use, and develop tools and applications to support digital curation activities. The context of this competency is the information technology infrastructure, including the tools and applications deployed to support digital curation.


4) Environmental scanning competency: This competency is required to identify and use resources to stay current and on the leading edge regarding trends, technologies and practices that affect professional work and capabilities within the field of digital curation.


5) Management, planning and evaluation competency: This competency is required for planning, coordinating, implementing, and assessing programs, projects and services related to digital curation.


6) Services competency: This competency is required to identify, understand and build services to respond to a community’s and/or institution’s digital curation needs.


7) Systems, models and modeling competency: This competency is required for high-level, abstract thinking about and critical analysis of complex systems, workflows and conceptual models related to digital curation.
