Educational Technology Conferences Educational Technology and Education Conferences for December 2018 to June 2019, Edition #40 Prepared by Clayton R. Wright, crwr77 at gmail.com, November 10, 2018 The 40th edition of the conference list covers selected professional development opportunities that primarily focus on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until June 2019 are most complete as dates, locations, or Internet addresses (URLs) were not available for a number of events held later in the year. In order to protect the privacy of individuals, only URLs are used in the listing as this enables readers of the list to obtain event information without submitting their e-mail addresses. A significant challenge during the assembly of this list is incomplete or conflicting information on websites and the lack of a link between conference websites from one year to the next. An explanation for the content and format of the list can be found at http://newsletter.alt.ac.uk/2011/08/why- distribute-documents-in-ms-word-or-openoffice-for-an-international-audience/. A Word or an OpenOffice format is used to enable people with limited or high-cost Internet access to find a conference that is congruent with their interests or obtain conference abstracts or proceedings. Consider using the “Find” tool under Microsoft Word’s “Edit” tab or similar tab in OpenOffice to locate the name of a particular conference, association, city, or country. If you enter the country “Australia” or place, such as “Hong Kong” in the “Find” tool, all conferences that occur in Australia or Hong Kong will be highlighted. Or, enter the word “research” or “assessment”. (Note that key words such as “research”, “assessment” or “MOOCs” may not be present in the conference title, yet these topics could be discussed during a particular conference.) Then, “cut and paste” a list of suitable events for your colleagues. Please note that events, dates, titles, and locations may change and some events may be cancelled. Thus, CHECK the specific conference website not only for basic information, but to assure yourself that the conference is legitimate. Just as there is an increasing number of predatory or fake journals, there is also an increase in the number of conferences that are not quality-focused. Check your “gut” – if it doesn’t feel quite right, perhaps more checking is in order. Take the time to conduct your own due diligence for any events you want to attend or submit a paper to. To garner the most from a conference, this article by Amy Strage may be helpful: The Conference Notebook. You may also find this article useful: How to Facilitate a Conference Session by Garrett Richards. All Web addresses were verified at the time of publication. No liability is assumed for any errors that may have been introduced inadvertently during the assembly of this FREE conference list. Kindly retain the contact information when you re-distribute the list or mount it on the web as that is how I receive updates. crw ****************** November 13, 2018 Security in Education Conference: Improving Student Safety and Wellbeing.

  • Young Leaders Don't Want the Top Job by CINDY KRISCHER GOODMAN [email protected] 04/14/2015 6:40 PM
    Young leaders don't want the top job BY CINDY KRISCHER GOODMAN [email protected] 04/14/2015 6:40 PM ALLISON DIAZ FOR THE MIAMI HERALD Inside the cubicles at many workplaces, a strange trend is taking place. Young people don’t want to upgrade their cubicle for the corner office. Workplace experts call it “the aspiration gap.” At a time when 10,000 boomers a day are retiring, businesses need young workers to lead their companies into the future. But only 11 percent of millennials said they aspire to senior level positions at their company, found a recent study by talent management firm Saba andWorkplaceTrends.com. Dan Schawbel, founder of WorkplaceTrends.com, says the reason for the aspiration gap among young workers could be simple: “They just don’t see the path up.” Emerging from the recession, many companies have focused on recovery and growth rather than training their young workers for leadership positions or communicating career paths. Only 15 percent feel the training they receive is preparing them for the next position, according to the study, which polled 1,000 human resources professionals and 1,000 workers across age brackets. “I have to admit, it takes effort,” says Detra Shaw-Wilder, 45, managing partner at her Miami law firm, Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton, founded in 1983. Since taking over the top job at her firm, once held by senior partners, Shaw-Wilder has become mindful of developing young associates into partners. “We want to look to the future and groom leaders. If we don’t focus on it, and we get busy with the practice of law, I could see where young people could get frustrated.” Another factor also is at play, explains Ladan Nikravan, senior editor at Human Capital Media Group and author of the Ask a Gen Y blog.

  • The Chief Learning Officer: Pursuing a Grounded Theory Of
    THE CHIEF LEARNING OFFICER: PURSUING A GROUNDED THEORY OF EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AT THE TOP OF THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT FIELD Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctorate in Social Science. at the University of Leicester by Richard C. Douglas, B.A. (USNY), MBA (National), PhD (Union) Centre for Labour Market Studies University of Leicester December 1, 2014 ii Abstract THE CHIEF LEARNING OFFICER: PURSUING A GROUNDED THEORY OF EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AT THE TOP OF THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT FIELD The Chief Learning Officer (CLO) of an organization is the executive responsible for learning and workplace performance, and is often a member of its top management team. Practicing human resource development (HRD) strategically, the CLO creates and conducts learning and development activities designed to increase workers’ capabilities and outcomes. This thesis establishes a theoretical description of the path HRD practitioners take to become CLOs, examines how they perform strategic HRD and where they go when finished in that role, and delineates the structure-agency dynamics they function within. Additionally, the thesis explores and explains the CLO phenomenon through the use of sociological theories of structure and agency. Particularly, it applies strong structuration theory to the CLO. Combining these theories provides a thorough theoretical explanation of the basic social process of the CLO phenomenon, grounded in the data. Using grounded theory as its qualitative research method, it gathers and analyzes the lived experiences of CLOs. The results from 20 semi-structured interviews with current and former CLOs are presented and analyzed to explore how HRD practitioners become CLOs, how CLOs practice strategic HRD, and where CLOs go in their careers.
