SUMMARY:IALLT Webinar - Academic Reading Circles
DESCRIPTION:Developing skills for independent literacy through collaborative exploration \nThis session discusses Academic Reading Circles (Seburn\, 2015)\, an approach to teaching reading in second and foreign language teaching contexts. ARC provides a structure which empowers learners to become experts in specific aspects of a text\, then pool their knowledge in a group discussion. With choice over tools and resources\, including AI\, students develop skills that support their growth as independent readers. \nWednesday\, May 14\, 2025\n12:00pm PT / 1:00pm MT / 2:00pm CT / 3:00pm ET\nPresenters: Sandrine Pell and Daniel Pell\nRegister here \nHosted by the International Association for Language Learning Technology (https://iallt.org/)

SUMMARY:UC Data Week - Visualizing Islamic Manuscripts data at UCLA Library
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Saad Shaukat (UCLA) \nUCLA library holds one of the largest collections of Islamic manuscripts (roughly 10\,000 items) covering multiple languages including Arabic\, Persian\, Turkish\, and Urdu\, and spanning nearly 9 centuries (12th-20th). Currently\, UCLA Library Special Collections is in the process of a multi-year effort to create digital records for its Islamic Manuscript holdings. At HumTech\, our team is engaged in a project to visualize the cataloged manuscripts through Tableau. The goal of this project is to represent a birds eye view of the Islamic manuscript holdings for interested researchers. Through representation of multiple data points that the library cataloging process captured from the manuscripts\, the visualization hopes to provide easy access to researchers for dissecting the data in multiple ways and helping them in drawing useful insights into the Islamic manuscript holdings at UCLA. In this presentation\, we will be discussing the challenges that we faced in data cleaning\, wrangling and visualization that are specific to manuscript collections\, especially one that is primarily in non-Latin script and spans to the pre-modern period. \nRegistration Required

SUMMARY:UC Data Week - Sharing and Locating Research Data in Humanities and Social Science Studies
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tianji Jiang (UCLA) \nSharing and reusing data can effectively reduce redundant efforts in data collection. It also enhances the efficiency of scientific research investments by preventing the reinvention of the wheel. Building a sustainable data-reuse process and culture requires frameworks that include policies\, standards\, roles\, and responsibilities\, all of which must address the diverse needs of data providers\, curators\, and (re)users alike. A critical step in the data sharing and (re)use cycle involves researchers depositing their research data into data-sharing infrastructures\, keeping their data in a sharable and usable form\, making other researchers aware of their data\, and identifying data that are (re)usable for their needs. In this session\, I aim to introduce some ideas and techniques for preparing research data for sharing. I will also introduce 2 to 3 data repositories ideal for researchers depositing their data and seeking (re)usable data for their studies. Additionally\, I will offer several tips and strategies for identifying and utilizing (re)usable data effectively. The session is structured to last approximately 50 minutes\, comprising a 40-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer segment. \nRegistration Required

SUMMARY:IALLT Webinar - From Textbook to Homework: A Collaborative Journey in Developing Our Spanish OER Projects with LibreTexts
DESCRIPTION:From Textbook to Homework: A Collaborative Journey in Developing Our Spanish OER Projects with LibreTexts \nPresenters: Alejandro Lee\, Nancy Ballesteros\, Sarah Harmon\, and Cristina Moon\nRegister Here \nIn this presentation\, four instructors from California community colleges will discuss their transition from traditional commercial textbook bundles to Open Educational Resources (OER) and innovative homework solutions in Spanish language instruction. They will focus on three collaborative projects supported by the Academic Senate of California Community Colleges Open Educational Resources Initiative (ASCCC OERI) and LibreTexts: Entrada Libre (2020)\, Tarea Libre (2022)\, and Tarea Libre 2 (expected summer 2024). Attendees will learn about the collaborative process\, from conception to implementation\, and the challenges faced during the development of the materials. \nThe speakers will share valuable insights into OER development and offer actionable takeaways. The presentation aims to renew enthusiasm for reshaping the future of Spanish language education through innovative solutions. Emphasis will be placed on the creation of open and accessible resources that align with the ASCCC OERI IDEA framework of inclusion\, diversity\, equity\, anti-racism\, and accessibility. \nHosted by the International Association for Language Learning Technology (https://iallt.org/)
