What are some microlearning resources that can enhance
your teaching practice?
Powered by AI and the LinkedIn community
Microlearning is a teaching strategy that involves delivering
short and focused lessons or activities that target specific
learning outcomes. It can help you engage your learners,
reinforce key concepts, and enhance retention and transfer of
knowledge. In this article, you will discover some microlearning
resources that can support your teaching practice and align with
various pedagogical theories.
Why microlearning?
Microlearning is not a new concept, but it has become more
popular in recent years due to the increasing use of technology
and the changing needs and preferences of learners. This type
of learning can provide a variety of benefits for both teachers
and learners. For example, it can reduce cognitive load and
increase attention span by breaking down complex topics into
smaller pieces. Additionally, microlearning is convenient and
flexible, allowing learners to access content anytime and
anywhere. Furthermore, it supports personalized and selfdirected learning by enabling learners to choose their own pace
and path. Moreover, it can enhance motivation and engagement
by using interactive and multimedia elements. Finally, it can
improve retention and application by reinforcing and reviewing
essential information and skills.

Unsung hero: how culture influences movies and
storytelling
¹ Have you ever been immersed in a film, TV show, or book
and thought, "Wow, this feels so Japanese"? (or American, or
French, or Chinese…?) There are so many ways our cultures
differ when it comes to storytelling! A culture's values and
beliefs shape the very foundation of their stories, from their
underlying ideas and themes to the individuals who inhabit
their worlds.
² Maybe you’re familiar with "The American Dream": the
hope of achieving success through hard work, determination,
and initiative. Because U.S. culture values self-reliance and
personal autonomy, stories often focus on a single
protagonist who has to overcome personal challenges and
external obstacles to succeed. In the end, the hero is
transformed and emerges a stronger, more resilient version
of themselves.
³ Even imagining what a hero should be reflects the values
and beliefs of each society, and nearly every culture has their
own brand of hero! For example, back in Japan, heroes often
prioritize the greater good over their own desires,
showcasing the importance of duty and self-sacrifice in
Japanese culture. In Britain, heroes are often characterized
by their honor, chivalry, and intelligence (think: Sherlock
Holmes and Hermione Granger). British heroes often
showcase their wit, wisdom, and willingness to stand up for
what's right. In South Africa, heroes are celebrated for their
courage, resilience, and commitment to justice.

Through practice and experience in an increasingly
wide range of communicative contexts and events, learners
gradually expand their communicative competence, consisting
of grammatical competence, discourse competence,
sociocultural competence and strategic competence. All these
components are interrelated. An increase in one component
interacts with other components to produce a corresponding
increase in overall communicative competence.
Grammatical competence refers to sentence-level
grammatical form, the ability to recognize the lexical,
morphological, syntactic and phonological feature of a
language and to make use of these features to interpret
and form words and whole sentences. One demonstrates
grammatical competence not by stating a rule but by using a
rule in the interpretation, expression or negotiation of meaning.
Discourse competence is concerned not with isolated
words or phrases but with the interconnectedness of a series
of utterances, written words and/or phrases to build a text,
a meaningful whole. Two familiar concepts to talk about
discourse competence are text coherence and cohesion. Text
coherence is the relation of all sentences or utterances in a text
to a single global proposition. Local connections or structural
links between individual sentences provide cohesion.
Sociocultural competence extends well beyond linguistic
forms and is an interdisciplinary field of inquiry having to do with
the social rules of language use.
Sociocultural competence
requires an understanding of the social context where
language is used: the roles of the participants, the information
they share, and the function of the interation. And although we
are far from an adequate description of sociocultural rules of
appropriateness, we use them to communicate successfully in
many different contexts of situation. Sociocultural competence
also includes a willingness to suspend judgement and take
into consideration the possibility of cultural differences in
convention and use. Thus the importance of the term cultural
flexibility or cultural awareness.
The ‘’ideal native speaker,’’ someone who knows a
language perfectly and uses it appropriately in all social
interactions, exists in theory only. None of us knows all there is
to know of English in its many manifestations, both around the
world and in our own backyards. Communicative competence
is always relative. The coping strategies we use in unfamiliar
contexts, with constraints due to imperfect knowledge of
rules or limiting factors in their application such as fatigue or
distraction, are represented as strategic competence. With
practice and experience, we gain in grammatical, discourse,
and socio-cultural competence. The relative importance of
strategic competence thus decreases. However, the effective
use of coping strategies is important for communicative
competence in all contexts and distinguishes highly competent
communicators from those who are less so.

Advantages of wireless technology
Wireless communications offer several cost and connectivity benefits for organizations. The rapid rise of remote work – fuelled in part by the pandemic that began in 2020 – has created an environment where employees demand high-performance access to network resources regardless of where they might be.
Wireless networks can be less expensive to build and maintain since they require fewer switches and other components required by wired infrastructures. New wireless standards – especially among them multiuser, multiple input and multiple output – enable physical Access Points (APs) to serve a greater number of users, further reducing costs.
Wireless technologies also support novel services, among them location tracking, Internet of Things (IoT) deployments and remote diagnostics. Finally, advances in wireless performance enable organizations to stress mobility as a primary benefit, thus helping them redefine how they design their offices and workgroups.

Information Security (InfoSec) defined
Information security, often abbreviated InfoSec, is a set
of security procedures and tools that broadly protect sensitive
enterprise information from misuse, unauthorized access,
disruption, or destruction. InfoSec encompasses physical and
environmental security, access control, and cybersecurity. It
often includes technologies like cloud access security brokers
(CASB), deception tools, endpoint detection and response
(EDR), and security testing for DevOps (DevSecOps), among
others.
Key elements of information security
InfoSec comprises a range of security tools, solutions,
and processes that keep enterprise information secure across
devices and locations, helping to protect against cyberattacks
or other disruptive events.
• Application security - Policies, procedures, tools, and best
practices enacted to protect applications and their data.w
• Cloud security - Policies, procedures, tools, and best
practices enacted to protect all aspects of the cloud,
including systems, data, applications, and infrastructure.
• Cryptography - An algorithm-based method of securing
communication meant to ensure only intended recipients
of a specific message can view and decipher it.
• Disaster recovery - A method to reestablish functional
technological systems in the wake of an event like a
natural disaster, cyberattack, or another disruptive event.
• Incident response - An organization’s plan for responding
to, remediating, and managing the aftermath of a
cyberattack, data breach, or another disruptive event.
• Infrastructure security - Security that encompasses
an organization’s entire technological infrastructure,
including both hardware and software systems.
• Vulnerability management - The process an organization
takes to identify, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities in
its endpoints, software, and systems.
Three pillars of information security: the CIA triad
Confidentiality, integrity, and availability make up the
cornerstones of strong information protection, creating the
basis for an enterprise’s security infrastructure. The CIA
triad offers these three concepts as guiding principles for
implementing an InfoSec plan.
Confidentiality
Privacy is a major component of InfoSec, and
organizations should enact measures that allow only
authorized users access to information. Data encryption,
multi-factor authentication, and data loss prevention are
some of the tools enterprises can employ to help ensure
data confidentiality.
Integrity
Enterprises must maintain data’s integrity across its
entire lifecycle. Enterprises with strong InfoSec will recognize
the importance of accurate, reliable data, and permit no
unauthorized user to access, alter, or otherwise interfere with
it. Tools like file permissions, identity management, and user
access controls help ensure data integrity.
Availability
InfoSec involves consistently maintaining physical
hardware and regularly completing system upgrades to
guarantee that authorized users have dependable, consistent
access to data as they need it.

New generation of Indigenous activists battle to save the Amazon
Campaigners in Brazil use drones to document work of self-defence teams trying to stop environmental destruction caused by illegal mining
Batista, who belongs to South America's Macuxi people, is part of a new generation of Indigenous journalists helping chronicle an age-old battle against outside aggression. For centuries, non-Indigenous writers and reporters have flocked to the rainforest region to tell their version of that ancestral fight for survival. Now, a growing cohort of Indigenous communicators are telling their own stories, providing first-hand dispatches from some of the Amazon's most inaccessible and under-reported corners.
"It's dangerous work and we suffer a lot when we're out in the field," said Batista, one of about 26,000 inhabitants of Raposa Serra do Sol, Brazil's second most populous Indigenous territory. "But it really gives me strength because I'm showing the reality of our lives to the world."
"It's my job to monitor the territory: to see who's coming in and who is leaving, to find areas being invaded, and to defend the territory because we cannot live without it," said Batista, who was trained by a local Indigenous association, the Conselho Indígena de Roraima, as part of an initiative called Rede Wakywai, which means "our news" in the local Wapichana language.

adding more complexity to the sentences. These
conjunctions tend to give more details about the main

Colombia deadliest country for environmentalists -
report
By Vanessa Buschschlüter
BBC News
Tuesday, September 13, 2023
At least 177 environmental activists were killed across
the world last year, a report by the non-governmental
organisation Global Witness suggests.
Sixty of the killings took place in Colombia, making it
the deadliest country for environmental defenders.
Global Witness says very few of the perpetrators of the
killings are ever brought to justice.
The group said in its report that the total number of those
killed in the country since it began recording data on
attacks on environmentalists in 2012 had amounted to at
least 382.
While that makes it the country with the highest number
of murders of green activists anywhere in the world,
other countries in Latin America also proved deadly.
Brazil recorded 34 murders of defenders of the
environment. Mexico 31 and Honduras 11. The Amazon
region saw 39 killings, with many of the victims from
indigenous communities.
"Research has shown again and again that Indigenous
peoples are the best guardians of the forests and therefore
play a fundamental role in mitigating the climate crisis,"
said Global Witness senior adviser Laura Furones.
Global witness said the full scale of the killings was
unknown, with a lack of independent monitoring and
restrictions on free press in many countries leading to an
underreporting of cases.
They have called on governments around the world to
urgently address the issue, adding that defenders were
also increasingly being subjected to legal efforts to
silence them.

Saving What’s Precious
The World Monuments Fund is an organization
_____________works to preserve important
historical and architectural sites ____________ the world. Every two years, the WMF releases a list
of sites ______________ particular danger of becoming
ruins, and in 2014, it chose 67 sites in 41 countries.
As this is a problem I feel strongly about, I decided
to find______________ more about some of these
places ___________ my blog.
My first discovery was the Fort of Graca, in Elvas, Portugal. Built in the 18th century, this superb military
building played an important role in several wars.
However, the building’s strategic importance declined
over the years and signs of decay are now appearing.
Today, the WMF supports the continued maintenance
of the fort, and plans to reuse it as a tourism center.
My research then led me to the Sankore Mosque in
Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa. Built in the 14th century,
the mosque was integral to the city’s importance as a
spiritual and intellectual center in the 15th and 16th
centuries. Today, the mosque is vulnerable to fighting
and rapid urbanization in the region. The WMF hopes
to draw attention to this, and to protect this precious
monument.
My online journey then took me to the Christ Church
Cathedral in Zanzibar, Tanzania, East Africa. Completed
in 1879, the Cathedral’s exquisite design makes its history difficult to take in: it lies on the site of what was, until 1873, a major slave market. The Cathedral is now
both a place of worship and a memorial to the slaves
who suffered there. Recently, large cracks appeared
in the Cathedral’s walls. However, with the help of the
WMF, they are now repaired.
A very special site on my list was the Damiya Dolmen
Field in Jordan, home to 300 stone tombs which date
back to 3600 BC. The Damiya Field is in danger of collapse due to mining in the area. However, thanks to
pressure from the WMF, the Jordanian government is
taking steps to protect it.
Lastly, I found out about the 19th century Alhambra
Palace in Santiago, Chile. It replicates parts of the 13th
century Alhambra palace in Spain, and, until a major
earthquake hit the country in 2010, existed as a cultural institution supporting artists. The effects of the
earthquake, together with old age and weather, made
the building unsafe and it is currently closed. The WMF
hopes that its involvement with the palace can help it
to open to the public once again.
The words in bold However, Today, then and
Lastly are being used in the text as part of speech to:
