shared innovation™ Some questions for you What is the most referred to text in first year undergraduate computer science courses in the UK? Based on pedagogical approaches, what are the recommended resources required to teach an emerging subject in a new department a University somewhere? before we go any further, I want to ask you guys a few questions ... that might help illustrate some of the things im going to talk about ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/takomabibelot/2206414180/

shared innovation™ Why can’t we answer these questions? http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobloo17/188697388/

shared innovation™ Why can’t we answer these questions? is it because the the data doesn’t exist? http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobloo17/188697388/

shared innovation™ if the data exists then its within individual institutions data exists within institutions across a myriad of internal systems sometimes even across departments http://www.flickr.com/photos/97534175@N00/2460602770/

shared innovation™ what is open world thinking ... we’ve seen historically that there is this ‘inexorable movement’ away from change the way you think about building systems ... win is that when you want to integrate with them its so much easier. “Openness tends to be an inexorable movement through time” http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmmmmrob/496694726/

shared innovation™ open world thinking is not about technology its about a paradigm shift in our understanding of how we need to solve. problems and mitigate the ‘political’ risk within institutions. thinking about how to ensure that the data we design is valuable to someone other than us http://www.flickr.com/photos/65193799@N00/515399703/ and

shared innovation™ linked data movement is publishing data in a agreed form and through openness others can now come along and build new services and applications on that use this data. design for appropriation ( architecture of assembly ), structure up front vs structure on the ﬂy so design data at the right level of granularity for reuse - too complex and no one will understand, too vague and you can’t extract meaning from it. “Linked Data is the Semantic Web done right and the Web done right.” Sir Tim Berners-Lee

shared innovation™ picture of Alan Massen’s cards, and Hybrid Learning Model explain that whats he’s really doing is going around using an ontology to capture information about pedagogical approaches across institutions. If you knew what the learning requirements for each course where and the teaching styles that information could be presented to students through applications like Zephyr. You could also build up a lot of information about the different styles of teaching within an institute, across departments. Or further aﬁeld ... you could contrast the different teaching styles for Programming Courses across the UK. Image Credit goes here
