Social software and education can enable communities of learners beyond traditional boundaries. Information spreads faster than can be controlled, so collaboration takes different forms through both online and offline social interaction. Social software allows people to connect and collaborate through computer-mediated communication using features like user connections, tagging, commenting, and syndication. These tools have implications for education by supporting sharing of resources and participation beyond the classroom. Educators should consider having an online presence and using social tools to engage students.
Is traditional reading and writing enough to be considered literate in the 21st century? We need to rethink our notion of critical literacy, develop authentic learning and assessment opportunities, upgrade and amplify our curriculum.
This presentation looks at "web2" in the context of human experience, suggesting that the social web as extension of "real life" means that it transcends the marketing-biased, "numbered web" hype that has typically surrounded it.
The slides focus particularly on the use of "social web" tools in the enterprise.

The Web 2.0 is providing new ways to create content, collaborate, and participate in wide-reaching discussions. For a graduate course in building such interactive services, I have used these recent technological advances to give students exposure to what they are to design. I will briefly describe some technologies that I have used from Web 2.0 type of applications. The first is Twitter which I use to carry classroom discussions outside of email and outside of classroom boundaries (physical and electronic). I also use DropBox as a way to share documents with students in groups. I have also used podcasts, Google Docs, Google Calendar, SlideShare, CiteULike, Delicious, and LinkedIn for other purposes related to my teaching/research.
This is a presentation with the intension of persuading the audience (school district) about the benefits of using the open source software Moodle to enhance classroom learning in an online environment.
Moodle is a software package for producing Internet-based courses and web sites.
Moodle is provided freely as Open Source software (under the GNU Public License).
It can be run on Windows and Mac operating systems and many flavors of Linux.
The word Moodle a verb that describes the process of lazily meandering through something, doing things as it occurs to you to do them, an enjoyable tinkering that often leads to insight and creativity.
Anyone who uses Moodle is a Moodler.

In these times of a bankrupt General Motors, failing newspapers and old media, colleges can be seen as similar institutions that have not responded to changing technologies and economic shifts. My own list of terms that we deal with in our classrooms that are being redefined - whether we agree with these new definitions or we resist changes to the definitions includes: Writing, Reading, Literacy, Publishing, Ownership/IP/Copyright, Research, Privacy, and Class hours.

Personal Information Ecosystems: Design Concerns for Net-Enabled DevicesManuel A. Perez-Quinones
Today, with the proliferation of affordable computing, people use multiple devices to fulfill their information needs. Designers approach each device platform individ- ually, without accounting for the other devices that users may also use. In many cases, the software applications on all the user’s devices are designed to be functional repli- cates of each other, often with an emphasis on keeping their form and function consistent with the same application on other device platforms. In this paper, we present the idea of a personal information ecosystem, an analogy to bio- logical ecosystems, which allows us to discuss the inter- relationships among users’ devices. Using the examples of now-ubiquitous web-enabled devices, we discuss how con- sidering the user’s ecosystem of devices as a holistic de- sign target gives designers and researchers a language to describe and discuss the design of applications that span multiple devices.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
