The mechanics and art of photography unveil an intriguing metaphor for thinking about learning and our world view. For a photographer, the operation of cameras-- exploiting apertures, shutter speeds, optics, -- coexist with the artistic skills of pre-visualization, framing, composition. It is no longer a field dominated by pros with expensive gear, we can all make photographic art.
Taking the metaphor farther, creating an engaging learning experience is much more than point and shoot or flipping the settings into automatic mode. Photography is a beautiful example of how you can get better at doing something just by regularly doing (and sharing) your craft. Regular acts of photography, such as the Daily Create, are a model of informal learning that works.
Digital Ethics or The End of The Age of Legends v5Darren Kuropatwa
Slide deck in support of a conversation with educators about how to embed the teaching of digital ethics across the curriculum and holding up a mirror to our own ethical online behaviour before becoming too critical of the students who learn from us.
Held at the EARCOS Leadership Conference in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. 31 October 2014.
We live in an age where everything is recorded digitally – in pictures, video, and text – live as it happens; it's the end of the age of legends. "Selfie", according to the Oxford dictionary, is the word of the year 2013. Often the selfies our students are sharing aren't putting their best digital foot forward. As teachers, how can we help our students leave digital footprints they can be proud of? Is only sharing your "best stuff" such a good idea? How do we address the issue of digital ethics across the curriculum and in our classrooms?

The Value of Leadership, the Leadership of Value: Remaining Relevant in times...Peter Bromberg
Script and supporting materials at: http://peterbromberg.com/sla
Throw out those 5 year strategic plans, change ain't what it used to be. Change no longer happens in slow, predictable, macro waves that allow us the time to make and execute big plans. Change now happens in a continual series of microbursts, each one potentially changing our experiences, behaviors, perceptions, and expectations in unexpected but potentially powerful ways.
A new type of leadership is called for. A leadership that not only provides a map for change, but also empowers people in your organization to throw away the map and respond to clients' needs in the moment. A leadership that questions best practices, holding only lightly to the ways of the past. A leadership that monitors societal trends and embraces small innovations and good ideas no matter where they come from.
Keynote presentation for ITC 2011 ( February 20, 2011, St Petersburg FL)
In our media soaked culture, thé cliche exchange rate of 1000 words per picture seems quite low. The mechanics and art of photography unveil an intriguing metaphor for thinking about learning. For a photographer, the operation of cameras-- exploiting apertures, shutter speeds, optics, filters-- coexist with the artistic skills of pre-visualization, framing, composition. We meld with the camera, the boundary between tools and our human capabilities blur.
Taking the metaphor farther, creating an engaging learning experience is much more than point and shoot. Few successful photographers are born innately with their skills- it is a craft, as is learning, that often improves in the act of doing, trying, and reflecting.

2010 was a big year for the Open Data community, some Ordnance Survey data was made freely available, data.gov.uk launched with a raft of data from across government, government published an open data license and then a new government took over who seem to be equally committed to Open Data. So far we have seen Local Government brought into the Open Data initiative (albeit with a bit of a struggle) and most recently aggregated crime data has been published on police.uk.
- So is everything rosy in the Open Data garden or are there dark clouds looming on the horizon?
- In a geo-context it seems that if we can pin a pair of coordinates to something someone will put it on a map, perhaps we need to pause before we map?

Helping vs. Telling - the press release's next chapterMalcolm Atherton
The obituary of the press release has been written time and time again, and with good reason. The days of lengthy, superlative-filled releases written by a company for the company should be over. Consumers of information - media and B2B/B2C consumers - want information that is useful and helpful to aid them in their journalistic endeavors or guide them towards a more informed purchasing decision.
Join PR Newswire and AZTC to learn about:
Changes in how content is found and consumed online
The major shift towards "content marketing" and the use of thought leadership as a marketing & advertising channel
How is the press release evolving, and how can it be used to support marketing, advertising, and public relations pros?

Here is a not so secret method for how to be successful at anything. Practice it every day. But there's more to sustaining this than repeating it for 10,000 hours. That's boring. We have something in the DS106 Open Digital Storytelling course that has helped people improve their creativity and imagination. The Daily Create is modeled the defunct Daily Shoot, which offered a daily challenge designed to help people practice their photography skills. For over two years, the ds106 Daily Create has offered a daily creative prompt in written, photographic, drawing, audio, and video form. These challenges are now to no stake and encourage participants to try things that may have never done before. What makes this different from exercising or learning to play the saxophone is that the Daily Create is fun, open, and generates connections between people around the world. And you can modify the same approach for any subject.
Invited keynote for Riding the Wave of Change conference, Gimli (Manitoba) May 2014
We live in a data driven world. Our ability to generate and store data is increasing exponentially but, with data comes the need to analyse it and communicate it. Data stories such as infographics can bring facts to life, and is a way to simplify and help make sense and order out of a disparate collection of facts. Learn simple strategies to engage all students in authentic, integrated, inquiry learning which blends computational methods with digital graphics to visualise data in meaningful, interesting and more dynamic ways. See how you can engage your students in building effective stories from the hidden insights locked within the data they are exploring.
Infographics for Nonprofits - Forefront Member Breakfast SeriesForefront
Subtitled, "When Good Fact Sheets Go Bad," Delia Coleman and Kathleen Murphy of Forefront discuss the do's and don'ts of nonprofit infographics. This deck covers the basics of visual storytelling, proper data use, and design principles for non-designers.
Over the last few years infographics has rocketed into the public consciousness as a visual storytelling method. As with an creative outlet there are the good and bad examples, within this talk we're explore what makes a good infographic, what to consider before you start sketching and work through some methods for creating an infographic. Talking about breaking down the data set to find the best story, constructing the correct story flow, understanding how to construct the clear story and what it is important. Could be useful to anyone who would like to create infographics, improve any skills if they are just starting out, understand how to use infographics as part of their storytelling.
"Storytelling" is a long time resident of the charts of educational ideas. As a topic of workshops and presentations (I've done plenty), books (none for me), TED Talks (definitely not), the word to me conjures up the idea of performance. Plus my own internal conversation-- "I'm not a storyteller". Peel away the connotations of campfires, cave drawings, and performers on a stage, the elements of storythinking are much more important to me than the show. A hook of interest, the shape of a narrative, a character to care about, suspension of belief, using less, media metaphors are story techniques that you can integrate into your work as educators. While technology provides plenty of tools to tell stories, more compelling is what they afford us to practice and develop our own skills of making and incorporating story not only into teaching, but many forms of expression. I will share my own experiments in improvisation (pechaflickr), visual storytelling (Five Card Flickr Stories), a method hidden within a list of tools (50 Web Ways to Tell a Story), and online teaching (ds106) -- not as magic answers but perhaps a way of thinking about story elements beyond the performance aspect.
Keynote for 2014 Riding the Wave for Change Conference, GImli, Manitoba
People consume information on the web differently than traditional media. In an era of information overload we’ve become “grazers” of content, skimming digital channels for nuggets of information. More than ever, it’s important for individuals and organizations to be able to present ideas in a manner that can be quickly consumed, understood and remembered.
The Power of Infographics is a presentation that digs into visual thinking, how organizations can learn to present their ideas visually and how infographics can be used to help achieve some common business
objectives.

Create, Learn and Connect through Digital StoriesDimitris Tzouris
Presented at the 2nd Global Education Conference.
Nov. 15, 2011
Presenters: Lydia Roupakia, English Teacher and Dimitris Tzouris, Instructional Technologist
This presentation is about a project for the 3rd form English class, where students get to create short digital stories instead of a paper for the class. The stories are then being shared with the world, where anyone can comment and discuss. The project lasts for a month and includes learning about copyright, creative commons licences and fair use. Students also learn where and how to find images and music they can re-use and remix for their stories. The students work in groups and can come up with any story, real or fictitious. They can also narrate a script (up to a page long) or simply use music and text on the images. The project is being coached by the English teacher and an Instructional Technologist.
A series of stories woven together to start a conversation with high school students about living our lives on & offline (on The Fourth Screen) more thoughtfully.
This talk focuses primarily on the ideas of Empathy & Empowerment.

Taming Information Chaos with the Power of 2.0Judy O'Connell
Web 2.0 provides ways to filter, streamline, organise, share, distribute or gather information from the burgeoning information jungle. With the power of 2.0 the information revolution can be tamed. Teachers can learn new ways to incorporate search strategies into their personal information-seeking toolkits and then work with students to weave deeper understandings of how to find information right into the fabric of their learning. In a learning environment where writing, reflecting, creating and collaborating are driving authentic engagement with content, searching and researching has to encompass multi-literacies and information fluency in the process. It’s time to challenge the old standards of ‘search’. With all our experience as teachers, we are novices in the information revolution. It’s not a one-size-fits-all environment, and the myriad of choices, tools and techniques we could customise for our professional purposes need explanation and elaboration to understand how to be a confident, efficient and effective news and knowledge curators. This session will show how connecting, collaborating and networking are dependent on knowledge filters and information search techniques that allow teachers to become extraordinary information architects in charge of their own knowledge work, ready to mentor and support the learning of their students.

Enquire Within Upon Everything: True Stories of the Wondrous WebAlan Levine
Keynote presentation for the eLearning Consortium of Colorado 2014 conference -- their 25th year of the conference; the firs took place a month after Tim Berners-Lee got approval for his World Wide Web project.
A Victorian era book represented the best technology of its time to organize, via a crude hypertext system, a collection of world knowledge. In the hands of a young boy growing up in the 1960s, it inspired a spirit of magic, wonder, and the vision of an open portal to the world of information. As an adult, he invented the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee's original vision was of "the Web being so generally used that it became a realistic mirror of the ways in which we work and play and socialize. That was that once the state of our interactions was on line, we could then use computers to help us analyse it, make sense of what we are doing, where we individually fit in, and how we can better work together."
As an open, connected space, the web remains a near infinite place we ought to revel that same wonder. Our educational careers begin in kindergarten, knowing intrinsically the value of sharing. Somewhere between there and graduate school, we lose track of this simple concept, be it worrying about theft of intellectual property or questioning the value of what we do. The open ecology of an Enquire Within Upon Everything web can undermine this limiting attitude and rekindle that sense of wonder. It's all about creating more potential serendipity. Let's celebrate the True Stories of what happens when educators share something openly on the web.

The ds106 Files: Outbreaks of Infectious and Open Acts of CreativityAlan Levine
Keynote presentation for TechFest 2013, University of Alaska-Fairbanks http://www.alaska.edu/oit/techfest/
While much of higher education seems hunkered down in crises of a broken system or MOOC takeover, reports are filtering in from the distal portions of the internet where open, spontaneous, volunteered acts of creative expression seem to be spreading at alarming rates. These reports have been traced to a loose federation of registered students, teachers, and openly participating individuals of all ages in something known as ds106, an open course in digital storytelling. Patient Zero has been traced to students at the University of Mary Washington, but activity has spread to multiple institutions, K-12 schools, retirees, artists, and people of various affiliations across North America, Europe, Africa, and Australasia. The report highlights the manifestations of this creativity in individually managed internet domains and self-hosted blogs, demonstrated in visual, audio, video, and remixed media, extensively reflected upon. Intense activity has been spotted in blog comments, twitter, Google Plus, and social media platforms, including the current incarnation as a "headless" course. The most intense focus areas are around atypical course constructs of daily creative challenges, a web-based radio station, and an open assignment bank.
It is likely some of you will be affected by contact with this information and may end up devoting time to creating animated GIFs, remixed movie trailers, and radio shows.
Keynote presentation for the 2013 TCC World Online Conference
Dim the lights, cue the music, roll the open credits… but the ds106 show is not where the audience just sits quietly in their seats. You will not only learn how this open online course in digital storytelling works, but have a chance to try a few of the creative challenges and assignments we give to our students.
Digital storytelling 106 (ds106) offers a versatile opportunity to create a learning community. This open online course in digital storytelling is part of a networked architecture built of participants’ own blogs to which our web site subscribes and shares back content published by individuals. Special features of ds106 include an open assignment bank that participants populate, a daily creative challenge, and even its own internet-based radio station.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
