The Community Board: Building Local Communitybalchenn
In the Capstone project for my Masters in Human Computer Interaction Design at Indiana University, I worked on designing technology to promote interaction between
people in a neighborhood. The concept consists of a website and public displays that make people aware
of each other and activities in the neighborhood.

Challenges to Participation in the Sharing Economy / Airi Lampinen / Open Com...airilmpnn
Talk at Open Commons Kongress 2015 in Linz, Austria
Abstract:
The sharing economy is an emerging phenomenon that encompasses the use of networked tools to enable a range of social and economic exchanges, such as hospitality exchange, ridesharing, and recycling of goods. Moreover, the sharing economy reconfigures social life in urban settings. It affects not only those who take part but also those who are excluded or do not wish to participate. Based on a series of empirical studies of non-monetary and monetary forms of peer-to-peer exchange, this talk addresses challenges to participation in network hospitality (Airbnb, Couchsurfing) and local online exchange (Sharetribe) — even when the potential benefits are considered desirable and necessary. The talk complicates the dominant narrative of the sharing economy as an accessible and convenient alternative for traditional markets by highlighting issues as diverse as fear of indebtedness and tendency to socialize with those similar to oneself.

What is Second Life and how can it be used for building community and providing advising and student support for distance education students? Penn State World Campus has developed a virtual “island” where distance education students can access resources and create a community with other students. Higher education relies on students making a connection with the university and Second Life has the potential to foster such connections for distance education students.

Paper presentation at CSCW 2015 conference.
Abstract below, for full paper, see: goo.gl/qxD1FO
For further publications, see: airilampinen.fi/publications
"We present a qualitative study of hospitality exchange processes that take place via the online peer-to-peer platform Airbnb. We explore 1) what motivates individuals to monetize network hospitality and 2) how the presence of money ties in with the social interaction related to network hospitality. We approach the topic from the perspective of hosts -- that is, Airbnb users who participate by offering accommodation for other members in exchange for monetary compensation. We found that participants were motivated to monetize network hospitality for both financial and social reasons. Our analysis indicates that the presence of money can provide a helpful frame for network hospitality, supporting hosts in their efforts to accomplish desired sociability, select guests consistent with their preferences, and control the volume and type of demand. We conclude the paper with a critical discussion of the implications of our findings for network hospitality and, more broadly, for the so-called sharing economy."

Second-level Digital Divide and experiences of Schools and TeachersLiwayway Memije-Cruz
The second-level digital divide, is referred to as the production gap, and it describes the gap that separates the consumers of content on the Internet from the producers of content.
Trust between inhabitants in a neighbourhood is not something that is naturally anymore.
People in the neighbourhood know each other less, move more often, have different
backgrounds and spend more time in places other then the neighbourhood...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
