The National Science Foundationâs (NSF) Broader Impacts Criterion asks scientists to frame their research beyond âscience for scienceâs sake.â Examining data and data management through a Broader Impacts lens highlights the benefits of good data management, data management plans (DMPs), and strengthens the argument for better Data Information Literacy (DIL) in the sciences.
Ethiopian Pastoral Research and Devlopment network by daniel temesgenDaniel Temesgen
Â
The Ethiopian Pastoral Research and Development Network (EPRDN) which is currently hosted by Haramaya University was established under the terms and conditions stated in Memorandum of Understanding which was signed by the different universities; pastoral research institutes and
development partners on October 25th , 2011 at Dire Dawa University. The Network was established with the aim of building and enhancing the capacity of stakeholders adapt and respond to emerging issues; changing circumstances and challenges; mobilizing and sharing resources among member organizations for coordinated research and development in pastoral areas; facilitating exchange of knowledge, skills and information on regular basis; creating a platform for designing and implementing training programs in pastoral development and support the process of pastoral- oriented curriculum development; and facilitate dissemination of technology packages and provide consultation and evidence based advice to end users.

Â
Aim of this paper is to present results from the EU Knowledge Transfer Study 2010-2012 and put them in the context of the Knowledge Spillover Theory of Entrepreneurship (KSTE).
Findings are based on the questionnaire send to the Public Research Organisations (PRO) in 28 EU Member States and survey has to be fulfilled by the recommendation requirement that Member States should âinform the Commission by 15 July 2010 and every two years thereafter of measures taken on the basis of this Recommendation, as well as their impactâ.
Twitter and Teaching: to Tweet or not to Tweet?Sergej Lugovic
Â
As increasingly more new skills are necessary for graduates entering the workplace or seeking employment, business leaders, politicians and educators suggest that if students are to succeed in today's world, they will require 21st century skills. However, there is no single agreed-upon set of skills. We argue that social media skills are becoming ever more important for employment and society should class them as important 21st-century skills from maintaining well-rounded social media profiles to more advanced data science and analytic skills. At the same time, such a demand affects the teaching process since teachers have to acquire new knowledge about the available tools. Twitter as a microblogging platform is definitely one of the tools that is a part of 21st-century social skills. Thus, by integrating it into the teaching process, Twitter can generate new experiences for both sides, the students and the teachers. In this paper, we conduct a descriptive review of the recent literature that covers Twitter use in teaching. We reviewed results from the top 100 retrieved research results in Web of Science on Twitter and teaching in the domains of social science, science technology, and arts and humanities. We analysed the results quantitatively in terms of content, methods, and methodologies and qualitatively as the description of results found in selected papers that meet certain criteria. This paper also discusses different research departure points for use in further research of the topic.

A ceLTIc project webinar. The ceLTIc project shows how to enable LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) connectors to build a flexible infrastructure.This session will discuss how the JISC-funded ceLTIc:sharing project is evaluating the use of LTI to provide a shared service for institutions interested in evaluating WebPA. It will include a demonstration of linking to the tool from Blackboard Learn 9 and Moodle, as well as how the outcomes service along with the unofficial memberships and setting extensions are being used to enhance this integration in a VLE-independent way.

NITLE Shared Academics: Examining IT and Library Service ConvergenceNITLE
Â
Colleges and universities face a variety of pressures. Two pressure points are adjusting to the evolving landscape of higher education and using finite resources efficiently and effectively. Technology-enhanced âflippedâ classrooms, the rise of digital scholarship, and a keener focus on assessment are examples of the former. Space, time, money, and staff expertise are examples of the latter. These pressures become even more pointed at smaller institutions. How have academic library and information technology organizations been contributing toward effective solutions? Some have embraced a path toward greater convergence of IT and library services. Has doing so enabled institutions to adjust sooner and more quickly to shifts in our higher education environment? Has it stimulated innovation? Has it helped eliminate duplicative effort?
NITLE Shared Academics seminar leader Terry Metz delves into these questions, explores why and how the work of technologists and librarians is growing more and more similar, and highlights some colleges that have aligned technology and library talent in more integrated ways. Examine the benefits and challenges of converging IT and library services and consider future implications.

The Knowledge Exchange is a partnership of six national
organisations within Europe. As part of its ambition to make
Open Scholarship work, the Knowledge Exchange has developed
a Framework for Open Scholarship. This sets out the different
phases in the research life cycle against a variety of perspectives
that present barriers/challenges for Science/Scholarship to
be open, at the same time acknowledging that there are many
levels of stakeholders, reaching from individual researchers to
institutions to national governments. In this talk the presenters
will explain the partnership and share their recent report and
current work around Open Scholarship.

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become commonplace entities in all aspects of life. In the 21st century world is moving rapidly into digital media and information, so the role of ICT in education is very important .Higher education in the country is experiencing a major transformation in terms of access, equity and quality. ICT helps to share availability of best practices and best course material in education. ICT based education causes changes in the educational objectives in the conception of the teaching and learning process. In this regard the paper addresses the integration of ICTs in various aspects of higher education in the present scenario.

Open Access in Practice: A Practical Guide for ResearchersMichelle Willmers
Â
Open Access has become mainstream. We hear a lot of talk about it, but are often not sure how it really affects us as South African researchers or how much agency we have in the context of increasingly competitive research environments. How do you balance imperatives around increasing access to your work with institutional pressures to publish in high-status journals? This presentation will provide some practical pointers on how you can take steps to be more proactive in addressing your visibility, curating your outputs, and managing your intellectual property rights for maximum impact and visibility. Presentation delivered to the South African Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) as part of its Open Access Week 2014 proceedings.
