Landscape of the Future: Open Content, Open Knowledge, Open SharingBrandon Muramatsu
OERs are educational resources--textbooks, instructional modules, simulations, multimedia applications--that are freely available for use, reuse, adaptation, and sharing. They are usually released under a Creative Commons or similar license that supports open or nearly open use of the content. OERs expand access to high-quality instructional resources in formal and informal learning environments and can drive innovation to support and enhance teaching. Educators can endorse, adopt, and improve OERs, resulting in instructional materials and resources that embody what the educational community deems most valuable. Learners can access OERs to direct their own learning. The presenters will introduce and review the OER movement, and highlight several OER initiatives--such as MIT's OpenCourseWare project, the Open University's Open Learn, and Open Learning: Bridge to Success.

Surround School is a platform that provides a collection of applications that allow teachers to harness the power of digital learning to provide students a guiding path through the labyrinth of digital content on the Internet.
Just like several categories of applications that help manage various functions in organizations, there is a category of applications for digital learning known as Learning Management Systems (LMS). Surround School is essentially an LMS. With a difference.
First, it is extraordinarily easy to use.
Second, it uses Concept Maps, an approach that is proven to enhance learning.
Third, it provides an intelligent content aggregation and classification engine that makes the vast repository of digital learning content highly manageable.
We call it a Dynamic LMS. Because it has this unique ability to determine what you are teaching or learning and accordingly recommend digital learning content to you from your private collection or from open education resources.
Other than these distinctive features, it also provides a host of other features that make us want to call it a Social Learning Ecosystem.
You can share courses and content, rank and rate courses by relevance and difficulty, create learning groups and stay in touch with fellow students, teachers and experts to get clarifications or have a simulating discussion.
And finally, it utilizes cutting-edge technology to a maximum, making for a highly interactive and fun experience for students across multiple devices, including computers, tablets, mobile phones and television.
The Surround School platform is a combination of four products:
One, the core product, KnowledgeWheels, which allows users to define course outlines or learning paths using the Concept Map approach. This is a highly interactive app and makes creating a learning path and attaching content very easy. KnowledgeWheels also have an assessment engine that allow users to be measure their understanding of the subject covered in the Wheel and also allow teachers to grade students.
Two, KnowledgeWeb, which allows users to find highly relevant and quality content using the sophisticated search algorithm with a focused taxonomy classification system.
Three, KnowledgeNet, which allows users to create Groups and share courses with Groups. User can also create Wheels collaboratively (for example, a group of students working on a class project).
And Four, the School Management system that allows the faculty and administrators in an institution to maintain various aspects of an academic environment, including student details, academic term and class details, class allocation, scoring systems and academic calendars.
The School management system also includes a Reporting feature that generates score and activity reports for faculty and parents.
The innovation du jour for teaching and learning, OERs are at their core of some of the largest grant-funding sources for new courses and course materials— including the Department of Labor's TAA grant which provides $2billion for community colleges and workforce development. What are OERs? What makes them unique? A phrase that was coined in 2002 at a UNESCO forum, OERs are defined as “educational resources—lesson plans, quizzes, syllabi, instructional modules, simulations, etc.—that are freely-available for use, reuse, adaptation, and sharing.” Why should faculty and educational technologists care?
This workshop is designed for faculty and educational technologists using existing and developing new OERs, but elements will be useful for administrators who have faculty and staff who are using or developing OERs. Attend this workshop to: understand the OER landscape; learn how to find, critically evaluate and use OERs developed by others; identify and select open educational resources for use in discipline-specific courses; understand Creative Commons licenses; learn what resources exist for developing and/or adopting OERs; and learn about the issues involved in adopting OERs and localizing them.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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).
