¿Cómo hacer que nuestra organización aprenda? En una época de sobreabundancia de información y conexiones resulta clave pensar en el rezago que existe entre las necesidades que demanda una sociedad en red y la resistencia al cambio que afecta a muchas organizaciones. En esta exploración no sólo analizaremos la resistencia al cambio en una era de hiper-conectividad, sino que haremos un zoom a aquellas experiencias que han marcado la diferencia. Para ello, se plantea un travelling de tendencias que incluye la apertura radical al conocimiento (open innovation y crowdsourcing); nuevas formas de identificar habilidades (knoweldge broker en Mozilla y LinkedIn); nuevos perfiles (desing thinkers en Google); nuevas formas de actualización vía cursos masivos abiertos (el caso de Yahoo); nuevas tipologías de habilidades (soft skills en Samsung); entre otros. Esta presentación ofrece un radar de tendencias y buenas prácticas que se convierten en aceleradores del cambio organizacional.

Is the connected company just a far vision or existing reality? Why is it relevant for Marketing? What challenges are waiting on the way to become a connected company?
These questions aren't quite new, neither are the answers. But nowadays the customers act and communicate in different ways than in the past. They want you to solve their problems on every channel you can imagine. You have to shine on every touchpoint and integrate their ideas.
To manage and handle all these information it's necessary to be well connected within your company. But not all companies are on the same level yet. There are many ways to become a "Connected Company" but you have to overcome hurdles and master challenges.
In the session we had a short view on how a connected company can look like and some factors to succeed.

Education-to-work transitions in the digital content industries: A Web 2.0 cr...Jennifer Tan
The digital content industries in many countries have seen significant growth over the past decade. This knowledge-intensive sector relies on highly skilled human capital but is often challenged by skills and labour shortages, in turn exacerbated by a lack of high quality industry-ready graduates. This presentation first foregrounds some of the key challenges associated with education-to-work transitions encountered by emerging creative graduates in the digital content industries. It then proceeds to document the design and implementation of an innovative Web 2.0 creative ecology known as ‘60sox’. The potential and challenges of the '60sox' virtual community of practice for enhancing social capital and enabling successful education-to-work transitions among emerging creatives in the digital content industries are highlighted and discussed.

digital scholarship: how open publication and co-creation could transform sci...@cristobalcobo
According to Wikipedia: Open science is the umbrella term of the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research, campaigning for open access, encouraging scientists to practice open notebook science, and generally making it easier to publish and communicate scientific knowledge.
Here (in this remixed on purpose) we will explore some of the key dimensions and opportunities behind the open science and its opportunities for digital scholars.
What role do “power learners” play in online learning communities?@cristobalcobo
This study focusses on the role of highly active participants in online learning communities on Facebook. These people, often known as “power users” in the literature on social computing, are a common feature of a wide range of online learning groups, and are responsible not only for creating most of the content but also for getting discussion going and providing a basis for other’s participation. We test whether similar dynamics hold true in the context of online learning.
Based on a transactional dataset of almost 10,000 interactions with an online community of 32 postgraduate students who were following the same online course, we find evidence that power users also exist in the context of online learning. However, whilst they do create a lot of content, we find that they are not fundamental to keeping the group together, and in fact are less adept at creating content which generates responses than other “normal” users. This suggests that online learning communities may have different dynamics to other types of electronic community: it also suggests that design efforts should not be focused solely on attracting a small core of “power learners”. Rather, diverse types of users are needed for online learning communities to survive and prosper.

Skills for innovation: Learner-centered design a key challenge for the 21st c...@cristobalcobo
Since for many people, life in the 21st Century has become international, multicultural and inter-connected, new skills are needed to succeed in education. In this talk, different understandings of so-called 21st Century skills are explored. This session discusses some of the key conditions needed to develop skills for innovation and analyses relevant trends that stimulate the development of these skills within and outside formal educational settings. Key elements include: the mismatch between formal education and the challenges of an innovative society; the shift from-what-we-learn to how-we-learn; the fluctuating relationship between digital technologies and contents; the changing conceptions of space-time and the emphasis on lifelong learning; and the development of soft skills. Finally, this talk will emphasise that the augmented learning and the development of skills for innovation are critical aspects for the future of education.

Cars, Castles, and Spas | Rob Maigret | UX Week 2012Adaptive Path
A long awaited user experience.
From the time he was in his teens, Rob had heard about the lucky few who traveled to Germany to pick up their brand new Porsche automobiles at the factory and take them for an extended drive on the autobahn at great speeds. On the journey, they enjoyed beautiful scenery and Euro-luxury before having their cars shipped to the states for a much more prosaic driving experience. This year, he finally decided to check it out for himself. Maybe someday you will, too. Maybe you won’t. But either way, in terms of UX, this might be is as serious as it gets for fully experiencing a brand at its core.
And hearing about it can be….well….. almost as fun.
Blended teaching: Remote English instruction in Uruguay@cristobalcobo
Seminar: "From Good Intentions to Real Outcomes: Equity by Design in Learning Technologies". Presented at the Data & Society a research institute focused on the social and cultural issues arising from data-centric technological development (https://datasociety.net) Friday, February 10, 2017
Plot: The project implemented by Plan Ceibal in Uruguay allows primary school children between fourth and sixth grades to have three 45 minute slots per week of English: one taught by a remote teacher, model of language and in charge of introducing and explaining the linguistic content corresponding to each week through his remote presence via videoconference equipment; and two forty-five-minute slots with the classroom teacher, who following the lesson plans sent to her every week, may review, accompany and guide her students in the learning of English. Coherence between remote lessons and face to face lessons is ensured by a half hour virtual coordination between the two teachers involved in the learning process, in which concerns, learning and teaching styles are discussed (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceibal_project#English_project )

I grandi cambiamenti avvenuti negli ultimi decenni hanno modificato i sistemi di riferimento e di interpretazione del mondo contemporaneo. Allo stesso tempo, la riflessione sul futuro delle nostre società e civiltà diventa sempre più urgente, perché un mondo globalizzato come il nostro ha bisogno non solo di identificare le tendenze che guidano i suoi cambiamenti, ma anche di intervenire attraverso processi di innovazione avanzati nella configurazione di quell'orizzonte.
Questa lezione è pertanto orientata a offrire una riflessione su cosa significa lavorare all'interno di una logica di sistema e a istituire approcci transdisciplinari alla comprensione delle tendenze per sviluppare capacità di soluzioni alternative.

‘From the lab into the real world’ [A User-Centered Approach]@cristobalcobo
This presentation aims to understand and promote benefits of user-centricity and user-cantered innovation in industries. This approach is transforming the value chain and business models traditional with an offer that is towards “instant custom” for the consumer on the one hand, and an allocation of value between institutional and private.
This is not just a living lab approach (although some lessons can be learnt) but a complex endeavour requiring deeper technology integration, business models with broader range of stakeholders and user populations with socio-economic diversity representing communities across Europe and beyond.

How smart are smart classrooms? Evaluating International Evidence@cristobalcobo
There has been a considerable progress in integrating technological innovations to facilitate the learning process. This has a potentially important implications on student’s learning process as well as the role of teachers. SMART Classroom is a machine-assisted educational platform developed in Korea that allows learners to study at their own pace while teachers play a role as advisers, coaches and facilitators. Artificial intelligence allows for identification of optimal lessons based on learning algorithms and patterns of individual learning.

This presentation summarizes some of the key trends in the changing ecosystem of higher education. Rather than a particular adoption of certain technology, a novel certificate or a new business model, what we explore is how the disintermediation of education is changing the boundaries, strategies and infrastructure of universities. The complex phenomena of 'uberization' of education offer new opportunities as well a number of deep redefinitions. What is clear is learners are in charge and education institutions are invited to re-think some of their traditional strategies.
This presentation was prepared for the 8th ENQA General Assembly (European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education) in Sèvres, France, on 26-27 October 2017, hosted by the Centre International d’Etudes Pédagogiques (CIEP).

Computational Participation: Towards a National EducationPolicy in Uruguay ...@cristobalcobo
L@S: Fourth Annual ACM Conference on Learning at Scale
April 20 – 21, 2017 @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology
organized with the Association for Computing Machinery (www.acm.org).
In 2007, Plan Ceibal became the first nationwide ubiquitous educational computer program in the world based on the 1:1 model. It is one of the most important programs implemented by Uruguay’s Government to minimize digital divide and is based upon three pillars: equity, learning and technology. As of 2007, Plan Ceibal has covered public schools, providing every student and teacher in kindergarten, primary and middle school with a laptop or tablet and internet access in the school, as well as a comprehensive set of educational software platforms.
Plan Ceibal reached 85% of the students in Uruguay (100% of public education 1 to 9 grades students) reducing significantly the digital divide between the “have” and the “have-nots”.
After the massive deployment of devices, platforms and connectivity, as well as educational resources, now the focus is particularly on teachers training, development of new pedagogies as well as a new culture for understanding teaching and learning (i.e. new pedagogies for deep learning). This presentation summarize the "computational thinking" and the "maker culture" promoted by this public policy in Uruguay.

A Global Network for Deep Learning: the Case of Uruguay@cristobalcobo
The aim of this paper is to describe an innovative large-scale action research in the field of education. This paper illustrates a unique sample of a global network of schools working together as a "living lab" to test, implement and improve innovative pedagogical practices in seven different countries (clusters). This experience can be regarded as a disruptive experiment from the methodological (i.e. network of schools), pedagogical (i.e. learning by creating) and accountability perspective (i.e. novel ways of assessing learning outcomes). This global network allocates special relevance to the cultural and contextual specificities of each member. This paper focuses on the Uruguayan case, the only non-developed partner country, which is working in incorporating up to 2,800 schools in this global network by the end of 2019. After providing a background and key figures of the current education system in Uruguay, the authors describe the outcomes of this experience so far (2013- 2016) and highlight some of the expected achievements and instruments to assess the second phase of this experience (2016-2019), with special emphasis in the design of new metrics and the adoption of new assessment tools. After stating the conclusions, the paper points out the limitations and further questions to be explored along the implementation of this global experiment in education.

Hacia la construcción de un perfil en 360 grados de los usuarios del @Plan_Ce...@cristobalcobo
El Plan Ceibal se ha convertido en una poderosa plataforma para extender y ampliar las oportunidades de enseñanza y aprendizaje de los estudiantes de educación pública en Uruguay. El uso tanto de los dispositivos (tablets y laptops) como de la infraestructura (red y softwares) registra volúmenes de demanda sin precedentes. Por otra parte, los datos que Plan Ceibal administra integran fuentes de información relacionadas con la gestión escolar, la administración de las plataformas tecnológicas así como la utilización de numerosas herramientas y aplicaciones educativas. Este tsunami de datos es una cantera de valiosísima información para apoyar la educación.
Pensando en el grado de uso de las plataformas educativas que ofrece Plan Ceibal, es posible crear un indicador de “participación en línea” (engagement) como resultado del nivel de actividad e interacción de los propios estudiantes en dos plataformas: PAM (plataforma adaptativa de matemáticas) y CREA2 (learning management system). ¿Cuáles son los perfiles de “participación” de los sujetos? ¿Estos perfiles responden algún patrón de clasificación socio-económica o geográfica? ¿Cuál es el perfil de participación de los docentes en cada una de estas plataformas? ¿Se identifica consistencia en el tipo de uso de estas plataformas? ¿En qué medida es posible encontrar correlaciones entre el grado de “participación en línea” de los estudiantes y su participación (asistencia) en clases presenciales? Estas y otras interrogantes serán analizadas durante la presentación.

La expansión de los modelos 1 a 1 en la región más el incremento del consumo de otros dispositivos móviles como tabletas y celulares configuran una nueva forma de presencialidad en la vida cotidiana que desafía las categorías modernas de tiempo y espacio. Esta realidad supone un desafío para repensar nociones como “conocimiento” y “aprendizaje” y, en consecuencia, los formatos institucionales y las nuevas formas de producción y circulación de los contenidos educativos.
Algunos interrogantes para pensar la temática: ¿Hasta qué punto los nuevos recursos y sus dispositivos configuran nuevas formas de diseñar procesos pedagógicos? ¿Cómo se definen los procesos m-learning y cuáles son los aportes a los procesos formativos? ¿Existe una nueva ecología de las instituciones? ¿qué aportan las licencias de libre circulación a las instituciones educativas? ¿Cómo lograr la construcción de una red sustentable de colaboración entre todos los actores para favorecer el uso de las herramientas tecnológicas y la durabilidad necesaria?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.
