This document discusses innovations in teaching and research across disciplines. It suggests that new technologies are enabling new ways of telling stories, engaging audiences, conducting research, and collaborating across fields. Bending involves tweaking existing approaches, blending combines multiple sources, and breaking involves completely restructuring curricula or models. Challenges include keeping up with changes, embracing risks, and preparing students for a changing world. Resources are provided for staying aware of emerging trends.

Educating for Social Participation: Open Data as Open Educational ResourcesJaviera Atenas
Presentation for #OEGlobal in Kraków, Poland
If one of our goals as educators is to develop these transversal skills in students, towards enabling them to function as citizens, to actively participate in the discourse and debates of society, then we propose that Open Data can play a key role. Open Data is produced and used at various levels in research, governance, policy making and civil society. In educational and academic contexts, Open Data can be understood and used as an Open Educational Resource (OER) to help support the engagement of students and researchers in analysing and collaborating towards finding solutions for contemporary real-world problems, chiefly by embedding Open Data and Open Science principles in research-based, scenario-led activities. In this way, students can experience working with the same raw materials scientists and policy-makers use.
Seven Tales of learning online with emerging technologiesGeorge Veletsianos
During the last few years, emerging technologies and online learning have dominated narratives regarding the future of education and the potential role that technology may play in education. Are we reaching a point where "anyone can learn anything from anyone else at any time?" Or, are Google, Facebook, and Twitter "infantilizing our minds," distracting us from meaningful learning and purposeful living? As societies, governments, and other social groups adapt and change over time, so do institutions of learning, the work that they do, and how they do that work. In this presentation, I will share seven research-based stories describing the integration of emerging technologies in learning environments. These stories paint an intricate picture of online learning with emerging technologies and demonstrate how (a) emerging learning technologies have impacted educational practice, (b) the use of emerging technologies “on the ground” is often negotiated and contested, and (c) a “culture of sharing” may be finding increasing acceptance in education under emerging phenomena such as Massive Open Online Courses, Open Educational Resources, and social media use by scholars. These stories highlight how learning and education are (and are not) changing with the emergence of certain technologies, social behaviors, and cultural expectations.

Open Space Session notes: Mapping the Systems of Science and TechnologyKennan Salinero
'Mapping the Systems of Science and Technology: Assessing Tools for Teamwork' represents the next stage in convening critical conversations for the future of science via Yámana Science and Technology's Science 'UnSummit' working conferences. The first were held during the USA Science and Engineering Festival - in 2010 looking at the topic of 'Shifting the Effort/Reward Ratio in Science' and in 2012 'Innovation - a Global Conversation.' We explore current data, successful initiatives and emergent trends from various science and technology oriented domains, in a cross-functional/cross-sector setting. We utilize Open Space sessions, where participants convene discussions around topic areas of greatest interest and urgency to them.

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.

Editor's Notes
Excited that Innovation was the Common Experience theme
My career has been focused around Innovation – teaching courses on digital media skills and concepts, introducing advanced coding and data principles in media courses
We developed a new undergraduate degree in digital media innovation which has more than 266 students currently enrolled and have improved and advanced our graduate digital media emphasis. Our grads now work as web producers, web developers, social media editors and product managers at New York Times, Spredfast, HomeAway, SXSW, Zenoss, USAA and lead digital strategy at various places including Texas Restaurant Association, Edelman Digital.
We launched the Media Innovation Lab in 2016, and I'll discuss some of those projects throughout this presentation.

Technology innovations introduce not only new skills, but also judgment around applications, ethics and effects.
Innovations aren't necessarily flashes of brilliance. They are more likely the result of "riffing" on the past and making connections – bending, breaking, blending
Digital media affect all disciplines in how they communicate – engagement, data, algorithms
Ways in which we seek information and forge social connections and create culture have changed. But those basic needs have not changed.
Every discipline has problems that can be approached with technology. But tech skills need to be taught and studied in context.
New skills and concepts
Lifelong learning
Experience learning
New roles for educators
Existing methods are applied to new platforms
Discuss challenges
New methods are developed to address new dynamics
"We show how representatives at these firms serve as quasi-digital consultants to campaigns, shaping digital strategy, content, and execution. Given this, we argue that political communication scholars need to consider social media firms as more active agents in political processes than previously appreciated in the literature."
Coding and media; media has always done this, with photography, videography and even the English language. Now it's with programming.
