Benefits and challenges of OER for higher education institutionsMichael Paskevicius
The emergence of teaching materials and processes as open educational resources (OER) in higher education in the 21st century is part of the much larger social movement towards ‘opening up’ what was previously ‘closed’ to all except a limited number of people who paid for access to or use of information and services. Initially OER was understood as sharing specific ‘products’, but it now thought of as including the underlying pedagogical ‘practices’.
That academics and student tutors want to share their intellectual capital openly with the rest of the world is at the heart of the OER movement. Archer’s (2003) notion of the ‘active agent’, offers some insight into why academics (or students) in HEIs may decide to (or not) use and share OER, and how they might respond in an institutional environment which inhibits or encourages the practice of
sharing.
What are the benefits and challenges of using Open Educational Resources (OER)? This presentation will outline five benefits and five challenges and provide a quick glimpse into the possible future of OER.

"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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
2. Students Benefit from OER
• Spend less money on class materials
A course can either reduce the cost of supplemental materials or eliminate the textbook cost
altogether.
• Reduces stress
No waiting for a financial aid payment or payday to purchase materials.
No waiting in the long lines at the bookstore or waiting from the Amazon shipment to arrive.
• Increases success
Material is available on day one, no need to play “catch up” because your material is there
for you from the start!
• Learning from different perspectives
The instructor can use several authors and resources so multiple perspectives to the material
can be used.
• More than a book to read
OER materials are available in multiple medias making learning more than just reading.
3. Instructors Benefit from OER
• Share with other instructors
OER provides the opportunity to share with peers, inside and outside your institution.
• Reduces stress
There is no need to “reinvent the wheel,” materials are readily available in a number of
subjects.
No need to worry about students asking to submit late assignments due to textbooks not
being available on the first day of class.
No need to make concessions for students who are waiting for money to purchase class
materials.
• Increases engagement
Materials are available in video, pictures, audio, and text. Mix-up the media used and capture
more student interest.
• Improve curriculum
OER allows for picking and choosing curriculum. Instructors are no longer “chained” to the
“ok” textbook layout and material but can choose curriculum from a variety of authors better
suited to meet the course objectives.
4. Students Challenges with OER
• The textbook structure is gone
Students who like to have materials, in hard copy, and all together in a book, may have a bit
of a challenge switching to either online resources or multiple handouts.
Students who do not have Internet or high speed Internet will be at a disadvantage in
accessing materials and/or watching videos
• Change is a challenge for many
Students can be creatures of habit (we all can be) and may have a learning curve in adapting
to this new way of obtaining course material.
5. Faculty Challenges with OER
• Time, time, time
It is time consuming to change curriculum.
Until using OER materials become “second nature” it will take more time to find and revise/
develop the curriculum for a class.
Ensuring proper licensing conditions are followed can be time consuming.
• Change is a challenge for many
The idea of leaving behind publisher notes, quizzes, and a standard text can be
overwhelming.
• Curriculum challenges
If using links, the links will need to be checked frequently to ensure they are still active and
correct.
Content found could be outdated and need major revisions.
Content found could need modifications and the licensing may prevent modifications.
Finding curriculum, in some disciplines, can be challenging.
Letting go of “it’s mine” and sharing curriculum is a new way of thinking, for many educators.
