Op donderdag 1 november gaven KL'ers Nikki Timmermans en Paul Keller een workshop open data op de netwerkdag van het netwerk Oorlogsbronnen http://www.oorlogsbronnen.nl/agenda/netwerkdag, georganiseerd door het NIOD Instituut voor Oorlogs-, Holocast- en Genocidestudies in de Openbare Bibliotheek in Amsterdam.
Het Netwerk Oorlogsbronnen heeft als doel het gebruik van Tweede Wereldoorlog-collecties in Nederland te stimuleren. Tijdens de netwerkdag werd de vernieuwde portal http://www.oorlogsbronnen.nl/ gelanceerd. Via één digitale zoekingang biedt het Netwerk toegang aan professionele onderzoekers en het brede publiek tot de aangesloten collecties.
Met het oog op de toekomst schetsten Timmermans en Keller mogelijkheden en onmogelijkheden voor het vrij beschikbaar stellen en uitwisselen van data en gingen zij in gesprek met de deelnemers.
The document discusses the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) use of open source software. It describes how CARB has found open source to be reliable, secure, and cost-effective. It provides examples of how CARB has implemented open source solutions like Linux, Apache, and PHP that have resulted in significant cost savings compared to proprietary alternatives. It also notes trends in growing adoption of open source software by organizations and businesses.
Hoe werkt de methode Feed Forward Stories voor onderzoek doen en beleidmaken voor maatschappelijke vraagstukken? Op 1 oktober presenteerde Kennisland de tussentijdse resultaten van jongLAB: een social lab om leef- en systeemwereld rond jongeren in Nijmegen dichterbij elkaar te brengen.
This document summarizes and critiques a scientific journal article on biological determinism and homosexuality. It discusses how claims of biological bases for differences in gender and sexuality have historically been used to justify social hierarchies. The document then analyzes a specific study on differences in the corpus callosum between men and women, arguing it was based on a small sample size and its findings were contradicted by later studies with better methodologies. Finally, it closely examines and critiques a study on brain differences between heterosexual and homosexual men, identifying flaws in its premises, sample size, and conclusions.
The document provides information about the ITMS Media Center. It introduces the staff members Ms. Campana, Ms. Lynn, and Mr. Jimmy. It lists the rules as being responsible, respectful, resourceful, and being a reader. Students can check out up to 2 books for 2 weeks and renew if needed. Books are returned by dropping them in boxes. Students need their ID card to check out materials. Picture day for ID cards is August 31. The Destiny system is used to check books in and out. Replacement ID cards cost $5.
The document discusses the state of public education funding in Florida. It notes that the Florida Constitution mandates that the state provide adequate funding for public schools. However, funding has been cut in recent years, with the Flagler County school district facing a potential 15% reduction. This could result in the elimination of programs like art, music, sports and more. The document urges residents to contact legislators to advocate for increased education funding and outlines ways citizens can get involved to address the issue.

My Second Life didn't turn out the way I thought it would: Managing expectati...Ken Hudson
This document summarizes Ken Hudson's presentation on managing expectations for teaching and learning in virtual worlds. Some key points from virtual worlds include the sense of self, the death of distance, and the power of presence. Studies show that behaviors in virtual worlds can transfer to real life. Loyalist College piloted virtual world simulations for the Canadian Border Services Agency that led to improved grades and testing success compared to traditional teaching methods. Other organizations are also using virtual worlds for training purposes.
