This presentation serves to introduce blogging to those just getting started! We give hints about where to get inspiration for blog articles, how to write with your own style, where to find media for your posts, and how to promote your blog.
Does being female make a difference to the way people use software? Can the software industry change the way we do things to make our software more useful for women? Would that be sexist? Would any men want to buy our software afterwards?
I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press. I believe that we cannot even begin to imagine the changes that are going to take place as the two-way nature of the Internet begins to flower, and that even those of us who have spent time imagining this future will be astounded by what happens. I’m going to identify ten trends in this regard that I think have particular importance for education and learning, and then discuss seven steps I think educators can take to make a difference during this time.

Christopher Allen's teaching philosophy and approach to curriculum design in a hybrid (mixed online & face to face), flipped (lectures as homework, classes as activities) environment while teaching at the Bainbridge Graduate Institute @ pinchot.EDU in the MBA in Sustainable Systems program.
A relatively non-technical introduction to Bitcoin and its underlying technology the Blockchain. The opening presentation for summer 2015 Blockchain University courses.
A proficiency model for creating instructional design objectives and to empower students in their own learning. It is a hybrid model based on principles from Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of ‘Flow’. This model has four basic +1 stages: unlearned, basic familiarity, practiced proficiency, mastery, and reflective competence.
Creating a game together is a great tool for teams to establish a shared language and to discover aspects of collective experience that can foster innovation. The reason is that games can be defined as “A Playful Journey to Success” — the processes of innovation, entrepreneurship and education are all also Journeys to Success. Thus by designing a game, we are modeling future successful journeys for ourselves.
A powerful tool in our pedagogy toolbox are discussion assignments using Moodle forums as activities.
This presentation demonstrates what they are for, how to configure them for your course, some best practices and warnings.

Cooperative gaming—tabletop lessons for online gamesChristopher Allen
My talk from GDC Next in LA, on November 6th, 2013.
ABSTRACT: In the past decade, cooperative games have become an important category for tabletop play. Best-sellers like Pandemic and Flash Point: Fire Rescue are just the tip of the cooperative iceberg, with dozens more filling game store shelves. Meanwhile, in the online computer game field, quests and character specialization imply cooperative play, but the games don't necessarily embed cooperative mechanics in their code. This session will bridge that gap by highlighting specific tabletop mechanics that encourage, support and even limit cooperation, and suggest how they can be used in online games. It will do so using many references to specific tabletop games.
TAKEAWAYS: Attendees will learn about the design of cooperative elements in tabletop games, including cooperation styles and anti-cooperative incentives. They will be able to discuss basic cooperative theory, including elements of limited communication, hidden information and costly assistance. Finally, they will be able to apply these tabletop lessons to online design.

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.

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.

Hulet
substantive dialogue and civic engagement?”
9. Access
“I am a bit concerned because there is a basic
assumption that the people I would want to be
targeting have access to the social web. I'm not
sure that's true given the technology gap between
different socio-economic and ethnic groups in the
US, and abroad. Kim
Also, because most of the pages I am privy to are in Powe
English, I am not able to communicate with people
of vastly different backgrounds, opportunities and
opinions than I because of language barriers (not to
mention censorship!)”

Learn to “aggregate” by using RSS
and Google Reader!
31. Scan
In this phase we gather information in a broad way. First define
your intent and context, i.e. what is your purpose and scope?
Then select topics within that context for further review. But
Scan
don’t read or write — keep your mind in high-level scan.
Focus
Based on your scan, select those topics to concentrate on and
set aside those that are not relevant. Read and understand Focus
them based your intent & context. Think deep.
Act
Based on the Focus phase, what actions need to be taken?
Forward content that might be relevant to others, add items to
to-do lists. In Act we create and plan. Act

In this phase we define our intent and context. We gather
information in a broad way. We begin to build a conceptual
models of our knowledge.
Scan
Focus
Based on our Scan, we choose what information to
concentrate on and set aside those that are not relevant. We Focus
refine our conceptual models into those that can be potential
practical.
Act
We take our conceptual models and apply them. We evaluate
the act process and test the results of the action. If the
conceptual models work we add them to our toolbox. If they Act
don’t, we start again.

36. What are Tags?
Tags are words that mean something
Sometimes called labels, categories,
or keywords
Things that are tagged can have many
tags
i.e. not like folders, where only one
copy resides
37. Folksonomy
Tags are personal; a “folksonomy”
not “taxonomy”
A folksonomy is the practice of
organizing information using
spontaneous, collaboratively
generated, open-ended labels to
annotate or categorize content
38. Tagging Best Practices
Tag ideas, concepts and events
Use nouns if possible
The best tags are narrow and specific
apple is too broad, mac better,
mac osx best
Give preference to singular base
Limit abbreviations
Consider modifying bookmark title:
article title « source
Take full advantage of notes:
[comment] “quote from webpage”
39. Multi-Word Tags
In most cases tag separately if each
word use in a future topic search
significant: lamp shade
not significant: san francisco
You never are going to search for “san”
Multi-word tags are typically
compacted
sanfrancisco, christopherallen
Proper words often camel-cased
SanFrancisco, ChristopherAllen
40. Tagging Best Practices
Be consistent
Think of what words others may use
Periodically review and update your
tags
When you successfully find a
bookmark from the past, add a new
tag
41. BGI Conventions

not other webpages. Don’t use ‘bgi’.

webpages

Use ‘mywriting’, ‘myprofile’ for your own
work
