The notion that the tools we use are neutral and unbiased has been questioned recently as we recognize that the design of our technology, our spaces, and our services all have the potential to reflect (mostly) unconscious biases that can perpetuate inequality and exclusion.
This workshop will explore this theme and give participants an opportunity to think about the unintended bias and inequity that has been designed into their own library. Through kinesthetic brainstorming, and play-based problem solving, we will begin building solutions to these problems to bring back to their home institution.
This hands-on workshop explored the "whys" of visual literacy and offered participants an opportunity to tinker and play with everything from metaphorical icons to photos, gifs, and video.

Image is Everything: Exploring Visual Literacy for Critical Thinking EdTechTe...Amy Burvall
From cave walls to Facebook walls we have always embraced visual communication. Dual coding theory of cognition reiterates the importance of visual imagery in respect to our thinking processes - that in fact we need visual language in addition to verbal or text-based coding of stimuli. With the changing media landscape, our streams, memes, and zines have exploded with imagery, ushering in a need for visual literacy skills. We are quickly moving from images as decoration and augmentation to images as sole content and communication tool. We have some false beliefs about visual language - that it is equated with “art”, requiring “talent” from “creative types” - and therefore it is unfortunately often not overtly taught and practiced in schools. Technology has affected knowledge in such a way as to diminish the value of “raw” information and increase the value of sense-making, as well as chip away at attention spans, sparking a need for distillation of complex ideas. Images can essentialize the cumbersome in beautiful ways. They have a “stickiness” for the viewer and challenge the critical thinking of the creator.

Facebook: New an old ways of communicationclarinete
The main investigation hypothesis is that Facebook recovers certain ways of communication prior to press, where the subjective-self-defining, gestural and corporal is revalued, in detriment of paradigmatic values of Gutenberg Era such as the writing objectivity, publication distance, neutrality, immutability and print dwelling. In other words, we say that Facebook’s forms of communication are characterized by their written and ephemeral forms, and can be understood in the frame of a recovery process of an oral feature culture.

The idea of this presentation was to introduce some findings from experimental psychology that might influence user experience design. Also, it was fun to see how riled up people can get about shower control design ... :)
Many people don't know what UX (User Experience) is, and how easily you can start with it. In this presentation we teach 3 techniques that teams can start using immediately without any UX experience.

I reverse words… I see in opposites… I connect unrelated possibilities.
I have the gift of dyslexia and I see and take a lot of supposed missteps. To capitalize on this tendency to see in different directions, whenever something goes wrong or when I hear a wild idea, I instinctively ask, “What’s right about it?”
The answers that have come from asking, “What’s right…” have changed my life and hopefully the lives of my clients.

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.

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.

2. Chance:
1. possibility
[uncountable and countable] how possible or
likely it is that something will happen, especially
something you want…
Definition from Longman English Dictionary Online
http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/chance_1
3. Before continuing, I suggest (if you have not
already) watching “Where Good Ideas Come From”
by Steven Johnson.
The video should appear after this slide…
4. Steven Johnson’s video promotes the idea that
there aren’t as many “Eureka” moments as
people think, and what really happens is a
collision of hunches…
5. So….let’s look at the environmental factors that
can increase the chance of these great ideas
coming together….
Steven found a pattern that was repeated again
and again. What was it?
6. Steven found the pattern of the slow hunch…
Where ideas often are only one part of two, or
many more, in a final solution.
All these hunches must start out on their own,
with time to incubate over at least 2, or even
maybe up to or more than 10 or 20 years!!! (eg.
the internet).
This incubation time ensures the idea will
become successful or useful.
7. As ideas usually come from the collision of at least 2
hunches, it makes sense that we need to:
“find a way to create systems that allow these hunches to
come together and form something bigger than the sum
of their parts”. (Jonhson, 2010).
Great examples from the past are the coffee houses in
the age of enlightenment and the parisian salons of
modernism. They were very popular with creative minds.
8. With increasing ways to connect, there is a
better chance of finding the other hunch you
need to finish or enhance the idea you are
working on.
These days there is more of a trend of
connecting using the internet, which while
sometimes has been viewed as a hinderance, is
actually a very fruitful resource. The internet is
one way you might be able to find that other
hunch.
10. Imagine I divided a 100 piece jigsaw puzzle between a class of 20
students. Each student would end up with 5 pieces. Think of these
ideas as hunches.
There is a chance that one person alone would be able to connect at
least two of there pieces (“Eureka!”)
……however, it is much more likely that each student would have to
connect with many other students to be able to find matches for their
own pieces. (slow hunch).
There is also a possibility that if a student did not connect with every
other student in the class, some pieces would go without being
matched up…Imagine all the creations or innovations that haven’t
been achieved because they haven’t been connected enough?
Because they haven’t met their match…?
11. Real life examples….
I’m sure you have all heard of Steve Jobs, yes – the Apple man.
But did you know, Jobs dropped out of college due to the
expense….however, he stayed on campus, sleeping on the floor
of a friend’s dorm room.
While he was there, Jobs started dropping in on some creative
classes. One of these classes was calligraphy.
Where did this lead?
13. Steve Jobs himself said:
"If I had never dropped in on that single
calligraphy course in college, the Mac would
have never had multiple typefaces or
proportionally spaced fonts.“ (Jobs, 2005).
14. Just to recap…
• Eureka moments are possible, but less likely…
• Slow hunches are more common, where an idea may lay dormant for
years, until it collides with another hunch that combines the hunch into
something much bigger than its individual parts..
• So, connecting is the key!! Allowing ideas to mingle, swap and create new
forms.
• The internet is a big part of connecting with others.
• WHEN YOU ARE CONNECTED, YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE CREATIVE AS
YOUR HUNCHES CAN MEET OTHER HUNCHES AND GROW INTO
SOMETHING UNEXPECTED, UNPLANNED, AND EXCEPTIONAL!!!!
15. Want to be creative?
Want better ideas?
Get connected!!!
Because chance favours the connected mind!
