http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Leighblackall/An_ethical_framework_for_ubiquitous_learning
Ubiquitous learning, through its association to the phrase ‘ubiquitous computing’, is often taken to mean learning mediated through portable computing devices that are coupled with digital media and data. This paper argues for a consideration that is less determined by technology, positioning instead that it be used to describe a broad and deliberate approach to learning generally, with or without the aid of computing devices or digital media.
Based on a feed-back structure of ethics, principles, methods and outcomes used by David Holgrem to popularise Permaculture Design, an ethical framework for ubiquitous learning is put forward to guide considerations. It draws on the theories, critiques and proposals of Ivan Illich, Neil Postman, Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger, Christopher Alexander, Richard Stallman and others to form three primary ethics: That learning happens everywhere; that it be relevant and; that it is shared. These ethics are substantiated through a number of principles that guide methods and hold outcomes accountable. And finally, to illustrate methods through this framework a range of projects and initiatives are presented. They include a situationist theatre production, The School of Everything and other convivial learning networks, and Open Educational Practices
In this session, I will review the literature on virtual communities of practice and wikis in emergency medicine. I will propose a new model for knowledge translation to link emergency physicians from across Canada in the creation of a novel open-source and free database of shared resources that can be reused and adapted to local contexts. Finally, I will provide a glimpse of a new era in knowledge translation in the era of the Semantic Web.
Learning Objectives
1- Learn how communities of practice and wikis can support clinical practice in emergency medicine
2- Learn how a database of open-source and free knowledge tools could support your ED
3- Learn about the evolution of knowledge translation in the era of the of the Semantic Web
Personal Information Management for Software Engineering ResearchersDragan Gasevic
Living in the time of abundance of information, publications, and social networks is a great opportunity for software engineering researchers. They can find much information about many projects, various relevant publications, and other researchers who did a work on a related topic. Yet, availability of (open source) software freely/publicly available is a great convenience for many. All this definitely opens up many exciting opportunities for a higher-quality and more creative research. However, this wealth causes another (bigger) challenge– how to manage and comprehend all that data and interactions and be able to contextualize the data to the research needs at hand?
In this talk, we will discuss a need for the development of new-generation personal information management systems for software engineering research. The key requirement is ubiquitous access, delivery and publishing of research data from “anywhere and anytime.” Through a more organic integration of software engineering tools, publication sources, collaborative and community research tools, researchers should be able to able to build their own personal research environments, which satisfy their personal needs, preferences, formal obligations, and life-long objectives. To illustrate some promising directions for personal research environments, we will discuss different examples built on principles of the Social Web, the Semantic Web, technology-enhanced learning, and computer-supported cooperative work.

Open Research Data Frameworks: Lessons for the Global SouthAnup Kumar Das
The presentation titled "Open Research Data Frameworks: Lessons for the Global South" was delivered in the National Symposium on Improving eGovernance using Big Data Analytics, held at Department of Management Studies, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India, on 28th February 2017. The symposium was a run up event of ICEGOV2017 (10th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance), held at New Delhi. I briefly discussed the global initiatives such as UNESCO's Global Open Access Portal (GOAP), Re3Data.org (Registry of Research Data Repositories), GODAN (Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition), Research Data Alliance (RDA), ICSSR Data Service, and self-archiving of scientific data on data repositories.

ELPUB 2018 Feminist Open Science workshopLeslie Chan
This was the slides for the workshop on Feminist Open Science presented at ELPUB2018 in Toronto. Notes for the session is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zr51nZ4VRjVNLixeRc_4SPa-liSALADLTbJ1RUJYcpo/edit
"This workshop will centre on how current discourse around Open Science has tended to focus on the creation of new technological platforms and tools to facilitate sharing and reuse of a wide range of research outputs, but has largely avoided tackling many important issues related to inclusion of a diversity of perspectives in science. We believe a feminist perspective can help to surface these issues, particularly with regard to the need for inclusive infrastructure, which are especially important as Open Science increasingly becomes part of government agendas and policies. We expect that researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in Open Science will benefit from this workshop to think about issues of inclusivity in Open Science that are not receiving sufficient attention. We expect participants who attend this workshop will gain awareness about relevant resources and work that has been done by feminist technoscience scholars to expand the perspectives of Open Science. We hope that participants will take away new possibilities for their work that they may not have considered before. For policy makers, this workshop will be particularly relevant to help think about how evidence for Open Science should be assessed from a more feminist inclusive standpoint. The workshop will also present results from a two-day workshop on Feminist Open Science that will take place prior to the ELPUB workshop, with the intent of soliciting feedback and collaboration."
The SDGs represent challenges in advancing the broad access to information agenda because of the divergent goals and proliferating targets and indicators. At the same time, the broadness of many of the goals presents opportunities for the agenda, particularly in the form of open access and open science, to embed itself at the core, thus allowing concrete actions and policies to be formulated in order to achieve tangible development outcomes. I will focus in particular on Goal 9 (“Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”) and argue that information and knowledge are essential infrastructure needed to build local research capacity which are in turn the foundation for sustainable development. The growing understanding of the importance of sharing methods and results throughout the research life cycle further demands the need for appropriate infrastructure. Examples of such infrastructure, such as data and publication repositories, already exist at some local level, but they are often fragmented and lack adequate resources. It is therefore important for FAO/IFLA/COAR to continue to advocate for the development of knowledge infrastructure and to ensure that policies are in place to support their long term sustainability.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The terms Situated Learning and Communities of Practice may be new, but odd are, you have witnessed or participated in collective learning throughout your lives! Through Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger's observations of apprenticeship, this theory of learning through practice and experience, mimicking the teacher, arose. Using our infograph depicted here, we will break down some CoPs that you may be familiar with, and further define a community of practice to give you a better understanding of what we are discussing.
Visualizing.org is a community of designers, educators, students, organizations and folks from the general public who come together to make sense of current issues through data and design. The members of this community of practice work to share knowledge of their data, facilitate a discussion and attempt to make sense of it all. By sharing and creating, they define what it is to be a community of practice through the ongoing goal of complex understanding of issues through design. Visualizing hosts various competitions and design marathons throughout the year to bring people, who have only interacted virtually, together. They share ideas and work on visual actualizing complex issues that affect the environment, education, agriculture, and the world.
Perhaps you are familiar with open office, linux, or mozilla? These were all created within the OSI community of practice. Although governed by a board, the OSI was founded by members of the computer science and programming community to provide free, redistributable applications to the public. They encourage their users, novices and experts alike, to use their products and make them better. The most fundamental principle of the OSI is what they call the “open source standard.” This standard ensures that any program or application created, adhere's to the philosophy and purpose of their organizations. Some of the guiding principles within this standard include free redistribution, no discrimination against any persons or group, maintaining the integrity of the authors work, and the license must be technology neutral. Members of this CoP work together to not only create source code for redistribution, but to advocate for free, collaborative, integrity driven programs and applications.
