Presentatie Jeroen de Vos op MIT8
Presentation of Jeroen de Vos, Media Anthropologist at the MIT conference Public Media / Private Media. 3rd / 5th may of 2013 in Boston, Massachusetts.
July 2017 EdgeTalks - A new mandate to support community action
This document summarizes a chat discussion between participants on the topics of asset-based community development (ABCD) and building community resilience. Cormac Russell, who focuses on practical community work, led the discussion. Participants shared their locations and interests, which included recovery from addiction, developing community voices, and using creativity and community to manage health conditions. The discussion centered on recognizing community resources, building trust between communities and public agencies, and shifting to an interdependent "we" perspective instead of an isolated "me".
July 2017 EdgeTalks - A new mandate to support community action
This document summarizes a presentation about connecting communities to promote health. The presenter discusses 8 tips for working at the neighborhood level drawn from experience in the UK. These tips include finding community groups interested in support, identifying community leaders and those with gifts to contribute, using conversations to discover community assets, engaging with local clubs and associations, and including marginalized people. The goal is to connect people and groups, understand community resources, and support communities to determine what they can achieve on their own or with outside help to build health and well-being.
Youth and social media in Denmark and China
The first half is on Denmark - with perspectives on youth culture and social media in the Western world. The second half is in China and highlights clips from a talk by Tricia Wang on her PhD dissertation: "Talking to Strangers: Chinese Youth and Social Media" (2014)
Application Security - Myth or Fact Slides
The document discusses several common myths and facts regarding application security. It begins by explaining why application security is important for risk management and protecting assets, noting that most applications lack sufficient protection. It then debunks several myths, such as thinking that using SSL or login screens alone makes an application secure, or that frameworks or ORMs prevent all security issues. The document emphasizes that security is an ongoing process of thinking like attackers to identify vulnerabilities. It provides tips like compartmentalizing code and employing defense in depth with multiple security layers.
Philosophy of marriage notes
The document discusses the four types of love described by C.S. Lewis: storge (familial love), philia (friendship), eros (romantic love), and agape (unconditional love). It uses examples from the movie Beauty and the Beast to illustrate storge, shown through Belle and her father's sacrificial love for each other despite being outsiders. Philia is discussed through the townspeople's friendship with Gaston and desire for conformity, shutting out those different like Belle's father. The document argues that while philia and storge are important, they are not sufficient bases for long-term relationships and marriages.
Pirker and Beyond
This document discusses the regulatory landscape for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in the United States as of early 2015. It summarizes the Pirker case, in which a UAS operator was fined by the FAA but ultimately settled for a smaller amount. It also outlines current FAA policy, which distinguishes between public, civil, and model aircraft use of UAS. For public UAS use, the FAA requires operators to obtain a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization and demonstrate the system's airworthiness and ability to avoid collisions with other aircraft. The lack of comprehensive federal regulation has led to inconsistent state laws on UAS use.

Paper #4 Measurement Paper
Social Media effects
Social Media is human communication of sharing information about yourself on the internet. It is
the biggest element in our lives at this moment. We can get any kind of information we want to
now about the other person. In the past decades friendships, dating, childhoods have been
evolving in very unexpected ways as a result of technological advances. In which ways does
social media/technology affect mental health of its user?
The theoretical framework that I will be using is Symbolic-Interaction Approach. I chose it,
because it analyzes society by stating their personal opinions and wha they believe, even though
it might not be true or correct. That is exactly what I need during this research, because we will
be discussing a very important topic - mental health. I chose quantitive analysis due to me
wanting to know the answers of people in different states in America, different genders, different
racial backgrounds, ages 15-25.
I will be using proportional quota sampling, because if I would chose something more random, I
wouldn't have control over the study, and because I can get 10 same people with same opinions,
and I would like to avoid that by choosing different states, genders, backgrounds… The strength
of this design is, the control the researcher has over it. If it wants to research black males from
18-25 years old, he can. Other types of sampling have their strengths in different ways.
My study population will be from 4 different states: California, Illinois, Florida, New York. 40
people from each state which are: Latinos, Whites, Blacks, Asians. 5 people of each gender of
each state will participate, ages 15-25. The two studies that would describe my study population
would be the study “Social media addiction and how it affects our lives” (Tunc-Aksan and
Akbay 2019). These are college students, ages (18-23). The two finding of the study are: first
cause of addiction to social media is the addiction to smartphones; the second result showed us,
the “fear of missing out”.
I will be collecting my own data because, I am very passionate about this topic, and want to
create and analyze answers myself. I will submit IRB application to collect data on human
subjects. The reason why I would make my own question is answered below, this subject
interests me a lot, and with my questions I want the participants to realize the amount of time
they spend on social media and change their lives for the better.
My ten questions will be:
1. When did you get your first smartphone?
2. When did you create your first social media account? What was it?
3. How many hours do you spend on social media in a day?
4. Are you satisfied with your social media usage?
5. How many times do you check your phone in one hours?
6. How do you feel when you use social media?
7. How long would you be able to put your phone down for?
8. How ma ...

This document summarizes a study examining patterns of civic and political engagement among youth in Italy and the UK. It identifies four participatory habitus - alignment, resistance I, resistance II, and exclusion - characterized by different citizenship orientations, practices, and digital engagement. These habitus represent varying positions in the political field based on access to resources. While social media use influences participation for each habitus, the relationships differ, from hybrid news/social spaces to media activism. Comparisons between the two countries revealed similarities and differences in the issues and influences shaping each habitus.

It was created by Herbert Blumer and is based on three core ideas: that people act based on the meanings of things, social interactions build meanings, and meanings depend on social interactions between people. The document discusses symbolic interactionism as a sociological perspective for understanding society and how people behave within social groups.

eBook Community_in_Higher_Ed-v7
This document discusses the importance of mattering and sense of community for students in higher education. It specifically focuses on challenges faced by certain student populations including Latino students, first-generation students, and online/distance learners. For these groups, feeling like they matter and belong is especially critical to their success but can be difficult due to factors such as cultural disconnect, lack of family experience with college, and less time spent on campus. Developing a strong sense of community is important for all students but particularly for these populations that may struggle more with isolation and feelings of not fitting in.
Transformational Learning Design for Open and Blended Learning
#Design4Learning 2014 Conference: From blended learning to learning analytics in HE: Theme 2 - State of the art?
The new blended learning
Blended learning, itself, is a threshold concept: liminal, uncomfortable, uncertain and transforming
Each person and context is a hybrid: utterly unique
No cultural origin is privileged
Learning occurs in the gaps: the spaces between
Learning growth is non linear
People only partly inhabit any space and do so on their own terms
All learning spaces are co-created
Social, learning, and transactional space are blending physically and digitally
The spirit of the third space is “the teacher”
Any enclosure of space requires force, power or violence

Talk about moocs 2013-05-15
This document summarizes a presentation about MOOCs given in May 2015. It discusses the history and evolution of MOOCs from early connectivist MOOCs (cMOOCs) in 2008 to larger xMOOCs led by prestigious universities in 2011.

MOOCs, OOCs, OOPs
This document summarizes a MOOC on learning and teaching in higher education run by Oxford Brookes University. Over 200 people signed up for the course, with 60 participating throughout and 14 completing assessments to receive a certificate. Participants came from over 24 countries. Research is continuing on how people learned in the MOOC, patterns of participation, and design principles. There is ongoing discussion around the future of MOOCs, including whether they are a passing trend or how their business models may develop, with options like accreditation, tuition fees, or selling supporting resources and platforms. The experience of participants in MOOCs is also being studied.
OOCs for the rest of us
This document discusses open online courses (OOCs) as an alternative to massive open online courses (MOOCs). It argues that OOCs can better fulfill universities' social and educational missions by improving the global learner experience through open academic practices like expert participation, distributed collaboration, and flipped teaching. Developing OOCs could showcase universities' expertise, increase their reach and reputation, better serve existing clients, and attract new clients or revenue. However, MOOCs are rapidly hybridizing in various forms, and universities risk developing "cowboy economics" models that focus on monetization over education if they are not careful.
Not just moocin' about
This document summarizes an open online course (MOOC) on open academic practice delivered via a distributed open platform. Over 200 people signed up for the 6-week course, with 60 participating throughout and 14 completing the optional assessment to receive a certificate. Participants were from over 20 countries. Feedback indicated that while some found the multi-channel format challenging initially, interactions in live online classrooms helped and many found the course illuminating on topics like continuing professional development and professionalism. The document discusses open questions around openness, epistemology, distributed collaboration, academic multimedia and assessment in open online environments and implies that adopting open academic practices on open platforms can help higher education institutions become world leaders.

Research is continuing on how people learned in the MOOC, patterns of participation, and design principles. There is ongoing discussion around the future of MOOCs, including whether they are a passing trend or how their business models may develop, with options like accreditation, tuition fees, or selling supporting resources and platforms. The experience of participants in MOOCs is also being studied.
OOCs for the rest of us
This document discusses open online courses (OOCs) as an alternative to massive open online courses (MOOCs). It argues that OOCs can better fulfill universities' social and educational missions by improving the global learner experience through open academic practices like expert participation, distributed collaboration, and flipped teaching. Developing OOCs could showcase universities' expertise, increase their reach and reputation, better serve existing clients, and attract new clients or revenue. However, MOOCs are rapidly hybridizing in various forms, and universities risk developing "cowboy economics" models that focus on monetization over education if they are not careful.
Not just moocin' about
This document summarizes an open online course (MOOC) on open academic practice delivered via a distributed open platform. Over 200 people signed up for the 6-week course, with 60 participating throughout and 14 completing the optional assessment to receive a certificate. Participants were from over 20 countries. Feedback indicated that while some found the multi-channel format challenging initially, interactions in live online classrooms helped and many found the course illuminating on topics like continuing professional development and professionalism. The document discusses open questions around openness, epistemology, distributed collaboration, academic multimedia and assessment in open online environments and implies that adopting open academic practices on open platforms can help higher education institutions become world leaders.
Philosophy and policy in higher education
This document discusses theories of learning and higher education. It begins by outlining objectives around developing a theory of theory, explaining its uses for understanding educational development, locating higher education in the context of wider societal institutions, and applying the concept of a hidden curriculum. It then discusses reflective practice and the role of formal theory versus experience. Different orientations and functions of theory are presented, including inductive/deductive, holistic/generative, and predictive/explanatory/generative/typifying/falsifiable. Institutions of society and production versus reproduction are contrasted. The hidden curriculum and critical theory are also discussed.
What is necessary and what is contingent in MOOC design
This document summarizes a MOOC on learning and teaching in higher education called FSLT12. It discusses the design of old and new MOOCs, provides an overview of FSLT12, and evaluates the course based on participant feedback. FSLT12 used a combination of platforms including WordPress and Moodle. It covered topics like the curriculum for new lecturers and open academic practice. Participants engaged in asynchronous discussions and synchronous sessions. Evaluation found the organization worked well but could be improved, and assessments created focus while exemplifying openness. Feedback suggested guidance is needed on navigating multi-platform MOOCs to support inclusive learning.
The limits of university teaching
Among the practices which have emerged through the New Lecturers Programme in 2011-12, there are three that test the limits to online learning:
massive open on-line courses (moocs),
virtual conferences as a means of assessment, and
distributed collaboration as a means of working in learning sets.
Taken together, these practices allow us to examine the role of the university and to re-imagine a place for institutions in a world where openness, access and community have come to underpin academic knowledge.

Digital Literacies: Opening the Frontier
George Roberts discusses the pedagogy of e-learning. He argues that there is a pedagogy of e-learning that is grounded in two broad themes: digital literacy and open academic practice. This pedagogy aims to further openness, acknowledge multiple knowledge cultures, and promote novelty and change through alternative modes of organizing knowledge. However, digital literacy cannot be separated from other educational, social, political and economic developments, and open online academic practice poses a challenge to traditional power structures in higher education.
Academic open practice
The document discusses the role that openness can play in transforming academics' teaching and learning practices. It explores how openness through activities like listening to stories, trips, art, international classrooms, and work placements can provide a window to the world for students and new perspectives for instructors. The document also addresses potential risks of open academic practice and how participation in the #fslt12 discussion is impacting personal networks.
Welcome to FSLT12
This document provides an agenda for an online meeting to introduce participants to the First Steps into Learning and Teaching in Higher Education course. The agenda includes introductions from course leaders, an overview of the course topics and approach, and information on reflective practice. Participants will also be shown how to use the online collaboration platform and invited to join breakout rooms for discussion.

Enabling Flexible Distributed Learning (FDL) at Oxford Brookes University
The document discusses enabling flexible distributed learning at Oxford Brookes University. It defines flexibility as educational provision delivered through means that do not require students to attend particular classes or events at particular times and locations. The university aims to provide blended learning opportunities using a variety of technologies to increase flexibility while maintaining high levels of support and developing independent learners. Quality is ensured through frameworks and standards while allowing for different pedagogical approaches.
Extending your online course
This document provides an agenda for an online course on extending online courses. It discusses using profiles to share resources, focusing the course on audiographics, distributed collaboration, social citation and other topics. Week 1 activities include discussing identity, privacy and disclosure, as well as sharing social citation practices. Participants are asked to reflect on collaboratively developing appropriate social citation practices for the course.
Personal identity Management
This document discusses managing personal identity online through tools for personal identity projects. It covers how identity is shaped by digital technologies like algorithms, data collection, and social media. Key topics discussed include weak vs strong identity constructs; identity as shaped by economic and social forces; and the concept of habitus. The document also addresses managing hybrid and multiple identities for different audiences, and tools like portfolios and mentoring systems that could help with personal identity management and professional development online.
