The Personalization Challenge: Context and Culture Metadata for Mobile Learning
In this keynote, we addressed m-learning adaptation based on a standardized context description. The context description contains cultural, organization and individual factors as a base for adaptable and adaptive systems. This is used on the openscout project which is about adaptation of learning resources also in the international context.
The presentation shows 5 main trends for e-learning - it is a starting point for discussions, slides can be re-used for workshops on trend identification and roadmapping
PLEs include the capacities, skills, contacts, tools, and resources that Learners use to direct learning and pursue personal and professional goals. Placing students at the center of their learning environments encourages students to take charge of their learning. PLEs provide a unifying concept that can address a number of promising educational practices.

Research Issues in Knowledge Management and Social MediaJan Pawlowski
The lecture introduces "Global Social Knowledge Management" - it starts with conceptual foundations and discusses research approaches and methodologies and potentially interesting research topics. Several studies on KM and Social Software are outlined, in particular studies on barriers of KM in global settings as well as utilizing SoSo for KM.
Knowledge Management (KM) is a social activity. More and more organizations use social software as a tool to bridge the gap between technology- and human-oriented KM. In order to create interoperable, transferable solutions, it is necessary to utilize standards. In this paper, we analyze which standards can be applied and which gaps currently exist. We present the concept of knowledge bundles, capturing information on knowledge objects, activities and people as a prerequisite for social-focused KM. Based on our concept and examples, we derive the strong need for standardization in this domain. As a manifesto this paper tries to stimulate discussion and initiating a broad initiative working towards a common standard for the next generation of knowledge management systems. Our manifesto provides with eight recommendations how the KM community should act to address future challenges.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

12. Where is m-learning going…?
Personal Learning Environments
– Adaptable / adaptive learning scenarios
including mobile devices / scenarios
– Tailored to individuals’ needs
– Adoption: medium-high
Location based scenarios
– Contents and services based on the location
(eg library services, lecture notes in
auditorium, …)
– People identification (eg fellow learners)
– Adoption: low-medium

real contexts
– Learning about objects, scenarios, places
– Learning in real world scenarios
– Adoption: very low
13. The challenges
Applications should be usable… Adaptation
– …on different devices
– …in different contexts
– …for different preferences
Current main approaches
Convergence
– Content adaptation to devices / screen
size
– Context adaptation to location Integration
– Some adaptation to user behaviour
Necessary to understand the context
– External aspects / factors influencing a
learning situation
No current standards or specifications, only for
parts (learner preferences, device
specifications, protocols)!
So what is context?
How can we capture context?
14. Some context categories
Places
– Coordinates
– Landscape
– Artefacts
– Noise level
– …
People
– Location
– Interests
– Purpose
– …
Culture
– Organization
– Ethnic (region, country,
origin, …)
The context contains factors
which influence m-learning
scenarios but are not directly
influenced by the design
process
– External
– Long-term
15. What is needed?
A clear description and representation of the context to
– Allow adaptable and adaptive solutions
– Allow re-use of context descriptions in different systems
and environments
Consensus process amongst experts
– Researchers (what are the influence factors and how do
they influence design processes?)
– Practitioners: designers, developers, users, …
– Learners, educators
Instruments
– Free text descriptions
– Formal models
– Ontologies
– Metadata
– …
– Standards
16. Metadata specification process
