This document summarizes a research project on digital inclusion and participation. The project aims to understand user access and use of digital media, promote comparative research and education, and provide insights to industries and policymakers. It examines topics like media use, gender differences, and how immigrants use digital media. The researchers have conducted qualitative interviews and are analyzing the gender-based differences in people's life trajectories and technology use. Preliminary results suggest women often have less education but interest in digital tools, and that mobile phones and public access spaces are particularly important for older women to stay connected.

15 Tips For Electronic Public Engagement
The document outlines 15 tips for using emerging technologies like the internet and websites to engage the public in transportation and development planning processes. It recommends developing an integrated public involvement plan that uses both traditional and online methods. Key tips include thinking of the web as a system rather than just a site, tailoring content for different communities, and ensuring transparency, record keeping, and accountability of online public comments. The goals are to create a more informed and involved public that can help decision makers through new 24/7 engagement opportunities.

Findings from the Global Impact Study of Public Access ICTs
Libraries, telecenters, and cybercafés play a critical role in extending the benefits of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to a diverse range of people worldwide. However, their ability to contribute to development agendas has come into question in recent times. The Global Impact Study was designed to address this debate by generating evidence about the scale, character, and impacts of public access ICTs in eight countries: Bangladesh, Botswana, Brazil, Chile, Ghana, Lithuania, the Philippines, and South Africa. This PowerPoint slidedeck provides an overview of the Global Impact Study, research design and methodology, and the study's key findings. The results show that a central impact of public access is the promotion of digital inclusion through technology access, information access, and development of ICT skills. Both users and non-users report positive impacts in various social and economic areas of their lives.

Digital Media problems and opportunity
Digital media provides both opportunities and challenges. It facilitates social interaction and civic participation, but can also spread propaganda and misinformation. It enhances productivity and flexibility for work and education, but excessive use may harm mental and physical health. While digital media gives people a voice, the filtering of content by algorithms poses risks to transparency. Overall, digital media influences all aspects of modern life but also requires guidelines to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks.

Mobile Voices is a project that developed a mobile blogging platform through participatory design with low-wage immigrants in Los Angeles. The project aimed to give immigrants a way to share their stories and represent their voices while also involving them in the technology design process. Researchers collaborated with an immigrant advocacy group and day laborers to hold workshops where participants tested the platform, identified issues, and helped make design decisions. The process aimed to empower participants and create a more relevant and effective communication system but also faced challenges around technical skills, time commitment, and privacy concerns.

Kg hypothesis
The document discusses the knowledge gap hypothesis proposed in 1970, which suggests that as mass media information increases in a society, those with higher socioeconomic status will gain knowledge at a faster rate than those with lower status, widening the gap between them. It provides operational definitions and potential reasons for the knowledge gap, such as differences in communication skills, prior knowledge, and selective exposure between high and low SES groups. Suggestions to reduce the gap include issues that have local impact, involvement of celebrities, and topics that arouse social concerns. Critics argue the hypothesis is based on a traditional communication model and information should be useful for audiences.

Using mobile apps to foster social presence in
This document discusses how mobile apps can foster social presence in online classrooms. It notes that there are now over 5 billion cell phones and 1 billion internet-capable mobile devices in the world. While early research focused on traditional online environments, little research has examined the impact of increased mobile technology use. The document argues that mobile technology allows for greater communication and connectivity between online learners than previous generations experienced. It maintains that mobile apps have the potential to enhance students' social presence in online courses if carefully integrated and administered.

This study analyzed perceptions of technology use among students and teachers in Chile to explore two hypotheses: 1) experience with ICT is distributed among different social groups rather than characterizing an entire generation, and 2) sophisticated ICT use does not necessarily indicate unique skills compared to past generations.
The results showed that while students widely access ICT daily, differences exist in intensity of use. Face-to-face interaction remains highly valued. Few gender differences were found in access, but some in preferences like video games. Teachers see both benefits and risks of ICT depending on implementation, but communication and information access were most commonly cited as benefits. In conclusion, the study found partial support for the first hypothesis but little evidence for traits uniquely

This document summarizes a qualitative research study that examined student and staff perceptions of information and communication technologies at a university. The study explored what technologies students and staff used in everyday life and education, the perceived benefits and limitations of these technologies in higher education, and whether a "digital divide" existed between these groups. The findings showed no significant differences between faculty and staff views of technologies' benefits and limitations for instruction. The study implies that universal technology access on campus may reduce the impacts of digital divides. However, the research had limitations such as a small sample size and inconsistencies in data collection.
Preventing Conflict with the right information - UNDP Workshop
This document discusses using human-centered design to understand how communities access and share information. It proposes conducting field research through observation, interviews, and surveys to identify key themes like information flows, trust in sources, influence of sources, and changing technology behaviors. The goal is to develop improved programs and initiatives that are based on communities' actual needs, capacities, and cultural contexts to have higher impact. Design research is recommended to put people at the heart of problem-solving and take a systems approach to identifying opportunities for impact.
Influence of the Internet on Communication and Journalism standards.
Journalists of traditional media feared the impact of the internet on established journalistic standards in four main ways:
1. Accessibility and speed of information distribution online threatened the standard of accuracy by making it difficult for journalists to maintain their role as gatekeepers of verified information.
2. The ability of online media to incorporate different media types appealed more to audiences, threatening the attention and trust traditionally given to journalists.
3. The internet allowed users to provide direct feedback and counterarguments to published content, threatening the standards of transparency and fairness by giving consumers a voice in content oversight.
4. A lack of guarantees around the professional qualifications of all online publishers threatened the integrity and professional responsibility

The document summarizes key points from a presentation by Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Internet Project, about trends in broadband and internet adoption in the United States. It finds that broadband adoption has increased to about 70% of Americans and wireless internet usage through cell phones is also growing rapidly, shrinking the digital divide. However, some groups including older Americans and those in rural areas still lag in adoption rates. The presentation discusses how increased access to broadband and wireless internet is transforming how people access and share information online and through social networks.Paola Di Maio, Unesco Apeid Conference Bangkok DEC 2007
The document proposes creating a social network to improve information sharing and resilience in communities in the Greater Mekong Subregion. It would involve surveying communication infrastructure and skills, developing guidelines and protocols, and setting up a simulation to test emergency response. The goal is to promote formation of a social network to exchange knowledge and communicate, enabling self-organization and a more sustainable society through regional cooperation.

The document discusses how museums need to adapt to changing media and audiences in the digital age. It notes that audiences are increasingly accessing information online and through mobile devices. As such, museums need to shift from static exhibits to more personalized, memorable experiences and share authority by becoming more of a forum and connecting with niche audiences online. The document advocates for collaboration between history organizations, sharing stories through affinity groups, and using technology like RFID and networks to help audiences preserve their own stories and connect to museum collections and resources in new ways.
Disability Accessibility
Article 9 of the UN CRPD defines accessibility and its importance for people with disabilities. Accessibility refers to the ability to reach, understand, or approach something and involves removing barriers. There are four main forms of barriers - physical, informational, institutional, and attitudinal. Physical barriers involve the built environment and infrastructure. Informational barriers relate to how information is presented not being accessible to people with various disabilities. Institutional barriers are laws and practices that prohibit or fail to facilitate access. Attitudinal barriers stem from societal myths and stereotypes unconsciously creating barriers or a lack of awareness about the needs of people with disabilities. The CRPD requires countries to promote accessibility in their legislation, policies and programs.
‘What makes media social?’
Social media refers to internet-based applications that allow the creation and sharing of user-generated content, allowing users to interact with each other. While television and radio can also enable some social interaction, such as reality shows where audiences vote or calling into radio stations, social media differs in that it provides more accessibility and usability since anyone can participate at low cost without specialized skills. Social media also allows for more recent and editable communications compared to traditional media.

This document discusses a study on understanding individual acceptance of emergency communication services. It provides background information on opportunities for targeted, timely emergency information delivery through technology. However, current services have challenges like limited coverage, lack of awareness, and lack of individual motivation to adopt the services. The study aims to investigate what type of emergency communication service individuals would prefer, and what factors affect user acceptance, such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, social influence, and trust. It seeks to understand the significance of these factors and how to design services not requiring individual adoption.Oregon Broadband: The Power of Adoption
Broadband adoption has provided broad economic, information access, social, and civic benefits according to the document. Specifically, broadband adoption is associated with GDP growth, productivity gains, job creation, greater civic engagement, and improved access to information. However, the educational benefits of broadband are unclear from the available data. The document also discusses how wireless connectivity and social networking have driven digital revolutions that have expanded broadband adoption.

The problem with ‘digital generation’: A study of adult digital content creators
Karl Mannheim (1952 [1928]) wrote about problems associated with use of the term ‘generation’. He argued that generational consciousness within a generation is not necessarily homogeneous or coherent, as there will be divergent views and practices within any group. Indeed one of the main criticisms arising from comparisons and differentiation between people in pre-defined generational groups is that standardised assumptions and pre-conceptions are made about how they behave and their ability to learn. This is particularly problematic in the digital era when use of the terms ‘digital generation’ and ‘net generation’ (Tapscott, 2008) are used for the categorisation of age delineation (Buckingham, 2006).
This research investigates 36 UK adults using digital technology as they participate in the practices of content creation, distribution and sharing online as a form of vernacular creativity. It views participants not as members of a pre-defined generation, but as individuals within an age range. Consequently, generational preconceptions were suspended in favour of an approach linked to the modes of communication and technologies available and familiar to them in their early life and to their own personal circumstances and backgrounds. Research revealed that adopting digital technologies acted as enablers in facilitating the unlocking of suppressed behaviour and creative desires across the age spectrum. In addition the research findings offer a nuanced set of conclusions where both commonly held actions of purpose and age related circumstances are important. These are alternative to the over-simplistic and sometimes polemical perception that the so-called ‘digital generation’ are more digitally adept and literate than older internet users.

Presentation Description: Digital Literacy and Education - Offline Perspective
Title: Bridging the Digital Divide: Strategies for Offline Digital Literacy
In this thought-provoking presentation by Harshad Patil, the focus is on the often-overlooked aspect of digital literacy – the offline perspective. While technology has revolutionized education, there remains a significant challenge when it comes to providing access to digital education in areas with limited or no internet connectivity.
Section 1: Offline Digital Literacy in Action
Community Libraries: Explore how community libraries in rural areas are becoming hubs for offline learning, where books and educational materials are shared to facilitate knowledge acquisition.
Classroom Technology: Delve into the ways teachers are using offline resources like PDFs, videos, and educational games to create interactive lesson plans.
Print Resources: Learn how health centers and community spaces provide essential educational information on health, hygiene, and finance through print resources.
Section 2: Offline Digital Literacy and Community
Benefits for Elderly: Discover how offline educational programs empower senior citizens with the skills needed to stay connected with loved ones, pay bills online, and more.
Skills for Farmers: Explore how offline digital training equips farmers with skills to leverage technology for improving crop yields, weather forecasting, and connecting to wider markets.
Support for Disabled: Understand how offline education supports disabled individuals in learning about their conditions, connecting with similar individuals, and utilizing technology for daily living.
Section 3: Challenges and Solutions
Limited Access: Address the challenge of limited access through infrastructure development and public-private partnerships to provide ICT infrastructure to remote areas.
Quality Assurance: Explore the need for a robust quality assurance system to regulate digital content, ensuring accuracy and removing false information.
Capacity Building: Highlight the importance of skills transfer and capacity building for teachers and students to effectively use digital tools.
Low-Cost Solutions: Discuss the adoption of low-cost solutions such as mobile apps, SMS, and interactive digital TV services for capacity building in remote communities.
Section 4: Empowering Offline Digital Literacy
Access for All: Emphasize the need for tailored digital literacy training for vulnerable groups, including refugees, internally displaced persons, women, and children.
Collaboration is Key: Stress the importance of public-private partnerships, knowledge exchange networks, and inter-sectoral cooperation in building capacity for digital literacy programs.
Data-Driven Approaches: Advocate for the use of data-driven approaches such as big data analytics, open data, and evidence-based research for strategic decision-making and resource allocation, ensuring sustainable, equitable, and impactful
ICT-as-Medium-f-WPS-Office.pptx
ict tools and platforms have changed the way people communicate because through ict people can communicate even if they are far from each other. people do not need to wait how many days to receive the letter/message that their relatives send, but trough ict just a blink of an eye they can send a message directly. ICT can be used as a medium in promoting different advocacies and causes mainly because it is effortless and it does not need any exceeded effort to perform. ICT makes our work easier therefore it can also make the other things we do easier including promoting causes
Digital citizenship
Digital literacy involves having the skills to use technology effectively, evaluate digital information, and act appropriately online. It includes information literacy, media literacy, and digital citizenship. Developing digital literacy is important for education, employment, and full participation in today's digital society. Teaching digital literacy requires addressing awareness of appropriate technology use, understanding social norms, taking responsible actions, and reflecting on one's digital behaviors.
Digital divide linear powerpoint
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to unequal access to technology and differences in how people use technology. It identifies several dimensions of the divide, including availability of services, skills, support, and content. There are three main stages of the divide: the economic divide due to lack of access, the usability divide due to lack of digital literacy, and the empowerment divide due to unequal participation. To address the divide, the document recommends improving access to computers and internet, increasing digital literacy, and embracing technology within communities. It also discusses the role of schools in helping to level the digital playing field through teacher training, technology support, and curriculum integration.
Ayoub digital citizenship action plan
This document outlines an action plan to teach digital citizenship to K-12 students. The plan aims to educate students on the nine elements of digital citizenship and how to use technology safely and responsibly. It details five steps to implement the plan, including introducing digital citizenship concepts, educating students, parents and teachers, obtaining financial support, and incorporating digital citizenship into school curriculums.

Digital literacies
Digital literacy refers to the ability to use technology and digital tools to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information. It involves more than just basic computer skills, but also developing critical thinking about the information found online. As technology becomes more integrated into society and education, digital literacy is important for both digital natives who are accustomed to technology from a young age as well as digital immigrants who are still learning to navigate the digital world. Teachers need to develop digital skills to engage digital native students and help all students think critically about the digital tools and information they encounter.

The curriculum would teach students to be responsible digital citizens through understanding appropriate online behavior, rights and responsibilities, health and safety issues, and security practices. It also recommends ways to implement digital citizenship education through computer infrastructure, policies, classroom content and activities, and assessment of student learning. The goal is for students to become empowered and skilled users, creators and contributors in the digital world.
Digital Media Education for Korean Youth
This document examines digital media education policies for youth in Korea. It provides an overview of trends in digital media education in English-speaking countries to frame the analysis. Digital media education aims to both empower youth and protect them, and can be categorized into awareness, access to hardware/software, and digital skills. The document then reviews digital media usage statistics for Korean youth and Korean government policies related to digital media education. It finds that while Korea has attempted a sophisticated framework, a formally established media education curriculum is still lacking.
Living in the IT Era - Lesson 1.pptx
This document is a lesson on information and communication technology (ICT) presented by Engr. Froilan G. Cantillo. It defines information and technology, and discusses how ICT is used in daily life for communication, education, employment, and socializing. ICT is shown to have both positive and negative impacts on society, such as improving access to information but also potentially reducing personal interaction and physical activity. Key positive impacts include better communication and information management, while potential negative impacts include job loss and increased competition.
Improving communication & collaboration in the age of social media
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in facilitating the work of service provider organizations. How can technology be used effectively to support collaboration, and what tools and resources are there? In this workshop, participants will learn more about how technology can support service collaboration, useful tools, technology platforms and resources, how social media can be used to support collaboration. Participants will also explore advantages, challenges, pitfalls and promising practices in technology use in the social services sector.
Digital literacy, digital citizenship
Digital citizenship involves the rights and responsibilities of participating in an online world, including access, literacy, ethics, and norms of behavior. It aims to foster safe and respectful participation online through developing skills like media literacy, maintaining boundaries between personal and public expression, and functioning collaboratively. Promoting digital citizenship in education can help turn users into active stakeholders online and support both individual goals and community well-being.
Digital divide
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to unequal access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) between individuals, households, businesses and nations. The digital divide exists due to differences in access to the internet, skills to use digital technologies, and ability to afford ICT services. Lower income households are much less likely to have internet access compared to higher income households. Reducing the digital divide requires improving access to affordable broadband, increasing digital literacy, and ensuring online content is relevant and accessible to underserved groups.

I have no idea how to use the keyboard 03 april
This paper intends to analyse a set of empirical dimensions of the digital divide, based on the narratives of 17 individuals with low levels of schooling. Taking as references the constructs of techno-capital, techno-competencies and techno-dispositions (ROJAS et al., 2010), linked to Bourdieu’s social theory, and that of chronotope developed within the framework of the historical-cultural theory, a model of analysis is put forward, focusing on experiences related to the digital divide in which historical-cultural, axiological, educational, generational and gender dimensions emerge.
The analysis of the narratives by individuals with low levels of schooling leads us to similar issues arising from the digital exclusion of older people, especially women. This reality emphasises the role of Public Pedagogy in promoting literacy and digital inclusion (SANDLIN, O’MALLEY & BURDICK, 2011).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
