The document discusses using new technologies like virtual and augmented reality for work. It describes attending meetings both virtually and in-person, conducting brainstorming sessions and presentations virtually, and using presence features to understand availability and workspace usage. Social networks and communication tools are suggested to better connect people for collaboration.
The document discusses personal learning spaces and third places. It defines personal learning spaces as a set of web applications that allow users to be knowledge creators within communities rather than just knowledge receivers. Some examples of personal learning spaces mentioned include blogs, wikis, podcasts, social bookmarking, Moodle, and Facebook. The document then demonstrates how to organize these different learning spaces using iGoogle. It also discusses third places as online spaces between work and home that are for relaxing and learning from peers.
Treinamento de alta intensidade e adaptação mitocondrialMarcos Oliveira
O documento explora a capacidade mitocondrial de oxidar carboidratos e gorduras em atletas que treinam em alta intensidade versus sedentários. Os resultados mostraram que, durante exercícios de alta intensidade, atletas têm maior capacidade de oxidar carboidratos mas não há diferença na oxidação de gorduras em comparação com sedentários. O treinamento de alta intensidade promove adaptações qualitativas na função mitocondrial favorecendo maior uso de carboidratos.
Manufacturers often use check fixtures to inspect parts for defects, but check fixtures are expensive to design, build, and store. They also do not provide quantitative data for process improvement. The document discusses how manufacturers can eliminate check fixtures by using modular tooling and portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) like articulating arms and laser trackers. This allows parts to be measured quickly and provides data for statistical analysis to improve manufacturing processes. Combining modular tooling and portable CMMs pays for itself by eliminating the need for new check fixtures and saves on associated costs like storage and maintenance.

Keynote address for the International CIMED Conference about Museums and Digital Strategies - “II Congreso Internacional de Museos y Estrategias Digitales”, dedicated to Museums and Digital Strategies for the Spanish and Latin American professionals https://remed.webs.upv.es/cimed22/ on October 19, 2022. This talk explores the origins and current state of digital in the museum sector, which enable us to put a frame of reference on the accelerated changes that happened during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine what is likely to come next. Museums have faced numerous challenges on the journey to digital transformation, and success often depends not only on a clear vision and strategy, but also on how that strategy is implemented in day-to-day work. It is vital for the digital function to be closely-aligned with the overall strategy of the organization, empowering staff to work together in close collaboration. This talk will include specific examples of successful digital strategies and initiatives, along with a few illustrative failures. We will also take a look at how ongoing rapid changes in technology create particular challenges for the cultural heritage sector.

This document discusses how changes in technology present both opportunities and threats for reference services. It notes that users now access information anytime, anywhere through mobile devices and social media. While search engines and online question answering services could threaten reference services, they could also be opportunities if librarians adapt. The document suggests librarians conduct environmental scans to understand trends, identify new roles like developing digital experiences, and emphasize skills like change management and collaboration in LIS education to ensure continued relevance in a changing information landscape. The constant is that reference services must continually evolve while maintaining core values of helping users.

This document outlines a study conducted to enhance the International Institute for Environment and Development's (IIED) monitoring of the impact of its publications. The study involved surveying universities to identify mentions of IIED publications on reading lists, journal subscriptions held by university libraries, and recent materials acquired by libraries. Over 200 mentions of IIED publications were identified on reading lists from 13 universities in the UK. The study also found journal subscriptions and recent library acquisitions relevant to IIED's work. The document proposes presenting this university impact data together in a dashboard format. It further recommends ongoing online impact monitoring and use of electronic forms for researchers to log impacts.
Similar to Critical Reflections on the Horizon Report: What did we Learn from the Exercise? (20)
The document discusses digital transformation using metaphors of caterpillars becoming butterflies. It provides quotes that analogize digital transformation done correctly to a caterpillar transforming beautifully into a butterfly, but done incorrectly resulting in just a hungry caterpillar. Another quote suggests digital transformation takes a more meandering path like a butterfly's flight rather than a direct bullet path. A final quote indicates that to undergo digital transformation, one must be willing to give up their prior form or self like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.

The Future of Micro-credentials: Is Small Really Beautiful?Mark Brown
QA agencies are responding to micro-credentials in three main ways:
1) Many countries have no framework for micro-credentials but plan to integrate them into existing QA standards.
2) Some countries like Australia, Canada, and the UK apply existing standards to micro-credentials.
3) A few places including Malaysia, New Zealand, and Ireland have specific guidelines for micro-credential QA.
Leading institutions are responding by developing micro-credential frameworks, marketplaces, and integrating them into learning and teaching strategies. However, there are still holes like lack of course quality ratings, outcomes data, and learner support information that limit micro-credentials. Stakeholders are discussing how to strengthen quality assurance for online and cross-
National QA Guidelines for Digital Education: Crafting a Multi-layered Box of...Mark Brown
The document discusses the development of Ireland's National Quality Assurance Guidelines for Digital Education. It involved selecting existing quality literature, developing the guidelines over several years through stakeholder feedback, and emphasizing alignment with mainstream quality frameworks.

Remixing Digital Education Playlist: Turning a New Page on Foo-Foo the SnooMark Brown
Professor Mark Brown discusses the importance of slow, thoughtful reading of professional journal articles instead of fast reading. He notes that there are over 270 journals and 146 open access journals alone, making it difficult to find time for slow reading. Brown advocates taking the time to slow read articles to allow for deeper critical reflection and new ideas. He encourages participants to consider how many articles they read last week and whether it was fast or slow reading.
Exploring the Gaps in the Quality Assurance of Micro-credentials: A Global Sc...Mark Brown
The document summarizes a global scoping review of quality assurance practices for micro-credentials. It finds that most countries have no standards for micro-credentials, though some are developing frameworks. A few countries apply existing standards. Leading institutions are developing their own guidelines around teaching, learning, and support. However, there are still quality gaps around information, ratings, careers guidance, support, and outcomes data. The presentation calls for strengthening quality assurance to support online, cross-border micro-credentials and better engaging learners in the process.
Decoding Micro-credentials: Learning Unbundled or Bundles of Trouble?Mark Brown
This document discusses micro-credentials and their role in higher education. It addresses developing a plan for implementing micro-credentials, potential troubles that could hinder plans, and decoding micro-credentials. Key points discussed include determining appropriate leadership structures and business models, calculating real costs and addressing demand, and ensuring quality assurance while limiting data gaps. The role of micro-credentials in serving larger strategic goals is also emphasized.
Untubing AI in Assessment: A Primer for Future’s SakeMark Brown
The document summarizes a presentation on AI in assessment given by Professor Mark Brown. The presentation addressed three main points: 1) Educators should avoid AI-centric thinking and own the narrative around how AI can help address existing assessment challenges; 2) Guidelines are needed for both allowing and prohibiting student use of AI tools in assessments; 3) Assessments need to be redesigned to emphasize authentic processes over products and evaluate uniquely human skills that AI cannot replicate. The presentation argued for augmenting human expertise with AI rather than automating assessments and discussed principles and actions needed to shape regulations, review practices, and support educators on the path to assessment change.
Decoding Micro-credentials: Learning Unbundled or Bundles of Trouble?Mark Brown
