Social relations of single people in Poland / Więzi społeczne polskich singliAnna Bujała
Short presentation of results of the qualitative research on social relations of single people in Poland prepared for the conference "Men and women in the postfamilial world" (http://www.kobietyimezczyzni.uni.lodz.pl).
The research focused on three main issues:
1. Elements of social environment of single people in Poland, with special stress on groups of single people,
2. Strength and durability of each type of social bonds of single people,
3. Role of the Internet in starting and managing social relations by single people.
"Single people" in the research is understood as a subcategory of all the people living without partners - accordingly to the language tradition in Polish.
The working definition of "single person" used in choosing respondents for the research has been:
unmarried people who have no regular life partners
(i.e. not living with partners and declaring not being in a stable relationship for at least one year), childless or not raising their child, heterosexual (just for the coherence of the research), living in Polish cities (over 250 th of habitants), with college education and aged 25-45.

digital scholarship: how open publication and co-creation could transform sci...@cristobalcobo
According to Wikipedia: Open science is the umbrella term of the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research, campaigning for open access, encouraging scientists to practice open notebook science, and generally making it easier to publish and communicate scientific knowledge.
Here (in this remixed on purpose) we will explore some of the key dimensions and opportunities behind the open science and its opportunities for digital scholars.

A Revolution in Open Science: Open Data and the Role of Libraries (Professor ...LIBER Europe
This talk was given by Prof. Geoffrey Boulton of the University of Edinburgh at LIBER's 42nd annual conference in Munich. Here is a brief summary: "The data storm that has been unleashed by novel means of data acquisition, manipulation and their instantaneous communication have posed both great challenges and opportunities for science. The challenge is to maintain scientific self-correction, which depends on concurrent publication of concepts and the underlying evidence. The opportunity is to exploit massive and complex data volumes in creating new knowledge. Both are non-trivial tasks. The former requires ‘intelligent openness‘."
"The latter requires new ways of thinking and new forms of collaboration, which make major demands on scientists, their institutions, those that fund science and those who publish it. Open access publishing is important, but open data is fundamental to scientific progress."
"In a post-Gutenberg era, can the library maintain its historic role as an efficient repository of scientific knowledge? Can it provide support for the creation of new knowledge? What responsibilities should it discharge, and how? What skills are required by those discharging the library function? And how do we achieve a realisable objective, of having all the publications online, all the data online, and for the two to be interoperable?"

In this webinar, Prof Hendrik Drachsler will reflect on the process of applying learning analytics solutions within higher education settings, its implications, and the critical lessons learned in the Trusted Learning Research Program. The talk will focus on the experience of edutec.science research collective consisting of researchers from the Netherlands and Germany that contribute to the Trusted Learning Analytics (TLA) research program. The TLA program aims to provide actionable and supportive feedback to students and stands in the tradition of human-centered learning analytics concepts. Thus, the TLA program aims to contribute to unfolding the full potential of each learner. It, therefore, applies sensor technology to support psychomotor as well as web technology to support meta-cognitive and collaborative learning skills with high-informative feedback methods. Prof. Drachsler applies validated measurement instruments from the field of psychometric and investigates to what extent Learning Analytics interventions can reproduce the findings of these instruments. During this webinar, Prof Drachsler will discuss the lessons learned from implementing TLA systems. He will touch on TLA prerequisites like ethics, privacy, and data protection, as well as high informative feedback for psychomotor, collaborative, and meta-cognitive competencies and the ongoing research towards a repository, methods, tools and skills that facilitate the uptake of TLA in Germany and the Netherlands.
Smart Speaker as Studying Assistant by Joao ParganaHendrik Drachsler
The thesis by Joao Pargana followed two main goals, first, a smart speaker application was created to support learners in informal learning processes through a question/answer application. Second, the impact of the application was tested amongst various users by analyzing how adoption and
transition to newer learning procedures can occur.
Dieser Entwurf eines Verhaltenskodex richtet sich an Hochschulen, die mittels Learning Analytics die Qualität des Lernens und Lehrens verbessern wollen. Der Kodex kann als Vorlage zur Erstellung von organisationsspezifischen Verhaltenskodizes dienen. Er sollte an Hochschulen, die Learning Analytics einführen wollen, durch Konsultationen mit allen Interessengruppen überprüft und an die Ziele sowie die bestehende Praxis innerhalb der jeweiligen Hochschulen angepasst werden. Der Kodex wurde auf Grundlage einer Analyse bestehender europäischer Kodizes und der in Deutschland geltenden Rechtsgrundlage vom Innovationsforum Trusted Learning Analytics des hessenweiten Projektes "Digital gestütztes Lehren und Lernen in Hessen" entwickelt.
Abstract (English):
This code of conduct can be used as a template for creating organization-specific codes of conduct in Germany. The Code was developed on the basis of an analysis of existing European codes of conduct and the legal basis for the usage of data in higher education in Germany.
Rödling, S. (2019). Entwicklung einer Applikation zum assoziativen Medien Ler...Hendrik Drachsler
Ziel der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit ist es, den Einfluss von zusätzlicher am Handgelenk wahr-genommener Vibration in Verbindung mit der visuellen Darstellung eines Lerninhaltes auf denLernerfolg zu messen. Der Lernerfolg wird hierbei durch die Lerngeschwindigkeit sowie denUmfang der Wissenskonsolidierung über die Testreihe definiert. Zu diesem Zweck wurde eine Experimentalstudie zumAssoziativen Lernendurchgeführt. Für die Studie verwendeten 33Probanden eine App, die für die vorliegende Arbeit entwickelt wurde. Im Mittel aller Studiener-gebnisse wurden sowohl für die Lerngeschwindigkeit als auch für die Wissenskonsolidierungbessere Werte erzielt, wenn die Probanden die Möglichkeit hatten, den Lerninhalt sowohl visu-ell als auch haptisch zu erfahren. Die festgestellten Unterschiede des Lernerfolges erreichtenjedoch keine statistische Signifikanz. Die Abweichungen der Ergebnisse nach der Umsetzungder vorgeschlagenen Änderungen am Studiendesign sind abzuwarten. Die Bachelorarbeit ist vor allem für den Bildungsbereich interessant.
The present bachelor thesis aims to measure the influence of vibration perceived at the wrist in connection with the visual representation of learning content on the learning success. The learning success is defined by the learning speed and the extent of knowledge consolidation over the test series. For this purpose, an experimental study on Associative Learning was conducted. For the study, 33 test persons used an app, which was developed for the present work. On average of all study results better values were achieved for both learning speed and knowledge consolidation, if the test persons could experience the learning content both visually and haptically. However, the differences in learning outcomes did not reach statistical significance. The results of the deviations after the implementation of the proposed changes to the study design must be awaited. The Bachelor’s thesis is particularly interesting for the education sector.
E.Leute: Learning the impact of Learning Analytics with an authentic datasetHendrik Drachsler
Nowadays, data sets of the interactions of users and their corresponding demographic data are becoming more and more valuable for companies and academic institutions like universities
when optimizing their key performance indicators. Whether it is to develop a model to predict the optimal learning path for a student or to sell customers additional products, data sets to
train these models are in high demand. Despite the importance and need for big data sets it still has not become apparent to every decision-maker how crucial data sets like these are for the
future success of their operations.
The objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the use of a data set, gathered from the virtual learning environment of a distance learning university, by answering a selection of questions in
Learning Analytics. Therefore, a real-world data set was analyzed and the selected questions were answered by using state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms.
Romano, G. (2019) Dancing Trainer: A System For Humans To Learn Dancing Using...Hendrik Drachsler
Masters thesis by Romano, G., (2019). Dancing is the ability to feel the music and express it in rhythmic movements with the body. But learning how to dance can be challenging because it requires proper coordination and understanding of rhythm and beat. Dancing courses, online courses or learning with free content are ways to learn dancing. However, solutions with human-computer interaction are rare or
missing. The Dancing Trainer (DT) is proposed as a generic solution to fill this gap. For the beginning, only Salsa is implemented, but more dancing styles can be added. The DT uses the Kinect to interact multimodally with the user. Moreover, this work shows that dancing steps can be defined as gestures with the Kinect v2 to build a dancing corpus. An experiment with
25 participants is conducted to determine the user experience, strengths and weaknesses of the DT. The outcome shows that the users liked the system and that basic dancing steps were
learned.
In May 2018, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will enter into force in the European Union. This new regulation is considered as the most modern data protection law for Big Data societies of tomorrow. The GDPR will bring major changes to data ownership and the way data can be accessed, processed, stored, and analysed in the European Union. From May 2018 onwards, data subjects gain fundamental rights such as ‘the right to access data’ or ‘the right to be forgotten’. This will force Big Data system designers to follow a privacy-by-design approach for their infrastructures and fundamentally change the way data can be treated in the European Union.
The presentation provides an overview of the Trusted Learning Analytics Programme as it has been recently initiated at the University of Frankfurt and the DIPF research institute in Germany. Educational data is under special focus of the GDPR, as it is considered as highly sensitive like data from a nuclear plant. It shows opportunities and challenges for using educational data for learning analytics purposes under the light of the GDPR 2018.
Fighting level 3: From the LA framework to LA practice on the micro-levelHendrik Drachsler
This presentation explores shortcomings of learning analytics for the wide adoption in educational organisations. It is NOT about ethics and privacy rather than focuses on shortcomings of learning analytics for teachers and students in the classroom (micro-level). We investigated if and to what extend learning analytics dashboards are addressing educational concepts. Map opportunities and challenges for the use of Learning Analytics dashboards for the design of courses, and present an evaluation instrument for the effects of Learning Analytics called EFLA. EFLA can be used to measure the effects of LA tools at the teacher and student side. It is a robust but light (8 items) measurement to quickly investigate the level of adoption of learning analytics in a course (micro-level). The presentation concludes that Learning Analytics is still to much a computer science dicipline that does not fulfill the often claimed position of the middle space between educational and computer science research.

Dutch Cooking with xAPI Recipes, The Good, the Bad, and the ConsistentHendrik Drachsler
This paper presents the experiences of several Dutch projects in their application of the xAPI standard and different design patterns including the deployment of Learning Record Stores. In this paper we share insights and argue for the formation of an international Special Interest Group on interoperability issues to contribute to the Open Analytics Framework as envisioned by SoLAR and enacted by the Apereo Learning Analytics Initiative. Therefore, we provide an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of implementing the current xAPI standard by presenting projects that applied xAPI in very different ways followed by the lessons learned.
Recommendations for Open Online Education: An Algorithmic StudyHendrik Drachsler
Recommending courses to students in online platforms is studied widely. Almost all studies target closed platforms, that belong to a University or some other educational provider. This makes the course recommenders situation specific. Over the last years, a demand has developed for recommender system that suit open online platforms. Those platforms have some common characteristics, such as the lack of rich user profiles with content metadata. Instead they log user interactions within the platform that can be used for analysis and personalization. In this paper, we investigate how user interactions and activities tracked within open online learning platforms can be used to provide recommendations. We present a study in which we investigate the application of several state-of-the-art recommender algorithms, including a graph-based recommender approach. We use data from the OpenU open online learning platform that is in use by the Open University of the Netherlands. The results show that user-based and memory-based methods perform better than model-based and factorization methods. Particularly, the graph-based recommender system proves to outperform the classical approaches on prediction accuracy of recommendations in terms of recall. We conclude that, if the algorithms are chosen wisely, recommenders can contribute to a better experience of learners in open online courses.

Privacy and Analytics – it’s a DELICATE Issue. A Checklist for Trusted Learni...Hendrik Drachsler
The widespread adoption of Learning Analytics (LA) and Educational Data Mining (EDM) has somewhat stagnated recently, and in some prominent cases even been reversed following concerns by governments, stakeholders and civil rights groups about privacy and ethics applied to the handling of personal data. In this ongoing discussion, fears and realities are often indistin-guishably mixed up, leading to an atmosphere of uncertainty among potential beneficiaries of Learning Analytics, as well as hesitations among institutional managers who aim to innovate their institution’s learning support by implementing data and analytics with a view on improving student success. In this presentation, we try to get to the heart of the matter, by analysing the most common views and the propositions made by the LA community to solve them. We conclude the paper with an eight-point checklist named DELICATE that can be applied by researchers, policy makers and institutional managers to facilitate a trusted implementation of Learning Analytics.
DELICATE checklist - to establish trusted Learning AnalyticsHendrik Drachsler
The DELICATE checklist contains eight action points that should be considered by managers and decision makers planning the implementation of Learning Analytics / Educational Data Mining solutions either for their own institution or with an external provider.
The eight points are:
1. Determination: Decide on the purpose of learning analytics for your institution. What aspects of learning or learner services are you trying to improve?
2. Explain: Define the scope of data collection and usage. Who has a need to have access to the data or the results? Who manages the datasets? On what criteria?
3. Legitimate: Explain how you operate within the legal frameworks, refer to the essential legislation. Is the data collection excessive, random, or fit for purpose?
4. Involve: Talk to stakeholders and give assurances about the data distribution and use. Give as much control as possible to data subjects (permission architecture), and provide access to their data for the individuals.
5. Consent: Seek consent through clear consent questions. Provide an opt-out option.
6. Anonymise: De-identify individuals as much as possible, aggregate data into meta-models.
7. Technical aspects: Monitor who has access to data, especially in areas with high staff turn-over. Establish data storage to high security standards.
8. External partners: Make sure externals provide highest data security standards. Ensure data is only used for intended purposes and not passed on to third parties.
We hope that the DELICATE checklist will be a helpful instrument for any educational institution to demystify the ethics and privacy discussions around Learning Analytics. As we have tried to show in this article, there are ways to design and provide privacy conform Learning Analytics that can benefit all stakeholders and keep control with the users themselves and within the established trusted relationship between them and the institution.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
