My thoughts and proposals for a Quality Education in a digital world, as I shared them in 2009, at the first assembly of the Open Learning Exchange (OLE) in Kathmandu, Nepal.
OLE (http://www.ole.org) is an international organization whose goal was to make Quality Universal Basic Education accessible by 2015 to hundred millions of children worldwide. In 2009 I was invited to participate and speak (see slides below) to the first OLE International Assembly in Kathmandu. I have already reported about what I learned at the assembly in these articles:

Digital Divide and Digital Inclusive Policies in India: A Sociological Studyijtsrd
The digital divide or digital split is a social issue referring to the differing amount of information between those who have access to internet and those who do not have access to the internet. The term assumes that such an access variance leads to social discrepancies owing to the alterations in the benefit conferred upon those who use this technology and those who do not use it. Digital divide is not merely a concern for developing countries even its a reality for developed countries of the world as well. This occurrence has been gaining attention worldwide for digitally enabled social policies and planning. The Indian government ambitious project, ˜digital India, would be a reality only if it includes the neglected section of the society. The objectives of the paper are: a) to delineate digital divide in India and its concern & b) to ascertain the digital inclusive policies in India.Key Words: Digital divide, Digital opportunity initiatives, digital empowerment etc. Dr. Mohammad Swalehin"Digital Divide and Digital Inclusive Policies in India: A Sociological Study" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-2 | Issue-1 , December 2017, URL: http://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd5901.pdf http://www.ijtsrd.com/humanities-and-the-arts/sociology/5901/digital-divide-and-digital-inclusive-policies-in-india--a-sociological-study/dr-mohammad-swalehin

AWS re:Invent 2016: Building Enterprise Cloud Operations As a Service with T-...Amazon Web Services
After launching several thousand EC2 instances in the cloud, we've learned that the key to running an IT fleet successfully on AWS is enforcing operational and economic discipline. As AWS service consumption grows, operational costs and overhead shouldn't grow linearly. Instead, IT should encourage new tenants that migrate from data centers to AWS to slowly shift toward a self-service delivery model and adopt the DevOps operations model. Creating and offering an AWS Cloud operations service catalog enables organizations to efficiently take full advantage of AWS' flexibility and modularity. T-Mobile, whose journey to AWS Cloud management started more than 2 years ago, uses a service catalog to enforce operational discipline in the Cloud. Their catalog is custom crafted for each Cloud-based IT workload. This session provides insight into the AWS Cloud operations strategy and its transformation, the creation of a Cloud operations service catalog, and how this approach supports reliable engineering on AWS. Sponsored by Accenture.
AWS Competency Partner
AWS re:Invent 2016: Enterprise Fundamentals: Design Your Account and VPC Arch...Amazon Web Services
Customers looking to migrate to AWS often ask the following questions at the beginning of their journey “What is the right AWS account structure and VPC design for me?” and “How do I minimize the impact to my IT operations?” This session discusses the different account structures, VPC design patterns and network deployment architectures to align to different Enterprise IT Operating Models. We will also discuss the implications each pattern has with respect to Security, Finance and Operations. Nielsen, a global enterprise providing an understanding of what consumers watch and what consumers buy, will discuss the decision making process for their AWS account and VPC design. Nielsen will also discuss the implications of their decision. This session will benefit IT architects, managers and technology strategists to:
• Understand the 4 common Enterprise IT Operating Models and the VPC design patterns associated with each
• The security, operational and financial considerations associated with each design pattern
• Ask the correct questions to determine how best to set up their AWS accounts
Emerging trends and issues related to Open DataMarco Fioretti

Digital documents, from Tweets or Facebook status updates to law texts and streaming TV, can make a lot to improve building and preservation of cultures, make social life and education richer, increase citizen civic participation and government transparency.*
However, this potential can be achieved only if all these digital documents are always preserved and shared in the smallest possible number of truly open formats. When this doesn't happen, both individuals and society lose crucial information and have much less possibilities to exchange or correlate digital data in the ways that would have the most positive effects on culture, education and civic participation.

But there is simply no way to get there without Open Hardware
During the 2011 Internet Governance Forum in Trento I presented the results of my "Open Data, Open Society research" starting with exactly that question: are Open Data a luxury for rich countries, a fashionable buzzword, or a REAL necessity for any country?

The Catholic Church in the age of Digital FormatsMarco Fioretti
The nature of our age demands that the Catholic Church produces documents, and communicates, digitally, more and more every year. So far, however, very little attention has been paid to whether the usual, mainstream tools that many others already use are, indeed, technically suitable for the Church. Or if mainstream legal formulas and licenses are the most effective ones. These slides of mine from 2013 address all these issues.

The Digital DIY phenomenon: challenge or opportunity for degrowth?Marco Fioretti
Digital Do-It-Yourself (DiDIY) is a set of DIY activities and mindsets made possible by the availability of low cost software, digital communication networks and digital fabrication devices. Today, the most popular examples of DiDIY are 3D printing and the “Makers Movement”. DiDIY, however, is a much bigger phenomenon, with potentially huge effects on the economy and the environment.
So far, the interaction between advocates of degrowth and communities like the one of Makers has been very limited and not void of reciprocal suspicion, if not hostility.
Practitioners of DiDIY seem to propose even more consumption of resources, that is the opposite of degrowth; in fact, it is hard to deny that many current examples of DiDIY only solve “first world problems”, producing even more hardly recyclable waste. DiDIY also needs, by definition, products and infrastructures, from microelectronics components to the Internet itself, that have a very big environmental footprint.
In spite of this, DiDIY can, if not become an deliberate “ally” of degrowth, give a strong contribution to mitigate some phenomenons, from waste to overconsumption, that degrowth rightly sees as serious problems. We argue that this should happen, and that much more mutual knowledge and support between the two communities are needed.
In our talk we first summarize the characteristics of DiDIY, highlighting those that seem an obstacle to degrowth. Next we present some key issues on which the degrowth and DiDIY movements may cooperate to achieve a critical mass. Finally, we mention some actions that should be implemented, at the regulatory and advocacy levels, to reach that critical mass.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

We can safely say that the world DOES have some little problems
And we may also say that:
1) Everybody is entitled to:
see those problems solved, in order to live a better life
participate to their solution
2) We need EVERYBODY to participate
Because the problems are BIG and sometimes urgent too

Example 1 (bad):
India’s digitization of land records gives everybody a
way to see who owns what... upper classes and
corporations have been using the digital land records
data to gain ownership of land from the unknowing
poor.

Example 2 (good):
In 2001 only 1% of land claims by Bolivia’s indigenous peoples
had been settled
Community leaders were taught to use computers and understand the
databases created to assist land claims.
Since then half of the claims have been settled

By and large, no
We have not metabolized this yet for two reasons:
software is invisible, even if it is everywhere
Time!
the written word is thousands of years old. Software, as a
mass technology for communication and information
management, only a few decades.
Are we as a society aware of all this?

What have we concluded so far?
Software is everywhere = today, (misuse of) software is
a part of many problems, and software is also a part of
their solutions!
Doing digital inclusion as previously defined can be
much cheaper and faster than trying to solve problems
in traditional ways.
Remember we said the world has problems?

All citizens can and should demand to participate in
decisions general criteria regulating usage of software,
without being specialists.
Just as it happens on topics like privatization of water
How many citizens think that their opinion on that topic
isn't worth listening because they aren't hydraulic
engineers?
The biggest problem is apathy and ignorance

It is a great way to have everybody do their part
to solve those world problems we mentioned
earlier
Corollary 1: We can't afford people to ignore what real
digital inclusion is and to not want it for themselves
Corollary 2: this is an urgent task, both because some
problems are urgent and because software moves very fast
This is why digital inclusion is necessary

Everything we said leads to another reason why real digital
inclusion is important:
to (help to) solve problems, people need Education. Soon
but the only way produce and deliver enough education, in
time, is massive usage of computers
(yes, of course this is a huge simplification, education is not a material
product like cars or screwdrivers)
What's missing? The “E” word, of course!

Believing that physical infrastructure is

Believing the “digital natives” myth
Starting from Free as in Freedom Software
Some errors to avoid when “selling” D.I.

Q.: Is digital inclusion made of/
based on Free Software and Open
Data?
A.: No, it's based on people!
Want to promote FOSS? Don't mention it!

Masses of common people who:
understand the need to know about certain things, to protect
their rights
understand how much software is relevant
WANT to be digitally included
Put them in that state, and they'll discover and want things like
FOSS, Open Data etc... by themselves. It's almost unavoidable
Digital inclusion is based on...

Open Data can help a lot to:
increase transparency in government and real, democracy
save public money
create jobs, evenfor people who never had the capabilities or
opportunities to get a degree in software engineering
but this only happens if there is digital inclusion, that is
people who want to have and practice it!

Start from what really interests and touches
common people, without mentioning computers
at all and arrive from there to show that they want
digital inclusion
One problem: getting support to interest and reach also
people outside Universities, because this is basic education
necessary to everybody!
