Digital examination, forms and tools for aggregation of information and cognition. The dynamics that emerges in large student groups and the phenomenon "the wisdom of crowds".
Plattformar för e-learning har huvudsakligen varit teknologier för att organisatoriskt kunna hantera stora studentgrupper som är skilda åt i tid och rum. Detta görs fortfarande men sådan undervisning sker inte alltid enligt den traditionella hierarkiska formen, utan iscensätts även i nya undervisningsformer. Denna presentation tar utgångspunkt i James Surowieckis begrepp "the wisdom of crowds" för att diskutera formerna för aggregering av kunskap och den dynamik som uppstår i kunskapssökande grupper. Webbplattformen Math.se komer att presenteras liksom nya initiativ inom e-learning på KTH såsom KTH Virtuellt campus.

Using intelligent tutoring systems, virtual laboratories, simulations, and frequent opportunities for assessment and feedback, The Open Learning Initiative (OLI) builds open learning environments that support continuous improvement in teaching and learning.
One of the most powerful features of web-based learning environments is that we can embed assessment into, virtually all, instructional activities. As students interact with OLI environments, we collect real-time data of student work. We use this data to create four positive feedback loops:
• feedback to students
• feedback to instructors
• feedback to course designers
• feedback to learning science researchers
In this JumpStart Session, we demonstrate how OLI uses the web to deliver online instruction that instantiates course designs based on research and how the learning environments, in turn, support ongoing research. We will discuss the Community College Open Learning Initiative (CC-OLI) and how faculty and colleges across the country can participate in CC-OLI and the connection between CC-OLI and Washington State’s Open Course Library project.

OERs and MOOCs – the Romanian experience Diana Andone
OERs and MOOCs – the Romanian experience paper, authors Radu Vasiu, Diana Andone, presented at International Conference on Web & Open Access to Learning, 24-27 November 2014, Dubai, UEA.
Using Open Educational Resources (OER) provides opportunities for collaboration both in the classroom and beyond. Started in 2008 and gathering momentum over the past two years, now an online phenomenon, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) reunite different perspectives over a globalized online learning. The paper analyses the use of OER and MOOCs in different study cases in Romanian universities. Several OER initiatives resulted from the over 1000 academia involved in the DidaTec lifelong learning and training for higher education teachers in the technical sciences and engineering field as a training course for university professors in 12 universities, within the aim of improving the use of ICT in higher education. Four universities from Romania started a Romanian MOOC environment, the UniCampus, which provides free access to valuable education in Romanian language, presented by well-known professors. The evaluation and quality assurance challenges of the Unicampus are mainly due to the restrictive educational setting in Romania. Two study cases on blending MOOCs in traditional higher education courses at undergraduate and Master level are also analysed from the impact on students’ motivation. Integrating MOOCs in blended learning empower students with new abilities and requires a new and open teacher model.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

6. RCN and MATH.SE – background and history Sweden's oldest and largest technical university Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) has more than 25 years of experience in e-learning. Every year 20% of all beginners in Sweden study a national bridge course in mathematics or other subjects before they start university. The same service will now be offered to other countries.
7. RCN – Resource Centre for Netbased Education [Royal Institute of Technology] www.kth.se/rcn RCN organizes MATH.SE
8. Hierchical and non-hierarchical structures for organizing courses Person of the year 2006: You! The Person of the Year 2006 in Times Magazin was "You" (meaning that "you" control the Information Age). The organizational structure within MATH.SE and its built-in revenue sharing model along with a high level of Quality of Experience makes a big step towards approaching the new global market in education and the need for mass-individualization. The first university, Plato's academy , has been a model for all the following traditional universities, based on the idea of one teacher per group of students. This does not scale well since if you have 1000 times more students you need 1000 times more teachers. Another serious drawback in a traditional setup is that students in different schools in different cities will not communicate with each other, even if they are struggling exactly the same mathematical problems and learning processes. By using a flat non-hierarchical structure and modern social networking tools , we can make it possible for thousands of students together to share their learning processes, independently of were they are living. This is a big difference compared to the traditional way of organizing courses.
10. MATH.SE are taking care of infrastructure, support, formalities, etc. Activities for students to successfully complete the course on the Internet. Call center solution for tutoring – the students can call or email their personal mentor. Students belongs to different universities but study together in one virtual classroom. Universities get administrative tools and can monitor ”their” students. MATH.SE – a model proved to work nationally in Sweden and now expanding in Europe 10 000 students in the same classroom. High quality resource allocation. Large community.
11. Ten thousand students study maths on the summer holidays ”It gives me such confidence” From the newspaper:
12. An investigation shows that students who completed the summer course on the Internet (Bridge course) is equally successful in the first year at KTH as students with the highest marks in all courses from school.
13. School A B C D E University Repetition Bridging Bridge courses and Foundation courses From School to University: Bridges the gap and gives a flying start at the first part of university math. Since 1997 the department of Mathematics at the Royal Institute of Mathematics has evaluated the discrepancies between freshmen actual knowledge of mathematics and the KTH faculty expectations. The course curriculum in the bridging courses is based on these discrepancies. The same type of bridging courses are now offered in different subjects such as physics, computer science and chemistry.
14. Clear advantage to do at least one chapter on the Internet based bridge course Pass rate on first exam at KTH (Calculus course): Civil engineering students (Master of Science in Engineering): Passrate 86% (prepared using the Bridge course) Passrate 68% (did not follow the Bridge course) Students on Bachelor of Science in Engingeering programme: Passrate 78% (prepared using the Bridge course) Passrate 63% (did not follow the Bridge course) (Year 2008)
15. Clear advantage to do at least one chapter on the Internet based bridge course Do you think you benefit you benefit from the bridge course during your further studies in the first semester? Civil engineering students (Master of Science in Engineering): "Yes", or "Yes, much" : 75% No: : 25% (Year 2003)
16. Clear advantage to do at least one chapter on the Internet based bridge course Students at the end of 1 st semester: “Are you experiencing that you should have rehearsed logarithms?” 19% (prepared using the Bridge course) 45% (did not follow the Bridge course) 26% (“A” students) “ Are you experiencing that you should have rehearsed limits, continuity and asymptotes?” 52% (prepared using the Bridge course) 42% (did not follow the Bridge course) 44% (“A” students) (Year 2006)
