Social networks provide a useful basis for enabling collaboration among groups of individuals. This is applicable not only to social communities but also to the scientific community. Already scientists are leveraging social networking concepts in projects to form groups, share information and communicate with their peers. For scientific projects which require large computing resources, one useful aspect of collaboration is the sharing of computing resources among project members. A social network provides an ideal platform to share these resources. This paper introduces a framework for Social Cloud computing with a view towards collaboration and resource sharing within a scientific community. The architecture of a Social Cloud, where individuals or institutions contribute the capacity of their computing resources by means of Virtual Machines leased through the social network, is outlined. Members of the Social Cloud can contribute, request, and use Virtual Machines from other members, as well as form Virtual Organizations among groups of members.

Social Tools for Business: Engage, Optimize, Collaborate
Social computing is pervasive. No matter what you do, social capabilities are now part of it. The question is how "social" fits into your business success and adds value to your daily efforts.
Embracing "socially generated/user-generated" content can benefit your organization both in an outwardly, customer-facing way as well as creating a valuable internal source of knowledge. It's the context behind the content that matters.
Social computing is a rapidly growing and constantly evolving technology that is aimed at increasing communication, encouraging collaboration, and enhancing productivity among people and resources. Social computing applications or Web 2.0 are built on a range of advanced and supporting technologies that enhance collective action and interaction which currently dominates the Web (Parameswaran & Whinston 2007).
Social computing applications are categorized into social media, social bookmarking, and social networks categories as identified by the continuing Web 2.0 trend (Schwartz et al. 2009; Amer-Yahia, 2009). Each of these categories has been embodied by various social software and web sites. Some of the best-known and equally famous social web sites that dominate the web are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Wikipedia, Delicious, and LinkedIn.
My team is taking part in the Elsevier GranChallenge. Our proposal focuses on facilitating three aspects central to the semantic web vision: organize, share and discover. This is the presentation we used for the semifinals.
How smart are smart classrooms? Evaluating International Evidence@cristobalcobo
There has been a considerable progress in integrating technological innovations to facilitate the learning process. This has a potentially important implications on student’s learning process as well as the role of teachers. SMART Classroom is a machine-assisted educational platform developed in Korea that allows learners to study at their own pace while teachers play a role as advisers, coaches and facilitators. Artificial intelligence allows for identification of optimal lessons based on learning algorithms and patterns of individual learning. The session will showcase an example of a framework of Korean education policies and an initiative of smart classroom, and how it has contributed to improving the learning quality and reducing the education gap in Korea.

This presentation summarizes some of the key trends in the changing ecosystem of higher education. Rather than a particular adoption of certain technology, a novel certificate or a new business model, what we explore is how the disintermediation of education is changing the boundaries, strategies and infrastructure of universities. The complex phenomena of 'uberization' of education offer new opportunities as well a number of deep redefinitions. What is clear is learners are in charge and education institutions are invited to re-think some of their traditional strategies.
This presentation was prepared for the 8th ENQA General Assembly (European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education) in Sèvres, France, on 26-27 October 2017, hosted by the Centre International d’Etudes Pédagogiques (CIEP).

Computational Participation: Towards a National EducationPolicy in Uruguay ...@cristobalcobo
L@S: Fourth Annual ACM Conference on Learning at Scale
April 20 – 21, 2017 @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology
organized with the Association for Computing Machinery (www.acm.org).
In 2007, Plan Ceibal became the first nationwide ubiquitous educational computer program in the world based on the 1:1 model. It is one of the most important programs implemented by Uruguay’s Government to minimize digital divide and is based upon three pillars: equity, learning and technology. As of 2007, Plan Ceibal has covered public schools, providing every student and teacher in kindergarten, primary and middle school with a laptop or tablet and internet access in the school, as well as a comprehensive set of educational software platforms.
Plan Ceibal reached 85% of the students in Uruguay (100% of public education 1 to 9 grades students) reducing significantly the digital divide between the “have” and the “have-nots”.
After the massive deployment of devices, platforms and connectivity, as well as educational resources, now the focus is particularly on teachers training, development of new pedagogies as well as a new culture for understanding teaching and learning (i.e. new pedagogies for deep learning). This presentation summarize the "computational thinking" and the "maker culture" promoted by this public policy in Uruguay.

Blended teaching: Remote English instruction in Uruguay@cristobalcobo
Seminar: "From Good Intentions to Real Outcomes: Equity by Design in Learning Technologies". Presented at the Data & Society a research institute focused on the social and cultural issues arising from data-centric technological development (https://datasociety.net) Friday, February 10, 2017
Plot: The project implemented by Plan Ceibal in Uruguay allows primary school children between fourth and sixth grades to have three 45 minute slots per week of English: one taught by a remote teacher, model of language and in charge of introducing and explaining the linguistic content corresponding to each week through his remote presence via videoconference equipment; and two forty-five-minute slots with the classroom teacher, who following the lesson plans sent to her every week, may review, accompany and guide her students in the learning of English. Coherence between remote lessons and face to face lessons is ensured by a half hour virtual coordination between the two teachers involved in the learning process, in which concerns, learning and teaching styles are discussed (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceibal_project#English_project )

What role do “power learners” play in online learning communities?@cristobalcobo
This study focusses on the role of highly active participants in online learning communities on Facebook. These people, often known as “power users” in the literature on social computing, are a common feature of a wide range of online learning groups, and are responsible not only for creating most of the content but also for getting discussion going and providing a basis for other’s participation. We test whether similar dynamics hold true in the context of online learning.
Based on a transactional dataset of almost 10,000 interactions with an online community of 32 postgraduate students who were following the same online course, we find evidence that power users also exist in the context of online learning. However, whilst they do create a lot of content, we find that they are not fundamental to keeping the group together, and in fact are less adept at creating content which generates responses than other “normal” users. This suggests that online learning communities may have different dynamics to other types of electronic community: it also suggests that design efforts should not be focused solely on attracting a small core of “power learners”. Rather, diverse types of users are needed for online learning communities to survive and prosper.

A Global Network for Deep Learning: the Case of Uruguay@cristobalcobo
The aim of this paper is to describe an innovative large-scale action research in the field of education. This paper illustrates a unique sample of a global network of schools working together as a "living lab" to test, implement and improve innovative pedagogical practices in seven different countries (clusters). This experience can be regarded as a disruptive experiment from the methodological (i.e. network of schools), pedagogical (i.e. learning by creating) and accountability perspective (i.e. novel ways of assessing learning outcomes). This global network allocates special relevance to the cultural and contextual specificities of each member. This paper focuses on the Uruguayan case, the only non-developed partner country, which is working in incorporating up to 2,800 schools in this global network by the end of 2019. After providing a background and key figures of the current education system in Uruguay, the authors describe the outcomes of this experience so far (2013- 2016) and highlight some of the expected achievements and instruments to assess the second phase of this experience (2016-2019), with special emphasis in the design of new metrics and the adoption of new assessment tools. After stating the conclusions, the paper points out the limitations and further questions to be explored along the implementation of this global experiment in education.

El Plan Ceibal se ha convertido en una poderosa plataforma para extender y ampliar las oportunidades de enseñanza y aprendizaje de los estudiantes de educación pública en Uruguay. El uso tanto de los dispositivos (tablets y laptops) como de la infraestructura (red y softwares) registra volúmenes de demanda sin precedentes. Por otra parte, los datos que Plan Ceibal administra integran fuentes de información relacionadas con la gestión escolar, la administración de las plataformas tecnológicas así como la utilización de numerosas herramientas y aplicaciones educativas. Este tsunami de datos es una cantera de valiosísima información para apoyar la educación.
Pensando en el grado de uso de las plataformas educativas que ofrece Plan Ceibal, es posible crear un indicador de “participación en línea” (engagement) como resultado del nivel de actividad e interacción de los propios estudiantes en dos plataformas: PAM (plataforma adaptativa de matemáticas) y CREA2 (learning management system). ¿Cuáles son los perfiles de “participación” de los sujetos? ¿Estos perfiles responden algún patrón de clasificación socio-económica o geográfica? ¿Cuál es el perfil de participación de los docentes en cada una de estas plataformas? ¿Se identifica consistencia en el tipo de uso de estas plataformas? ¿En qué medida es posible encontrar correlaciones entre el grado de “participación en línea” de los estudiantes y su participación (asistencia) en clases presenciales? Estas y otras interrogantes serán analizadas durante la presentación.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

8. Aims of this study :
1. To explore relevant EU website from public
sector to identify if they facilitate the creation of
networks for citizen consultation.
2. Identify the level of participation (1º Sharing; 2.º
Contributing & 3.º Co-creating of knowledge).
-> Architecture, Openness, Control, Modularization
• Governments strategies to foster online –’many-to-
many’ communication.
• Online mechanisms to incorporate crowdsourcing
and ‘distributed problem solving’.

35. 6 Conclusions
1. Rhetoric about participation is constantly present in the public
policies (G2C).
2. EU public websites: limited channels of
interaction/communication.
3. The C2G mechanisms of expression are dynamically
organized (beyond government based tools).
4. Instead of referring to the so-called “participation”, is
important to understand they vary according different levels
(Architecture, Openness, Control, Modularization).
5. Social media tools by no mean are synonymous of citizen
participation or transparency.
6. Further research are required to identify the causes of the low
levels of participation (political interest, digitally savvy, lack of
knowledge, etc.) and the direct benefits (awareness).
