This document provides information about a practical session on building ontology-based web services. The session is part of a larger tutorial on ontology engineering and lexical semantics. Students will work in groups of three to model a governmental service and its processes. They will build web services for each sub-process and publish the WSDL of the services using terms that are defined in the Palestinian government ontology (Zinnar). Students can reuse services built by other groups. The goal is to implement an interoperable governmental service using standardized ontology terms.
Maddalena Macario: I-CLEEN - Enhancing an inquiry-based approach to Earth system sciences in Italian classrooms
Scientix European Conference, 6-8 May 2011, Brussels
The DELILA project aimed to promote open sharing of information literacy and digital literacy teaching materials between UK universities. Key achievements included releasing resources as open educational resources (OERs) and customizing repositories to provide access to these resources. Challenges included addressing intellectual property rights and ensuring resources remained up to date and reusable by other institutions. The project demonstrated that while information and digital literacy resources can be shared between institutions, full reuse may be limited due to institutional specific nature of some materials.
The document discusses a study on the impact of open educational resources (OER) availability on open educational practices in universities in Sub-Saharan Africa as part of an ICT-integrated teacher education program. It provides background on the program developed courses in math, science and other subjects that were released under Creative Commons licenses. The study examined the extent of OER use and repurposing at the network and university levels. It found the OER were extensively used as source materials in course development. However, while the university participated in the OER creation, it did not adopt the full teacher education program due to financial and technological constraints. The availability of OER impacted the process for creating the open courseware.
The document provides an organizational chart for the Dallas Independent School District with a focus on technology. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of various positions from the Superintendent and Board of Trustees down to campus teachers. It also includes an action plan and mission statement for Dealey Montessori and International Academy to incorporate 21st century skills and technology into instruction through objectives like assessing needs, training on online safety and copyright, and helping teachers utilize online curriculum guides.
This project implemented nine school repositories and one university-wide learning repository integrated within the university's virtual learning environment to support sharing and reuse of learning resources. The project aimed to increase deposit and usage of resources through establishing workflows for content creation and resource sharing. Key outcomes included developing a metadata schema and selection criteria for learning objects, as well as increasing strategic focus on repository provision as reflected in university policies and strategies. The project successfully implemented the technical infrastructure but did not develop an interface between the learning repository and institutional repository as originally planned.
The document discusses several topics:
1. A workshop was held to train participants in developing reusable learning objects (RLOs) for online academic development programs. The goal is to share content across institutions in line with best practices.
2. The validation process is underway for 7 new online academic development programs. It is hoped all will be validated soon to build sustainability.
3. Development of online content for the programs is ongoing. The workshop on creating RLOs aims to facilitate the online aspects of the blended programs.

Pal gov.tutorial4.session1 1.needforsharedsemanticsMustafa Jarrar
This tutorial discusses the need for shared semantics on the Internet and in open systems. As information systems become more interconnected, there needs to be agreement on the meaning and use of terms. XML provides syntax but not semantics, while standard vocabularies are often ambiguous. Ontologies provide precise definitions of terms and their relationships to allow computers and systems to truly understand each other. They formalize the concepts and semantic rules that humans use to distinguish similar things.
Pal gov.tutorial4.session1 1.needforsharedsemanticsMustafa Jarrar
This document provides an overview of the need for shared semantics and ontologies. It discusses how a lack of shared understanding limits communication between people and systems. XML provides syntax but not semantics, while standard vocabularies are often ambiguous. Ontologies aim to formally specify meaning and resolve discrepancies in semantics through shared conceptualizations. They allow computers and people to communicate meaningfully.

This document summarizes initial research examining the relationship between home broadband adoption, student achievement, and rural households in Florida. Key findings include:
1) The top reasons for non-adoption of home broadband in rural Florida counties centered around perceptions of expense and lack of need, especially among Hispanic households.
2) Rural school districts with stronger broadband connections tended to have stronger student achievement in reading, even when accounting for factors like district spending and poverty levels.
3) Further research is needed to more definitively determine the relationships between location, home broadband access, and student performance as digital learning initiatives expand. School libraries and leaders have opportunities to advocate for greater connectivity and educate families on its benefits.

This document discusses mobile learning and the future of education. It argues that learning is becoming more personalized, portable, and participatory due to new technologies. Formal education needs to shift from an industrial, one-size-fits-all model to one centered around the learner and incorporating new tools. Students should have access to one-to-one mobile devices that allow learning anywhere and through user-generated content. The future of learning lies outside traditional classrooms and involves continual, social learning over a lifetime. Teachers must help facilitate this new paradigm by utilizing online resources and becoming experts in information management and technology integration.
