This document discusses embracing uncertainty through collaboration. It identifies 4 types of uncertainty - simple, complicated, chaotic, and complex - and suggests better and worse ways to approach each. It also discusses trends in online courses, internationalization, analytics, and communities as curriculum. The key message is that collaboration across boundaries and iterating experiments is better than relying on experts or past practices when facing complex problems with uncertain solutions.
With apologies to the great twentieth century philosopher, Don Henley, this talk looks back to the reasons we did learn and looks forward to some of the ways technology might help us to learn for the future.
Teacher Education, K-12 Education and the Massive Open Online Course Dave Cormier
Presentation at the 44th Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE) Conference by Dave Cormier and Bonnie Stewart. A review of MOOCs from their coining in 2008 to practical uses in the field of Higher Education. Discusses MOOC narratives of solutionism, disruption and unbundling. Includes MOOCs as open access, open accreditation, Niche MOOCs and important trends on the horizon.
Five things I think I think
The best teaching prepares people for dealing with uncertainty
The community can be the curriculum – learning when there is no answer
The rhizome is a model for learning for uncertainty
Rhizomatic learning works in the complex domain
We need to make students responsible for their own learning (and the learning of others)
Connecting beyond content - The Impact of the Digital on Higher EdDave Cormier
This talk by Dave Cormier and Bonnie Stewart for the T3 conference at St. Norbert College, explores the ways in which digital technologies open up that “how” of teaching and learning to enable new structures and forms for communications. Digital tools, concepts, and practices open up the walls of classrooms and of scholarship, and thus have far more significant - and hopeful, if complex - implications for academia than content-based debates allow us to grapple with. This presentation will outline ways in which digital networks fundamentally challenge traditional narratives surrounding higher education, and frame possibilities that arise when we think of education in terms of connection rather than content. It will examine what it means to succeed as learners, scholars, and institutions in a time of knowledge abundance, and open up ideas for ways forward.

Keynote address at Innovation in Tertiary Education Services 2014 conference, Auckland, New Zealand, 5th May 2014.
Discusses how MOOCs are stimulating a climate of innovation and change in education online, shows case studies of innovative teaching formats in a range of Universities and Community Colleges.
Argues that MOOCs are performing at plateau of stable expectations, and that their greatest impact is a set of invigorated conversations around cost, access, quality and delivery of education.
Compares two interdisciplinary courses, one a blended/hybrid course at Harrisburg Community Colleges, and one offered later as a MOOC at UC Irvine, both using topic of Zombies as a vehicle.
Concludes that MOOCs have unleashed an innovative set of approaches across HE (rather than being in them selves innovative). Schools focussed on classroom delivery have an opportunity to re-invent what they do. Elite institutions can use the MOOC as an intermediary format for delivering their content across multiple formats
These are my slides from a pre-conference workshop I co-ran with John Sandars from the University of Sheffield at AMEE 2014 in Milan, Italy. The workshop title was 'How to create personalised learning opportunities in the information age: Essential skills for the 21st century teacher'. John gave an overview of personalised learning to kick things off and looked at some relevant learning theories.
I went on to give an overview of how I've used technology to support and personalise my learning. Following some group work I went on to look at some current trends around personalised learning and consider some of the implications.
The key to supporting students to create personalised learning is for both the teacher and the learner to understand how technology can support this and John covered this in the final section of the workshop.

"Open Educational Resources: It’s not the artifact, it’s the process". Presented at the Open Educational Resources Seminar, University of Otago, 28 June 2012
Abstract
If we think of OERs as we think of physical artifacts, we might focus on their design, production, storage and distribution. We could quantify their number, calculate their popularity, and track their use. However, in open, distributed, networked learning environments, the emphasis is not be on the resources but on the engagement between participants who create, use, modify, and share experiences. Resources can be used to prompt and fuel conversations, and the results of one conversation can be saved and used as fuel for another, but it is the way in which they are created and used that determines their effectiveness in learning contexts. In this talk, I will use examples from several open courses to explore the nature of digital resources and discuss how they are used to enable constructive engagements between networked learners. I suggest that, although appropriate resources are an important part of the learning process, we need to pay more attention to the design of the structures and networks in which they are generated and circulated.
Since her Georgia technology conference in November 2005, this teacher has experienced an extremely positive classroom makeover.

This short presentation by Wayne Barry and Dr Bill Ashraf reports on the development of CCCU Digital Learning Thresholds (DLT). The principle aim of DLT is that all CCCU students have access to digital learning, and that all staff and students will have clear expectations about how, why and when to use digital learning. In addition DLT also align with and supports the VLE consistency agenda. In addition we have developed an innovative evaluation framework to assess the success of our DLT as well proposing their integrating into a blended learned model which emcompasses a quality assurance and enhancement pathway..

“A rhizome as subterranean stem is absolutely different from roots and radicles. Bulbs and tubers are rhizomes.Plants with roots or radicles may be rhizomorphic in other respectsaltogether: the question is whether plant life in its specificity is notentirely rhizomatic. Even some animals are, in their pack form. Rats are rhizomes.”
During the past year, the phenomenon of Massive Open Online Courses – or MOOCs – has been a trend du jour within academia. Framed by co-founder George Siemens as “the Internet happening to education,” MOOCs offer a lens through which to explore how escalating complexity and information abundance impact 21st century higher ed.
Alternately hailed and derided as a disruptive revolution in higher education, MOOCs make visible the fault lines emerging in contemporary academia. Because not only are networked practices encroaching on and expanding the boundaries of conventional educational institutions: so is neoliberalism.
In this keynote for #WILU2013, Dave Cormier and Bonnie Stewart trace a narrative path through the various ways MOOCs challenge institutional education models, focusing particularly on the digital, networked practices that MOOCs were originally intended to embody. They outline rhizomatic and networked models of learning, and the conceptual structures that underpin education as a massive, open, and online enterprise.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
