A digital literacies framework â its strengths, weaknesses and opportunitiesJisc
Â
Speaker: Fiona Handley, senior lecturer in learning and teaching, University of Brighton.
This session will explore the University of Brightonâs digital literacies framework which was launched in 2014.
The framework, which is aimed at academic staff, is divided into four categories: learning and teaching, research, communication and collaboration, and administration.
The session explores the strengths of a framework approach, the challenges it presents, but also the ongoing opportunities it offers compared to other digital literacy and capability initiatives.
The role of UK higher education (HE), further education (FE) and skills sectors in developing student employability is clear. Technology can be an enabler to the development and communication of employability skills, but are organisations and employers making best use of it?
This presentation aims to share and discuss the emerging themes and ideas being generated through our student employability project, which explores how technology can best support students to develop and communicate the skills that are needed for the workplace.
The presentation informs participants of what has been learnt so far and engage them in discussions. We will:
Share emergent themes including issues and opportunities from the study
Share, discuss and build on ideas for what organisations, programme teams and we can do to enhance student employability and the use of technology.
Presenters:
Lisa Gray, senior co-design manager, Jisc
Peter Chatterton, independent consultant, higher education
Geoff Rebbeck, independent consultant, further education and skills
Who will find this useful?
The presentation will be of interest to anyone across HE, FE and skills with an interest in how students develop and communicate employability skills, primarily:
Senior managers with responsibility for employer responsiveness and employer engagement
Academic/teaching staff with an interest in employability
Technology-enhanced learning and academic enhancement roles
Employability leads
Staff with responsibility for personal development planning (PDP)
Careers staff.

Identifying and driving change in partnership with students - Simon walker, M...Jisc
Â
Jisc has supported the creation of a UK wide Change Agents Network to support staff and students working in partnership on technology enhanced curriculum change projects. The network provides a virtual and face-to-face forum for staff and students across the UK to share approaches/experiences and offer support. The network was created as it was identified that working in partnership increases the success of technology-led projects and delivers the identification of student need and appropriate action. Delegates will have an opportunity to hear examples of how institutions are working in partnership with students to identify and affect sustainable change. Students who have participated in the network will share their experiences and outline the benefits they have experienced in working in partnership with staff on curriculum change initiatives.
The network has worked with the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) to develop an award for staff and students working in partnership on change projects, the Institutional Change Leader award and this session will offer an insight into how colleges and universities are recognising and rewarding student participation in change projects. Participants will engage in discussion around this award and will be given access to the accreditation resources and materials, which they may wish to take to their own institution.
The network has also developed a guidance toolkit to support colleges and universities with implementing student partnerships, which has been developed from the collective resources of a range of Jisc, Higher Education Academy, QAA and institutional initiatives in this area. Delegates will participate in a group activity using these interactive materials so as to evaluate their use in supporting their own practice in taking forward student partnership working in their own institutions.

6 essential things for businesses to know about content designLizzieBruce
Â
Understand how content design affects your business. From Cake Content Consultancy. Based on a presentation for University of Cambridge. Original content compiled in collaboration with the UIS content design team.
Slide contents:
1. Each piece of content is part of a wider action. The journey to complete a task or find information online could start on Google, and end on a competitorâs website. Make sure the part where people interact with your site is straightforward and useful. Ask: Where has the visitor come from? What are they trying to do? What are they going to do next? This helps you: focus content on what they need now, minimise duplication of what they already know, and recognise related content and improve the information architecture (IA).
2. Content design achieves business goals by meeting âuser needsâ.
By serving site visitor needs, for example providing clear information on ABC, we can increase interest in XYZ. Needs are researched and content is based around those, rather than approaching topics from a siloed perspective. Designing with a user first approach is the best way to meet business needs. Itâs in everyoneâs best interest.
3. Content design is based on data and evidence for what users need.
Content designers donât guess or assume what users want and where they are coming from, they research it. Content designers use: analytics data, user interviews, user behaviour studies, usability and readability research. For example, they research user language by looking at search data, rather than picking words they think are suitable.
4. Content standards improve findability, clarity, consistency and usability.
To produce high quality, trustworthy information, content principles and standards are necessary. Following them needs to be non-negotiable. BBC, The Economist, GOV.UK all hold their content up to such checks, as do your competitors. Usability reviews should cover accessibility and inclusivity. Content standards make information easier to find and absorb in a limited timeframe. A good start is to choose clear, simple language. Respected research shows even experts prefer plain language, refer to The Public Speaks: An Empirical Study of Legal Communication by Christopher R. Trudeau. A smooth, consistent flow through your site builds trust with your users, and helps your reputation. The opposite damages it.
5. Content design is a continuous approach, it goes beyond page layout and wording.
Its methodologies and practices: help you create, organise and maintain less, more effective content, enable a consistent user experience, promote relevancy and accuracy, improve content workflow and governance, ensure content is in line with strategy.
6. Content design is a professional skillset.
Designing content for a user purpose involves: research, data analytics, user-focused, informational content writing skills accessibility, usability and readability knowledge and information architecture.

IEEE TAG xAPI Webinar Series: Improving the Learner Experience Through an xAP...Margaret Roth
Â
As part of the xAPI Case Studies Webinar Series hosted by the IEEE LTSC TAG xAPI, this presentation gives an overview of the creation of the Learning Commons. The Learning Commons is a shared space for connecting and accelerating educator learning created in partnership by the Learning Accelerator and Yet Analytics with support from innovative education organizations. The Learning Commons is an xAPI-enabled, multi-source content portal designed from the ground up with xAPI as part of the data model, powering a unified learner experience interface that allows learners to see how the informal learning content they work with aligns to competencies and skills they are working to build. As learners utilize content through curated playlists, skill and competency development is automatically tracked and presented back to learners, cohort leaders, and content providers through xAPI data.
The Google Slides version can be accessed at http://goog.gl/HfuscA. This presentation was presented in the xAPI Case Studies Webinar Series hosted by the IEEE LTSC TAG xAPI group on April 17, 2018.

Â
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

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
Â
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
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.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
Â
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
