This document discusses four years of mobile learning projects and the transition from constructivism to connectivism in teaching approaches. It provides examples of mobile learning projects and student reactions, noting "eureka moments" of insight. The conclusion is that mobile learning allows for authentic, constructive, and reflective learning compared to traditional teaching, empowering students to find knowledge for themselves and learn for a lifetime through heutagogy rather than just pedagogy.

Recommendations include using this technology for campus activities, events, and sharing educational resources with students.
Robert Heath, Barcroft Primary School
The document discusses using an electronic Record of Professional Development (eROPD) with PebblePad instead of a traditional paper-based system. A pilot project was conducted with 10 PGCE students to produce their ROPD electronically. Some benefits found so far include having access anywhere at any time, ability to include different media types as evidence, and no large paper folder to carry. However, it also takes time to set up profiles correctly and training is needed for students on using the technology. Overall the eROPD approach shows potential but still has areas for improvement.

The Role Of The Teacher In 25 Years Time - Keri Facer
The document discusses reimagining teaching in the 21st century and challenges some assumptions. It outlines major technological trends that will shape education over the next 25 years, including ubiquitous computing, massive computing power, mixed reality, immersive experiences, brain-computer interfaces, and complex systems. These trends will challenge conceptions of knowledge, learners, tools, places of learning, and raise environmental and ethical issues. The document calls for reimagining education around meaningful real-world problems, diverse experts, and fluid learning across contexts with multiple forms of assessment. However, it notes education has remained largely unchanged despite long-standing calls for reform, and examines underlying assumptions that prevent change.
Michael Kasloff
The document discusses an mCLASS reading assessment tool used in the UK to help teachers diagnose students' literacy strengths and weaknesses, guide instruction, and monitor student progress. A pilot program was conducted in 3 schools in Wolverhampton with 9 teachers assessing 15 students in each class. Teachers found the tool provided immediate results and visual feedback, improved literacy, and yielded assessment data more efficiently than traditional methods.
Gareth Frith
ALPS is a collaboration between 5 universities aiming to develop mobile learning and assessment tools for students in health and social care fields. It recognizes that learners need to be connected to information in practice settings and that mobile devices can enable learning experiences that are active, autonomous, flexible and collaborative. ALPS has created common competency maps in areas like communication, teamwork and ethics to guide assessment on mobile devices, which can then capture evidence and reflections from practice and integrate with ePortfolios. Initial feedback from students on the mobile assessment approach has been positive.

Philosophy A views education as broken but fixable through technology and targets, while Philosophy B sees it as a long-term investment requiring teacher support. It provides examples of projects by Learning and Teaching Scotland that apply Philosophy B, such as the Glow national schools intranet and Scottish Learning Festival conference, and argues educational change requires long-haul development of teacher skills with technology as just one part of their work.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
