This document discusses virtual collaborative learning (VCL), which involves online collaboration in groups to gain new knowledge. It provides background on VCL, including its role in supporting internationalization and mobility in European higher education. VCL frameworks aim to foster virtual exchange and mobility through international collaborative learning projects between universities. The document outlines the key components of VCL, including situational learning cases, online collaboration platforms, learning analytics, and pedagogical support from e-tutors. It presents VCL as a way to help achieve the goals of the Bologna Process in building a European knowledge society and area of lifelong learning.
The document discusses European funding programmes for transportation projects. It provides an overview of EU project participation and funding opportunities. As an example, it summarizes the ECOSTARS project which established a membership scheme across Europe to recognize best practices in energy efficient fleet transportation. The scheme provided guidance and assessments to help operators improve their environmental and energy performance. The START project is also summarized as a case study, which enabled more seamless travel across the Atlantic region through improved transportation information, systems, and networks.
The document proposes developing an EU eFreight Roadmap to improve efficiency in European freight transport. Currently 43% of truckloads, 50% of trains, and 30-40% of ships are empty. The Roadmap would provide a context for integrating all transport modes using information technology. It would establish a standard framework for information exchange across modes, a single EU transport document, a single window for administrative procedures, simple border crossing procedures, and secure transport corridors by 2020. Success requires acceptance from businesses, transport managers, and regulators, with acceptable costs and data security. Governance would involve an EU committee and advisory group.

Intervention au colloque annuel des Directeurs Généraux des Services : comment le mouvement des MOOC transformera l'université, dans tous les domaines, et pas seulement dans la pédagogie.
Should European universities enter the MOOC competition. We present the 7 different reasons to say yes. It is up to the HEI to define their strategy.
The decision is a strategic one, to be taken, at the highest level of the institution.
Third International Conference of the Euro -Mediterranean Association for Sustainable Development in Egypt (EMASDE ).
How MOOC could be an help for mass education in Egypt.
MOOCs still have potential as a viable business model if certain approaches are taken. While initial MOOC models were not sustainable, emerging models include:
1) Universities offering MOOCs as part of blended learning programs or to recruit more students without increasing costs.
2) Certification and credentialing programs where students can pay for assessments to earn credits or degrees from partner universities.
3) Continuous education models where companies partner with MOOC providers to offer professional development to employees.
As these new approaches are tried, MOOCs may provide sustainable solutions for universities and continuous education going forward.
This document discusses the future of MOOCs and pedagogy. It argues that MOOCs are moving at the same pace as developments in pedagogy, not as a disruptive technology. Blended learning approaches that integrate MOOCs and face-to-face teaching are promising but costly for universities. The future of education lies in more open, user-centric systems that harness learning analytics and adaptive learning to drive student success. However, realizing this vision will require significant resources that many universities currently lack.

About the IETF: Presentation for the University of BotswanaInternet Society
This document discusses encryption and standards development at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It provides background on the IETF, including that it is an open standards organization with working groups that develop technical standards through an open process. The document notes that encryption usage on the internet has grown significantly in recent years. While encryption increases privacy and trust, it may have profound effects by limiting some network functions like caching, traffic management, and surveillance. The realities are that encryption shifts how certain parties can access traffic, but does not eliminate access. Standards continue to evolve to both increase security and avoid potential negative outcomes.
