Implications of the European Data Protection Regulations for Learning Analyti...Tore Hoel
The document discusses the implications of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the design of learning analytics (LA) tools. It analyzes how each stage of the LA process, from data collection to feedback, is affected by the GDPR's new regulations around user consent, data access and portability, security, and privacy by design. The authors argue the GDPR gives designers a two-year window to build LA tools that comply through open architectures, personal data stores, and conversational capabilities respecting user rights. They call for further comparative studies of different regions' approaches to help guide responsible and privacy-aware LA development.

Towards Open Architectures and Interoperability for Learning Analytics Tore Hoel
Tore Hoel presented on the need for open architectures and interoperability standards for learning analytics. Key challenges include a lack of trust, different data schemas and sources being used, and privacy and data ownership issues. Standards are needed for activity streams, vocabularies, storage designs, and algorithms. While initiatives exist, there is no single European leader coordinating standardization efforts for learning analytics.

Towards a Semantic Infrastructure for Learning, Education and Training?Tore Hoel
This document summarizes a conference on semantics and discusses the need for a semantic infrastructure to facilitate learning, education, and training. It notes that while standards like RDF and Topic Maps help machines and humans understand each other, a lack of tools and trust slows their adoption. The document proposes building an infrastructure with published subject identifiers and sharing ontologies and vocabularies. It describes some Norwegian projects demonstrating semantic approaches and concludes that simple recommendations, identifiers, and showcasing tools can help exchange information and create a semantic hub.
Scaling up learning analytics solutions: Is privacy a show-stopper?Tore Hoel
1) The document discusses the challenges of scaling up learning analytics solutions from research labs to the classroom in light of privacy and ethics concerns.

Learning Analytics - Vision of the FutureTore Hoel
The document summarizes a presentation about the future of learning analytics given by Tore Hoel. Some key points:
- The presentation discusses the European LACE project, which aims to integrate communities working on learning analytics in schools, workplaces and universities.
- Seven visions of the future of learning analytics in 2025 are presented, including scenarios where analytics are used for educational management, support self-directed learning, or are rarely used due to privacy and data issues.
- The presentation concludes by discussing open systems for learning analytics and international communities focused on this topic.
Introduction to Learning Analytics - Framework and Implementation ConcernsTore Hoel
This document provides an introduction to learning analytics, including:
1. A definition of learning analytics as the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of learner data to understand and optimize learning.
2. An overview of how learning analytics is used in universities, schools, and the workplace to predict student performance, track progress, and personalize instruction.
3. A framework model showing how data is transformed into analytics and insights to benefit learners, teachers, and institutions.
The document discusses requirements for learning analytics based on a lecture and workshop at East China Normal University. It begins with introductions and then outlines the day's plan to discuss definitions of analytics, actors in learning analytics, framework models, and requirements. It emphasizes starting with pedagogy and poses questions about what data is available and how to build trust. Ethical challenges are noted around data protection, privacy, transparency, and purpose. The goal is to use analytics to facilitate learning while avoiding instructivist approaches and stress for learners.
Lightweight approaches to standardization such as XCRI focus on short development time, open membership, and interoperability over formal endorsement and conformance. XCRI was created to address the lack of a standard for exchanging course information between university systems. It has gained adoption through practical pilots and now engages with policymakers to support reengineering of education sector processes. As XCRI matures, it aims to work more closely with vendors and participate in formal standardization processes.

Standards as enablers for innovation in education - a reality checkTore Hoel
This document discusses challenges with the standardization process in education. It notes that standardization is paradoxical, as it aims to both constrain and enable innovation. The standardization process involves creators developing specifications, but there can be barriers to participation that limit input. Standards must balance being comprehensive yet understandable for implementers and users. Feedback from implementers and users is also important but often lacking. Overall, greater engagement is needed from all parties to better support the full innovation cycle from idea to implementation.
The document discusses the relationship between standardization and innovation, noting that while standards can create barriers to creativity, they can also drive implementation of new ideas and technologies when developed collaboratively between universities and industry. Universities are encouraged to include more knowledge about technical standards and the standardization process in curricula to help address the current lack of awareness about how standards support innovation.
ECR Europe Forum '08. Implementing sustainable changeECR Community
This document discusses implementing sustainable change through joint research collaboration between industry and academia. It provides examples of past successful collaborations like the MIT auto studies of the 1980s and lean supply chain projects. Current areas of research focus are addressed emerging consumer concerns like environmental sustainability. The role of academia is to conduct relevant research through projects initiated by both industry and academia. Bridging the gap between research and implementation requires practices being turned into proven methods. The International Commerce Institute is discussed as a forum to advance knowledge through various means like research sponsorship and thought leader forums.

Standardization is the process of developing technical standards to promote innovation. It establishes uniform specifications and practices. While standardization facilitates trade and enhances visibility, there can be conflicts with patents which provide monopoly rights versus the collective use of standards. For research, standardization aspects are not always easy due to less common patenting in Europe. The FITT project plans a workshop to discuss the role of research in standardization and how research results can fit standards while research institutions access standards in progress. The workshop aims to bring together research, industry, and policy stakeholders to effectively reach targets and debate across disciplines.
Standardisation is the process of developing and agreeing upon technical standards. A standard is a document that establishes uniform engineering or technical specifications, criteria, methods, processes, or practices. Standardisation, while promoting innovation, is an important part of the R&D-activities. Even in the very early stage of research, standardization is yet an issue, e.g. for the new technology to be universally recognized, having a quick launch to market, ensuring quality and facilitating trade, enhancing visibility and transparency.

- The document proposes a new concept called a Key Knowledge Sharing Point (KKSP) to study crossroads in global innovation projects where knowledge sharing may breakdown.
- A KKSP is defined as a critical stage in a process where certain barriers could influence overall project success if key knowledge is not properly shared.
- The concept is tested through two case studies, one where key knowledge was available but not shared at the right time, and another where mobilization occurred but translation of key knowledge was missing.
- Further research is suggested to better identify and utilize KKSPs, such as focusing on the problematization stage of translation processes.

Acceleration refers to combining processes, tools, and methods to help companies launch innovations and bring them to mainstream markets faster. It involves four iterative phases: 1) opportunity mapping to identify challenges and opportunities through foresight and customer understanding; 2) developing a business model and minimum viable solution with customers; 3) testing the business model through experimentation and iteration; and 4) scaling up the business. The goal is to accelerate a company through an iterative learning process involving the organization, customers, and innovation networks. Acceleration concepts apply broadly and aim to speed innovation adoption through lean startup methods, validated learning, and ecosystem involvement.
ISPIM 2012 - Developing grounded theory on organizational innovationMLarraza
This slideshow was used at XXIII ISPIM Conference to present an academic article with the same title: "Developing grounded theory on organizational innovation".
Organizational innovation is currently becoming increasingly relevant for business competitiveness, but the body of research that deals with it is still rather limited. In fact, its “official” recognition as an innovation type by Oslo Manual only goes back to 2005. Still today, however, its analysis is considered methodologically challenging. Assuming that organizational innovation tends to be highly firm-specific, research methods should account for such contextuality in order to profound the understanding of how an organizational innovation process is initiated, developed and evaluated. Therefore, grounded theory is proposed as a suitable methodology to reach thorough understanding of organizational innovation processes, and the progress of its application on a first case study is also presented. Preliminary results have helped identifying the new organizational methods applied and the type of change process developed in the company studied.
This document summarizes a study on business catalysts that enable circular economy business within industrial networks. The study identifies six key types of business catalysts: 1) exchange catalysts that create supply and demand, 2) value creation catalysts, 3) competence catalysts, 4) business model catalysts, 5) collaboration catalysts, and 6) market creation catalysts. These catalysts can initiate and enhance circular economy technology and innovation business by addressing barriers identified in previous research. The findings contribute to research on business networks, sustainability, and the transition to a circular economy by providing a comprehensive set of drivers to accelerate circular business models and sustainable growth across industries.
European Learning technology standardisation in crisis due to lack of opennessTore Hoel
This document discusses issues with standardization in European learning technology due to a lack of openness. It notes that the European Commission's policy of requiring free and open specifications clashes with the business model of formal standards organizations like CEN. It also examines differences in how creators, implementers, and users view openness. The document argues that standards bodies should consider implementation factors and seek more user feedback to help address challenges in both developing and adopting standards.

The document calls for establishing several resources to help institutions, including tools for assessing readiness, developing strategies, conducting research, and managing data and analytics processes according to privacy standards.
Smart Learning Environments - a framework for standardisation?Tore Hoel
1) Smart learning environments (SLEs) could provide a framework for standardizing learning technologies, but the term "smart" is problematic without a clear definition.
2) Existing SLE frameworks from researchers like Koper could structure standards work but may not reflect market needs.
3) Taking a pragmatic approach by developing smaller, self-contained standards informed by—but not dictated by—SLE frameworks may be more effective than large, multipart standards.
Learning analytics in a standardisation contextTore Hoel
This document discusses learning analytics in the context of standardization. It begins by outlining 5 forces that are changing the world: access to data, viewing student data as a resource to be mined and used, concerns about student privacy, and using technology like fitbits and social media monitoring to track students. It then discusses key concepts in learning analytics like definitions, benefits for learners, teachers, and institutions. Other topics covered include the learning analytics process, addressing privacy and data protection, and the potential role of standardization in learning analytics.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
