In-network computing gives you the ability to compute at a particular point in the network where it can deliver maximum value. This opens new avenues of how applications and services are conceptualized or implemented, harvesting the benefits of distributed computing. In-network computing has significant benefits for the network infrastructure as it improves latency for end user/ devices while it also reduces the network traffic to a great extent. Emerging technologies like IoT and its application can immensely benefit by using In-network computing technology in conjunction with cloud technologies.

The discord between social and professional digital connectednessSue Beckingham
Within the last decade we have seen how technology has changed the way we communicate. Mobile phones are now ubiquitous and for many access to the internet. Connecting and communicating in social spaces has provided many, the opportunity to extend their social networks, overcoming temporal, spatial and geographical boundaries. Globally dispersed connections have been reunited. Multimedia sharing and user generated content flies through the air and adds a richness to the dialogues that ensue.
However, despite the advice on responsible use of social media that is readily available, for some there seems to be a naivety or unawareness of the impact of their digital identity as they transcend the 'digital airwaves'. There is a blurring of social and professional that is open for all to see. Monitoring and surveillance is something anyone can undertake. My talk will highlight some of the dangers of open digital connectedness and will also look at how taking ownership of your online presence can not only enhance the way others perceive you, but also help you highlight your professional you.

Using social media safely and appropriately in higher education - A reflectio...Sue Beckingham
In 2013 we developed guidance for using social media for learning which was student facing and that staff could also access to guide their advice to students. The development of the guidance was prompted by an increasing number of requests from academic staff who were concerned about student online behaviours in social media spaces. Most of these requests for help were from staff on professional courses with staff concerns primarily about potentially unprofessional online behaviours. We focused on student guidance for personal responsibility and online safety, followed by broad-brush guidance in how to use social media in learning and teaching. We then developed guidance in three further areas: Using social media for learning; Managing your digital footprint; How to use social media responsibly; and Using social media to enhance your employability. We have updated this guidance a few times in the last 10 years and now in 2023 we have redeveloped the guidance again, giving a thorough overhaul and fresh update. In our presentation we will share our new guidance and discuss what is new and what has stayed the same over the past 10 years.
From monologue to dialogue - Scaffolding multi-perspective and co-constructed...Sue Beckingham
Poster & Pitch Presentation at the AHE Conference #assessmentconf23
Abstract
As educators we want to encourage our students to react to and enact upon feedback given. However for students to benefit from feedback they need to understand the components of feedback literacy (Carless and
Boud, 2018), the value of feedforward (Sambell et al, 2012) and how to connect the dots between different
types of feedback.
Supplementing one-way monologic feedback with interactive and dialogic feedback, provides students with opportunities to make sense of it. Furthermore it provides tutors with feedback on how students negotiate the
meaning of not just the feedback but also the assessment guidance and marking criteria (Bloxham and West, 2007). Being able to ask questions and engage in conversations about their feedback, enable students to take ownership of their own development whilst feeling supported. However we know that students are not always
proactive receivers of feedback (Winstone et al, 2017). Whilst the role of the tutor in this process is important, there’s a place for others to contribute. Yang and Carless’s (2013:287) feedback triangle makes a valuable
connection between the content of feedback, the social end interpersonal negotiation of feedback, and the organisation and management of feedback. Yet unless the student is guided and supported to understand how to recognise the many different ways feedback can be given and develop trust in those giving feedback, they may find it hard to engage with any feedback and the value of ongoing social learning relationships. As McArthur and Huxham (2013) argue, the use of dialogic feedback should be introduced from the start and
become an ongoing practice the students develop confidence in.
The aim of my poster will be to visualise the interconnected components that can impact on the effective use of feedback. Based on an evaluation of practice, a case study of a second-year elective module will be used to demonstrate how scaffolding a variety of feedback mechanisms can help build feedback literacy, provide
clarity of what is expected from students and identify pinch points. During the module ongoing formative feedback is given to students not only by their Tutor, but also their peers and the Clients students work with on an applied project. This includes verbal and written dialogic formative feedback and the integration of peer led
social media and collaborative technologies for interactive and reflective feedback. The outcomes of the students’ final piece of summative assessment are greatly enhanced.
Students' use of social media for academic studies - The connecting bridge be...Sue Beckingham
Engaging in groupwork can have many benefits, but in practice can become fraught with challenges. Students participating in groupwork projects and activities are more likely to succeed if they can meet regularly, feel they are included and belong, and know how they can contribute. The diverse student body include those that commute to university, juggle work and have caring responsibilities. They may have a learning contract or as international students are listening, learning, and speaking in a second language. All of these can impact on the logistics and success of in-person meetings. My research will share from the student’s perspective how social media and digital technology can support group cohesion, trust, and productivity. Insights from final year students will provide feedback on their experience of how technology has helped them develop effective groupwork skills; and from recent graduates how they now apply these skills in the workplace.
How should our higher education institutions respond to innovations in new AI...Sue Beckingham
Title:
How should our higher education institutions respond to innovations in new AI-based language processing software (like Chat GPT)?
Summary
Education Development staff and units are already receiving enquiries from academics who are concerned about new AI-based language processing software (like Chat GPT) and more recent innovations from Microsoft and Google, using current internet search data. This session will summarise main issues and the most likely developments in this software before suggesting major steps which every institution could/should take to ensure that we take advantage of its considerable educational potential.
Outline
A leading expert on artificial intelligence (AI) and its application to learning, Donald Clark, suggests that the date of ChatGPT’s official release:
“...will go down in history as the day a new wave of innovation around AI was given birth. This will change everything in learning.” (1)
In its own words:
“ChatGPT can understand, generate and respond to human language. It is a sophisticated technology that can help in various applications like chatbot and other language generation tasks.” (2)
ChatGPT became the fastest-growing software application of all time, immediately generating media headlines such as: “Goodbye homework” (The Telegraph) and “AI bot ChatGPT stuns academics with essay-writing skills” (The Guardian)
Academics are running pilots/trials (3) and have already demonstrated that ChatGPT can:
• Write assignments and reports (which can be adapted to communicate to different levels of audience) and achieve pass grades at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. (4)
• Grade assignments against assessment criteria and produce an appropriate feedback report. (5)
• Write module specifications. (5)
• Produce lesson plans for specified topics. (5)
• Be a useful study aid (6)
• Construct several different drafts on a given topic. (6)
• Produce outlines for essays or reports. (6)
• Write working computer code. (7)
• Produce illustrations from a written description. (8)
ChatGPT’s success and new products (such as Bing from Microsoft and the Bard from Google) raises fundamental questions about its use by students. Will they use it to enhance learning (as ‘study buddy’ or ‘writer’s assistant’) or as a sophisticated plagiarism tool (which cannot yet be reliably detected by tools like Turnitin)?
This session will summarise main issues and the most likely developments in this software (9, 10) before suggesting major steps which every institution could/should take to ensure that we take advantage of its considerable educational affordances and potential “PedAIgogical” impact (11).

Exploring modality in the context of blended and hybrid education.pptxSue Beckingham
In this session Simon and Sue will present their individual but inter-related work examining modes of learning and mixed-modal education. With reference to Modes of Learning in Higher Education (Beckingham, 2021) and the Subject, Pedagogy and Modality (SPaM) Framework (Thomson, 2022), the session will introduce participants to proposed definitions for learning modes as well as a framework to support the development of mixed-modal curriculum. Drawing upon their own experiences, the presenters will provide examples of where mixed-modal design can be most effective and how such a process can support a future hybrid curriculum underpinned by “sound pedagogical reasons” (Office for Students, 2022) as we move towards an education experience that will ultimately become more blended by default.
Mattering, meaning making and motivation - Building trust and respect through...Sue Beckingham
Making connections, interacting, and learning to collaborate with peers are vital components of the student experience. This may start in person but there are now many more ways that extend both informal and formal learning through the development of multimodal social learning communities. Students are empowered to co-create their own virtual learning places using social media providing valued space to develop a more personalised and inclusive learning relationship; and the choice to interact when and where they choose. Scaffolded by tutors, this can provide support to develop interpersonal communication and cooperation.
This presentation will share suggestions on how social media can support mattering where students build trust and feel significant; steps to ensure they understand what is expected of them in these spaces; and shared experiences where students have learned to work cooperatively, motivating them to achieve the goals they have planned.
A practical approach to amplifying scholarly practice through digital technol...Sue Beckingham
This presentation focuses on approaches individuals can employ to share their teaching excellence in a way that celebrates their contribution, assures recognition, and secures metrics that offer an indication of the works reach, value and impact.
Taking into consideration the broad spectrum of work that can be defined as ‘scholarly practice’ e.g., research informed teaching, pedagogy in and beyond the classroom, and the scholarship of learning and teaching, our presentation illuminates several approaches and demonstrates how they can be used to share these important outputs more widely.
Considering both the benefits and challenges, approaches to the effective dissemination of scholarship will include the innovative use of digital technology, highlight the ‘best’ social media platforms, and draw delegates attention to the award-winning National Teaching Repository.
Sharing real-life examples of scholarly outputs in multiple multi-media based formats (e.g., teaching resources, infographics and audio) we will demonstrate, step-by-step, the dissemination journey that delegates can adopt themselves. In addition to mapping the practical steps, the presentation will highlight how and why sharing one’s scholarship is beneficial, but also why it is important to find and try new ways of sharing.

Using social media safely and appropriately in higher education.pptxSue Beckingham
The almost ubiquitous use of mobile technology and easy access to social media apps, and more recently video conferencing software such as Zoom, provide multiple ways for individuals to interact. These technologies have been adopted by both educators and students and provide many useful ways to communicate and collaborate within and beyond the classroom. The acceleration of digital communication tools and widespread use of digital technology in our daily lives present tensions as the collection of personal data increasingly gives rise to privacy concerns. Furthermore, inappropriate online communications have resulted in serious situations and significant repercussions for those involved. It is therefore timely to revisit the guidance on appropriate online behaviour in the use of social media, and how we use technology safely, along with being clear about the potential implications if this advice is not heeded. In our session we will share the open access resources we have developed at Sheffield Hallam University with suggestions on how these could be used with students. These include: How to use social media responsibly, Managing your digital footprint, Using social media for learning, and Using social media to enhance your employability.
Using social media to create your own professional development and PLN.pptxSue Beckingham
This presentation consider sthe importance as an educator of developing a personal learning network (PLN) and the ways social media can contribute to your own professional development. Drawing upon the weekly Learning and Teaching in HE twitter chat (known as #LTHEchat) as an exemplar, I share what members of this community have valued as participants and for some being volunteer members of the LTHEchat organising team.
Getting to know your students through storytelling.pptxSue Beckingham
Starting university can be a daunting experience. As educators we want all our students to have a sense of belonging, to feel valued and respected. Spending time at the beginning of the academic year to get to know your students, for them to get to know each other, and for them to get to know you is a valuable way to put them at ease.
Cultivating an inclusive learning community develops confidence and students are more likely to engage. My presentation will share some of the activities my first-year students experience and how this contributes to student engagement.
Recommendations from the ground - Student led use of social media to foster i...Sue Beckingham
Prior research has highlighted that whilst engaging in groupwork can have many benefits, in practice it can also present a range of challenges. We know that our diverse student body includes those that commute to university, juggle work and have caring responsibilities; they may have a learning contract; or as international students are listening, learning, and speaking in a second language. All of these can impact on the logistics and success of in-person group meetings, a crucial component of groupwork. This poster outlines the outcomes of a qualitative study with recent graduates and final year students and their personal recommendations to make groupwork more inclusive, supportive and valued. The research will share from the student’s perspective how social media and digital technology can support group cohesion, trust, and productivity; along with suggestions that could help all students better prepare for a multimodal approach to groupwork.
The complex web of social interaction - Expanding virtual and spatial multili...Sue Beckingham
From an early age we learn how to communicate with others and develop an understanding of etiquette and what constitutes polite behaviour and good manners when interacting in person. The term ‘netiquette’ refers to internet etiquette. Welsh and Wright (2010) use the term netiquette as the rules of etiquette in digital communication and DeJong (2013:115) describe netiquette as "a term used for professional and polite practices online".
Students will use multiple ways to communicate with their friends and family in a social context; with peers and tutors throughout their learning and assessment experience; and with potential employers when seeking placements and graduate job opportunities. Communication may be in person or online, be formal or informal. Furthermore the modes of communication used will be multimodal integrating visual, audio, gestural and spatial patterns of meaning (Cope and Kalantzis, 2009). The New London Group (1996:63) coined the term multiliteracies to describe “the multiplicity of communications channels and media, and the increasing saliency of cultural and linguistic diversity”. There are expectations that students entering university will all have a command of these multiliteracies and the expected rules of netiquette. Moreover they may be judged and assessed on their interactions both in person and online. A significant question is where are they taught these skills and how do we know the students have developed them?
This poster considers a range of literacies required as networked individuals (Rainie and Wellman, 2012), and the need to provide students with guidance on professional social skills and multi literacy support. Drawing upon Miller’s (2015) multi literacies framework for university learning, suggestions for formative activities are given. These focus on six domains of literacy: institutional literacies, digital literacies, social and cultural literacies, critical literacies, language literacies, and academic literacies.
Learning as a Partnership - The Building Blocks of Multimodal Learning Commun...Sue Beckingham
Learning to learn is a lifetime endeavour. Anderson (2016) proposes that aspiration, self-awareness, curiosity, and vulnerability can help us to address new learning curves. Key to this is learning with and from others – learning as a partnership. My keynote will consider the different modes of learning students may experience in higher education and reflect on the importance and value of learning communities for each. I will share the PARTNERSHIP framework I am developing which proposes a collection of building blocks that when considered, can help to scaffold the development of learning communities.
Building a social learning community: Tips and tools for surviving a PhD and professional learning during a pandemic and beyond.
A summary of our fireside chat at #SocMedHE21

Undertaking independent professional learning or further study such as a PhD or EdD can be an isolating experience. You may be juggling full-time work and studying part-time; have caring responsibilities; studying in person or as a distance learner. Irrespective of study mode, the experience of being a PhD or EdD student is very different to a taught undergraduate or postgraduate degree where a cohort of students study together and follow the same curriculum for the main part of their degree. The PhD experience whilst an individual learning experience, can still open up opportunities for serendipitous conversations. These may occur on campus in the corridor, seminars, guest lectures, in the workplace, during social activities or through attending conferences. However, during the pandemic opportunities for such interactions were curtailed and all contact was shifted online through remote learning. The session will be facilitated through a ‘fireside chat’ where we will share the spaces (tools), places (groups), and resources that have helped us through the pandemic; considering those we will take forward to support our continued journey, those that we will try to incorporate, and those that we are glad to leave behind. This session will provide input to a co-created toolkit which will be shared openly for use and adaptation by others. The toolkit could also be used by individuals undertaking other types of professional development. This might include scholarship, research or study, for example an Academic Professional Higher Degree Apprenticeships, Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice or applying for a Senior/Principal Fellowship, SEDA Fellowship, CMALT (Certified Membership of ALT) or other professional recognition scheme.
Recognising the value of interdependence through cooperative active learningSue Beckingham
Presentation at the Practical Pedagogy Conference.
The events of the past 18 months have meant that many educators have had to adapt the way they teach and to undertake this online. For those who had already embraced active flexible learning, the transition online to some extent was made easier. In my session I will share my teaching approaches pre pandemic, during, and my plans for the coming academic year. This will demonstrate how active cooperative learning is an essential component of the student experience and one that complements both individual and competitive learning approaches.
Drawing upon Social Interdependence Theory (Brufee 1993, Johnson and Johnson 2010) I will highlight the conditions that are essential for effective cooperation and how this can help to develop students to become confident lifelong learners who are able to work both independently and collaboratively. I will also introduce the Learning Activity Smörgåsbord and the accompanying resources I am currently developing and seek feedback and further suggestions. This will then be shared with a Creative Commons licence and added to the National Teaching Repository.
“To be integrated is to feel secure, to feel connected.” The views and experi...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.

Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

2. So what is a Tweetchat?
A Tweetchat is a virtual meeting or gathering on Twitter to
discuss a common topic. The chat usually lasts one hour
and will include questions to stimulate discussion.
3. Tell me more about #LTHEchat
The Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (LTHE)
chat is a collaborative project using tweetchats as a
forum for synchronous discussion. Each will have a
specific focus and it will be up to the community to
decide what comes next. We will be inviting guest chat
facilitators too and hope that you will join us for some
speed CPD linked to learning and teaching in Higher
Education.
http://lthechat.com/
4. How does this work in Twitter?
In order to be able to view tweets relating to the chat, a
pre-agreed hashtag is shared. A hashtag is a word or
series of letters and/or numbers preceded by #
For example: #LTHEchat = Learning and Teaching in
Higher Education Chat
Participants in the tweetchat will include the hashtag in
all tweets.
5. How are Tweetchats organised?
A communication will be sent out by a tweetchat faciltator to say:
• What the chat is about - the topic that week
• What the chosen hashtag is - #LTHEchat
• When the chat will take place including the date and time
(It is useful to state GMT or your own time zone if your chat is open to a wide
and potentially international audience)
Communication about a tweetchat can be sent out as a tweet but may also be
placed on your website or blog and via any other communication channel you wish
to use.
#LTHEchat takes place on every Wednesday 8-9pm GMT
6. How do I find #LTHEchat?
You can view all the tweets containing #LTHEchat by
simply searching for #LTHEchat using the search bar in
Twitter.
Tweets containing this hashtag will then appear in your
timeline below.
7. The format of a tweetchat
Tweetchats often follow the format of a Q&A. The tweetchat facilitator will
prepare a selection of questions prior to the event. To help to highlight the
questions they can be preceded with Q1, Q2, Q3 etc. For example:
Q1 How do engage with CPD to enhance your practice? #LTHEchat
If you wish to respond to a question within your tweet always include the
designated hashtag and precede your tweet with A1, A2, A3 etc. This helps
others reading see which are the questions and which are the corresponding
answers.
A1 I have made new professional connections through LinkedIn and joined a
Discussion Group #LTHEchat
8. Do I have to tweet to take part?
The answer is no. If you just want to ‘listen’ in that is fine and a good way to
dip your toe in the water and get a feel for how tweetchats are run.
You can read the questions raised and answers by those who respond. As
you become more confident you can then contribute to the discussions taking
place.
If you can’t make the time slot then you can still follow the tweetchat later by
searching for the designated hashtag.
It is also possible to use the search facility in Twitter without an account. If
you go to https://twitter.com/search-home you can enter the #LTHEchat (or
any search term) and bring up tweets containing this.
9. Multilingual participation
The #LTHEchat tweetchats encourage parallel conversations in different
languages. This is a great way to help others learn along the way. You can
easily translate by using https://translate.google.co.uk/
10. Useful tools to use in tweetchats
You can follow a tweetchat using your smartphone, tablet,
notebook, laptop or PC via www.twitter.com and on smart
devices download the Twitter app.
Some find it easier to use a laptop or PC to open up two
tabs: one to view the questions and another to watch the
Tweetchat.
There are also other tools you may wish to explore.
11. Tweetchat
Using Tweetchat is a useful tool to view just the tweets for a chosen hashtag
in one space. You can also tweet from here. Here is the #LTHEchat link
12. Dashboards
Dashboards enable you to view different groups of tweets in columns. You can
therefore set up a column for #LTHEchat which then shows just the tweets
containing that hashtag.
Examples of dashboards are:
Hootsuite
Tweetdeck
13. Tagboard
This displays tweets for any hashtag you wish to search for. Whilst you only get
a snapshot of the latest tweets, it does provide a nice view of what is being
discussed.
From the Tagboard you can reply, retweet and favourite the tweets you see (but
you do need to be signed in to Twitter)
The #LTHEchat Tagboard can be found here:
https://tagboard.com/LTHEchat/194468
14. Storify
Storify is a free tool to curate the tweets after a tweetchat. It allows you to
gather the tweets containing your chosen hashtag and then display these within
a storyboard.
