Citizen Science: An applied research designed for amateurs & volunteers - A ...Peri Kourakli
It is a type of research in which the citizens (amateurs and no professional researchers) take action and support a targeted research. The selection of the participants for this research varies from a very simple (open to anybody) to more complex processes (eg. to a selected audience or a selected number of participants).
The results of the research are analyzed by expert researchers who also ensure their publication to a broader or targeted audience.

Technology and the outdoors: Some experiential possibilitiesJames Neill
There is a philosophical tension in outdoor education about the role of technology. On the one hand, we strip clients of modern technology and engage them in simple living, adventurous activities in natural environments. On the other hand, there are new experiential learning opportunities available via mobile devices, the internet, and multi-media, etc. How might 21st century technology be used to enhance outdoor education? Possibilities include digital photography, video, audio, maps, blogs, wikis, geocaching, pedometers, and virtual environments. More information: http://wilderdom.com/tech

Connaway, Lynn Silipigni. 2016. “Visitors and Residents: The Hows and Whys of Engagement with Technology.” Presented at the Library Association of the Republic of China (LAROC) Annual Meeting, Taiwan, December 10.
I gave this talk at a conference for young scientists in New Zealand, "Running Hot": www.runninghot.org.nz. It was a great meeting. My slides are mostly images, so may not make too much sense.
Abstract follows: Impressed with the telephone, Arthur Mee predicted in 1898 that if videoconferencing could be developed, ‘earth will be in truth a paradise.’ Since his time, rapid technological change, in particular in telecommunications, has transformed the scientific playing field in ways that while not entirely paradisical, certainly have profound implications for New Zealand scientists. The Internet has abolished distance, as Mee also predicted–a New Zealand scientist can participate as fully in online discussions as anyone else, and their blog can be every bit as influential. Exponential improvements in networks, computing, sensors, and data storage are also profoundly transforming the practice of science in many disciplines. But those seeking to leverage these advances become painfully familiar with the ‘dirty underbelly’ of exponentials: if you don’t constantly innovate, you can fall behind exponentially fast. Such considerations pose big challenges for the individual scientist and for institutions, for researchers and educators, and for research funders. Some of the old ways of researching and educating need to be preserved, others need to be replaced to take advantage of new methods. But what should we preserve? What should we seek to change?

What Actually Is Artificial Intelligence?Doug Clow
Talk for MK Geek Night, 23 Sep 2021
AI means more hype, more technology, more future - and more money! But what actually is it? In this talk, Doug will explain what people mean by artificial intelligence and machine learning, what sort of problems they can solve, and how they do it. We'll see a range of examples where they're being used, and look at how it goes well and how it goes wrong, from entertaining AI weirdness to serious algorithmic bias. You won't end up being able to implement techniques like Support Vector Machines or Generative Adversarial Networks (unless you already could) but you should end up with a better idea of what the people who can are up to.
How to get to Runter End: Generating English placenames with a neural networkDoug Clow
These are slides for a talk at MK Geek Night, Thu 7 March 2019. Doug trained a neural network on the official database of placenames in England, then got it to generate its own suggestions. Some were convincing, some were funny, and some even turned out to be real places. Doug will give a bit of an explanation of how he did it, and show some of the best results.

A partial history of Educational Technology at the Open UniversityDoug Clow
This is a talk given at the OU's Computers and Learning Research Group, on 17 Jan 2019. In it I give a very partial history of educational technology at the Open University, since its founding in 1969 to the present day. It’ll be partial in multiple senses. A full history would take far longer than a single session. If I gave a comprehensively synoptic account, it’d be too broad-brush to be interesting. So I’ll be selecting elements to focus on, and I’ll be unashamedly partial in picking the ones that appeal particularly to me. We’ve always been pioneers in using technology to help our students learn. What that means has changed profoundly in some ways, and is much the same in others. As Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Come along to hear the digital equivalent of “I remember when all this was fields”!
Where is the evidence? A call to action for learning analyticsDoug Clow
Keynote presentation at LASI-Rocky Mountains online conference, 12 June 2017, based on a similar talk at LAK17, Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference 2017, Vancouver.

LAEP Visions of the Future of Learning AnalyticsDoug Clow
Presentation on the LACE project's Visions of the Future of Learning Analytics work from the LAEP project's expert workshop in Amsterdam, 15-16 March 2016.
How can universities scale up learning analytics beyond small-scale pilots to seriously use data to improve student learning? This interactive workshop was designed to help you think this through for your institution.
Universities are hard to change. Having good data and analytics is a good start, but is only one part of success. This session will provide tools and frameworks to help you analyse what else is needed, building on experiences of successful large-scale learning analytics activity at the Open University and the University of Technology, Sydney, and from the pan-European Learning Analytics Community Exchange project.
Slides for a talk at Bett, London, 20 January 2016.

Moving through MOOCs: Pedagogy, Learning and Patterns of Engagement.
Presentation at EC-TEL 2015, September, 2015, Toledo, Spain.
[This is the shorter, more visual version. The detailed version is available at http://www.slideshare.net/R3beccaF/moving-through-moocs-pedagogy-learning-and-patterns-of-engagement.]
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are part of the lifelong learning experience of people worldwide. Many of these learners participate fully. However, the high levels of dropout on most of these courses are a cause for concern. Previous studies have suggested that there are patterns of engagement within MOOCs that vary according to the pedagogy employed. The current paper builds on this work and examines MOOCs from different providers that have been offered on the FutureLearn platform. A cluster analysis of these MOOCs shows that engagement patterns are related to pedagogy and course duration. Learners did not work through a three-week MOOC in the same ways that learners work through the first three weeks of an eight-week MOOC.
Creating an action plan for learning analyticsDoug Clow
Slides for a talk at Bett 2015, London, on Friday 23 January at Excel.
Learning analytics has great potential. By using data more effectively, we can understand and improve learning and the learning environment. Trail-blazing projects, exciting demonstrations and earnest strategy papers set out a compelling vision for data in HE.
That vision can sometimes seem far from institutional reality. How can we get some of those benefits for our learners?
This interactive workshop will help participants assess their institution’s current capability for making use of learning analytics, and help them plan for action. The facilitators will draw on a wide range of practical experience, including from the pan-European Learning Analytics Community Exchange project.
Learning Analytics: Making learning better?Doug Clow
Learning Analytics: Making learning better?
Slides for a talk at Bett 2015, London, Fri 23 January, as part of the LACE project (www.laceproject.eu)
This panel discussion starts with a short introduction to learning analytics and educational data mining, highlighting how European schools are using different types of data to help support, manage and predict learning outcomes. It includes viewpoints from national school networks in the Nordic countries and the Netherlands, a research input from the European Commission supported LACE project highlighting research on the use of learning analytics and an expert input on ethical and privacy issues in the application of learning analytics. Participants will be encouraged to share their views and where interested to join the growing LACE Community
