The document discusses challenges facing businesses and proposes solutions through the Business Services School. It outlines societal, technological, and commercial challenges including an aging workforce, chronic diseases, data growth, and the need for knowledge-intensive services. The Business Services School aims to develop people and facilitate performance through programs aligned with business needs, a focus on practical skills, and continuous learning trends like just-in-time and virtual action learning.
This document discusses how the rise of digital media and the internet has led to long-tail success, where niche interests can find audiences. It notes that broadcasters used to be able to reach millions but now the internet allows millions of niche broadcasts to reach narrow audiences. Whereas mainstream media needed huge audiences, online communities can succeed with just 10-15 people following specialized interests.
This document discusses blogs, including their history and definitions. Blogs originated in the mid-1990s as online diaries and have since evolved to include various forms of content like text, images, and video. Blogs allow for decentralized publishing and social interaction. Popular blogging platforms include Blogger, WordPress, and Tumblr. The document also covers blogging in education and how it can develop students' reflective writing, collaboration, and other skills.
The Affordances of 4G Mobile Networks within the UK Higher Education Sector (...Dr Elaine Garcia
4G mobile networks offer higher bandwidth and lower latency than 3G, allowing for improved mobile internet access. A case study was conducted of UK educational institutions exploring the potential uses of 4G services through mobile hotspots. Interviews and speed tests were conducted. Some found 4G enabled independent work while traveling and more flexible teaching locations. However, coverage was still limited and did not change all users' practices. The conclusion is that as 4G networks expand, they could support new forms of teaching and learning through increased mobile access.

Captured Alive: Generating visually rich evidence to support learning (throug...Vanguard Visions
Traditionally evidence in education has been captured through text and writing. This has limited how evidence could be represented, especially when demonstrating practical skills and applied knowledge.
Eportfolios and mobile devices are being used to visually capture evidence within the Australian vocational education and training (VET) sector to demonstrate people’s exiting skills when entering a course or while remaining in the workplace.
Capturing evidence through video, audio and digital images is allowing the better representation of a person’s skills and ability, thus providing cost saving to learners, employers and training providers and enabling people who are less text-literate to gain a qualification.
This evidence collection method is also allowing individuals to develop their digital literacy skills by being supported to effectively represent themselves online. This evidence is also being re-used and re-purposed by learners to gain employment or a promotion; entry into higher qualifications and/or gain credit/articulation; as well as applying for grants or entering exhibitions.
This document provides an introduction to using computers in education. It discusses how learners have evolved with different generations and the key transformations in technology from analog to digital and isolated to connected. It introduces the concepts of personal learning environments which are learner-centric and allow students to access information from various sources through browser-based tools. The goals are discussed as creating responsive open learning environments to support self-regulated learning.
This document discusses best practices for content delivery platforms to support artificial intelligence projects. It recommends that platforms (1) accept that they do not have all the data needed and should integrate third-party sources, (2) provide consistent tagging of content, (3) offer a lightweight programmatic interface, (4) embrace allowing large amounts of content to be taken offline for analysis, and (5) enable complex filtering and selection of data. The document also suggests platforms could consider offering preprocessed datasets or AI tools as new products.

Here are some key points on taxonomies and their role:
- Taxonomies provide structure and organization to information, helping users find and understand what is available. They are an important part of information architecture.
- There are different approaches to building taxonomies using experts, machines and users. An optimal approach balances these based on factors like scale, risk and user needs.
- Experts provide high quality and consistency but can be expensive. Machines provide scale through automation but struggle with ambiguity. Users provide low-cost input but lack consistency.
- Taxonomies should be applied through both automated and manual methods like tagging. They should also be made accessible to users through visualizations and integration into other
Adam Mentor - Building an Adaptive Learning Ecosystem at Autodesk #xapicampAaron Silvers
The document discusses Autodesk's vision for creating an adaptive, personalized learning experience through an integrated learning ecosystem. The ecosystem would track users' competencies based on their actual software use, integrate learning tools and content, and provide personalized recommendations. This would be achieved by connecting users' activity data, competency frameworks, and curated learning content and delivering the right learning experiences at the right time. The ecosystem would provide value for Autodesk, its channel partners, other partners, user groups, and end users. It would require capabilities like competency modeling, taxonomy, and intelligent recommendation engines.
The document discusses possible futures for knowledge management, including knowledge leverage approaches, knowledge community approaches, and personal knowledge management. Knowledge leverage approaches aim to capture and disseminate organizational knowledge for increased productivity. Knowledge community approaches see knowledge as owned by professions and focus on facilitating knowledge sharing between communities. Personal knowledge management approaches view knowledge as owned by individuals and focus on strengthening personal expertise. The document also introduces the concept of "Pärjäin," a potential digital assistant tool to help individuals cope and manage knowledge in complex digital environments.
This document discusses enriching affiliation networks in SKOS-based datasets. It proposes a tripartite model representing users annotating resources with tags linked by SKOS broader/narrower properties. This model can be represented as graphs like an actors graph obtained from a dataset with authors, publications and MeSH concepts. Broader semantic relations between tags allow identifying patterns like parent-child and sibling relations. The approach aims to enhance information discovery and help connect users based on emerging relations between topics.
InfoFusion is an information access platform from OpenText that allows users to discover, analyze, and act on information from across an organization. It connects to different data sources, extracts metadata, and provides a unified search index. The roadmap outlines expanding connectors, search and analytics capabilities, and embeddable user interface components over the next three years. It aims to address issues like information silos, complex IT environments, and the need to access both structured and unstructured data.
EuSakai: Directions for Standards in Teaching and LearningCharles Severance
This document summarizes the history and future direction of standards in teaching and learning within the Sakai project. It discusses how Sakai has been essential to progress in open standards over the past decade through its support of standards like IMS LTI and IMS CC. It notes that Sakai 2.9 currently has excellent built-in support for these standards. Finally, it states that Sakai is well positioned to continue leading the industry in advancing portability and interoperability through its upcoming work on standards like LTI 2.0 and Lesson Builder APIs.
Learning Forum London 2010 - Summary for CAPLA 2010Don Presant
This document provides a summary of the Learning Forum London 2010 conference. It discusses several topics that were covered, including projects using eportfolios for health applications, reflective learning, and student guidance. Emerging technologies mentioned include open source platforms like Moodle and Sakai, as well as social software like YouTube and Twitter. International eportfolio developments in Europe, Australia, the United States, and Canada were also reviewed. The document concludes by discussing the potential for a lifelong learning eportfolio system in Manitoba, Canada called Career Portfolio Manitoba.
Interlinking Personal Semantic Data on the Semantic Desktop and the Web of DataLaura Dragan
The document outlines research into interlinking personal semantic data on desktops and the web by discussing background on personal information management and the semantic web/desktop. It poses two main research questions: 1) how to build semantic applications and tools for the semantic desktop, and 2) how to expand the semantic desktop scope to the web of data. The document then discusses directions and sub-questions to address these research questions.
This article proposes a new e-portfolio system called PrPl that addresses key problems with current systems. PrPl leverages semantic indexing and cloud computing to allow users to manage their own data across applications in a sustainable way. It uses an "intelligent agent" or "butler" to track, verify, and intelligently present a user's digital artifacts stored across the cloud based on semantics. The authors argue this system could provide a customizable, responsive, and intelligent e-portfolio solution for lifelong learning. However, the article does not fully address issues of privacy, security, and cultural implications of relying on cloud infrastructure.
This document provides an overview of using deep learning techniques for recommender systems. It begins with establishing the need for recommender systems due to increasing information overload. It then gives a basic introduction and agenda for the talk, covering motivation, basics, deep learning for vehicle recommendations, and scalability/production. The talk discusses using deep learning approaches like wide and deep learning as well as sequential models to improve recommendation relevance for applications like vehicle recommendations. It provides details on preprocessing, training a classifier, candidate generation and ranking for recommendations. The document concludes with discussing deploying such a system at scale and current trends in recommender system research.
Recommender systems support the decision making processes of customers with personalized suggestions. These widely used systems influence the daily life of almost everyone across domains like ecommerce, social media, and entertainment. However, the efficient generation of relevant recommendations in large-scale systems is a very complex task. In order to provide personalization, engines and algorithms need to capture users’ varying tastes and find mostly nonlinear dependencies between them and a multitude of items. Enormous data sparsity and ambitious real-time requirements further complicate this challenge. At the same time, deep learning has been proven to solve complex tasks like object or speech recognition where traditional machine learning failed or showed mediocre performance.
Join Marcel Kurovski to explore a use case for vehicle recommendations at mobile.de, Germany’s biggest online vehicle market. Marcel shares a novel regularization technique for the optimization criterion and evaluates it against various baselines. To achieve high scalability, he combines this method with strategies for efficient candidate generation based on user and item embeddings—providing a holistic solution for candidate generation and ranking.
The proposed approach outperforms collaborative filtering and hybrid collaborative-content-based filtering by 73% and 143% for MAP@5. It also scales well for millions of items and users returning recommendations in tens of milliseconds.

This document summarizes research on student use of Facebook for informal learning and peer support. The researchers conducted social network analysis of 90 art and design students on Facebook to analyze relationships. They found that students who used Facebook more were more likely to attend class, achieve higher grades, and stay in the course compared to those who were less connected or "loners" on Facebook. While students formed somewhat insular networks, Facebook still allowed for bridging relationships across groups. The analysis suggests Facebook plays a role in students' informal learning and peer support during their studies.
JISC Change Agents' Network - 17th-18th March 2015 - Smoke and Mirrors... #JI...Dr Elaine Garcia
1) The document summarizes a project at Plymouth College of Art that provided 7 students with mobile devices for a year to evaluate their use in an educational context across different disciplines like games design, costume design, and illustration.
2) The students found the devices convenient and useful for tasks like taking notes, photos, and carrying their portfolio electronically, but their views differed depending on their discipline.
3) The project achieved some student-led changes like staff considering new ways of teaching with technology, but it also faced challenges of being a small scale project and sustaining changes after key people left the college.

The Changing Roles of Staff and Students Within a Connectivist Educational Bl...Dr Elaine Garcia
The document discusses a case study exploring how the roles of students and staff changed within a connectivist learning model using blogs. It found that the blog environment empowered students to create peer communities and take more responsibility for their own learning through feedback. However, staff still maintained authority and student groups were not fully self-organized. It concludes that blogs can shift student roles to focus more on peer feedback, but full engagement is needed for connectivist learning networks to fully develop without staff authority. Further research on longer term blog use across disciplines is recommended.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COLLECTIVE GROUP BLOGS AS A TOOL FOR REFLECTION WITHIN E...Dr Elaine Garcia
This document discusses a case study that examined the effectiveness of collective blogs in supporting experiential learning. Students were assigned to teams and asked to create blogs to document their experiences in a simulated work project. Analysis found the blog with the most posts and comments showed the most evidence of reflective learning through feedback and discussion. However, engagement varied between teams, suggesting blogs more effectively support learning when students actively participate through writing, reading, and commenting. The conclusion is collective blogs can facilitate experiential learning when used interactively, but assessment may need to incentivize participation.
An Evaluation of Blogs as an Effective Space for Student Collaborative Learni...Dr Elaine Garcia
This document discusses a case study evaluating the use of blogs to support collaborative learning among students in a UK higher education illustration program. It finds that blogs can effectively support the key aspects of collaborative learning, including positive interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-face interaction, interpersonal skills, and group processing. However, the case study also finds mixed results, with levels of participation varying between groups and within groups. Overall, the study concludes that blogs provide a useful tool to structure collaborative learning activities for art and design students, while allowing instructors better visibility into student contributions.
Evaluating the use of Social Networking Sites as a Tool for Knowledge Sharing...Dr Elaine Garcia
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the use of social networking sites (SNS) like Facebook to facilitate knowledge sharing in higher education institutions in Egypt and Iraq. It found that while SNS showed potential, there were also challenges to adoption. Both institutions lacked clear knowledge sharing strategies and had differing levels of cultural acceptance of and technological barriers to SNS use. The study concluded that an institutional approach is needed that addresses strategies, management support, technological issues, and cultural/social factors specific to each context.
4G - Evolution or Revolution (JANET Netskillsworkshop 2014)Dr Elaine Garcia
This document discusses the expectations and realities of 4G mobile services in UK higher education. It begins with statistics showing the rapid growth of mobile data usage and the benefits of 4G such as higher bandwidth and lower latency. The document then examines how 4G could impact mobile learning by allowing teachers flexibility beyond the classroom and enabling distance learning. However, interviews suggest the experience has been more of an evolution than revolution, as WiFi is still widely used and productivity gains have been mixed. The document concludes that while promises portray a revolution, experiences indicate a more gradual evolution.
The document discusses how personalized search results and algorithms filter the internet content we see, trapping us in invisible "filter bubbles" that show us a limited selection of information based on our past searches and behaviors. This personalized filtering of content impacts democracy by limiting our exposure to different viewpoints and prioritizing what websites think we want to see rather than what we need to see. The document argues we must see more relevant, important, uncomfortable, and challenging information from other perspectives on the internet.
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of Web Residency (HEA V&R Event 2014)Dr Elaine Garcia
The document discusses the potential good, bad, and ugly aspects of student web residency or online presence within teaching and learning. The good can include promoting social presence, collaboration, engagement and 21st century skills development. Examples given are using blogs for reflection and connection, and Google tools to facilitate group work and share resources. However, the bad includes issues like bullying on Facebook, plagiarism on blogs, and defamation on Instagram. The ugly refers to more serious risks like threatening behavior and social media encouraging short-termism without consideration of long-term reputation. Guidelines are provided on maintaining an accurate online profile and avoiding behaviors like impersonation or ballot stuffing.
The Use of Facebook and Social Network Analysis (ETF 2014)Dr Elaine Garcia
The document summarizes research on using Facebook and social network analysis to predict which students may be at risk of not completing a further education course. A study was conducted analyzing the Facebook networks and survey responses of 90 students. Key findings included identifying "hub" students with many connections, and correlations between centrality in the network and factors like gender, age, attendance, and early departure. The conclusion recommends continued testing of this model to help identify at-risk students earlier and maximize weak social ties.
The document discusses the future of the internet and outlines 6 key trends: 1) Windows declining as a platform as devices become more varied, 2) Search engines like Google facing new challenges, 3) Apps surpassing the traditional web, 4) HTML5 changing web development, 5) Tablets growing in popularity, and 6) Social media becoming less important. It also touches on issues like privacy, an increasing divide between connected and unconnected people, and the rise of wearable technology bringing unintended consequences. The future of the internet is presented as uncertain but likely to be very different than the present.
This document discusses a project to make course information more accessible and comparable for prospective students. There are three main drivers for the project: allowing students to compare academic experiences, improving student outcomes, and increasing transparency. The project will fund institutions to publish structured course data and create a demonstration site to search and compare courses, especially those not easily found like online programs. This will standardize data and improve quality while making it easier for students to find and compare options. The document then provides an overview of the project plan, including technical development of course feeds, an aggregator site, and expanding the amount of information included in course data.
