Horizon Europe ‘Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society’ Consortia Building...KTN
The proposed approach involves using a "Citizen Dialog Kit" (CDK) platform to engage citizens in conversations at public places through wireless displays and an online platform. The CDK allows conveying real-time information to citizens and surveying their viewpoints. It empowers citizens to start conversations themselves. The proposer seeks a consortium that values engaging less spontaneously engaged citizens in their neighbourhoods and communities. As a university spin-off, the proposer brings the fully functioning CDK platform, customization expertise, and experience in citizen engagement projects and urban human-computer interaction evaluation studies.

The Battle of Fort Washington took place on November 16, 1776 in Manhattan, New York, where British forces led by General William Howe attacked and overwhelmed American defenses at Fort Washington. The Americans under General Magaw had constructed fortifications but they were not fully completed. The British launched a coordinated attack from all sides of the fort, closing in on the Americans. Unable to escape, General Magaw was forced to surrender the fort, resulting in nearly 3,000 American casualties and prisoners of war.
Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys captured Fort Ticonderoga on May 10, 1775 by surprising the small British garrison at dawn. They were able to force the fort's surrender and seize over 100 cannons and a large supply of artillery, which were later used to fortify Dorchester Heights and help turn the tide of the Revolutionary War in favor of the colonists. Fort Ticonderoga had changed hands between the French and British over the years and was an important strategic position controlling access via Lake Champlain.

Points are the fundamental building blocks of geometry and have no dimension. A line is a set of points between two endpoints. A line segment connects two points, while a ray has one endpoint and extends in one direction. An angle is formed by two rays with a common endpoint called the vertex. A coordinate system locates points using ordered pairs of numbers for the x and y coordinates. Distance between two points is calculated using their x and y coordinates in the distance formula.

Ernest Zacharevic is a 26-year-old Lithuanian artist who has created several murals in Penang, Malaysia. One of his murals depicts an old Chinese man selling buns, while another shows a magician performing a body-severing act. The murals use bright colors and depict scenes from old Penang to attract attention and portray messages. Mural art can communicate non-verbally through shapes, objects, and the manner of art. It allows mass communication of messages to the public with limited feedback in the form of social media posts. Mural art is often said to have positive or negative connotations for viewers depending on the emotions and perceptions it elicits.
The document recommends creating a new subject called Computing to replace Information and Communications Technology (ICT) from Foundation Phase onwards. Computing would disaggregate into two areas: Computer Science and Information Technology. It recommends overhauling the current ICT curriculum, which is outdated and focuses on consumption rather than creation. A new Digital Literacy Framework is also recommended to address digital literacy skills separately from Computing. The recommendations aim to change perceptions of Computing education and careers and make the subject more progressive, industry-relevant and future-proof.

Scotland has a distinctive and highly regarded tradition of education that is recognised internationally. However, while the Scottish Government has been active in formulating Digital Future strategies and open data policies, it has yet to articulate policies to support open education and open educational resources.
Elsewhere in the UK, the Higher Education Funding Council for England funded a £15M (€17,5M) OER programme, which ran from 2009 to 2012. The UKOER Programme, managed by JISC and the Higher Education Academy and supported by Cetis, funded a large number of projects that released OERs, developed and embedded open practices and built capacity within institutions and across subject domains. Although restricted to the English HE sector, the UKOER Programmes demonstrated that open educational resources and practices have the potential to address current issues in Scottish education.
Although no comparable funding programme exists in Scotland, a number of ‘grassroots’ initiatives are emerging from the further and higher education sector that are opening up Scottish education. In order to explore how Scotland can leverage the power of open to develop the nation’s unique education offering, support social inclusion and inter-institutional collaboration and sharing, and engage with EU open education directives, Cetis are facilitating an Open Scotland Summit, which will explore the development of open education policies and practices for Scotland. This paper will provide a critical overview of open education initiatives in Scotland in the wider context of UK, European and global developments, and present the outcomes and findings of the Open Scotland Summit.

The training emphasizes H&S tools to reduce incidents and raise awareness of workplace dangers. Delivering effective H&S training requires involvement from the entire workforce and covers topics like safety equipment, fire procedures, accident reporting, and more. Resources needed are minimal, primarily requiring classroom space and training materials. The success of H&S training relies on cooperation between employers, employees, and training providers.
Kaizen is a systematic approach to eliminating waste in the workplace in order to increase efficiency and profitability. It involves identifying the seven main types of waste through intensive training of employees. A key part of successful Kaizen implementation is short, intensive Kaizen events that involve teams of employees solving problems, rather than individual incremental projects. Managerial support and participation is also critical for employees to take the Kaizen approach seriously. Proper planning and resources, including training classroom space and releasing employees for training, are required to deliver an effective Kaizen program.
5S is a systematic approach to organizing and standardizing a workplace to improve efficiency. It involves sorting, setting in order, shining, standardizing, and sustaining these practices. Implementing a 5S program requires training employees in its methods so they can work together to identify effective processes and eliminate waste. By deploying 5S, a company can gain control over its workspace and maximize productivity, which can improve profitability and attract further investment. While it requires an initial investment of employee time for training, 5S can be adapted to many workplace environments and industries.

This project aims to create an online support system called "Auto Share and Learn" for automotive supply chain companies. It will be developed in partnership with Jaguar Land Rover and involve piloting the system with supply chain companies in the West Midlands and South Wales. The system is intended to facilitate skills development through online resources, expertise sharing, and collaboration. It will go through several phases including development, piloting, engaging further educational institutions, and evaluating the model for sustainability and transferability to other sectors. The overall goals are to increase engagement in learning and contribute to skills development goals within the automotive industry and supply chain companies.
The survey outcomes and report from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David provides the following information:
- 184 staff and 360 students responded to a survey about technology enhanced learning usage across the university and its partner colleges.
- The survey included questions about usage of the learning management system Moodle, online communication tools, availability of teaching materials, and use of open educational resources.
- The quantitative responses showed variation in Moodle usage between being central to teaching delivery for some to only being used for small parts of teaching. Qualitative comments provided additional context around usage.
- Common formats used for making teaching materials available included Word, PDF, and PowerPoint files, though some staff expressed wanting more training on resources and formats.
The document presents the outcomes of a survey on current technology enhanced learning practices at Coleg Sir Gâr. The survey involved both staff and students and was conducted online. 75 staff responded to the survey. Questions asked about use of the institutional learning management system Moodle as well as other online resources like social media. The purpose was to establish a baseline of technology use to inform planning. Similar surveys were conducted at other campuses to deliver a comprehensive picture across the institution.
This document summarizes the results of an online survey conducted by the University of Wales Trinity Saint David to assess current technology enhanced learning practices across its campuses. Over 64 staff and 200 students responded. The survey asked about use of the institutional online learning system Moodle as well as other online tools. It found that Moodle is widely used by both staff and students, though to varying degrees. Staff reported using Moodle for course materials, communication, and assessment. The purpose was to establish a baseline understanding of technology use to inform future technology enhanced learning planning and initiatives across the university. Similar surveys were also conducted at other university campuses and partner colleges to develop a comprehensive picture.
The document presents the results of a survey on technology enhanced learning practices at Swansea University. The survey received responses from 45 staff and 150 students and asked about their use of the university's learning management system, Moodle, as well other online resources and devices. The purpose was to understand current technology use and inform planning. Similar surveys were also conducted at other university campuses and colleges to develop a comprehensive picture of technology usage across the institution.
This document presents a guide to good practices in e-learning based on 13 case studies from European regions. It discusses the benefits of e-learning including its potential to enrich education, provide flexibility and accessibility, and its role in addressing skills needs. The case studies illustrate emerging benefits and future possibilities to guide policymakers. They are structured to emphasize lessons learned and innovations. Key benefits highlighted include e-learning becoming a major part of education delivery, facilitating discovery and blended learning, addressing skills needs of SMEs and rural populations, and the role of regional collaboration. The guide is divided into sections on e-learning applications for all citizens, schools/universities, SMEs, the unemployed, and specialists.
Professor Tony Toole presented an overview of management modeling tools for designing educational management systems. The presentation discussed enterprise architecture, viable systems modeling, and soft systems modeling approaches. It also provided a case study example of using soft systems modeling to define the root problem and conceptual solution for a student attendance monitoring system. The key tools discussed were enterprise architecture layers, viable systems' recursive structure and control/communication capacity, and soft systems modeling's root definition, conceptual model, and design of a realistic system.
Professor Tony Toole has over 40 years of experience in higher education and currently holds two positions - as Managing Director of an educational consultancy company and as a Project Manager at Swansea Metropolitan University. He has extensive qualifications including a PhD in Medical Physics and MBA. Throughout his career, he has managed over 30 e-learning projects with budgets totaling over £5 million. He is currently managing 3 projects focused on educational technology and data integration.
This document discusses trends in social media, personal technologies, and their impact on technology enhanced learning (TEL). It finds that social media usage is growing rapidly, led by Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter. Younger users experiment frequently with new apps and platforms. Mobile access to social media is also rising quickly, led by smartphones, tablets, and personal cloud services. Within education, academics are increasingly using social media like YouTube, blogs and wikis to support teaching. Looking ahead, the document predicts that social media and personal technologies will profoundly transform educational delivery, with learning environments constructed online using freely available tools.
1. The document discusses MOOCs (massive open online courses), describing what they are, where they came from, current initiatives, and their potential educational value.
2. It notes that while MOOCs aim to harness online social learning, there is no evidence they have achieved defined learning outcomes yet. MOOCs started as self-organized learning but may become more structured over time as established in educational systems.
3. Prominent MOOC providers like edX, Coursera, and FutureLearn are discussed. While MOOCs have potential to increase access to education, questions remain around pedagogy, sustainability, and accreditation.
This white paper analyzes the rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and their implications for higher education. It finds that while MOOCs expand access to education on a large scale, they also face challenges regarding sustainability, pedagogy, completion rates and assessment. MOOCs could disrupt existing higher education models through new business models that leverage online learning. However, widespread adoption of MOOCs may be limited by a reliance on educated, tech-savvy early adopters. The paper concludes that higher education institutions should establish autonomous business units to explore online innovations and their potential impacts.
The document summarizes an information kit on open educational resources (OERs). It discusses the history and development of the OER movement, from early initiatives like MIT's OpenCourseWare to the growth of open content repositories and search applications. While OERs provide efficiency and cost benefits, barriers to adoption include cultural issues around ownership and value of academic work. The document also critiques common conceptions of OERs, arguing they overlook learning from experienced practitioners and recontextualize the roles of teachers and learners. It concludes the OER scenario will challenge traditional institutional resource models as learning shifts with increased internet access and learner autonomy.
The PotsPan project piloted a digitized WBL administrative system across multiple institutions. Testing showed digitization eliminated repeated data entry, made documents accessible anywhere, and delivered efficiencies by avoiding transporting paper files. While technical issues prevented full testing at one college, the overall conclusion was the system achieved the goal of exploiting benefits identified in an earlier project and demonstrated value for managing WBL programs.
1. Jisc RSC Wales / Advisory
Service Activities in Wales
2012-13
Document Overview:
This document aims to provide a high level overview of the types of service provided to Higher
Education customers across Wales (as well as a range of services provided to non-HE customers),
either directly provisioned by the Jisc Regional Support Centre for Wales, or brokered from the range
of Jisc Advance Advisory Services. The Jisc Advance Advisory Services covered include:
JiscinfoNet (www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk)
JiscNetskills (www.netskills.ac.uk)
Jisc Digital Media (www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk)
Jisc Legal (www.jisclegal.ac.uk)
JiscTechDis (www.jisctechdis.ac.uk)
Jiscmail (www.jiscmail.ac.uk)
JiscProcureweb (www.procureweb.ac.uk)
The information provided here is a starting point for research by Professor Tony Toole in the context
of his Strategic Insight Programme (SIP) project with Jisc Advance.
Services provided directly from Jisc RSC Wales:
The following notes summarise some ways that Jisc RSC Wales currently helps SMU/TSD staff to
engage with RSC and wider JISC resources and services, as part of our engagement with the broad
HE sector in Wales. It is presented under three main headings:
1. Social media engagement
2. Link between SMU/TSD and Jisc resources/services
3. Engagement as part of national (Wales) networks, third party events and initiatives
Note that this is in addition to the support available to SMU/TSD staff via consultations, events,
helpdesk and communications (Customer Relationship Management system including monthly
Bulletin) and Jiscmail lists. It also does not include direct contact between SMU/TSD and Jisc/Jisc
advisory services, data on which may be available from the services in question.
1. Social media engagement
Jisc RSC Wales is active on Twitter (as @rscwales) and may be followed by anyone with a Twitter
account.
2. The @rscwales account is used selectively and strategically to, among other things:
disseminate news of Jisc RSC Wales services (eg Bulletins, events)
retweet opportunities available from the wider UK RSC community and Jisc (egJisc advisory
services)
engage with our customers who are Twitter users
gather intelligence about developments and debates in the sector
The HE Coordinator operates her own account - @lisparcell - which specifically focusses on HE and
her own areas of professional interest/specialism such as academic library and information services,
information literacy and digital literacies.
Due to the somewhat 'anonymous' nature of Twitter IDs, it is not always possible to identify where
SMU/TSD staff are interacting with @rscwales or @lisparcell. Not all key staff will choose to be
active on Twitter for university business. However it is known that a number of staff (including
particularly library and technology enhanced learning staff) follow @lisparcell and/or @rscwales and
they interact with us selectively. One member of staff, @juliadesigns at Trinity St David
(Carmarthen), is extremely proactive in engaging with @lisparcell @rscwales and @jisc via Twitter
and sharing resources and information located via Twitter. However it is not known what the overall
level of engagement with social media (and Twitter specifically) is across SMU/TSD, for professional
or cpd purposes.
2. Acting as a link between the universities and Jisc resources/services
One of the main purposes of Jisc RSC Wales engagement with HE since 2003 has been to raise
awareness of appropriate Jisc benefits (resources, advice and guidance, project opportunities).
Whilst it is known that HE staff can and do engage directly with Jisc, the large amount of information
on offer can be daunting. Where the RSC is aware of the university's priorities and requirements, it
can highlight the most appropriate resources and where necessary offer help in using them.
Priorities and requirements can emerge in a variety of ways: as part of consultations (where
arranged); during staff development events.
Examples in the recent past which serve to illustrate how such interventions can work include:
Jisc resources on curriculum design and delivery, and on assessment and feedback, were
highlighted during the SMU/TSD staff conference on plagiarism (February 2013).
Janet txt guidance was provided to a Trinity St David working group looking at SMS services
Information was provided on outputs of Jisc and other projects such as workforce
development, audio feedback and business and community engagement.
University staff also have opportunities to discover Jisc resources and services at RSC face to face
and virtual events, for example recent workshops organised with JiscinfoNet in Wales.
3. Engagement via national (ie Wales-wide) networks and activities including:
Future Directions steering group and various Future Directions conferences, workstrand
meetings and projects provide regular contact with senior academics and an opportunity to
3. raise awareness of resources such as the Work Based Learning Maturity Toolkit and Jisc
Digital Literacies resources.
Jisc and other project boards (eg DEWI, Student Stories)
Social media for student engagement guide (in preparation by Jisc RSC Wales in consultation
with WISE - Wales initiative for student engagement).
Where forums are active, the RSC makes an effort to participate in order to engage with
staff and feed them relevant resources (example: WHELF/HEWIT Gregynog Colloquium
where OER will be a major feature, including contributions from the RSC and Jisc
Legal).Events, Training, comms, dissemination of wider Jisc outputs
Other activities:
A range of events, webinars, and training opportunities are also delivered directly by the RSC, and
whilst not specifically targeting SMU/Trinity, are available to them. These offerings are generally
offered on a cross-sector basis, and may be taken up by organisations from FE, ACL, Voluntary, and
WBL sectors, as well as HE.
