Abstract of presentation: Educational innovation and technology: a need for integration
The presence of technology in learning environments (school, university, vocational education and training, professional development, etc.) does not necessarily entail a direct change in pedagogical vision or teaching practices. The mere placing of computers, video projectors and IWBs in classrooms does not mark the ultimate attainment of a teaching innovation. For this reason, I believe it is important to discuss the concept of technology-based pedagogical innovation, connect this concept to a learning theory, clarify the role of technology as far as teachers and learning results are concerned and, thus, reflect on the different levels of analyses in the study of the relationship between technologies and development of competences, digital competences included.
The TYYNE project (Työelämä oppimisympäristönä
- Working life as a learning environment) focused
on working life as a future learning environment.
The work done was founded on several complementary
forms of activity. These included literature
reviews, expert panels, two-tier Delphi inquiries
and active work in various social media channels.
The study dealt with the multidimensional relationship
between working life and learning, which
was approached through exposing the backgrounds
for modern phenomena with the help of
field-specific literature and through the work of
expert panels. The project also estimated future
trends and enriched views concerning them using
participatory working methods such as Delphi inquiries
and expert panels.

Venue: Empatic International Workshop - Schools Sector in Krakow, Poland
Date: 8 June 2011
Talk from iPED 2010. Reviews how Open Context Model of Learning and the PAH Continuum can be applied to the craft of teaching. References sample courses and current debates such as Digital Literacies.
The primary objective of our empirical research project was the assessment of the
efficiency of the heretofore delivered courses in light of the new learning options. Presently
the respective research results are being processed and following a more sophisticated
statistical analysis the information will be used as starting points for other scholarly
inquiries. Our long term goals also include a comparison of the respective research results
with similar scholarly programs performed in Hungary and in other countries as well.
Finally, we can conclude that the integration of the new methods into the
methodological components of teacher training programs is expected to obtain a strategic
significance. The Eszterházy Károly College adopting such initiatives has proven to be a
pioneer in this field as teaching programs supported by network-based learning are being
continually offered and delivered in order to assure the highest possible standards and
potential perfection of the respective teaching efforts.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2.
3. The panel presented background for AGORA (from ancient Greek - open place of assembly were citizens would gather to hear public statements and discuss). In the opening the main idea of sharing and cooperation across subjects, levels of education and working life/business was elaborated along with definitions of learning communities and knowledge management. This was followed by examples of transversal academia and business sector and use of relevant Web 2.0 tools. From the discussion and input from the audience it was pointed out that we need to develop new competences like mastering digital technologies but also needed to emphasis critical thinking and citizenships related to the changes we experience. A main challenge is to facilitate learning and development of learning communities. We may assume that everybody will be active in learning communities, but some are unwilling, others unable so facilitating and motivating is essential. AGORA will continue its work to develop its ideas and relevant methodology. THURSDAY 2 3rd 13:30-13:50
