Learning in a Changing World: Racing against TimeJudy O'Connell
Are you racing against time to update your capacity to engage with established and emerging technology? This presentation is a discussion starter for the ALIA schools seminar Learning in a Changing World.
Developing a Digital Citizenship ProgramCathy Oxley
Promoting responsible Digital Citizenship within the school environment.
Schools have a duty of care to teach students how to behave in responsible and ethical ways when using the internet. A negative online presence can have a profound impact on a student’s learning, and personal and professional life. This looks at ways of helping students create a positive digital footprint and the process for developing a whole school Digital Citizenship program. Includes examples of a wide range of sources schools can use when implementing such a program.

Resistance is Futile: The dynamics of the Science CollectiveJudy O'Connell
Educators are increasingly using new media and digital technologies to teach and engage their 21st century students. Reading, writing, gaming, trans-media, immersive worlds, augmented reality, and Web 3.0 are all part of the new digital frontiers. Whether it’s science or science fiction, Alice in Wonderland or Angry Birds, the dynamics of this new information ecology can transform science classroom experiences. Assimilate these ideas, tools and techniques into your ‘collective’ ~ Resistance is futile.

Se hace una descripción de los cambios que la Red y la cultura digital ha provocado en nuestras vidas y de cómo estamos inmersos en un proceso de transformación digital que está afectando a organizaciones y profesionales.
Esta transformación se traduce en un nuevo conjunto de competencias que tanto profesionales como organizaciones deben incorporar.
A nivel de los profesionales las competencias profesionales digitales se adquieren y gestionan desde la toma de conciencia de su propia identidad digital.
También se presenta el concepto de Entorno Personal (profesional) de Aprendizaje (PLE), desde donde resulta más fácil el desarrollo y gestión de parte de estas "nuevas" competencias digitales profesionales.
Esta presentación es parte del material de una clase impartida en el Instituto Europeo de Diseño de Madrid (IED) en febrero y julio de 2014.
The digital revolution has given us a world of global connectedness, information organisation, communication and participatory cultures of learning, giving teachers the opportunity to hone their professional practice through their networked learning community. What do you do to make it so?

Rethinking Learning in the Age of Digital FluencyJudy O'Connell
Digital connectivity is a transformative phenomenon of the 21st century. While many have debated its impact on society, educators have been quick to mandate technology in school development - often without analysing the digital fluency of those involved, and the actual impact on learning. Is being digitally tethered creating a new learning nexus for those involved?
Virtual Environments and Web 3D – New Worlds with Old Problems?Tracy Kennedy
In 2003, Linden Research Inc launched the virtual world Second Life with a small community of residents. In the past year, Second Life reached a tipping point; almost nine million residents are registered in the Metaverse, and there are numerous daily media accounts about life in the virtual world.
The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of Second Life, and examine the appeal of an interactive three dimensional interface that has encouraged new leisure and social activities, business and marketing ventures, educational opportunities, political platforms, arts and entertainment and much more. Second Life also features its own media hub, which includes magazines, news sites and agencies, weblogs and television stations, covering new fashions for avatars, music concerts by popular artists, community affairs, and economic reports.
However, virtual worlds are not inherently utopian; with new environments come old social problems from the ‘real’ world. This presentation will also address some of the debates that have surfaced about social norms and behaviours in Second Life, what the future of virtual worlds might entail, and whether Second Life hype is a passing fad or a the development of Web 3.0/3D.

Library 2.014 Leadership in a Connected AgeJudy O'Connell
Teacher librarians and school libraries play a vital role in their school communities by meeting the change, challenge and productive chaos of the Web front on!
Leadership in a connected age: Change, challenge and productive chaos!Judy O'Connell
We cannot hold back the forces of change. The 21st century leader recognises that without keeping an eye on the future we may be doomed to remaining a prisoner of the past. With this eye on the future, the agile leader welcomes innovation, embraces change and thrives on chaos. What skills are necessary to survive in the future? What do you need to do today? Trends in knowledge construction, participatory cultures and social networks can give us the blueprint to successful leadership in our connected age.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Itʼs about understanding a world
in which connections and

Through creating our own
knowledge, not from what a
teacher tells us, but rather from
what we read, listen to, and
