Elgg at the University of Brighton -- Staniermarkvanharmelen
Elgg was implemented at the University of Brighton to provide students with blogging capabilities and more opportunities for community engagement that integrated with their existing Blackboard system. It allows for single sign-on with Blackboard and automatically creates module-specific private communities within Elgg from Blackboard course data. Elgg has seen good usage from both social and academic perspectives, including course discussions, student support communities, and ePortfolios, though increasing academic understanding of its capabilities and external visibility remain issues.
Web 2.0 supporting a Learning and Teaching Strategy -- Wassellmarkvanharmelen
The University of Leeds implemented blogs and wikis to support its learning and teaching strategy of using technology innovatively. Staff requested these tools and were trained on their uses. Blogs and wikis were initially promoted to staff to experiment with and focus uses on teaching and information sharing. Over 1,700 student accounts were later created as part of coursework. Future plans include full institutional support of these tools and integrating additional user-generated content applications once a new learning management system is selected.
Wikis allow for collaborative teaching and learning through sharing ideas and edits to web pages. They can be used for lesson summaries with hyperlinks, gathering ideas for policies and strategies through discussion, and collaborating on notes for topics by including links to resources. Wikis disseminate information to a wider audience and track changes made by different authors. Examples of their use include a school wiki at Court Fields School for collaborative work.
The document discusses virtual learning environments (VLEs) and their functions. A VLE is any electronic space where learning can occur via the internet. Examples include allowing file sharing, electronic communication through email and discussions, personal organization tools, acting as a school portal, and hosting e-learning content. The VLE used by St Ivo school is called DigitalBrain. It functions include file sharing, communication, organization, acting as a school portal, hosting content, and allowing teachers to set assignments and activities for students.
The document discusses the E-Learning Baseline at UCL, which outlines minimum expectations for e-learning provision across all taught programs and modules. It establishes baseline requirements for campus-based courses and additional Baseline+ requirements for wholly online courses. The baseline addresses orientation, accessibility, legal, and communication elements that should be included in Moodle courses. It can be used as a guide for online course design and implementation. Support is available to help instructors understand and apply the baseline standards to their courses.
Online teaching: overcoming the challenges, 20 October 2020Jisc
There is no one right way to use technology to underpin the curriculum. The range of possibilities can make it difficult for practitioners to know where to start, but as universities and colleges adapt to the new normal of teaching in hybrid environments support is needed to ‘get it right.’
There will be challenges, but you can overcome these if time and resources are directed at the right things. There are lots of misunderstandings about what it means to use technology to support teaching, learning and assessment. Academic staff need to approach the challenge with an awareness of those misconceptions as well as with a critical and creative mindset.
This webinar will showcase examples of how universities and colleges are currently adapting to provide flexible approaches to learning using digital. The focus will be on what lessons we have learned over the last six months and how we can make online learning a transformative experience for learners, rather than a deficit model.
The document discusses strategies for integrating Web 2.0 tools into higher education. It recommends focusing on improving teaching rather than technology, allowing faculty to share successes, and providing hands-on training. Suggestions include online discussions, wikis for sharing ideas, and social bookmarking of educational resources.
Where did all my students go? This question is (or could be) asked by faculty all over the world. It is most appropriate in response to the migration of students from one professor to another (who listens to and understands them), or from one University to another (where everyone responds to them). It happens when students realize that their learning environment is the same one their parents had – boring, stifling, and very limited. In this presentation, we will discuss and demonstrate some recent technology developments that easily modernize teaching methods and quickly engage students. Learning environments should not be confined to the classroom – it’s time for them to be retrofitted . . . we’ll look at some examples.

A Field of Online Dreams – Build it and they will come (or will they?) - Cult...Ken McCarthy
Academics working on online, blended and technology enhanced programmes and modules can oftentimes find themselves working in isolation from their teaching colleagues. Focused on providing the optimal student experience and with the usual demands on their time of a full teaching timetable they often don’t have the opportunity to look at emerging trends or technologies within their own discipline or indeed across disciplines.
A community of practice is defined by Wegner-Trayner as "a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do, and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly" and in establishing a TEL Community of Practice within WIT it is hoped that colleagues will have a forum to discuss, debate and discover best practice in the areas of online, blended and technology-enhanced learning. The COP will meet regularly with the focus being on community led initiatives and the sharing of and exchange of experiences.
This presentation will focus on the efforts that were taken within WIT on establishing a COP and document the journey taken so far.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
