Open educational resources (OER) refer to freely accessible educational materials that can be used and reused without cost. Some benefits of OER include freedom to access other works, the ability to incorporate materials into curriculum, and cost savings for students. However, some cons include potential technical issues, ensuring materials are up-to-date and do not infringe on copyright. OER also lacks widespread understanding among the public, students, and instructors.

End-to-end Troubleshooting Checklist for Microsoft SQL ServerKevin Kline
Learning how to detect, diagnose and resolve performance problems in SQL Server is tough. Often, years are spent learning how to use the tools and techniques that help you detect when a problem is occurring, diagnose the root-cause of the problem, and then resolve the problem.
In this session, attendees will see demonstrations of the tools and techniques which make difficult troubleshooting scenarios much faster and easier, including:
• XEvents, Profiler/Traces, and PerfMon
• Using Dynamic Management Views (DMVs)
• Advanced Diagnostics Using Wait Stats
• Reading SQL Server execution plan
Every DBA needs to know how to keep their SQL Server in tip-top condition, and you’ll need skills the covered in this session to do it.
The document discusses trends that will matter for media and technology in 2014-2015. It notes that (1) fan cultures will continue to grow in influence; (2) more original content will be created and distributed everywhere; and (3) immersive storytelling using interactive formats like "Snowfall" will increase and evolve. It argues that media companies should focus on "Little Data" - data collected from user actions that improves the experience - rather than "Big Data". Native metrics and first-party data from user interactions can be combined with other data to create better products, pricing, predictions, content and advertising tailored to each user.

Wikipedia is commonly used by individuals across educational stages to familiarize themselves with topics, despite warnings from teachers not to use it. While some acknowledge it may contain inaccuracies, others view it favorably as an initial starting point for providing keywords and technical terms to explore a subject further. Comparisons are made that traditional printed encyclopedias also contain mistakes that cannot be corrected.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Trish Maybury and Nicola Watkinson from Glyndŵr University Library Services about information literacy workshops they conducted for dissertation students.

This panel discussion will address planning, barriers, opportunities, and outcomes some academic libraries have experienced -- or are in the process of experiencing -- as they transition to the Learning Commons model of service.
This document discusses improving the quality and impact of library workshops on teaching information literacy. It notes that traditionally, librarian-led workshops were seen as add-ons and not relevant, didactic lessons. However, workshops that engage students in discussion and learning by doing, and focus on real resources, keywords, searching and evaluation, can have a positive impact on student marks and use of library databases over search engines. While some myths persist about digital natives and new students' skills, data shows IT skills do not necessarily translate to strong information literacy, and workshops can still benefit students in these areas.
Can MOOCs offer useful support for students in transition? Experiences from t...Andrew Deacon
The document discusses the UCT MOOCs Project at the University of Cape Town and how MOOCs can support students in transition. It provides an overview of MOOCs and the goals of the UCT project, which included developing 12 MOOCs to support academic transitions, showcase teaching excellence, and make knowledge globally accessible. The document describes how some UCT-created MOOCs directly supported postgraduate research and writing skills, and how existing MOOCs were wrapped with additional support for postgraduate students. It concludes that while MOOCs can help scale education and understand diverse learners, students in transition still require more individual support than MOOCs can provide alone.

This document discusses growing and replicating Positive Energy District (PED) sites in urban environments. It outlines several PED pilot projects across European cities and proposes strategies for scaling PEDs within and across cities. These include starting from local renewable energy generation hubs, growing existing PEDs, and establishing new PEDs. Annual energy balances and sharing surpluses with neighboring areas are key to allowing PEDs to "carry" less efficient zones. The document also advocates activating cities' innovation potential through urban living labs and knowledge sharing between projects to facilitate PED replication.

Granularity as a Qualitative Concept for Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR)Dirk Ahlers
This document discusses a new 3D model of the city of Trondheim, Norway that was created to make urban planning and navigation easier. The 3D model includes detailed geographic information down to the 1 meter level, showing individual buildings, streets, and other infrastructure. It covers the entire municipality at different levels of granularity from 1 meter to 100km, integrating data that was previously dispersed across different agencies and datasets.
Surveying GeoNames Gazetteer Data for the Nordic CountriesDirk Ahlers
This paper takes a look at freely available gazetteer data for the Nordic countries. We examine locations in this region to understand their characteristics and the quality of the available data. Several indicators are developed and discussed to estimate the expected data quality. The distribution and coverage of the data is mapped and the accuracy and quality indicators are visualized. The used method focuses on populated places as locations of interest but can be extended to arbitrary types of locations. The results give insights into the distribution of issues based on multiple indicators and give an estimate of per-country data quality.
