Keynote talk at the 3rd International Conference on Supercomputing in Mexico: www.isum.mx. A great group of people!
A substantially revised version of a talk with the same title given on previous occasions.
A lot of talk about the future of the internet sounds almost hippie-spiritual or faux-philosophical. The Internet is not the same as the world-wide-web. But the Internet-of-Things and the Semantic Web - all parts of Web 3.0, are beginning to be very important to our learning environments. Here is a summary of key features, ranging from access, creativity, and information architecture.
At the start of 2010 this is one perspective on what to be watching and perhaps working on in 2010. Prepared for a team workshop at Netskills, UK, January 2010, to kick the new year and decade off with some thought.

It feels like we have building web sites and applications for centuries, doesn't it? However, we know that this is so untrue, because the web is only 25 years old since Sir Tim Berner's Lee great proposal at CERN. The impetus of online design and development has changed, we now talk about the Digital Worker, the Digital environment and we about building web applications and ecommerce applications that are user friendly and customer centric. So what has this all to with the humble Java application developer? The answer is everything. We must be explicit in the software that we write, lean and agile in the way we write, and whilst making sure the take full advantage of the underlying Java platform. In fact, because we have this magnificent Java Virtual Machine and open standards like Java EE, we can continue build quality, robust and sustainable software for all our stakeholders and business users.
Technology has changed the face of libraries, and is continuing to change how we work and how we deliver services to customers. This workshop introduces emerging technology trends, and how those trends are reshaping library services. Examples are provided of how to incorporate these emerging trends into libraries. Attendees learn what trends to look for, the difference between a technology trend and a fad, and get ideas on how their library can respond to emerging technology.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Editor's Notes
So a little bit of background information about me and where I work.
it is a song by Groove Armada (but I'm not going to sing to you)
it is a district of Liverpool (but we've not been there for 76 years)
I've been at Edge Hill over three years.
I started as web applications developer, then I played at being a project manager and now I'm the rather grandly titled "Head of Web Services"
which doesn't mean SOAP, RPC or REST but means I lead a team which does design, development and maintenance for

corporate website
portal
student communities. And of course attending lots of meetings.
This talk isn't about Edge Hill, or what we've done or how great we are (because we're not) - it's my personal views about what I'd like to see us doing as teams, an institution and a sector.I don't have all the answers - I'm not sure I have any answers - but I want to question what we do online.
I’ll let you into a secret. Most of it isn’t very good.
In my opinion one of the primary reasons for this is the prevalence of content management systems which give the wrong people access to update information online but that's an entirely different rant of mine and my doctor tells me not to go there.So if we accept that our websites aren't working for all our users, what can we do about it? One option is to plough increasing amounts of time and effort into satisfying everyone. You already see this happening with many homepages where departments compete for prominence
The other option is to strip back to core audiences and find other ways to satisfy the long tail.For me that means providing data in an open, accessible form that users can make use of as they wish. There are experts in creating mashups here today and I'm definitely not one of them, but I hope I can play my part in providing the raw data feeds for others to use.So what data do we have that we can expose easily?A few years ago Tony Hirst created a tool to detect auto discoverable feeds on pages and as of yesterday just 53 / 132 had them - 40% - http://ouseful.open.ac.uk/iwmw/iwmwAuto.phpI'm sure others have feeds but if you don't tell people how to find them, what's the point?
Events. Feed of forthcoming events? Newly announced events? Other formats like iCal allow you to add it directly to Google Calendar or Outlook.
Courses are quite an important thing for Universities yet most don't know what they run! The process for getting information from an institution to aggregators like UCAS involves at best munging some spreadsheets and at worst retyping from a printed prospectus! Yet there is now a standard for exactly this information - XCRI-CAP allows a university to publish a catalogue of courses in a machine readable format which others can make use of.
Course information was a trickier proposition but fortunately around the time we were redeveloping this area of the website another project did all the hard work for us.
An XML format called XCRI-CAP defines course information for marketing purposes quite neatly and we were able to convert that into a database.
Simultaneously the most awesome and scary website for the public sector in the UK. It allows anyone to make and track FOI requests. Every university has a site offering key information but how is it provided? Probably as links to PDFs but that's certainly not how it was originally created so let's try to break out. Why not upload spreadsheets to Google Docs so people can query them directly?
Most of this is still very distant from the end user so let's get more specific. What systems do we have?
Most of these systems already have some form of API available for internal use but we’re all reluctant to let people use them.
So my challenge to you is to make a start. Go back to your institution, find some data and put it online. Start small with some spreadsheets of data you’ve collected. Upload it to Google Docs and put a link on a page. Then look at what APIs your systems provide and see which ones you can open up. When you procure new systems ask questions about suppliers’ commitment to open data – make it a requirement.
