‘Mix tapes’ were a thing of love, a physical object which people would share with significant others and friends around them. They were naturally a social object and highly representative of a person’s identity. The knowledge of effort involved by the giver in selecting the songs and having to sit through each one was also part of the symbolism for the receiver. Objects can be generated and shaped from and by the media you “teach” them or existing objects you play (embed) media into. Thus the modern mix tape could become a linked series of small objects like lucky charms which are physically shareable in a form representing the tracks they contain. This is based on the idea that physical items often mean more to us as physical beings and adds a level of exclusivity and personalisation to the sharing process. Considering trans-platform engagement and the ability to engage users and viewers in co-creating media it is suggested that this may presented as a new modality for user co-creation and curation.

Detecting and Analyzing Subpopulations within Connectivist MOOCs: Initial workMartin Hawksey
Presentation for the MOOC Research Initiative Conference in Arlington, TX 5-6th Decemeber highlighting some early research from 'Detecting and Analyzing Subpopulations within Connectivist MOOCs', which is in part examining data from ocTEL.
Feedback has long been identified as a problem by staff and students alike. While students often complain that they are not getting enough detailed feedback that is relevant to future work, staff feel they are investing a lot of time and work into providing feedback that is not collected or not acted upon. Increasingly, the use of audio feedback is seen as a means to tackle some of these problems.
What the little birdy tells me: Twitter in educationMartin Hawksey
Presentation given from the LSE NetworkED Seminar Series 2013 on the use of Twitter in Education.
"Since the launch of the micro-blogging service Twitter in 2006 a number of academics have experimented with it's use within education. Examples range from the passive/monologic course announcements to the active/dialogic directed discussion. This workshop will explore some educational 'Twitter hacks' which cover a wide range of activities from a free SMS broadcast system, Twitter for classroom voting and the application of social network analysis to for mining Twitter for actionable insights. As part of this participants will be shown a range of free and open source tools to assist in Twitter data collection and analysis including the Twitter Archiving Google Spreadsheet (TAGS) and NodeXL."

Developing a (Digital) Strategy for Your OrganisationCharlotte Sexton
This presentation provides practical guidance on developing a (digital) strategy and is aimed at those leading change or managing digital programme delivery within museums or cultural organisations. It doesn’t really matter what you call it: digital strategy, digital engagement strategy, technical road map or just plain ‘strategy’, if your goal is to engage contemporary audiences with culture and heritage then ‘digital’ is going to be part of the mix. For museums, the great ones will be those designed around the way people live their lives now – and increasingly that means with some kind of techno gizmo in their hands. If you are going to rise to the challenge then you’re going to need a plan, and the will and skill to change old ways of working. This presentation will help you kick start the process.

Twitter in Education: Interactively exploring the conversation with TAGS and ...Martin Hawksey
There has been much research in the use of social media to support learning and teaching. In many instances it is argued that it enables a decentralization of learning moving towards a distributed model which has many benefits including supporting a stronger foundation for lifelong learning.
Twitter is one service that has been widely used within this context. The introduction of hashtags as a mechanism to allow communities to form and contribute to a topic is now a well established model within both formal and informal education as well as in society in general. The use of Twitter in this way removes boundaries extending the opportunities for co-learning, in particular, discussions can become less siloed, every contribution to a hashtag community is potentially another opportunity for someone else to join the conversation. The thinning of the walls in this way is not without it implications and the vulnerability of being a learner should never be underestimated. Another consideration is that Twitter has been adopted as a tool to support learning in this way rather than being designed for this purpose. As a result exploring and finding understanding within hashtag communities can be problematic and with many open learning contexts individuals can end up feeling lost.
This conversation will explore approaches to help learners and educators gain more insight and a feeling of place within hashtag communities. As part of this we will look at TAGS and TAGSExplorer tools (https://tags.hawksey.info) which have been developed with educators and learners in mind to help support the collection, analysis and exploration of Twitter hashtag communities. These free tools provide a means to collect data from Twitter searches and analysis the results either in Google Sheets, where the data is collected, or visualized in the companion TAGSExplorer web interface. As part of this conversation we will touch upon the limitation of data collection from Twitter and issues around data protection and privacy. We will also provide some examples of where TAGS/TAGSExplorer has been used within an educational context.
TEL Quality and Innovation: What can be learned from the history of computer ...Martin Hawksey
As TEL becomes more professionalised we consider what lessons can be learned from another discipline which has gone through a similar transition. Through the lense of the development of computer science this presentation will look at key moments in this area which might be used to inform or influence how we approach TEL quality and innovation. As part of this we will highlight the approaches adopted by early pioneers like Alan Kay whose attributed to defining the conceptual basics of laptop and tablet computers as part of his work in the 1970s on the Dynabook. Kay (2014) argues when creating future concepts the present inevitably takes all of our focus making anything we do incremental rather than inspirational. Kay’s suggests that by ignoring the present this opens us to the opportunity to take greater inspiration from the past allowing us to dream of a future not constrained by the present.
We also consider some of the cultures which have their origins in computer science including the ‘hacker’ subculture. Whilst the term ‘hacker’ has taken on a more sinister definition, referring to those subverting computer security, the original hacker communities founded by Richard Greenblatt and Bill Gosper in the 1960s were focused on the “intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming and circumventing limitations of systems to achieve novel and clever outcomes” - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture
Finally, we highlight a talk by Bret Victor on the future of programming we look at the reasons a number of innovations in computer science happened in the 50s/60s and the problems this creates for the next generation of programmers if they perceive the fundamentals are correct and continue to develop along these principles.
Making the complex less complicated: An introduction to social network analysisMartin Hawksey
Presented at ILTA EdTech 2017, Sligo, Ireland
Supporting posthttps://mashe.hawksey.info/?p=17538
Patterns are left behind. Whether it be replies to a discussion forums, interactions on social media or ingredients in cocktails links can be made and the data used for actionable insight. Network science is one approach that takes these seemingly complex connections and through the use of mathematical methods make it easier to understand. Network science is a well established discipline and it’s origins can be traced to 1736 and the work of Leonhard Euler. The area of social network analysis is a more recent development established in work by Moreno and Jennings in the 1930s. Accessibility to affordable computing in the 1990s combined with data from early social networks like IRC has led to an explosion of interest in social network analysis. This has continued with the emergence of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter combined with accessibility to the underlying data. The use of network science and social network analysis within educational contexts has seen similar growth. The emergence of ‘Learning Analytics’ as a field of study has highlighted how data can be used to enhance learning and teaching. With social network analysis we can take seemingly complex relationships and making them less complicated. Common applications of network analysis in this area include: identification of isolated students within group activities; identification of people or concepts which are ‘network bridges’; clustering of categorisation of topics; plus numerous other applications.
This presentation is designed to be an introduction into network analysis allowing delegates the opportunity to understand the underlying structure of the graph as well as some of the tools that can be used to construct them. The session will begin with an introduction to key network analysis terms and go on to introduce some of the tools and techniques for social network analysis, specifically looking at how data can be collected and analysed from Twitter using tools like TAGS and NodeXL.

Using CiviCRM in Google Drive with the new CiviService Google Script LibraryMartin Hawksey
This talk highlights how you can easily interact with your CiviCRM via the API interface with a new Google Apps Script library. Google Apps Script is a free programming environment in Google Drive that allows you to easily integrate with Google Docs, Forms, Sheets, other Google products and third party services. Using Apps Script gives you the flexibility and power of tools like Google Sheets to push, extract or analyse data and integrate this with your CiviCRM installation via the CiviCRM API. Example uses could include using shared Google Sheets to record information which is pushed into your CiviCRM, initiating cases from Gmail triggers and more.
he master class is designed to help users get more out of their Google Analytics setup and reporting. The session will be an opportunity to workout where you are at with you Google Analytics setup and usage. As part of this there will be an opportunity for:
* An overview of Google Analytics and tracking principles
* Learning about Google Tag Manager which can be used to remove some of the headache around setting up GA event tracking
* Automated Google Analytics reporting using Google Sheets/Google Sites
* Emerging GA uses you might not have considered before
Extracting and analyzing discussion data with google sheets and google analyticsMartin Hawksey
Online discussions can be a rich source of data for researchers in the humanities and social sciences. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use Google Sheets to push online discussion board data into Google Analytics, where it can be analysed. The session will also demonstrate how to use TAGS, the widely-used script for archiving Twitter data. Participants can bring their own laptops if they wish; there will also be desktop PCs for use.
Please note: if you’re not staff or student at the University of Edinburgh, you will need to obtain a temporary login from the registration desk in advance.
Using WordPress as a badge platform #openbadgesHEMartin Hawksey
The Association for Learning Technology has been experimenting with the open source blogging platform WordPress as an Open Badges issuing platform. As part of this presentation we include details of our journey from digital to open badges. As part of this we highlight some of the benefits of using WordPress and the free BadgeOS plugin as well as issues encountered integrating with Mozilla Backpack. As well as the technical aspect we will look at how badges were used in the Open Course for Technology Enhanced Learning (ocTEL). As part of this badges were awarded on a weekly basis for a range of tasks from simply ‘checking-in’ to completing predefined learning activities. Given the range of criteria this presentation explores the general question ‘do open badges count?’. The presentation concludes by looking at current developments which are informing how the Association might use Open Badges in the future. As part of this we will touch upon the potential other benefits of badges including situational awareness for learners and the wider community.

Academic practice continues to evolve to reflect the needs and opportunities of various stakeholders including the learner, employers and the institution. Some would argue that university education isn't changing fast enough given the pace of change within society and technology. We will explore strategies for developing an agile approach to academic practice, looking at how education can be 'hacked' to creatively overcome the limitations of the system. ... We conclude taking a wider view exploring emerging peadagogies and technologies and how these might be used too to make education better.
Google Apps Script: The authentic{ated} playground [2015 Ed.]Martin Hawksey
This is the 2015 edition of my Google Apps Script: The authentic{ated} playground talk most recently given to GDG Berlin (Dec. 2015).
With a pre-authenticated cloud-based ecosystem Google Apps Script makes it possible to integrate into other Google services with a couple of lines of code. This turns Google Drive into a rich playground for a wide range of solutions from custom reporting using Google Sheets as a data interface; quick hacks to get the job done; custom interfaces for Docs, Sheets and Forms; to full blown application deployment to web and mobile. In this talk the main features and affordances of Google Apps Script are highlighted, this will be followed by a deep dive into a demonstration into how Google Apps Script makes it easy to combine Google Analytics with other data sources such as Twitter and do many more playful things.
Learning analytics gaining good actionable insightMartin Hawksey
Presented as part of the University of Sussex's TEL Seminar Series
There is greater awareness of the use of data to make improvements in the world around us including learning and teaching. From improvements in business processes to recommendations to what to buy on Amazon all are driven by data. Data by itself does not make a better learner experience and only analytics, the process of making an actionable insight, can help identify gains. As an emerging area 'Learning Analytics' is abound with new opportunities but at the same time these opportunities also raise new ethical and operational concerns. In this presentation we introduce some basic learning analytics concepts, identifying tools and workflows staff may wish to consider. As part of this we also consider the dangers of analytics identifying areas which may lead to learner demotivation or misconception and the questions we should all be asking ourselves to make sure we are always gaining *good* actionable insight.

Talk given at Using Google Apps Script and Sheets for social network data mining and analysis
Examples used in this presentation bundled at http://bit.ly/breaking-cell
There is growing interest in the use of data to provide actionable insight. This interest goes beyond the professional analysts and just as fields such as mathematics and astronomy have benefited from the enthusiastic amateur so does data science. Social networks are a rich playground of data and whilst many provide access to their data via APIs but access via this route can be daunting. You can of course turn to 'analytics as a service' sites which will take your credentials and provide you with some answers, but often this can be what they want to tell you and not what you want to hear. A solution is the spreadsheet. Spreadsheets provide an interface for data exploration for those with basic skills. With Google Sheets the opportunities increase exponentially, not just in terms of collaboration, but also with the power of Google Apps Script. Apps Script provides easy integration into other Google products and services, such as Google Analytics, as well as third party APIs like Twitter. In this presentation we show how Google Sheets can become a rich playground where data from different services can be collected and analysed.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Connectivist. Our MOOCs are informed by connectivist views of learning, namely, that knowledge is distributed and learning is the process of navigating, growing, and pruning connections.
Knowledge is generative. Learners need to create and share stuff – blogs, articles, images, videos, artifacts, etc
