The document discusses implementing an open badges system for certifying lecturers and universities using the content management system TYPO3. It proposes building modular extensions for TYPO3 to manage content, user input of data, verification of input against conditions, and issuing open badges. While TYPO3 is generally suitable for this purpose, scaling the number of domain models and complexity of the badges system may be challenging to implement within TYPO3. Alternative technical approaches are suggested.

Community and Code: Lessons from NESCent HackathonsArlin Stoltzfus
Hackathons are an explosive trend, but why? What makes them work? What do they accomplish? How do I organize a hackathon for maximum effectiveness? In spite of thee popularity of hackathons, there has been very little systematic research into what makes them valued and successful. This slide deck provides an overview of conclusions drawn from studying a series of well documented hackathons sponsored by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center from 2006 to 2015.

Build a Successful Community with Engaging ContentPerficient, Inc.
Your community is only as good as the support it provides, so if engagement is low or your knowledge bank is lacking, you’re failing your customer.
As you strive to offer the best customer experience possible, branded communities have become the preferred method for collaboration. And making sure you’re providing valuable and useful content plays a critical role in keeping your community engaged.
During our webinar, we explored community content strategies with Stewart Florsheim, VP of content enablement for industry-specific Salesforce-based applications leader Vlocity, and Perficient UI/UX solution architect, Andrew Smith.
We covered:
-The role content plays in measuring community success
-Steps for managing the creation and execution of content
-How Vlocity deflects cases using killer content delivered through its new Salesforce community

A Virtual Infrastructure for Data intensive Analysis (VIDIA)Alexandra M. Pickett
The presentation will overview a the establishment of a collaborative virtual community, focusing initially on data-intensive computing education in the social sciences.
Open Research comprises open access to the broad range of research outputs, from journal articles and the underlying data to protocols, results (including negative results), software and tools. Open Research increases inclusivity and collaboration, improves transparency and reproducibility of research and underpins research integrity.
This workshop focuses on the benefits of practicing open research for you as a researcher, to improve discoverability and maximise access to your work and to raise your professional profile.
By the end of the session you will:
• Have an understanding of the principles of Open Research
• Understand open licences and how they apply to publications, data and software
• Be able to apply key tools and techniques to increase the visibility of yourself and your research, including repositories, ORCID, social media and altmetrics
• Describe the different ways of making research and data available open access

Designing User-Centered Discovery-and-Access Services for Enhanced Virtual Us...NASIG
Building user-centered discovery-and-access services to help users find their way through the information landscape is primarily a question of design. In 2010 the Technical Services at the University of Nevada Reno Libraries established its top strategic direction to understand users’ workflow and strive to build seamless information access services around their workflow. To advance this strategic direction, we implemented an innovative reorganization within Technical Services through creating a Knowledge Access and Discovery (KAD) Librarian from a vacant position and forming a new Design and Discovery (DD) department from existing staff. The KAD Librarian is responsible for leading library-wide efforts to optimize the power of the library’s suite of discovery and retrieval systems, and for leveraging relevant technologies to provide user-centric services for information access and discovery, with assistance from the staff in the DD department. This session will discuss the roles of the KAD Librarian and the new DD department, their projects and initiatives, and how they work with the library-wide cross-departmental Virtual User Experience Committee to advance Technical Services’ top strategic direction to meet the Internet-fueled do-it-yourself (DIY) mindset of today’s library users.

Open Badges

providing visual symbols of accomplishments packed
with verifiable data and evidence that can be shared
across the web.”

Conclusion Q1 1/2
• Conventional institutions have problems setting up an
ecosystem
• Acceptance increases by reducing the formal level of
institution
• Inclusion in existing social environment
• Internal endorsement works better than external
endorsement
• If the ecosystem competes with alternative information
sources - badges did not succeed

Conclusion Q1 2/2
Gamification
• Recipients need to be informed about the current
position and how to reach the next level
• The closer a recipient is to the next level, the higher
the steering influence of the issuer
Source:Anderson, Ashton, Daniel Huttenlocher, Jon Kleinberg, and Jure Leskovec „Steering user behavior with badges”, 2013
Incentives
• The incentives are less effective if the number of
awarded badges increases
