MOOCs - disruptive innovation for higher education(rev1)William Hall
This hypertextual presentation relates to a nearly completed hypertext book on the co-evolution of and revolutions in tools humans use and human cognition (see below). Here the author focuses on the probably disruptive impacts of Massive Open Online Course (“MOOC) technologies on today’s educational institutions. The presentation is also constructed as a hypertext, comprised of four parts: (1) an Introduction explaining what disruptive innovations are and why they are important, what constitutes a MOOC, and who provides them; (2) examples of several different MOOCs including demonstrations of how they work transfer knowledge and develop understanding; (3) a review Saylor.org – a nonprofit foundation offering the equivalent of several different four-year college degree programs of courses; and (4) an introduction to the related organizations, Canvas Network – an aggregator offering access to a variety of secondary, tertiary, and practical courses, and Instructure.com – the parent organization that has developed a powerful open source platform for the construction of MOOCs. Disruptive innovations are those that help create new markets and value networks, and eventually go on to disrupt existing markets and value networks, displacing earlier technological paradigms leading to technological revolutions and sometimes even cognitive revolutions. Although only implied in this work, over the next decade or so, the innovations surveyed here will profoundly affect how educational content will be delivered, and may cause a revolution in your thinking about how education (teaching and learning) is delivered – especially in colleges and universities. This is only one of the major disruptive technological innovations in scholarship, teaching, and learning discussed in the author’s project, “Application Holy Wars or a New Reformation – A Fugue on the Theory of Knowledge” to be published by Koroit Institute (http://kororoit.org). It is anticipated that we will soon be seeking crowd funding to make the book available on the Web as a fully functional hypertext.
OCWC12 15 minute fast talk on Expanding the Ecosystem for Remixable OERoerpub
This is my talk at the Open Course Ware Conference in Cambridge UK, April 2012. It is quite dense, since it was a 15 minute talk. It illustrates my work to make it easier to create remixable education content. To remix content it is helpful to have a format that emphasizes semantics and structure. We are starting to work on an open source editor that helps authors either create content from scratch or import and then add nice structure and semantics without undue pain.
Invited presentation on the modern era of Open Education, moving from a focus on content to a focus on practice, courses and certification.

How community software supports language documentation and data analysisPeter Bouda
Field linguists have increasingly adopted the latest technologies and tools for language documentation. Their needs have led to remarkable developments in software and archiving, exemplified by work at the MPI in Nijmegen, which leads the innovation cycles that take place in the digital working environments of field linguists. The next step in research is now the analysis and theoretical exploitation of the huge amount of data that has been collected in numerous language documentation projects that use these environments. This research will also rely on computer-based strategies, as data is instantly available in digital formats.
In this talk I will introduce some of the lesser known tools and software packages for annotation and analysis tasks. Some of these tools were created within DOBES projects and/or as community projects by small teams; they can be combined with well-known tools like ELAN or Toolbox to give researchers access to their data. I will focus on how a combination of simple, special purpose tools makes researchers more productive and how existing software libraries allow scientific projects to create their own, task-specific software tools that they can tailor to their own needs.
This presentation introduces open source software and aims to shed light on why you should care. We’ll highlight what you can or can’t do with it (licensing), and the pros/cons for businesses and individuals.

Deliberative Democracy as a Strategy for Co-designing University Ethics Around Analytics and AI in Education
Simon Buckingham Shum
Connected Intelligence Centre, University of Technology Sydney
Universities can see an increasing range of student and staff activity as it becomes digitally visible in their platform ecosystems. The fields of Learning Analytics and AI in Education have demonstrated the significant benefits that ethically responsible, pedagogically informed analysis of student activity data can bring, but such services are only possible because they are undeniably a form of “surveillance”, raising legitimate questions about how the use of such tools should be governed.
Our prior work has drawn on the rich concepts and methods developed in human-centred system design, and participatory/co-design, to design, deploy and validate practical tools that give a voice to non-technical stakeholders (e.g. educators; students) in shaping such systems. We are now expanding the depth and breadth of engagement that we seek, looking to the Deliberative Democracy movement for inspiration. This is a response to the crisis in confidence in how typical democratic systems engage citizens in decision making. A hallmark is the convening of a Deliberative Mini-Public (DMP) which may work at different scales (organisation; community; region; nation) and can take diverse forms (e.g. Citizens’ Juries; Citizens’ Assemblies; Consensus Conferences; Planning Cells; Deliberative Polls). DMP’s combination of stratified random sampling to ensure authentic representation, neutrally facilitated workshops, balanced expert briefings, and real support from organisational leaders, has been shown to cultivate high quality dialogue in sometimes highly conflicted settings, leading to a strong sense of ownership of the DMP's final outputs (e.g. policy recommendations).
This symposium contribution will describe how the DMP model is informing university-wide consultation on the ethical principles that should govern the use of analytics and AI around teaching and learning data.

Slides accompanying the monthly UTS educator briefing https://cic.uts.edu.au/events/24-7-instant-feedback-on-writing-integrating-acawriter-into-your-teaching-18-march/
What difference could instant feedback on draft writing make to your students? Over the last 5 years the Connected Intelligence Centre has been developing and piloting an automated feedback tool for academic writing (AcaWriter), working closely with academics across several faculties. The research portal documents how educators and students engage with this kind of AI, and what we’ve learnt about integrating it into teaching and assessment.
In May, AcaWriter was launched to all students along with an information portal. Now we want to start upskilling academics, tutors and learning technologists, in a monthly session to give you the chance to learn about AcaWriter, and specifically, good practices for integrating it into your subject. CIC can support you, and we hope you may be interested in co-designing publishable research.
AcaWriter handles several different ‘genres’ of writing, including reflective writing (e.g. a Reflective Essay; Reflective Blogs/Journals on internships/work-placements) and analytical writing (e.g. Argumentative Essays; Research Abstracts & Introductions). This briefing will demo AcaWriter, and show it can be embedded in student activities. We hope this sparks ideas for your own teaching, which we can discuss in more detail.

Professor of Learning Informatics
Director, Connected Intelligence Centre
University of Technology Sydney
Abstract:
“Health Informatics”. “Urban Informatics”. “Social Informatics”. Informatics offers systemic ways of analyzing and designing the interaction of natural and artificial information processing systems. In the context of education, I will describe some Learning Informatics lenses and practices which we have developed for co-designing analytics and AI with educators and students. We have a particular focus on closing the feedback loop to equip learners with competencies to navigate a complex, uncertain future, such as critical thinking, professional reflection and teamwork. En route, we will touch on how we build educators’ trust in novel tools, our design philosophy of “embracing imperfection” in machine intelligence, and the ways that these infrastructures embody values. Speaking from the perspective of leading an institutional innovation centre in learning analytics, I hope that our experiences spark productive reflection around as the UMN Learning Informatics Lab builds its program.
Biography:
Simon Buckingham Shum is Professor of Learning Informatics at the University of Technology Sydney, where he serves as inaugural director of the Connected Intelligence Centre. CIC is a transdisciplinary innovation centre, using analytics to provide new insights for university teams, with particular expertise in educational data science. Simon’s career-long fascination with software’s ability to make thinking visible has seen him active in communities including Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, Hypertext, Design Rationale, Scholarly Publishing, Semantic Web, Computational Argumentation, Educational Technology and Learning Analytics. The challenge of visualizing contested knowledge has produced several books: Visualizing Argumentation, Knowledge Cartography, and Constructing Knowledge Art. He has been active over the last decade in shaping the field of Learning Analytics, co-founding the Society for Learning Analytics Research, and catalyzing several strands: Social Learning Analytics, Discourse Analytics, Dispositional Analytics and Writing Analytics. http://Simon.BuckinghamShum.net
Despite AI’s potential for beneficial use, it creates important risks for Australians. AI, big data, and AI-informed decision making can cause exclusion, discrimination, skill loss, and economic impact; and can affect privacy, security of critical infrastructure and social well-being. What types of technology raise particular human rights concerns? Which human rights are particularly implicated?
Abstract: The emerging configuration of educational institutions, technologies, scientific practices, ethics policies and companies can be usefully framed as the emergence of a new “knowledge infrastructure” (Paul Edwards). The idea that we may be transitioning into significantly new ways of knowing – about learning and learners, teaching and teachers – is both exciting and daunting, because new knowledge infrastructures redefine roles and redistribute power, raising many important questions. What should we see when open the black box powering analytics? How do we empower all stakeholders to engage in the design process? Since digital infrastructure fades quickly into the background, how can researchers, educators and learners engage with it mindfully? This isn’t just interesting to ponder academically: your school or university will be buying products that are being designed now. Or perhaps educational institutions should take control, building and sharing their own open source tools? How are universities accelerating the transition from analytics innovation to infrastructure? Speaking from the perspective of leading an institutional innovation centre in learning analytics, I hope that our experiences designing code, competencies and culture for learning analytics sheds helpful light on these questions.
Towards Collaboration Translucence: Giving Meaning to Multimodal Group DataSimon Buckingham Shum
Vanessa Echeverria, Roberto Martinez-Maldonado, and Simon Buck- ingham Shum.. 2019. Towards Collaboration Translucence: Giving Meaning to Multimodal Group Data. In Proceedings of ACM CHI conference (CHI’19). ACM, New York, NY, USA, Paper 39, 16 pages. https://doi.org/10.1145/3290605.3300269
Collocated, face-to-face teamwork remains a pervasive mode of working, which is hard to replicate online. Team members’ embodied, multimodal interaction with each other and artefacts has been studied by researchers, but due to its complexity, has remained opaque to automated analysis. However, the ready availability of sensors makes it increasingly affordable to instrument work spaces to study teamwork and groupwork. The possibility of visualising key aspects of a collaboration has huge potential for both academic and professional learning, but a frontline challenge is the enrichment of quantitative data streams with the qualitative insights needed to make sense of them. In response, we introduce the concept of collaboration translucence, an approach to make visible selected features of group activity. This is grounded both theoretically (in the physical, epistemic, social and affective dimensions of group activity), and contextually (using domain-specific concepts). We illustrate the approach from the automated analysis of healthcare simulations to train nurses, generating four visual proxies that fuse multimodal data into higher order patterns.

Educational Data Scientists: A Scarce Breed
The Educational Data Scientist is currently a poorly understood, rarely sighted breed. Reports vary: some are known to be largely nocturnal, solitary creatures, while others have been reported to display highly social behaviour in broad daylight. What are their primary habits? How do they see the world? What ecological niches do they occupy now, and will predicted seismic shifts transform the landscape in their favour? What survival skills do they need when running into other breeds? Will their numbers grow, and how might they evolve? In this panel, the conference will hear and debate not only broad perspectives on the terrain, but will have been exposed to some real life specimens, and caught glimpses of the future ecosystem.

Transitioning Education’s Knowledge Infrastructure:
Shaping Design or Shouting from the Touchline?
Abstract: Bit by bit, a data-intensive substrate for education is being designed, plumbed in and switched on, powered by digital data from an expanding sensor array, data science and artificial intelligence. The configurations of educational institutions, technologies, scientific practices, ethics policies and companies can be usefully framed as the emergence of a new “knowledge infrastructure” (Paul Edwards).
The idea that we may be transitioning into significantly new ways of knowing – about learning and learners – is both exciting and daunting, because new knowledge infrastructures redefine roles and redistribute power, raising many important questions. For instance, assuming that we want to shape this infrastructure, how do we engage with the teams designing the platforms our schools and universities may be using next year? Who owns the data and algorithms, and in what senses can an analytics/AI-powered learning system be ‘accountable’? How do we empower all stakeholders to engage in the design process? Since digital infrastructure fades quickly into the background, how can researchers, educators and learners engage with it mindfully? If we want to work in “Pasteur’s Quadrant” (Donald Stokes), we must go beyond learning analytics that answer research questions, to deliver valued services to frontline educational users: but how are universities accelerating the analytics innovation to infrastructure transition?
Wrestling with these questions, the learning analytics community has evolved since its first international conference in 2011, at the intersection of learning and data science, and an explicit concern with those human factors, at many scales, that make or break the design and adoption of new educational tools. We are forging open source platforms, links with commercial providers, and collaborations with the diverse disciplines that feed into educational data science. In the context of ICLS, our dialogue with the learning sciences must continue to deepen to ensure that together we influence this knowledge infrastructure to advance the interests of all stakeholders, including learners, educators, researchers and leaders.
Speaking from the perspective of leading an institutional analytics innovation centre, I hope that our experiences designing code, competencies and culture for learning analytics sheds helpful light on these questions.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
