Social Network Analysis: applications for education researchChristian Bokhove
What is your talk about?
This seminar will illustrate various social network analysis (SNA) techniques and measures and their applications to research problems in education. These applications will be illustrated from our own research utilising a range of SNA techniques.
What are the key messages of your talk?
We will cover some of the ways in which network data can be collected and utilised with other research data to examine the relationships between network measures and other attributes of individuals and organisations, and how it can be linked to other approaches in multiple methods studies.
What are the implications for practice or research from your talk?
SNA is an approach that draws from theories of social capital to study the relational ties that exist between actors or institutions in a specific context. Such ties might include learning exchanges or advice-seeking interactions. SNA techniques allow researchers to incorporate the interdependence of participants within their research questions, whereas many traditional techniques assume our participants, and their responses to our questions, are independent of one another.

Social Network Analysis: What It Is, Why We Should Care, and What We Can Lear...Xiaohan Zeng
This document provides an overview of social network analysis, including what social networks are, what can be learned from analyzing social networks, and how social network analysis can be performed. Some key findings that can be uncovered include the six degrees of separation principle, the 80-20 rule of social popularity where a minority of nodes have most connections, how to identify influential nodes, and how to group similar nodes into communities. Various metrics and models are described for analyzing features like path lengths, degree distributions, ranking nodes, measuring community structure, and more. Examples of social network analysis are also provided.
This document summarizes a lecture on social information retrieval. It discusses social search, which takes social networks into account. One study examined questions people ask their social networks on Facebook and Twitter. It found questions were short, directed to "anyone", and about acceptable topics like relationships. Fast responses were considered helpful. Centrality measures like degree, closeness, and betweenness are used to determine important nodes in social networks. Strong and weak ties play different roles in information diffusion. Tie strength can be estimated using topology, neighborhood overlap, and profile/interaction data.
This document discusses designing socially conscious e-learning processes. It proposes using social metrics as parameters to evaluate concepts and ideas at the early stages of e-learning product development. This acts as a filter to reduce socially offensive content. The model aims to increase e-learning benefits and effectiveness while respecting various social concerns like religion, culture, politics and language. It argues this approach can reduce customer offense, lower costs from complaints, and help e-learning success by considering psychological and social factors.
This document summarizes a three-phase project by the Pearson Think Tank called "Careers2020" that aims to explore how young people can best be supported to plan and progress into their futures. Phase one involved reviewing evidence on careers work in schools. Phase two surveyed schools on careers activities and found a mixed picture with some declines. Phase three will involve developing innovative ideas for the future of careers work. The project seeks to improve careers education and support for all students.
Experiments on Crowdsourcing Policy Assessment - Oxford IPP 2014Araz Taeihagh
This document summarizes an experiment that tested whether non-expert crowds can assess policy measures as well as experts. Researchers conducted two experiments using crowdsourced labor markets: one with Dutch participants and one with global participants. Both crowds evaluated 96 climate change adaptation policy measures on criteria like importance and urgency. The measures were previously assessed by Dutch experts. Results were analyzed to see how non-expert crowd assessments compared to expert assessments and whether geography impacted non-expert performance. The goal was to determine if crowds could be useful for policy design by evaluating policy alternatives.

A Comparative Case Study Of Appreciative Inquiries In One Organization Impli...Becky Gilbert
This document summarizes a case study of appreciative inquiries conducted at eight sites within a large urban school district in Canada. The appreciative inquiries aimed to explore "what do we know about learning." Data collected over 18 months found that four sites experienced transformational changes, two had incremental changes, and two showed little change. The study explores differences between the sites that may help explain the varying levels of change. It describes the appreciative inquiry process used, which was the same across all sites, and examines factors both within and outside of the design that appeared to influence the level of change experienced. Recommendations are provided for successful appreciative inquiry practice based on lessons learned.
This document describes Utah State University's redesigned their Technical Communication and Rhetoric program to incorporate considerations of social justice across the curriculum. The program faculty envisioned this shift after bringing on new faculty members and recognizing opportunities to increase diversity and recruit students interested in social justice.

In my keynote for the Washington, DC TC Camp (http://www.tccamp.org/), I address the trend toward treating technical writing as a form of content that is useful to organizations. I also talk about the possibility that many technical writers will soon be serving as content strategists if they're not already.
Dr. Guiseppe Getto discusses the importance of user experience (UX) for digital products and services. He outlines how to create a UX strategy blueprint with sections for challenges, aspirations, focus areas, guiding principles, activities, and measurements. The strategy aims to achieve high customer satisfaction through an ongoing process of designing prototypes, testing them with users, and refining based on feedback. Regular design, test, and refine sessions should continue post-launch to maintain satisfaction. Tools mentioned include services for usability testing, rapid prototyping, and content strategy.
My presentation for the Council for Programs in Technical and Scientific Communication (http://cptsc.org/) annual meeting. My teaching approach for UX and project management in an agile environment.
Designing for Dialogue: Persona-fying Healthcare UsersGuiseppe Getto
The document discusses persona development as a technique for designing usable digital healthcare systems. It argues that while competence is important, designers should focus more on engaging users in dialogue and understanding their needs, goals and lives. The authors propose developing personas through qualitative research to represent different user groups and inform design. Personas allow designers to put users' health, well-being and needs first while meeting technological requirements.
Doing UX: A Workflow for Teaching and TrainingGuiseppe Getto
This document outlines a workflow for teaching user experience (UX) design to professionals with no prior UX experience. It discusses key ways to introduce UX, such as workshops and collaborative projects. It also covers important things for new UX professionals to understand, like the UX process and that UX involves more than just usability. The goal is to create sustainable improvements by getting people doing hands-on UX work and seeing it as a way to solve problems in their own work. Ensuring new UX professionals understand foundational concepts and can apply UX methods is important for impact.

A presentation for the annual Association of Teachers of Technical Writing conference (http://attw.org/conference) on how to build an academic research agenda around user experience design.
Designing Globally, Thinking Locally: An Argument for Design Workflow Virtual...Guiseppe Getto
In this presentation for the Symposium on Communicating Complex Information (http://workshop.design4complexity.com/home.php), we present an argument for "design workflow virtualization." This is a fancy term for processes for including globally dispersed and culturally diverse stakeholders within UX design projects.
Building UX Knowledge in an Engaged UniversityGuiseppe Getto
This is a handout I created in support of my presentation for CPTSC 2013: http://cptsc.org/. The handout provides a model for building an engaged academic identity around UX design that spans research, teaching, and service.

Activity 3: How will your department respond?
3. What Is PAR?
“Action research integrates research and action in a series
of flexible cycles involving, holistically rather than as
separate steps: the collection of data about the topic of
investigation; analysis and interpretation of those data; the
planning and introduction of action strategies to bring
about positive changes; and evaluation of those
changes through further data collection, analysis and
interpretation… ” (Somekh, 2006)
5. How does PAR connect to service-learning?
Both involve critical thinking, reflection, and action
Both aim to unite academic activities (research and
teaching) with community-based problem-solving
Both are difficult, messy, iterative activities
Both involve balancing the (often competing) needs
of a variety of stakeholders (i.e. community
members, faculty, students, etc.)
