Here Comes The iPad Generation - Future of Higher Education 2015Martin Hamilton
What will the iPad generation expect from further and higher education and skills? In this talk for the 2015 Future of Higher Education conference I discuss drivers for change from the learner's perspective, and signpost some work that Jisc is doing around building digital capability and supporting student led innovation
Technology can offer many opportunities and benefits to students in helping them to develop and communicate their employability skills. However many educational providers miss vital opportunities to equip students with the skills needed in the modern workplace.
This presentation summarises the findings from the recently launched 'technology for employability' report, focusing on an emerging vision for how universities and colleges can best prepare students for life and employment in a digital world.

DCU Community Knowledge Exchange Digital Marketing Plan 2015/2016 PresentationAdam Hide
This was a comprehensive digital marketing plan for The Community Knowledge Exchange in DCU for the 2015/2016 academic year. The plan was centered on some key marketing objectives to improve awareness, enhance CKE reputation, encourage students to address community issues & portray academic research as a positive community driver. The CKE had no budget and limited staff so we had to come up with ways to maximize efficiency with very few man hours.
Implementing the Digital Capability Service in my college or university.James Clay
So how do you build digital capability within your institution? The proposed Jisc Digital Capability Service provides a framework, audit and diagnostic tools and an online offer of activities and CPD. However this is only part of the story, there are key challenges and potential enablers within every institution. This workshop will enable participants to work together to identify the potential barriers, blockers and challenges an organisation will face in building digital capability and think about the potential enablers that will allow them to maximise the impact of the Jisc Digital Capability Service to improve the skills and effectiveness of staff across their organisation.

Building and Communicating Evidence of Effectiveness in OER through Collectiv...Robert Farrow
Much of the evidence surrounding the use (and re-use) of OER is fragmentary or anecdotal. The OLnet project has developed a software tool for effectively gathering, sharing and judging the evidence around key issues of OER. The Evidence Hub distills key insights from the cloud of discussion and opinion creating a thematically indexed, structured ecosystem of organisations, project, issues, recommendations and evidence for the use of those who form the Open Education movement. In this presentation we explain the key concepts behind the Evidence Hub and some of its possible uses.

Many organisations struggle to get staff engaging with technology enhanced learning. They also struggle to meet the needs of disabled students in efficient and sustainable ways. The two are not unrelated. Technology can be the most effective way of giving disabled students inclusive resources and experiences and the Equality Act can be a convincing argument for staff to engage.
"This session will introduce the work of Eportfolio Ireland, a professional learning network for practitioners and researchers. In this session, we will engage in a structured discussion around issues of identity and ethics in the context of eportfolio practice. Together we will consider the following questions:
- Who owns student eportfolio data?
- What happens if a student documents activities which are in breach of law?
- Is it ethical to ask students to pay for continued eportfolio access after graduation?
- What is the relationship between identity formation and eportfolio development?
- How do students capture their identity formation journey through eportfolio?
- How does eportfolio create self-constructed multiple identities?"

Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 2: Resource development by ...ePortfolios Australia
The Digital Ethics ePortfolio Task Force for the Association for Authentic, Experiential, & Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL) continued to bring together international ePortfolio scholars and practitioners to establish research-based digital practices for ePortfolio stakeholders, including institutions, students, educators, and administrators. Phase one developed an online interactive resource, Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 1, which outlines strategies, scenarios, and resources around ten principles. This second iteration adds additional principles related to ePortfolio evaluation practices; practices that encourage diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; and visibility of labour. In Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios: Version 2, revisions to the original ten principles integrate information regarding eProfessionalism and legal issues that can intersect with ePortfolio practice. The original online visual interface has also been upgraded. This expanded version of the principles document continues to articulate explicit and applicable practices relevant to ePortfolio creators, educators, platform creators, and administrators of programs and institutions with ePortfolio requirements.

The Social Nature of Engineering + InnovationKristin Halpin
More and more, organizations in the science, technology, and engineering industry are using social media as a tool to reach their audiences. They are successfully positioning their organizations and employees as thought leaders to advance industry knowledge and drive innovation. These organizations that have taken the plunge into the world of social media are learning that the tool enhances the efficiency of internal and external communications needs in the industry. Messages shared through social media channels are quicker than traditional communication forms and allow for real-time interaction and outside feedback that drive ideas and innovation further and faster than ever. Like any tactic, social media is most effective when integrated into an overall communications strategy, connected to business objectives, and informed by research, planning, and measurement.

Introduction to Implementing the Balanced Value Impact Model - Workshop for N...Simon Tanner
The Balanced Value Impact Model is intended to aid the thinking and decision making of those wishing to engage in Impact Assessment. It also acts as a guide through the process of Impact Assessment to enable the core values most appropriate to the assessment to be brought to the fore and given a balanced consideration when evaluating outcomes. It presumes that the assessment will be measuring change within an ecosystem for a digital resource.
For the purposes of this Model, the definition of Impact is: The measurable outcomes arising from the existence of a digital resource that demonstrate a change in the life or life opportunities of the community.
Who should use the BVI Model?
The aim of this workshop is to provide key information and a strong model for the following primary communities of use:
Memory institutions and cultural heritage organizations, such as libraries, museums and archives.
Funding bodies who wish to promote evidence-based impact assessment of activities they support.
Holders and custodians of special collections.
Managers, project managers and fundraisers who are seeking to justify further investment in digital resources.
Academics looking to establish digital projects and digital scholarship collaborations with collection owners.
Publishing, media and business sectors which may be considering the best means to measure the impact of their digital resources and are looking to collaborate and align with collection owners, with academia or with memory institutions.
Impact Assessment practitioners considering an Impact Assessment of a digital resource.
What the workshop will cover:
Where the value and impact can be found in digital resources,
Who are the beneficiaries gaining from the impact and value,
How to measure change and impact for digital resources,
How to do an Impact Assessment using the Balanced Value Impact Model, and
How to present a convincing evidence-based argument for digital resources?
The Workshop will include case studies of how the BVI Model is being implemented at present.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Abstract
Abstract
Brian Kelly will describe an evidence-based
approach to the prediction of technological
developments which will be relevant to the higher
education sector which is being used by the JISC
Observatory
Note
• The methodology may be of importance to
institutions in light of Jisc changes.
• The audience will have an opportunity to apply the
methodology across a variety of emerging
technologies.

14. Shush!
14
Librarians will appropriate technological
developments to support their activities!
Acknowledgements to Patrick
Hochstenbach (@hochstenbach)
15. What Can We Conclude?
Assumptions of:
• Inevitability of technological developments
• Economic growth (we can afford them)
• Political and social environment (no legal or
environmental barriers)
There is a need to:
• Be wary of predictions which:
Simply justify our organisation‟s current
approaches (cf. music industry)
Reflect personal beliefs
• Base predictions on evidence
• Acknowledge that evidence may challenge
organisational or personal beliefs / prejudices
15
16. The Context
In the future mobiles will be smaller & faster;
Data will be Big and content and services will be
open. Lots of opportunities for librarians

17. Ideas initially described
in paper presented at
EMTACL (Emerging
Technologies in
Academic Libraries)
conference

Accompanying Paper
18. Time of Growth
1990s & early 2000s saw:
• Increased funding across
education sector
• Significant developments in
IT sector
• Willingness by senior
managers & funding bodies
to invest in innovative IT
developments (e.g. JISC
development programmes)

19. Time of Growth is Over
Late 2000s and beyond:
• Decreased funding across
education & public sector
• Acknowledgements that
innovation can provide
growth and cost savings
• Significant developments
continue in IT sector
• Investment in innovative IT
developments need to be
based on evidence of
benefits & likleyhood of
success

20. Lessons From The Past
Importance of open standards:
• Open standards are essential for interoperability;
preservation; …
• Therefore use SMIL and SVG (open standards from
W3C) and not Flash (proprietary)
The need to be realistic
• What happened to SMIL and SVG?
• The marketplace didn‟t embrace the open standards
• Adoption of open standards would have been costly
• Flash is now being superceded by HTML5
• Flash‟s demise due to lack of support by Apple on
mobile devices
20
22. Why Future-Watch?
Need for future-watching to help identify tomorrow‟s key
technologies:
• Change existing business processes
• Decide to invest resources in finding out more
(e.g. commissioning reports)
• Invest in training and development in new areas
• Explore ways of deprecating existing services (cf
WH Smith‟s decision to stop selling CD singles in
2004)
• …
22
23. Audience Participation
Provide examples of relevant technological / societal
developments which may affect your business:
• Mainstream areas
• Niche areas

24. JISC Observatory
JISC Observatory:
• JISC-funded initiative
• Systematises processes for anticipating and
responding to projected future trends & scenarios
• Provided by JISC Innovation Support Centres at
UKOLN and CETIS
• See <http://blog.observatory.jisc.ac.uk/>

26. Scanning Activities
• Blog posts:
Posts published on JISC Observatory
blog and on existing blogs.
• Monitoring trends:
Monitoring trends in order to:
Benchmark current usage patterns
Identify trends
Identify emerging patterns of usage
26
Google searches for “learning analytics”
took off in 2010.
Possible indicator of relevance across
sector & need for further investigation.
27. Sense-making
Need to:
• Understand limitations of evidence-gathering
techniques (including documenting „paradata‟ so
survey findings are reproducible & can be critiqued)
• Provide suggestions of implications of developments
for the sector
In addition need to encourage feedback on:
• Evidence-gathering techniques
• Interpretation of findings
• Implications of developments
In order to inform:
• Further investigation
• Policy-making, planning and funding27
31. Significant Trends: Social Media
There were “more than 150 million Tweets about the
Olympics over the past 16 days”. [Twitter blog]
31
32. Significant Trends: Social Media
Survey in Aug 2012 of institutional use of Facebook across the
24 Russell Group universities found >1M „Likes‟ followers
32
33. Behind The Data
Trends in Fb „Likes‟ for Russell
group Unis since Jan 2011 show
steady increase
33
Jan 11 Sep 11 May 12 Jul 12
But note increase in Jul 2012 due
to addition of 4 new universities!
But might trends hide a more
complex story:
• Usage & growth dominated
by one significant player.
• More modest usage
generally
34. Need for Paradata and Discussion
Surveys carried out to monitor usage & trends for:
• Institutional use of social media
• Use of researcher profiling services (e.g. Google
Scholar, Academia.edu, …) across institutions
Observations (and feedback):
• Differing results found if quotes used
• Possible inclusion of wrong Unis (e.g. Newcastle
University, Australia)
• Personalised results depending on client environment
34
Need to provide paradata and encourage feedback
on processes and intrepretation of findings
35. Paradata Example
An example of paradata for a blog post on use
of Blekko for an SEO analysis of Russell
Group Universities
35
Dates of survey
Summary of unexpected findings Limitations of survey methodology
People in host institution can
provide contextual knowledge if
open approaches used
36. Lies, Damned Lies and Graphs
“#Blekko traffic goes through the
roof – for good reason. Try it out!”
Based on blog post entitled
“Blekko’s Traffic Is Up Almost 400
Percent; Here Are The CEO’s
Five Reasons Why” (includes
dissatisfaction with Goole)
36
Is Blekko’s Traffic Really Going Through The Roof? Will It Challenge Google?,
UK Web Focus blog, 18 April 2012
37. Open Sense-making
Importance of open approaches to interpretation
of signals:
• Evidence-gathering methodologies may have flaws
• Incorrect or inappropriate implications may be
made
• This may lead to wrong decisions being made
37
Open sense-making approaches may be difficult –
your marketing department may wish a consistent,
positive message to be made.
38. Beware vested
interests who may
be threatened by
implications of
predictions
Developments may
• Be aligned with
current plans
• Challenge current
plans
38
39. Sense-Making: Social Media
Social media:
• Is about nodes and connections
• Numbers do matter for effective
engagement and disseminations
• Experiences from other areas:
Nos. of mobile phones
Importance of email
“All bugs are shallow to many eyes”
Implications:
• Importance of best practices for popular & well-
used channels
• Difficulties for new entrants e.g. Diaspora (open
alternative to Facebook) and identi.ca and app.net
(new open alternative to Twitter)39
40. 40
Open Data
“Is London 2012 a
haven for open
data?”
Conclusions:
• “Not this time”
• “But it is the first
data Olympics”
• “It's hard to see that
by [Rio] 2016 this
won't emerge as
data we can all
use”
41. Open Data
“Manchester City to
open the archive on
player data and
statistics”
Example of:
• Public interest in
open data
• Interest from
commercial sector
41
42. 42
Use of Open Data in Libraries
Trends in reusing Library usage data,
e.g. JISC‟s Library Impact Data Project
Average number of books borrowed and e-resource
logins for ~33,000 students in final year of studies

44. Follow-up comment
(20 Aug 2012):
“VC should be
applauded for the
classic business
move of getting the
university to
concentrate on its
core activity”

45. Recap
Within your organisation / sector there is a need to have
mechanisms for identifying technological developments
which may have an impact on the business:
• Observing trends and signals
• Observing signals from diversity of sources
• Interpreting the implications
• Identifying changes which may be needed within the
organisation
• Inviting feedback and critiques of the evidence-gathering
processes and the interpretations of the findings
45
47. Challenge For Librarians
In time of uncertain
futures:
• Use evidence-based
approaches to
understanding the future
• Understand the changing
environment
• Engage with opportunities
in areas of growth and
institutional importance
• Be open and encourage
discussion on analysis &
interpretation of findings
47
48. Serenity prayer
Serenity prayer:
God, grant me the
serenity to accept
the things I cannot
change,
Courage to change
the things I can,
And wisdom to know
the difference.
48
Tim Berners-Lee
didn‟t accept the
evidence of the
popularity of Gopher!
49. The Data will be Big, but our users will continue to use
Facebook and Twitter
But research data will grow in importance as will use of
mobiles.
According to the evidence the future isn‟t quite what I
expected. But it has helped to identify our business
strategies.
Conclusions
