As an advocate of social media I can (and do) wax lyrical about the potential of the digital spaces that provide prospective place(s) to listen, interact and learn. For many the affordances have enabled opportunities to extend networks, helped to build meaningful connections and nurtured personal relationships (often at a distance).
The immediacy and open interactivity of these spaces have unlocked alternative ways to communicate and collaborate that can also remove spatial and time-oriented constraints. They enable and encourage the use of multimedia communication through images, video and audio to augment the written words we may choose to share.
However, as much as open listening and sharing can be considered as liberating and empowering, there can be (and are) unintended as well as intended consequences.
This keynote will explore why it is vital that we all consider the implications of our public digital interactions - from the data we share; what we say or don't say; and the significance of doing, being and becoming - and how this can impact on our sense of belonging and wellbeing.

Evolution of Social Media and its effects on Knowledge OrganisationCollabor8now Ltd
There has been a lot of hype around social media, social networks and social business, much of it unhelpful in understanding what this is all about. For some people, “social” will always mean frivolity and time wasting. For others, social media just means marketing and communications.
The evolution of social media over the past several years has made it easier than ever before to find, connect and engage with “experts” and people with similar interests. Enlightened organisations have recognised that investment in social technologies and (most importantly) the organisational change required in order to nurture and embed a collaborative culture, can overcome the limitations of silo’d structures that have traditionally inhibited information flows and opportunities for innovation.
In a broader context, the pervasive and ubiquitous availability of social media in almost all aspects of daily life, from the way we communicate, get information, buy and sell, travel, live and learn is adding to the pressure on organisations to provide a more porous interface between internal (behind the firewall) and external services. Knowledge workers are increasingly making their own decisions on what tools, products and services that they need to work more effectively and will become increasingly disaffected if these are not available within the work environment.
This presentation looks at industry trends on how social media and social technologies are changing the way that we generate, organise and consume knowledge, and how this is driving emergent digital literacies for knowledge workers.

Information and society
Since the advent of easy access to the internet and the World Wide Web, society has a different attitude towards information and access to information. The technology changes – from slow desk-tops with dial-up access to smartphones – have also changed our interaction with information.
This is also an area in which generational differences show up. Those of us born before the mid1980s or 1990s have followed all of these changes and have had to adapt to it. For those born in the 1990s (the millennials or digital natives), these methods of getting information have always existed. The millenials have seen some of the technology changes but don’t remember the “old” way. Keep this in mind as you read these notes.
An information society
At the beginning of the semester we talked about the many different ways we get information and the definitions of information. Now we’re going to look more at how information and information technologies have changed society.
Lester and Koehler talk about defining an information society in economic sense. While this is important, I don’t think we need to look at the percentage of our GNP to see that we do live in an information society. Think of all the companies that are based on information – computer technologies, web based businesses, cell phone and technologies, GPS, etc. There are also jobs that rely on information – customer service, stock markets, etc.

Using social media safely and appropriately in higher education - A reflectio...Sue Beckingham
In 2013 we developed guidance for using social media for learning which was student facing and that staff could also access to guide their advice to students. The development of the guidance was prompted by an increasing number of requests from academic staff who were concerned about student online behaviours in social media spaces. Most of these requests for help were from staff on professional courses with staff concerns primarily about potentially unprofessional online behaviours. We focused on student guidance for personal responsibility and online safety, followed by broad-brush guidance in how to use social media in learning and teaching. We then developed guidance in three further areas: Using social media for learning; Managing your digital footprint; How to use social media responsibly; and Using social media to enhance your employability. We have updated this guidance a few times in the last 10 years and now in 2023 we have redeveloped the guidance again, giving a thorough overhaul and fresh update. In our presentation we will share our new guidance and discuss what is new and what has stayed the same over the past 10 years.
From monologue to dialogue - Scaffolding multi-perspective and co-constructed...Sue Beckingham
Poster & Pitch Presentation at the AHE Conference #assessmentconf23
Abstract
As educators we want to encourage our students to react to and enact upon feedback given. However for students to benefit from feedback they need to understand the components of feedback literacy (Carless and
Boud, 2018), the value of feedforward (Sambell et al, 2012) and how to connect the dots between different
types of feedback.
Supplementing one-way monologic feedback with interactive and dialogic feedback, provides students with opportunities to make sense of it. Furthermore it provides tutors with feedback on how students negotiate the
meaning of not just the feedback but also the assessment guidance and marking criteria (Bloxham and West, 2007). Being able to ask questions and engage in conversations about their feedback, enable students to take ownership of their own development whilst feeling supported. However we know that students are not always
proactive receivers of feedback (Winstone et al, 2017). Whilst the role of the tutor in this process is important, there’s a place for others to contribute. Yang and Carless’s (2013:287) feedback triangle makes a valuable
connection between the content of feedback, the social end interpersonal negotiation of feedback, and the organisation and management of feedback. Yet unless the student is guided and supported to understand how to recognise the many different ways feedback can be given and develop trust in those giving feedback, they may find it hard to engage with any feedback and the value of ongoing social learning relationships. As McArthur and Huxham (2013) argue, the use of dialogic feedback should be introduced from the start and
become an ongoing practice the students develop confidence in.
The aim of my poster will be to visualise the interconnected components that can impact on the effective use of feedback. Based on an evaluation of practice, a case study of a second-year elective module will be used to demonstrate how scaffolding a variety of feedback mechanisms can help build feedback literacy, provide
clarity of what is expected from students and identify pinch points. During the module ongoing formative feedback is given to students not only by their Tutor, but also their peers and the Clients students work with on an applied project. This includes verbal and written dialogic formative feedback and the integration of peer led
social media and collaborative technologies for interactive and reflective feedback. The outcomes of the students’ final piece of summative assessment are greatly enhanced.
Students' use of social media for academic studies - The connecting bridge be...Sue Beckingham
Engaging in groupwork can have many benefits, but in practice can become fraught with challenges. Students participating in groupwork projects and activities are more likely to succeed if they can meet regularly, feel they are included and belong, and know how they can contribute. The diverse student body include those that commute to university, juggle work and have caring responsibilities. They may have a learning contract or as international students are listening, learning, and speaking in a second language. All of these can impact on the logistics and success of in-person meetings. My research will share from the student’s perspective how social media and digital technology can support group cohesion, trust, and productivity. Insights from final year students will provide feedback on their experience of how technology has helped them develop effective groupwork skills; and from recent graduates how they now apply these skills in the workplace.
How should our higher education institutions respond to innovations in new AI...Sue Beckingham
Title:
How should our higher education institutions respond to innovations in new AI-based language processing software (like Chat GPT)?
Summary
Education Development staff and units are already receiving enquiries from academics who are concerned about new AI-based language processing software (like Chat GPT) and more recent innovations from Microsoft and Google, using current internet search data. This session will summarise main issues and the most likely developments in this software before suggesting major steps which every institution could/should take to ensure that we take advantage of its considerable educational potential.
Outline
A leading expert on artificial intelligence (AI) and its application to learning, Donald Clark, suggests that the date of ChatGPT’s official release:
“...will go down in history as the day a new wave of innovation around AI was given birth. This will change everything in learning.” (1)
In its own words:
“ChatGPT can understand, generate and respond to human language. It is a sophisticated technology that can help in various applications like chatbot and other language generation tasks.” (2)
ChatGPT became the fastest-growing software application of all time, immediately generating media headlines such as: “Goodbye homework” (The Telegraph) and “AI bot ChatGPT stuns academics with essay-writing skills” (The Guardian)
Academics are running pilots/trials (3) and have already demonstrated that ChatGPT can:
• Write assignments and reports (which can be adapted to communicate to different levels of audience) and achieve pass grades at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. (4)
• Grade assignments against assessment criteria and produce an appropriate feedback report. (5)
• Write module specifications. (5)
• Produce lesson plans for specified topics. (5)
• Be a useful study aid (6)
• Construct several different drafts on a given topic. (6)
• Produce outlines for essays or reports. (6)
• Write working computer code. (7)
• Produce illustrations from a written description. (8)
ChatGPT’s success and new products (such as Bing from Microsoft and the Bard from Google) raises fundamental questions about its use by students. Will they use it to enhance learning (as ‘study buddy’ or ‘writer’s assistant’) or as a sophisticated plagiarism tool (which cannot yet be reliably detected by tools like Turnitin)?
This session will summarise main issues and the most likely developments in this software (9, 10) before suggesting major steps which every institution could/should take to ensure that we take advantage of its considerable educational affordances and potential “PedAIgogical” impact (11).

Exploring modality in the context of blended and hybrid education.pptxSue Beckingham
In this session Simon and Sue will present their individual but inter-related work examining modes of learning and mixed-modal education. With reference to Modes of Learning in Higher Education (Beckingham, 2021) and the Subject, Pedagogy and Modality (SPaM) Framework (Thomson, 2022), the session will introduce participants to proposed definitions for learning modes as well as a framework to support the development of mixed-modal curriculum. Drawing upon their own experiences, the presenters will provide examples of where mixed-modal design can be most effective and how such a process can support a future hybrid curriculum underpinned by “sound pedagogical reasons” (Office for Students, 2022) as we move towards an education experience that will ultimately become more blended by default.
Mattering, meaning making and motivation - Building trust and respect through...Sue Beckingham
Making connections, interacting, and learning to collaborate with peers are vital components of the student experience. This may start in person but there are now many more ways that extend both informal and formal learning through the development of multimodal social learning communities. Students are empowered to co-create their own virtual learning places using social media providing valued space to develop a more personalised and inclusive learning relationship; and the choice to interact when and where they choose. Scaffolded by tutors, this can provide support to develop interpersonal communication and cooperation.
This presentation will share suggestions on how social media can support mattering where students build trust and feel significant; steps to ensure they understand what is expected of them in these spaces; and shared experiences where students have learned to work cooperatively, motivating them to achieve the goals they have planned.
A practical approach to amplifying scholarly practice through digital technol...Sue Beckingham
This presentation focuses on approaches individuals can employ to share their teaching excellence in a way that celebrates their contribution, assures recognition, and secures metrics that offer an indication of the works reach, value and impact.
Taking into consideration the broad spectrum of work that can be defined as ‘scholarly practice’ e.g., research informed teaching, pedagogy in and beyond the classroom, and the scholarship of learning and teaching, our presentation illuminates several approaches and demonstrates how they can be used to share these important outputs more widely.
Considering both the benefits and challenges, approaches to the effective dissemination of scholarship will include the innovative use of digital technology, highlight the ‘best’ social media platforms, and draw delegates attention to the award-winning National Teaching Repository.
Sharing real-life examples of scholarly outputs in multiple multi-media based formats (e.g., teaching resources, infographics and audio) we will demonstrate, step-by-step, the dissemination journey that delegates can adopt themselves. In addition to mapping the practical steps, the presentation will highlight how and why sharing one’s scholarship is beneficial, but also why it is important to find and try new ways of sharing.

Using social media safely and appropriately in higher education.pptxSue Beckingham
The almost ubiquitous use of mobile technology and easy access to social media apps, and more recently video conferencing software such as Zoom, provide multiple ways for individuals to interact. These technologies have been adopted by both educators and students and provide many useful ways to communicate and collaborate within and beyond the classroom. The acceleration of digital communication tools and widespread use of digital technology in our daily lives present tensions as the collection of personal data increasingly gives rise to privacy concerns. Furthermore, inappropriate online communications have resulted in serious situations and significant repercussions for those involved. It is therefore timely to revisit the guidance on appropriate online behaviour in the use of social media, and how we use technology safely, along with being clear about the potential implications if this advice is not heeded. In our session we will share the open access resources we have developed at Sheffield Hallam University with suggestions on how these could be used with students. These include: How to use social media responsibly, Managing your digital footprint, Using social media for learning, and Using social media to enhance your employability.
Using social media to create your own professional development and PLN.pptxSue Beckingham
This presentation consider sthe importance as an educator of developing a personal learning network (PLN) and the ways social media can contribute to your own professional development.

Getting to know your students through storytelling.pptxSue Beckingham
Starting university can be a daunting experience. As educators we want all our students to have a sense of belonging, to feel valued and respected. Spending time at the beginning of the academic year to get to know your students, for them to get to know each other, and for them to get to know you is a valuable way to put them at ease.
Cultivating an inclusive learning community develops confidence and students are more likely to engage. My presentation will share some of the activities my first-year students experience and how this contributes to student engagement.

Prior research has highlighted that whilst engaging in groupwork can have many benefits, in practice it can also present a range of challenges. We know that our diverse student body includes those that commute to university, juggle work and have caring responsibilities; they may have a learning contract; or as international students are listening, learning, and speaking in a second language. All of these can impact on the logistics and success of in-person group meetings, a crucial component of groupwork. This poster outlines the outcomes of a qualitative study with recent graduates and final year students and their personal recommendations to make groupwork more inclusive, supportive and valued. The research will share from the student’s perspective how social media and digital technology can support group cohesion, trust, and productivity; along with suggestions that could help all students better prepare for a multimodal approach to groupwork.
The complex web of social interaction - Expanding virtual and spatial multili...Sue Beckingham
From an early age we learn how to communicate with others and develop an understanding of etiquette and what constitutes polite behaviour and good manners when interacting in person. The term ‘netiquette’ refers to internet etiquette. Welsh and Wright (2010) use the term netiquette as the rules of etiquette in digital communication and DeJong (2013:115) describe netiquette as "a term used for professional and polite practices online".
Students will use multiple ways to communicate with their friends and family in a social context; with peers and tutors throughout their learning and assessment experience; and with potential employers when seeking placements and graduate job opportunities. Communication may be in person or online, be formal or informal. Furthermore the modes of communication used will be multimodal integrating visual, audio, gestural and spatial patterns of meaning (Cope and Kalantzis, 2009). The New London Group (1996:63) coined the term multiliteracies to describe “the multiplicity of communications channels and media, and the increasing saliency of cultural and linguistic diversity”. There are expectations that students entering university will all have a command of these multiliteracies and the expected rules of netiquette. Moreover they may be judged and assessed on their interactions both in person and online. A significant question is where are they taught these skills and how do we know the students have developed them?
This poster considers a range of literacies required as networked individuals (Rainie and Wellman, 2012), and the need to provide students with guidance on professional social skills and multi literacy support. Drawing upon Miller’s (2015) multi literacies framework for university learning, suggestions for formative activities are given. These focus on six domains of literacy: institutional literacies, digital literacies, social and cultural literacies, critical literacies, language literacies, and academic literacies.

Learning to learn is a lifetime endeavour. Anderson (2016) proposes that aspiration, self-awareness, curiosity, and vulnerability can help us to address new learning curves. Key to this is learning with and from others – learning as a partnership.

I will share the PARTNERSHIP framework I am developing which proposes a collection of building blocks that when considered, can help to scaffold the development of learning communities.
Building a social learning community: Tips and tools for surviving a PhD and professional learning during a pandemic and beyond.
A summary of our fireside chat at #SocMedHE21

Undertaking independent professional learning or further study such as a PhD or EdD can be an isolating experience. You may be juggling full-time work and studying part-time; have caring responsibilities; studying in person or as a distance learner. Irrespective of study mode, the experience of being a PhD or EdD student is very different to a taught undergraduate or postgraduate degree where a cohort of students study together and follow the same curriculum for the main part of their degree. The PhD experience whilst an individual learning experience, can still open up opportunities for serendipitous conversations. These may occur on campus in the corridor, seminars, guest lectures, in the workplace, during social activities or through attending conferences. However, during the pandemic opportunities for such interactions were curtailed and all contact was shifted online through remote learning. The session will be facilitated through a ‘fireside chat’ where we will share the spaces (tools), places (groups), and resources that have helped us through the pandemic; considering those we will take forward to support our continued journey, those that we will try to incorporate, and those that we are glad to leave behind. This session will provide input to a co-created toolkit which will be shared openly for use and adaptation by others. The toolkit could also be used by individuals undertaking other types of professional development. This might include scholarship, research or study, for example an Academic Professional Higher Degree Apprenticeships, Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice or applying for a Senior/Principal Fellowship, SEDA Fellowship, CMALT (Certified Membership of ALT) or other professional recognition scheme.
Recognising the value of interdependence through cooperative active learningSue Beckingham
Presentation at the Practical Pedagogy Conference.
The events of the past 18 months have meant that many educators have had to adapt the way they teach and to undertake this online. For those who had already embraced active flexible learning, the transition online to some extent was made easier. In my session I will share my teaching approaches pre pandemic, during, and my plans for the coming academic year. This will demonstrate how active cooperative learning is an essential component of the student experience and one that complements both individual and competitive learning approaches.
Drawing upon Social Interdependence Theory (Brufee 1993, Johnson and Johnson 2010) I will highlight the conditions that are essential for effective cooperation and how this can help to develop students to become confident lifelong learners who are able to work both independently and collaboratively. I will also introduce the Learning Activity Smörgåsbord and the accompanying resources I am currently developing and seek feedback and further suggestions. This will then be shared with a Creative Commons licence and added to the National Teaching Repository.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Revisiting the affordances and consequences of digital interconnectedness and socially mediated publicness
1. Revisiting the affordances and implications of
interconnectedness and socially mediated publicness
Sue Beckingham @suebecks
#ALTC 2019 Keynote
2. Revisiting the affordances and consequences of digital
interconnectedness and socially mediated publicness
As an advocate of social media I can (and do) wax lyrical about the potential of
the digital spaces that provide prospective place(s) to listen, interact and learn.
For many the affordances have enabled opportunities to extend networks,
helped to build meaningful connections and nurtured personal relationships
(often at a distance).
The immediacy and open interactivity of these spaces have unlocked
alternative ways to communicate and collaborate that can also remove spatial
and time-oriented constraints. They enable and encourage the use of
multimedia communication through images, video and audio to augment the
written words we may choose to share.
However, as much as open listening and sharing can be considered as
liberating and empowering, there can be (and are) unintended as well as
intended consequences.
This keynote will explore why it is vital that we all consider the implications of
our public digital interactions - from the data we share; what we say or don't
say; and the significance of doing, being and becoming - and how this can
impact on our sense of belonging and wellbeing.

1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born
is just normal;
2) anything that gets invented between then and before
you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with
any luck you can make a career out of it;
3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is
against the natural order of things and the beginning of the
end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for
about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright
really.

10. Samsung Smart TV
"listening in to everything you say"
If you enable Voice Recognition, you can interact with
your Smart TV using your voice. To provide you the Voice
Recognition feature, some interactive voice commands
may be transmitted (along with information about your
device, including device identifiers) to a third-party service
provider (currently, Nuance Communications, Inc.) that
converts your interactive voice commands to text and to
the extent necessary to provide the Voice Recognition
features to you.
In addition, Samsung may collect and your device may
capture voice commands and associated texts so that we
can provide you with Voice Recognition features and
evaluate and improve the features. Samsung will collect
your interactive voice commands only when you make a
specific search request to the Smart TV by clicking the
activation button either on the remote control or on your
screen and speaking into the microphone on the remote
control.

and that many once distinct situations
were suddenly combined.
What would change?
"In one large combined social situation, for
example students would see their
teachers falling asleep in front of the
television set, blue collar workers would
see corporate presidents being yelled at
by their own children, voters would see
politicians have one drink too many,
women would overhear men talking about

watched someone total up the bill with a bar code reader,
Perhaps you paid with an ATM card or credit card or used one as
identification for a check. Last night, maybe the data describing
what you bought and who you are were telecommunicated from
the supermarket to a central location point.
This morning, detailed information about your buying habits
could have been culled from one database and sold to a third
party who could compile it tomorrow into another electronic
dossier somewhere one that knows what you buy and where you
live and how much money you owe.
Next week a fourth party might purchase that dossier, combine it
with a few tens of millions of others on an optical disk, and offer
to sell the collection of information as a marketing tool."

Food management
3 built-in cameras allow you to see what’s inside the
fridge via internet connectivity. When you're out
shopping, you can use the Smart Home App
(available on Android and iOS) to check what's left
in the fridge and work out what you need to buy.
There are also systems to help you keep track of
your grocery's expiry dates, as well as monitor and
re-order your food shopping.
Family connection
The fridge's touch screen display also works like a
kitchen blackboard, complete with a calendar and
diary for you to add reminders to, or share notes with
the rest of the family. Just like a large tablet, you
can watch TV or listen to the radio on while you're in
the kitchen, or take advantage of a range of other
apps that offer thousands of recipes and foodie ideas.

21. Dark web vs Deep web
The dark web forms a small
part of the deep web. It is
heavily encrypted and masks
the ISP of its users. The dark
web frequently attracts criminal
activity, e.g. the sale of
personal data.
The deep web is the part of the
Web not indexed by search
engines, e.g. online banking
pages and medical records.
These pages are often hidden
behind logins and are usually
encrypted.

23. The social consequences of internet use
Dystopian view Utopian view
According to the utopian view, the Internet
provides an overwhelming potential for
the development of liberating communities,
for exponential increase in human and
social capital, and for the achievement of
each individual's full democratic
participation in every policy decision.
According to the dystopian view, the
Internet has had bleak consequences,
and the future trend is more dismal still.
As commercial and technological forces
gain control of the Internet, individual
users are susceptible to misinformation,
deception and hucksters. The Internet
exposes users of all ages to violence,
pornography, and hate messages.
Katz and Rice (2002)
24. On privacy
Those who argue in favour of post-
privacy, stress that individuals as well
as societies would be better-off if
privacy is abandoned: Communication
and empathy among people would be
strengthened, they would be better
informed, and they would share more
information and help each other.
On the other side, defenders of
privacy fear that a post-privacy
society would be totalitarian and
that there would be a dictatorship
of the public and publicity.
Weber 2012
25. The Information Panopticon
The Panopticon Prison
“Information systems that translate, record and display
human behaviour can provide the computer age version of
universal transparency with a degree of illumination that
would have exceeded even Bentham's most outlandish
fantasies. Such systems can become information
panopticons that, freed from the constraints of space and
time, do not depend upon the physical arrangement of
buildings or the laborious record keeping of industrial
administration. They do not require the mutual presence of
objects of observation. They do not even require the
presence of an observer. Information systems can
automatically and continuously record almost anything
their designers want to capture, regardless of the
specific intentions brought to the design process or the
motives that guide data interpretation and utilization.“
Zuboff (1989:322)
26. Dataveillance
"Dataveillance is the systematic
creation and/or use of personal data
for the investigation or monitoring of
the actions or communications of one
or more persons." (Clarke 1987)
Panoptic Sort
"The panoptic sort is the name I have assigned to the complex technology that
involves the collection, processing, and sharing of information about individuals
and groups that is generated through their daily loves as citizens, employees, and
consumers and is used to coordinate and control their access to the goods and
services that define life in the modern capitalist economy." (Gandy 1993:15)
Disinformation
"High-bandwidth interactive networks could be
used in conjunction with other technologies as a
means of surveillance, control, and
disinformation as well as a conduit for useful
information." (Rheingold 1993)
Superpanopticon
"Today's 'circuits of communication' and
the databases the generate constitute a
Superpanopticon, a system of
surveillance without walls, windows,
towers or guards." (Poster 1990)
Electronic Panopticon
"Information technology enabled
surveillance" (Lyon 1994:60)
27. The panopticon effect: monitoring
and data collecting
"Employers can get programs to covertly track keystrokes of staff
working from home to make sure they really are putting in their hours.
Parents can get software to monitor their children’s mobile phone use.
Governments around the world are passing laws so they can collect
internet data on people suspected of planning terror attacks.
Even public transport cards can be used to monitor physical
movements of citizens."
https://ethics.org.au/ethics-explainer-panopticon-what-is-the-panopticon-effect/
28. One way to challenge and
problematize both surveillance
and acquiescence to it is to
resituate these technologies of
control on individuals, offering
panoptic technologies to help
them observe those in authority.
We call this inverse
panopticon “sousveillance”
from the French words for “sous”
(below) and “veiller” to watch.
Mann et al (2003:332)
29. Sousveillance: surveilling the surveillers
Examples include:
• customers photographing shopkeepers;
• taxi passengers photographing cab drivers;
• citizens photographing police officers who
come to their doors;
• civilians photographing government officials;
• residents beaming satellite shots of occupying
troops onto the Internet.
(Mann et al 2003)
30. "Equiveillance, sousveillance, or counterveillance were supposed
to bring power to the people; Google Glasses could have been
another tool for that kind of empowerment. But at the same time,
such technology just democratizes sur-veillance in the sense that
almost everybody will be able to conduct large-scale surveillance."

Weber 2012
32. Invisible algorithmic editing of the web
There's this shift in how
information is flowing online,
and it's invisible...the Internet is
showing us what it thinks we
want to see, but not necessarily
what we need to see.
Eli Pariser 2011
33. Filter bubbles and echo chambers
"Online publishing, social networks, and web
search have dramatically lowered the costs
of producing, distributing, and discovering
news articles. Some scholars argue that
such technological changes increase
exposure to diverse perspectives, while
others worry that they increase ideological
segregation."
Flaxman et al (2016

of data from its users. To give an idea of
exactly how much data that is, the entire
printed collection of the US Library of

So stack 12 of those on top of one another,

45. A multitude of books....Information overload
We have reason to fear that the multitude of books which grows every day in a
prodigious fashion will make the following centuries fall into a state as barbarous
as that of the centuries that followed the fall of the Roman Empire. Unless we try to
prevent this danger by separating those books which we must throw out or leave in
oblivion from those which one should save and within the latter between what is useful
and what is not.

46. The chasm between technology
and corporate culture
Strother et al (2012)
• Technology Reality (What is Possible)
• unlimited accessibility of everyone to
everyone by many communication
channels
• sending messages is easy to do and
perceived practically free of cost (monetary
or other)
• free, asynchronous access to everyone's
attention queues
• queued messaging is available for most
communication modes (email, voice mail)
• work from home technology is 'as good as
being in the office'
• computers allow multitasking and rapid
switching from task to task
• Cultural Paradigm (What is Done)
• everyone is 'expected' by managers,
peers, and self to be available 24 x 7
• we sanction the unlimited sending of
unsolicited messages ('freedom of
speech')
• interruption-driven, unnegotiated task
management replacing plan-driven
methodology
• expectation that message queues be
emptied (including unsolicited messages)
• no clear understanding, much less a policy,
of where to place the work-life barrier
• implicit expectation that all people are
good at multitasking and can switch rapidly
47. Internet Security and Trust
The 2019 CIGI-Ipsos Global Survey, now in its fifth year, is the world’s
largest and most comprehensive survey of internet security and trust,
involving more than 25,000 internet users in over two dozen
countries across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle
East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.
Conducted by Ipsos on behalf of the Centre for International
Governance Innovation (CIGI), in partnership with the Internet Society
(ISOC) and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
(UNCTAD)
The survey provides invaluable insight into the views of internet users
on a wide range of topics — from online privacy, social media and fake
news to blockchain, cryptocurrencies and the Dark Web.

The most common reasons for a lack of confidence in the unbiasedness of
algorithms were a lack of transparency, a perception that they are exploitative
by design and the absence of a human element from decision-making.
By contrast, objectivity, a lack of human emotion to cloud decision-making
and the absence of human influence were most frequently mentioned by
those who expressed confidence in the unbiasedness of algorithms.
53. We need to remind ourselves that social
media is based on a model of providing a
'free service' in exchange for advertising.
As technology advances, the collection and
analysis of user data is providing
increasingly more personalised targeted
adverts. A double edged sword...
55. Push for change
"Recent headline news regarding business
email compromise ($123M extracted from
Facebook and Google), large breaches (383
million records from Marriott) and questionable
handling of users’ data (series of revelations
regarding Facebook), as well as the
commencement of the EU’s General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), reinforce the
need for organizations to embrace best
practices in all areas – email security, site
security and privacy practices."

their impact on privacy
57. Buttararelli, G. (2015)
Big data, big data protection:
challenges and innovative
solutions.
We’ve seen a lot of headlines devoted to
the ‘right to be forgotten’. But in fact, in its
judgment on Google Spain in May last
year, the European Court of Justice did not
invent a new right. It rather confirmed that
if you process personal data (and, it ruled,
search engines certainly do process and
make decisions on processing personal
data) then you have a responsibility to treat
those data in a way that respects the rights
and interests of the individual. Part of that
responsibility is enabling the individual to
challenge what you do with the information
which relates to him or her.
58. Right to be Forgotten
In May 2014, the European Court Of Justice ruled that
EU citizens have a ‘Right To Be Forgotten
Google must delete "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" data
from its results when a member of the public requests it.
The test case privacy ruling by the European Union's court of justice
against Google Spain was brought by a Spanish man, Mario Costeja
González, after he failed to secure the deletion of an auction notice of
his repossessed home dating from 1998 on the website of a mass
circulation newspaper in Catalonia.

currently investigating 30 organisations, including Facebook.
One part of this investigation is looking at how data was collected
from a third party app on Facebook called “thisisyourdigitallife”
and shared with an organisation called Cambridge Analytica.
Facebook recently confirmed that information relating to up to 87
million people was captured by the app, with approximately 1 million
of these people being UK citizens.
On Monday 9 April 2018 Facebook notified all those whose details
were involved, via a message on their Facebook Newsfeed.

70. Your Data Matters
We live in a data-driven world. Almost every transaction and
interaction you have with most organisations involves you
sharing personal data, such as your name, address and birth
date. You share data online too, every time you visit a
website, search for or buy something, use social media or
send an email.
Sharing data helps makes life easier, more convenient and
connected. But your data is your data. It belongs to you so it's
important your data is used only in ways you would reasonably
expect, and that it stays safe. Data protection law makes sure
everyone’s data is used properly and legally.

71. How to take control of your personal
information on social media platforms
The privacy and advertising settings on social
media apps and websites should give you control
over how your personal information is used.
We [ICO] always advise those who use social
media to check their privacy and advertising
settings before using a particular service and to
review them regularly, particularly after any new
settings are introduced.

75. Article 17 - Right to Erasure
• The GDPR introduces a right for individuals to have personal
data erased.
• The right to erasure is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’.
• Individuals can make a request for erasure verbally or in writing.
• You have one month to respond to a request.
• The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.
• This right is not the only way in which the GDPR places an
obligation on you to consider whether to delete personal data.

80. What are the implications for education?
The biggest change is that institutions will be held
far more accountable for the data they hold. As
well as records of what personal data exist within
the organisation, the GDPR requires a
documented understanding of:
• why information is held,
• how it is collected,
• when it will be deleted or anonymised,
• and who may gain access to it.

84. Social is a behaviour, not a channel
Most people visit social networking sites to connect with others: to
stay in touch with friends and family; to share things with
colleagues and peers; and even to meet strangers with similar
interests and needs.
There are times when technology plays an important part in
facilitating these connections; the filters on Instagram, or the
sharing features common to most social networks, are important
parts of the social networking experience.
However, for most people, social media are just means to an end,
with that ‘end’ being social interaction.

87. #ScientistsWhoSelfie – How sharing
selfies can build trust in science
Selfies – don’t just capture an in-the-moment experience.
For scientists, taking and sharing selfies has the potential
to dissolve stereotypes.
One stereotype in particular that plagues scientists, is
that of the ‘mad scientist’, a caricature of Albert Einstein
– an old, white, man in a lab coat, intelligent, but also
awkward, aloof, alone. This stereotype may seem
innocuous, but it can also be harmful, as it sets scientists
and science apart from society, limiting both public
understanding and trust in science.

Individuals develop a sense of belonging

that welcomes them, a community that
respects and represents their values, and a

102. Toxic Twitter
"Being harassed online can be upsetting and
frightening, and online harassment can amount to a
criminal offence. Far too many people, from public
figures to schoolchildren, have experienced this kind
of behaviour. A poll conducted for Amnesty
International found that 21% of the women surveyed
in the UK (504 women) had experienced online
harassment or abuse, with 17% having experienced
this on social media."

Twitter. Available at: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/research/2018/03/online-violence-against-
women-chapter-3/

106. Social-media addiction is getting worse
The Economist 2019
“FACEBOOK users in
America spend about
42 minutes a day on
the social-media
platform, according to
eMarketer.”
“If Josh Hawley has his way, this figure will be capped at 30 minutes.
On July 30th the junior senator from Missouri unveiled the
Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology Act, or SMART Act. ”
107. On July 30th the junior senator Josh Hawley from Missouri unveiled the
“Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology
Act”, or SMART Act.
https://www.hawley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/2019-07/Social-Media-Addiction-Reduction-Technology-Act.pdf
108. Beginning 3 months after the date of enactment of this Act, it shall be
unlawful for a social media company to operate a social media platform that
uses any of the following practices:
(1) INFINITE SCROLL OR AUTO REFILL
(2) ELIMINATION OF NATURAL STOPPING
(3) AUTOPLAY
(4) BADGES AND OTHER AWARDS LINKED TO ENGAGEMENT WITH
THE PLATFORM
The SMART Act
109. In short…
The SMART Act would:
• remove the auto play feature from YouTube
• end infinite scrolling on Twitter and Facebook feeds
• limit scrolling time to three-minute sessions
• set default limits on the use of platforms to 30 minutes a day
• outlaw Snapchat streaks (rewards for consecutive days of
contact with friends) and most “gamification” (badges,
rewards) for any online service.
• displays a conspicuous pop-up to a user not less than once
every 30 minutes that the user spends on those platforms,
regardless of whether the user spent the 30 minutes on
multiple devices, that shows how much time the user has
spent on those platforms that day.
110. However sadly not email…
(b) LIMITATION.—Subsection (a) shall not
apply to any portion of a social media
platform that consists only of a
predominantly text-based, direct message
service such as email or a service that is
substantially similar to email.
111. The infinite scroll and red alerts
Social media companies are
deliberately addicting users to their
products for financial gain, Silicon
Valley insiders have told the BBC's
Panorama programme.
"Behind every screen on your phone,
there are generally like literally a
thousand engineers that have
worked on this thing to try to make it
maximally addicting" he added.

129. Snapchat is a multimedia messaging app. One of the principal features of Snapchat is
that pictures and messages are usually only available for a short time before they become
inaccessible to their recipients, unless you use the Group chat function and photos from
your camera roll rather than through the app.
Using Snapchat as a tutorial tool
Suzanne Faulkner @SFaulknerPandO
• Snapchat is where your students ‘are’, meet them there!
• Your students can see when you are available to Snap.
• Instant communication with your whole tutorial group at once.
• Your students can support each other, under your supervision.
130. Using Snapchat as a tutorial tool
Suzanne Faulkner @SFaulknerPandO
“It’s a lot less formal so can
ask a question and have a
conversation about
something without a well
planned out question and
having to structure it all.”
“You don’t just see your
questions, you see
everyone’s and sometimes
it’s things you didn’t think
about before.”
“I find it to be less formal, and
more comfortable to ask
multiple questions compared
to e-mails. ”
“Snapchat tutorial is good
because I actually enjoy
reading the info, and I can
absorb key information on the
go, without feeling as though I
have to sit down and study.”
“Because of a quick
response, it gives the
impression of a conversation
and can get a better rapport
with both lecturer and class
mates.”

144. A word of caution
Although using social media, particularly twitter, can be a great way to
amplify and disseminate your blog posts, it’s important to be aware that
social media can be a hostile environment, particularly for women,
people of colour and marginalised groups, who may experience
targeted harassment. You should never feel obliged to engage with
social media, particularly if you feel unsafe or attacked. Your online
safety is of paramount importance.
