The document discusses a study conducted by Future Classroom Labs in Finland on monitoring environmental conditions like sound pressure and carbon dioxide levels in classrooms. Sensors were used to collect data on these measures from both open and traditional classrooms. Results showed that while sound pressure levels were similar, the open classroom maintained lower and steadier carbon dioxide levels compared to the traditional classroom where levels peaked higher. The labs are working to commercialize affordable sensor solutions for schools to monitor indoor air quality and volume. Contact information is provided for the two Future Classroom Labs in Tampere and Joensuu.

John Lester

The Educational Robotics for STEM project, funded by the European Commission, aims to develop a continuous framework for the design of educational robotics activities for all children aged 7-18, both in and out-of-school, regardless of current interest in STEM subjects. In this presentation we explore the development of virtual robots (SLurtles) and the virtual environment in which children will explore, test and extend their understanding of mathematics and programming, through collaborative, constructionist learning activities. The research aims to explore the potential of virtual worlds for providing an alternative robotics experience for children by examining the creations, collaboration and learning that goes on in both the physical and virtual learning environments. This presentation was given at the 2016 Opensim Community Conference.

DataScienceConferenc1

A business intelligence (BI) toolkit is based on natural language processing (NLP) methods for the domain of arts and culture. The main NLP methods in the underlying pipeline are keyword extraction, multi-label text classification, and identification of potential social impacts of cultural policies and practices, all trained on texts from open-access academic publications. The toolkit is a geo-referenced visualization tool for analyzing impact on social value creation in the areas of health and well-being, urban regeneration, and social cohesion, and enables semantic search for content in the domain of arts and culture. Therefore, the presented research can serve as a prototype for measuring societal value by identifying recurrent pathways of transformational processes in society that extend beyond the selected domain.

African Open Science Platform

This document discusses the Sci-GaIA project's approach to conjugating open science and open education through e-research hackfests. The project has developed an open science platform containing an open access repository and courseware system. It has also implemented several hackfests using a model where participants work to integrate use cases using open technologies over several days. These hackfests have helped promote open science, train champions, and develop systems like Ethiopia's open access repository and MOOC platform. The hackfest model provides an innovative way to foster open science and education through problem-solving and hands-on learning.
