Wikis are websites that allow collaborative knowledge creation through editing tools. They document each change and user contribution through versioning and history tools. Wikis are designed to enable collaborative document writing, joint construction of knowledge, and constant revision across locations. They can be used to create event plans, brainstorms, lists, portfolios, guides, resources, glossaries, manuals, knowledge repositories, and databases. Wikis benefit education by providing simple editing tools that allow immediate collaboration and tracking of ideas through version history. They can be used for course wikis organized by student, topic, or weekly content, as well as group projects, databases, and housing policies and procedures.
This document discusses considerations for developing an online learning environment for WAGGGS, an international organization with over 10 million members across 145 countries. It aims to create a "glocal" learning environment that brings people together globally but feels local. A consideration analysis identified key issues like navigating different cultures, languages, creating e-learning materials, technological availability, and adapting face-to-face approaches for an online format. The analysis informs the development of an e-learning approach to facilitate broader, more inclusive learning across WAGGGS' global membership.
Personal learning environments (PLEs) allow learners to take control of and manage their own learning by setting goals, managing content and processes, and communicating with others. A PLE can include various tools like desktop and web-based applications that integrate formal and informal learning. It recognizes how today's learners learn and prepares them for the global economy.

The Rocky Mountains have extreme environmental conditions including rapidly changing temperatures, potential for snow year-round, and high winds. Humans can only cope for around 21 hours at high altitudes due to effects on body systems from elevations above 12,000 feet, requiring adaptations like increased red blood cells and changes to cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Proper clothing layers, equipment like ice axes and crampons, and outfitter-provided ropes are needed to endure summit conditions in the Rocky Mountains.
The document discusses strategies for creating new market space. It provides examples of companies that pursued value innovation by looking across conventional boundaries, such as substitute industries, strategic groups, chains of buyers, and complementary products/services. Examples include Southwest Airlines creating a new low-cost airline category, SF Bio expanding into internet movie rentals, and Polo Ralph Lauren building a brand between two fashion categories. The document advocates considering trends over time to create future demand, as Cisco did with internet traffic and Facebook with social networking.
The document discusses the environmental conditions and limits humans can endure in the Amazon Rainforest. It receives 50-260 inches of rain annually with temperatures between 69-93 degrees F and 77-88% humidity. Indigenous people have adapted to live there but others are affected by the extreme heat and humidity, which can impact the nervous, respiratory and integumentary systems. Proper clothing like long sleeves, pants and rain gear along with equipment like boots, repellent and dry bags are required for humans to cope in the Amazon Rainforest.

MOOCs provide higher education to unlimited participants worldwide through online courses on platforms like Coursera. Coursera has over 11.8 million students enrolled from around the world in courses taught in multiple languages. Indian institutions like IITs have also started offering MOOCs. While MOOCs increase access to quality education, they lack face-to-face interaction and personal guidance. Governments must address issues of reliable Internet access and validate completion certificates to maximize the benefits of MOOCs.
Modernizing Education discusses the need to evolve schools and teaching for the 21st century. Technology is changing how people access and share information. To better prepare students, schools need strategic plans to incorporate new literacies, personalized learning, mobile technologies, and global collaboration into instruction. Effective models emphasize project-based learning, use of online tools, and developing skills like critical thinking across networks.
This document summarizes a workshop on digital literacies presented by Fiona Harvey and Lisa Harris. It discusses the changing nature of skills needed for careers and education in the digital age.

Design is the New Black - How to integrate thoughtful learning design in soci...Stella Lee
This document discusses integrating learning design into social media for higher education. It begins by outlining trends in social media usage in Canada, noting high rates of participation. This raises implications for marketing, teaching and learning, professional development, and research in higher education. The document then discusses balancing user experience and learner experience in design. It proposes five principles for learning design in social media: balancing user and learner experience; ensuring scalability and evolvability; allowing for both producers and spectators; enabling multiple ways to share and connect; and incorporating an "undo" function. Finally, it discusses the importance of digital literacy skills like attention, participation, critical consumption, collaboration, and network awareness.
The document discusses how open government can lead to positive results. It presents principles for open government success, including defining openness as accessibility to knowledge and fulfillment. Co-creation and connection are key, achieved through collaborative technology that leverages social media and web 2.0 to engage citizens. A 3-step approach is proposed: start conversations, run citizen-centric pilots, and use web technologies. Benefits include innovation, efficiency, collective wisdom, and public participation. Pitfalls to avoid are exclusivity, lack of goals, and inflexibility. The vision presented is for Singapore to become a world-class example of open government.
Paulding County was discussing next generation learning and how to meet the needs of all learners. Technology plays a key role in transforming teaching and learning by helping make information more accessible, collaborative and personalized. Skills like problem solving, communication and creativity are becoming more important for career and college readiness as information grows exponentially and jobs of the future require lifelong learning and adaptation to change.
Digital literacy includes visual, electronic, and digital forms of expression and communication. It requires a lifelong commitment to remain literate as technology and culture change. Digital literacy provides benefits like higher performance with digital tasks, greater involvement with others, and more opportunities to participate and express opinions. However, there is no single definition of literacy that applies to all people and remains static over time. Constant updating of concepts and skills is needed to stay literate in the evolving information environment.

What Is Social Learning Sandeep Rathod4 Wud2011UExS
Social learning refers to informal learning that occurs outside of formal training settings through communities sharing common interests. It typically involves sharing information through activities like rating, commenting, blogging, and collective authoring. Companies are increasingly recognizing social learning as a major component of employee learning and are looking to enhance these informal knowledge sharing activities.
Some key benefits of social learning strategies include promoting collaboration, breaking down communication barriers, enabling expertise sharing, and enhancing knowledge transfer throughout an organization. New technologies now allow achieving many social learning benefits through online environments. Younger learners expect to utilize technology and social networking in their learning. User experience design must consider how social media supports different learning styles and facilitates socially situated learning.
Digital Connectedness: Taking Ownership of Your Professional Online Presence Sue Beckingham
Developing pathways to connectedness essentially commences with family and friends, but over time new connections outside of these circles begin to form ever increasing and interlinking circles. These informal and formal networks have the potential to help you unlock new doors to new opportunities. Social media can without doubt provide excellent communication channels and a space to develop your network of connections. Nonetheless as your online presence expands it leaves behind both digital footprints and digital shadows; and this needs to be given due consideration. This keynote will look at the value of developing a professional online presence and why as future graduates you need to take ownership of this.

Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
