DIGITAL CULTURE AND THE FUTURE OF SCHOLARSHIP IN THE HUMANITIES-2022-FINAL-LA...JOHN Henry Chukwudi
Digital technologies now permeate all aspects of culture and scholarship in the humanities. Digital humanities explores how digital tools can enhance research by analyzing large datasets and presenting information in novel ways. As digital culture evolves, technology is transforming how cultural heritage is created, shared, and preserved. Scholars are exploring how to establish digital research environments and use tools like 3D modeling, digitization, and visualization to process and disseminate cultural resources. This supports efforts to sustain cultural traditions and make heritage materials globally accessible.
The importance of creating relevant material to develop information literacy Sheila Webber
The document discusses issues around misinformation and the need for trustworthy information. It outlines four key issues - the problems of misinformation, the need for relevant and trustworthy information, language barriers, and the need for solutions. Some potential solutions discussed include education initiatives, fact-checking, and empowering users to identify credible information. The creation of multilingual resources that provide information in clear language is important to effectively address misinformation issues.

This document analyzes online cultural participation in Italy across generations. It finds that younger generations, like Generation Y, more regularly use the internet and engage in a wide range of online cultural activities. Older generations, like Baby Boomers, are more likely to be "digitally disengaged". While digital technologies provide more opportunities for cultural participation, they also risk reproducing existing inequalities between those who are engaged with technology versus those who are not. Education plays a role in enabling greater online cultural engagement. Overall, online cultural participation in Italy remains polarized between engaged versus disengaged groups.
This document discusses the importance of media and digital literacy education for students. It defines key terms like media literacy and outlines areas of digital competence according to frameworks like DIGICOMPEDU. Research questions are posed around students' understanding and evaluation of fake news and dubious online content. Approaches proposed to tackle fake news in education include training students, new degree programs, workshops and integrating the topic into course curricula. Next steps discussed are establishing an academic observatory on fake news, open educational resources, and partnering with other stakeholders to improve digital literacy and reduce divides in skills and empowerment.
European perspectives on design for learning in the 21 centuryTeemu Leinonen
Keynote at the National Conference about flexible learning, 15-17 July Wrest Point Conference Centre, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia / Australasian Association of Distance Education Schools.
In this address, Professor Leinonen will discuss ‘meta-design’, which means design of ‘things’ for educators to design their own teaching and for learners to design their own learning. He will also present a generic Finnish / Northern European perspective on ICT in education, which he and his colleagues aim to make a pan-European model through a project entitled Innovative Technologies for an Engaging Classroom (iTEC). iTEC is a four-year, large-scale project that takes an informed look the potential classrooms of the future. With 27 project partners, including 14 Ministries of Education and funding from the European Commission of 9.45 million Euros, iTEC will provide a model describing how the deployment of technology in support of innovative teaching and learning activities can move beyond small scale pilots and become embedded in all Europe's schools. iTEC is being piloted in over 1,000 classrooms in 12 countries, making it by the most significant pan-European validation of ICT in schools yet undertaken.
This document discusses how digital inclusion relates to cultural heritage and social justice. It presents a case study of MonmouthpediA, a project that used Wikipedia to document places, people, and things in Monmouth, Wales to promote cultural heritage. The project had success in increasing digital inclusion and international recognition. The author advocates for digital community curation tools to further engage communities and address digital exclusion through celebrating local culture and stories.

Social media as a tool for learning and teaching. Potential and current threatsStefania Manca
Social media has the potential to widen learning contexts by mixing information and learning resources from hybridized experts and professional learning networks. However, it also faces threats from both digital optimism and cyber-pessimism. Developing social media literacies in technology, cognitive skills, social skills, and ethics can help users benefit from social media while protecting their privacy and behaving respectfully. Data literacy in particular may help protect individuals from manipulation and support democratic processes.

This document provides an overview of digital culture and introduces the book "Digital Culture: The Changing Dynamics". It discusses how digital trends are intersecting with culture and the arts. The book examines how new technologies are challenging traditional understandings of culture and extending it into the digital realm. It also analyzes shifts in cultural diversity and communication driven by technologies, and how cultural policies are addressing digital culture. The book aims to provide insight into these interrelated topics and discuss whether we can talk about cultural diversity in the digital domain.
Technology and Culture in the Classroom SettingJeanette Howe
The document discusses a classroom activity where students use digital technologies to research and create cultural biographies, presenting them in a "Living History Museum." Students collaborate online to share ideas and research for their biographies. They also create an interactive game to teach classmates about the cultures. The activity emphasizes the cultures of the New World, Revolution, and New Republic time periods and was created by university students in collaboration with avatars in an online virtual world.
The Recurated Museum: V. Collections Communication & StorytellingChristopher Morse
Slides from the fifth session of the course "The Recurated Museum" by Sytze Van Herck & Christopher Morse at the University of Luxembourg (Summer Semester, 2020).
Course slides typically begin with a brief summary of the online discussions that occurred before the session.
The document discusses several topics related to media literacy for digital generations including:
1. Aldous Huxley's 1932 vision of a society with genetic engineering to make people passive and useful to rulers is discussed in relation to learning at large corporations like Nokia.
2. Global markets allow expertise to be exported anywhere and experts recruited globally, changing how distributed work and continuous learning are managed with e-solutions.
3. Current trends in media literacy in Europe include a unity in diversity with three perspectives: European, UN, and communication/education.
4. The evolution of digital literacy in Europe involved three phases: access/connectivity, basic internet use, and now critical thinking in multiplatform use and community building
n estos momentos, compartir recursos es igual de importante que compartir conocimiento. Juntos visitaremos espacios públicos auto-organizados centros feministas, estudios de arquitectura o grupos de investigación que tratan de la educación decolonial. Conectando lo personal y lo social, necesitamos otro análisis de las relaciones entre la esfera pública y el ámbito doméstico y personal. Emerge entonces un nuevo espacio de lo colectivo basado en la apertura, la distribución en red de las prácticas domésticas en la ciudad generando nuevos ámbitos o campos de lo público
Nowadays sharing resources matters just as much as sharing knowledge. Together we will visit self-initiated public spaces, feminist centres, architectural studios, exhibitions, and groups dealing with decolonizing education. Connecting the personal and the social, a different analysis of the relations between the public sphere and the domestic space is needed. There is an emergent new collective realm based on networks opening and distributing domestic practices within the city.
This document discusses the opportunities and challenges of using digital technologies in cultural heritage. It notes that digitization, digital preservation, and digital transformation allow greater access to and engagement with cultural assets. However, challenges include unequal digital skills among organizations, lack of resources, and privacy/regulation issues. The COVID-19 pandemic increased reliance on digital but also widened skills gaps. Emerging areas include phygital approaches that blend online and offline experiences and digital transformation of business models.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on reframing information literacy as metaliteracy. It discusses the changing information environment and rise of online learning. Metaliteracy is presented as a framework that promotes critical thinking and collaboration in digital spaces. It emphasizes metacognition and the ability to critically evaluate one's own skills. The document outlines several metaliteracy objectives like understanding different content formats and privacy issues. Examples are given of how metaliteracy can be practiced, including a student project and potential badging system. Overall, the presentation argues that metaliteracy provides a more comprehensive approach for engaging with information in today's online world.

Social Media and Nationalism: Evolving Concepts - Anastas Vangeli @ Glocal: I...NewMediaMK
This document outlines a presentation on nationalism and social media. It discusses how social media has extended and advanced concepts of nationalism in several ways. Nationalist groups now use social media for propaganda and mobilization without needing leaders or budgets. Surveys showed most people encounter nationalist content on social media and some nationalist groups have tens of thousands of Facebook users. While social media allows for more decentralized forms of nationalism, content analysis was lacking. The conclusion is that nationalism still exists in modern societies and social media enables a new form of nationalism.

Affrontare la distorsione della Shoah sui social media. Indicazioni per musei...Stefania Manca
Abusi, scuse, travisamenti e manipolazioni della storia della Shoah si possono riscontrare a tutti i livelli della società. Si tratta di un fenomeno tutt’altro che marginale: se ne possono trovare esempi nei governi che cercano di minimizzare la loro responsabilità storica, nei teorici della cospirazione che accusano gli ebrei di esagerare le loro sofferenze a scopo di lucro e negli utenti online che fanno uso di immagini e linguaggio associati alla Shoah per scopi politici, ideologici o commerciali che non hanno legami con la sua storia. Indipendentemente dalla sua forma, la distorsione della Shoah e i suoi potenziali effetti diretti o indiretti – antisemitismo, negazione della Shoah, miti cospirativi e nazionalismo estremo – hanno una dimensione e una rilevanza internazionale e pertanto richiedono una risposta internazionale. Per quanto riguarda i social media, se da un lato la loro ascesa ha permesso a individui e gruppi di connettersi a livello globale e di avere accesso istantaneo a informazioni e conoscenze, dall’altro hanno consentito l’esponenziale diffusione e la divulgazione di contenuti carichi d’odio, tra cui l’antisemitismo e la negazione e distorsione della Shoah.
A differenza della negazione della Shoah, cioè il tentativo di cancellare la Shoah dalla storia, la distorsione della Shoah giustifica, minimizza o travisa la Shoah in una varietà di modi utilizzando vari mezzi di comunicazione non sempre facilmente identificabili. Mentre vi è un ampio consenso sul fatto che la negazione della Shoah sia alimentata dall’antisemitismo, la distorsione della Shoah è considerata una forma di antisemitismo secondario o una manipolazione della storia della Shoah e della sua memoria per vari scopi. Sebbene la narrazione storica irresponsabile e abusiva possa riguardare qualsiasi evento storico, oggi il numero di mutazioni e distorsioni della storia della Shoah sta crescendo e sta progressivamente assumendo diverse forme dilaganti. Poiché non esistono misure uniche e generali contro tutte le forme di distorsione, dovranno essere attuate diverse azioni specifiche a seconda del contesto geografico o sociale.
Questo seminario si rivolge agli operatori dei musei, memoriali e archivi, ecc., impegnati in istituzioni culturali dedicati alla conoscenza e alla memoria della Shoah, con l’obiettivo di fornire indicazioni di medio e lungo periodo per combattere le forme di abuso e distorsione della Shoah sui social media.

L’incontro permette un confronto sulle difficoltà e sui quesiti che queste tematiche pongono al mondo dell’informazione e della comunicazione.
Questo seminario si rivolge agli operatori dell’informazione e mira a diffondere le conoscenze più recenti sul tema della rappresentazione distorta della Shoah, con particolare riguardo per le forme distorsive e di abuso rintracciabili sui social media.
Affrontare la distorsione della Shoah sui social media. Indicazioni per gli i...Stefania Manca
Abusi, scuse, travisamenti e manipolazioni della storia della Shoah si possono riscontrare a tutti i livelli della società. Si tratta di un fenomeno tutt'altro che marginale: se ne possono trovare esempi nei governi che cercano di minimizzare la loro responsabilità storica, nei teorici della cospirazione che accusano gli ebrei di esagerare le loro sofferenze a scopo di lucro e negli utenti online che fanno uso di immagini e linguaggio associati alla Shoah per scopi politici, ideologici o commerciali che non hanno legami con la sua storia. Indipendentemente dalla sua forma, la distorsione della Shoah e i suoi potenziali effetti diretti o indiretti - antisemitismo, negazione della Shoah, miti cospirativi e nazionalismo estremo - hanno una dimensione e una rilevanza internazionale e pertanto richiedono una risposta internazionale. Per quanto riguarda i social media, se da un lato la loro ascesa ha permesso a individui e gruppi di connettersi a livello globale e di avere accesso istantaneo a informazioni e conoscenze, dall'altro hanno consentito l’esponenziale diffusione e la divulgazione di contenuti carichi d’odio, tra cui l'antisemitismo e la negazione e distorsione della Shoah.
A differenza della negazione della Shoah, cioè il tentativo di cancellare la Shoah dalla storia, la distorsione della Shoah giustifica, minimizza o travisa la Shoah in una varietà di modi utilizzando vari mezzi di comunicazione non sempre facilmente identificabili. Mentre vi è un ampio consenso sul fatto che la negazione della Shoah sia alimentata dall'antisemitismo, la distorsione della Shoah è considerata una forma di antisemitismo secondario o una manipolazione della storia della Shoah e della sua memoria per vari scopi. Sebbene la narrazione storica irresponsabile e abusiva possa riguardare qualsiasi evento storico, oggi il numero di mutazioni e distorsioni della storia della Shoah sta crescendo e sta progressivamente assumendo diverse forme dilaganti. Poiché non esistono misure uniche e generali contro tutte le forme di distorsione, dovranno essere attuate diverse azioni specifiche a seconda del contesto geografico o sociale.
Questo seminario si rivolge agli insegnanti di ogni ordine e grado e mira a diffondere le conoscenze più recenti sull’argomento, oltre a fornire indicazioni pratiche per supportare gli studenti nel loro percorso di apprendimento e riflessione critica sulla storia e memoria della Shoah.
Exploring the geographies of academic social network sites from a socio-techn...Stefania Manca
The document summarizes a study that mapped Spanish-language research on the use of Academic social network sites (ASNS) ResearchGate and Academia.edu. The study found 12 papers focused on Ibero-American researchers' presence on these sites. Most studies had small sample sizes and explored usage but not motivations for low presence. Few papers analyzed how ASNS support becoming networked scholars. The study concludes that more research is needed on motivations, technological affordances, and developing identities as digital scholars through ASNS in Ibero-American contexts.
Social network sites in secondary school: when students and teachers express ...Stefania Manca
This document discusses a study on students' and teachers' views of using social network sites (SNS) in secondary schools. 500 students and 353 teachers participated. Both saw benefits like collaboration, but teachers were more positive about educational use while over half of students saw SNS as non-educational. Teachers saw SNS as productive tools, while students saw them as social spaces. Limitations included a non-probability sample and lack of questionnaire validation. Overall, more work is needed to better integrate SNS into teaching and learning.
Social Network Site Use by Persons with Disabilities: Results from an Italian...Stefania Manca
This study investigated how disabled people in Italy use social network sites. A survey found that Facebook was the most popular and frequently used site. Respondents reported using social media daily to keep in touch with friends, both disabled and non-disabled. They engaged more with non-disabled contacts, but social media also allowed them to learn about disability events. Major barriers to social media use included accessibility issues and problems navigating sites or viewing full content. The study provided initial insights into how disabled Italians utilize social networks, but had limitations due to its recruitment methods.
Social Media and Facebook for learning: methodological aspects and main resul...Stefania Manca
The document summarizes two research studies conducted by Stefania Manca on the use of social media and Facebook for learning. The first study was a literature review that found Facebook has been used mainly as a learning management system rather than fully utilizing its affordances to blend information sources. Barriers included institutional policies and traditional pedagogies. The second study surveyed Italian academics and found they use social media more for personal and professional purposes rather than teaching. Use varied by discipline, and barriers included cultural, pedagogical, and institutional factors. Overall, the studies show potential but also limitations in social media integration in education due to various obstacles.
Facebook and Social Media in education and teacher trainingStefania Manca
This document summarizes three presentations on the topic of Facebook and social media in education. The first presentation reviews literature on using Facebook as a technology-enhanced learning environment and finds that while its pedagogical potential is recognized, obstacles like policies and culture have prevented full adoption. The second presentation reports on a study of social media use in higher education, finding it is more common for personal/professional use than teaching and barriers include cultural and institutional factors. The third presentation examines five Italian Facebook groups for teachers and finds generic groups foster loose connections while thematic groups support close ties, with both having advantages and drawbacks for professional development.
Social media in higher education. How Italian academic scholars are using or ...Stefania Manca
This study surveyed over 6,000 Italian academics about their personal, teaching, and professional use of social media. It found that 89% use at least one social media tool personally, but only 36% use any tools for teaching. Facebook and YouTube were the most commonly used personally and professionally, while academics were more skeptical of social media's educational potential. There are also cultural and institutional barriers to adopting social media for teaching. Overall the study revealed both positive views of social media's benefits as well as deep skepticism and resistance to its use in higher education.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
