ICT provides the opportunity to develop both technical and creative skills through studying how information is transferred and presented using technology. Over two years, students explore practical problem solving and the digital world, as well as the use of ICT in organizations and practical project implementation. Assessment includes exams on yearly themes and a final practical project. ICT careers range from technical roles in data transfer to user interface design, depending on individual strengths and interests.
You know technology is truly functional when you don't need to get off the sofa, be that to change channels, make a call, order your daily bread or even earn your daily bread, and it looks like we're finally getting there. A keen chronicler of the changing times since he got his first programmable calculator in 1978, Philip Anthony, head of Co-Operative Systems, talks about his personal journey, daily battles with technology and where we might be headed. Often the results of applying technology are not as anticipated ...

Today, many obstacles exist in traditional mechanisms for content licensing, commonly resulting in under-utilization of content or copyright piracy. For example, it can be very difficult to locate the appropriate rights holders, or there are often prohibitively high transaction costs involved in getting permission to use content. Used since Spring 2011 at Stanford for print course materials and extended in Spring 2012 quarter to online course materials, the Stanford Intellectual Property Exchange (SIPX) now creates a user-friendly way of clearing rights for both print and online course materials. Personalized course readers have been produced using PrintGroove by Konica Minolta. The SIPX system will be available for all Stanford courses in Fall 2012. mediax.stanford.edu

Citizens in a Knowledge Society: rethinking education from scratch. Part 4: N...Ismael Peña-López
Conference for the "Quality standards in ICT education" workshop within the EU Project "Click to Europe" (Part 4). More information: http://ictlogy.net/?p=3731
Presentation from Wednesday 2/17/2009 for Google and AIIM.
Webinar Description: Collaboration – it's all the rage, and to some it is "new." Yet for any project, whether it is assembling a sales proposal in response to a Request For Proposals (RFP), to the collaboration and coordination necessary to build an aircraft carrier, or any size or style of collaboration in between, there are several questions to consider when it comes to modern day collaboration, what many are calling Enterprise 2.0, or for those with a longer history in business collaboration, Knowledge Management 2.0.
Do you believe that your organization has pulled together a suitably versatile and agile collaboration toolkit?
Are your collaboration tools built for distributed teams, or for localized teams?
Are the tools involved well-integrated into the flow of collaborative work (search, research, document, refine, revise, publish, re-use, etc.), or do you as a user of the toolkit have to remember what tool or application to use at various stages within the context of collaboration?
While management may say that "we need more collaboration," are you measured based on collaborative contributions, or in the end are you actually penalized for team contributions if it gets in the way of your individual work and personal performance measures?
Join us for a discussion on the current and future state of collaboration – and what it takes to ensure that your culture, skills, and technical tools are up to the task of real-time, flexible online collaboration. Not all collaboration efforts or outcomes are the same – make sure you are setting yourself up to succeed.

The nature of the knowledge work problem is growing faster than the capabilities of effective solutions for it. A few of the key problems faced by businesses over the next decade will involve the social contracts with their employees and partners as the adaptability and flexibility enabled by technology become requirements, not opportunities. How do businesses capture the critical tacit knowledge of their older employees as they retire? How do businesses enable new employees to be productive in different ways with new technologies and the skills that come with them? Much of what we know about today will not be relevant in 10 years.
In this presentation, Mark Bernstein shares research done on the Knowledge Work 2020 topic in a collaboration between PARC and Xerox Innovation Group researchers (in Canada, France, and New York). Findings point to more intelligent systems operating on information supporting humans engaged in complex tasks that require knowledge to make decisions; more use of collaborative and social technologies to mediate the time and space problem of distributed and even asynchronous work around the globe; and much more networked computation operating in the world at large.
Keeping your career secure presentation august 2013Fernando Herrera

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
