The document discusses the disconnect between learning and education. It notes that the largest providers of training and education in the world are Google, YouTube, and Wikipedia, as they facilitate vast amounts of learning online. However, these platforms were not designed specifically for education. The document suggests steps the formal education sector could take to better leverage these online learning resources, such as providing wireless internet access, engaging with social media, and using open source software and standards.
New and emergent technologies hold exciting possibilities to address diverse learner needs. This presentation aims at inspiring educators to explore online tools that empower learners to actively work on their language output. Through user-generated production examples, participants will re-envision the use of the Internet to personalize the EFL e-learning experience.

These are the slides for the keynote I shared at the LinkedIn User Experience Design All Hands meeting on July 11, 2014. The "story" here is my own life, looking at how my risk-taking and use of social media have empowered me to find an authentic life. Is this a lesson to learn from as we ponder the relevance gap between formal and information learning in the U.S. today? As social becomes more integral to the workplace, can/should educators embrace social technologies to foster more authentic living in their students' lives?

Leading Schools with Digital Vision (Memphis Sept 2010)Wesley Fryer
This presentation was shared at the opening keynote at the Martin Institute's Fall 2010 conference in Memphis, Tennessee. Much of the world has gone digital, so must learning at school. Creativity is vital, and good leadership matters. Stagnant, accomodation-level technology integration makes technology investments in our schools a waste of money. School leaders can and should encourage teachers to use digital learning tools in transformative ways to open new doors of opportunity for students as well as parents. By focusing on creating, communicating / sharing, and collaborating, principals can help develop a shared instructional vocabularly with teachers which is focused on student engagement. Without creation, there can be no creativity. How will you let your students create? How will you give students choices? How will your students teach the curriculum? These are essential questions to ask together with teachers, as we seek to effectively (and legally) "talk with media / pictures" and leverage the constructive power of digital media tools for learning inside and outside the classroom.

The organisers of eLearning Korea 2017 have invited me to give a talk on the future of education and educational technology. The conference has a curious byline “a happy encounter with new technology”, and it's to this byline I target the presentation.
I aim to acknowledge the unhappiness created by technology and propose humanism to ward off technocratic tyranny and to discover what technological happiness might be.
I hope my proposition is clear - that for there to be a happy encounter with technology, we need to re-orientate ourselves to humanist perspectives. Those perspectives can be found in history, philosophy, ethics, anthropology, theory, art, storytelling, questioning, criticism and debate. Sensitivity to humanism needs to be nurtured, the ember that might make a flame seems at risk of being extinguished.
It is with humility and hope that I offer this idea to the eLearning Korea 2017 Conference.
Open online courses and massively untold storiesLeigh Blackall
This paper accounts for a small range of open online courses that helped to inform the early development of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It laments the loss of meaning in the word open and its historic alignment to free and open source principles. It calls for more academic work to better represent the histories and range of critical perspectives on open online courses, and outlines how Wikipedia can be used as a central organising platform for such work.
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Leighblackall/Open_Online_Courses_and_Massively_untold_stories
I don't reckon 'privacy' is the right word to frame the issues around data. It doesn't connect with the unsettled feelings we have with corporate and state collection and use of it. I think the issue is really about power, and through this frame we connect to a range of critical, political and economic ideas that may be more useful to consider.
Here's my slides for the University Analytics Forum tomorrow. As with all the presentations I do, these are initial ideas and thoughts that will hopefully generate comments to guide a more focused look. If it goes anywhere, I'll keep notes on a Wikiversity page.

http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Leighblackall/An_ethical_framework_for_ubiquitous_learning
Ubiquitous learning, through its association to the phrase ‘ubiquitous computing’, is often taken to mean learning mediated through portable computing devices that are coupled with digital media and data. This paper argues for a consideration that is less determined by technology, positioning instead that it be used to describe a broad and deliberate approach to learning generally, with or without the aid of computing devices or digital media.
Based on a feed-back structure of ethics, principles, methods and outcomes used by David Holgrem to popularise Permaculture Design, an ethical framework for ubiquitous learning is put forward to guide considerations. It draws on the theories, critiques and proposals of Ivan Illich, Neil Postman, Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger, Christopher Alexander, Richard Stallman and others to form three primary ethics: That learning happens everywhere; that it be relevant and; that it is shared. These ethics are substantiated through a number of principles that guide methods and hold outcomes accountable. And finally, to illustrate methods through this framework a range of projects and initiatives are presented. They include a situationist theatre production, The School of Everything and other convivial learning networks, and Open Educational Practices
A short presentation given to the Faculty of Health Sciences at La Trobe University, Bendigo Campus. Points raised include: Professional education is ignoring the impact of Google, Youtube and Wikipedia. That 4 minutes and 12 seconds is a target time frame for teaching through video. That Michael Wesch's video called An Anthropological Introduction to Youtube is a good reference. And that mini lectures and short demos recorded using a mobile phone are a simple place to start.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
