Global trends in Social media for Agricultural DevelopmentDishant James
Many agricultural professionals eschew social media because they don’t understand what it is and how to engage with it and learn. Social media platforms provide agricultural institutions the ability to communicate directly to the farmers and consumers, informing them about various aspects of agriculture (Saravanan and Suchiradipta, 2016).

Participatory technology development farmers lead researchAshish Murai
Agricultural extension, as a discipline and a service, is the most frequent scapegoat when it comes to putting blame for poor adoption of latest technologies among farmers. Whereas, the researchers often fail to understand the compatibility of their technologies with respect to farmers’ situation, resources, social structure and other relevant factors. Therefore, the research should be farmer-driven and farmer-lead. Participatory technology development provides for farmers to lead the research process and result into farm appropriate technologies.

Citizen science offer different levels of engagement to participants, which have been captured in typologies of the field (contributory, collaborative, co-created, collegial / crowdsourcing, distributed intelligence, participatory science, extreme citizen science). These typologies do no explicitly examine learning. At the same time, projects and activities striving to fulfil multiple goals (excellent scientific output, satisfying engagement, good recruitment, learning …). Within ythe range of citizen science project, we can consider different aspects of learning that are occurring in them, Projects and use examples from a range of project, and raise some aspects that can help those who are designing co-created projects.

Within the emerging European agenda for open science, deeper public engagement with science, through citizen science, is now part and parcel of Horizon Europe. Yet, there are many issues that need to be understood – the uneven landscape of citizen science across the European Research Area, scientific disciplines, and institutions; the balancing of multiple goals that citizen science projects enact between raising awareness to scientific issues to producing data and analysis that can lead to top discoveries; measuring and assessing the outcomes and outputs of projects; and consideration about the data, analysis, and outputs. The talk will provide a short introduction to citizen science and modes of engagement in it, introduce the “Doing It Together Science” (DITOs) escalator model; and review some of the emerging policy responses to citizen science across the world.

What happens when instead of asking the crowd for help, the question of what is explored is handed over to the participants?
The potential of bottom-up citizen science has increased dramatically in the past decade. To understand this, we can look at the societal and technological changes that led to this proliferation, and then explore the challenges, risks and opportunities that this approach presents.

citizen science - a brief introduction Muki Haklay
Presentation by Muki Haklay in a participatory virtual workshop June 2020. The presentation provided an overview of the types of activities that fall under the umbrella term citizen science - from activities that people do at home using the computers and the internet (volunteer computing or volunteer thinking) to ecological monitoring of landscape change in an opportunistic way. The presentation also pointed out to the multiple goals of citizen science projects - from engaging people in environmental issues, to providing opportunities to disadvantaged groups in society. The level of participation across projects was also highlighted, indicating that as requirements and knowledge increase, the number of people that are currently engaged in citizen science project decreases.

Participatory Research: Extending Open Science beyond the ivory tower - Open ...Claudia Göbel
Participatory research, that is when people who are not employed as scientists do research – on their own, in groups and potentially in cooperation with people who are employed as scientists. There are many different methodologies and approaches to participatory research, for instance DIY science, Community-based Research, Participatory Action Research and Citizen Science.
Such concepts are not often considered in discussions on Open Science, which are usually focussing on developments within scientific institutions. In my talk I will argue that it is important to extend the idea of Open Science beyond academia by considering another shade of openness – openness for participation of volunteers and cooperations with civil society organisations.
With a focus on Citizen Science, I will introduce a pluralistic concept of participatory research, highlight current developments and discuss challenges of this growing field of practice in Europe.
Extreme Citizen Science: Current Development Muki Haklay
Slides from a talk to UCL Institute of Global Prosperity soundbites event - 5th November 2015.
With a growing emphasis on civil society-led change in diverse disciplines, from International Development to Town Planning, there is an increasing demand to understand how institutions might work with the public effectively and fairly.
Extreme Citizen Science is a situated, bottom-up practice that takes into account local needs, practices and culture and works with broad networks of people to design and build new devices and knowledge creation processes that can transform the world.
In this talk, Muki will discuss the work of UCL Extreme Citizen Science group within the wider context of the developments in the field of citizen science.He will cover the work that ExCiteS has already done, currently developing and plans for the future.

Rapidly advancing scientific research is among the main transforming actors of our societies today. Citizen Science can promote public awareness, encourage meaningful contribution to research projects and empower local and global communities. How can we rethink school education through the prism of Citizen Science? And how can we start from schools to re-establish the links between scientific research and society, while promoting awareness and collaboration?

Extreme Citizen Science technologies: attempting to embed values in codeMuki Haklay
Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS) is a situated, bottom-up practice that takes into account local needs, practices and culture and works with broad networks of people to design and build new devices and knowledge creation processes that can transform the world. The ExCiteS group at UCL was set up to support the implementation of this concept through the development of theories, methodologies, processes, and technologies that allow any community, regardless of (technical) literacy, to engage in citizen science projects that produce results that are meaningful and useful for them. Stemming from theoretical foundations in participatory action research and public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS), our technologies are designed to carry values with them. Once we visit these values, we can see how they turn into code, and ask how successful these efforts are, using cases in the Amazon, Congo-basin, Namibia, UK, and Malta.
The persistent environmental digital divide(s) -RGS-IBG 2018Muki Haklay
Over 25 years ago, as the web was emerging as a medium for distributing public information, it was promoted as a tool for increased democratisation. From the age of dial-up modem and PCs to the use of mobile phones and smartphones, concerns about digital divides and how they impact the ability of local participation in environmental decision making never resolved. These digital divides are creating a tapestry of marginalisation through different devices, skills, and communication potentials, and it is valuable to reflect on their dimensions – both technical and social, and consider how we can consider them in a systematic way. The talk will attempt to reflect on technological and social changes and the attempts to address them.

Examining the values that are embedded in the processes and technologies of p...Muki Haklay
A persistent question about participatory methodologies that rely on technologies, such as public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS), is how to integrate values, such as inclusiveness of all the people that are impacted by a decision, or identifying options that are popular by the majority but acceptable to the minority, within technologically focused projects. Moreover, technologies do not operate by themselves – they are embedded in organizational, political, and social processes that set how they are used, who can use them, and in what context. Therefore, we should explore where the values reside?
Two factors obscure our view: The misleading conceptualisation that technologies are value free, and can be used for good or for bad – which put all the weight on the process, and ignores the way in which any technology allow only certain actions to be taken. Another popular view of technology conceptualisation is to emphasise their advantages (upside) and ignore their limitations. If we move beyond these, and other “common sense” views of technologies, we can notice how process and technology intertwine.
We can therefore look at the way the process/technology reinforce and limit each other, and the way that the values are integrated and influence them. With this analysis, we can also consider how technological development can explicitly include considerations of values, and be philosophically, politically, and social-theory informed. We need to consider the roles, skills, and knowledge of the people that are involved in each part of the process – from community facilitation to software development.
The paper will draw on the experience of developing participatory geographic information technologies over the past 20 years, and will suggest future directions for values-based participatory technology development.
Into the Night - Technology for citizen scienceMuki Haklay
Current citizen science seems effortless...just download an app and start using it. However, there are many technical aspects that are necessary to make a citizen science project work. In this session, we will provide an overview of all the technical elements that are required - from the process of designing an app., to designing and managing a back-end system, to testing the system end to end before deployment. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a short exercise to consider the design of an app for a citizen science project that addresses light pollution.
Haw GIScience lost its interdisciplinary mojo?Muki Haklay
These are the slides from my talk at the GISCience 2016 conference. There is more information on my blog, but the abstract is:
Over the past 25 years, I have experienced an inside track view of two interdisciplinary research fields: Geographical Information Science (GIScience) and Citizen Science. Over that period, I was also involved in about 20 multidisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary projects. As a result, I also found myself evaluating and funding x-disciplinary projects.
On the basis of these experiences, I’d argue that Interdisciplinarity is always hard, risky, require compromises, accommodations, listening, and making mistakes. The excitement from the outputs and outcomes does not always justify the price. Frequently, there is no-follow on project – it’s been too exhausting.
Considering the project level challenges, viewing interdisciplinary areas of studies emerging is especially interesting. You can notice how concepts are being argued and agreed on. You can see what is inside and what is outside, and where the boundary is drawn. You can see how methodologies, jargon, acceptable behaviour, and modes of operations get accepted or rejected – and from the inside, you can nudge the field and sometimes see the impact of your actions.
GIScience was born as an interdisciplinary field of study, and the period of consolidation that I have seen was supposed to lead to stability and growth. This did not happen. Take any measure that you like: size of conferences, papers – or even the argument if the field deserve a Wikipedia page. Something didn’t work.
In contrast, Citizen Science is already attracting to its conferences audience in the many hundreds – the Citizen Science Association include 4000 (free) members, The European Citizen Science Association 180 (paid) – and that is in the first 2 years since they’ve established.
In the talk, I explore the way in which interdisciplinary projects and fields work, highlight the similarities and differences, and suggest the issues that have led to the outcomes that we see today

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

• Is the learning evaluated and does it inform the
project?
Some questions on learning
11. 1. Task/game mechanics
2. Pattern recognition
3. On topic learning
5. Off topic knowledge
and skills

17. • Data collection processes and protocols
• Details about the issues (e.g. bird feeding in winter)
• Organisational skills
• Familiarity with systems and procedures
(CoCoRHaS)
• New patterns or discoveries
Learning in contributory projects
20. • New tools and social learning (sensors
development)
• Problem solving skills
• Issue specific (what is being measured and how)
• Organisational skills
• Communication and political action
Learning in collegial projects

22. • Most of the focus is on the participants – what they
learn and how
• Little research on the scientists:

Issues with learning
23. Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS) is a situated,
bottom-up practice that takes into account local
needs, practices and culture and works with broad
networks of people to design and build new devices
and knowledge creation processes that can
transform the world.
Creating technologies that are designed to be
embedded within participatory processes.
Extreme Citizen Science
25. Diffusion Tubes
Pros Cons
Comparable to Local Authority data Not real time
Only need a step ladder and diffusion
tube
Active involvement
Easy to use Measurement in one location
Uses local knowledge
Low cost
Inclusive
Integrates with mobile apps to record
location & other details

Exploring the results
27. • Identifying the most suitable tools (diffusion tubes)
• Identifying the role of technology and mapping in
documenting the activities and sharing the results
• Using both local knowledge and scientific
knowledge
Community & researchers learning

31. • Sharing limitations and potential application of
monitoring
• Developing representations that express
community views and wishes for utilisation of the
information
• Developing new initiatives – progressing from
contributory, through co-design, to collegial
Community & researchers learning
34. • Different types of communities: community of
practice, interest, and place
• Adapting tools and activities to different life stages
and shared priorities – mutual learning
• Development of general training and learning

38. • Learning is integral to citizen science
• It happens at all modes of citizen science, though
in different ways and in different areas
• There is a need to pay attention to the learning by
those who run and develop citizen science and not
only the participant
Summary
39. • New course: Introduction to Citizen Science and
Scientific Crowdsourcing
• Part of OPENER and DITOs projects
• MOOC + face to face course at UCL, aimed at MSc
students and practitioners
