ABSTRACT
The paper presents the findings of a HEA-CLL funded project focussing on encouraging students to cocreate
and use OERs via interdisciplinary study guides on research methods. Students were asked to
review the tutor-produced study guides developed on a Google website/wiki and to add resources to the
study guide via a comments feature. In focus interviews, they were asked if they were willing to take
ownership of the guides. Students’ views on student-led guides indicated an interest in this pedagogical
approach, but had issues around trusting their peers’ ability to make reliable judgements. These findings
will be explored in our paper.
Using social media to support learning in higher educationSue Beckingham
My keynote presentation considers how social media and digital technologies can be utilised effectively to enhance both informal and formal learning. Drawing upon the 5C Framework (Nerantzi and Beckingham 2014) I will share examples of how social media is used to connect, communicate, curate, collaborate and create; and through a student-staff partnership called ‘SMASH’ (Social Media for Academic Studies at Hallam) how with my students we have explored how social media can be used for ‘learning activities’ within and beyond the classroom, to ‘organise learning’ using relevant social media tools to curate and organise information, and the importance of ‘showcasing learning’ to enable students to openly share outcomes and projects.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

The use of blogging and micro-blogging in language education
1. The use of blogging and
micro-blogging In language
education
2. What is the concept of blogging and micro-blogging?
Blogging : It allows users to exchange small elements of content such as
short sentences, individual images, or video links, and, there is no
restriction for No. of words.
Micro-blogging : It allows users to exchange small elements of content
such as short sentences, individual images, or video links, but, there is
restriction for the No. of words.
3. What is the use of blogging and micro-blogging in
language education?
It allows participants to develop their personal learning
environments. The use of micro-blogging tools promoted informal
learning, which seems like an unconscious way of learning a
language. Also, it offered multimedia content including visuals and
audios.
4. The students can do their assignments in this platform which enhances
active learning by helping students relate the course material to their own
experiences both inside and outside of the classroom.
It can be called a process-oriented learning not a product-oriented one. In
this way they have the opportunity to be a part of someone else’s process,
through commenting, discussing. etc.
5. Learning through association which leads students to a social view of
learning can be seen as collective and collaborative learning process.
Because, there are interactions between multiple users.
This leads the Students, to be more engaged in information sharing,
collaboration, brainstorming, problem solving. Students can use a
blog to facilitate their learning at their own pace.
6. It enhances the possibility of augmenting student’s engagement
and participation, enhancing their sense of community, and also
help them improve both formal and informal learning beyond the
classroom and outside the classroom.
It can be a faster way for students to obtain information from other
people than from textbooks or newspaper.
7. It helps student’s thinking, which can be considered as the most
important benefit that comes with blogging.
Blogging allows people to express their creativity. So, regularly
blogging, students will lead to a wider audience, which again leads to
receive feedback. In this way their experiences will be constructed ,in
it’s best way.
Students who participate in educational blogging are usually take their
study more seriously, their studies are more in-depth level than simple
rote memorization.
8. In a nutshell:
It promotes autonomous learning by providing
opportunities for students to take more control of their
learning.
Motivates students to become better readers and writers.
Promotes discussion among students.
Enhances learning, motivates students and fosters
collaboration among learners.
