This document provides an overview of ePortfolios, including their definition, purposes, and Newcastle University's experience with them over 10 years. EPortfolios are purposeful collections of student work and evidence of learning and competencies. They can be used formatively or summatively and can take many forms from unstructured to structured. Newcastle has used ePortfolios to support reflective learning, assessment of outcomes, and personal development planning. Engagement is higher when ePortfolios are clearly embedded in curriculum through modules and regular reference by teaching staff. The university is now developing a unified ePortfolio system to further support reflection, employability, and meetings between students and personal tutors.

Provenance is broadly defined as the origin or source from which something comes and the history of subsequent owners. In the context of data, process and computation-intensive disciplines, provenance focuses on the description and understanding of where and how data is produced, the actors involved in its production, and the processes applied to it. Provenance has been a hot topic in the last years in scientific disciplines, with a strong emphasis in eScience, where technology and means for representing provenance have been proposed, ranging between different degrees of expressivity. Since the amount of data involved has increased in the different domains, provenance models have eventually evolved into semantic overlays, which describe provenance at different levels of granularity, facilitating user understanding. Nowadays, the need of provenance analysis has expanded beyond scientific domains into the Web of Data arena. The abundance of data is encouraging organizations and governments to publish and expose their data in a way that can be made available to the public and reused for a number of purposes through the Linked Data initiative. However, while an important number of large and interlinked data sets such as the UK government and the BBC web sites are starting to be now publicly available, important challenges still need to be addressed before this vision can be achieved. Amongst them, provenance is one of the most outstanding issues in order to guarantee data quality, trustworthiness and realiability in the Web of Data. In this talk, we will provide an insight on provenance, from eScience to the Web of Data, describing old problems and new challenges, which need to be addressed in the upcoming years.

Magnetic cooling fins can be attached to aluminum reduction cell potshells to increase heat removal and improve potlife. The fins extend the cooling zone up to 65 mm from the shell into cooler air, increasing the thickness of the protective frozen bath ledge along the sidewall. Tests show fins reduce average surface temperature at a given heat output. Different sized fins allow fitting between existing steel fins on potshells. The fins are manually affixed using magnets and can be used below 550 degrees Celsius.
AluCellTech provides technologies to improve the performance of aluminum reduction cells, including cathode nails, arc-cast iron shapes, and cast copper collector bars. These technologies help reduce power consumption, improve current distribution, and increase current efficiency. Uneven current distribution and high contact resistance between traditional collector bars and carbon cathodes can lead to uneven corrosion and reduced potlife. AluCellTech's technologies create a more uniform current distribution to extend potlife and reduce turbulence, while lowering electrical resistance to reduce power consumption.
The document discusses skills mapping and development for information services staff. It introduces skills mapping as a tool to enhance team development, identify skills gaps, and support personal and professional development.

It explores tacit and explicit knowledge and the SECI model of knowledge conversion. Some of the main challenges and goals of KM are reliable technology infrastructure, connecting people to share knowledge, simplifying knowledge sharing and coding processes, and developing unconscious competence through learning. The ultimate aim of KM is to support business objectives and drive continuous learning and innovation within an organization.
The document discusses the shift from industrial to knowledge-based organizational models. It provides examples of how knowledge-based organizations operate with more flexible policies, transparency, decentralized decision-making, and emphasis on systems thinking compared to rule-based industrial models. It also discusses the costs of poor knowledge management for organizations and defines knowledge management as the creation, sharing, and leveraging of knowledge to improve organizational performance. Finally, it provides a knowledge diagnostic model and KM process improvement model.
The document discusses three key drivers of change impacting education: 1) Public services must improve their provision and support economic recovery. 2) Governments have scenarios for online services, including a new "data as a platform" scenario. 3) Governments are moving services to the cloud, with efforts to manage this transition.
This document discusses how collaborative and social technologies can help unlock tacit knowledge in organizations and better channel the collective strengths of knowledge workers. It notes that while these technologies show great potential, simply implementing them is not enough - organizations must also rethink traditional processes and ways of working to fully realize the benefits. Providing guidelines for focusing collaborative technologies on business opportunities can help organizations better harness tacit knowledge for creating future opportunities.

Assessing business it alignment maturityzeusi9iuto
This document describes a methodology for assessing the alignment between IT and business strategies in an organization. It identifies six categories for evaluation: communications maturity, competency/value measurements maturity, governance maturity, partnership maturity, technology scope maturity, and skills maturity. Each category contains multiple criteria that are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 to determine the organization's level of alignment maturity. The primary objective is to identify specific recommendations for improving how IT supports business goals.
The document discusses a research project aimed at developing a system called MIKE (Most Important Knowledge and Expertise) to automatically capture tacit knowledge and expertise within an organization. The project seeks to embed such a system in everyday workflows to increase visibility of tacit knowledge assets. It outlines the major research objectives and projected outcomes. A pilot project was designed involving personnel records, field trip reports, and emails from a federal agency to test MIKE's design principles in an enterprise environment.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
