The document discusses the evolution of online communities and social networks, how individuals participate and engage in these environments, and various tools and technologies that can be used to model 21st century society such as semantic web applications, augmented reality, and affective computing. It also examines concepts like communities of practice, legitimate peripheral participation, and reciprocal determinism in understanding how people interact and influence one another and their environments both online and offline.
Virtual Communities for Professional Development and Growth
How do we promote the knowledge, skills and sense of urgency for 21st Century teaching and learning among all teachers in our schools? As the physical and virtual worlds converge to become the 'real world' of teaching and learning, virtual exchanges, online mentoring and other Web-based environments will play increasingly important roles in educational reform. The presenter will share "lessons learned" from her seven years of experience in designing and leading virtual communities of practice.
FryskLab - Education, innovation and maker culture in the libraryFers
FryskLab is an initiative of Library Service Friesland (Bibliotheekservice Fryslân, BSF) and the Frisian public library network. Friesland is a rural province in the northern part of the Netherlands and FryskLab, operating from a truck formerly used as a bookmobile, is Europe’s first official library FabLab, or “fabrication laboratory”. Its varied team consists of IT specialists, arts management professionals and librarians, and its goal is to examine the extent to which this mobile FabLab initiative contributes to the development of creative, technical and entrepreneurial skills of children and young adults. The project is ultimately expected to result in an increase of the innovative capacities of the entire province of Friesland.
Officially launched in 2014, FryskLab has so far received a number of awards, including the American Library Association’s (ALA) 2017 Presidential Citations for Innovative International Library Projects award. Making knowledge and sharing the future, the motto of the FryskLab project, reinforces the role of libraries in facilitating access to various “tools of knowledge” (equipment and technology) and providing support in the form of various educational and training programmes, effectively bringing together physical and digital, traditional and modern means of acquiring knowledge.

Public libraries in The Netherlands: a powerful networkFers
In this presentation I will briefly present the structure of the public library network in the Netherlands, with particular emphasis on the way public library innovation is “organised”. There is currently a community of practice (CoP) organised for every specific area of library innovation which at the same time also addresses officially established national priorities, i.e. lifelong learning, development of traditional library services, education of the young population, etc. Librarians in each of the CoPs share experiences specific to their field based on which they identify future activities aimed at the development of the particular field. Librarians included in this CoP system come from libraries of all types and sizes regardless of the province or region.

Presentation at Stellenbosch University 14th Annual Library Symposium

Shaping the academic library of the future: adapt, empower, partner, engage
The tradition of the Stellenbosch University Annual Library Symposium of being a platform for discussing new library and information services and developments will continue at the 14th Annual Library Symposium in November 2016. The discussion will be turned to the shaping of the academic library of the future. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of adapting to users’ needs, adapting to new roles as librarians, adapting as a library, empowerment of staff and clients and the importance of partnerships and engagement.
The theme is partly based on the recent OCLC report, Shaping the Library to the life of the user: adapting, empowering, partnering, engaging. In this report it becomes clear that “research and learning needs are changing. Higher education is reconfiguring. As a result of these massive changes, the library must pivot and adapt”. The following core themes are mentioned in this report: to empower users, to empower the library, form partnerships and to engage the campus community. The report advises libraries to be able to “move from offering a fixed set of services to a ‘constant beta’ mode of service evolution” .
Three different sessions will focus on the following themes, all related to the shaping of the academic library of the future:
Digital innovation: Topics of this session may include Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Research Data Management, Big Data, E-learning, Digital Humanities, Next Generation Systems.
Collaboration / Partnerships : Partnerships with OCLC, SANLIC and other consortia as well as other collaboration possibilities will be discussed.
The user experience: Academic staff, researchers and students of local universities will share their expectations as users of academic libraries.
This presentation explains the work being done by Digital Democracy and VozMob and our ideas for collaboration between our two organizations, for N2Y4 Featured Projects Pitch Series
The discord between social and professional digital connectednessSue Beckingham
Within the last decade we have seen how technology has changed the way we communicate. Mobile phones are now ubiquitous and for many access to the internet. Connecting and communicating in social spaces has provided many, the opportunity to extend their social networks, overcoming temporal, spatial and geographical boundaries. Globally dispersed connections have been reunited. Multimedia sharing and user generated content flies through the air and adds a richness to the dialogues that ensue.
However, despite the advice on responsible use of social media that is readily available, for some there seems to be a naivety or unawareness of the impact of their digital identity as they transcend the 'digital airwaves'. There is a blurring of social and professional that is open for all to see. Monitoring and surveillance is something anyone can undertake. My talk will highlight some of the dangers of open digital connectedness and will also look at how taking ownership of your online presence can not only enhance the way others perceive you, but also help you highlight your professional you.

NCompass Live - January 29, 2020
http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/
Innovation encompasses far more than technology. One of the most exciting trends in 21st century libraries is the emphasis on restructuring and reinventing our roles in our communities. A huge part of this discussion revolves around the term "Community Engagement". And while this sounds grand and fancy, things often get blurry when we are pressed to define it, implement it, and (the most daunting of all) measure it.
It’s time to cut through ambiguity and put concrete parameters around this evasive topic. This discussion will center around the following questions about community engagement: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and HOW?
Participants will leave with a clear definition of Community Engagement, along with the framework for how to build a Community Engagement plan. One size doesn’t fit all. Your library is uniquely special and to honor this fact, this interactive hour will include brainstorming about what’s right for your library and community. This discussion will be supported by concrete examples and case studies from libraries who have implemented successful community engagement plans.
This conversation is for everyone in the public library. The secret to effective community engagement involves the whole team; we all have an important part to play.

Ενδοσχολική Επιμόρφωση: Η Ιστοριογραμμή του Ταξιδιού του Ήρωα στη Δημιουργική Αφήγηση
Ο πρωταρχικός σκοπός του ευρωπαϊκού προγράμματος ΚΑ2 RomaMultiLangPrimE ήταν η ανάπτυξη των 4Cs (creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration), η δημιουργικότητα, επικοινωνία, συνεργατικότητα και η κριτική σκέψη. Σήμερα, μετά το πέρας του προγράμματος, προστίθεται κι ένας 5ος παράγοντας, η εμπιστοσύνη (confidence). Ενώ στα πλαίσια του προγράμματος οι δεξιότητες και ικανότητες αυτές αναπτύχθηκαν μέσω των Πολυγραμματισμών και της Πολυτροπικότητας, προτείνεται ένα νέο πλαίσιο εφαρμογής τους, η Δημιουργική Αφήγηση και πιο συγκεκριμένα η τεχνική της Ιστοριογραμμής υποστηρίζοντας τους/τις μαθητές/τριες στην εξωτερίκευση και επικοινωνία των σκέψεων, συναισθημάτων και εμπειριών μέσω της δικής τους ιστορίας συμμετέχοντας ενεργά σε ένα μη πραγματικό, μη αγχογόνο περιβάλλον δράσης. Επειδή η αφήγηση των ιστοριών ως εκπαιδευτικό εργαλείο μπορεί να υποστηρίξει τη μάθηση ως γνωστικό κατασκεύασμα συμβάλλει στην απόκτηση του εκάστοτε γνωστικού υπόβαθρου των μαθητών/τριών, ως άτομα ή ως µέλη κοινωνικών ομάδων. Η Δημιουργική Αφήγηση γίνεται ένα εργαλείο για την διδασκαλία όπου ο/η μαθητής/τρια δημιουργεί έντονη συναισθηματική εικόνα της εμπειρίας ή και ανάμνησης ως πράξη επικοινωνίας όπου παρουσιάζεται προφορικά, ή γραπτά μια σειρά πραγματικών ή πλασματικών και επινοημένων γεγονότων με τη συμμετοχή τουλάχιστον δύο ατόμων, του πομπού (του αφηγητή) και κάποιου στον οποίο απευθύνεται ο αφηγητής (του αποδέκτη της αφήγησης). Ο αφηγητής φροντίζει να δώσει στον αποδέκτη τις απαραίτητες πληροφορίες για τον τόπο, το χρόνο, τα πρόσωπα και τα πιθανά αίτια ενός συμβάντος με μια ορισμένη σειρά. Οι αφηγήσεις, παρά την επιφανειακή τους μεταβλητότητα, παρουσιάζουν κοινή δομή, την Ιστοριογραμμή. Η Ιστοριογραμμή του Ταξιδιού του Ήρωα μέσα από τα σχέδια εργασίας και τη δημιουργική διαδικασία μπορεί να συμβάλλει στην παιδαγωγική αξιοποίηση της δημιουργικής αφήγησης για την ανάπτυξη των 5Cs.

A great number of jobs are becoming obsolete these days; our era is shifting from the Industrial to the Information, Collaboration and Creativity one. Knowledge, skills, competencies and associated tools within Communities of Practice (CoPs) are constantly altering. In the rise of such new world, new dreams and visions are needed to be manifested creating new CoPs and careers that sometimes can be entirely unpredictable. This rapid information expansion, worldwide collaboration and promptly emerging new technologies, are raising demands in the everyday working ecosystems. Consequently, they impact and alter the Vocational Education and Training (VET) pedagogical approaches and learning possibilities. Based upon the inevitable uncertainty, best practices are presented that have been intelligently employed for vocational technology enhanced learning within in situ connected working environments. Furthermore, new methods, tools and techniques are proposed to embrace and enhance collaborative creativity implemented in diverse and intersected informal and formal learning and working locations. Such frameworks and easy-to-use tools have the potential to adjust and bridge previous knowledge and experiences with the new working demands. In this way, knowledge, skills and competencies can be transformed and transmitted within unified learning and working ecosystems for everyday ubiquitous connectivity and practice.

Gen Z and the marketplaces - let's translate their needsLaura Szabó
The product workshop focused on exploring the requirements of Generation Z in relation to marketplace dynamics. We delved into their specific needs, examined the specifics in their shopping preferences, and analyzed their preferred methods for accessing information and making purchases within a marketplace. Through the study of real-life cases , we tried to gain valuable insights into enhancing the marketplace experience for Generation Z.
The workshop was held on the DMA Conference in Vienna June 2024.
Instagram has become one of the most popular social media platforms, allowing people to share photos, videos, and stories with their followers. Sometimes, though, you might want to view someone's story without them knowing.

initiative of the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) to create a metadata-
rich Web of resources that can describe
themselves not only by how they should
be displayed (HTML) or syntactically
(XML), but also by the meaning of the
metadata.”
From W3C Semantic Web Activity Page
“The Semantic Web is an extension of
the current web in which information is
given well-defined meaning, better
enabling computers and people to work
