The document outlines a workshop to explore developing a Web 2.0 learning environment. It will include a presentation on Web 1.0 vs 2.0, a card game to design a possible new system, and discussion of what this means. Participants will break into groups to envision the system from the perspectives of students, staff, and administration. They will consider approaches, development methods, and tools to include within a budget. Finally, groups will write stories about what it will be like for their assigned role when the new system is implemented. The workshop aims to start a collaborative design process for a more personalized, networked online learning environment.
This presentation was developed to help a client address best practices for building an online community within the workplace. It was based upon a great deal of research and study of the topic and should help those who are seeking information or wish to start an online community, as it pulls together a great amount of data and resources on the topic.

Digital Connectedness: Taking Ownership of Your Professional Online Presence Sue Beckingham
Developing pathways to connectedness essentially commences with family and friends, but over time new connections outside of these circles begin to form ever increasing and interlinking circles. These informal and formal networks have the potential to help you unlock new doors to new opportunities. Social media can without doubt provide excellent communication channels and a space to develop your network of connections. Nonetheless as your online presence expands it leaves behind both digital footprints and digital shadows; and this needs to be given due consideration. This keynote will look at the value of developing a professional online presence and why as future graduates you need to take ownership of this.

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.

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024
Web 2.0 and e-elearning
1. Purpose of today
• Exploring a Web 2.0 learning environment
• What it might be, how to get there
• What it might means for all concerned
Moving to personalisation for learners,
networking for staff and employers
This is based on a workshop at a London college May 2007
David Wilcox http://www.designingforcivilsociety.org
Drew Mackie http://www.usefulgames.co.uk

1
The college currently uses a Blackboard-based virtual learning environment and wants to explore
how they might develop in future using more Web 2.0 tools. The college wants to o!er a more
personalised learning experience. In doing this they also want to build on students’ personal use of
Web 2.0 tools in social networking and other activities. The new online environment will also have to
provide for networking with sta! and with employers.
2. Agenda
1. What we mean by Web 1.0/2.0
2. A “game” to help design a new environment
3. Insights and issues for development
Our role: guide in the three journeys of discovery,
design and development
2
Today’s three-hour session will cover a short presentation on Web 2.0, a game to explore possible
developments, and then discussion of what this means.
3. Change in technology
Web 2.0?
Web 1.0?
•Personal blogs
•Collaborative wikis
•E-mail
•Shared bookmarks
•Forums/lists
•Shared photos
•Web sites
•Shared docs
•Mainly text and images
•Social spaces
•Linking pages
•Audio and video
•Being in one place
•Feeding items
•Communities
•Being in many places
•Networks
3
Before we get into the details, I would just like to check where we all are. There’s nothing wrong with
Web 1.0 - it depends what your requirements are.
4. Change in media
4
What’s happening in the wider world is that people are shifting from traditional media to social
media
They can create their own content online and read, listen, view other people’s
5. Change in personal capacity
Profile
Many places
Feeds
Shared
photos and
bookmarks
Fundraising
http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/
5
Taking advantage of new developments does give you as an individual or organisation a lot more
capability. Here’s how one blogger - Beth Kanter - is using Web 2.0 tools. See http://
socialmedia.wikispaces.com for more about social media, including a presentation from Beth.
6. Change in relationships
6
The move to Web 2.0 can mean a move from hierarchical, broadcast communication to networks.
That involves a change in relationships, and control.
7. Change in e-learning
From virtual learning environment
to personal learning environment
http://members.optusnet.com.au/rlubensky/2006/12/present-and-future-of-personal-learning.html
7
Personal learning environments are where e-portfolios, virtual learning environments and web 2.0
services converge.
8. ... if there is a cultural change
Are you Yes 2.0? or No 2.0?
•A human voice •Official voice
•Willing to share •Anxious to control
•Building on what’s there •Concerned to “own”
•Promoting conversations •Emphasising publishing
•Ready to experiment •One version for all
•Evolving •Little flexibility
8
The new Web 2.0 tools will work best in a “Yes 2.0” environment ... and their use in a more
controlling environment is likely to prove challenging.
9. How do we get from here to ??
1. Envisage the system, explore the process
2. The design the system - collaborative?
3. Build - openly?
Today - play through what that involves
9
But how do we explore what a new Web 2.0 environment for e-learning might be like? It may help to
think of this as three journeys (see Anecdote http://www.anecdote.com.au/archives/2007/04/
knowledge_strat_2.html). First envision what the system might look like, and what the development
process might be. Then design the system (for real), and finally build the design. Key issues are
whether you collaborate with others and operate openly.
10. Playing through the journey
• Share an understanding of where we are
• Cards give options for approach, designing,
and building
• Choose and organise within 15 point budget
• Tell stories - pathways - for students, staff,
administration
10
The workshop game developed by Drew Mackie and David Wilcox is designed to help with the first
journey of envisioning the final system, and looking at the development process. The run of the
game is: first describe the current situation in the college, and what you hope to achieve; then look
at the card set - with cards for approach, development and building. You have a budget limit. When
you have developed you system, switch into storytelling mode. What is it going to be like for
students, sta! and management?
We’ll develop the initial shared understanding together, then break into groups of 4-6 to consider
the cards and tell stories.
More on games at http://www.usefulgames.co.uk
11. 1. The college now - and
in prospect
• What is the current system?
• What are the challenges?
• What changes in prospect?
• What aims for the future?
11
Here’s some issues to start our discussion of the current situation. We’ll do this today and write it
up as we go. After that’s we’ll break into groups of 4-6 people. One group can look at development
from the perspective of students, another as teachers, and the third as managers.
12. 2. Consider your approach
Are you going for an open or closed approach to
development and building - tech or people-led?
12
In your groups look first at the cards with the “approach” strip. These are to prompt discussion
about your overall strategy.
13. 3. Choose development cards
What methods will you use during development
to match your approach?
13
The cards with pink budget points represent possible activities during development
14. 4. Choose tools and activities
What tools and activities will make up the final
system in the light of previous discussion?
14
Now you have thought about your approach, consider what tools and activities should be in the final
system. You have 15 points for these and the “pink” development cards together. Organise these
and the earlier cards on a flip chart.

19. 5. Write the stories
In groups, use the story
sheets to describe what
happens to:
• a student
• a teacher
• a manager
Facilitators may throw in some unexpected
challenges and opportunities

From previous discussions, you have developed your vision of the development process and the
system that you may create. Now - in groups of 4-6 - tell the story of what it will be like to be
involved in development and use of the system, from the point of view of a student, teacher, and
member of sta!.
20. 6. Keep talking online
Consider using an online collaboration system, like
that used to develop a proposal for the UK Cabinet
Office http://www.innovationexchange.net

The game session will produce a lots of ideas and discussion. It may be appropriate to run another
session with a wider group of people. Meanwhile the core group can continue online. For example,
we created an online collaboration system for a consortium of interests to develop a proposal for an
innovation exchange. We could use something similar.
