Social media for HE lifelong learning (public version)Lis Parcell
Slides used to support a workshop run by Jisc RSC Wales for Lifelong Learning staff at University of South Wales, Caerleon campus on 9 July 2013. The slides were developed by Esther Barrett and used by Esther and Lis Parcell to support activities and conversations with approx 25 staff about experiences, questions and ideas for the use of social media with their learners.
1) Traditional media like newspapers have declined as people get more information online and through social media.
2) Social media allows for fast, direct, and transparent word-of-mouth communication through technology platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
3) During emergencies, government agencies should engage on social media to provide timely information and build trust with transparency.
The document discusses the importance of leadership engagement on social media. It notes that social media has had a huge impact and influenced revolutions. Leaders must understand various social media platforms like Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn and craft a personal engagement policy that is reasonable and avoids saying anything damaging. While social media requires a significant time investment, it allows leaders to reach audiences not accessible through other channels. The future of social media is uncertain but it is important for leaders to selectively engage with an authentic message.
This document summarizes data usage and sharing on the internet every minute, providing statistics for major platforms like Snapchat, Netflix, Google, Instagram, and others. Some key findings are that Snapchat users watch nearly 7 million videos, Netflix subscribers stream 87,000 hours of video, Google translates nearly 70 million words, and Amazon makes over $222,000 in sales - all within a single minute. The document concludes that data has become a core business currency and Domo can help organize this data into useful business insights.
The document discusses the concept of a "Synaptic Web" where connections between objects are more important than the objects themselves. It provides examples of how connections are changing to produce new experiences through real-time connections like streams rather than static pages. New types of connections are emerging through technologies that combine different types of media like video, location data, and personal interests to create augmented reality experiences. Deeper integration and embedding of functionality between objects, rather than just links, could change how search and transparency work.

Presentation by Dave Briggs, Digital Enabler and Conference Chair at the PSFBuzz North East social media conference for local government, 7 July 2009, Newcastle. A Public Sector Forums conference.
The document discusses the future of social media. It notes that while social media was once exciting, some argue it has become boring as big brands have adopted social media marketing tactics. However, innovation continues to be driven by individuals, not brands. New technologies like Bitcoin and user-generated sites show social media's future remains promising and will continue evolving in untapped ways. The document concludes that brands should focus less on interrupting conversations to promote products, and more on building communication tools people find inherently social and valuable.
Will Francis gave a talk on how the internet is constantly changing and merging with our lives. Some key points:
- The internet is made up of billions of connected devices and we all contribute to shaping it with our online actions.
- Brands need to identify existing online conversations and add value, rather than trying to create communities. Knowing your audience is crucial.
- A brand's online personality should be honest and human. Toyota responded well to a crisis by creating an open forum for discussion.
- To be relevant, brands need to provide value through useful or entertaining content. They must consider if the content is something people actually want.
- Involving technologists early in the process is important to avoid unrealistic

Why dark social sharing isnt light years awayJoão Romão
The document discusses the concept of "dark social sharing", which refers to sharing content through methods like copying URLs and pasting them into emails and chats, rather than using social media buttons. Dark social sharing accounts for more than two-thirds of all social sharing activity. The author describes an example where a website saw over 9,000 instances of dark social sharing, accounting for 53% of its monthly traffic. Measuring dark social sharing allowed the website owners to see their content was being shared much more widely than the few hundred shares indicated by social media buttons. Social sharing is about more than just buttons - it's important to understand and measure all sharing activity, including through dark social means.

Businesses now utilize social media for effective marketing to reach more consumers in multiple languages.
Digital transformation at Adur and WorthingDave Briggs
The document discusses digital and organizational design for a council. It outlines developing a "council as a platform" operating model that protects frontline services while enabling sustainable, transformative change. This involves combining digital and organizational development into a single change function, redesigning services with user-centered design, using best-in-breed technology for end-to-end digital services, supporting people through change, and both creating and consuming platforms and capabilities. Lessons learned are that this type of change is difficult, requires support from top leadership, needs early savings, tactical initiatives, and constant communication.
1) The document discusses rethinking the operating model of Adur & Worthing Councils for the digital age by adopting a digital operating model that reduces bureaucracy and links those with needs directly to those with solutions through technology.
2) It proposes tackling both the front-end web presence and back-office systems together to enable the new operating model and investing in generic capabilities that can be reused rather than single solutions.
3) The goal is to design services from the user perspective, consume capabilities from other organizations where possible in addition to creating their own, and realize benefits such as efficiency savings and repurposing resources to front-line services.
Think Digital is a description of capability required for organisations looking to move to a model of operating that is comfortable with change, able to act quickly and decisively, and technology-aware.

Social Media for Fire & Rescue ServicesDave Briggs
The document discusses how to effectively use social media. It recommends going where people are online and using the right tools for each audience. Some key points are to listen to what people say, acknowledge their feedback, create and share content. While activity needs structure and policy support, it's important to keep engagement light. Most of all, organizations should be bold, human, transparent, cooperative and positive when using social media.
School governors and online collaborationDave Briggs
The document discusses creating a learning community in the public sector. It notes that change is happening in communication, socializing, and work due to demands from people and limited budgets. Digital engagement and new technologies allow for open collaboration and knowledge sharing. The key is to start by listening, acknowledging others, creating content, and sharing it both inside and outside organizations while managing change, talent, knowledge, and ideas. Policies should also be kept light and allow for individualism through loosely connected small contributions.
Community engagement through social networkingDave Briggs
Dave Briggs discusses how community engagement through social networking can be used to make public scrutiny and engagement more effective. He argues that digital engagement is already happening online through forums and social media in both large cities and small towns. Groups should participate in online discussions to listen, acknowledge others, create content, and collaborate. When starting online engagement efforts, organizations should release content frequently and get involved in existing online networks while also growing their own. [/SUMMARY]
Using the internet to make government a bit less boringDave Briggs
This document discusses how governments can use social media and technology to become less boring and more transparent and collaborative. It argues that governments need to embrace change by using tools like blogs, social networks, and collaborative authoring to better communicate with the public and across departments. It maintains that the real value of social media is how it encourages openness, transparency, cooperation and knowledge sharing to help governments transform into learning organizations.
This document discusses digital engagement in government and the ongoing revolution in communication. It notes that the focus has been on communications and PR, but that social tools can enable openness, transparency, collaboration and knowledge sharing both within and outside organizations. It advocates embracing social tools and networks to improve processes, structures and strategies in a way that is embedded in the culture of transparency and cooperation that defines the internet.
The document discusses how organizations can learn from the culture of the internet, which is generous, open, curious, and cooperative. It suggests organizations focus less on how to use specific social media platforms and more on being open and accessible across all platforms. Fundamentally, the interesting thing about the internet is not the technology but the implications of using it.
Communities and collaboration for governorsDave Briggs
This document discusses how community and collaboration can help school governors through using online tools. It suggests that a national community of practice could allow governors to share knowledge and experiences. Local communities could also help link activity across areas. Using tools could improve communication and cooperation between governors at a single school. The author offers that their company, Learning Pool, can assist with both the technology and other aspects of building these communities.
The document discusses how Twitter can be used by government to define its relationship with citizens in 140 characters or less. It notes that over 130 local authorities and government departments are active on Twitter. While numbers of tweets and followers are important, the key is for government to be human, frequent, responsive, and to mix media while avoiding automation and trolls. Defining the citizen-government relationship through Twitter requires an interactive organization, not just an interactive website.

Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
