Open questions
• The power of citizen science data: up to which point
of action taking? And which form?
• Evidence (based on citizen science): roles of
universities in action taking (incl. non violent civil
disobedience)?
• Pushing the boundaries of empowerment and
identity inside and outside of the university=>
impacts?
• How far can the concept of “science with and for
society” bring us in terms of real action/real change?

Stay tuned!

Developing digitally literate staff and students: experiences from LSE

Jane Secker

1) The document discusses developing digital literacy among staff and students through experiences at the London School of Economics (LSE). 2) It defines digital literacy as the capabilities needed for living, learning, and working in a digital society, and notes a distinction between viewing it as a literacy for students versus a capability for staff. 3) Over the past decade, LSE's focus on digital literacy among academic staff has included supporting them as teachers, researchers, and learners through training beyond just the use of virtual learning environments and integrating copyright literacy.

This document discusses citizen inquiry, which combines inquiry learning, citizen science, and crowdsourcing. Citizen inquiry engages people of all ages in real science investigations through projects like nQuire and Gardenwatch. nQuire allows over 40,000 people to participate in investigations into topics like creativity and wellbeing. Gardenwatch involved over 250,000 UK citizens surveying their gardens for the BBC. These large-scale citizen inquiry projects provide opportunities for learning while generating valuable scientific data. Ensuring ethical design and open participation is important as educational technology reaches massive scales.

The document discusses knowledge strategy in a networked society and proposes two propositions: 1) That public value will be more effectively achieved through strategic policies that treat user value as flows across institutions rather than actions based on institution classes. 2) Public value will best be achieved by integrating unrelated institutions into a coordinated strategy. It suggests taking an ecosystem approach to create a public knowledge network and explores how knowledge institutions may need to change to remain relevant in the future.

Cape Peninsula University of Technology

This document summarizes a research study examining online portfolio curation among visual arts students in Cape Town, South Africa. The study analyzed how students present themselves and their work digitally, and how this relates to their cultural backgrounds and access to resources. A framework combining cultural capital theory and capability approaches was used to understand gaps in students' participation in digital culture. The framework was applied to a case study of one student, finding that he used a mobile-centric approach to curate personas across multiple creative roles, despite limitations to his digital access and experience.

This document summarizes Dr. Karen Gregory's presentation on conceptualizing digital sociology as a critical and interdisciplinary practice. It gives examples of current digital sociology work studying topics like the quantified self and how Facebook structures social relations. The document argues that digital sociology has a long history across various fields and that algorithms and technologies do not arrive neutrally, but are shaped by human and economic factors. It promotes digital sociology as a way to both study and help shape our increasingly digitized social world.

Digital Humanities_ Bridging Technology and Humanities for a Digital Age.pdf

JasmineLowlarnce

There has been a significant shift in how universities and research institutions operate in this digital age. As a result of the humanities' openness to the possibilities offered by technological advances, a new multidisciplinary area has emerged: digital humanities. With dissertation homework help, learning about the goal of this interdisciplinary field is to deepen our understanding of humanities topics like history, literature, language, and art through the use of computational techniques, data analysis, as well as digital tools. The field of Digital Humanities serves as a pivotal link between the evergreen insights of the arts and the ever-evolving capabilities of technological advances, opening up novel avenues for scholarly inquiry and practical application.

Visualizing the Digital Humanities, Deic2012

University of South Australlia

Digital humanities involves the intersection of digital technologies and humanities research. It can include building digital collections and tools for authoring, analyzing, and managing research. Digital humanities centers typically offer resources like databases, tools for analysis, and training. They serve as hubs for innovation and experimentation in applying new technologies to answer humanities questions. Debates include whether digital humanities should apply technologies or critically examine their impact, and whether databases can support narrative scholarship. Visualizations are increasingly important in digital humanities for exploring subjects like ancient cities in new ways.

Introduktion till forskningsprojektet - del 1

Niklas Karlsson

This document introduces a research project about students' learning of scientific concepts through organizing information and communicating in digital environments and extended classrooms. It discusses how learning activities designed with a knowledge-building approach and collaboratively by teachers can influence student communication in blended learning. The theoretical framework is socio-cultural perspectives and design-based research. The introduction of new technologies provides opportunities for new forms of collaboration and learning activities between teachers, students, and researchers. However, meaningful change requires innovations, not just new technologies.
