This document discusses how individuals, groups, and networks interact using technology. It explores the continuum between an individual's personal identity and interests and their participation in larger communities and networks. It suggests that technology allows people to be together in new ways, and encourages considering how to best support individuals, groups, and networks through practices like facilitating participation, cultivating relationships, and enabling content sharing.
Slides for a remote presentation/session for http://conference2009.e-uni.ee/index.php?n=en
SCHOOL - FROM TEACHING INSTITUTION TO LEARNING SPACE which takes place April 02 - 03, 2009 at the Estonian University of Life Sciences conference centre (Kreutzwaldi 1A, Tartu), Estonia (but I'll be in Seattle and it will be 4:30 am my time!)
The document outlines different components of the Spidergram community including meetings, projects, access to expertise, relationships, context, community cultivation, individual participation, content publishing, and open-ended conversations. Meetings include in-person and online gatherings, agenda building, and meeting spaces. Projects involve interrelated tasks and outcomes done through collaboration. Access to expertise allows learning from experienced practitioners. Relationships are foundational for making meaningful connections. Context discusses what is kept internally and shared externally. Community cultivation focuses on recruiting, orienting, and supporting members. Individual participation enables crafting one's own experience. Content publishing captures and shares what the community learns. Open-ended conversations continue over time without specific goals.

The document discusses technology stewardship and how communities can use technology. It provides examples of different types of community activities and orientations. It also suggests various digital tools that could support activities like meetings, projects, expertise sharing, relationships, and open-ended conversations. The goal is to help communities identify current and desired activities and select appropriate tools.
The document discusses the role of technology stewards in online learning communities. It describes how technology stewards select and configure technologies to support community needs and practices. This involves addressing tensions between togetherness and separateness, interacting and publishing, and individual and group needs. Technology stewards also help enable learners to discover useful technologies, participate in communities and networks, develop their identity, find and create content, and participate meaningfully.

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.
http://www.yorksj.ac.uk/ltd/ltd/student-engagement/undergraduate-research-confere.aspx
The document discusses online facilitation and community building. It provides tips for facilitating online groups including starting simple, repeating key messages, providing induction and support for new users, and gently transitioning people from existing tools. The role of the facilitator is to build participation and buy-in among community members. A variety of online tools can be used to connect, communicate, and collaborate as a group.
The document discusses how technology has changed how groups can interact and be together. It explores polarities around togetherness and separateness, interacting and publishing, and individual and group identities. It then examines how different orientations like meetings, projects, relationships, and individual participation can be supported through various technologies. Examples are provided of how the Birdwatchers community and KM4Dev network demonstrate different orientations. The document is intended to help people identify what technologies and tools might best support their specific community's needs and activities.
The document discusses objectives for supporting the formation of an effective and sustainable community of practice (CoP) through the use of social software and community tools. The objectives are to: 1) support the JISC in forming the CoP; 2) provide infrastructure and tools for the CoP; 3) support the CoP through activities like workshops and training events; and 4) support development of new learning and teaching technologies. It aims to have groups share ideas to develop interrelated projects and for the community to guide, support, and facilitate its own formation and emergence.
The document discusses the role of technology stewards in online communities. It defines technology stewards as people with experience in both a community and technology who can understand a community's technology needs and address them. A technology steward's roles include selecting and configuring technology as well as supporting its use to enable community practices. The document also discusses how technology stewards can help address tensions between individual and group needs through the tools they implement and how they are used in a community.
Lecture1 San Sebastian 2007: Internet, electronic genre and writingVance Stevens
Lecture 1 is an explication of Web 2.0, multiliteracy, and its impact on the nature of learning in general, and on writing in particular. The first talk will draw from my online multiliteracies course:
This document discusses trends in online communities and learning. It explores how technology has changed how people interact in networks and communities. Some key points discussed include the roles people play as community leaders, technology stewards, or network weavers. The document also examines tensions between individual and group interactions online and different tools that can address these tensions by facilitating interactions, publishing, and both synchronous and asynchronous communications. Overall, the document considers how online spaces can be oriented towards meetings, projects, conversations, publishing content, building expertise, and cultivating relationships and communities.
The document discusses the concept of "community" and how it relates to learning. It explores where individuals, small groups, and large networks fall on a continuum and how people's efforts can be aimed at different points on this continuum. The document also considers how facilitating roles, practices, and enabling participation across this continuum could support learning and connection.
Habitats are specific places where living things live, and there are many different types of habitats on Earth including tropical rainforests, the Arctic region, temperate forests, deserts, and savannahs. Each habitat has different conditions depending on factors like location and climate, and habitats can be classified as humid, hot, cold, dry, warm or cool environments and also as water or land habitats.
The document summarizes various biomes that Samantha Boggs-Mackey visited and observed, including Osage State Park, Copan Lake, and the Caney River and Johnston Park areas. It lists animals, plants, and trees seen at each location, such as raccoons, owls, armadillos, cottonwood trees, and poison ivy. The purpose seems to be documenting the different species encountered in woodland, lake, river, and park biomes in Oklahoma.

This document provides information about habitats and the interactions between species within habitats. It begins with an introduction that outlines the key topics to be covered, including the variety of habitats, food relationships, and human impacts. It then defines what a habitat is and provides examples of different habitat types. The document discusses factors like temperature, resources, and biotic interactions that determine where organisms live. It also examines predation, competition, and symbiosis as examples of interactions within habitats. Finally, it introduces food chains and webs as ways energy transfers between organisms in a habitat.
2nd qtr 1 animals live in a particular habitatShirley Sison
This document discusses habitats and why animals live in particular environments. It explains that every animal has a habitat that provides its needs for food, water, and shelter. Students are divided into groups to observe pictures of animals in different habitats and write about what they eat and where they live. The habitats discussed are ponds, forests, seas, and deserts. Examples are given of common animals that live in each habitat and how the habitat meets their needs.
The document provides an overview of the major biomes on Earth, including freshwater, desert, tundra, grasslands, forest, and marine biomes. It classifies and describes the characteristics of different types within each biome. For example, freshwater biomes are classified as lakes and ponds, rivers and streams, and wetlands. Desert biomes include hot and dry, semi-arid, and coastal types. Each biome type has distinctive climate conditions and plant and animal life adaptations. Resources for further information are also listed.
This document discusses interactive teaching strategies to engage learners of all styles. It identifies the main learning styles as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Interactive teaching involves both the facilitator and learners, with questions and hands-on activities to stimulate discussion. Group work is highlighted as an effective strategy, as learners retain more when they discuss and apply the material. A variety of interactive techniques should be used to maintain interest, assess understanding, and make the session participatory.
Technology has changed what it means for people to "Be Together." We'll explore a tool to help look at how your learning community chooses to be together. The tool can be used to map activities to possible technologies, to assess the current status of a community or used to imaging the community's trajectory going forward.
This document discusses the concept of online community. It begins by questioning whether the concept of community is still relevant given changes from technology. It then examines different types of groups like individuals, small groups, and networks. It provides examples of two communities - Birdwatchers of Central Park that meets in person and KM4Dev, a knowledge sharing network. It discusses tools that communities can use like meetings, projects, expertise sharing, and cultivation. It concludes by considering how connectivity, technology landscapes, engagement, and geography may be reconfigured for online communities in the future.
This isn't what I thought it was: community in the network ageNancy Wright White
A narrated version can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB82kbj-NXw This was a short remote presentation that was part of a panel at the CACUSS 12.0: Engaging Digital Citizens conference <http: /> in Vancouver BC, Canada.
The document discusses considerations for designing online communities, focusing on both social and technical design elements. It notes that purpose, people, and processes are important for social design while tools and infrastructure are key for technical design. The document also addresses balancing togetherness and separateness, different community activities, and choosing appropriate tools and processes to support the community's purpose.
The document discusses using social media to enhance network effectiveness. It defines social media and outlines how it has grown significantly. It then discusses several key aspects to consider when using social media for a network, including understanding the network's objectives, audience, integrating social media with existing strategies, addressing potential cultural challenges, building capacity, choosing appropriate tools and tactics, measuring results, and experimenting with an iterative process.

Community orientations slide borrowed with permission from Nancy White: http://www.slideshare.net/choconancy/digital-habitats-community-orientation-spidergram-activity
An introduction to Web 2.0 from the Community of Practice perspective. The idea of this presentation is in how social media can be used to encourage and facilitate a community of practice.
Slides from my presentation at the European Foundation for Quality in Elearning about how we create connections (thus the Velcro TM) for learning anytime, anywhere.
The document discusses strategies for building successful virtual communities inside companies based on lessons from Web 2.0. It covers defining communities and their key elements: a domain of shared focus, a group of members, and a body of shared knowledge and practices. Wikis are one tool but may lead to too many isolated efforts without search; a single centralized wiki works better. Metrics are needed to demonstrate community value to users and management.
The document provides an overview of social networking tools for Web 2.0, including blogs, wikis, podcasts/vodcasts, notifications, tagging, and Twitter. It discusses features of these tools like allowing everyone to publish content and choose who they follow. Examples are given of open-source wikis and messaging applications that allow customizing conversations and profiles.
Digital media and e-learning provide a cost-effective means of reaching large widely-distributed communities and building their research capacity.
The session offers experiential advice on
- the strategies that could be adopted, particularly to support informal learning within communities
- the resources that are available and
- how these resources can be used to help build research capacity.
The document discusses knowledge management and how Web 2.0 tools can be used to share, innovate, reuse, collaborate and learn. It describes how knowledge exists everywhere and is impacted by different generations currently in the workforce. Web 2.0 allows knowledge to be decentralized, distributed and dynamic. Tools like blogs, wikis and social networking can help connect people and spread knowledge in new ways.
The document discusses how communities interact with and adopt different technologies. It explores various community orientations towards technologies including meeting-focused, expertise-focused, project-focused, and open conversation-focused. It uses examples like the MPD-L email list community and Ubuntu hackers community to illustrate different technology configurations and tool polarities communities adopt. The document advocates for designing technologies with an understanding of community perspectives, orientations, and how configurations emerge from activities over time.
Facilitating Online Interaction 4 Learning Resource SlidesNancy Wright White
This document summarizes a workshop on using community strategies for online learning. It discusses several topics:
1. The agenda for the workshop, which included forming goals, exercises, recaps and sharing resources.
2. An exercise where participants identified questions about using communities for online learning.
3. Different types of social learning communities and their purposes, structures, and how they evolve over time.
4. The importance of clearly defining a community's purpose and allowing its structure and activities to support that purpose.
5. Various activities that can be used in social learning communities to engage members, such as meetings, projects, expert support, and relationship building.
The document discusses various Web 2.0 tools like social networking sites, wikis, RSS feeds, and media sharing sites and their implications for libraries. It encourages libraries to embrace these new technologies and allow users to collaboratively share and generate knowledge using the library's online spaces. Some specific Web 2.0 tools highlighted include wikis for knowledge sharing among library staff and patrons, Twitter for news and event monitoring, Flickr and YouTube for media sharing, and SlideShare for sharing presentations. The document argues that libraries must actively engage with these new technologies and platforms or risk being left out of important conversations.

This document discusses the art of graphic facilitation, which uses visuals like diagrams, drawings, and charts to organize thoughts and capture ideas. Graphic facilitation can help groups listen, share identities, and negotiate together. It supports methods like World Cafe, Open Space, and strategic planning. While traditionally used for in-person meetings, visual techniques can also enhance phone calls and online meetings by helping participants "see" each other. Images created during discussions can establish context and create memories to continue the experience.

Community of Practice Roles and Facilitation - Girl Scouts L&D Conference Res...Nancy Wright White
Resource slides from my workshop on Community Roles and Facilitation, Girl Scouts of America Leadership and Development Conference, July 2010, Edith Macy Center, NY
We, Me and the Network: Girl Scouts Leadership & Development Conf KeynoteNancy Wright White
The document discusses concepts around learning in networks, communities, and as individuals. It introduces the concepts of "me, we, and networks" to represent learning at the individual, community, and network levels. Key ideas that are explored include reciprocal apprenticeship, belonging, applying gifts, participation versus reification, togetherness versus separateness, and roles people take on like facilitators, community leaders, and network weavers. The document encourages reflection on how these concepts apply to contexts like Girl Scouting and how to foster learning across different levels.
The document discusses different types of online groups - communities, networks, and social teams. Communities are defined by common interests of large groups, while networks are based on pre-existing relationships between individuals. Social teams are collections of individuals working together online to achieve a shared goal, and can be massive in scale. The document also examines polarities in online groups around togetherness/separateness and individual/group, and different roles people take on like facilitators, leaders, and content creators.
IST Africa - Professional Development in a Network EraNancy Wright White
The document discusses the power of collaborative learning through online conferences and communities. It highlights how technology has changed the way people can collaborate by allowing participation from diverse backgrounds and locations. Online conferences offer new ways of connecting people that are more flexible and participatory compared to traditional face-to-face conferences. Participants can engage in discussions forums, live online meetings, and share knowledge through various participation levels like lurking or actively contributing. Connecting practitioners in online networks and communities allows for continued learning, support, and innovation at the boundaries of different knowledge domains.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

This activity comes out of a chapter in our book that looks at the activity orientations of communities of practice and how this might drive both the technology stewardship and the overall community nurturing and leadership activities. In this context, we are using it to explore the application of social media to a particular goal you might have.
In our research of CoPs we noticed 9 general patterns of activities that characterized a community’s orientation. Most had a mix, but some were more prominent in every case. Image: Wenger, White and Smith, 2007
What was interesting was that these orientations had implications beyond communities. They could be a useful analysis, diagnostic and measurement tool for the application of social media to an organization’s work.
Before you do the Spidergram exercise, read through the orientations and think of some examples from a number of contexts. I’ll offer two examples as well in subsequent slides.
Here is an example drawn from the book “Red-Tails in Love: Pale Male’s Story -- A True Wildlife Drama in Central Park” by Marie Winn. Vintage Books, 2005 The book tells of a community of bird watchers in Central Park and exquisitely describes their practices. This is a predominantly face to face group that might use some social media, but not as their central way of interacting. They are a large, diverse group, but tightly geographically bound to Central Park in New York City. They might fill this spidergram differently than I might, but this is just an example!Image: Wenger, White and Smith, 2007
KM4Dev (http://www.km4dev.org) is a global network of practitioners interested in knowledge management and knowledge sharing in international development. Over 800 members are subscribed to the email list which had it’s origins in July 2000. It is both a well established but loosely bounded network that interacts primarily online, with once a year meetings that a small subset attend.
You can see how different groups have different priorities. It is a bit like a community activity “finger print.” The next step is to think about what tools support the different orientations.
Here are some examples of social media tools that support the orientations. Keep in mind that while a tool may have been designed for a specific purpose, people regularly and imaginatively use them in different ways.
A tech steward may be called upon to make sense of all the offerings of the market, scanning and selecting for her community. They start paying attention to working with the tensions between the individual and the group, synch and asynch group, interacting and publishing. Image credit: Wenger, White and Smith
What would your Spidergram look like? Think of a specific group or project that you want to explore. What activities do you need to support? Which are more important than others? Put a mark on the arrow to indicate how important a particular orientation is to your community. The more important the orientation, the further out on the arrow the dot should be placed. Then draw a line between the dots. Clarification: For context, towards the middle means a more inward (private) orientation and towards the outer edge a more public/open orientation.Discuss the spidergram with your group or community. Do they see it differently? Adjust your image to get the fullest view possible. Then, and only then, start thinking about tools. Always start with WHAT you want to do before the HOW!
Here is a blank template for you. You can do it in PowerPoint or print it off, do it by hand then scan or take a digital image to share back online with the rest of the group. Put a mark on the arrow to indicate how important a particular orientation is to your community. The more important the orientation, the further out on the arrow the dot should be placed. Then draw a line between the dots. See the next example.
