This document discusses the development of reusable and portable educational content in New Zealand schools. It outlines efforts to break dependencies between content and learning management systems by developing content that can be easily shared and reused across different platforms. A conceptual model was created based on workflow analysis. Wikis were identified as a way to enable authoring, sharing and ensuring interoperability of content. Three work streams were proposed to cover these areas as well as interoperability with multiple learning environments. Challenges around policies, politics and perceptions of open educational resources were also discussed.

Moodle: using an open learning management system to support student learningKeith Landa
2010 SUNY Freedonia Teaching and Learning conference - "Universal Design for Learning: Accessible and Assistive Technologies to Enhance Student Learning"
Session description: Over the past 18 months, Purchase College has migrated from Blackboard to Moodle for our campus learning management system. Our decision was partially driven by the lower total costs for Moodle as an open source product and our desire to avoid the risks and lack of control associated with commercial applications. Our primary consideration however was that Moodle provides a pedagogically stronger learning platform, and its openness allows us to integrate it with other learning applications that faculty would like to use to promote student engagement.
This session will focus on the pedagogical aspects of Moodle as a learning platform. We will briefly discuss the process and findings Purchase College used to develop a consensus among faculty, students and technology staff to switch to Moodle. Participants will then spend the bulk of the session in a directed exploration of the diverse learning activities in Moodle that promote student engagement and learning, to facilitate discussion of how Moodle compares to ANGEL and Blackboard. We will examine examples of how Moodle’s open architecture allows it to integrate with external Web 2.0 applications, and finally discuss options for no-cost hosted Moodle solutions that will allow participants to evaluate Moodle for their campuses.

"From Making to Learning" : Dev Camps as a Blueprint for Re-inventing Project...Irene-Angelica Chounta
Dev Camps are events that enable participants to tackle challenges using software tools and different kinds of hardware devices in collaborative project style activities. The participants conceptualize and develop their solutions in a self-directed way, involving technical, organizational and social skills. In this sense, they are autonomous producers or " makers ". The Dev Camp activity format resonates with skills such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, decision making and planning and can be considered as a bridge between education and industry. In this paper we present and analyze experience from a series of such events that were co-organized between an industrial partner acting as a host and several university partners. We take this as an indication to envision new opportunities for project-based learning in more formal educational scenarios.
Thompson Rivers University implemented a distributed project management system called Data For the People (D4P) to improve their online course development process. D4P is an open source platform built on a MySQL database that allows different teams and roles to enter and access information. A survey found it improved work effectiveness for 68% of users and made searching and entering data easy. D4P provides a common information source and supports communication, though some resistance remains to data entry. It has helped manage curriculum development more successfully as online learning has grown at the university.
The document discusses considerations for starting an OpenCourseWare (OCW) project at an institution. It covers structuring an OCW team, choosing technologies, developing curriculum and content, managing intellectual property, and assessing the project.

Key factors addressed include institutional culture and resources, stakeholder buy-in, intellectual property policies, and evaluating the project's impact and communicating results.
This document discusses using postgraduate students to support the sustainability of open educational resources (OER). It argues that students have the time and skills needed to adapt existing materials through tasks like copyright clearance and curation, but may lack the subject knowledge for generating new content. A case study found students effectively adapted materials under lecturer guidance. The document concludes that students are best used as "capacitators" or helping hands in the OER process rather than solely seeking materials, and could also contribute pedagogically if involved in early design. Overall, OER requires more time than closed materials, so sustainability efforts need to acknowledge this cost.
- The document discusses aligning design creativity in educational practice with effective use of technology and pedagogical principles. It proposes the learning design methodology to make the design process more explicit, shareable, and informed.
- Key aspects of the Open University Learning Design Initiative are presented, including tools to visualize designs, methods to share ideas through events and cloudworks, and an emerging evidence base to understand the design process.
- Various forms of representing designs are described, such as task swimlines, course maps, and pedagogy profiles, to help designers see curriculum differently and foreground different aspects.
The document discusses challenges related to adopting and implementing e-learning programs. It identifies challenges that can arise before adoption, such as ensuring e-learning aligns with institutional goals and assessing infrastructure requirements.

An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
