Elgg is a social ePortfolio platform that allows learners to create their own digital identity and learning landscape. It provides a learner-controlled space for exploring, reflecting, and interacting with others around common interests. Elgg aims to be interoperable with other tools through open standards and allows users to choose which tools they integrate. The platform includes blogging, wikis, and other social features to help users build an identity and portfolio that can be shared and used to make connections. Developers are working to better integrate Elgg with the Moodle learning management system. Future plans include improving user interfaces and developing additional components like resume building.
The document discusses the shift from formal institutional learning environments to personal learning environments (PLEs) that recognize individual-driven lifelong learning. PLEs allow learning to occur across different contexts using various tools and take into account informal learning. They provide access to educational technologies for organizing one's own learning, including workplace and home learning. PLEs also facilitate connecting people and applications to support exploring ideas through trying things and social, concrete learning.
The document discusses the benefits and drawbacks of different types of media for learning, including text-based media, still and time-based media (STBM), and immersive media (DIM).
For text-based media, the benefits are that it can be used by all age groups and is portable. However, it is less engaging for younger generations and does not allow for customization. STBM benefits include effective knowledge acquisition and decreased cognitive load, but younger users can become overstimulated. DIM is highly interactive but is still age exclusive due to its newness. All three media types need to be combined and enhanced with digital tools to engage diverse learners.

CBL teaches 21st century skills through authentic projects, uses technology for collaboration, and allows students to publish their work. It assesses both the problem solving process and the quality of students' solutions.

TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...TrustArc
Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer!
The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide.
To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally
- Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines

Radically Outperforming DynamoDB @ Digital Turbine with SADA and Google CloudScyllaDB
Digital Turbine, the Leading Mobile Growth & Monetization Platform, did the analysis and made the leap from DynamoDB to ScyllaDB Cloud on GCP. Suffice it to say, they stuck the landing. We'll introduce Joseph Shorter, VP, Platform Architecture at DT, who lead the charge for change and can speak first-hand to the performance, reliability, and cost benefits of this move. Miles Ward, CTO @ SADA will help explore what this move looks like behind the scenes, in the Scylla Cloud SaaS platform. We'll walk you through before and after, and what it took to get there (easier than you'd guess I bet!).
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.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
