By exploring the experiences of community activists and organizations working with information and communication technology (ICT) to build communities, this book offers a grounded and informed study of the role ICT plays in people's lives. The author emphasizes the importance of networks built around trust, shared spaces and local knowledge bases in the formation of significant relationships in contemporary Western societies and in doing so, questions many of the assumptions which inform the rhetorics of the information age.

What does God's creation of humanity through the process of evolution mean for human flourishing? The emerging field of evolutionary psychology remains controversial, perhaps especially among Christians. Yet according to Justin Barrett and Pamela Ebstyne King it can be a powerful tool for understanding human nature and our distinctively human purpose. Thriving with Stone Age Minds provides an introduction to evolutionary psychology, explaining key concepts like hyper-sociality, information gathering, and self-control. Combining insights from evolutionary psychology with resources from the Bible and Christian theology, Barrett and King focus fresh attention on the question, What is human flourishing? When we understand how humans still bear the marks of our evolutionary past, new light shines on some of the most puzzling features of our minds, relationships, and behaviors. One key insight of evolutionary psychology is how humans both adapt to and then alter our environments, or "niches." In fact, we change our world faster than our minds can adapt—and then gaps in our "fitness" emerge. In effect, humans are now attempting to thrive in modern contexts with Stone Age minds. By integrating scientific evidence with wisdom from theological anthropology, we can learn to close up nature-niche gaps and thrive, becoming more what God has created us to be. BioLogos Books on Science and Christianity invite us to see the harmony between the sciences and biblical faith on issues including cosmology, biology, paleontology, evolution, human origins, the environment, and more.

There is considerable interest in education around the world in flexible thinking and learning skills but very little consensus as to the nature of these skills and how best to promote them in schools. This book puts forward a clear and practical framework for understanding thinking, creativity and learning to learn as the fruits of engagement in dialogue. It also outlines in detail how this framework can be applied to teaching across the curriculum at both primary and secondary level, drawing on the best practices associated with the teaching thinking; creativity; and learning to learn movements explaining their success in terms of dialogic theory. In particular the book incorporates aspects of a number of thinking skills approaches, such as Lipman�s Philosophy for Children approach, as well as features of contemporary innovations in education such as assessment for learning and the development of creativity. Each chapter opens with a vignette to set the scene and continue into a light and popularly written exposition of theory, before moving on to a description of practice and concluding with practical guidelines for how to teach for thinking and creativity in schools and classrooms. The first six chapters in the book have more of a focus on developing core theoretical themes and the following six chapters in the second half of the book focus more on practice-led themes. The relationship between theory and practice is treated as flexible and dynamic, theory being developed by practice as much as practice implementing theory.

In Dialogic: Education for the Internet Age, Rupert Wegerif argues that the traditional model of schooling, is built on the logic of print and tends to assume that there is a single true representation of reality, which schools exist to transmit to new generations.

Crowdsourcing, or asking the general public to help contribute to shared goals, is increasingly popular in memory institutions as a tool for digitising or computing vast amounts of data. This book brings together for the first time the collected wisdom of international leaders in the theory and practice of crowdsourcing in cultural heritage. It features eight accessible case studies of groundbreaking projects from leading cultural heritage and academic institutions, and four thought-provoking essays that reflect on the wider implications of this engagement for participants and on the institutions themselves. Crowdsourcing in cultural heritage is more than a framework for creating content: as a form of mutually beneficial engagement with the collections and research of museums, libraries, archives and academia, it benefits both audiences and institutions. However, successful crowdsourcing projects reflect a commitment to developing effective interface and technical designs. This book will help practitioners who wish to create their own crowdsourcing projects understand how other institutions devised the right combination of source material and the tasks for their ‘crowd’. The authors provide theoretically informed, actionable insights on crowdsourcing in cultural heritage, outlining the context in which their projects were created, the challenges and opportunities that informed decisions during implementation, and reflecting on the results. This book will be essential reading for information and cultural management professionals, students and researchers in universities, corporate, public or academic libraries, museums and archives.

This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research provides practical insight and guidance to campus leaders who are attempting to accelerate the transformation of their campuses to meet the challenges and opportunities of the Knowledge Age. This insight is drawn from case studies and vignettes from nearly twenty campuses that have succeeded in leveraging the forces of transformation on their campuses. They have achieved this leverage through multifaceted change initiatives that involve a collection of actions: (1) developing vision and strategy for the Knowledge Age, (2) conducting campuswide dialogue on change, (3) dramatically enhancing information technology infrastructure and skills, (4) redirecting existing institutional processes, (5) crafting new learning processes and products, and (6) changing the campus culture. The volume concludes with a presentation of the five families of basic competencies necessary for particular academic programs or campuses to succeed in the twenty-first century: (1) planning and change processes operating at Knowledge Age standards of timeliness, customization, and flexibility; (2) advanced IT infrastructure and skills in its use; (3) a new generation of tools for learning, interactivity, certification of mastery, and personal productivity; (4) new financial paradigms; and (5) supercharged strategic alliances. This is the 94th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Institutional Research. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.

Effective evaluation and measurement of learning and development initiatives is critical to maximise the impact of training, identify gaps for improvement and ensure that efforts are aligned to the business' needs. Learning Analytics outlines how analytical approaches can respond to these challenges, the types and benefits of technological solutions and how to ask the right questions of organizational data in order to build a learning organization that boosts performance and competitive advantage. Drawing upon case studies from organizations who have applied such approaches such as The Gap, Hilton Worldwide University and Seagate Technology, Learning Analytics will enable those involved in learning and development to make the business case for their activities and deliver an evidence-based service to their organizations. Alongside updated chapters on learning technology tools and moving beyond learning analytics to talent management analytics, this second edition also features new content on measuring informal learning, increasing data literacy, and framing L&D's contributions through a portfolio evaluation approach.

The rate of change throughout the world is increasing, which creates chaos, threats, and opportunities. Even regions that were once remote are now connected in a growing global communications and information web. Welcome to the Age of Knowledge, where disruptive technologies may arise at any time, from anywhere. Think Uber, Airbnb, and others. In the Age of Knowledge information and technology are easy to acquire and it doesn't take a large infrastructure and organization to manifest capabilities that disrupt and transform even established markets. All it takes is an idea, some talent, and the initiative to birth the idea. As technology becomes increasingly easy to use and access to networks and bandwidth expands, disruptive technology can come from anywhere at any time.Thrive in the Age of Knowledge is a practitioner's guide to understand a complex and rapidly changing chaotic environment and transforming to thrive within it. It provides actionable ideas and capabilities to help people and organizations understand the Age of Knowledge and move beyond simply surviving the chaos to transforming themselves and their environment and thriving. Key new concepts include Revolutionary Learning Organizations and "Plexecution". Organizations continually learn and go beyond "adapting" to transforming. They continually plan and execute and learn from the changes they create in the environment and the changes they detect in a continuous sensing of the environment through open filters.The Age of Knowledge is significantly different than the Information Age or the Industrial Age and the skills required to adapt and to thrive are significantly different. We've seen change and chaos before, but never on this magnitude and impact. Skills and tools that worked in the Information Age may be all but useless in the Age of Knowledge and may even hinder people's and organizations' ability to transform and to thrive in this new environment. Continuous learning and cognitive integration throughout an organization are vital to thriving. Effective organizations will build a culture based on trust and learning and invest in cognitive capabilities for both the people in the organization as well as the organization itself. This means a new approach to organizational learning that is revolutionary rather than adaptive and includes Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning. The organization must develop a strong cognitive foundation that helps it to see emerging trends and proactively shape them.This book is organized into several sections designed to help you understand and master the aspects of the Age of Knowledge and then develop the skills to thrive in it. You can read the parts or chapters in any order that makes sense to you. The book is heavily cross-referenced to provide navigation to the material you may have skipped or want to review.Part I The Age of KnowledgePart II Understanding the Environment and DataPart III Knowledge EnablementPart IV Learning Enablement ServicePart V Cognitive FoundationPart VI Strategic and Operational PlanningPart VII ExecutionPart VIII Mission Service ManagementPart IX LeadershipParts II-V provide the tools and capabilities to enable Parts VI-VIII. The final part, Leadership, provide some leadership considerations and tools to manage the integration and the execution of all components. These sections help to build the Cognitive Foundation.Each part consists of several chapters that provide foundational concepts and a final chapter that ties them together and provides a capability design. Each chapter has several Critical Thinking Notes that help you to relate the concepts to your own organization and ends with a practical exercise to help you crystalize your understanding of the concepts in the chapter and apply them to a practical situation.The thread that ties these parts together is leadership, culture, and critical thinking.
