Building the HIVe: disrupting biomedical HIV and AIDS research with gay men, other men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgenders
Networked and digital technologies now mediate the sexual behaviors of many gay men, other men that have sex with men and transgenders, challenging the effectiveness of biomedical HIV/AIDS research and prevention practices. Driven by the normative positivist philosophy of science, these approachesâwhile paramount to fighting the epidemicâhave neglected to rethink their ontological and epistemological assumptions when confronting the social drivers of HIV. Building the HIVe responds by forefronting community-based and led sociological HIV/AIDS research and prevention that addresses digitally mediated and driven sexual behaviors. The HIVe disrupts biomedical approaches by building an accessible and dynamic social science research community engaged in reflexive performativity to improve the health and human rights of marginalized communities disproportionately at risk of HIV/AIDS

The genesis and development of mobile learning in Europe
In the past two decades, European researchers have conducted many significant mobile learning projects. The chapter explores how these projects have arisen and what each one has contributed, so as to show the driving forces and outcomes of European innovation in mobile learning. The authors identify context as a central construct in European researchersâ conceptualizations of mobile learning and examine theories of learning for the mobile world, based on physical, technological, conceptual, social and temporal mobility. The authors also examine the impacts of mobile learning research on educational practices and the implications for policy. Finally, they suggest future challenges for researchers, developers and policy makers in shaping the future of mobile learning
DMSTE publications & research projects : a catalogue of publications and research projects by members of the Department of Mathematics, Science & Technical Education within the Faculty of Education of the University of Malta
This catalogue charts the past and present research and gives a direction for future initiatives. As such, it celebrates the past while looking at the future. Like the Maltese rubble wall, the catalogue stretches across different landscapes, is made up of unique pieces of stone all of different shapes and sizes, but as they come together they build a solid wall. As each stone (or each research project) is pieced together to shape the rubble wall, they join older stones (older research projects), building on without obscuring each other. And as the rubble wall is formed, it changes the landscape according to the different needs of the society that is building it. Like the changing face of the rubble wall, the catalogue is not a static historical record but a process of collective learning, the narrative of a research journey and the reflections of a departmental community of practice that continues to change and evolve through the academic conversations and research initiatives.peer-reviewe
Educational Technology and Related Education Conferences for January to June 2011 - November 11, 2010
If you attend the same conferences each year, you donât need to scan this list. This list is your opportunity to âpush the envelopeâ by trying something new. There are hundreds of professional development events that may give you a different perspective or help you learn a new skill. Rather than attend the same event you always do, scan this list and investigate conferences, symposiums, or workshops you have never attended. The list below covers selected events focused primarily on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until June 2011 are complete as dates, locations, or URLs are not available for a number of events held after June 2011. A Word 2003 format is used to enable people who do not have access to Word 2007 or higher version and those with limited or high-cost Internet access to find a conference that is congruent with their interests or obtain conference proceedings. (If you are seeking a more interactive listing, refer to online conference sites.) Consider using the âFindâ tool under Microsoft Wordâs âEditâ tab or similar tab in OpenOffice to locate the name of a particular conference, association, city, or country. If you enter the country âUnited Kingdomâ in the âFindâ tool, all conferences that occur in the United Kingdom will be highlighted. Then, âcut and pasteâ a list of suitable events for yourself and your colleagues. Please note that events, dates, titles, and locations may change; thus, CHECK the specific conference website. Note also that some events will be cancelled at a later date. All Internet addresses were verified at the time of publication. No liability is assumed for any errors that may have been introduced inadvertently during the assembly of this conference list. If possible, please do not remove the contact information when you re-distribute the list as that is how I receive updates and corrections. If you publish the list on the web, please note its source
An open learning environment for the diagnosis, assistance and evaluation of students based on artificial intelligence
The personalized diagnosis, assistance and evaluation of students in open learning environments can be a challenging task, especially in cases that the processes need to be taking place in real-time, classroom conditions. This paper describes the design of an open learning environment under development, designed to monitor the comprehension of students, assess their prior knowledge, build individual learner profiles, provide personalized assistance and, finally, evaluate their performance by using artificial intelligence. A trial test has been performed, with the participation of 20 students, which displayed promising results
Educational Technology and Related Education Conferences for June to December 2011
This potpourri of educational technology conferences includes gems such as âSaving Your Organisation from Boring eLearningâ and âLessons and Insights from Ten eLearning Mastersâ. And, if you wish, you can âBe an Open Learning Heroâ. You will also find that the number of mobile learning conferences (and conferences that have a mobile learning component) have increased significantly. Countries such as China, Indonesia, Japan, and Thailand have shown a keen interest in mobile learning.
It would be impossible for you to be present at all the conferences that you would like to attend. But, you could go to the conference website/url during and after the conference. Many conference organizers post abstracts, full papers, and/or videos of conference presentations. Thus, you can visit the conference virtually and may encounter information and contacts that would be useful in your work.
The list below covers selected events focused primarily on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until December 2011 are complete as dates, locations, or URLs are not available for a number of events held after December 2011. But, take a look at the conference organizers who planned ahead in 2012.
A Word 2003 format is used to enable people who do not have access to Word 2007 or higher version and those with limited or high-cost Internet access to find a conference that is congruent with their interests or obtain conference proceedings. (If you are seeking a more interactive listing, refer to online conference sites.) Consider using the âFindâ tool under Microsoft Wordâs âEditâ tab or similar tab in OpenOffice to locate the name of a particular conference, association, city, or country. If you enter the country âAustraliaâ or âSingaporeâ in the âFindâ tool, all conferences that occur in Australia or Singapore will be highlighted. Or, enter the word âresearchâ. Then, âcut and pasteâ a list of suitable events for yourself and your colleagues.
