Trust Levels Definition on Virtual Learning Platforms Through Semantic Languages

Trust level concept is a topic that has opened a knowledge area about the profile evaluation and the people participation in Social Networks. These have presented a high knowledge profit, but at the same time it is necessary to analyze a group of variables to determine the trust participants' degree. In addition, this is a topic that from some years ago has been presenting a big expectation to settle some alternatives to generate confidence in an activer community on internet. To establish these parameters it is important to define a model to abstract some variables that are involved in this process. For this, it is relevant to take into account the semantic languages as one of the alternatives that allow these kinds of activities. The purpose of this article is to analyze the Trust Levels definition in the contents that are shared on Open Source Virtual learning Platforms through the use of a model of representation of semantic languages. The last ones allow determining the trust in the use of learning objects that are shared in this kind of platforms

IMPLEMENTASI FUNGSI KEPEMIMPINAN KEPALA SEKOLAH DI SD INPRES ARMOPA IV BONGGO KABUPATEN SARMI

The aim of the study was to describe the implementation of school principal leadership in decision making, instruction, consultation, participation, and delegates’ roles. This study used descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. The data source were from the school principal, teachers, school committee and supervisors. The data collection techniques were in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The data validation technique was using extension of involvement, the persistent of observation, triangulation and peer reviews. The result of the research showed that the school principal of the Armopa IV Elementary School on Bonggo has implemented the 5 leadership roles which were (1) the principal in making decision involved the teachers and school committee, considering public interests, dare to make decisions on all the consequences, wise and open. (2) Instruction role showed that the principal mandates the teachers to have learning preparations such as Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP).

Open Government Data : Open Data Pada Sektor Pendidikan Dalam Mendukung Kebijakan

Disruptive technology pushes digitization acceleratingly and impacts on education sector so that the learning process to be more effective and efficient. Many problems arise in the education sector that can be solved by the government’s policy based on data. The purpose of this research is to analyze the concept of open data that plays a role in the evidence-based decision-making process by utilizing e-government. The analysis uses the principle of Open Government where the government increases transparency, accountability, and participation through open data. This study shows data were collected through the literature review method and pays attention to the credibility of the data source. The results show open data development innovations in the public sector especially in the field of education: Dapodik, PD Dikti, and EMIS. Open Government Data was created to support appropriate policies, so it is very important to present open data that must be complete, valid, integrated, and transparent (relate to the quality of school or map of education quality by region).Kemajuan teknologi menciptakan digitalisasi di berbagai bidang yang kemudian mendorong konteks baru dalam model interaksi pendidikan menjadi lebih efektif dan efisien. Berbagai macam permasalahan yang muncul di bidang pendidikan dapat diselesaikan dengan adanya dukungan pemerintah. Dukungan tersebut melalui kebijakan bantuan di bidang pendidikan yang diputuskan berbasis data. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis tentang konsep open data yang berperan pada proses pengambilan keputusan berbasis bukti dengan memanfaatkan e-government. Analisis tersebut menggunakan prinsip Open Government dimana pemerintah meningkatkan transparansi, akuntabilitas, dan partisipasi melalui open data. Data pada penelitian ini dikumpulkan melalui metode literature review dan tetap memperhatikan kredibilitas sumber data. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya inovasi pembangunan open data di bidang pendidikan: Dapodik, PD Dikti, dan EMIS. Open Government Data diciptakan untuk mendukung kebijakan agar tepat, maka sangat penting untuk menghadirkan open data yang lengkap, valid, terintegrasi, dan transparan (transparan mengacu kepada data kualitas sekolah atau peta kualitas pendidikan berdasarkan wilayah)

Attempts to Replicate the Skills, Attributes and Capabilities Associated with International Mobility in an Online World: A Case Study

In recent years, obstacles to physical mobility, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, have hastened the turn towards online platforms for educational and social activities. Many study abroad programs have had to adapt to such circumstances and embrace virtual environments in the face of limited physical mobility. In this case study, we look at how one multi-university program, the UGPN Academy, was able to expand international student learning efforts despite travel limitations due, in part, to adapting to online communication technologies and environments. Through comparison of surveys administered to participants pre- and post-participation, students reported that having an online community as a source of social support, as well as learning about different experiences during a global pandemic, were two strengths of the program. In addition, students reported becoming more familiar with different online technologies as well as feeling more open to people from diverse backgrounds and international careers. These findings contribute to a further understanding of Internationalisation at Home (IaH) as a useful model that can be extremely valuable in its own right. Although IaH is not a replacement for physical mobility, it may provide its own benefits, such as providing a collaborative, diverse online community as a source of social and professional support, networking and opportunities for international learning experiences for students who are unable to participate in traditional study abroad programs. Diversifying and further integrating such virtual platforms can then be seen as a part of best practices rather than a replacement for traditional modes of international cultural exchange

Benchmarking and monitoring of urban design and transport features is crucial to achieving local and international health and sustainability goals. However, most urban indicator frameworks use coarse spatial scales that either only allow between-city comparisons, or require expensive, technical, local spatial analyses for within-city comparisons. This study developed a reusable, open-source urban indicator computational framework using open data to enable consistent local and global comparative analyses. We show this framework by calculating spatial indicators-for 25 diverse cities in 19 countries-of urban design and transport features that support health and sustainability. We link these indicators to cities' policy contexts, and identify populations living above and below critical thresholds for physical activity through walking. Efforts to broaden participation in crowdsourcing data and to calculate globally consistent indicators are essential for planning evidence-informed urban interventions, monitoring policy effects, and learning lessons from peer cities to achieve health, equity, and sustainability goals.P30 DK092950/DK/NIDDK NIH HHSUnited States/U48 DP006395/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHSUnited States/R01 CA198915/CA/NCI NIH HHSUnited States
