"For about 40 minutes in 2013, the world was in panic. Cloud services for internet retail giant Amazon had crashed. In less than an hour, Amazon had lost an estimated 5 million dollars in sales. It’s an operational standstill feared by cloud users and operators alike. Unfortunately, most methods for detecting the faults that lead to such crashes tend to be inefficient and inaccurate. But now, a team of researchers from China, Saudi Arabia, and the US has developed one of the best detection methods yet—based on a machine learning tool known as a support vector machine. A support vector machine is a classification-based learning algorithm. For the simple task of classifying circles by color, the algorithm takes a set of examples and determines the dividing line or plane that maximizes the separation between the two classes. That provides the widest margin of classification error, preventing any new circles from being mislabeled..."

"High-performance noise-canceling technology is literally music to our ears. It helps deliver the booming bass lines and crisp melodies as intended by the studio creatives that dream them up. But it could potentially save lives as well. Researchers from Northern Illinois University have designed new tech that blocks harmful noise from entering infant incubators. That technology could prove critical to the health of the countless fragile newborns admitted to neonatal intensive care units each year. Infants in neonatal intensive care units, or NICUs, are extremely sensitive to their surroundings. Numerous studies have shown that high-intensity noise can alter vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. While noise reduction programs have targeted staff behavior and recommended minor structural modifications, the NICU environment remains less than ideal. For the research team from Northern Illinois, that situation calls for a hard-wired solution..."

Welcome to the Open Pedagogy Student Toolkit! The goal of this toolkit is to provide you, the student, a self-paced resource that will guide you through the ins and outs of open pedagogy, including defining open pedagogy, the benefits of open pedagogy, and student creator rights.

How To Use This Toolkit

For Students: If this is your first time in a class that uses open pedagogy we are excited for you! Your instructor is working towards creating a more equitable and engaging environment for you to learn in, and this is an opportunity to take agency over your own educational experience. We hope this toolkit will provide the support you need to understand not only why your instructor is incorporating open pedagogy into your class, but also the benefits of open pedagogy, and your rights and responsibilities as a creator.

The toolkit is broken down into two parts: What is Open Pedagogy? and So You're the Creator, Now What? The first part will introduce you to open pedagogy, its benefits, and some examples you might experience in your class. The second part focuses on the more logistical side of open pedagogy: your rights and responsibilities as a creator and how to exercise those rights and responsibilities.

Your instructor might assign just a few chapters and sections of this toolkit to further build your knowledge on open pedagogy, or you might be asked to go through the whole toolkit at your own pace.

For Instructors: If this is the first time you are incorporating open pedagogy and renewable assignments into your class, congratulations! You are working towards creating a more equitable and engaging environment for you students to learn in and to take agency in their own education. With that said, there is a lot to think about to ensure that your students get the most out of their experience in your class. This toolkit is a resource to provide additional context, background, and scaffolding for your students on the basics of open pedagogy, the benefits of open pedagogy, and student creator rights and responsibilities.

You can adapt any section of this toolkit for your class, or use it as a whole to give your students a self-paced guide.

In CampGPT, educators experimented with generative AI-enabled tools like chatbots and image generators to learn and explore together. Their work and insights have been compiled in the Open Prompt Book from CampGPT. Throughout this prompt book, you’ll learn more about generative AI, what educators use it for, and key tips and tricks. The “Try It Out” links enable you to try the prompts in your own account (links for ChatGPT and Bard are provided). This means that, if you like an idea, you can start with the prompt in the book and then continue interacting with a chatbot to further adapt the output to your needs. In addition to the open prompts, we’ve included quotes from the educators from whom the ideas and prompts in this book were crowdsourced.

This lesson centers around the How AI Works: Privacy and the Future of Work video from the How AI Works video series. Watch this video first before exploring the lesson plan.

In small groups, students conduct research using articles and videos that expose ethical pitfalls in an artificial intelligence area of their choice. Afterward, each group develops at least one solution-oriented principle that addresses their chosen area. These principles are then assembled into a class-wide “Our AI Code of Ethics” resource (e.g. a slide presentation, document, or webpage) for AI creators and legislators everywhere.

This lesson can be taught on its own, or as part of a 7-lesson sequence on How AI Works. Duration: 45 minutes

"Researchers have developed a new method for teaching self-driving cars how to respond to emergencies. Unlike other approaches, which teach cars to respond according to hard and fast rules, this new method trains onboard computers to react like humans do. That unique ability could make self-driving cars vastly quicker at recognizing and avoiding potential accidents. Human drivers react instinctively to road hazards—whether that’s a car that brakes suddenly or a cyclist who rushes into traffic. It’s an ability that comes from years of experience and one that’s often taken for granted. As AI experts have learned, teaching computers to do the same is notoriously difficult. Rule-based methods provide basic functionality. But they tend to be very time-consuming and can’t account for unforeseen emergencies—two tremendous liabilities for self-driving cars..."

"Researchers from China have pooled together some of the most powerful techniques in machine learning to create the ultimate control system. Successfully deployed in AI-regulated hybrid electric vehicles, the framework could grant other autonomous systems unprecedented levels of control and foresight. Machine learning is booming. And arguably the most popular technique in this branch of artificial intelligence is deep reinforcement learning. Loosely modeled after our brains’ reward system, deep reinforcement learning has enabled machines to reach or even surpass human-level performance in various tasks. Those tasks range from the trivial, like playing Go or video games, to the possibly life-saving, such as detecting firearms from video. But deep reinforcement learning algorithms have their limitations. For one, they generally lack the ability to take lessons learned in one task and apply them to another..."

The People's Guide to Artificial Intelligence is an educational and speculative approach to understanding artificial intelligence (AI) and its growing impact on society. The 78-page booklet explores the forms AI takes today and the role AI-based technologies can play in fostering equitable futures. The project resists narratives of dystopian futures by using popular education, design, and storytelling to lay the groundwork for creative imaginings.

With over 305,000 open educational resources cataloged on OER Commons since 2007, ISKME works to make learning and knowledge sharing more participatory, equitable, and open, in pursuit of a more just society.

Those resources don’t describe themselves, though. The metadata of every resource in OER Commons was put together by someone before it got added to our collection, and then a librarian at ISKME reviewed it for quality – and that’s a lot of work, both in and out of house!

How much work? Well, if a librarian were to spend just five minutes on each record that ever found its way into our collection, that would take 25,433 hours. That’s enough time to…

- do 123 round trips to the moon (time to finally take that leave you’ve been saving)

- get 3,178 full nights of sleep (unless you’re a cat, then it’s only 1,413)

- walk 8 times from Cape Town to Copenhagen (we’re gonna need a bigger passport)

- work full-time for over 13 years (don’t worry, that excludes 4 weeks vacation)

All of that to say, metadata takes time.

It can be a challenge to balance metadata creation with other tasks like maintaining existing records, curation work, and supporting educational partners with curation. As such, we’re always on the lookout for tools and techniques that boost our capacity without compromising quality.

In 2023 and 2024, we’re testing out how generative AI tools like large language models can support our work in the OER landscape. This poster highlights some of the places where we’ve had successes, along with possible future applications that we think are both useful and doable.

14. Brave New World: Privacy, Data Sharing and Evidence Based Policy Making

The trifecta of globalization, urbanization and digitization have created new opportunities and challenges across our nation, cities, boroughs and urban centers. Cities in particular are in a unique position at the center of commerce and technology becoming hubs for innovation and practical application of emerging technology. In this rapidly changing 24/7 digitized world, governments are leveraging innovation and technology to become more effective, efficient, transparent and to be able to better plan for and anticipate the needs of its citizens, businesses and community organizations. This class will provide the framework for how cities and communities can become smarter and more accessible with technology and more connected.

As emerging technologies in artificial intelligence continue to evolve, their influence in educational settings is becoming increasingly significant. “The presence of AI systems and chatbots in education needs to be considered as an opportunity of development rather than a threat.” (Kooli, 2023). The primary objective of this guide is to assist you in navigating this new landscape. This guide will equip you to make informed decisions on how to proactively design and adapt your college courses for the age of AI.
