Technology and Society Conference 1

Dear Delegate,

Welcome to the Eleventh International Conference on Technology, Knowledge, and Society.

The conference and its associated journal were created to provide a transdisciplinary forum that examines the relationship between technology, knowledge, and its societal context. This is a forum that brings together a diverse range of researchers, teachers, and practitioners. It serves as a meeting point for technologists and those who may work in non-technological areas, but are nevertheless concerned with the social impact and import of technology. The conversations that result are informed by theory, empirical data, and application, and encompass a broad variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives.

This year’s conference follows a string of successful meetings over the last few years, including Madrid, Spain in 2014, Vancouver, Canada in 2013, Los Angeles, USA in 2012, Bilbao, Spain in 2011, and Berlin in 2010. We are happy to announce that the 2016 conference will be held 18-19 February at the Universidad de Buenos Aires in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Conference presenters have the option to submit their articles into the fully peer-reviewed, print plus electronic journal collection, The Technology Collection. We would also like to invite conference participants to develop publishing proposals for original works in our Technology and Society Book Series, or for edited collections of papers drawn from the journal which address an identified theme.

In addition to the Technology and Society Conference, Common Ground hosts conferences and publishes journals in other areas of critical intellectual human concern, including diversity, learning, climate change, sustainability, and interdisciplinary social sciences, to name several. Our aim is to create new forms of knowledge community, where people meet in person and also remain connected virtually, making the most of the potentials for access using digital media.

Thank you to everyone who has put such a phenomenal amount of work into preparing for this conference. I would particularly like to thank my Common Ground Colleagues, including Rachael Arcario, Monica Hillison, and Kim Kendall, as well as our counterparts at Common Ground Spain, Karim Gherab-Martín, Raquel Jimenez, and Ana Quintana. We wish you all the best for this conference, and hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from around the corner and around the world.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Phillip Kalantzis-Cope Director, Common Ground Publishing

Technology and Society Conference 2

Our Mission Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to share that knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books, and innovative software, we build transformative knowledge communities and provide platforms for meaningful interactions across diverse media.

Our Message Heritage knowledge systems are characterized by vertical separations—of discipline, professional association, institution, and country. Common Ground identifies some of the pivotal ideas and challenges of our time and builds knowledge communities that cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of the humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology’s connections with knowledge, the changing role of the university—these are deeply important questions of our time which require interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground is a meeting place for these conversations, shared spaces in which differences can meet and safely connect—differences of perspective, experience, knowledge base, methodology, geographical or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. We strive to create the places of intellectual interaction and imagination that our future deserves.

Our Media Common Ground creates and supports knowledge communities through a number of mechanisms and media. Annual conferences are held around the world to connect the global (the international delegates) with the local (academics, practitioners, and community leaders from the host community). Conference sessions include as many ways of speaking as possible to encourage each and every participant to engage, interact, and contribute. The journals and book series offer fully- refereed academic outlets for formalized knowledge, developed through innovative approaches to the processes of submission, peer review, and production. The knowledge community also maintains an online presence—through presentations on our YouTube channel, monthly email newsletters, as well as Facebook and Twitter feeds. And Common Ground’s own software, Scholar, offers a path-breaking platform for online discussions and networking, as well as for creating, reviewing, and disseminating text and multi-media works.

Common Ground España

Since its inception, Common Ground Publishing has been committed to building bridges between different languages and cultures, crossing the geographical and linguistic boundaries that slow down the free flow of ideas between the countless communities that populate the planet. We are truly committed to diversity, and that is why we are striving to create synergies between the English, Spanish, and Portuguese-speaking knowledge communities that meet every year at the conference, and that interact through the scholarly journals, the book series, and the social networks.

To fulfil this ideal, Common Ground Publishing has launched Common Ground Publishing España in order to create and develop Latin American knowledge communities based on the Spanish and Portuguese languages and cultures, crossing geographic, linguistic, and cultural borders. Each of these knowledge communities holds an annual academic conference (which takes place in parallel to Common Ground's conferences in English) and manages a peer reviewed scholarly journal, a book series, and a number of social networks that allow scholars and practitioners to interact with other peers coming from different geographical, institutional, and cultural origins, as well as to strengthen interdisciplinary discussions.

For the time being, Common Ground Publishing España, whose headquarters are located at the Research Park of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, has developed ten Latin American knowledge communities; Learning; E-Learning and Innovative Pedagogies; Science in Society; Interdisciplinary Social Sciences; On the Organization; New Directions in the Humanities; The Image; Book and Libraries; Health, Wellness, and Society; and Technology, Knowledge, and Society. Technology and Society Conference 3

The Technology, Knowledge, and Society knowledge community is dedicated to the concept of independent, peer-led groups of scholars, researchers, and practitioners working together to build bodies of academic knowledge related to topics of critical importance to society at large. Focusing on the intersection of academia and social impact, the Technology, Knowledge, and Society knowledge community brings an interdisciplinary, international perspective to discussions of new developments in the field, including research, practice, policy, and teaching.

Whether it is our awareness of the world through the media, formal or informal learning, shopping, banking, travelling or communicating, digital technologies are everywhere. The hardware is getting less expensive relative to the power of the technology. Meanwhile, a battle is being fought in the domain of intellectual property between software that is proprietary and sometimes closed, and software that is open and sometimes free.

How do we understand and evaluate the workings of these technologies? To answer this question we need to recruit the disciplines of computer science, software engineering, communications systems and applied linguistics. We need to develop and apply the conceptual tools of cybernetics, informatics, systemics and the theory of distributed networks. And how do we understand their effects? Here we may consider the impact of the new media, intelligent systems or human-machine interfaces.

Communities In earlier modern times, information and communications technologies centralized power, knowledge and culture. They were built with heavy plant and physical infrastructure — the printing presses, the transmission stations and the transport and distribution systems that only the larger corporation or the state could afford. They were centralized, driven by economies of (large) scale and dominated on a day-to-day basis by those with economic resources, political power and elite cultural networks.

The new digital technologies are free or cheap. They are instantaneous and global. They are decentralized and distributed. And so, it is argued that they open out and provide broader access to the means of production and communication of meaning. They are the bases for an electronic democracy, participatory design and communities of practice. They allow a myriad of cultures, interests and knowledge communities to flourish. Technology and Society Conference 5

Or at, least, this is one interpretation. In bleaker views, they add a digital divide to older historical cleavages of inequality. They daze us into passivity, They place our every movement under surveillance. They enforce a sedentary compliance.

Learners There is little doubt that ‘e-learning’ is destined to become a larger part of the experience of learning at school, in universities, on the job, at home — indeed, lifelong and lifewide learning. Technology is now a central concern of education, not only from the point of view of preparing students for a world of work where networked computers are pervasive, but also from the point of view of community participation and citizenship. Learners who are excluded from the new information spaces, will clearly be economically, socially and culturally disadvantaged.

At its best, e-learning is a refreshingly new medium with a pedagogically new message. However, as the critics of e-learning rightly point out, much of what passes for e-learning is lock-step, mechanical and individualized (one user/one screen), reflecting and reproducing pedagogies that are best dubious and at worst regressive.

On the other hand, a more optimistic view notes the capacity of the new information and communication technologies to transform learning relationships. Instead of being the recipients of transmitted knowledge (syllabuses, textbooks, ‘information’ resources), institutions of learning might become places where teachers and learners develop knowledge banks, and where traditional classrooms, dominated by teacher talk, are replaced by open learning in which groups of students work autonomously and collaboratively on knowledge projects within a structured ‘content management’ environment. By these means, the role of the learner is transformed from knowledge consumer to knowledge producer.

Knowledge The world is moving into a phase that is widely, and perhaps too glibly at times, referred to as a ‘knowledge economy’ or ‘knowledge society’. Information and communications technologies, and their human effects, play a central part in this development.

These digital technologies allow new, bottom-up structures of knowledge to emerge, building from the collaborative endeavors of knowledge creating communities — in, for instance, workplaces, schools and associations of common interest. In each case, they provide the means by which personal knowledge may be shared and transformed into common knowledge. From being receptors of knowledge, persons, organizations and communities become makers and publishers of knowledge, reversing at least in part the fundamental epistemic flows of modernity and replacing this with a new ‘dialogics’ of knowledge.

This conference, journal, book imprint and online media provide a forum for discussion of the connections between technology and society. The perspectives presented range from big picture analyses which address global and universal concerns, to detailed case studies which speak of localized applications of technology. Conference presentations and publications traverse a broad terrain, sometimes technically and other times socially oriented, sometimes theoretical and other times practical in their perspective, and sometimes reflecting dispassionate analysis while at other times suggesting interested strategies for action.

THE TECHNOLOGY COLLECTION AND BOOK SERIES

About Our Publishing Approach For three decades, Common Ground Publishing has been committed to creating meeting places for people and ideas. With 24 knowledge communities, Common Ground’s vision is to provide platforms that bring together individuals of varied geographical, institutional, and cultural origins in spaces where renowned academic minds and public thought leaders can connect across fields of study. Each knowledge community organizes an annual academic conference and is associated with a peer-reviewed journal (or journal collection), a book imprint, and a social media space centered on Common Ground’s pathbreaking ‘social knowledge’ space, Scholar.

Through its publishing practices, Common Ground aims to foster the highest standards in intellectual excellence. We are highly critical of the serious deficiencies in today’s academic journal system, including the legacy structures and exclusive networks that restrict the visibility of emerging scholars and researchers in developing countries, as well as the unsustainable costs and inefficiencies associated with traditional commercial publishing.

In order to combat these shortcomings, Common Ground has developed an innovative publishing model. Each of Common Ground’s knowledge communities organizes an annual academic conference. The registration fee that conference participants pay in order to attend or present at these conferences enables them to submit an article to the associated journal at no additional cost. Scholars who cannot attend the conference in-person may still participate virtually and submit to the journal by obtaining a community membership, which also allows them to upload a video presentation to the community’s YouTube channel. By using a portion of the conference registration and membership fees to underwrite the costs associated with producing and marketing the journals, Common Ground is able to keep subscription prices low, thus guaranteeing greater access to our content. All conference participants and community members are also granted a one-year complimentary electronic subscription to the journal associated with their knowledge community. This subscription provides access to both the current and past volumes of the journal. Moreover, each article that we publish is available for a $5 download fee to non- subscribers, and authors have the choice of publishing their paper open access to reach the widest possible audience and ensure the broadest access possible.

Common Ground’s rigorous peer review process also seeks to address some of the biases inherent in traditional academic publishing models. Our pool of reviewers draws on authors who have recently submitted to the journal, as well as volunteer reviewers whose CVs and academic experience have been evaluated by Common Ground’s editorial team. Reviewers are assigned to articles based on their academic interests and expertise. By enlisting volunteers and other prospective authors as peer reviewers, Common Ground avoids the drawbacks of relying on a single editor’s professional network, which can often create a small group of gatekeepers who get to decide who and what gets published. Instead, Common Ground harnesses the enthusiasm of its conference delegates and prospective journal authors to assess submissions using a criterion-referenced evaluation system that is at once more democratic and more intellectually rigorous than other models. Common Ground also recognizes the important work of peer reviewers by acknowledging them as Associate Editors of the volumes to which they contribute.

For over ten years, Common Ground has been building web-based publishing and social knowledge software where people can work closely to collaborate, create knowledge, and learn. The third and most recent iteration of this project is the innovative social knowledge environment, Scholar. Through the creation of this software, Common Ground has sought to tackle what it sees as changing technological, economic, distributional, geographic, interdisciplinary and social relations to knowledge. For more information about this change and what it means for academic publishing, refer to The Future of the Academic Journal, edited by Bill Cope and Angus Phillips (Elsevier 2009).

We hope that you will join us in creating dialogues between different perspectives, experiences, knowledge bases, and methodologies through interactions at the conference, conversations online, and as fully realized, peer-reviewed journal articles and books.

Full articles can be submitted using Common Ground’s online conference and article management system CGPublisher. Below please find step-by-step instructions on the submission process.

1. Submit a presentation proposal to the conference (in-person or virtual). The theme that you select when you submit your paper will help determine which thematically focused journal will consider your article for publication.

2. Once your conference proposal or paper abstract has been accepted, you may submit your article to the journal by clicking “add a paper” from your proposal/abstract page. You may upload your article anytime between the first and the final submission deadlines, which can be found on the next page.

3. Once your article is received, it is verified against template and submission requirements. Your identity and contact details are then removed, and the article is matched to two appropriate reviewers and sent for review. You can view the status of your article at any time by logging into your CGPublisher account at www.CGPublisher.com.

4. When reviewer reports are uploaded, you will be notified by email and provided with a link to view the reports (after the reviewers’ identities have been removed).

5. If your article has been accepted, you will be asked to accept the Publishing Agreement and submit a final copy of your article. If your paper is accepted with revisions, you will be asked to submit a change note with your final submission, explaining how you revised your article in light of the reviewers’ comments. If your article is rejected, you may resubmit it once, with a detailed change note, for review by new reviewers.

6. Accepted articles will be typeset and the proofs will be sent to you for approval before publication.

7. Individual articles may be published online first with a full citation. Full issues follow at regular, quarterly intervals. All issues are published 4 times per volume (except the annual review, which is published once per volume).

8. Registered conference participants will be given online access to the journal from the time of registration until one year after the conference end date. Individual articles are available for purchase from the journal’s bookstore. Authors and peer reviewers may order hard copies of full issues at a discounted rate.

SUBMISSION TIMELINE

Below are the 2015 submission deadlines* for The Technology Collection:

• Submission Round 2 – 15 April • Submission Round 3 – 15 July • Submission Round 4 – 15 October

*You may submit your final paper for publication to the journal at any time throughout the year. However, the sooner you submit, the sooner your paper will begin the peer review process. Also, as we publish "web first," early submission means that your paper is published online as soon as it is ready, even if that is before the full issue is published. However, if you submit after the final deadline, your paper may be included in a subsequent volume.

JOURNAL SUBSCRIPTIONS, OPEN ACCESS, ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Institutional Subscriptions Common Ground offers print and electronic subscriptions to all of its journals. Subscriptions are available to the full collection, individual journals within the collection, and to custom suites based on a given institution’s unique content needs. Subscription prices are based on a tiered scale that corresponds to the full-time enrollment (FTE) of the subscribing institution. You may use the Library Recommendation form in the back of this pamphlet to recommend that your institution subscribe to the Technology Collection.

Personal Subscriptions As part of their conference registration, all conference participants (both virtual and in-person) have a one-year online subscription to the Technology Collection. This complimentary personal subscription grants access to both the current volume of the [journal or collection] as well as the entire backlist. The period of complimentary access begins at the time of registration and ends one year after the close of the conference. After that time, delegates may purchase a personal subscription. To view articles, go to http://ijt.cgpublisher.com/. Select the “Login” option and provide a CGPublisher username and password. Then, select an article and download the PDF. For lost or forgotten login details, select “forgot your login” to request a new password.

For more information, please visit: http://techandsoc.com/publications/journal/subscriptions-and-orders or contact us at [email protected].

Hybrid Open Access The journals in the Technology Collection are all Hybrid Open Access. Hybrid Open Access is an option increasingly offered by both university presses and well-known commercial publishers.

Hybrid Open Access means that some articles are available only to subscribers, while others are made available at no charge to anyone searching the web. Authors pay an additional fee for the open access option. They may do this because open access is a requirement of their research funding agency. Or they may do it so that non-subscribers can access their article for free.

Common Ground’s open access charge is $250 per article, a very reasonable price compared to our hybrid open access competitors and purely open access journals that are resourced with an author publication fee. Electronic papers are normally only available through individual or institutional subscriptions or for purchase at $5 per article. However, if you choose to make your article Open Access, this means that anyone on the web may download it for free.

There are still considerable benefits for paying subscribers, because they can access all articles in the journal, from both current and past volumes, without any restrictions. But making your paper available at no charge increases its visibility, accessibility, potential readership, and citation counts. Open access articles also generate higher citation counts.

For more information or to make your article Open Access, please contact us at [email protected].

Institutional Open Access Common Ground is proud to announce an exciting new model of scholarly publishing called Institutional Open Access.

Institutional Open Access allows faculty and graduate students to submit articles to Common Ground journals for unrestricted open access publication. These articles will be freely and publicly available to the whole world through our hybrid open access infrastructure. With Institutional Open Access, instead of the author paying a per-article open access fee, institutions pay a set annual fee that entitles their students and faculty to publish a given number of open access articles each year.

The rights to the articles remain with the subscribing institution. Both the author and the institution can also share the final typeset version of the article in any place they wish, including institutional repositories, personal websites, and privately or publicly accessible course materials. We support the highest Sherpa/Romeo access level—Green.

For more information on Institutional Open access or to put us in touch with your department head or funding body, please contact us at [email protected].

THE TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY BOOK IMPRINT

Common Ground is setting new standards of rigorous academic knowledge creation and scholarly publication. Unlike other publishers, we’re not interested in the size of potential markets or competition from other books. We’re only interested in the intellectual quality of the work. If your book is a brilliant contribution to a specialist area of knowledge that only serves a small intellectual community, we still want to publish it. If it is expansive and has a broad appeal, we want to publish it too, but only if it is of the highest intellectual quality.

Individual, Innovation, and the Internet: Why Access is Essential

Lucy Cradduck

The text contextualizes for policy makers and legislatures why it is essential to ensure that individuals have appropriate access to the internet and what can be done to achieve it. The interrelationship/overlap between why access is essential, how it can be achieved and the central role of the individual to the internet economy is explored and translated into the concept of connectedness. From this, solutions for ensuring connectedness for all individuals are developed.

Pedagogy Leads Technology: Online Learning and Teaching in Higher Education: New Technologies, New Pedagogies

Arianne Rourke and Kathryn Coleman (eds.)

This book highlights research and practice where pedagogy effectively utilises as well as leads the technology in teaching, learning and assessment in higher education. The examples provided, not only highlight how teaching practice can become research, an important focus for 21st century academics, but also provides exemplary case studies and theoretical perspectives on the importance of a student-centred approach to adopting technology for teaching and learning.

Electronic Communication in Developing Countries

Connie S. Eigenmann (ed.)

Five years ago, they had never used the internet; but now, respondents overwhelmingly report that they are using computers to send e-mail, play games, access information, listen to music, develop literacy skills, and enroll in e-courses. Developing countries are using cellular telephones and internet interconnectivity even more than countries nearly saturated with these devices and conveniences. What can we learn from Oman, Pakistan, India, China, South Sudan, and others? The collection of data put forth in this volume comes at a critical time for exploring shifts in communication practices that are occurring in developing nations.

Collected Essays on learning and Assessment in the Digital World

James Paul Gee

Collected Essays on Learning and Assessment in the Digital World brings together some of James Paul Gee’s most important papers on learning. Gee has argued for a view of learning that integrates digital media, embodied experiences in the world, language, and collaborative activities that encourage collective intelligence. While he has argued that good video games incorporate cutting-edge approaches to learning and teaching, he argues, as well, that games need to be part of larger learning systems that network them with forms of collaborative interactions and other learning tools and activities. These papers also relate deep learning to new conceptions of educational equity and opportunity to learn, and news ways of thinking about collective action and design in the digital age.

Acerca de nuestro enfoque editorial

Durante 29 años, Common Ground Publishing se ha comprometido con la creación de lugares de encuentro de personas e ideas. Con 10 comunidades de conocimiento en español y portugués y 24 comunidades en inglés, la visión de Common Ground es proveer plataformas que reúnan a personas de diversos orígenes geográficos, institucionales y culturales en espacios donde académicos y otros profesionales puedan conectar por igual a través de distintos campos interdisciplinares de estudio. Cada comunidad de conocimiento realiza un congreso académico anual alrededor del mundo y está asociada a una Revista revisada por pares (o a una colección de Revistas), una colección de Libros y un serie de redes sociales, en torno a un nuevo “espacio social de conocimiento” realmente disruptivo diseñado y desarrollado por Common Ground: Scholar (http://cgscholar.com/).

A través de sus servicios editoriales, Common Ground tiene como objetivo fomentar los más altos estándares de excelencia intelectual. Somos muy críticos con las graves deficiencias que existen en el actual sistema de publicaciones académica, incluyendo las estructuras existentes y las redes exclusivas que restringen la visibilidad de los académicos e investigadores emergentes en los países en desarrollo, así como los costes e ineficiencias insostenibles asociados con la edición comercial tradicional.

Para combatir estas deficiencias, Common Ground ha desarrollado un modelo de publicación innovador. Cada una de las comunidades de conocimiento de Common Ground organiza un congreso académico anual. La cuota de inscripción que pagan los participantes del congreso por asistir y presentar en estos congresos, les permite enviar un artículo a la revista (o colección de revistas) asociada sin coste adicional. Así, los autores pueden realizar una presentación en un congreso científico de su área de investigación, incorporar las críticas constructivas que reciben en respuesta a su presentación y, a continuación, enviar un artículo sólido para su revisión por pares, sin que el autor tenga que pagar una tasa adicional. Los académicos que no puedan asistir al congreso en persona, pueden participar de forma virtual, opción que les permite enviar un artículo a la revista. Usando una parte de la cuota de inscripción para financiar los costes asociados a la producción y comercialización de las revistas, Common Ground es capaz de mantener unos precios de suscripción bajos, facilitando así el acceso a todos nuestros contenidos. Todos los participantes del congreso, tanto presenciales como virtuales, pueden subir sus presentaciones al canal de YouTube de Common Ground, además de tener una suscripción electrónica gratuita a la revista por un periodo de un año. Esta suscripción permite el acceso a todos los números, presentes y pasados, de la revista en español/portugués y a la revista (o colección de revistas) en inglés. Además, cada artículo que publicamos está disponible de forma individual con una tarifa de descarga de $5 para los no abonados, y los autores disponen de la opción de publicar su artículo en acceso abierto para llegar así a una mayor audiencia y garantizar la difusión más amplia posible.

El riguroso proceso de revisión de Common Ground trata también de abordar algunos de los sesgos inherentes a los tradicionales modelos de editoriales académicas. El conjunto de evaluadores está compuesto de autores que han presentado recientemente artículos a la revista, así como de revisores voluntarios cuyos currículos y experiencia académica han sido evaluados por el equipo editorial de Common Ground. Los artículos son asignados a revisores en base en sus intereses académicos y experiencia. Al tener voluntarios y a otros autores como posibles revisores, Common Ground evita los inconvenientes de depender de la red profesional de un solo editor, que con más frecuencia de la deseable conlleva la creación de grupos de arbitraje cerrado que deciden qué y quién publica. En cambio, Common Ground aprovecha el excelente talante de los participantes del congreso y de los autores de las revistas para evaluar los trabajos, utilizando un sistema de evaluación basado en criterios más democráticos e intelectualmente más rigurosos que otros modelos tradicionales. Common Ground también reconoce la importante labor de los revisores, nombrándoles Editores Asociados de los volúmenes en los que contribuyen.

A través de la creación de un software asombrosamente innovador, Common Ground también ha comenzado a hacer frente a lo que considera como un cambio en las relaciones tecnológicas, económicas, geográficas, interdisciplinarias, sociales y de distribución y difusión del conocimiento. Desde hace más de diez años hemos estado construyendo una editorial muy mediada por las tecnologías web y las nueves redes sociales, donde la gente pueda trabajar en estrecha colaboración para aprender, crear y compartir conocimiento. La tercera y última iteración de este proyecto es un entorno social de conocimiento pionero Technology and Society Conference 17

llamado Scholar (http://cgscholar.com/). Esta plataforma informática posee un lugar donde los académicos pueden conectarse en red y dar visibilidad a sus investigaciones a través de una librería personal.

Esperamos que se unan a nosotros en la creación de diálogos entre diferentes perspectivas, experiencias, áreas de conocimiento y metodologías a través de las interacciones en el seno del congreso, las conversaciones online, los artículos para la revista o la colección de libros (ambas revisadas por pares).

Revista Internacional de Tecnología, Conocimiento y Sociedad La Revista Internacional de Tecnología, Conocimiento y Sociedad ofrece un espacio para el diálogo y la publicación de teorías y prácticas innovadoras que relacionan la tecnología, el conocimiento y la sociedad. Su ámbito de aplicación es interdisciplinar y proporciona un punto de encuentro entre tecnólogos preocupados por los asuntos sociales y filósofos, sociólogos, educadores y humanistas interesados en la tecnología. La atención principal se centra en aquellas tecnologías que pueden tener influencia en los medios de producción y distribución del conocimiento y, por tanto, muy especialmente en las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación.

Igualmente, la Revista está dirigida a los interesados en la dinámica de las tecnologías sociales, entendida como factor de integración social desde los ideales de una sociedad abierta en la que la tecnología se usa para satisfacer las necesidades humanas y servir los intereses comunitarios. Estas preocupaciones se basan en los valores de creatividad, innovación, acceso, igualdad y autonomía comunitaria. En este espacio, los intereses comerciales y comunitarios se complementan entre sí, y en otros casos parecen estar en desacuerdo. La revista examinará la naturaleza de las nuevas tecnologías, sus conexiones con la comunidad, sus usos como herramientas para el aprendizaje y su lugar en una ‘sociedad del conocimiento’.

La perspectiva de los análisis presentados alcanza un panorama que se refiere tanto a las preocupaciones globales y universales como a los casos de estudios que hablan de las aplicaciones sociales y locales de la tecnología. Las artículos abarcan un terreno amplio, algunas veces de orientación técnica y otras de orientación social, unas veces incluyen una perspectiva teórica y otras una aproximación práctica, unas veces reflejan un análisis objetivo y desapasionado, y en otras ocasiones sugieren estrategias para la acción.

La revista es pertinente para académicos pertenecientes a los campos de la informática, la nanotecnología, la biotecnología, la historia y filosofía de la ciencia, la epistemología, la sociología del conocimiento, la sociología de la tecnología, la innovación, la educación, la gestión, la política científica y tecnológica, las humanidades digitales, las redes sociales, etc. La revista está abierta a estudiantes, investigadores, desarrolladores de tecnologías, formadores, consultores tecnológicos, gestores de I+D+i, etc.

La Revista Internacional de Tecnología, Conocimiento y Sociedad es revisada por expertos y respaldada por un proceso de publicación basado en el rigor y en criterios de calidad académica, asegurando así que solo los trabajos intelectuales significativos sean publicados.

Technology and Society Conference 20

THE TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY CONFERENCE

Conference Principles and Features The structure of the conference is based on four core principles that pervade all aspects of the knowledge community:

International This conference travels around the world to provide opportunities for delegates to see and experience different countries and locations. But more importantly, the Technology and Society Conference offers a tangible and meaningful opportunity to engage with scholars from a diversity of cultures and perspectives. This year, delegates from over 30 countries are in attendance, offering a unique and unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with colleagues from all corners of the globe.

Interdisciplinary Unlike association conferences attended by delegates with similar backgrounds and specialties, this conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and scholars from a wide range of disciplines who have a shared interest in the themes and concerns of this community. As a result, topics are broached from a variety of perspectives, interdisciplinary methods are applauded, and mutual respect and collaboration are encouraged.

Inclusive Anyone whose scholarly work is sound and relevant is welcome to participate in this community and conference, regardless of discipline, culture, institution, or career path. Whether an emeritus professor, graduate student, researcher, teacher, policymaker, practitioner, or administrator, your work and your voice can contribute to the collective body of knowledge that is created and shared by this community.

Interactive To take full advantage of the rich diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives represented at the conference, there must be ample opportunities to speak, listen, engage, and interact. A variety of session formats, from more to less structured, are offered throughout the conference to provide these opportunities.

Session Descriptions Plenary Sessions Plenary speakers, chosen from among the world’s leading thinkers, offer formal presentations on topics of broad interest to the community and conference delegation. One or more speakers are scheduled into a plenary session, most often the first session of the day. As a general rule, there are no questions or discussion during these sessions. Instead, plenary speakers answer questions and participate in informal, extended discussions during their Garden Sessions.

Garden Sessions Garden Sessions are informal, unstructured sessions that allow delegates a chance to meet plenary speakers and talk with them at length about the issues arising from their presentation. When the venue and weather allow, we try to arrange for a circle of chairs to be placed outdoors.

Talking Circles Held on the first day of the conference, Talking Circles offer an early opportunity to meet other delegates with similar interests and concerns. Delegates self-select into groups based on broad thematic areas and then engage in extended discussion about the issues and concerns they feel are of utmost importance to that segment of the community. Questions like “Who are we?”, ”What is our common ground?”, “What are the current challenges facing society in this area?”, “What challenges do we face in constructing knowledge and effecting meaningful change in this area?” may guide the conversation. When possible, a second Talking Circle is held on the final day of the conference, for the original group to reconvene and discuss changes in their perspectives and understandings as a result of the conference experience. Reports from the Talking Circles provide a framework for the delegates’ final discussions during the Closing Session.

Technology and Society Conference 21

Paper Presentations Paper presentations are grouped by general themes or topics into sessions comprised of three or four presentations followed by group discussion. Each presenter in the session makes a formal twenty-minute presentation of their work; Q&A and group discussion follow after all have presented. Session Chairs introduce the speakers, keep time on the presentations, and facilitate the discussion. Each presenter's formal, written paper will be available to participants if accepted to the journal.

Colloquium Colloquium sessions are organized by a group of colleagues who wish to present various dimensions of a project or perspectives on an issue. Four or five short formal presentations are followed by commentary and/or group discussion. A single article or multiple articles may be submitted to the journal based on the content of a colloquium session.

Workshop/Interactive Session Workshop sessions involve extensive interaction between presenters and participants around an idea or hands-on experience of a practice. These sessions may also take the form of a crafted panel, staged conversation, dialogue or debate – all involving substantial interaction with the audience. A single article (jointly authored, if appropriate) may be submitted to the journal based on a workshop session.

Focused Discussion Session For work that is best discussed or debated, rather than reported on through a formal presentation, these sessions provide a forum for an extended “roundtable” conversation between an author and a small group of interested colleagues. Several such discussions occur simultaneously in a specified area, with each author’s table designated by a number corresponding to the title and topic listed in the program schedule. Summaries of the author’s key ideas, or points of discussion, are used to stimulate and guide the discourse. A single article, based on the scholarly work and informed by the focused discussion as appropriate, may be submitted to the journal.

Poster Sessions Poster sessions present preliminary results of works in progress or projects that lend themselves to visual displays and representations. These sessions allow for engagement in informal discussions about the work with interested delegates throughout the session.

Virtual Presentations If unable to attend the conference in person, an author may choose to submit a virtual presentation. Opportunities and formats vary but may be a presentation through our YouTube channel or an online discussion with interested delegates at the conference. Abstracts of these presentations are included in the online “session descriptions,” and an article may be submitted to the journal for peer review and possible publication, according to the same standards and criteria as all other journal submissions.

A Digital Learning Platform Use Scholar to Support Your Teaching

Scholar is a social knowledge platform that transforms the patterns of interaction in learning by putting students first, positioning them as knowledge producers instead of passive knowledge consumers. Scholar provides scaffolding to encourage making and sharing knowledge drawing from multiple sources rather than memorizing knowledge that has been presented to them.

Scholar also answers one of the most fundamental questions students and instructors have of their performance, "How am I doing?" Typical modes of assessment often answer this question either too late to matter or in a way that is not clear or comprehensive enough to meaningfully contribute to better performance.

A collaborative research and development project between Common Ground and the College of Education at the University of Illinois, Scholar contains a knowledge community space, a multimedia web writing space, a formative assessment environment that facilitates peer review, and a dashboard with aggregated machine and human formative and summative writing assessment data.

The following Scholar features are only available to Common Ground Knowledge Community members as part of their membership. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like the complimentary educator account that comes with participation in a Common Ground conference.

• Create projects for groups of students, involving draft, peer review, revision and publication. • Publish student works to each student’s personal portfolio space, accessible through the web for class discussion. • Create and distribute surveys. • Evaluate student work using a variety of measures in the assessment dashboard.

Scholar is a generation beyond learning management systems. It is what we term a Digital Learning Platform—it transforms learning by engaging students in powerfully horizontal ‘social knowledge’ relationships. For more information, visit: http://knowledge.cgscholar.com.
