  • Data Science Symposium Programme
    Welcome to the Data Science Symposium 2016 Introduction In the current Information Age, data has become a commodity that is driving development crucial to future economic success, particularly for service-based economies such as the UK. The potential to transform the economic landscape is tantalising, from providing business with strategic advantage or new services, to revolutionising medical diagnostics, among many other benefits to society. However this potential cannot be realised unless new methods for handling, analysing, and extracting knowledge from data are made available. This is particularly relevant in the context of Big Data, where scalable techniques and algorithms are vitally important. The emerging field of Data Science usually refers to the interface between Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science that is providing the much sought novel techniques and approaches arising from the cross-fertilisation of ideas between these complementary domains. Data Science is rapidly gathering momentum, and suggests promising new research avenues in the near future. In recognition of this momentum, EPSRC have established the Alan Turing Institute to promote advanced research and translational work in the application of data science, acknowledging that this requires leadership both in advanced mathematics and in computing science. Set in the heart of the gorgeous New Forest, this Data Science Symposium organised by the University of Southampton brings together a multi-institutional, high-profile panel of speakers to promote the cross-fertilisation of ideas between the different domains of Data Science and discuss the prospects of this emerging field in the near future. This event is financed through the EPSRC Institutional Sponsorship grant ‘Southampton Data Science’.

The framework captures 1) how engagement with OER manifests itself in people’s behaviours and attitudes in various stages of progression from novice to expert users and 2) what factors impinge on a person’s engagement with OER. In this paper we apply the framework retrospectively to the disciplinary context of language teaching. This exercise has two aims. First, we use the framework to assess the degree to which teachers at the Department of Languages, The Open University, UK, have engaged with OER reuse following the introduction of LORO, a departmental open repository of teaching materials for languages.

  • Information Sheet 4: Campus Facilities & Support
    Information Sheet 4: Campus facilities & Support 1 Student ID Card “ecUM” The “ecUM” card is the student card for the University of Mannheim. The card, which can be topped up to pay for particular services, functions as as library card (i.e. to borrow books), photocopy and print documents, and can be used to pay for meals in the cafeteria (“Mensa” or EO), and for the washing machines in the MBS apartments. Additionally, the card works as a key to MBS course locations, the MBS Lecture Hall, and the Education Center Dalbergplatz (ECD). The MBA Program Management will arrange a time during the kick-off week in Term 1 for obtaining the ecUM card. Exchange students who will stay longer than two weeks will receive their ecUM card on the first day of their course for a deposit of €20. The deposit will be refunded once the students have returned the card to Program Management. Adding money to the ecUM card is only possible via “Autoload.” This process ensures that the card will be topped up automatically from a German bank account once the amount of money falls below the selected minimum credit. For this purpose, registration (done at the ecUM center inside the main library building or the Infothek in the Mensa building) and a German bank account are necessary. Hence, this might not be possible for MBS exchange participants who are only in Mannheim for a short period of time. In case the ecUM card is lost, a fee of €15 applies to receive a replacement card. All information on ecUM card could be found through weblink: http://www.uni-mannheim.de/rum/ueber_uns/arbeitsgruppen/ivs/ecum/ .
