Delivery Slip Name Partner Date From Teemu Patala ULS 14/03/2019 UPATRAS, Reviewed by Vasileios Gkamas, Ivaylo Gueorguiev 22/03/2019 ESI CEE Approved by Maria Rigou UPATRAS 29/03/2019 SEnDIng © Members of SEnDIng project 3 / 39 PROJECT SUMMARY SEnDIng project aims to address the skills’ gap of Data Scientists and Internet of Things engineers that has been identified at the ICT and other sectors (e.g. banking and energy) at which Data Science and Internet of Things have broad applications. To achieve this goal, SEnDIng will develop and deliver to the two aforementioned ICT-related occupational profiles two learning outcome-oriented modular VET programmes using innovative teaching and training delivery methodologies. Each VET program will be provided to employed ICT professionals into three phases that include: (a) 100 hours of on-line asynchronous training, (b) 20 hours of face-to-face training and (c) 4 months of work-based learning. A certification mechanism will be designed and used for the certification of the skills provided to the trainees of the two vocational programs, while recommendations will be outlined for validation, certification & accreditation of provided VET programs. Furthermore, SEnDIng will define a reference model for the vocational skills, e- competences and qualifications of the targeted occupational profiles that will be compliant with the European eCompetence Framework (eCF) and the ESCO IT occupations, ensuring transparency, comparability and transferability between European countries. Various dissemination activities will be performed – including the organization of one workshop at Greece, Bulgaria and Cyprus and one additional conference at Greece at the last month of the project – in order to effectively disseminate project’s activities and outcomes to the target groups and all stakeholders. Finally, a set of exploitation tools will be developed, giving guides to stakeholders and especially companies and VET providers, on how they can exploit project’s results.

  • Fall Academic and Course Planning Task Force Final Report-6-21-2020
    1 | Page Fall Academic and Course Planning Task Force Report 2 | Page Dear Colleagues, During the spring semester, I was heartened to see how quickly our University community adap- ted, both to the sudden closure of our campus and the rapid move to online learning and operations. It was evidence of how much we can accomplish together. We continue to address another challenge: Develop and execute an academic plan for the safe resumption of a fall term that includes a mixture of in-person and online learning. With that as the goal, the Fall Academic and Course Planning Task Force has created this plan, which provides the best possible educational experience for our students in an environment that complies with health guidelines concerning the pandemic and ensures we can safely learn, teach and work. This plan represents the work of eight sub-task forces and more than 80 staff and faculty leading an effort that remains collaborative, cross-functional and representative of the innovation and ingenuity that UTA has in abundance. Through surveys sent to students, staff and faculty, we sought input from thousands of members of the UTA community as we sought to develop specific guidelines for course development, curricular modality, scheduling, international student issues and communications. When the Maverick community resumes on-campus classes and operations this fall, things will look and feel different from past semesters. What won’t change is our determination to keep the best interests of our students at the center of all we do, and to continue to care for the health, safety and well-being of our Maverick community.

  • Testing of Support Tools for Plagiarism Detection
    Testing of Support Tools for Plagiarism Detection Version 1.0; 11th of February 2020 Tomáš Foltýnek*, Mendel University in Brno, Czechia and University of Wuppertal, Germany, [email protected] Dita Dlabolová, Mendel University in Brno, Czechia, [email protected] Alla Anohina-Naumeca, Riga Technical University, Latvia, [email protected] Salim Razı, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Turkey, [email protected] Július Kravjar, Slovak Centre for Scientific and Technical Information, [email protected] Laima Kamzola, Riga Technical University, Latvia, [email protected] Jean Guerrero-Dib, Universidad de Monterrey, Mexico, [email protected] Özgür Çelik, Balikesir University, Turkey, [email protected] Debora Weber-Wulff, HTW Berlin, Germany, [email protected] * Corresponding author Abstract There is a general belief that software must be able to easily do things that humans find difficult. Since finding sources for plagiarism in a text is not an easy task, there is a wide-spread expectation that it must be simple for software to determine if a text is plagiarized or not. Software cannot determine plagiarism, but it can work as a support tool for identifying some text similarity that may constitute plagiarism. But how well do the various systems work? This paper reports on a collaborative test of 15 web-based text-matching systems that can be used when plagiarism is suspected. It was conducted by researchers from seven countries using test material in eight different languages, evaluating the effectiveness of the systems on single- source and multi-source documents. A usability examination was also performed. The sobering results show that although some systems can indeed help identify some plagiarized content, they clearly do not find all plagiarism and at times also identify non-plagiarized material as problematic.
