I've found, as the result of several searches, the the term networked learning is less mentioned in educational bibliography: published articles, books, and in activities like congress, workshops, etc.
Is this really happening? Is not the activity reflected by the concept currently relevant or simply its identification has been substituted by other?
What is your opinion in that regard?
Relevant answer
Luis de la Torre But probably you have heard "aprendizaje en red". It's the same. The last is the translation of the former term, in use during the last 20 or so years.
Regarding the extension of both, just trying a search in Scholar Google one can obtain not less than 3000000 results, among them many results from the Distance Educations Spanish community.
This concept is strongly related to the connectivist approach in Education, mainly virtual, and with the concepts of Web 2.0 and Personal Learning Environment (PLE) all they in use in the context of distance, specifically virtual Education.

This dataset, available at https://zenodo.org/records/11711230, contains the data of 4011 videos about the ongoing outbreak of measles published on 264 websites on the internet between January 1, 2024, and May 31, 2024. These websites primarily include YouTube and TikTok, which account for 48.6% and 15.2% of the videos, respectively. The remainder of the websites include Instagram and Facebook as well as the websites of various global and local news organizations. For each of these videos, the URL of the video, title of the post, description of the post, and the date of publication of the video are presented as separate attributes in the dataset.
After developing this dataset, sentiment analysis (using VADER), subjectivity analysis (using TextBlob), and fine-grain sentiment analysis (using DistilRoBERTa-base) of the video titles and video descriptions were performed. This included classifying each video title and video description into (i) one of the sentiment classes i.e. positive, negative, or neutral, (ii) one of the subjectivity classes i.e. highly opinionated, neutral opinionated, or least opinionated, and (iii) one of the fine-grain sentiment classes i.e. fear, surprise, joy, sadness, anger, disgust, or neutral. These results are presented as separate attributes in the dataset for the training and testing of machine learning algorithms for performing sentiment analysis or subjectivity analysis in this field as well as for other applications. The paper associated with this dataset (please see the following citation) also presents a list of open research questions that may be investigated using this dataset.
Please cite the following paper when using this dataset:

In which levels of education (primary school, secondary school, high school, university) and which skills should we prefer to use augmented reality applications and web 2.0 tools in foreign language teaching?
Relevant answer
Answer
In general, augmented reality applications and Web 2.0 tools could be useful in foreign language teaching across all levels of education, from primary school to university, as they can provide engaging and interactive ways for students to practice and improve their language skills. Some possible examples of effective use cases could include creating immersive language learning experiences through virtual and augmented reality, using online resources and social media platforms to connect students with native speakers and other learners of the language, and providing gamified language learning tools that make language learning more fun and motivating for students. However, the specific strategies and tools used should always be tailored to the individual teaching context and the needs of the students.

Relevant answer
Answer
La didattica superiore a Ddi (didattica Integrata a Distanza) prevede che le informazioni siano comunicate in modo da essere il meno impersonali possibile. Quindi il docente deve imparare a comunicare con gli studenti come se fosse in presenza, pur tenendo sempre presente che la distanza materiale può creare in chi ascolta l'idea di virtualità non pertinente. Allo stesso tempo sarebbe opportuno preparare prima gli studenti su tecniche che permettono loro di sentirsi coinvolti e in gruppo pur essendo separati gli uni dagli altri e dal docente. Insomma, bisogna creare uno spazio virtuale che però non venga percepito come tale.

Relevant answer
Answer
Are you looking out for easy ways to download someone’s tweets or their entire Twitter archive?
While Twitter allows users to download the Twitter archive from their own accounts, you need to get it from third-party tools like Followersanalysis ( https://www.followersanalysis.com/download-someone-elses-twitter-archive ) if you need a Twitter archive from some other account.
It is a paid Twitter analytics tool that can help you download any public Twitter users’ tweets. It is an effective tool that not only helps you access the tweets but also helps in analyzing your Twitter followers. It is a feature-packed tool that can help perform a tweet analysis along with evaluating the quality of the followers of the targeted Twitter profile.

I'm brand new to social network analysis. I'm trying to identify meme creators in twitter. Is there a way to do this using data downloaded from twitter? 
Relevant answer
Answer
From data downloaded by the Twitter Streaming API, you can verify if the tweet is a retweet through the 'retweeted' field included in the json of the status (it is a boolean value), in which case the media may be included in the original tweet, which you can access by the 'retweeted_status' (the value of this field is a representation of the original tweet). However if the user has not directly retweeted  the media, but stored it locally and later tweeted it, it is not possible to ascertain the originality of the media.

Web 3.0 is already used extensively in advertising to focus the message to individual consumers because the database knows the interests and preferences of the individual.  Outside of advertising, Web 3.0 can be used in a wide range of other contexts in which the company benefits from knowing the customer better.

what is characteristics of a good computer scientist?
I want to know who can I train myself as a computer scientist.
may you recommend whatever you think is useful?
thank you in advance.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Yasin
I would start by asking yourself the question, "Why do I want to train myself to be a good computer scientist?" The answer to this question will give you a lot of help in deciding how to proceed. If the answer is that I am really interested in the area and want to further my own knowledge, then that is fine, and you will be able to proceed doing just that at your own pace.
However, if you are considering learning how to become a computer scientist with a view to working in the field at a later date, then you need to take a slightly different approach. For a start, very few companies will be willing to take on a "self-taught" computer scientist. They want their staff to have some form of recognised qualification. Also, there will be an expectation that you will have some kind of good work experience behind you. Which presents you with a bit of a chicken and egg situation. This means you will have to attain some form of recognised formal qualification. There are a wide range of possibilities here. You can simply attend low level practical courses where you learn some technical skills, and you are awarded a certificate on successful completion of the course. Many of these are offered by professional training firms, and others can be offered by technical colleges. You could do an undergraduate university degree, a master's degree or even a PhD in computing science, but this would involve a serious commitment of both time and money. Obviously, the recognition is greater the further up the learning tree you travel, as can be the rewards.
Computing Science is one of the youngest disciplines, yet also happens to be a very wide ranging discipline indeed. Of course, it has its foundations in the mists of time, since much of what is done in the field today is enabled by past discoveries in a diverse range of disciplines, without which there would be no computing science today. But equally, it is a fast moving discipline, and change can occur with lighning speed, leading to new problems arising. Computing services are now used across business, government, education, and every other conceivable area, as well as for personal use. Computers are now used by every imaginable discipline, which means there is now a much greater focus on cross discipline collaboration. And, of course, there is the question of security to take into account. The benefits of using computing within society are indeed great, but bad actors have discovered how easy it can be to turn this great benefit for society to their own nefarious ends. This has now become a massive problem for society.
So, for my advice, I am going to assume you would want to obtain some formal qualification, and I will start with your question, what are the characteristics of a good computer scientist? I would suggest a keen interest in the field would be a great starting point. If you are interested in, and excited by, any discipline, you will generally always go further and faster than someone who is just going through the motions. You will require self-discipline, attention to detail, the ability to remember complex formulae. You will need to have an enquiring mind, and the ability to think through complex problems. You will need to be tenacious, and not be discouraged easily in the face of adversity. You will want to be able to think for yourself, and not be someone who must always be led by others. You will not be afraid to try new ideas, you will have self-belief in your own capabilities. You will need to be accurate in your work. You will need to learn to read a great deal of material, both efficiently and quickly. I would say these are core characteristics, attributes and capabilities which will put you in good stead on your journey to becoming a good computer scientist.
Even if you intend going down the formal training route through a university degree, you can start your journey off by first reading as much as you can about computing science. Try to find out about all the different branches of the discipline of computing science. Try to teach your self a computer language. Perhaps start with learing one of the oldest: the C programming language (still in use today) to see whether you have the aptitude for it. There are plenty of online tutorials, books and articles you can pick up for free to get you started. Learn how to use basic business office software tools. These are really useful things to do to get you prepared for undertaking a university degree. Try to produce something new every day, even if it is small. You will feel good about your progress and you will be learning regularly, which you will need to be able to do for a long time to come. Even if you end up with a PhD, you wil still need to keep on learing. In computing Science, nothing stays the same. Change is constant. If you start with the right attitude, you will enjoy your journey much more, you will be better prepared for learning, and you will be able to achieve the goal of becoming a good computer scientist.
Do bear in mind it won't be easy, it will take a lot of application and hard work over a considerable length of time, but it will be worth it in the end.
Good luck on your journey, and if you want any further advice, just ask.
Regards
Bob

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Inayat,
First, I will situate this question within the UK state education system as I am not clear at which teaching position you are aiming.  There are very different practical elements and expectations on 'teacher' based on their organisation (nursery, primary, secondary, college, university). 
For example, in state schools, there is a much greater demand on marking and planning compared to university.  For example, as a secondary school teacher, my working life was teaching, marking, planning. This is similar for primary schools too.  If we take my wife, for example, she leaves home about 7am in the morning and returns about 6pm. By 730pm she is marking the students work so that she can plan her lessons for the next day and typically finishes about 11pm. My practical life at university focuses on other facets but can be equally as time demanding. 
There are many blogs on the internet which cover work-life balance (example attached). Also, within the Uk all teacher unions carry stress surveys which include work-life balance data (see attached). 
Hope this helps

Answer
Trying to answer your question based on what you wrote and the statistics rules. if you measured your variable 3 or more times, then yes you need to use Repeated measure ANOVA. You also asking if you can do pre-post test. this depend on the number of times you had the measure if it is only 2 times with 2 different scales, then this is the appropriate one. otherwise, the logic behind using repeated measure over time will be cancelled. 
If for example you had 3 times of measurement, then you will used pre test -post test 3 times [between the 1st and 2nd; 1st and 3rd; and, 2nd and 3rd] this will lead to inflation in alpha, which means type I error in research.

I am undertaking the effects of using Web 2.0 technologies in the classroom and whether this will have an impact on student's learning. In order to facilitate this, I have tested the students prior to the inclusion of the web 2.0 technologies and I have also tested them after making them aware of it in the hope that I can compare these two sets of information. I have also carried out a survey before the study and after to see if their perception of the course has altered.
I I feel that the survey should be analysed using a Wilcoxon test and the pre-test/post-test results that are mentioned above should be analysed using a paired t test.

I think the use of pre focus group and post focus group in an educational research is a method quantitative viable. It's important to know the students to compose the focus group.

Hi Nadia,
Thanks for raising this question.
From my research and experience, I would say, they are different but can be used interchangeably depending on the context.
- Web 2.0 is a technology that allows us to create platforms for interactivity - where feedback and exchange are key features.

Traditional English writing process vs digital English Writing process.
Relevant answer
Answer
Are you asking if the the process of writing is different between the two mediums? An essay is an essay and the "process" of writing is the same through either vehicle. Of course word processors offer easier access to some tools (e.g. spelling, thesaurus...). Perhaps your talking about writing different genres however. Twitter as micro blogging, wikis for collaborative writing... again, these tools offer little different except access and audience in some cases. The effects of digital tools in this sense could be mimicked with paper and pencil, but I view authenticity as key. Students will be doing most of their writing through digital transcription tools - and thus, we should embrace those, just as we embraced paper. Did we still have students writing on slates and blackboards when paper became readily available?

We have been experience digital divides despite progressive adoption of policy driven ITeS for development. With the increasing use of internet enabled services (Web 2.0 and above!!!) it is likely that prominence of ISPs would increase along with dominating market control through telecom network operators. So, are there any positive indications to support net-neutrality in any country whatsoever?
Relevant answer
Answer
Net-neutrality is not something new to be achieved, but rather a default network behaviour which is being eroded.  Prioritising network traffic for specific companies (eg. google being a very strong proponent) favours incumbents and creates a more difficult environment for new-comers to compete - the emergence of services like youtube for example, depended a great deal on net-neutrality.  So now they are "kicking away the ladder" making it hard for others to follow.  Given that ALL of the major incumbents set to benefit from net-non-neutrality are based in OECD countries one can certainly make a good case that net-neutrality can be important for "development" in non-OECD countries.  Assuming you measure ICT4D goals in terms of production of internet services rather than simply distribution and consumption -  ie. how many of the world's population can access existing services.

Many quantified self-solutions offer personal statistics such as walked distances, burned calories etc. Many Web 2.0 solutions also offer statistics such as number of likes, karma points. Ect. We know from interviews users find such statistics motivating in the beginning, but our informal observation is that this effect often wears of.

Answer
Hi Matt - until now I would have suggested that educators need to understand and clearly develop i) the goals of their courses and ii) the needs of their students - before they can consider the possible uses of technology.
However, with the advent of the Cloud and the many possibilities of 'personalising learning, it is clear we have entered a new paradigm for education and technology. The learners should be much more in control of their own learning and thus using 'specific'educational approaches - including technologies - may restrict their development.The role of the educator thus should be changing - understanding the possibilities rather than limitations is probably more appropriate.
We have an interesting EU project exploring this called 'School on the Cloud" http://www.schoolonthecloud.eu - you will find there our state of the art report and new paradigm paper

We have recently seen a lot of down-votings in some threads. We also saw different kinds of reactions on this phenomenon. I would like to ask a question about these reactions.
First I assume that there are several possible reasons for downvotings: dissent – misunderstandings – misuse of buttons without knowing it– a social scientist who writes a paper about the reactions – a test carried out by RG – some technical problem, etc.
I would like to have a discussion about the reactions on the part of researchers. We have seen calls to ban down-voters or to cancel their anonymity. Elections in democracies are anonymous and there are good reasons for this. I think most of us agree about some basic traits of democracy, the right to stay anonymous is among them. What about these basics in social media?

Downvoting, especially anonymous is very bad for social network like ResearchGate !

It is possible to realize/change this approach by slightly modification in RG software. When you want to downvote something, fill the explanation window before and than downvoting is possible!

With NVivo, you can use NCapture to download streams from facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. Data are retrieved as tables (than can be exported as Excel tables if needed). NCapture also allows to retrieve web pages as pdfs in NVivo.
As mentionned above by Gonzalo, NCapture can be used from Chrome or Explorer but not (yet) from Firefox e.g.
Data collected on the web with NCapture can then be imported in NVivo via External Data/Import/Other sources/NCapture.
When importing data tables in NVivo (e.g. from NCapture), you have to chose, for each column, to define it as a classification column or as a codable column. Only cells (or part of cells) of these codable column can be coded. Classification columns can be use to filter your data.
As you can export any NVivo table as an Excel file, you can edit your data in this Excel file and then import it again in NVivo (External data/Import/table).
Hope this can help.

Relevant answer
Answer
Hi, John. As a minimal starting point, you'll need one fast and reliable internet connection. Beyond that, a great deal depends on the intended scale of your project. How many users, and what is the expected content load on your systems? Although most of the software is free and will scale fairly easily, the hardware requirements require more advance planning. What level of availability are you targeting? If you cannot afford ANY outages, then you'll have to build a more complicated infrastructure.
The number of expected users and the services you intend to offer are the biggest determinants of the project's budget. Because blogs, social networks, and wikis are text/photo oriented, the bandwidth & CPU demands are typically modest. Streaming media -- such as podcasts -- are far more bandwidth-hungry, so you might want to establish the other services first. Unless you absolutely MUST spend huge amounts of money quickly, it's best to plan for a phased implementation of services and features. If you plan adequately, you can establish a solid foundation for manageable growth.

Hi Ufuk, both fields are mostly integrated into the marketing department of the company. However, their focus as well as the needed expertise are completely different. Advertisement as a classic communication tool relies strongly on classic marketing education. Most professionals working in PR however come more from the journalistic side.
PR's main task is to convince classic gatekeepers (like press outlets, journalists and editors) to report in a favorable way about the company and her products. In case of PR the company's usually looses it's communication sovereignty as the final decision how to report lies with the gatekeeper. Hence, PR professionals need to specifically know how gatekeepers will react to corporate communication and behavior. That's also the key reason why most PR professionals ar ex journalist, which use their personal contacts to ensure positive coverage.
Advertising is going the opposite way. These guys develop a key message that is pushed into media trough bought in ad space.
Larger companies therefore tend to have different people overlooking each field. However, strategy wise both fields need to be integrated into the company's overall marketing strategy. That's is basically the reason why PR is mostly treated as an independent sub department within marketing.

According to Nonaka's SECI model, knowledge transfer takes place through the dynamic conversion of tacit to explicit and vice versa. This conversion takes place when knowledge is being 'transported' from source to recipient through a communication channel. I want a model that could be used to explain how these theories could be combined to facilitate knowledge transfer in a farming community.
Relevant answer
Answer
This is far from the only model of knowledge 'transfer', and in practice, I'd suggest that you maybe challenge the notion of knowledge being something that can be transferred. Michael Reddy's paper on the 'conduit metaphor' discusses the concept of knowledge being like a substance that can be transported in some detail. It also outlines an alternative 'toolmaker's paradigm' that is much closer to more constructivist approaches to social learning, like Lave and Wenger's 'legitimate peripheral participation', Interestingly, the toolmaker's paradigm is somewhat close to a diverse farming community in some respects. I'm not entirely convinced that the SECI model really generalizes to organizations that are not large and relatively structured and hierarchical. The explicit/tacit issue is a real one, but the mechanisms will differ, and assuming a knowledge conduit will restrict the way knowledge is shared in a community.
