Save the date: GO FAIR Personal Health Train Implementation Network German Chapter Workshop, 12/02/2019, Berlin
by go-fair 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Save the date: GO FAIR Personal Health Train Implementation Network German Chapter Workshop on 12th February 2019, Berlin Register here: https://www.go-fair.org/registration-workshop-pht-german-chapter/ The GO FAIR Germany initiative invites researchers, care providers, technology developers, industry, standard organizations and policy makers to join the Personal Health Train (PHT) implementation network. The international PHT initiative aims to increase the use of existing biomedical data for research into personalised health & medicine, preventive medicine, and value-based healthcare. The approach is also adopted by other domains such as agriculture. The GO FAIR PHT implementation network develops concepts, technologies and reference implementations to allow communities reusing their privacy sensitive data in an innovative way. As current German members of the network, we explore use cases from the medical informatics initiative consortia and develop proof of concept solutions. Now the GO FAIR International Support and Coordination Office establishes a German PHT chapter. The office will support all activities that enable the building of a PHT implementation network in Germany. Stakeholders from Germany are invited to actively join the network and collaboratively work on future solutions for the PHT German chapter. The aim of the German chapter is to discuss specific needs and use cases as well as strategies to achieve sustainable solutions on a national level. The MII projects, NFDI research infrastructures, and other communities that share data are welcome to bring their own challenges. Join our workshop to explore this novel data reuse approach and be part of it. What is the PHT: The PHT is a novel privacy-preserving approach to utilize distributed data and is based on the principle of "data resides where it belongs to, analytics meets data to harvest desired outcomes". In this analogy, train stations represent data repositories that provide computational abilities to execute tasks. The trains are the data analytics tasks such as data mining algorithms, applications or queries which are sent to relevant stations to be executed in a safe environment. The train does not leave the station with data that is privacy-protected. Who can benefit from it: Any community or organization who wants to utilize privacy sensitive data for any other purposes can benefit from the PHT approach, such as . industry and researchers to develop data analytic solutions, . data infrastructures and service providers to create a new value chain by selling access to data . Researchers, care providers to benefit from data driven solutions, . Organizations, distributed system to monitor quality and asses effectiveness . Citizens to be empowered deciding who can use their data How can I contribute: You can contribute the implementation network by bringing your use cases and identifying your needs; discussing technologies, solutions and standards; outlining a vision of reusing data beyond the boundaries of institutions or consortia; and more.

CFP: "Engaging with Open Science in Learning and Teaching"
by Heck, Tamara 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Dear colleagues, the following CFP might be of interest for you. Apologies for cross posting. "Engaging with Open Science in Learning and Teaching" A special Issue of "Education for Information : https://www.iospress.nl/journal/education-for-information/<https://www.iospress.nl/journal/education-for-information/> Technology has impacted almost all aspects of our lives today, and education is no exception. Technology enhanced learning and teaching (TELT) has changed the way universities, in general, and learning and teaching specifically, operate today. The increasing adoption of TELT coupled with emerging philosophies of openness have brought additional opportunities and challenges to learning and teaching around the world. Openness is an overarching concept or philosophy that is characterized by an emphasis on transparency<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_%28behavior%29> and free, unrestricted access to knowledge and information<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_information>, as well as collaborative or cooperative management and decision-making<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_decision-making> rather than a central authority<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authority> (Peters, 2014)<https://archive.fo/20140501132743/http:/eepat.net/doku.php?id=open_educatio…>. This new philosophy has encouraged the development of an open culture that is reaching scales never imagined before. Today, many stakeholders in education, such as governments, researchers, educators and students, have engaged in developing open initiatives, including open policies, open content, open education, open source software and so forth. Educators and learners have access to a large volume of open resources. Researchers have also benefited from having access to large volumes of data available in open access repositories all over the world - data that was previously held by only a few, now can reach anyone interested in manipulating them and thus making new discoveries not only in science, medicine, but also in learning and teaching. One important element of openness is open science, which is the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_research>, campaigning for open access<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access>, encouraging scientists to practice open notebook science<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_notebook_science>, and generally making it easier to publish and communicate scientific knowledge (Wikipedia, 2018<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science>). Although open science is frequently seen as related to research, its philosophical foundations and dilemmas are very similar to other aspects of openness closely associated to learning and teaching, such as open education (Schuwer, 2017)<http://robertschuwer.nl/blog/?p=1498>. However, recent developments and studies have realised the potential of open science to enhance many aspects of learning and teaching (some examples are Open Data as OER, Study on Open Science<https://ec.europa.eu/research/innovation-union/pdf/expert-groups/rise/study…>, Open access scholarly publications as OER<http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/1531>, Open science, open access and open educational resources: Challenges and opportunities<https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7160399/>, Data in Education<https://www.ands.org.au/working-with-data/publishing-and-reusing-data/data-…>, Open Data in Schools<https://www.europeandataportal.eu/en/highlights/open-data-schools>. Despite the examples above, the application of open science in learning and teaching is still very limited. In addition, most of the work conducted in open science is focused on data, infrastructure and publications rather than practices. This the main rational for this call for contributions to a Special Issue on Engaging with Open Science in Learning and Teaching. In this Special Issue we call for contributions that explore and discuss the impact of open science on learning and teaching, including new pedagogical approaches, strategies and policies, capacity building, and what opportunities and challenges it brings for educators, students and learning institutions. We invite papers from the Information and Communication Disciplines (ICDs) and beyond, from diverse educational systems, including higher education, schools and technical vocational education and training (TVET). Submissions will be double-blind peer reviewed and can include literature discussion and analysis, conceptual and empirical papers, case studies, quantitative and qualitative research, related to the following topics. Topics include, but are not restricted to: * Philosophical and theoretical approaches to openness and open science in teaching and learning * Students' perspectives on and students' roles in open science * Ethics and practicalities of open science in educational systems, including higher education, schools and TVET * Examples of implementation of open science in learning and teaching within ICD disciplines, and beyond. * The impact of openness and/or open science in curriculum design and development * Policies and the politics of open science in education * Open science and the scholarship of learning and teaching * Assessing learning supported by openness and open science * Perspectives and theories on student learning through open science * Capacity building for open science in education The special issue will be free of charge. It is co-edited by Tamara Heck (Information Centre for Education, DIPF Frankfurt - German Institute for International Educational Research) and Carina Bossu (Tasmanian Institute of Learning and Teaching, University of Tasmania). Questions, comments and inquiries can be directed to either heck(a)dipf.de<mailto:heck@dipf.de> or carina.bossu(a)utas.edu.au<mailto:carina.bossu@utas.edu.au> Style guidelines for Education for Information are available here: http://www.iospress.nl/journal/education-for-information/?tab=submission-of… Submissions are due Dec 15th 2018. They can be submitted via the journal's submission system: https://mstracker.com/submit1_dev.php?jc2=efi&SubmitType=N. Please state in the cover letter that your submission is a contribution to the Special Issue on Engaging with Open Science in Learning and Teaching. Submissions will be double-blind peer-reviewed. Founded in 1983, Education for information (EFI) is a quarterly refereed academic journal publishing research articles on issues related to the teaching and learning of information scientists and professionals for an information society. EFI welcomes a broad perspective on issues related to pedagogy and learning in the information and communication disciplines (ICD) such as Library and Information Science, Communication and Media studies, Journalism, Archival studies, Museum studies, Psychology, Cognitive science and Digital Humanities. ________________________________ Twitter: https://twitter.com/EducationforIn1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/educationforinformation/ Subscribe to the newsletter: http://madmimi.com/signups/290d73e84d1f4b8badb5030a3d10e86d/join _____________________________________________ Dr. Tamara Heck Informationszentrum Bildung DIPF Frankfurt (Deutsches Institut für Internationale Pädagogische Forschung) Schloßstraße 29, 60486 Frankfurt am Main Fon: +49 (0)69 24708 305 heck(a)dipf.de<mailto:heck@dipf.de>, www.dipf.de<http://www.dipf.de/>
