Covid-19 Welcome To University: Second Year Students Reflect On The Upcoming Experience Of Incoming First Years, Alan Hilliard
Other
A short on-line survey was undertaken by Fr Alan Hilliard, Coordinator of the Pastoral Care and Chaplaincy Service at TU Dublin. Peer Mentors (second year students who volunteer to support first year students) were asked to reflect on their experiences of college life during lockdown. They were also asked their opinion on the challenges facing incoming first years. The findings have very specific insights that can assist us as we prepare to welcome our new first years and indeed all students back to college. The students surveyed are based in the College of Engineering and Built Environment. The paper is …

A Guide To A Successful Industry-Academia Collaboration, Hublinked Consortium
Reports
This report, developed by the HubLinked Consortium, aims at determining what works best when higher education institutions work with industry on software innovation. The range of potential mechanisms for U-I linkages is extensive and they differ in effectiveness. Many of them are examined in the following pages under different sections. This report tries to identify the most efficient ways for HEIs and companies to engage in different types of collaborations as well as identify different needs, obstacles, enablers, preferences and perceptions that CS faculties and industry hold. This research enables a better understanding of the dynamics of U-I linkages in …

There has been a growing interest and increase in work shared about national K-12 Computer Science Education (CSED) curriculum and implementation efforts around the world. Much of this work focuses on curriculum analysis, country reports, experience reports and case studies. The K-12 CSED community would benefit from an international strategic effort to compare, contrast and monitor K-12 CSED over time, across multiple countries and regions, to understand pedagogy, practice, resources and experiences from the perspective of teachers working in classrooms. Furthermore, there is a need for validated and robust instruments that can support comparable investigations into the current state of …

Making Accessibility Data Accessible – A Challenge, Kathrin Bögelsack, Sven Michaelis
Papers
The Norwegian mapping authority has been carrying out a project on mapping accessibility following a national standard since 2009. In the beginning, the mapping was organized and carried out by the Norwegian Mapping Authority. This resulted in the creation of a good basic dataset for many Norwegian districts and bigger district-centers and enabled us to develop a national standard. However, it also lead to that the districts often did not feel any responsibility or ownership of the dataset and therefore did not use it in the scope that was intended. As a result, the mapping responsibility was given to the …
