Our workshop series, funded by The Joint Committee for Nordic research councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOS-HS), will produce policy-relevant academic knowledge about processes, opportunities and challenges of digital transformation of teaching and learning in Nordic higher education. Our overarching questions are: what kinds of transformations occur as a result of digitalisation of teaching &learning in Nordic higher education? How do we make sense of them within and beyond the classroom – e.g. effects on policies and practices in organisational, governance and technology domains linked to higher education teaching &learning? What theories, methods and empirical cases can successfully tackle these questions?Beskrivelse

ASEM Lifelong Learning Hub Network 2: Workplace Learning - joint study, the Latvian caseBeskrivelse
01/05-2012 → 01/08-2014
This joint study directs to the task of decoding working places as lifelong learning spaces across Asia and Europe. Workplaces offer very different kinds of learning opportunities - some are learning-friendly, others are less so; some provide structured work-related education and training for employees, whereas in others, learning is integrated into the flow of working processes.
Therefore, the 'learning continuum' between formal, non-formal and informal learning is a key framework for understanding how opportunities for professional and personal development at work are distributed, structured, experienced and used. Through exchange of information, workshop discussions and joint studies, the network is building up a shared body of knowledge that is driven forward by comparing and contrasting how workplace learning is provided, practiced and understood in Asian and European countries.Beskrivelse

Økologisk svineproduktion er udfordret på både miljø og økonomisk
konkurrenceevne. Lav fodereffektivitet kombineret med afhængighed af
kraftfoder baseret på ikke-lokale proteinkilder øger næringstabet,
klimaaftrykket samt behovet for landbrugsland. Derved kompromitteres
både produktionens økonomi og bæredygtighed
WI-FI tager fat på disse udfordringer med fokus på so ernæring. Der
udvikles vinterfoderstrategier under hensyntagen til dyrenes indtag af
ensilage. Projektet giver ny videnskabelig viden om 1) Energi og
proteinbehov hos udendørs søer fodret på to proteinniveauer og 2)
Indtag og udnyttelse af forskellige typer af grovfoder og hvordan disse
påvirker proteinbehovet og søernes huld, reproduktion og
kuldresultater.
Baseret på denne viden udvikles bæredygtige fodringsstrategier med
den rette balance af grov- og kraftfoder samt recirkulerede
restprodukter, som opfylder dyrenes behov. Foderstrategierne
demonstreres i kommercielle besætninger.Beskrivelse

Vitamin D3 is involved in a large number of physiological processes from bone formation and reproduction to modulating the immune system. There are two sources of vitamin D3 in cattle and other mammals: Synthetic vitamin D3 supplied in the feed and natural vitamin D3, which is synthesised in the skin during exposure to sunlight or UV light. From a physical and chemical point of view, vitamin D3 from the two sources is indistinguishable; however, from a physiological perspective it seems to be an entirely different matter. But - how on earth does the body go about distinguishing two completely identical molecules from each other, and even discriminate so heavily against one of the forms (the synthetic) that it is highly toxic in the body and can be easily overdosed in contrast to the natural form? This is the question which this project attempts to answer before a much-needed revision of the existing recommendations for vitamin D3 supplementation of cattle and other livestock can be implemented. A revision, which ultimately may lead to the conclusion that vitamin D3 should not be provided through the diet, but should be provided through exposure to natural or artificial sunlight (UV light). An insight which could turn the management of livestock vitamin supply inside out in both conventional and organic farms.Beskrivelse

The importance of tailoring learning more closely to individual progress, rather than to suit the adminis-trative convenience of education systems, is a long-running theme of the lifelong learning agenda. The CERI study will look at some of the most promising existing models in schools that have developed new relationships between teaching and an understanding of learning needs, and have resulted in enhanced student outcomes. The CERI study will build on and enhance previous research on the underlying principles of effective for-mative assessment/innovative teaching practices, thereby adding to robustness of the data, and/or defin-ing new directions for study. The CERI study aims to add to the body of knowledge on formative assessment and other innovative approaches to teaching by providing vivid descriptions of teacher strategies and how teaching methods play out within the classroom. (Researchers agree that more description of successful formative assess-ment/innovative teaching practice is needed.) The CERI study will attempt to bring greater clarity to the concept of formative assessment, contributing to the overall body of research.Beskrivelse

This study investigates the bottom-up implementation of a data informed evaluation culture in public schools in two Danish municipalities. The study examines attitudinal and behavioral changes to the teachers’ data use during a data intervention by analyzing longitudinal mixed methods data. Results show that 1) teachers are very reluctant to use data, which resulted in low fidelity with the intervention 2) teachers lack the competencies to act didactically on data, and 3) when there is a mismatch between data and their subjective assessment of a student, they look for individual explanations, which may explain why the data is wrong.

An interdisciplinary research consortia that has been awarded a Semper Ardens basic research grant from Carlsberg Foundation. The reseach consortia is going to undertake fundamental research in “Social robotics”—the new revolutionary the 21st century robotics technology, that aims at creating social intelligence in machines—is projected to bring about a technological revolution with profound socio-economic impact and, potentially, particularly disruptive effects on our socio-cultural values. This research will define and implement a new paradigm for the proactive regulation of social robotics applications. By integrating robotics research with empirical and conceptual research in the Humanities, Social and Human Sciences, a project team of 25 researchers from 11 disciplines will work out the methodological foundations needed to develop responsible social robotics applications. To investigate the performance of the new method, the team will design and test several innovative social robotics applications that promote socio-cultural values and norms of personal well-being, such as fairness, authenticity, autonomy, and creative self-realization.Beskrivelse

What can we learn from one another?
Comparing Denmark, Singapore, and Canada to meet global, educational challenges
This is a pilot project for a project that will help identify the changes required of the Danish school system, and thereby prepare Denmark for the challenges of education and educational economy that follow from globalization.
The aim is two-fold:
1) Teacher education, curriculum, and teaching, particularly didactics and educational policies (Rasmussen)
2) School leadership/management, management organisation and formal education of school leaders, particularly diversity- and equity management and spectrum of ‘soft’ leadership technologies (Staunæs)

Background:
The constant growth of software systems naturally leads to advances in the field of software engineering, where the increasing size and complexity of systems requires more sophisticated development techniques and new engineering paradigms.
System of Systems is a rising interdisciplinary area concerning the engineering of systems which themselves consists of other distinct systems. A System of Systems consist of multiple independent complex systems which themselves are distributed heterogeneous parts of a complex adaptive system, that has been established to form a synergistic collaboration through which the involved systems can achieve a common goal and through the synergy between the systems reach a higher functionality than delivered by the systems separately.
A System of Systems is often found in the Aeronautics, Astronautics, Healthcare and Automotive industry because of these areas complex and interdisciplinary nature. Their trade is the development of mission-critical systems which have high demands for dependability and integrity combined with complex requirements and the necessity of integration with existing systems.
Challenges:
The relational complexity and independence of these constituent systems entail that the scope and behaviour of the system is difficult to define, as both resources and authority are independent and distributed. A key challenge is how these independent entities, of which there is no central authority, can be engineered to realize a synergism in which a higher common goal is reached? How a system of such complexity can be trusted in a mission-critical environment, when there is not full control of each independent part?
The dependability of the System of System as a whole needs to be guaranteed and it is the belief of this project that it can be addressed through a universal and precise agreement between the diverse stakeholders representing each of the independent systems. A formal contract can be used to ensure a certain commitment and accountability to architectural and behavioural requirements of the system through contractual obligations. The use of the formal contracts will not only be applicable to new system designs but also for the integration of legacy systems, some of which may not originally be designed for cooperation, into the collaboration with new constituent systems.
Project objectives:
This project will engage in the founding of an analysis methodology for the fulfilment of required properties defined in a formal contract in relation to a System of Systems, consisting of both legacy and newly designed heterogeneous constituent systems.
The objectives of the project can be grouped into the following fragments; (1) To explore the feasibility of establishing a contractual relationship between constituent systems and stakeholders in a System of Systems in which specific system properties can be described; (2) The creation of an analysis methodology for describing required System of Systems properties in a contractual language in order to form a formal contract; (3) The establishment of a link between the contractual language and executable software such that legacy systems are represented by their real software and then executed in parallel with the formal contract: (4) The development of a prototype tool which supports the combination of the contractual language and the simulation of a model of System of Systems, and (5) the application of the methodology and prototype tool to real existing software systems.Beskrivelse

The overall aim of the WelFur III project is to facilitate the implementation of the welfare assessment protocol for mink in Europe. A test of the WelFur protocol at farms in 10 European countries disclosed a number of issues that needed to be solved in order to make sure that WelFur could correctly handle all conditions found around Europe in each of the three seasons that covers the strict annual cycle of mink production.
A Ph.D. project is aiming at increasing the feasibility and exploring ways to reduce the costs of assessment, without reducing the validity or the reliability.
The project included 37 hours courses for training of WelFur assessors, including an exam that should be passed in order to qualify as a WelFur-Mink asssessor.
The project was financed by 3.932.000 DKK + 44% overhead (OH) from Fur Europe and co-funded by 452.000 DKK from AU. Beskrivelse
