International Conference on
Society and Information Technologies
6-9 April 2010
Purpose
TThe comprehensive and profound impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on Society is a very known fact. In turn, private, public and academic organizations are generating new requirements and demands that must be addressed by ICT. Demand-Pull and Technological-Push are interacting with each other through cybernetic loops. Society and ICT are co-regulating each other via negative Feedback Loops and synergistically co-evolving via positive feedback loops. On the other hands, ICT is increasingly supporting synergistic relationships among three important societal domain: the private, the public and the academic sector. The known universities- industries-governments Triple Helix Model support the conception, design and implementation of ICT-Driven Triple Helix Innovations.
The purpose of the Organizing Committee of the International Conference on Society and Information Technologies (ICSIT 2010) is to support and accelerate the cybernetic loops between Society and ICT and to help in the creation of relationships among different societal sectors, by means of bringing together researchers, professionals, practitioners and decision-makers from the Academic, Private and Public Sectors to share their findings, experience and knowledge with regards to the applications and impact of ICT.
ICT Applications originally created and implemented in a societal sector showed to be also useful and effective in another sectors. Analogical thinking and interdisciplinary approaches have supported the re-conception and re-design of an ICT application that showed to be effective and useful in one domain to another societal domain. The conception of Science 2:0 for example has been done by means of analogical thinking applied to the concept of Web 2:0, and the spread socio-technical systems, as it is the case of MySpace, Facebook, Wikipedia, flickr, YouTube, etc.
“MySpace and Facebook [for example] encourage casual social networks, but they may soon play more serious roles in facilitating emergency/disaster response.” (Sheiderman, Science 2.0, in Science Vol. 319 7 March 2008). “Science 2.0 – affirm Shneiderman - will be especially important to meet the design challenges in secure voting, global environmental protection, energy sustainability, and international development among many others. Conceiving Science 2:0 is an example of the ways how ICT-Driven Triple-Helix innovations can be used to generate Triple-Helix Synergy and Society-ICT cybernetic loops.
ICSIT 2010 Organizing Committee hopes to contribute to the catalytic process required for the generation of ICT-Driven Triple Helix Innovations, the generation of Triple Helix Synergy and the formation of co-regulative and co-evolutionary cybernetic loops between Society and the ICT.

1 - 3 December 2004
The third conference in this series was held at the National University of Singapore on December 1-3, 2004. The theme of this conference is Individual and Institutional Self-Assessment in Higher Education. From the point of view of a given course taught by a faculty member, self assessment involves reflection on the goals, classroom activities, learning materials, assessment tasks, student feedback and other sources of evidence to make an estimate of what the students must have learnt, how well they learnt it, and how optimal the pedagogical choices were. From an institutional point of view, self-assessment involves the scrutiny of the educational goals, resources, policies and practice to evaluate the value and relevance of the goals, and to make an estimate of the success of the institution - at the levels of the university, school, department, and individual faculty member - in accomplishing the goals, quite often within the context of quality assurance and external accreditation. |

FASS-CDTL Symposium 2003

This first-ever joint teaching symposium by both the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) and the Centre for the Development of Teaching and Learning (CDTL) is to share and showcase various perspectives on teaching in NUS and, in particular, the FASS. Teaching in the humanities and social sciences takes dedicated scholars to make it work, and this symposium, to be spread out over two half-days, presents the day-to-day teaching experiences of a cross-section of the faculty in FASS. The theme of the symposium is on grounded experiences, on what directly works, and what might work even better. The exciting range of papers to be presented at the symposium gives colleagues a timely opportunity to discuss and reflect further on the teaching and learning experience.

Teaching & Learning in Higher Education (TLHE) Symposium 2000
6 - 7 July 2000
The 1st Symposium on Teaching and Learning in Higher E ducation (TLHE Symposium) is organised by the Centre for Development of Teaching and Learning (CDTL), National University of Singapore (NUS). This two-day symposium, was held on 6 th and 7 th July 2000 in NUS, provided a forum for teachers to interact with one another and exchange ideas. Pedagogical philosophy and pedagogical theory in recent years have become specialised disciplines. This symposium will approach them from the standpoint of practising educators who reflect on their practice. We encourage teachers to forge a philosophy and theory on the basis of their own experience of teaching and learning, with the hope that this activity will yield more productive curricula and teaching strategies. Our ultimate goal is the increased awareness of pedagogical issues that result in enhanced teaching and learning.
