Hoe optimaal kennisclips inzetten in je onderwijs? Dat was het onderwerp van de workshop georganiseerd door de SIG Media and Education op donderdag 21 september op locatie bij SURF in Utrecht.
Do you deal with Big Data in your research in Astronomy or Earth Observation? Or do you want to learn about innovative projects in these domains with a strong data processing component? Then save the date for this seminar, organized by SURF & NSO, bringing together the Astronomy and Earth Observation communities to discuss shared challenges and best practices. Registration opens mid-October.
Date: 23-01-2024
Time: 10:00 – 17:00
Location: SURF Utrecht
Costs: free of charge (priority given to SURF members)
XR, dat Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) en Mixed Reality (MR) omvat, biedt mogelijkheden voor het bevorderen van inclusief onderwijs. Studenten met een functiebeperking of chronische ziekte* kunnen hier aanzienlijk van profiteren.
Some time ago SURF got their hands on the Augmented Reality device previously shrouded in mystery, the Magic Leap 2. Early in the current XR wave (2014) when the term XR wasn't even a thing yet, Magic Leap got spotlight with the release of a few patents for their new mystery AR device called the Magic Leap; which would add realistic 3D elements to the real world (see marketing video). Magic Leap got the attention of big investors, including even Google and Alibaba, which resulted in US$2.6 billion being invested in their company. Due to these investments and marketing videos showing very convincing visuals the Magic Leap 1 hype went very high, while the device itself was eventually quite a let down when it was finally released in 2018.
To our surprise Magic Leap announced the second iteration of their Magic Leap headset in 2021. The Magic Leap 2, unlike the first iteration, is more geared towards the enterprise market. Shortly after they announced that it would be commercially available from September 2022 onwards, SURF took the opportunity to take the leap and buy one of the devices. SURF then tested out its capabilities and wanted to share the outcome here. This has taken somewhat longer than planned, as will become clearer below.

In this blog, I discuss AI within Europe from the perspective of impacting Vocational training.
The Economic impact of the use of AI within Europe is enormously significant, by 2030 for the North of Europe AI is estimated to impact to the tune of approximately 10% of GDP (1.8 trillion dollars) and 11.5% of Southern of GDP (0.7 trillion dollars).
Compared to America and China Europe is lagging with the combination of both by 2030 accounting for 70% of the global Economic impact (10.7 trillion dollars).
Twintig jaar geleden al begonnen de eerste universiteiten en hogescholen met het delen van hun onderwijsmaterialen als Open Educational Resources (OER). Er zijn de laatste jaren steeds meer mogelijkheden gekomen om onderwijs en leermaterialen met elkaar te delen. En het aanbod van digitale leermaterialen is mede door de coronapandemie bovendien enorm toegenomen. Toch is gebruik en hergebruik van open leermaterialen nog geen gemeengoed. In deze driedelige serie lees je daarom meer over het nut van open leermaterialen, de kracht van vakcommunity’s, hergebruik van open leermaterialen en de kansen van open pedagogy. Dit is deel twee.
In a rapidly evolving world, artificial intelligence emerges as a transformative force in various research domains. While its potential is undeniable, the challenges it presents can't be overlooked. In a short survey we aimed to gauge the current state of the responsible application of AI in research. Preliminary findings indicate that promising steps are being made, but that significant gaps remain in institutional guidance and support, as well as in the practical implementation of responsible AI practices.
