Rethinking AI literacy education in higher education
As AI becomes increasingly embedded across societal domains, understanding how future AI practitioners—particularly technology students—perceive its risks is essential for responsible development and adoption. This study analyzed responses from 139 students in Computer Science, Data Science/Data Analytics, and other disciplines using both explicit AI risk ratings and scenario-based assessments of risk and adoption willingness. Four key findings e…
Digital literacy as a modern necessity
Traditional literacy and numeracy are no longer sufficient; people must also develop strong digital literacy skills. However, access to digital learning is often constrained by local infrastructure, support and resources, placing many individuals at risk of digital exclusion. This paper argues that fostering digitally inclusive communities is essential for developing widespread digital confidence. It draws on empirical evidence from digital skill…
The Journey to Making ‘Digital Technology’ Education a Community Learning Venture
Technology has become an integral part of our educational systems, and its importance in our schools cannot be overstated. However, digital skills, unlike other literacy skills, such as reading, writing, and numeracy, still have many discontinuities between how children use them at home versus in school. Therefore, in Wales (UK), digital skills are being promoted as part of the Digital Competence Framework (DCF) and feature highly in the new Curr…
Creative Environmental Exhibition
In an era where an increasing number of people find it challenging to grasp scientifically accurate environmental data, the need for more engaging museum exhibits to convey this information has never been more crucial. This article discusses Daptec Flat Holm which is a data physicalisation technology project on Flat Holm Island, Wales. Flat Holm Island is designated as a site of special scientific interest and is a local nature reserve. This proj…
A technique for modelling networks with junctions and what it tells us about the Roman road network of Gaul
Budget Travel in the Mediterranean
Least cost paths have been used extensively in the archaeological study of ancient routeways. In this paper the principal interest is less in tracing detailed paths than in modelling long-distance travel through an extensive network over land and water. We present a novel, computationally-efficient method for avoiding the directiondependent, positive biases in least cost paths encountered in standard algorithms. A methodology for generating netwo…
Losing Our Senses Online
The term cyberspace was coined by William Gibson, who used it in his book, Neuromancer in 1989 [15]. Gibson [15, p. 128] defines cyberspace as "a consensual hallucination." Cyberspace also describes the virtual environment of the Internet [26], alongside its more whimsical portrayal as a global village [17]. The Internet has become ubiquitous, available to anyone with a device and connection, easier to find than clean drinking water in some count…
Affect and Dialogue in Collaborative Cross- Disciplinary Research
Where Cartesian philosophy distinguishes the perceiving and perceptual mind from the body, phenomenology constitutes the experiential/experiencing body as the subject, giving rise to the affective potential of art. An immersive world of digital connections, smart cities and the Internet of Everything dramatises the centrality of relationship, the intertwining of Self and Other, in the lived environments of human experience. This article addresses…
Toward integrated historical climate research
[Article in WIREs Clim Change 2016, 7:164–174. The Nottingham based project exploring Documentary reconstructions of extreme weather events in the UK, past, present and future, is funded through the AHRC, Grant number: AH/K005782/1. 'The Snows of Yesteryear: Narrating Extreme Weather' Project, based at the University of Wales, was funded by the AHRC, award number AH/K502765/1
Toward integrated historical climate research
Climate change has become a key environmental narrative of the 21st century. However, emphasis on the science of climate change has overshadowed studies focusing on human interpretations of climate history, of adaptation and resilience, and of explorations of the institutions and cultural coping strategies that may have helped people adapt to climate changes in the past. Moreover, although the idea of climate change has been subject to considerab…
Exploring how social media can enhance the teaching of action research
Action research has an extensive history of being used to improve teaching and learning in many different professional settings, for example, schools, colleges, universities health and social care services. Educational action research embodies a process that necessitates honesty and openness and which lends itself to the betterment of one’s practice; in the current e-learning climate, where education is rapidly changing and the role and practice …
