Open Source Software (OSS) and Technologies have received extensive research attention due to some favorable properties contrasting with a traditional understanding of software development and the use of those systems. Many OSS issues are motivations for OSS developers and licensing bodies. However, important research areas in OSS are product and implementation success and the use of OSS in different educational and enterprise settings. OSS can also serve as a platform for providing services to user communities. Especially in developing countries, OSS provides an attractive opportunity.

This annual conference serves as a multi-disciplinary forum for the discussion and exchange of information on the research, development, and applications on all topics related to multimedia, hypermedia and telecommunications/distance education.
The changing technology dimension: development of networking tools, new platforms and standards, and interoperability questions, will also be addressed from the perspective of different groups of users.
Pragmatic observers may state meanwhile that there is not that much novelty in new generations applying different tools and approaches to changing social and technology conditions. Thus there is space for interpretation by established distance learning professionals to consider the diverse practice and experience with young and adult learners in the open learning arena.

Untapping the full potential and risks of social media for the public sector
http://www.arkgroupaustralia.com.au/Events-E008%20The%20Australian%20Government%20Social%20Media%20BPT.htm
17 April 2012
Australia
The use of social media for collaboration in the workplace is set to double by 2013. The personal online social communities that individuals have built up in the past few years are now spilling over into work and as a result the role of social media is changing.
However, despite its potential professional benefits many public sector organisations are still wary of the use of social media in the workplace. By increasing an organisation-wide awareness and building a toolkit that tackles confidentiality, copyright, privacy and reputation issues, organisations can successfully implement social media strategies as just another part of their communication and business.
This one-day forum will help you to:
- Understand the practical applications and impact of social media in your
workplace
- Develop an effective social media strategy and policy
- Deal effectively with legal, security and governance issues of social media
- Train your staff on social media etiquette
