14 May '17

*** Fourth Call for Papers *** 16th World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning mLearn 2017 Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus 30 October - 1 November, 2017 http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=YWlyLUwJCQlhaXItTEBsaXN0c2Vydi… In Cooperation with ACM SIGAPP (proceedings in ACM ICPS) The International Association for Mobile Learning (IAmLearn) (www.iamlearn.org) is the custodian of the mLearn conference series. mLearn is the leading annual international conference for researchers, policy makers, educators, developers and solutions providers in the fields of mobile, ubiquitous and contextual learning, as well as learning with emerging ambient and wearable technologies. mLearn attracts a large number of participants from more than 60 countries representing all continents, and is, therefore, the world's largest international conference on mLearning and emerging ambient technologies. Conference Themes The overarching conference theme is 'mLearning and Design for Social Change and Innovation'. Higher education institutions are called upon to provide for the competencies and skills that foster design for social change and innovation. In addition, knowledge and skills alliances are encouraged by funding bodies to cultivate, share and disseminate competencies that foster social entrepreneurship and innovation. However, little is known on how mlearning can facilitate this process, how it can contribute towards social change, innovation and entrepreneurship. The topics of interest can go beyond the conference theme, and can include any of the following: · The development, deployment and implementation of mlearning in the context of social entrepreneurship, innovation and social change · mLearning as a tool that fosters social change and social entrepreneurship · Innovations in mlearning theory and pedagogy · From pilot projects to mainstream implementation: strategies for the deployment of mLearning · Mobile technology to support open and distance learning · Mobile technology for teaching and learning support · Assessment techniques and practices in mLearning · Design and development of learning material for mLearning · Learning objects and metadata for mLearning · Informal and lifelong learning with the aid of mobile technologies · Challenges for mLearning in developing countries · Building and implementing mLearning strategies in educational institutions, companies and public sector organisations · mLearning management systems (mLMSs) · Computer tablets · Creating interactive and collaborative mLearning environments · Future trends in mLearning technology, including the impact of emerging technologies · Emerging hardware and software for mLearning including wearable technologies · Location-aware technologies · Contextual and situated learning · Augmented reality · Serious gaming and simulations · Ambient intelligence and ubiquitous learning Submission Information The conference solicits regular papers (no more than 8 pages), short papers (no more than 4 pages), as well as posters (no more than 2 pages). The Program Committee may require an accepted paper to be adapted into a short paper or poster. All papers must be prepared according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template format (see the conference web site for further information). The papers must be original contributions not submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. A submitted contribution should clearly indicate the conference topics it targets. For an accepted contribution to be included in the proceedings, at least one author must register and present the paper at the conference. For further information, see the submission guidelines on the conference web site. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM ICPS and archived in the ACM Digital Library.

With renowned experts and scholars drawn from Canada, USA and Germany, it offers 10 workshop streams designed for doctoral students, junior scientists and early career scholars and researchers. It is primarily designed to train and equip beginners in Digital Humanities, that is, participants without a prior background in the new field. It also includes lectures, project presentations and roundtable discussions. Workshop attendees will also have the opportunity to present their own research and discuss with colleagues and experts how to utilise different kinds of digital approaches and tools for their research projects. They will also learn some basic principles in digital scholarship (scholarly writing). Although priority will be given to doctoral students and junior scholars, the Lagos Summer School in Digital Humanities equally offers training to anyone willing to explore a range of opportunities in Digital Humanities, including academics at all career stages, postgraduate students, project managers, and people who work in IT, libraries, and cultural studies. *Workshop Topics* 1.

The lecture is directed not only at the participants of the Summer School but also at other academics, students and the interested public. These lectures are designed to provide a theoretical and practical framework for the exploration and discussion of the relevance and benefits of Digital Humanities. The lectures will also present possible windows for collaborations between the Sciences and the humanities for innovation and development. *Project **Presentations* Doctoral students, young scholars and researchers are encouraged to present their research projects or any ongoing projects related to the theme(s) of the Summer School/ Digital Humanities. The session also offers a great opportunity for software developers and corporate organisations to present their products, software, and applications that are relevant to the academic, research and policy communities. This session is also aimed at demonstrating some of the possibilities of the implementation of technology-based research in the Humanities within the larger academic and social contexts. *Round**t**able* *Discussion* The Summer School will also provide a platform for scholars within the intersecting disciplines and corporate organisations, i.e. Humanities, Engineering, Computer Science as well as ICT-based and Telecommunication companies to discuss important topics and collaborative projects in Digital Humanities. *How to apply* *In order to guarantee a space**, *interested participants should send a brief personal statement and CV to dhunilag(a)gmail.com.

Re: [Air-L] Setting Up a Honeypot
by Maurice Vergeer 13 May '17

I don't think that's a good idea. I just checked a gmail account I set up over a year ago, without using it. And no spam turned up. Google has one of the best spam detection software there is. Most of it will not even reach your spam folder. On a daily basis, my regular gmail account only shows 4 to 5 spam emails. The best think might be to setup a emailserver without a spam filter. Then make sure to publish your email on a webpage and maybe in some discussion groups and wait. Another more sophisticated option seems to do the job you want: https://github.com/shiva-spamphttps://github.com/shiva-spampot/shiva I have no experience with the software but you might want to setup a VM and try it out. hope that helps.

New Book: Technoliberalism

New Book: Technoliberalism and the End of Participatory Culture in the United States By Adam Fish Palgrave MacMillan This new book examines whether television can be used as a tool not just for capitalism, but for democracy. Throughout television’s history, activists have attempted to access it for that very reason. New technologies—cable, satellite, and the internet—provided brief openings for amateur and activist engagement with television. This book elaborates on this history by using ethnographic data to build a new iteration of liberalism, technoliberalism, which sees Silicon Valley technology and the free market of Hollywood end the need for a politics of participation.

Setting Up a Honeypot
by Roderick Graham 12 May '17

12 May '17

AOIR List: I am interested in collecting spam emails for analysis. Does anyone know of a "how to guide" or website that gives a tutorial on setting up a "honeypot"? I know that the basic idea is to create fake emails...but after that I am kind of in the dark.
