The author identifies and discusses the three domains of Digital Wisdom: “know thyself,” “know the humans,” and “know the machines.” Through a comprehensive analysis of literature, tools, and processes, the author provides insights into how netizens – individuals in online environments – can develop Digital Wisdom within each of these domains. The article also explores the interplay between the three domains and highlights the potential consequences of AI advancements on human cognition and mental well-being. By offering a detailed framework for cultivating Digital Wisdom, this paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on fostering a more balanced and holistic approach to understanding and engaging with the digital world amidst the rapidly advancing AI landscape, and in doing so create a Deep Future.

A Population-Based Tumor-Volume Model for Head and Neck Cancer During Radiation Therapy With a Dynamic Oxygenated Compartment

PurposeWith the coming era of digital wisdom medical technology, mathematical modelling of tumor becomes a key step to optimize and realize precision radiotherapy. The purpose of this study is to develop a mathematical model for simulating the change of head-and-neck tumor (HN) volume during radiotherapy. Methods and MaterialsA formula is developed to describe the dynamic change of oxygenated compartment within a tumor, which is combined with the LPL model to describe various cell processes during radiotherapy, including potentially lethal lesion repair and misrepair, cell proliferation/loss, and tumor reoxygenation. Parameter sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the impacts of the lesion-related and repair-related biological factors on radiotherapy outcome. ResultsWe tested our model on 14 available HN cancer patients and compared the performance with three other models. The mean error of our model for the twelve good fit cases is 12.2%, which is considerable smaller than that of the LQ model (19.7%), GLQ model (19.1%) and FLCP model (16.6%). Correlation analysis results reveal that for small tumors, there is a positive correlation (correlation coefficient r=0.9416) between hypoxic fraction and tumor volume, whereas the correlation becomes negative and not significant (r=−0.4365) for large tumors. It is demonstrated from sensitivity analysis that the production rate of lethal lesions (ηl) has a far greater impact on tumor volume than other parameters. The hypoxic fraction has insignificant impact on tumor volume, but it has notable influence on the volume of surviving cells. The final volume of surviving cells athf=0.5 is almost 8 ×102 times that of hf=0.01. The potentially lethal lesion-related parameters (ηpl,εpl, ε2pl) have rather small impacts (<1%) on both tumor volume and the volume of surviving cells, which indicates that the repaired and misrepaired sublethal cells only take up a small portion of the total cancer cell population. ConclusionsA population-based tumor-volume model for HN cancer during radiotherapy with a dynamic oxygenated compartment was developed in this study. Comprehensively considering the damage process of tumor cells caused by radiation therapy, the accurate prediction of the volume change of head-and-neck tumors during treatment has been revealed. Meanwhile, various cell activities and their principles in the process of anti-tumor treatment were reflected, and it has positive clinical reference significance for radiobiology.

Measuring Practice of Digital Wisdom in the Classroom

Measuring Practice of Digital Wisdom in the Classroom

The Idea of Digital Intelligence Empowering the Creation of a Tutoring Platform for Primary and Secondary Schools in the Same City

Under the background of the "double reduction" policy, information asymmetry between supply and demand in the tutoring service industry in the same city for primary and secondary schools has led to social conflicts in the tutoring market that coexist with high and arbitrary fees and damage to the legitimate rights and interests of the service subjects (college students). In the digital era, integrating digital wisdom into the tutoring service market will help break the limitations of time and space and reduce communication barriers in tutoring services. Use big data, Internet and other technologies to create a digital smart platform for two-way selection of tutoring services to help both supply and demand parties choose and communicate directly online. This will not only help build an efficient, convenient and reasonably charged tutoring service market, but also promote tutoring. Digital transformation and development of the service industry.

Research and Practice of Digital Training Model Based on Artificial Intelligence Technology

Abstract There are fatal defects in both the simulation practical training model and the actual combat practical training model. This paper firstly takes artificial intelligence technology as the basis for the construction of digital wisdom training classrooms and constructs the artificial intelligence digital wisdom training model. Secondly, it combines multi-factor reasoning and integrated clustering ideas to portray the vocational ability portrait of the learner group in the model and realizes the recommendation of students’ personalized training teaching resources with the learner’s portrait. Finally, the effectiveness is verified through the application practice of the digital training model for AI in higher vocational colleges. The results show that the use of multi-factor reasoning and integrated clustering can realize the accurate portrayal of the learner portrait of the digital intelligent training students and the difference between the loss value of the training and validation of the personalized recommendation model based on the learner portrait is about 0.01, and the average time consumed is about 1.05s. The digital training model supported by artificial intelligence technology can help students establish higher-order scientific thinking, promote students’ mastery of skills, and fully compensate for the shortcomings of the existing practical training model.

Analysis of Industry 4.0 Readiness among Regional Governments in Indonesia: The Worth of Digital Wisdom and Values in Public Services

This research aims to evaluate the readiness of regional governments to engage with the fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), especially in e-service delivery. In the era of Industry 4.0, governments are increasingly considered public service centres that are evaluated for their ability to provide expanded services in the most efficient and individual ways. This research applied an eservice model survey by evaluating indicators of e-services about maturity values on a user-based website or mobile device applications. Assessments of e-service in three regional governments in Greater Malang reveal flaws in personnel readiness, user preparedness, flexibility in e-service procedures and requirements, integration among applications, lack of socialization, weak leader support and commitment, low budgets, and infrastructure constraints. Guided by these discoveries, unlike with theory, this study proclaims the importance of digital wisdom involving empathy, simplicity, compromise, creativity, and humility in public service. This study also formulates the digital values of political leadership transformation, public need-based digitalization, immediate resolution, changes in digital governance networks, digital wisdom, and interregional connectivity in public services. Finally, the study expands on the theory that governments can exceed preparedness by incorporating digital wisdom and values to drive public service.

Investigation of Pre-Service Teachers' Levels of Digital Citizenship, Digital Wisdom, and Digital Fluency

This research aims to examine the levels of pre-service teachers' digital citizenship, digital wisdom, and digital fluency. Data were collected from 841 pre-service teachers studying at a state university. The obtained data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, MANOVA, and regression tests. As a result of the research, it is obvious that the digital fluency scores of the male teacher candidates were higher than the gender of the teacher candidates. It is evident that the common effect of the prospective teachers' classes and departments differs significantly from the effect on the digital citizenship and digital wisdom levels. A significant difference was found regarding the joint and class effects of pre-service teachers' digital fluency, digital citizenship, and digital wisdom. According to the results of the regression analysis, it was seen that the digital citizenship of the teacher candidates significantly predicted the digital fluency and digital wisdom variables. At the end of the research, recommendations regarding the findings were made.

Pandemic transition to online for healthcare profession education: A webscrape seeking perspectives of innovation and digital equity

The pandemic caused a sudden and rapid transition to online of health profession education programs, in an attempt to maintain the critical supply of new graduates during a pandemic. A gap existed pre-pandemic between technology mediated pedagogy and digital health literacy; a gap that was forced to narrow. Health education educators considered digital equity for students and the resultant impact of the digital divide in online environments for competency attainment related to digital health literacy and quality patient care. This team engaged in an emancipatory action research webscrape of the immediate pivot period to online in winter 2020 to summarize the expertise being shared over social media platforms or teaching and learning excellence podcasts and blogs. The search criteria for the webscrape covered three areas including changes in 1) healthcare profession education, 2) innovations, and 3) diversity, equity and inclusion. The results, in relation to pre-pandemic reflections, were on the future of education and maintaining innovative momentum found during the pandemic, the future of healthcare and being attuned to patient needs despite virtual care delivery, along with the future society and ensuring students attain digital wisdom. This webscrape speaks to what health profession education values going forward, reducing the digital divide for students and patients.

Will computers blow up the school: or is our digital wisdom evolving?

ABSTRACT Following the unexpected lockdown of education in March 2020 and again in February 2021, this research looks at the subsequent online learning that took place during the second lockdown at a vocational further education college located in the south of England. These online sessions used Google Meet as a forum and teachers at the college suddenly had to adapt their planned teaching to suit this new environment, Observation data was collected using an assessment tool consisting of 11 criteria with which to assess these sessions. This was followed up with teacher self-assessment using the same criteria and students surveyed for their perspective after the lockdown had finished in March. The data shows some discrepancy between what the observer 'saw' and what the teachers thought about their own TPACK levels in terms of outcomes and the student data indicates that online learning was 'unengaging' in terms of activities. The conclusion looks to the concept of digital wisdom as a means of using technology as a meaningful learning tool rather than as simply a different way to cover content in the light of the changes to curriculum delivery.

Digital wisdom in research work

Purpose/Thesis&#x0D; Digital wisdom is understood as the ability to use modern computer technology wisely to improve thinking and decision-making and to share results (Prensky, 2012a, p. 47). The aim of this article is to present selected digital tools that contribute to increasing the effectiveness of scientific research and facilitate conceptual work, information retrieval, note taking and the writing up of research.&#x0D; Approach/Methods&#x0D; The basic stages of the research process were distinguished, and for each of them a tool (a computer program) was selected that directly increases work efficiency and features functions that exceed human capabilities.&#x0D; Results and conclusions&#x0D; The latest digital tools are equipped with features that improve effectiveness at all stages of the research process. The improvement includes both speeding up completion of a task (e.g. searching for information) and showing relationships between documents or individual concepts that are barely noticeable by human standards (e.g. through the visualization of data and information).&#x0D; Originality/Value&#x0D; The skillful use of modern digital tools is a fundamental element of digital wisdom as computer programs and web applications significantly broaden human perception and cognitive capabilities.

In the digital world of (dis)information – from manipulation to knowledge and wisdom

The aim of the article is to draw attention to the complexity and complicated process of conscious and responsible use of digital infosphere resources. The text presents selected threats related to the functioning of young Internet users in the world of digital information. In the article I develop the thesis that the source of the indicated difficulties and threats is the low level of information literacy, resulting, among others from an insufficient process of preparing students for conscious, reflective use of electronic media and co-creation of their content. I also point to the importance of digital wisdom understood as the prudent use of digital media in the process of obtaining, processing and creating information.

Towards a Democratic Laboratory School

Nowadays, a new model of democratic school must contemplate educational dimensions capable of realizing those ethical relationships that can face the now unpredictable learning challenges of contemporary global society. Those involved in education have the task of organizing education by taking into account both the differences of each student to enhance the full development of the single individual’s potential, as well as the opportunity to enhance talent to ensure a merit system based not on competitiveness but on recognition of the different skills of each pupil in the class. Perrenoud affirms the importance for the teacher to question himself about his activities and the educational relationship with young people, also with a view to an observation process that the school itself can undertake in the context of an overall self-assessment process.Against this background, the reflection proposed here focuses, in particular, on flipped methodologies, those cognitive and formative processes that, developed within the school of competencies, can be declined in real answers related to the existential, professional and social needs of young people. The transition to this type of school has meant the enhancement of a teaching approach in which pupils take the lead of their own learning pathway, learning to manage those key competences, including digital skills, social and civic competences, which are necessary for personal growth. In the context of these educational issues, it becomes useful to reflect on technology in a broader perspective, not only as a means to learn something but as an "object" able to promote the exploitation of those dimensions of existence, such as cooperation, sense of judgement, and the principle of responsibility, necessary to overcome society’s challenges. Taking a chance on a democratic school means possessing digital wisdom, borrowing an expression from Mark Prensky, namely, that quality that can come out thanks to the enhancement of human capabilities through a balanced use of technologies. The digital wisdom, today's teacher, will reflexively identify the circumstances in which technology can be a valuable aid to stimulate students' understanding and creativity. Therefore, a proposal for those involved in education, may be to consider technology in a different perspective which, as Calvani suggests, embraces a different level of technology, the "contour ", the potential, that which can be moved in terms of communication and cooperation. In this sense, flipped technologies (or an inverted way of teaching/learning: a task is given to the class that can be a video to watch, a book to read, or an experience to becarried out , usually to be done at home) such as the Flipped Classroom and the method of the EAS ( method, transforming the school into a laboratory school, can represent an important learning opportunity for the adults of tomorrow. In fact, these technologies, due to their implementation methods, put into effect those values, such as collaboration, reflexivity, sharing, in a learning pathway suitable for living in today's complex society.

Gamification as transformative assessment in higher education

Gamification in education is still a very new concept in South Africa. Being a 21st-centuryinvention, it has already established itself in the world within the environs of the corporatemarket, marketing, training and the social world. This article will first discuss gamification(and all its other designations) and its applications in general; thereafter, the focus will be onthe application of gamification within the environment of education, and more specificallywith an emphasis on assessment. The burning question for South Africa is whethergamification can enhance a module or course on the level of higher education so much that aneducational institution cannot do without it anymore, knowing that we are working withstudents belonging to the ‘Digital Wisdom generation’. This article would like to open theway for the implementation of gamification as a transformative online assessment tool inhigher education.

Developing Digital Wisdom by Students and Teachers

This article investigates a pilot of integrating tablet computers in the elementary education. The research questions address the impact of tablet integration on learning and pedagogy. This qualitative case study crosschecks non-participated observations on students who work with tablet PCs, the school staff reflection on the integration as presented on the school blog, a focus group of fifth graders, interviews with the school principal and four teachers who are involved in the implementation, and three parents who assisted in a tablet-based extracurriculum project. The findings revealed that the most significant added value of tablet use is in mobile learning in out-of-class setting, while in in-class learning teacher would prefer using laptops because of tablet technical limitations. The findings are discussed in terms of technological pedagogical and content knowledge TPACK framework and “digital wisdom” of teachers and students. Pedagogical potential of tablet in developing digital wisdom is analyzed based on five metaphors of mobile learning: using a device as a “toolbox,” “creative mind,” “participation activator,” “shared mobile desktop,” and “connected world.” For massive implementation in the education system, we recommend that decision makers should integrate tablets only if mobile learning is a significant component in the instructional design.

A Faculty's Approach to Distance Learning Standardization

A nursing faculty workshop on distance learning highlighted several areas that needed review and revision of the existing approach toward distance education. Nursing educators, especially those responsible for providing distance education, need to possess the necessary digital wisdom in order to navigate the technological jungle of nursing distance education and better prepare nursing students of the 21st century. The ability to use technology effectively by both faculty and student is critical for participation in distance learning. A literature review and exploration of distance learning programs in institutions of higher learning was performed by a distance education sub-committee guided by the distance learning nursing standards and guidelines recommended by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. Following exploration by the distance education sub-committee, recommendations included faculty attendance in a prepatory workshop for faculty instruction in distance learning, an established definition of distance learning, a standardized Web site template, a student readiness quiz, and faculty peer evaluation and faculty student evaluation for distance learning courses.

Technological, pedagogical and content knowledge in one-to-one classroom: teachers developing “digital wisdom”

One-to-one (1X1) laptop initiatives become prevalent in schools aiming to enhance active learning and assist students in developing twenty-first-century skills. This paper reports a qualitative investigation of all 7th graders and their 15 teachers in a junior high-school in Northern Israel gradually implementing 1X1 model. The research was conducted during a second year of 1X1 implementation at the school level, which was a first year of teaching and learning with laptops for all study participants. The study triangulates non-participant lessons’ observations and semi-structured interviews with 15 teachers. The data were collected twice: at the beginning and toward the end of the 2011–2012 academic year – in total, 30 observations and 30 interviews were conducted. The results were examined through phenomenological research techniques and discussed in terms of the technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) and “digital wisdom” approaches. The teachers showed significant increase of technological knowledge. However, only moderate connections between technology and pedagogy as well as between technology and content were found. Some of the teachers functioned as moderators, scaffolding students and supporting their individual or collaborative learning. However, many teachers struggled with effective management of 1X1 classroom. Neither conjunction of teacher TPACK nor facilitation of student digital skills was observed. The paper suggests an overlap of the TPACK framework and the digital wisdom approach and provides implications for curriculum developers and educational policy-makers.

Growing in digital maturity: students and their computers in an academic laptop programme in Singapore

Using data collected through two focus group interviews with 14- to 16-year-olds involved in a one-to-one laptop academic programme in a Singapore secondary school, this paper shows some student disengagement and dissatisfaction in class, and this poses questions about the relevance of the school's laptop programme. Our findings illustrate low productivity in the students' use of their computers as they respond to their teachers' instructional agendas. Our work indicates research into one-to-one laptop learning needs to pay greater attention to the minds, motivations and hands of students as they embark on learning they do not fully understand or can control for themselves. We determine that educators and policy-makers need to know a lot more about how growth in students' digital maturity operates. In the final analysis, we understand and explain the students' views about how their learning experiences might be improved, and their behaviour (as a digital wisdom journey centred on learning) to be digitally mature.
