Title: Cloud Computing and MOOCs for supporting Knowledge Work, Innovation and Learning
Abstract: Cloud computing is increasingly being adopted by large organisations as well as Small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) today. However, up to now, the use of the cloud by businesses tends to be almost entirely on IT services and software applications with a drive for cost savings, productivity enhancements and standardisation in control. In fact, at the forefront of cloud development, the cloud is increasingly unfolded as a disruptive force fuelling business innovations. This talk will highlight how to use the cloud to support knowledge-intensive business activities. In particular, the speaker will elaborate on the opportunities and impact by big data and showcase how to leverage the cloud for learning, open innovation, expertise location and human-machine co-operative problem solving. Challenges for the breeding the next generation of knowledge workers and organisations will also be outlined.
