🇳🇴 @Khrono

There’s a recurring theme that if our shop is in the news, it’s not necessarily because it’s positive….

The #GPCE2025 proceedings are online - nice cover!

@Khrono Apparently "we" (#HVL) axed our BSc in #EnergyTransition due to low student numbers 😬

Makes you wonder how this can happen to such an important topic in the times of #ClimateChange. I'm wondering how much of a role the factor plays on which campus we offer the degree.

But I'm sure the truly beautiful Sogndal campus ⛰️ will only increase its attractiveness over the next few years for international students as their home cities cook under sweltering 42 degrees.

ECOOP'25 early registration approaching! Don't miss it! We have plenty of interesting satellite events as well!

Two years ago the bookshop left campus because our shop "needed" the place – we were cracking at the seams. Now new student numbers are dropping, so let's see where that goes...

ECOOP'25 List of accepted papers! Carefully curated by Alexandra Silva and @JonathanAldrich and their capable PC.

Looking forward to an undoubtedly great program on our campus here at #HVL.

Early registration is open, and keep your eyes peeled for subsidised student-applications!

We (#HVL) are in the news again – the student application numbers for the next admission-cycle are in (article in 🇳🇴, paywalled 💰)!

General numbers 15,5% up, though our Bachelors in Computing and in Information Technology going (surprisingly?) down.

We're hiring PhD students – again!

Ilona Heldal has an open PhD research fellow position (3 years) in the Norwegian Research Council funded project «Ensuring a Competent and sustainable workforce of Midwives in Norway (CompMid)».

👶 The topic stands out a bit, doesn't it?

This doctoral project will focus on how technology can improve learning for midwifery students and practising midwives. We therefore recruit a PhD student for developing learning tool technologies, such as VR, AI-based learning tools or Live-action team-based games, for supporting student-active learning of one or more specific clinical skills. The project will design, develop and evaluate digital learning tools to improve midwives’ and midwife students’ clinical competence. The project will involve two PhD-students who will collaborate closely, one in computer science and one in midwifery science. The PhD in computer scinence will focus on software engineering with research focus on software technologies or human computer interaction techniques for clinical learning tools. The PhD in midwifery science will have a focus on the pedagogical and clinical content of the learning tools.

Good news: #HVL is now reachable on #ipv6 (the webserver, that is)
Bad news: via Cloudflare ⛈️

Of course I don't know how our web-services actually work (the stuff that I see is mostly static content anyways), but I'm tempted to check who over there was at a fancy 🤡-flare marketing event recently.

Especially given that the institution as such is WAY over budget and we need to save money right and left...Or maybe it's just our CMS-provider Optimizely optimising their expenses...

Just wrote to our social media-team at #HVL asking if they/we have plans to leave X, which is still featured as one of our channels on our home page.

Not that it's actually possible to see if anyone is posting something there without having an account anyway...

Our colleague Pål Ellingsen was on the news with his take on the recent issues with emergency phone numbers.

Pining for the fjords? We're looking for a new colleague in information technology for our campus in Haugesund! This is a teaching position for our BSc in IT with research time allocation for (associate) professors.

There's a maritime cluster in Haugesund that we have good connections with, and they're quite IT/cyber-affine. Plus they have cool 🚢-simulators to play with! We'll also be happy to work with you from Bergen & Førde.

Our own Yngve Lamo will be at the national “Arendalsuka” in the debate on “Digital Health in Analog Municipalities” (Digital helse i analoge kommuner)!

Yngve has background (and opinions) on digital healthcare services, something he and other colleagues are working on here at HVL.

The event should also be streamed on Tuesday, 2024-08-13 17:00 - 17:45.

We're hiring a Postdoc in #formalmethods!

This exciting position is part of the Norwegian Research Council Young Research Talents project CROFLOW (Enabling Highly Automated Cross-Organisational Workflow Planning).

You should have experience in software verification, program analysis and/or formal modelling, or process mining.

CROFLOW collaborates with the Haukeland University Hospital, Uppsala University and the University of Lübeck.

@forteller Write up the actual requirements (when/who should be able to delete photos? should this work remotely or just in proximity? ...) and I'll turn this into a Bachelor-project next year at #HVL :-)

(Because I dabble in server-less stuff.)

But I would almost assume that some solution already exists somewhere, and an ESP32 might almost be enough, I'd guess.

Denne saken har mye, men avdelingsleiar ved Høgskulen på Vestlandet sin «Avdeling for arealforvaltning, drift og utvikling» ordlegger seg slik at en kan tro at han mener kontorene skal brukes nærmest døgnet rundt

Hi all! Greetings from #Bergen, the second largest city in Norway. I'm teaching statistics at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, #HVL. Also I'm administrator for our LMS, Canvas by Instructure. And dabbling with Data Science (learning analytics). Newest interest: iterate programming with Python in Emacs. Looking forward to see what others are doing!
