Within the last years, this topic is changing tremendously, as its impact on daily life becomes increasingly visible. Nowadays, everyone not only needs to manage data of various kinds, but also continuously generates large amounts of data. In addition, Big Data and data analysis are intensively discussed in public dialogue because of their influences on society. For the understanding of such discussions and for being able to participate in them, fundamental knowledge on data management is necessary. Especially, being aware of the threats accompanying the ability to analyze large amounts of data in nearly real-time becomes increasingly important. This raises the question, which key competencies are necessary for daily dealings with data and data management. In this paper, we will first point out the importance of data management and of Big Data in daily life. On this basis, we will analyze which are the key competencies everyone needs concerning data management to be able to handle data in a proper way in daily life.

This study used mixed methods to analyze the perceptions of graduate and undergraduate students on the use of social networks, more specifically Facebook as a learning tool. Fifty surveys were returned representing a 65 \% response rate. Survey questions included both closed and open-ended questions. Findings suggested that even though students rated themselves relatively well in having requisite technology skills, and 94 \% of students used Facebook primarily for social use, they were hesitant to migrate these skills to academic use because of concerns of privacy, believing that other platforms could fulfil the same purpose, and by not seeing the validity to use Facebook in establishing social presence. What lies at odds with these beliefs is that when asked to identify strategies in Facebook that enabled social presence to occur in academic work, the majority of students identified strategies in five categories that lead to social presence establishment on Facebook during their coursework.}, language = {en} } @article{FietkauKindsmuellerGoettel2015, author = {Fietkau, Julian and Kindsm{\"u}ller, Martin Christof and G{\"o}ttel, Timo}, title = {Rapid Prototyping von Interaktionskonzepten in der universit{\"a}ren MCI-Lehre}, series = {HDI 2014 : Gestalten von {\"U}berg{\"a}ngen}, volume = {2015}, journal = {HDI 2014 : Gestalten von {\"U}berg{\"a}ngen}, number = {9}, editor = {Schubert, Sigrid and Schwill, Andreas}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-84718}, pages = {153 -- 160}, year = {2015}, abstract = {In der Lehre zur MCI (Mensch-Computer-Interaktion) stellt sich immer wieder die Herausforderung, praktische {\"U}bungen mit spannenden Ergebnissen durchzuf{\"u}hren, die sich dennoch nicht in technischen Details verlieren sondern MCI-fokussiert bleiben.

Firstly, the CSE competence model was derived based on theoretical concepts and then secondly the model was empirically examined and refined using expert interviews. Furthermore, the paper depicts the development and examination of a competence measurement instrument, which was derived from the competence model. Therefore, the instrument was applied to a large sample of students at the gymnasium's upper class level.

The evaluators concluded that the major issues were that: not all professional learners would self-organise and network; and few would wish to mentor their colleagues voluntarily.
