Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Existing individual-level human data cover large populations on many dimensions such as lifestyle, demography, laboratory measures, clinical parameters, etc. Recent years have seen large investments in data catalogues to FAIRify data descriptions to capitalise on this great promise, i.e. make catalogue contents more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. However, their valuable diversity also created heterogeneity, which poses challenges to optimally exploit their richness. METHODS: In this opinion review, we analyse catalogues for human subject research ranging from cohort studies to surveillance, administrative and healthcare records. RESULTS: We observe that while these catalogues are heterogeneous, have various scopes, and use different terminologies, still the underlying concepts seem potentially harmonizable. We propose a unified framework to enable catalogue data sharing, with catalogues of multi-center cohorts nested as a special case in catalogues of real-world data sources. Moreover, we list recommendations to create an integrated community of metadata catalogues and an open catalogue ecosystem to sustain these efforts and maximise impact. CONCLUSIONS: We propose to embrace the autonomy of motivated catalogue teams and invest in their collaboration via minimal standardisation efforts such as clear data licensing, persistent identifiers for linking same records between catalogues, minimal metadata 'common data elements' using shared ontologies, symmetric architectures for data sharing (push/pull) with clear provenance tracks to process updates and acknowledge original contributors. And most importantly, we encourage the creation of environments for collaboration and resource sharing between catalogue developers, building on international networks such as OpenAIRE and research data alliance, as well as domain specific ESFRIs such as BBMRI and ELIXIR.

Abstract
In this paper, we report on new findings about the results of an empirical study which aims to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic has been shaping nomadic work practices and also challenging the lifestyles of digital nomads (DN). To do this, we collected textual data from posts in a Reddit community. We argue that, in order to understand how to design technical solutions for the so-called 'new normal' working conditions, one way to approach this is to understand how digital nomads are being impacted in their work practices and routines, and also how they are seeing the future of their technology-mediated work-life space. Finally, we show how evidence collected from DNs about their experiences and difficulties perceived during the pandemic period can inform CSCW researchers worldwide about future design-oriented strands.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to reveal a set of new results obtained from an ongoing investigation focused on the way that the particular characteristics which are inherent to 'wannabe' digital nomads' activities contribute to the sustainability of the whole digital nomad ecosystem. In line with the premise of this research, we assume the importance of understanding the impacts that are being felt in the personal knowledge management ecology practices and routines of digital nomads as experienced by a specific online population (i.e., Reddit user base), together with a deep and wide examination of their preferences and expectations regarding the technology-mediated work-life issues that exert a direct influence on the digital nomad community. To this end, we gathered and further processed text posts and comments from users in the '/r/digitalnomad' subreddit. From a sociotechnical standpoint, the empirical data extracted from this sample population about the wannabe/how to be digital nomad symbiotic ecosystem can provide insightful information for researchers worldwide about future design-level interventions. © 2022 IEEE.

Abstract
In this paper we present findings from a bibliometric evaluation of scientific publications on human-AI systems, indexed in the Dimensions database over the past five years (2018 to 2022). The study maps the research landscape in this burgeoning area, as it relates to the topic of collaboration. To this end, we assessed publication and citation counts over time, authorship-level indicators, and keyword occurrence frequency. We also examined funding information as an indicator of research priorities, alongside usage-based statistics and alternative metrics such as social media mentions, recommendations, and reads. Our preliminary findings highlight a significant focus on aspects like trust, explainability, transparency, and autonomy in highly complex scenarios through the use of generative models and hybrid interaction techniques. The results also reveal a growth in the number of publications and funding grants, although a certain lack of maturity is observable in terms of citation patterns and coherence of thematic clusters. © 2022 IEEE.

Abstract
The main objective of continuing education for trainers is to promote the updating, improvement, and
acquisition of new didactic and pedagogical skills that cover different fields of action, namely the
design, development, and implementation of training programs in the field of research and
experimentation of new approaches and methodologies applied to diversified audiences and contexts,
especially in e-Learning and b-Learning environments.
To fulfill these competencies, the IEFP National Centre for Trainer Qualification (CNQF), besides
managing and coordinating the training and certification system for trainers in Portugal, has been
developing a modular structure for the Initial Pedagogical Training of Trainers and the Continuous
Pedagogical Training of the Distance Trainer (e-Trainer) to contribute to the acquisition and
development of pedagogical and technical competences of trainers that will contribute to raising the
standards of quality of the training provided.
Technological innovation and evolution launch new challenges to Trainers requiring a great effort to
adapt and master both from the point of view of pedagogical models and communication processes in
learning environments and digital content. This new Continuous Pedagogical Training Referential in
Digital Content for Self-Learning (e-Content) was designed in this context. It explores the pedagogical
and technological dimensions of producing digital content for distance learning environments.
This article presents the fundamentals of this framework, its application, and validation in a case study
supported by two e-Content training courses. With this case study and in a perspective of continuous
improvement, we intend to understand how the modular structure of the adopted framework influences
the results obtained by the trainees of the e-Content training courses and their degree of satisfaction.

Abstract
This position paper provides an overview of the most important practices in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) used in educational contexts, with a focus on the main platforms used for teaching (LMS) to support the development of a research work at EduardoMondlane University (UEM) in Mozambique. To that end, definitions and descriptions of relevant terms, a brief historical overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and an overview of the common goals and practices of using computational methods in educational contexts are provided. The state of the art regarding the adaptation and use of Artificial Intelligence is presented and we discuss the potential benefits and the open challenges. The paper also presents the methodology and key steps which will be developed at UEM to achieve the research goals.
