The present paper examines how to develop technology-mediated educational practices from acquisition and participation type approaches towards more sustained, collaborative knowledge creation, where students’ work is organized around developing shared epistemic objects (artefacts, processes, practices). Typical forms of technologymediated collaborative practices in education are illustrated through a framework of ‘stairs of collaboration’ related to three metaphors of learning: knowledge acquisition, participation and knowledge creation. It is maintained that typical functionalities in existing educational webtechnologies, such as various Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), are quite inflexible and inadequate for shared work on epistemic objects. The main focus in the present paper is on describing how a basic platform supporting collaborative knowledge creation, called Knowledge Practices Environment (KPE), has been built to provide affordances to work around epistemic objects and practices.

Knowledge Practices Environment: Design and Application of Technology for Trialogical Learning2008 •
Current networked society present learners with challenges that cannot be sufficiently coped with in educational contexts that are characterized by transmission or participation epistemologies on learning. To address these challenges, the trialogical approach to learning is introduced which focuses on the ways in which people and their communities create knowledge through the tool-mediated development of shared objects. Supporting sustained collaborative knowledge creation requires learning technology that is modular and extensible rather than monolithic and fixed in nature which characterizes most existent learning technologies. The current paper presents the design considerations and the application of the KP-environment which aims to support these object-oriented practices.

Ramla, Danny Mass Street: The Glass Vessels2023 •
Three hundred and fifty glass fragments were discovered during the 1993 excavation on Danny Mass Street in Ramla (see Segal 2023); most were body fragments or small identifiable vessel fragments, which were too small to be drawn. Forty-seven diagnostic fragments were chosen to represent the glass assemblage, consisting of domestic tableware and a few decorated vessels (Figs. 1–4). This assemblage was among the very first study from a stratified excavation in Ramla, and some of its vessels have already been published in a preliminary manner (Gorin-Rosen 1999; 2008b). Since that early excavation, large quantities of glass have been collected in excavations in Ramla, many of which have been published, including from excavations along Danny Mass Street (Gorin-Rosen 2013; Katsnelson 2016). Nevertheless, this assemblage remains important, as it includes very characteristic subtypes, which were also chemically analyzed. Most vessels are well known from other glass corpora found in Ramla and other Islamic sites in the region. The glass finds from the 1993 excavation on Danny Mass Street are herein presented and discussed in chronological and typological order, based on parallels from well-dated sites. References to the stratigraphy will be mentioned in the text and will be included in the conclusions.

About the invasion to the Eastern Europe Protoscythian nomads from the Eastern Eurasia in 9 millennia BC, except Karasuk culture people from Altai, people of Begazy-Dandybai culture of Kazakhstan. The new findings of Burchmulla type arrows of Begazy-Dandybai culture of Kazakhstan in Ukraine mark the campaigns of the invaders to Left-bank Ukraine (Kharkiv, Summy, Chernihiv regions). Many of such arrows were found near Kremenchuk (Dnipro transfer?) and right-bank Cherkasy region, Podillia and Bukovyna. Apart from the arrows, there are markers of this migration wave – bronze items of Eastern type weaponry, first of all, light slotted heads of spears or darts, “Kent” and “Shagalaly” types, which autor also connects to the Begazy-Dandybai culture of Kazakhstan. The similarity of forms of slotted heads of Begazy-Dandybai culture spears 800–700 BC and slotted heads of “Zlatopol” type spears Berezhnivka-Maivka Zrubna culture of Ukraine 1600 – 1300 BC can be explained by the migration of this culture’s people in 1300–1200 BC to the east and the participation of Loboikivka metallurgy tradition in the emergence of the metallurgy of “platen” cultures of Eastern Eurasia 1200–800 BC . Therefore, it can be assumed that part of the Protoscythian nomads, which came to the Eastern Europe from Eastern Eurasia in ІХ–VIII centuries BC consisted of people of Begazy-Dandybai culture and was ethnically close to the people of present Eastern Ukraine of that time. Keywords: Cimmerians, Protoscythians, Eurasian steppe archaeology, Scythian origin.
