The INFINITY Learning Model in Thailand: Its Potential for Developing Countr...Dr Poonsri Vate-U-Lan
Online learning models are acknowledged to be key delivery systems in higher education because of their potential for lifelong learning initiatives. The main objective of this article is to present such a learning model, namely INFINITY, through a research project to investigate its effectiveness to utilize the potential of the Internet for the contemporary university classroom in developing countries with graduate students at two selected universities in Thailand. The learning model was developed to enhance the Internet literacy of students, one of the most crucial skills for the 21st century. The INFINITY learning model consists of eight steps: (1) I-Investigate Internet resources, (2) N-Navigate learning objectives, (3) F-Find focus and keywords, (4) I-Inquire about the reliability of resources, (5) N-Network information, (6) I-Illustrate and define the knowledge base and its functionality, (7) T-Transform into practice and (8) Y-Yearn for feedback and refinement. The exit survey found that the opinions of participants who had been learning via the INFINITY learning model were very positive with students acquiring different skills and various aspects of knowledge. Use of the INFINITY model added value to the educational process since it encouraged teenage and adult students to access updated information and was a very useful pattern of learning through an individual and collaborative learning process.

0760111 Cell Phones: The Good, The Bad, and the Solid GoldAli G
This integrated media series is focused on a simple thing most people take for granted: the cellular phone. This presentation isn't focused on its' strong points or its' history, however--oh no--this is all about the Anti-Cell Phone movement. More specifically, it's a brief introduction to the current lobbying efforts to ban the devices, and two entities going about it in two completely different manners.
As far as the design of the slideshow is concerned, a more gray scale approach was taken, to reflect the coloring of typical phone screens (as the background is a zoomed in image of a cellular screen), but also how cold phones as a technology are. Without the texts and phone calls, they hardly catch our eye. That was the theme chosen, and hopefully you see it as fitting. Without further interruption, I leave you to your viewing.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
