Reinventing the lecture: how student engagement and analytics can transform t...John Couperthwaite
Workshop at City University Learning and Teaching conference, 21st June 2017
This workshop will share best practice from other global practitioners on how the Echo360 system can transform the lecture experience for staff and students. By focusing on how this can improve student satisfaction, retention and outcomes, it also strongly relates to the other theme of ‘supporting student success’
The relevance of the lecture in mainstream education is now under greater scrutiny as institutions seek to make educational programmes more relevant to a new generation of discerning learners (JISC, 2016). When we teach in class, how do you know who is confused, who is bored, who hasn’t even bothered to attend, and perhaps more importantly, who has learnt anything? And how can we engage with learners beyond the classroom to stimulate inquiry, collaboration and feedback in a seamless educational experience?
This workshop will demonstrate how one answer is to reinvent the lecture, by integrating powerful new video, engagement and analytics tools, whilst retaining the valued teacher-learner interaction in teaching spaces. The Echo360 active learning platform empowers learners to engage more fully with teachers and each other before, during and after class. This approach to teaching also equips instructors with vital feedback on how learners are progressing, with powerful engagement metrics giving staff rare insights into the teaching-learning dynamic of a lecture (Rienties & Toetenel, 2016).
Evidence is now emerging that this mode of teaching can have a significant impact on critical learning measures, such as early warning of student failure (Samson, 2016), boosting retention (HEC, 2016), whilst increasing learning gain and exam scores (Montpetit, 2015). Students also value their ability to control the pace, place and mode of their learning (Gosper et al, 2008; Leadbeater et al, 2013), whilst receiving more immediate feedback on their progress (JISC, 2016).
Together, these flexible pedagogical tools have the potential to transform learning in all modes of teaching and training, both in the class and beyond.

Improving Assessment and Feedback | Paul Hellwage - Monash College | TLCANZ17Blackboard APAC
Assessment and Feedback is a focus at our institution, with an emphasis on providing high quality feedback to our students in a timely manner. Students are often intrinsically motivated to seek feedback that will help them engage with their subject (Higgins, et. al., 2002) and while feedback has been available and is valued, Weaver (2006) has indicated that adding comments could be more helpful.
To address these requests, we have focused on implementing Assessment and Feedback project with the introduction of Turnitin Feedback Studio across a number of courses at the College.
The two main reasons for the shift to Turnitin are: 1.) To increase student engagement by giving them more in depth and relevant feedback on their assessments, and 2.) Simplify and streamline teacher’s marking and workload.
By moving to Feedback Studio, we were able to continue to provide students access to rubrics and general comments, while significantly improving feedback by introducing overall verbal feedback and multiple different types of annotations. These annotations range from highlighting a common mistake to providing web links to resources that help students improve, for example, a website detailing the correct way to reference an assignment.
With a mix of: Rubrics, comments, written summations, verbal feedback, strikethrough, inline text and quickmarks providing links to resources, we have found that the students are being provided with extremely rich feedback that is very easy to process due to a smart, simple layout.
Moreover, students also have access to Feedback Studio’s originality and similarity reports. We encourage academic staff to allow students access to this feature for drafting and learning purposes. This empowers them to improve their referencing and paraphrasing skills without having to contact teaching staff.
Teaching and marking staff are also experiencing the benefit of this system. Despite the increase in feedback to students, the marking process has become more streamlined, with easy to use rubrics, drag and drop annotations and one-click verbal feedback helping to facilitate more efficient marking.
This session will detail the benefits outlined above and explain how the students and staff have embraced these changes.
Land of The Learning Giants: The Rise of MOOCsEamon Costello
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been heralded and decried in something of equal measure over the last four years. Their ultimate purpose and the effect they are having are still uncertain but given the level of maturity that has now reached we ought now to be able to attempt to answer some questions of this phenomenon. Following an overview of key issues for educational research on the topic of MOOCs this paper presents findings from studies we have conducted into
* Representations of MOOCs in the Irish Print Media: What are the narratives, who is telling it and why?
* Quality of education in MOOCs in particular regarding online testing
* The strategic drivers for higher education institutions in Ireland to develop MOOCs

Adopt an Open Textbook for Your Intro Course in Less Than 20 HoursErin Owens
Lightning Talk by Professor Erin Owens at Sam Houston State University (SHSU) PACE Teaching & Learning Conference, Aug 12, 2021:
High textbook costs disproportionately impact first-generation, minority, and low-income students. These costs can be especially hard to swallow in introductory courses outside a student’s major. While e-textbooks may lower the initial price-tag, they cannot be resold and are not ideal for all learners. But there’s another option: You can provide immediate, free digital access to an open textbook, with a low-cost print option available through the bookstore for students who prefer print. You can do it quickly, without sacrificing the convenience of supplementary materials, and if you’re feeling intimidated, the library can help. Learn more in this lightning session!

The Future is Open: Enhancing Pedagogy via Open Educational PracticesRajiv Jhangiani
Video recording available here: https://youtu.be/HZCxGtAPR9U
"Open educational practices" is a broad term that encompasses the creation and adoption of open textbooks and other open educational resources, open course development, and the use of “non-disposable assignments." This presentation makes a case for why the move away from traditional (closed) practices is not only desirable but inevitable, and how students, faculty, institutions, and our communities all stand to benefit greatly from this transformation.
Presentation discusses the basics of CC licensing, the effect of textbook costs, a study on the effectiveness of open texts, and places to find open texts
Learning at Scale: Using Research To Improve Learning Practices and Technolog...Maria H. Andersen
In the last 5 years, there has been a rise in what we might call "large-scale digital learning experiments." These take the form of centralized courses, vendor-created courseware, online homework systems, MOOCs, and free-range learning platforms. If we mine the research, successes, and failures coming out of these experiments, what can we discover about designing better digital learning experiences and technology for the learning of mathematics?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
