The East Asian Studies Macroscope: Infrastructure for Collaborative Scholars...Peter Broadwell
The East Asian Studies Macroscope (EASM) is a joint effort by faculty and staff from the UCLA Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, the UCLA Library, and the UCLA Center for Digital Humanities to build partnerships with institutions in East Asia with significant digitized text archives for the purpose of developing software tools and practices for advanced collaborative research using digital corpora. These efforts build on the field’s notable successes in creating single-corpora digital collections and interfaces, seeking to develop technological infrastructure and methods that can work with multiple corpora held at different institutions.
This talk will review briefly the results of EASM pilot projects conducted with large digitized collections of poetry from the Tang Dynasty and Heian-period Japan. These examples highlight the key infrastructural elements of the proposed platform and their contributions to scholarship: 1) remote, authorized computational access to multiple large-scale corpora, especially those that cannot be shared in full due to their size and/or access restrictions; 2) support for analytical tools that operate across collections, such as multi-corpus topic modeling and network analysis; and 3) features for scholarly collaboration at all stages of the research process, enabling sharing and critiquing of experimental workflows, results, and visualizations.

Office hours: W. 2100p-2200p
Schedule Number: 4220
(GE C2: Humanities)
This syllabus is not set in stone and is subject to change at any time.
Course Description: This is a discussion-based course that will interrogate: the future, technology, sports, popular culture, and media. You will be using your selves as maps through our shared culture. We will explore how speculation can be a form of creative inquiry. We will watch films, listen to music, read books (it is university, you kind of have to read), and have conversations to make the argument that one of the best ways to know the world is to imagine it.
What do you get?: In exchange for your full participation, you will develop the skills to think critically about what you receive through all of your senses and sense-making apparatus. Thinking critically means that you can call “B.S.” when you see or hear it. You will learn how to formulate and defend written and spoken arguments; along with being able to see past the surface explanation of things. This means that when you call “B.S.”, you’ll be able to explain “why” you think this, as well as offer up information to bolster your point.
Learning Objectives:
(a) Students' papers consider questions of how values intersect with/influence/diverge from culture as they are addressed in a range of literary and visual texts produced across the globe.
(b) Students' papers require close reading of written texts and close examination of images, and articulation of the student's own understanding of them, while acknowledging the possibility of multiple interpretations.
(c) Papers require in-depth analysis of works and ideas, and attention to appropriate methods of inquiry in the humanities.
(d) Papers and course discussions require comparisons between works representing various global communities past and present, which ensures that students will gain understanding of other value systems and ways of life.
(e) Papers require close engagement with the works under study, stimulating students' appreciation of literature and the arts and laying an indispensable foundation for their active cultivation.
Course Requirements: Class participation is a must. If you want a good grade, you have to participate. We only meet 150 minutes per week, but if you work hard, I’ll work even harder.
Attendance: Come to class. It isn’t algebra. Show up, you learn and earn a grade. If you don’t show up, you miss out and your grade is negatively impacted. You get three (3) absences. After that, you lose two (5) points for each subsequent absence.
3x5 index cards: A 3x5 index card with your name, date, and a question about the current material is due at the start of each class period. These cards will be used as prompts to help engineer our class discussion. They are also a secondary attendance check.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
Welcome to your Freshman Orientation Class for Information Literacy.My name is Tamara Carr and I am one of the instructional librarians here@ CCC.
I want you to keep in mind that The first priority of the library and college is to serve YOU!! So pleassssseee take advantage of all the resources the library offers ~I am going to ask u a favor…. Please Remember I am a librarian because I love my job~so don’t ever hesitate to ask any questions.
Here are the librarys summer hours ~feel free to stop by the reference desk,email or just leave a phone message if you have questions
Essentially well go overnarrowing your topic & then searching our catalog, databasesand other resourcesat the end we will set time to set aside some time to take a tour of the library where you will be able to get a library card
One of my jobs here is to Provide information literacy instruction which teaches you the abilities necessary to recognize when information is needed and to locate, evaluate, effectively use, and communicate information in its various formats.This z actually what we don’t want
We may not realize it but most of us search out information on a daily basis………………………..You just don’t think of them as topics for research But they are …just that…think about it…If you need~Directions to drive to a new storeOr The Best cell phone in ur price range? We locate a source of info we trust A map or directional web siteConsumer reportsA relible friendAnd then we learn what we need to learn
So you may get an assignment that looks something like thisMy job is to get you to the point where you can easily complete these assignmentsHave any of your teachers already given out assignments? Do any of them provide topics or are you to come up with them on your own? Ok so some Topics are sometimes assigned to you but if they aren'tyou will need to select and narrow a topic…
If you have the option of picking a research topic entirely of your own choosing, keep this one selection criteria in mindSelect something of interest to youIt may make the research process more enjoyable Bc you might have your own experience and knowledge on the topic to draw from and you may be more motivated to learn about the topic bc its something ur interested in….So stop and think about it don’t just choose something to get it out of your way
You know how n some classes the teacher asks that “we go around the room and have you tell me your name and something about urself” …im going to ask you to do that now but a little differently“The way you will be able to participate is by sending a text message so We’re going to need to grab your cell phones but remember to leave them on silent.
You simply send a message to the five digit number 37607. In the body of the message, you’ll type 55395 keyword for your major …undecided, education,
Nice, so now that we have ideas of what we like … and for some of you that will be ur major! These are several resources that will assist you with topic selection~READ ABOVEDo any of you have experience with these already? Cool..Well discuss the resources bc they are great topic narrowing tools, background sources and excellent to shop for topicsI also have a handout for you with the topics that u might give u a jumpstart on a topic if ur still stuck
***Ok so how does this relate to information literacy and research?
On a practical level our books are grouped on the shelves using a system that gathers books on similar topics together,this classification system is called the libray of congress call numbers
LOC uses letters and/or numbers (call numbers) to arrange the books so that books on the same topic are together. A great way to narrow down your topic…. give me something… ok so you would go to that section and start lookingThe arrangement results in "serendipitous browsing:" you find one book in the catalog, go to the shelf, and, an even better book is sitting right next to itThe first two lines describe the subject of the book.DS559.45 = Vietnamese ConflictThe third line often represents the author's last name.H = HallinThe last line represents the date of publication.SHOW PIC OF CATALOG
This understanding of how knowledge can be thought of as bodies of information that are organiaxed from broad areas to more specific blocks of information will be most useful as you begin to think about choosing, narrowing and focusing your research topicsSO I Am going over this because many students, including myself to this day, pick a topics that are too braod, meaning that it would take a book or very larg paper to address the topic. If you think your topic is too broad you will need to focus the topic by selecting a portion of the topic to write about. Focusing a broad topic can be challenging but we will go over some examples we already went over serendipidous browsing whih is one of my favorites~ and the great thing is you can
Search the contents of in the broad tpic you can browse the contents for a more specific focusded topic
So lets get some more Resources and tips to help you narrow a topic: subject encyclopedias general topick like computer games, consult one of the library subject encyclopedias. These encyclopedia cover a specific subject in depth….lets go to online website and do this real Enter video
So when you find a subject encyc on your borad topic and you need to identify a narrower topic you can scan the table of contents and index for ideas. In many cases you will encounter a n article on a particualr aspect of the broad subject that is interesting and this can serve as a starting point for your research projectSubject enclyclopedias are offered on many subject areas they are a great source of short blurbs that provide background info to help you quickly larn about the issues that relate to your topic~learn key persons, events, places, dates, terms
Presents clashing views on controversial issues on a broad topic. An overview essay outling the controversy is proviede in favor of one point of view for the issue and another essay in favor of the other points of view~ to review some go to the catalogue and type in viewpoints.
A well focused topic may have two parts : scope areyou going to write about the developemnet of wind power, environmental aspects of wind power or a particualr local governement regulation of wind power projectsSecond is the point you will want to make about he topic or the treatment you want to give the topic . Are you for or against do you have an argument do you have an insiguht you want to shareUse of a source of background info such as cq researcher to begin your research cannot be overempahzies. It is very difficult to locate the sources you neeed if you have little knowledge of the topic you are researching. It may be helpful to think of these background sources is this wasy: someone has already done some the work for you~ take advanatage of that.So we know some of the best resources to use for identifying narrowing and focusing topics. Once you have a topic you need to select some terms called keywords that you can use to search for information relating to your topic.
Look at these examples of narrowed research topics with tht keywords highlighted….READ ABOVE….youneed to select keywords due to the way most search interfaces work…the words you enter will be compared to the words in the records being searched. If you enter too many workds you are likely to receive few if any results.For example if you enter “what role should the courts play in the right to die cases” any articles returned will need to have many or all of those words somewhere in the record describing the articles. In one of our larger databases employing all these words in the search does not retrieve any articles but using the words “courts right to die” returns X articles/
