Arc 211: American Diversity and Design: Haiyue ChangHaiyue Chang
Â
This is all my discussion answers of Diversity and Design this semester. I have learnt a lot in this class, not only thinking methods, but also a positive lifestyle. And I really appreciate that since it gave me another viewing position to see the world.
This research paper focuses on the life and work of Chinese born artist Ai Weiwei. Notoriously famous for his political stance against the Chinese Government, Ai Weiwei has expressed his viewpoints through his art for well over twenty years.
We will look into the design movements during his period, how he managed to create his art, and how did he use it to its maximum potential.
This paper has been divided into three parts.
The first part focuses on the origins of Ai Weiwei, his introduction in the art world, and the design methods and artists that influenced him most. We will also take an in-depth look at the artistâs design process, highlighting in general, some of his early works as examples.
The second part of the paper focuses on critically evaluating his design methods. This is further subdivided into three of Weiweiâs famous designs over the decade. Each artwork will be assessed in terms of concept, method of design, and impact on society.
The third part is a summarized compilation of our results about the artist and his work. Here we draw our personal opinions about the artist, whether his methods are logical and effective, and what we have personally learned from this project.
Provides instruction on how to create a multimedia DLO by describing the components of DLOs (introduction learning objective, explanation, examples, relevant concepts, assessment and summary), showing how various multi media additions can enhance the DLO, offering three different examples to show the process and how the various components can be arranged to create a learning object.

Teaching Visual Literacy Skills in a One-Shot Sessionmollyjschoen
Â
Just as one-shot information literacy sessions can be implemented in college classes to improve studentsâ research capabilities, similarly-styled sessions on image research can increase their visual literacy skills. While most students interact with images daily, capturing photos on their mobile devices, reading picture-heavy articles on websites, and reposting images from social media pages, such activities do not transform them into critical viewers and users of visual media. To be considered visually literate, as defined by the Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education by the Association of College and Research Libraries, an individual must âeffectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media.â
A wide range of research and critical thinking strategies may be introduced through these instructional sessions. Locating trustworthy sources online, evaluating the content and quality of images, scrutinizing manipulated images, understanding the implications of copyright, and creating an effective system to store digital files and manage citations are among the recommended topics for presentation. Teaching strategies for image research sessions include using live web searches in both scholarly and open access resources to highlight their relative strengths and weaknesses, using real life examples of image use scenarios to provide context, and structuring presentations based around the specific class in which it will be taught. The desired outcome of teaching an instructional session is to provide students with the tools and confidence they need to effectively use high-quality visual materials in their undergraduate years and beyond.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
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 wasnât 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.

Editor's Notes
Welcome to Cite It Right, a mandatory online workshop put together by librarians at the Faculty of Information. The purpose of this workshop is to acquaint you with the University of Torontoâs position on plagiarism and academic integrity, and to inform you of the resources available to help you with citations and writing. All incoming iSchool students are required to become well acquainted with the material covered in this workshop.
In keeping with the universityâs dedication to academic integrity, these slides will cover parts of the University of Toronto Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters as they relate to plagiarism and review proper citation practices by examining examples of intentional and unintentional plagiarism. Additionally, resources and services are highlighted to assist you with citation and writing.
It is your responsibility to:
(1) Review the content contained within this PowerPoint presentation, including all slides and notes; AND
(2) Complete and submit the Cite It Right Quiz by no later than Sunday, Sept. 17, 2017. A record of your Cite It Right workshop completion will be retained by the Faculty of Information and may be made available to iSchool administrators and instructors.

Link to U of T website on Academic Integrity: http://academicintegrity.utoronto.ca/Â Â
The Faculty of Information makes this workshop mandatory because the iSchool, like the rest of the University of Toronto, takes academic integrity very seriously.
Most of you already practice good habits that ensure that you are honest in your intellectual work. Many of you may also belong to a scholarly or professional body that maintains a set of scholarly and professional ethics, including standards against cheating and plagiarism.
Unfortunately, each year, the University catches incidents of cheating, plagiarism, and other acts of academic dishonesty. Such acts tarnish the reputation of the academic institution, and are in violation of the Universityâs Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters (2016). By virtue of belonging to the University of Toronto, the administration expects you to follow the Code. âNot knowingâ the code is not an adequate excuse for committing an academic offense.
The link posted on the slide above will lead you to the full text of the Code. Weâre now going to go through highlights of the document.
Section B of the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters lists the acts that the University considers to be academic offences. On the slide in front of you is a summary of these actsâbut do note that this list is not exhaustive.
In addition to the offences listed in the previous slide, faculty members and students have a responsibility not to aid others in committing an academic offence:
Faculty members and instructors will not approve of any form of cheating or plagiarism. They are obligated to report any acts of plagiarism that they detect. No matter how well your instructor likes you, they cannot shield you because it places their own career and reputation on the line.
It is considered an academic offence to alter, forge, or falsify academic records; or to engage in any form of academic dishonesty.
Section C and Appendix C of the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters cover the penalties that the University can enforce.
Please review the offences listed on the slide.
Note: Obtaining a â0â on an assignment, reduction of the final grade, and failing a course are the best case scenarios. A notation on your transcript indicating that you have been found guilty of an academic offence means that any hopes you may have had of pursuing further academic studies are effectively over. If you are expelled, you will no longer be able to obtain your degree. And if you have already obtained your degree, it can be cancelled retroactively by the University.
Pop Quiz! Use the following questions to test your knowledge.
A frequently asked question: I have an idea written into my paper, but I donât remember where it came from. It will take a lot of time to go back and figure out where it came from. Do I still have to cite anything?
Answer on the next slide.
The answer is: Yes!
Youâll have to go back and try to figure out which sources you looked at, and document those sources through in-text citations and bibliographical references.
Another frequently asked question is, âIf I use content composed by someone else, whether it is a piece of text, an image, a video clip, or a song, do I have to cite that source?â A specific example might be: I have a video assignment for a class, Iâm using a song that my friend wrote for the soundtrack. She gave me permission to use it. Do I still need to cite the song?
Answer on the next slide.
The answer is: Yes!
You must provide songwriting credit to your friend, because you are not the creator of that content and you must provide attribution for using it in your assignment.
So, how do you avoid plagiarism? Here are our suggestions:
Use references and in-text citations as required by the citation style you are following. Donât just list everything in a bibliography. Your in-text citations and references should reflect the specific ideas and body of works of others, upon which you have built your paper/assignment.
Donât âcut and pasteâ. Choose and use quotations carefully. Just as importantly, make sure that you have not quoted your source out of context!
Use quotation marks accurately: Remember that they must be used for direct quotations.
Paraphrase carefully. Choose your own words and forms of expression. If you borrow words from the original source, use quotation marks around them.
Make sure that your writing clearly indicates when you are citing others, versus when you are expressing your own, original thought.
Take thorough notes that include all the sources you have read, so that you know where to go if you ever need to re-trace your work or verify a statement.
Remember that it is better to over cite than to under cite.
Common knowledge does not need to be cited, but you should use common knowledge judiciously.

Pop Quiz! Use the following questions to test your knowledge.
Which statement in the slide above expresses common knowledge?
See the answer on the next slide.
Statement (a) is common knowledge.
Statement (b) is an opinion. If it is someone elseâs opinion, you must provide credit to that person by including a citation to the source. If it is your opinion, you will need to provide evidence to support your claim.
Common causes of plagiarism include improperly paraphrasing someone elseâs words, not using quotation marks when necessary, and not clearly distinguishing between someone elseâs ideas and oneâs own.
Try the next exercise: (1) Youâll be given a quotation. (2) Compare it with the paraphrase. (3) Spot the problem with the paraphrase.
This exercise is adapted from the video âChanging some words but copying whole phrasesâ, by Kevin Delaplante, published in 2010, https://youtu.be/NK7PdBBG5po.
The quotation on the left has been pulled from: Krmpotich, C. (2010). Remembering and repatriation: The production of kinship, memory and respect. Journal of Material Culture, 15(2): 157-179.
Thanks to Professor Cara Krmpotich for her permission to use an excerpt of her work for this exercise.
The text on the right side is an example of a paraphrase. In reading these two pieces of text, what are some problems that you can spot with the paraphrase?
Letâs review the problems with this âparaphraseâ.
It looks more like a âcut and pasteâ job than an actual paraphrase:
There is no attribution given to Cara Krmpotich, the original author
No quotation marks have been inserted, even though many of the words are verbatim from the original source.
Even if quotation marks are inserted, and attribution is given to Prof. Krmpotich, too many words from the source have been copied for this to be a true paraphrase. Notice that only 8 out of 36 words in the sentence are âoriginalâ to the student, while the rest come directly from the quotation.
*This would be an example of plagiarism.*
Quotation has been pulled from the following journal article: Krmpotich, C. (2010). Remembering and repatriation: The production of kinship, memory and respect. Journal of Material Culture, 15(2): 157-179
This exercise is adapted from the video Changing some words but copying whole phrases, by Kevil Delaplate, published in 2010. https://youtu.be/NK7PdBBG5po
Take a look at the text on the right side of the slide. This is an example of an appropriate paraphrase because:
The student gives attribution to Prof. Krmpotich.
The formatting of the in-text citation clearly denotes that the entire sentence is an expression of Prof. Krmpotichâs idea, rather than an expression of the studentâs own idea.
The student attempts to summarize the key idea contained within the quotation, using the studentâs own words. By using his/her own words, the student demonstrates an honest attempt to synthesize what he/she has read.
Note: The citation style used in this example is APA.

Pop Quiz! Use the following questions to test your knowledge.
Read the passage on the above slide and identify the pieces of information that are needed in order to give correct attribution for the quotation. (The solution is posted on the next slide.)
This quotation here comes from Chris Spence, the former Toronto District School Board Director who was forced to resign in January 2013, after his acts of plagiarism were discovered.
The quotation was taken from a newspaper article. See the next slide for the information needed to provide accurate attribution.
This slide answers the question âWhat information do you need in order to give correct attribution?â
In addition to inserting an in-text citation at the point where the quotation is reproduced, many citation styles require a citation entry in a bibliography or reference list. Below is an example of one such entry formatted for an APA citation style bibliography:
Rushowy, K. (2013 July 25). âChris Spence breaks silence on plagiarism scandalâ, The Toronto Star. Retrieved from
http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/07/25/chris_spence_breaks_silence_on_plagiarism_scandal.html
Consider this next question. âIn my latest paper, I inserted my own sketch of a public domain photo. Since the photo is no longer under copyright, I donât need to cite anything. True or false?â
See the answer on the next slide.
False!
âPublic domainâ simply means that the content is no longer under copyright protection, and that the content can be used elsewhere without prior permission or payment of royalties.
Although something is in the public domain, you still need to credit the source from which you obtained the content. Always provide a citation to the source whether it is from an archival collection, an image database, or a website.
Remember, you must cite the listed sources
Now that you know what needs to be cited, letâs turn to the question of how to cite those sources. Review the points covered on this slide.

Pop Quiz! Use the following questions to test your knowledge
Is the following statement true or false? Because of a family crisis, I had to rush through my essay. I donât have time to create a bibliography, but since I have a few in-text citations, I wonât be penalized.
False!
An appropriate way of handling this situation would be to speak with your instructor as early as possible. Notify them of your situation and request an extension on the assignment deadline. While your instructor reserves the right to deny extension requests, getting a lower grade on a late but properly cited assignment is better than failing a course, being suspended, or being expelled.
Ensuring that citations are captured correctly can be labour intensive, but the good news is that there are many tools available to help you with this part of the writing process. The University of Toronto Libraries guide has an excellent citation management tools comparison table: http://uoft.me/1wK. Register for the Cite in APA, Zotero, and/or RefWorks iSkills workshops to learn how to properly cite, save your references while writing, and more.
Citation management tools such as Zotero and RefWorks can assist you with the following:
- Create databases/folders of references
- Import references from library catalogues, indexes, abstracting services, the Internet.
- Some have plug-ins available for Microsoft Word, Pages, or Open Office, so that you can easily add references from your database to the paper that you are writing, in the citation style that you choose.
Some tools also allow you to synchronize and share your references with other people.
