60, Li, comparing quality assurance mechanisms for student learning outcomes ...pochun Li
Â
This article is an ongoing doctoral research and it aims to compare academicsâ perceptions of quality assurance mechanisms for ensuring undergraduate student learning outcomes between Taiwan and England. Since 2012, the Foundation for Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan (2013) has been conducting the second 5-year cycle of higher education evaluation. The aim of this evaluation is to examine the mechanisms and practice of each department and graduate school for ensuring their student learning outcomes. The issue of student learning outcomes is an important trend in the global higher education, but some challenges must be dealt with in Taiwan during the processes of policy borrowing (Phillips, 2009) since the new policy mainly refers experience to the UKâs quality assurance and the USâs accreditation systems. The primary challenges are the construction and implementation of the quality assurance mechanisms for learning outcomes in each university, and it has been argued that some implicit and non-cognitive learning outcomes are difficult to assess (Chen, 2013).
The empirical research is a comparative case study involving two purposively selected universities in England and Taiwan. In-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 10 academics in each country. Most participants work in the field of education and they are at the different levels- university, faculty and department. It is supposed that academicsâ perceptions could be different between the two countries, and academics within the same university could differ in their viewpoints on this issue. Also, public meeting minutes and internal quality assurance policies about student learning outcomes within the two universities were analysed.
The initial findings of this study will be presented and discussed, including the similarities and differences of quality assurance mechanisms for ensuring learning outcomes between the two countries. Another focus of discussion will be on academicsâ positive and negative perceptions of the implementation and influences of the mechanisms and their suggestions for the improvements of the systems.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Â
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as âpredictable inferenceâ.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
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.
4. The purpose was to compare the student learning styles of two online health education classes with an equivalent on-campus class. The purpose to determine the self-efficacy beliefs for distance education, achievement goals, and self-regulation abilities of students, which are some of the characteristics motivating students of distance education, and to suggest a relationship between these characteristics and academic success. Comparative study Non comparative study
5. Instrument In Comparative study as educators consider transplanting their traditional courses into distance learning settings, they should also consider assessing the learning styles of the students who enroll. Of the different learning style instruments, the Grasha-Reichmann Student Learning Style Scales (GRSLSS) seems ideal for assessing student learning preferences in a college-level distance learning setting.
