CHI2014 - Crowdsourcing Step-by-Step Information Extraction to Enhance Existi...Juho Kim
Millions of learners today use how-to videos to master new skills in a variety of domains. But browsing such videos is often tedious and inefficient because video player interfaces are not optimized for the unique step-by-step structure of such videos. This research aims to improve the learning experience of existing how-to videos with step-by-step annotations.
We first performed a formative study to verify that annotations are actually useful to learners. We created ToolScape, an interactive video player that displays step descriptions and intermediate result thumbnails in the video timeline. Learners in our study performed better and gained more self-efficacy using ToolScape versus a traditional video player.
To add the needed step annotations to existing how-to videos at scale, we introduce a novel crowdsourcing workflow. It extracts step-by-step structure from an existing video, including step times, descriptions, and before and after images. We introduce the Find-Verify-Expand design pattern for temporal and visual annotation, which applies clustering, text processing, and visual analysis algorithms to merge crowd output. The workflow does not rely on domain-specific customization, works on top of existing videos, and recruits untrained crowd workers. We evaluated the workflow with Mechanical Turk, using 75 cooking, makeup, and Photoshop videos on YouTube. Results show that our workflow can extract steps with a quality comparable to that of trained annotators across all three domains with 77% precision and 81% recall.

COVID-busters: 7 tools for remote learning with Moodlemylearningspace
This is a recording of the online presentation titled 'COVID-busters: 7 tools for remote learning with Moodle' by Chad Outten from My Learning Space at Moodle Moot Global 2020 #MootGlobal20.
Abstract ///
In 2020, our world was changed by the coronavirus pandemic code-named COVID-19. Situations and events have emerged which, until now, were only imaginable in a Hollywood script.
The impact of COVID is without precedent in our modern times. Nothing and nobody has been spared. Every country, economy, business, household and individual - has been affected in some way.
And then, there's education. University campuses and schools have closed their doors. Students are attending lectures and classes, virtually. And office workers have been told to work (and learn) remotely, from home.
Many believe COVID represents a challenge for education. This is true. However, I also see an opportunity for a paradigm shift which empowers us to re-think the way we learn.
This presentation offers 7 tools to facilitate remote learning with Moodle.
In a time of great crisis - we need to be courageous. As educators - we can be the brave heroes. We are essential workers - in the front line.
This is my presentation on m-learning of a workshop at Geraldton (Western Australia). Please note the first 13 slides are the same as E-learning: Evolution (Web 2.0) presentation
Since discovering the joys of Moodle around 15 years ago, Chad has evaluated hundreds, probably thousands of Moodle sites, in a range of sectors, demographics and geographies - just a few sites were excellent, most were mediocre and some were plain terrible.
Based on his wealth of experience, Chad wants to share with you Moodle’s Secret Sauce: 5 key ingredients to help improve your Moodle site. And the result: better online learning, job performance and business outcomes.
Which ingredients are in the Secret Sauce recipe? Here's 5 key ingredients covered in this presentation.
1. Learner experience
2. Course design
3. Assessment
4. Reporting
5. Web responsiveness

Agile Mobile Strategies on a Shoestring BudgetAaron Grant
As more students bring multiple smart devices to campus, the need to keep up with their needs and expectations for using these devices is more important than ever. OU has gone through multiple iterations of their App to address these new exceptions including a price increase on software and licensing and support.
Those Universities with budget and staff constraints, but want to meet student expectations will benefit from this discussion. Topics will focus on strategies, lessons learned and what the future holds with Mobile.

iDo or iDon't ‐ Using Tablets in the Classroom - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Lucy Parker, California State University, Northridge
myCSUNtablet Initiative is a partnership of California State University, Northridge and Apple, Inc. that seeks to reduce the cost and increase the quality of learning materials for students. Participating students will use iPads and gain immediate access to e-books and related e-learning materials in a suite of courses in select majors. Participating faculty will receive an iPad and help from professional course designers who understand the relation among effective teaching, creative use of authoring tools, and accessible design. Why CSUN? The academic plans and IT Vision@2015 have anticipated a widening deployment of portable devices and cloud technology for teaching and learning. Faculty already are using such strategies to engage students with different styles and paces for learning. CSUN students are urban commuters, tech-savvy, and on tight budgets. Portability, cost control, and media-enriched content that can be personalized are their common expectations. Why Apple? Many companies make tablets; several produce and solicit applications but few have thought as holistically as Apple. They are sensitive to users’ preferences and have created a system that integrates devices, applications, authoring tools, repositories, and consultation. We at CSUN can benefit from progressive, coherent thinking as we re-think course design and delivery. Why now? At CSUN, the largest college has issued iPads to the faculty, as have departments in other colleges. The device has become the industry standard in nearby K-12 and helping professions, with whom we place interns and graduates. And the governor signaled in the budget an interest in supporting technological solutions for persistent problems in access, cost, and completion in higher education. Finally, the surge in hybrid courses and e-books that our faculty author indicates that CSUN has reached a tipping point for strategic change. An iPad-centric curriculum also offers some exciting possibilities to transform information delivery as well as student participation. Like all pedagogy, it can be a positive and even progressive form of education. Or not, depending on how the actual curriculum is designed and implemented. Professors need to change their archaic views on attention spans and realize that students and society in general are integrating the digital world into the real world. For better or worse, it’s inevitable and professors need to play along. This lecture will discuss TOP (10-20) iPad uses in the classrooms but also discusses concerns on standards of teaching and learning and if low-cost faculty-generated etextbooks are a real match to top quality publisher generated traditional books/ebooks.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
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 “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
