A key challenge facing commerce students on graduation is the ability to demonstrate industry ready capabilities such as critical analysis, and problem solving (Bolton 2018). To prepare for this challenge, higher education needs to design assessments that prepare students for corporate expectations. However, many students struggle with the presenting the critical analysis needed for commerce assessments. Dashboards are widely used within industry as tools to draw together volumes of information from diverse sources, track performance and make strategic decisions (Grewal, Motyka & Levy 2018; Schlee & Karns 2017). Adapting this idea, we have developed assessment tasks that utilise a dashboard design to help students structure their research, present analysis and develop insight as a way to articulate their professional capabilities. The dashboards are embedded in an early assessment in a first year University commerce course and provide visual layouts that guide students to manage the research and analysis.

Digital well being is an important aspect of our work and study that often takes ‘a back seat’ in our overloaded lives.
The aim of this paper is to reflect on what Digital Well being means to us and how ePortfolios can be used to achieve our life and work goals.
How do we define digital well being? Why is it important?
How can we refresh and use our ePortfolios to improve our job prospects, engagement or collaboration with others and work life balance?
What can we change in our approach when challenges overwhelm or stymie our Digital well being?

Assessment, ePortfolios and Blackboard - Leslie McInnes, Educational Designer...Blackboard APAC
UTS is in the early stages of adopting the Blackboard Portfolio. This presentation considers the potential of portfolios for developing authentic assessment and discusses the current uptake, issues and challenges faced in achieving the portfolio's potential. Our rollout of the Blackboard portfolio comes at a time of sharpened focus on authentic assessment. At UTS this focus is embodied in Learning.futures, an initiative that incorporates practice-oriented learning, authentic assessment tasks, development of graduate attributes beyond disciplinary knowledge and significant opportunities for students to receive feedback. The adoption by masters' programs in Nursing, Pharmacy, Education and Data Science and Innovation has been encouraging and these courses are engaging with the portfolio in a range of interesting ways _ from whole course professional identity development to showcasing clinical experience and curating content for potential employers. After an incident free initial implementation in February 2015, students have encountered a number of issues with the software. These yet to be resolved issues have coloured the experience for participants. The portfolio has promise but also many challenges and this presentation invites comment and discussion on three key areas:
- Managing Faculty collaboration/assessment across whole programs
- Provision of scaffolding in developing students' portfolio skills
- Provision of support for both students and staff in managing the software.

Abstract: We have all had to pivot rapidly from teaching face-to face to teaching fully online and have learned many lessons along the way, in a particularly short space of time. In many cases, if our IT groups and vendors had not equally risen to the occasion this would not have been possible. However, what has been observed is that those who have fared better over these recent months have been those institutions with well-established frameworks in place to mediate their technology-enhanced learning (TEL). That is, they have recognised processes that define how they translate what is in policy, procedures and planning into practice with appropriate IT scaffolding. Such a framework can be found within a number of TEL quality tools, that are designed to provide an institution with clear guidelines as to what things need to be in place to facilitate a robust and consistent approach to teaching with technology. Once these things are in place it makes it possible to undertake online teaching that does more than just mimic face-to-face practice, but actually provide a the foundation for innovative pedagogies to thrive. One concept associated with this is the notion that students can be productive and typically, this means the TEL has, or can become far more, active, authentic and collaborative.

Lifelong Learning ePortfolios: a media-rich technology for capturing and evid...ePortfolios Australia
OB3 – Beautiful Study for Lifelong Learning is a personal learning environment for creating and sharing content as part of informal, non-formal, and formal learning. Within minutes, individuals with basic technological skills (i.e. users of MS Office, internet browsers, and email applications) can author and share media-rich documents including hyperlinks, embedded discussions, videos, and/or audio-recordings. In the last two years, OB3 has been used to build ePortfolios for reflective practice in an MBA programme, and professional certification in a Midwifery programme. During the workshop, attendees will learn how to build an OB3 reflective practice portfolio. They will learn how to 1) capture their thoughts in writing, audio recordings, video, photos, hyperlinks, etc. to reflect on development areas; 2) keep private and personal records of their reflections as they happen; 3) email content and any attachments from their mobile devices directly to their portfolio; and 4) share selected sections of their reflections with other people as part of a course or co-creation for understanding project.
A new challenge is on the horizon for the education sector. The AQF is currently under review and the sector is rapidly trying to adapt to the changing needs of industry. Digital/Micro-credentialing and badges may be the answer. In this webinar session we will take a look at what is currently happening around the sector, discuss what the future workforce will look like and the types of learners that education providers will need to produce, what this all means to our current curricula and how ePortfolios could be a perfect tool to help facilitate the credentialing and badging process.

Succeeding With Education Transformation – A Guide to Effective Technology In...Samsung Business USA
It would be difficult to find a school district today not preoccupied with technology tools and digital learning. However, despite their best efforts, many school districts have fallen victim to botched rollouts and ineffective strategies that have wasted time and money — and hurt their reputations with students and parents. This guide from the Center for Digital Education looks at the key elements of a successful digital education transformation, focusing on the 3 Cs of conversion, curriculum and collaboration.
Innovation and the future: Y3 ssp 12 13 l15Miles Berry
The technologies whose study properly forms a part of ICT education develop at an exponential rate, with Moore’s law promising a doubling of computing capacity every couple of years, and global industries and innovative individuals continually finding new applications to use such capacity. The extent to which your school makes use of such innovation is, to some degree, in your hands.
After hearing your presentations, we’ll look at some of the issues raised by the rapid pace of technological change and explore some ways in which schools can best make discerning use of new technology. I also explore some current trends and we look at some technologies that may well find a place in the classroom of the not too distant future, or whatever may replace it.
We conclude with a review of the assessment requirements and an opportunity to reflect on the module.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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.

Editor's Notes
2 stages of research. Literature review & empirical work with interviews No surprises in many ways – could predict aspects of the findings Sheer persistence of factors
Lit review ahows…. Scrimshaw, 2004 – we can’t treat teachers and schools as separate entities in addressing problem of lack of innovation . It doesn’t help to only look at examples of excellence (Scrimshaw) – like any CPD, it’s NOT about emulating excellence. It’s got to be personally transformational, may be incremental, may be parts of the learning process which can be most profitably addressed.
The implementation dip is a feature of revising a way of working with the existing curriculum. Important – Scrimshaw – it’s not just about radical practices, but about working with curriculum we have got in innovative ways.
Transferability and transposobility are problems – learning about practice is highky situated and contextualised. It ceoms from a teacher’s deep knwoledge about their learners and their schools and their individual needs. Models of excellence can also be daunting…..
