Deliberative Democracy as a Strategy for Co-designing University Ethics Around Analytics and AI in Education
Simon Buckingham Shum
Connected Intelligence Centre, University of Technology Sydney
Universities can see an increasing range of student and staff activity as it becomes digitally visible in their platform ecosystems. The fields of Learning Analytics and AI in Education have demonstrated the significant benefits that ethically responsible, pedagogically informed analysis of student activity data can bring, but such services are only possible because they are undeniably a form of “surveillance”, raising legitimate questions about how the use of such tools should be governed.
Our prior work has drawn on the rich concepts and methods developed in human-centred system design, and participatory/co-design, to design, deploy and validate practical tools that give a voice to non-technical stakeholders (e.g. educators; students) in shaping such systems. We are now expanding the depth and breadth of engagement that we seek, looking to the Deliberative Democracy movement for inspiration. This is a response to the crisis in confidence in how typical democratic systems engage citizens in decision making. A hallmark is the convening of a Deliberative Mini-Public (DMP) which may work at different scales (organisation; community; region; nation) and can take diverse forms (e.g. Citizens’ Juries; Citizens’ Assemblies; Consensus Conferences; Planning Cells; Deliberative Polls). DMP’s combination of stratified random sampling to ensure authentic representation, neutrally facilitated workshops, balanced expert briefings, and real support from organisational leaders, has been shown to cultivate high quality dialogue in sometimes highly conflicted settings, leading to a strong sense of ownership of the DMP's final outputs (e.g. policy recommendations).
This symposium contribution will describe how the DMP model is informing university-wide consultation on the ethical principles that should govern the use of analytics and AI around teaching and learning data.

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.

Online Reading Comprehension: Opportunities, Challenges, and Next Steps Julie Coiro
How does reading and learning change on the Internet? You are invited into a conversation about the nature of information on the Internet and its implications for how we think about reading comprehension and critical thinking in a digital information age. Julie first explores how the Internet poses new opportunities for authentic inquiry, collaborative conversations, and students to develop their voices as active citizens. Then, she describes the reading challenges that extend beyond traditional reading comprehension skills to encompass rapidly changing literacies for questioning, locating, evaluating, synthesizing, and communicating information during online inquiry. Finally, she highlights important areas for future research in order to keep up with the changing technologies that will continue to redefine what literacy means in the future.

From the Pearson Platforms OEB workshop entitled Education 3.0. Blurb:
The era of Web 3.0 promises great opportunities for personalisation in our lives and in education. However, is education ready to embrace the opportunities? Students will demand that it does. Educators must separate the technologies that really add value from those that don’t. Join us as we discuss educational practices and theories from past to present and beyond. We will show you practical examples of resources that are meeting the strategic and pedagogic needs of education today.
How to Plan a OBE Lesson incorporating ICT to support aspects of Learning & Thinking
In the Classroom by Ceanlia Vermeulen attending the
INNOVATE 2008 SCHOOLS’ ICT CONFERENCE
CAPE TOWN 1-3 OCTOBER 2008
Games Based Learning (GBL) has been discussed and used in classrooms for the last 10 years or more. Most games used in classrooms have been identified as a connection to the curriculum, however they are not the core of teaching and learning activities.
This session will overview GBL and gamification and suggest resources for the classroom and library that can be used and teaching ideas as to how to embed games in learning.
At the conclusion of the seminar, participants will be able to:
Discuss the concepts of games-based learning and gamification and the application in classrooms.
Identify some games relevant for learning.
Begin to develop teaching ideas using games or gamification.
Will the school of the future have a library of the futureJune Wall
This session considers the probable future learning needs of students and teachers and how this could be represented in a school. If schools change, then how will school libraries change? Or how should school libraries change for the possible future? Do school libraries need to change? These questions will be part of the discussion leading to some suggestions for the future of teacher librarians and school libraries.
Become a leading learner. Connected learning: A Smart framework for educatorsJune Wall
As we move forward with the use of a range of technologies and pedagogies to meet rapidly expanding future needs, teachers are deluged with expectations of becoming a future oriented teacher to meet the future learning needs of our students. There are numerous frameworks to use when planning curriculum activities and the challenge is to decide which one best fits a given set of needs. Frameworks need to provide guidance and structure while still enabling flexibility. Connected learning, design thinking and digital literacy are principles, methodologies and literacies that must be incorporated into everyday teaching if future learning needs are to be met.
During the webinar, participants will explore some frameworks and discover one framework for learning developed by the presenter.
Tools, skills and strategies using three approaches to teaching digital literacy.This was a webinar and presented on using a core set of digital literacies (linked to the general capabilities of the Australian Curriculum), this session will take you step by step through some teaching strategies to use for how digital skills can be taught or integrated.
Participants will be able to:
Identify digital literacies from the general capabilities of the Australian Curriculum and map them to sample curriculum outcomes
Identify teaching strategies to use for digital literacy instruction
Identify digital tools for use with instructional strategies

This session uses current research on STEM and its implementation in schools in various modes to then offer practical suggestions for how you incorporate STEM or STEAM into a teaching unit
Step by step online learning for teachersJune Wall
Online learning is one of the more easily accessed professional learning for teachers. With the requirement for all teachers to maintain Proficient Standard by participating in and logging at least 100 hours of professional learning activities over a 5-year period, a range of options will be needed.
This webinar will take participants through the steps in developing an eLearning course for teachers using a range of digital tools and an understanding of the requirements of the Proficient Teacher level.
This webinar will help you:
Design a course specific to Proficient Teacher level standard
Build an eLearning course
Build awareness of some digital tools and the core requirements of a successful adult learning course
Embed digital tools in the course
Step by step online learning for studentsJune Wall
This was presented in a webinar with demonstrations on some tools and how to build an online course based on Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6) History unit - Australia as a Nation. Using online delivery can enhance or enable student learning. There are a range of pathways for online learning for students, whether it is totally online, blended or standalone activities.
The webinar took participants through the development and building of an online unit for students in a step by step process that participants could use later.
Online learning tutorials using web toolsJune Wall
Online learning can be used within face to face classrooms as well as part of a flipped learning environment. This webinar will outline a range of web tools to create online tutorials and then detail the steps in creating an online learning sequence using free web tools. This could help you:
Determine the most appropriate online tool to use for their context
Identify parts of your teaching program that could be flipped to an online component
Design an online learning activity using one of the free tools
Developing online tutorials: Using Office MixJune Wall
Using Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 or any newer version with Office Mix (a free add on), you can build interactive tutorials for students or staff. This webinar will provide a how to guide in developing online learning tutorials and ideas as to how they could be used.
There are a wide range of presentation or multimedia tools for educators – possibly the most ubiquitous is PowerPoint. We have all heard of the concept of “death by PowerPoint” and as a linear presentation tool, there are many examples of this around. This session will outline how PowerPoint can be used creatively and with a more individualised focus on learning. The key is not in the tool, but in the learning design and creative use of a digital tool.
Reflect review and refine evaluating school library servicesJune Wall
Evaluation of programs is important to ensure quality learning. Evaluation of the role of the school library in order to identify future development and strategic planning for teaching and learning from the library is critical for effective library services. This session will introduce a review tool developed for school teams to use and identify a school strategic vision. The tool will be available for participants to use in their schools.
Participants will be able to:
Outline data collection needed to review library services
Identify types of library services ad consider a future vision for your school library
Use data from evidence to analyse patterns and trends.
Part 1 of a series on implementing a flipped classroom. This presentation outlines rationale behind the learning and curriculum as well as the model of flipped learning developed to suit student and school needs.
Part 2 of a series on implementing a flipped classroom. This presentation outlines the preparation of both resources and student learning skills in order to implement flipped learning.
Part 3 of a series on implementing a flipped classroom. This presentation discusses the outcomes gained at the completion of the year in a flipped classroom.
Developing learning capacity for teachersJune Wall
As new learning skills emerge it is necessary for teachers to develop sufficient capacity to develop learning programs that will provide the opportunity for students to develop these critical learning skills. ‘Learning and Literacy for the future: Building capacity Part 2’ by June Wall and Karen Bonanno, published in Scan, Volume 33, Issue 4 in 2014 considers a capacity building approach, through formal and information professional learning experiences, to ensure teachers develop competencies and capacity to help improve learning outcomes and prepare students for the rapidly changing world of work.
A capacity building tool is outlined and explained as a development tool for teachers to develop capabilities for future learning. Reflection and strategic visioning, that includes the development of a personal professional learning plan, is an integral component of the tool and will also be explained in this presentation.
Integrating digital literacy and inquiry learningJune Wall
This session overviews 21st century learning, digital literacy and how these are place within an inquiry learning process. It presents an approach for teachers to consider as one way to embed digital literacy in an inquiry classroom.
A toolkit that includes a range of assessment strategies is a must for every teacher! Rubrics can provide great feedback to students about their learning and areas for development for them to focus on. A good rubric can be both an assessment strategy for learning and of learning. This session will overview the types of rubrics that can be used and how to develop a set of criteria, supporting statements and assessment values for your students.
Empowering student learning through sustained inquiryJune Wall
Implementing a BYOD program at your school is only the beginning of a journey that should change teaching and learning. A personal device will only make a difference if the implementation includes pedagogical and curriculum review that focusses on inquiry learning and enables individualisation. This session outlines an implementation that incorporates an approach to inquiry learning through a lens of the Australian Curriculum.

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.
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.

5. Engaged students
They face some type of challenge
They must make decisions
They are allowed to explore
They are allowed to make mistakes without being disciplined
They have fun

7. Engagement in learning
Embeddedness Interactivity
“includes thematic coherence,
meaningfulness of action to the
domain of representation, and
meaningfulness of the problem in
the domain to the learner”
“includes having an appropriate level of
challenge through a variety of choices
of action, effected through direct
manipulation of the world of interest,
with quick and clear feedback from
those actions in ways that reflect the
semantics of the world and afford
further action choices, and the
presence of novel information and
events that contribute to those
choices.”
“the challenge required to
maintain engagement is just
the zone of difficulty where
learning occurs”
8. What do you need to do?
Have students draw on their previous learning;
Use latest research findings, professional examples and interesting
scenarios to take students beyond the textbook;
Include periods of reflection for students to work alone and solve
problems;
Give them a quick quiz and ask them to explain their answers to
their neighbour before supplying them with the correct responses;

Brainstorm the previous unit of work as a class – include all existing
knowledge and new knowledge – note the differences – without
categorising or classifying
Students work in pairs using bubbl.us to categorise the class
brainstorm.
Using a mind mapping tool of preference, students then individually
brainstorm what they know of howAustralia is connected globally.
Ask them to make notes or indicate what they need to find out more
about.
Using a wiki or other collaborative tool, all students add their
brainstorms to the class mind map.
