Educational blogfolio - exploring student teacher's concepts and competency of integrating Web applications and blog features for knowledge construction
Presentation about using social media tools for learning and teaching. Tools covered includes blogs, media sharing tools, digital curation tools and social networking tools (Facebook).
Automated Parameterization of Performance Models from MeasurementsWeikun Wang
This is a tutorial presented in ICPE 2016 (https://icpe2016.spec.org/). In this tutorial, we present the problem of estimating parameters of performance models from measurements of real systems and discuss algorithms that can support researchers and practitioners in this task. The focus lies on performance models based on queueing systems, where the estimation of request arrival rates and service demands is a required input to the model. In the tutorial, we review existing estimation methods for service demands and present models to characterize time-varying arrival processes. The tutorial also demonstrates the use of relevant tools that automate demand estimation, such as LibRede, FG and M3A.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2. Student-teachers (STs) generally perceive an e-
portfolio in form of a CD-ROM
Static reflective statement/ Static content
Instructors cannot provide instant feedback
corresponding to a specific items
No interaction with other student-teachers
Learning experience in teacher training has not been
associated probably
No further e-portfolio development
Environmental issue (dispose over 400 CD-ROMs each
academic year)
3. IT provisions (previous practice):
Briefing for the assessment items of e-portfolios
Creating a Web site with commercial Web authoring
tools (hands-on) - academic years before 2008
Computer-based training (CBT) related to Web
authoring (self-directed study + in-campus)
4. Student-teachers (STs) are unable to update their e-
portfolios:
Time limit for the trial version of the commercial Web
authoring tool
Unable to master the basic HTML manipulation (with/
without the commercial Web authoring tool)
Unable to master the FTP functions
Unable to understand the server-side structures
5. Not all student-teachers process the technical skills to
create e-portfolios (Montgomery & Wiley, 2004)
Only a static Web-based e-portfolio is created (Yuen,
C.Y. & Yang, H., 2010)
Viewers cannot leave feedback (Yang, 2008)
6. By using blogs as e-portfolios
Reduce the technical setbacks for content creation
(Martindale & Wiley, 2005)
Allows publishing instantly to the Internet from any
Internet connection (Richardson, 2006)
More features for interactions and updatability
Share resources and ideas for reflection, interaction and
collaboration (Yuen & Yang, 2010)
7. Abandon teaching commercial Web authoring tools
Teaching hands-on with using free blog platform + build-in
blog features + embedding Web applications (Webapps)/
blog widgets/ Web 2.0 widgets for enhancing
communications
Language support (English/ Simplified Chinese/ Traditional
Chinese)

By creating or adding YouTube on the blogfolio.
Using blog as an interesting/ vivid platform for students and
teachers to exchange ideas after classes.
It is very useful for students to keep track on their learning process,
especially if they were absent (the classes before). Students can
download PowerPoint or worksheet at any time.
Teachers can collect feedback and amend their teaching content
and strategies.
16. How do you (as a teacher) apply blogfolio for
knowledge construction?
Share knowledge like PowerPoint and video with students.
Teachers can upload learning materials for students to download which
facilitate revision.
Teachers can upload extra materials (e.g. video clips/ news clips) for
students’ self-directed learning.
Remind students the key learning areas (especially for long vacation)
More opportunities to communicate with students about teaching and
learning
Embed different media
17. Why the selected element(s) could
enhance teacher-students
communication?

21. Student-teachers (STs) are basically satisfied with the user-friendliness
of the online Web site builder (i.e. Viviti.com) even though some of the
respondents are the first-time bloggers
STs also have the tendency to continue building up their knowledge as
well as using the builder for learning and teaching activities in the
future
STs enjoyed customisation of their own blogfolios with the introduced
Webapps which agreed with the founding by Tapscott (2009) in his
book about the habits of young people (i.e. the Net Gener). JISC (2008)
also highlighted that being able to customise is crucial for e-portfolio
construction
JISC (2008) also suggested that a customisable interface of an e-
portfolio system would enable learners to explore their identity. A
blogfolio is somewhat of a display of personalisation, with a certain
extent of customisation, enables learners to explore one’s identities.
