Fidelma Ashe: Harnessing political theory to facilitate students' engagementCSAPSubjectCentre
This document discusses an alternative approach to helping students develop employability skills through their studies. It focuses on using political theory concepts to give students a more critical understanding of graduate employment. The project delivered employability sessions through a political thought module using a learning pyramid framework. Student feedback indicated the sessions increased their critical understanding of factors influencing graduate employment compared to traditional skills-focused approaches. Students engaged with topics like the relationship between identity and employment. The project shows critical knowledge can support students in both their studies and graduate employment prospects in politics degrees.

The document describes a project to develop a toolkit for embedding research methods teaching, both qualitative and quantitative, into UK sociology programs. The toolkit involves taking students on a structured fieldtrip to two contrasting urban areas to collect data on health/wellbeing and deprivation. Prior to and after the fieldtrip, students complete classroom and online activities. The goal is to give students hands-on research experience to develop skills for employment while increasing understanding and application of methods. Student feedback indicated the fieldtrip helped make sociological concepts more concrete and aided learning by directly observing neighborhood differences.

Tung: Case studies of international students in the UKCSAPSubjectCentre
The document summarizes a publication that shares the experiences of 7 international postgraduate students studying social sciences in the UK. The publication aims to understand what it is like for international students to study social sciences in the UK from their perspective. Each case study describes why the student chose to share their experience and discusses their learning, teaching, assessment issues and challenges they faced as an international student. Common themes across the cases included resilience and valuing the whole learning experience as a process rather than just the final grade. The document suggests the publication would be of interest to higher education institutions, current and prospective international students, and students who have completed their studies.
This document discusses using YouTube videos in the classroom. It provides background on the history of using video in education. While videos can be effective, their educational value depends on how well they are tied to instructional objectives. The document then discusses how online videos are different from traditional media due to the massive amounts available for free online. It also notes challenges like dealing with the enormous number of videos, ensuring quality, and handling inappropriate content and advertising. The document goes on to describe a study exploring the use of videos in teaching sociology and issues that arose. It proposes a model for integrating curated video playlists and discusses opportunities for student engagement as well as remaining challenges.
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and how they can be reused and shared under attribution and share-alike licenses. It mentions a joint blog between Oxford and Cambridge universities about politics that uses OER. It also briefly describes dynamic collections that can automatically generate OER reading lists.
The document discusses emerging technologies and the future of learning. It notes that new technologies are often initially met with opposition but will become indispensable over time. The future of learning is described as being open, social, personalized and augmented with technologies that enhance connections and learning experiences.
The document discusses three UKOER projects led by C-SAP that explored open educational resources (OER) in the social sciences. The first was a pilot project involving 6 academic partners who contributed approximately 60 credits of teaching materials which were deposited in open repositories. It aimed to examine assumptions around sharing resources and encourage longer-term OER release. Outputs included a project toolkit and case studies. The second project aimed to improve discoverability of OER for research methods teaching through a survey and website. The third, Cascade, emphasized the broader contexts of OER creation and reuse and involved three higher education institutions developing tools to reflect on practice and conditions for resource sharing.
Tutors considered several key factors when deciding whether to reuse open educational resources for research methods teaching, including interactivity, media richness, feedback, and academic credibility. Both smaller and larger resources had advantages, with smaller resources supporting more autonomous learning but less credibility, and larger resources requiring more work to introduce but being more credible. While context-free resources may be more reusable, tutors would need to do more work setting them in a subject-specific context. The size and level/context specificity of resources influenced how autonomous learners could be as well as the tutor workload.
The document discusses accessibility issues related to open educational resources (OERs) in the context of the UK OER programme pilot phase. It outlines some key OER-specific accessibility challenges including unknown user contexts, lack of quality control when resources are repurposed, and inability to control accessibility in different environments where resources are used. The document also analyzes how accessibility was approached during the UK OER pilot phase, noting it was often an afterthought due to cost and time constraints. It recommends producing specific OER accessibility guidelines and promoting tools to help create accessible resources.

Key outputs included a project blog, reflexive tasks to introduce partners to OER concepts, and presentations exploring the emerging cascade framework. The project methodology focused on critical reflection among partners and examined how institutional context impacts the use of OERs and academic practices. The report evaluates the project's outcomes in meeting its goals of developing a sustainable framework for OER reuse and repurposing in the social sciences.
1) The document discusses developing an open educational resource (OER) to improve discoverability of methods teaching materials.
2) A survey and workshop identified that quality, disciplinary context, and trusted sources are important for users searching for resources. Popular search sites include Google, Google Scholar, YouTube, and Wikipedia.
3) Based on these findings, the document proposes four ideas for an OER front-end: a video resource, methods gateway, examples resource, and blog/website resource to better meet user needs around searching for teaching methods.
This document provides an overview of the C-SAP OER pilot project which aimed to explore open sharing of teaching materials from academic partners in sociology, politics, anthropology, and criminology. The project sought to examine tacit assumptions around resource creation and sharing. Partners contributed approximately 60 credits of materials to repositories like JORUM and MERLOT. The project developed mapping and review tools to help facilitate understanding and reuse of resources by revealing tacit elements normally left unstated. Case studies examined partners' experiences with the process of opening up materials.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
