Doing better things: transforming how we use Turnitin for learningJisc
Students have an increasing expectation for academic interactions via the same all-pervasive technologies they use socially. How to marry this need for digital engagement with the rigours and expectations of the assessment process is a challenge faced by many institutions.
Beyond being a mechanism for managing academic misconduct Turnitin, via Feedback Studio is increasingly being adopted by institutions as a tool for Electronic Management of Assessment (EMA) in order to address this challenge.
Learn how technology is engaging and empowering students in the assessment process through innovative approaches to providing constructive and timely feedback beyond a tick or a cross.

Real World Negotiation Assignment Your task is to go out there (.docxdanas19
Real World Negotiation Assignment
Your task is to go out there (bravely) into the dreaded “real world,” negotiate for something, and then write a paper about it. You can choose or create an opportunity to negotiate something for which you might normally not negotiate or for which you did not intend to negotiate at this point in time. Completed negotiations from the recent or distant past are not eligible.
A wide variety of contexts and potential transactions are fair game, including but not limited to retail consumer encounters, landlord-tenant interactions, personal or family conflict situations, disputes with teachers, fellow students, law enforcement officials, university administrators, etc. A job negotiation is okay if it is going to start and conclude between the beginning of the semester and the due date for this assignment.
The key requirement is that the situation is real with actual costs and outcomes turning on the encounter (although the magnitude of costs and benefits can be relatively small).
Your essay about the experience should, at a minimum, address (also, see rubric chart below): • How you prepared for the negotiation;
• What happened (but don’t let narrative detail crowd out analysis);
•• What the outcome was and whose interests were served;
• Why things turned out as they did – what would you do differently; • Quantify what you gained by negotiating.
***The last paragraph should identify and explain how much value you claimed/created by negotiating as opposed to if you had not negotiated and claimed your BATNA. (This point will be moot if you did not come to a negotiated agreement and did claim your BATNA. That is OKAY and will not reflect poorly on your grade!).
Include in your essay a critique of your own performance in the encounter: What could you have done differently to produce a better outcome? In reading and evaluating these papers, I will emphasize analysis over narrative. Tell me what happened, yes, but probe the reasons why the encounter went as it did using ideas and concepts about the structure and process of negotiation from the course. Think about the type of negotiation you are discussing and how it differs from other situations considered in this course and elsewhere. Don’t just say what tactics were used; say why and analyze their appropriateness. I will also look for evidence that you prepared for your “adversary” deliberately and thoughtfully. You will be graded not on the outcome of the negotiation itself, but on the quality of your analytical insight (using concepts developed in the course) into the process that occurred.
Details:
• The paper should be 4-5 double-spaced pages.
• Paper must be formatted with 1” margins all around and Times New Roman 12-point font. Papers not adhering to this format will lose a letter grade. Papers will be graded based on analyses as well as on grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
• Submit papers via Canvas. You must submit the assignment as an attached file..
Epidemiology versus Data Collection Bias - Studying the Needs of Platform Wor...Maria Wolters
When looking at data science approaches to studying the needs of platform workers, most people use a methodology centred around mining social media. In this brief presentation at an Alan Turing Institute Workshop, I argue that epidemiological data sets and large social science surveys can shed light on aspects of platform workers' experience that are not disclosed on public forums.
Crowdsourcing Speech Intelligibility Judgements Maria Wolters
This talk looks at the variation in participants that take part in speech intelligibility studies, and explores how that variability can be characterised and integrated into interpreting and discussing results.
Give Me Your Data, And I will Diagnose YouMaria Wolters
In this talk, presented at Data Power 2017 in Ottawa, Canada, I take a critical look at attempts to diagnose and track people's heath through objective markers.
This presentation accompanies the paper published in the proceedings of CHI 2017 - Extended Abstracts (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3052764). In the presentation, I want to guide you through a process of designing your own strategy for supporting the emotional labour you do when doing research.
These are the slides for the Faculty Fellow short talk on October 27, 2016, at the Alan Turing Institute. In this talk, I summarise my approach to missing data analysis, and explain how my work fits into an interdisciplinary context. I will add a link to the YouTube recording once it has been uploaded.
In the literature on sensing and monitoring, missing data is often treated as a nuisance. Statisticians have investigated many ways of filling gaps in a data set, depending on whether the data is missing completely randomly, whether the patterns of missing data can be predicted from other variables in the data set, or whether the patterns of missing data are regular, but hard to predict from existing data.
In this talk, I argue that missing data is evidence for how people engage with sensors and devices. I outline the processes that result in the absence of data, and discuss how this contextual understanding can be used to improve interpretation and analytics.
This talk is based on joint work with the Help4Mood team (http://help4mood.info) and Henry Potts, UCL, and Katarzyna Stawarz, Bristol, during an Alan Turing Institute Summer Programme Small Group.
Reminders are an important part of the functionality of many systems. In this talk, I discuss what affects the user experience, from personal preferences to perception, with a focus on auditory reminders, hearing, and synthetic speech.
Designing Auditory Reminders that Older People can RememberMaria Wolters
In this talk, I summarise work on helping older people remember what they need to do next. I focus on a particular modality, hearing, because auditory reminders can be heard even if you can't see or feel or be near their source. I close with suggestions for practicing audiologists.
Leveraging Large Data Sets to Make Technology more Accessible for Older PeopleMaria Wolters
In this talk, I look at how large scale epidemiological data sets can help us find out how accessible technology is, who is included, and who is excluded
These are the slides for a presentation I gave at the Health Informatics Scotland on October 7, 2015 - summarizing joint work with Konstantin Knorr, David Aspinall, and Kami Vaniea on security and privacy in health apps (or lack thereof).
eHealth Support for People with Depression - Lessons from Case StudiesMaria Wolters
Help4Mood is a system for supporting people with depression in the Community. In this talk, which was presented at the HCI Korea 2015 Invited Papers session (CHI Premier) on eHealth, we discuss a series of four case studies where we deployed a near final prototype of Help4Mood and the lessons learned.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.

How are they analysed? What types of topics are appropriate?
❖ How are the papers divided? What are typical headings and
subheadings? How long is each section
❖ What methods are used?
❖ What are the key theoretical frameworks?
22. Implications for Design
❖ CHI papers will typically have „Implications for
Design“ - what is generalisable? What can the
community learn from this?

35. New Writers’ Errors (Murray 2013)
❖ Writing too much about the research „problem“
❖ Overstating the problem and claiming too much for
your solutions
❖ Not saying what you mean - be very direct and clear in
your writing
❖ Putting too many ideas in one paper.
36. Observing Writing
❖ What do you say when you want to tell someone that it
is now time for you to leave? I bet you don’t say
现在我们要去 xiàn zài wǒ men yào qù (now we will go)
❖ For the full story, see https://
themandarincornerblog.com/2018/06/19/do-you-
agree-with-this-important-rule-for-language-learning/
❖ You need to analyse how native speaker authors write
❖ concentrate on UK / US / Australian authors
37. What to Observe (A Start)
❖ How do authors start a paragraph? Topic sentences at
the start of a paragraph often indicate what the
paragraph is about
❖ How do authors refer to the literature? How do they
cite? How do they say what others found, thought,
argued?
❖ What conjunctions do they use for linking arguments?
❖ How do authors refer to their users and stakeholders?
38. Clear Writing
❖ If you struggle with English, use clear, simple sentences.
❖ When translating, make sure that the words mean what
you think they mean. Look them up on bing.com to see
them used in context
❖ Be particularly careful with words that are relevant to
your key findings
40. Review Processes Vary
❖ Journal: subeditor sends to reviewers, reviewers submit
review, then it can be accept (very rare!), minor revision, major
revision, authors send revised version … with several cycles
❖ CHI: ACs send to reviewers and write meta-reviews, reviews
are discussed online and sent to authors, authors can submit
rebuttal, rebuttal is discussed online, and finally, reviews and
rebuttal are discussed within SC
❖ ASSETS: Paper chairs ask programme committee to review,
authors can submit rebuttal, reviewers discuss online
41. CHI Reviewer Guidelines
◦ Significance of the paper’s contribution to HCI and the benefit that others can
gain from the contribution:
why do the contribution and benefit matter?
◦ Originality of the work:
what new ideas or approaches are introduced? We want to emphasise that
an acceptable paper must make a clear contribution to Human Computer
Interaction
◦ Validity of the work presented:
how confidently can researchers and practitioners use the results?
◦ Presentation clarity
◦ Relevant previous work:
is prior work adequately reviewed?
https://chi2018.acm.org/guide-to-a-successful-submission/
42. Tips
❖ Review each other’s work before submission
❖ When you get the reviews, extract action points: what
needs to change? What was not clear? What needs to be
explained better, so that reviewers will understand?
❖ The AC will tell you what you need to change and
address in the rebuttal in their meta-review
43. Summary
❖ Tell a story that matters to your audience
❖ Keep it clear and simple
❖ Everyone gets rejected - learn from feedback and try
again!
