The Open University (OU) is a global leader in quality online, open and distance education with more than 180,000 students and 8,000 faculty and staff. Like many organizations, the OU is embracing data and learning analytics as an increasingly important approach for understanding learner behaviors. During this Fischer Speaker Series event, Dr. Tynan explores the vagaries of leading an institutional strategy at scale, specifically focusing on faculty, student and institutional engagement with analytics to support student success- detailing wins, pitfalls and unexpected twists resulting in unintended but delightful outcomes.
Professor Belinda Tynan is the Pro- Vice-Chancellor (Learning Innovation) and Professor of Higher Education at the Open University, UK. Reporting to the Vice-Chancellor, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Learning Innovation contributes to the strategic vision and mission of the University and has a focus on supporting student success by providing executive leadership in the areas of innovation, strategy and policy development, production, informal learning and research and scholarship in technology enhanced learning.

Image Classification Done Simply using Keras and TensorFlow Rajiv Shah
This presentation walks through the process of building an image classifier using Keras with a TensorFlow backend. It will give a basic understanding of image classification and show the techniques used in industry to build image classifiers. The presentation will start with building a simple convolutional network, augmenting the data, using a pretrained network, and finally using transfer learning by modifying the last few layers of a pretrained network. The classification will be based on the classic example of classifying cats and dogs. The code for the presentation can be found at https://github.com/rajshah4/image_keras, and the presentation will discuss how to extend the code to your own pictures to make a custom image classifier.

SafariScreenSnapz682Reflective writing can provide a powerful way for students to integrate professional experience and academic learning. However, writing reflectively requires high quality action- able feedback, which is time-consuming to provide at scale. This paper reports progress on the design, implementation, and validation of a Reflective Writing Analytics platform to provide actionable feedback within a tertiary authentic assessment context. The contributions are: (1) a new con- ceptual framework for reflective writing; (2) a computational approach to modelling reflective writing, deriving analytics, and providing feedback; (3) the pedagogical and user ex- perience rationale for platform design decisions; and (4) a pilot in a student learning context, with preliminary data on educator and student acceptance, and the extent to which we can evidence that the software provided actionable feedback for reflective writing.

User Behavior Modeling on Financial Message Boardsprithan
Online social communities like discussion boards and message boards are fast evolving in
their usage bringing people with similar interests together. From a social and anthropological standpoint, these are the most interesting to study compared to Online Social Networks because they connect people (most often with no offline links) from different backgrounds and histories.
Various theories exist in sociology about the intended behavior of users in online forums. In this paper, we study the applicability of one such theory - “Participation Inequality” on financial message boards. We consider the activity of user, his network interaction structure and the content of postings and employ Machine Learning techniques to identify, cluster and infer roles of users exhibiting similar behavior.

Detecting collaboration patterns among iSchools by linking scholarly communic...SoYoung YU
Information schools (iSchools) have grown along with heightened understanding of the rapid changes taking place in the information society and in the humanities. This growth has led to the characteristics of multidisciplinarity and the need for ongoing discussion and collaboration in information field (i-Field) research in terms of human behaviors and information technology. To promote collaboration in the context of research and education, it is necessary to understand the current activities of iSchools in relation to their collaboration patterns. This study analyzed the research patterns among iSchools at the macro and micro levels, and combined the analysis results
For the analysis,, 41 iSchools were identified from the iSchool directory. Co-authorship and an institution-profiling network were extracted from conference papers and posters presented at the iConference 2008-2013 to mine scholarly communication patterns. Social networks (“friendship” networks) among them were also extracted from Twitter by collecting their common followees to identify their interest in current public issues. The network analysis was performed at the micro and macro levels.
In the micro-level analysis, the structures of social networking and scholarly communication among 41 iSchools were constructed and compared statistically by executing quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) correlation. The QAP correlation analysis determines whether a relationship exists between two particular nodes in two networks at the same time. At the macro level, comparison between the top interest in social networking and that of scholarly communication was performed by revealing top co-word networks. Additionally, co-authorship patterns and institution profiling patterns among 196 institutions, including the 41 iSchools identified in scholarly communication, were compared statistically to identify similarities and differences in communication patterns of iSchools compared to non-iSchools.
The analysis provided evidence of the current prominent collaborating bodies and their neighbors as proactive actors accelerating scholarly communication and social networking. The social networking pattern and institution-profiling pattern were significantly related at the micro level, and the co-authorship pattern was significantly related to the institution-profiling pattern at macro-level. Additionally, iSchools that actively elaborate social networking and scholarly communication at the micro or macro levels were identified and compared to determine whether iSchools that could bridge other iSchools and non-iSchools in both social networking and research. The significant interest in social networking revealed in this study was related to IT trends and higher education while the research interest in the iField was related to linking information science to society, technology, and culture.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

any other questions.”
“That is correct - Nice! So how
would you use this to solve the
question?”
“A bell shape is not necessary.
