This document analyzes query data from the University of Oslo library search engine Oria to gain insights into search behavior and query success rates. The analysis found that (1) many of the most popular queries were for curriculum-related materials and had successful results, (2) "zero result" queries were often due to too specific queries like pasted references or misspellings, and (3) suggestions are provided to improve query suggestions, expand indexing, and better integrate curriculum materials to help resolve more queries.

Supporting the Interpretation of Enriched Audiovisual Sources through Tempora...TimelessFuture
This presentation at DH Benelux 2019, receiving one of the two best paper awards, includes findings of the ReVI project. This was a pilot looking at enhancing the Resource Viewer of the CLARIAH Media Suite, where audiovisual materials can be played. Specifically, the ReVI project looked at optimal ways "to support the exploration of different types of content metadata of audiovisual sources, such as segment information or automatic transcripts." During the project, various design thinking sessions were conducted, and a prototype including temporal content visualizations of audiovisual materials was created and evaluated in a user study. The findings of the user study showed a clear value of temporal visualizations and advanced annotation features for research purposes, as well as the continued importance of a data and tool criticism approach. New content exploration tools can benefit scholars doing research with audiovisual sources, for instance in media studies, oral history, film studies, and other disciplines which are increasingly using audiovisual media. The findings documented in the DH Benelux 2019 paper may serve as an inspiration for improving AV-media-based research tools. Concretely, it will also inform the further enhancement of the Resource Viewer of the CLARIAH Media Suite.

Presentation given at the CHIIR 2019 Workshop on Barriers to Interactive IR Resources Re-use (Glasgow, UK, March 14, 2019).
This experience paper shines more light on a simulated work task approach to studying information seeking stages. This explicit multi-stage approach was first utilized in a CHIIIR 2016 paper to investigate the utility of search user interface (SUI) features at different macro-level stages of complex tasks. We focus on the paper’s terminology, research design, methodology anduse of previous resources. Finally, based on our experience, we reflect on the potential for re-using our multistage approach and on general barriers to re-use in an Interactive Information Retrieval research context.

From Exploration to Construction - How to Support the Complex Dynamics of In...TimelessFuture
Search engines on the Web provide a world of information at our fingertips, and the answers to many of our common questions are just one click away. However, for the complex and multifaceted tasks involving a process of knowledge construction, various information seeking models describe an intricate set of cognitive stages (Kuhlthau, 2004; Vakkari, 2001). These stages influence the interplay of users’ feelings, thoughts and actions. Despite the evidence of the models, common search engines, nowadays the prime intermediaries between information and user, still feature a streamlined set of 'ten blue links'. While efficient for lookup tasks, this approach may not be beneficial for supporting sustained information-intensive tasks and knowledge construction. Would there be other approaches to support the complex dynamics of these ventures? Based on previous experiments, this talk discusses how the utility of search functionality during different stages of complex tasks is essentially dynamic. This provides opportunities for designing 'stage-aware' search systems, which may evolve along with a user's information journey.
Towards Multidimensional Web Archive Access (IIPC 2016)TimelessFuture
Presentation at IIPC 2016 conference, Reykjavik, Iceland, 14 April 2016. Abstract:
Web archiving institutions have jointly harvested Petabytes of archived web content, in potential an exceptionally rich data source for researchers across the globe. These web archives are multidimensional by nature. First, a temporal dimension arises from different versions of web content accumulated over time. Second, a hierarchical dimension is implied as web archives may be examined at different analytical levels (Brügger, 2010), examples include the level of the web sphere, website and web page.
Scholars often focus their analysis on a specific analytical level and temporal range, for example looking at electoral web spheres at election times (Xenos and Bennet, 2007) or hyperlinking in news websites across time (Karlsson et al, 2015). However, we claim that this scholarly practice is not well supported by current web archive access tools, that usually allow only access at the page level and do not offer insights into the temporal development of broader selections of archived Web content, such as web spheres or websites. Hence, there is a need for more flexible access services in a research context.
In this presentation, we conceptually and practically explore how to address this mismatch. We illustrate how the temporal dimension can be harnessed by aggregating web content using different time ranges and the hierarchical dimension accommodated by novel aggregation support. Utilizing a concrete use case, we illustrate the potential usefulness of these representations of aggregated Web content. We analyze and compare the temporal evolution of various categories of websites in the Dutch Web Archive (such as news, history-related and government websites) across a five-year period. In this analysis, we look at the evolution of textual content, internal structure and image content across categories and websites. Finally, our presentation indicates how these types of aggregated representations may be integrated into future search systems for Web archives.

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.

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.

• Even though materials are available,
they do not always show in searches
• Issues in:
• query formulation
• system support...
36. Discussion
• Refine and extend search suggestions
• Enhanced spell check / query corrections
• why students underacheive → 0 results
• why students underachieve → 463 results
• Query suggestions and autocomplete
• Could be based on previous (successful) queries
• especially recurring queries should be supported (50% of
popular queries!)
• ISBN suggestions
• Automatically search for the book title and author
(using information derived from ISBN number?)
37. Discussion
• 0 results: get more helpful information
• Requesting assistance, material
• Contextual search suggestions
• e.g. broaden search, simplify query, alternate
formulations
• Available scopes
• suggest how many searches in other scope
38. Discussion
• Importance of "pensum" queries
• Better integration with pensum lists
• Detecting curriculum queries
• E.g. widget which suggests pensum
materials directly // referring students to
UiO fagsider // etc.
• On the cataloging side:
• Course codes (e.g. INF2260)
"to catalog or not to catalog"
• More support for Database queries
• Atekst could be found, not pubmed
39. Discussion
• Monitoring searches
• Detect sudden ‘spikes’ in zero result queries
• Finding errors in curriculum lists
• Detecting ‘holes’ in collections (acquisition
staff), and e.g. popular books with too few
copies
40. 8. Future work
• Plans for further analysis
• Comparing queries with most frequent loans
• Alma Analytics
• Current analysis: many known-item queries. Also look at
common exploratory queries
• medicine; math; united nations; economics
• how can we support those types of queries better?
• Obtaining more data (Limits Primo Analytics)
• e.g. analyzing "struggling sessions", stats location, etc
• Look at use of external databases, link resolver stats
