The evolution and adoption of Learning Analytics (LA) participates in the debate about the ethical challenges associated to technological advancement and the need to provide responsible technology. This debate in the field of educational technology focuses on the tension between the potential of LA to achieve more effective education and its impact on human behavior and well-being. In this talk I will present examples of solutions based on learning analytics proposed in the TIDE research group of Pompeu Fabra University - Barcelona (https://www.upf.edu/web/tide) that try to meet requirements of human-centred design, support for human agency, transparency, or human well-being. Examples include systems with LA components to support the design and orchestration of active learning activities, especially collaborative learning activities.

Simon Buckingham Shum
Professor of Learning Informatics
Director, Connected Intelligence Centre
University of Technology Sydney
Abstract:
“Health Informatics”. “Urban Informatics”. “Social Informatics”. Informatics offers systemic ways of analyzing and designing the interaction of natural and artificial information processing systems. In the context of education, I will describe some Learning Informatics lenses and practices which we have developed for co-designing analytics and AI with educators and students. We have a particular focus on closing the feedback loop to equip learners with competencies to navigate a complex, uncertain future, such as critical thinking, professional reflection and teamwork. En route, we will touch on how we build educators’ trust in novel tools, our design philosophy of “embracing imperfection” in machine intelligence, and the ways that these infrastructures embody values. Speaking from the perspective of leading an institutional innovation centre in learning analytics, I hope that our experiences spark productive reflection around as the UMN Learning Informatics Lab builds its program.

Learning design and data analytics: from teacher communities to computer-supported collaborative learning scripts
Presenter: Davinia Hernández-Leo, Associate Professor, Information and Communication Technologies Department, University Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
Brief description: I will present an overview of the educational technologies research conducted by the TIDE research group of the Information and Communication Technologies Department at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona (http://www.upf.edu/web/tide @TIDE_UPF). The overview will be articulated around the perspective, central to TIDE work, of supporting teachers and teacher communities (e.g a school) in the design of the best possible (technology-enhanced) learning activities considering their students and their contexts. Main research contributions that will be presented include a community platform for integrated learning design (ILDE, including multiple authoring tools e.g. edCrumble), scalable and flexible orchestration of computer-supported collaborative learning scripts (PyramidApp), and the use of data analytics at different levels (learning, design, community) to support teachers in learning (re)design. The presentation will include results of European, Spanish and Catalan projects (METIS, RESET, CoT) and our initial work in recently started projects (SmartLET, Illuminated).

Title: AI: Past, Present, and Future
Abstract: In 1956, the term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined for a workshop at Dartmouth. Since then there has been waxing and waning enthusiasm and investment, so called "AI Winters" after hype, did not live up to reality. In late 2022, with the release of ChatGPT, and over 100 million users in just 60 days, there is a new wave of hype, investment, excitement, and increased fears of AI use by 'bad actors' for misinformation and other harms to society. What are the future trajectories as this technology is tamed and becomes routine? Are we about to enter a 'golden age' of service in business and society, as technology comes to the service sector, as it came to agriculture and manufacturing in the past?
Bio: Jim Spohrer is a retired industry executive (Apple, IBM). In the 1970's, after graduating MIT with a degree in physics, he worked at an AI startup doing speech recognition with mathematical models. In the 1980's, after completing his PhD in Computer Science/AI & Cognitive Science at Yale, he moved to California to join Apple and work on AI for Education. In the late 1990's, he joined IBM as CTO of the Venture Capital Relations group during the internet investment boom, and later started IBM Research's service research area, led IBM Global University Programs, and led IBM's open source AI efforts. Jim's most recent co-authored book, "Service in the AI Era" was published in late 2022.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Hi-Ed Culture Change:
All courses change some every year and include projects.
Faculty, students, and industry professionals as lifelong learners.
• Problem (too static)
– A: Input: Student quality
– B: Process: Faculty motivation
– C: Output: Industry fit
• Solution (change systematically)
– A: -20% eLearning certification
– B. +10% Faculty interest tuning (publications)
– C. +10% On-the-job skills tuning (projects)
Year 1: 20%
Year 2: 20%
Year 3: 20%
Year N: 20%
. . . . . . . .
After a decade the course may look quite different
Service systems are learning systems: productivity, quality, etc.
Projects: Include studying relevant startups/innovators, and building networks to them.

22. Today’s Talk: Integrated Education
• Context
• Open Technologies and Age of Accelerations
• Science of Smarter/Wiser Service Systems
• Digital Cognitive Systems: AI vs IA
• Liberal Arts: Knowing + Doing
• Questions and Responses
• (1) Integrated Education = ? (PB_AC_MT_LSE_OT)
• (2) T-shapes = ? (Depth and breadth integrated by
projects; empathy and outcomes that matter)
• (3) Industry wants = ? (T-shaped lifelong learners;
effective resource integrators; adaptive innovators )

32. Jobs of the Future
4/5/2017 Understanding Cognitive Systems 32
33. In sum, the top job of the future will be…
• Knowing what to do with 100 people working for you!
• What is the most productive purpose to point them towards?
• What goals create the most value for business and society?
• That is the world we are entering with digital cognitive systems (DCS)
• No shortage of DCS workers…
• …but what would you do with 100 people/DCS working for you?
• Most people don’t have any idea…
• However, great entrepreneurs do have an idea
• Education of the future must teach students to work in teams
• Work on challenges in teams with no solutions
• This will require T-shaped professionals with depth and breadth

38. Why ISSIP? T-shapes for
Teamwork
• Our world is becoming more
interconnected and complex
• Yet most organizations
operate is silos
• Most professional
organizations do a great job
of focusing on one
discipline, function, or
industry sector
ISSIP is a professional society designed
to focus on the interconnected nature
of value co-creation for smart service
systems (tech, biz, social, etc.)
BREADTH
DEPTH
T-Shape
professionals can
innovate across
traditional
boundaries
39. ISSIP Ambassadors
• More than 15 Ambassadors
and growing…
• Link ISSIP to other
professional associations,
research centers, conferences,
etc.
• Help ISSIP co-sponsor
activities in other conferences
