The document discusses open learning analytics and the case for openness. It summarizes key points from a presentation including:
- Learning analytics can help identify at-risk students and improve courses, but also raises issues regarding privacy, bias, and transparency.
- Open source approaches to learning analytics aim to address these issues through open data standards, algorithms, and governance structures.
- Early examples from the UK and France explore open learning analytics to provide transparency and safeguards around predictive modeling.
- Ensuring understanding of predictive models, managing consent appropriately, and exploring techniques like counterfactual explanations can help address transparency concerns with learning analytics.

About the Webinar
The increased utilization of mobile devices for content consumption places demands on publishers to be more adept at engaging on mobile devices. As the device market has changed, size, capability, and usability of the devices continue to evolve rapidly. The capability of the web sites needs to keep pace with the changing market both in terms of rendering content on devices and managing the access to the content.
One of the first waves of design called for using custom Apps for mobile devices. Many of the early adopters learned quickly that App maintenance consumed more resources that anyone had predicted.
Access management is another consideration for the mobile experience. Simply put, publishers want be sure that users are authorized to have access to content. In the academic environment, the task is particularly troublesome because students are transient and very mobile. Rather than setting up onerous, session based manual login processes, content providers, usually enabled by hosting companies, have developed techniques to “pair” devices with authentication systems to ensure that access is available when requested, but not extended past a designated time frame. Management of this capability should be transparent intermediaries, such as librarians, but available for management should the need arise.
In this NISO Webinar, speakers will discuss multiple form factors including responsive web design and responsive design with server side components, that help institutions deliver a great experience to their users.

So, what's it all about then? Why we share research dataDanny Kingsley
This is the Keynote talk at a Jisc Research Data Network meeting held at Cambridge University on 6 September 2016. The research data network is designed to be a people network offering participants a place to demonstrate practical research data management implementations and to discuss current issues relating to research data in institutions. This keynote discusses two of the most common excuses for not sharing data and then broadens the discussion out to the need for a move to Open Research of which open data is only a small but essential part.

About the Webinar
The development and rising popularity of the massive open online course (MOOC) presents a new opportunity for libraries to be involved in the education of patrons, to highlight the resources libraries provide and to further demonstrate the value of the library to administrators. There are, of course, a host of logistics to be considered when deciding to organize or support a MOOC. Diminished library budgets and staffing levels challenge libraries both monetarily and administratively. Marketing the course, mounting it on a site, securing copyright permissions and negotiating licensing for course materials, managing the course while in progress and troubleshooting technical problems add to the issues that have caused some libraries to hesitate in joining the MOOC movement. On the other hand, partnerships such as that between Georgetown University and edX, itself an initiative of Harvard and MIT, allow a pooling of resources thereby easing the burden on any one library. In some cases price breaks for certain course materials used in MOOCs can help draw students to the course, though the pricing must still be negotiated by the course organizer. A successful MOOC, such as the RootsMOOC, created by the Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University and the State Library of North Carolina, can bring awareness of library resources to a broad audience.
In the end, libraries must ask whether the advantages of participating in a MOOC outweigh the challenges. The speakers for this webinar will consider these issues surrounding MOOCs and libraries and try to answer the question of whether the impact of libraries on MOOCs has been realized or is still brewing.

Australian Legal Education in 2017: Taking Stock for an Uncertain FutureSally Kift
This presentation was made to The Future of Legal Education Workshop hosted by Griffith University's Law Futures Centre on 1 November 2017. It suggests that Australian legal education research over the last decade has positioned us well for an uncertain future. While our Law Schools cannot afford to be complacent, especially given the increasing automation of legal work and the unbundling of legal services, the strong research and evidence base to which Australian legal educators may refer provides a degree of optimism for an uncertain future. Critically, this must be a joint endeavour that engages all branches of the legal profession and the Academy working together. Students and young lawyers in particular have a vital role to play in shaping the future of their professional education. In the absence of an #OLTphoenix, Australian legal education is well-placed to be self-sustaining and self-generating.
The abstract for the session was as follows:
In 2017, Australian legal education finds itself at a crossroads. In common with its disciplinary brethren, it is being impacted by the multitude challenges and volatile policy environment facing the Australian higher education sector more broadly. As for the rest of the Academy also, Law Schools are being squeezed on numerous fronts in their quest to fund pedagogical innovation. In the meantime, law students, who continue to bear a disproportionately high percentage of their degree costs, find themselves entering an extremely competitive job market with reduced employment opportunities. And of potentially even greater import, the disruptive innovation being felt in universities is also now impacting the legal services industry itself, so much so that the halcyon days of Priestley’s dead hand (or light hand, depending on your perspective) finally look to be drawing to a close.
This presentation will review Australian legal education’s pedagogical progress over the last decade through a scholarship lens and ask how is legal education positioned in 2017 for an uncertain future? In the absence of a national body such as the Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT), which was de-funded in mid-2016, is Australian legal education research and scholarship sufficiently mature to be self-sustaining and self-generating? At the risk of being overly optimistic, it will be suggested that, in an era of stackable credentials, the quality of Australian legal education generally ranks amongst the best in the world and is well-positioned to prepare its students to take their place, personally and professionally, as global citizens in complex and dynamic legal and other workplaces.

Workshop held as part of ETD2021 https://conferences.uaeu.ac.ae/etd2021/en/index.shtml on 15 November 2021
This workshop will explore different challenges to making ETDs openly available and how they can be used within an institution to engage with faculty in relation to open research practices. Example considerations include the use of third party copyright, whether a data management plan is required as part of the PhD research process and how the ethical approval process can be a natural point for considering and formalizing research integrity issues. Through these processes, universities have an opportunity to not only ensure the next generation of scholars are working with a high level of research integrity, but also to update the skills and knowledge of those who supervise PhD students.

Writing Analytics for Epistemic Features of Student Writing #icls2016 talkSimon Knight
Talk presented at #ICLS2016 presented in Singapore. I discuss levels of description as sites of epistemic cognition focusing on writing and use of textual features to associate rubric scores with epistemic cognition.
My thanks to my collaborators (listed on the paper) particularly Laura Allen, who also generously let me adapt the later slides on NLP studies of writing.
Abstract: Literacy, encompassing the ability to produce written outputs from the reading of multiple sources, is a key learning goal. Selecting information, and evaluating and integrating claims from potentially competing documents is a complex literacy task. Prior research exploring differing behaviours and their association to constructs such as epistemic cognition has used ‘multiple document processing’ (MDP) tasks. Using this model, 270 paired participants, wrote a review of a document. Reports were assessed using a rubric associated with features of complex literacy behaviours. This paper focuses on the conceptual and empirical associations between those rubric-marks and textual features of the reports on a set of natural language processing (NLP) indicators. Findings indicate the potential of NLP indicators for providing feedback regarding the writing of such outputs, demonstrating clear relationships both across rubric facets and between rubric facets and specific NLP indicators.

In 2017 the Economist magazine, in a much quoted article said, ”the world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data. Smartphones and the internet have made data abundant, ubiquitous and far more valuable”. While data may be abundant, in the world of libraries, publishers and intermediaries it is typically siloed and the value and potential to improve services has barely begun to be realised. Ken will argue that, on their own, data from libraries, publishers or conventional intermediaries will not be enough to deliver the kinds of predictive analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions that are emerging. Commercial companies and sector bodies like Jisc have begun to develop platforms that make use of data from a variety of sources. This will be an intensely competitive environment and it is not yet clear who the winners will be for, as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the world economic forum in January 2018, ‘whoever controls data will have control over the world in the future’.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

19. If you’re involved in an aspect of
openness in education, the debate cannot
be ignored.
Open source communities should be aware of
the ethical dimensions of what they make.
20. Controversy - a Note
People write algorithms …
… or people write algorithms that write
algorithms …
It’s not difficult to find horror stories …

Google predicted where flu outbreaks would take place by what symptoms
are searched … but then changed their suggested search input to include “flu
symptoms” … 140% error on peak of 2013 flu season

“In 1936, it became mandatory for each Dutch
municipality to maintain a demographic record of
it’s inhabitants; by 1939, each citizen had to carry
a persoonkaart or personal identity card. Both
included a field for ‘Heritage’.”
“The Registry was maintained on punched
Hollerith cards.”

58. Learning analytics use cases today
1) To support personal tutor system
2) To enable course leaders to improve courses
3) To enable students to understand their learning
Thanks to Michael Webb, Jisc
59. Supporting Personal Tutor System
Overview of the process:
1) Predictive analytics helps identify students at risk
2) Descriptive analytics helps identify why
3) Tutor determines intervention

60. Consent - Jisc View (1)
Most learning analytics is covered by:
a) legitimate interests of the organisation
b) necessary for the performance of a contract with the data
subject.
Consent isn’t the most appropriate basis for general learning
analytics.
There are exceptions.
See:
https://analytics.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2017/02/16/
consent-for-learning-analytics-some-practical-
guidance-for-institutions/
legal and contractual complexity
Thanks to Michael Webb, Jisc
61. Consent - Jisc View (2)
Consent is required for the following:
a) using sensitive characteristics
This includes attributes such as a person’s religion, ethnicity,
health, trade union membership or political beliefs.
This data may need to be used if using learning analytics to
support widening participation or addressing differential outcomes
b) for action based on automated decisions
This is explicitly covered under GDPR

62. Openness for predictive models
How do we explain our algorithms to
users in ways they can understand?
We want to avoid having a ‘Blackbox’
Non-technical staff can’t understand code.

Thanks to Michael Webb, Jisc
63. Institutions need to understand how the model works.
• Non data scientists need to understand the basic
approach, and be able to explain to students.
• Jisc are trying a guide for non-data scientists to
address this.

65. Eight Dimensions of Openness
Open Purpose - be clear about the “why”
Open Ethical Framework -
Open and Inclusive Governance - learners, faculty
Open Source Software - a level of trust
Open Platform/Architecture - alternatives. It’s early.
Open Standards - ditto
Open Algorithms - more later
Open Consent/Consent Management (where required)
IanDolphinviaFlickrAttribution2.0Generic (CCBY-NC-ND2.0)
66. Challenges
Open Algorithms?
What do we need to effectively share?
A place/s to share?
Training data?
How do we increase understanding?
LAK18 Hackathon - “algorithmic literacy”
Curricular Impact?
GDPR and “right to understand”
NB: not a legal requirement
Potential role for counterfactuals?
67. ‘Counterfactual Explanations without
Opening the Black Box: Automated
Decisions and the GDPR’
Explains impact, enables recourse/subject action
“Counterfactual explanations take a similar form to
the statement: “You were denied a loan because
your annual income was £30,000. If your income had
been £45,000, you would have been offered a loan.”
Sandra Wachter, Brent Mittelstadt, & Chris Russell

68. Consent - Two Elements
Consent?
How well do we manage consent?
“Automated decision making” + sensitive info
What more do we need?
Mechanics of Managing Consent
(…and Managing withdrawal of consent)
Educating about purposes and rights
Enabling informed or educated consent
