The Project Based Learning (PjBL) Toolkit: Integrating digital and social med...Sue Beckingham
Projects may be carried out by both individuals and within groups. The outputs might include a report, presentation, poster, artefact or prototype (physical or digital). Project based learning is “a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge.” (BIE 2015).
When undertaking a project, seven distinct stages have been identified that the project owner(s) go through. These are: the question, plan, research, produce, improve, present and evaluate. At each stage students may engage in a variety of activities. This multifaceted form of learning presents opportunities to participate in authentic and meaningful problems and to develop a range of skills along the journey. Reflecting upon these experiences, can encourage students to reconstruct what they have learned, and go on to confidently articulate the skills they have developed (or have yet to develop), and how they can apply these in other situations. Learning how to self-reflect on these experiences and developing a habit of doing so, can have a profound impact on learning. However for some this does not come easily and is often undervalued.
In my talk I will share the Project Based Learning (PjBL) Toolkit and how resources within this can be used to scaffold effective and meaningful multimedia reflective practice, develop confident communication skills and digital capabilities.
- Why real-time feedback is important for learning and how we can get that with sound recognition?

A semi-synchronous approach to critical thinkingJisc
Speakers:
Ninna Makrinov, skills programme coordinator, University of Warwick
Susan Vollmer, learning and digital content officer, University of Warwick
This session will look at the results of a pilot online critical thinking Moodle course offered to students at the University of Warwick. The university adopted an innovative approach to online learning which included the use of H5P interactive presentations and semi-synchronous delivery. Students interacted with the course for around 20 minutes each day over five days and received daily feedback on their reflections.
This session will reflect upon student and practitioner feedback and outline further developments.

Unversity quality management tools for lifelong learning UNIQM from UPVDr. Patricio Montesinos
Excellence and quality improves standards and increases efficiency. While widely understood with regular activities, this is less the case with Lifelong Learning activities in HE institutions. While competition among HE offers' increases, the difference will be on the how, not only on the what. How can quality be developed and how institutions can implement a continuous improvement approach in an effective and sustainable way? Can a single tool or model meet such a range of needs? Is possible to use tools to survive institutional regressions? The UNIQM project addressed answers to all these questions.
University fund raising 2.0 new boundaries for university lilelong learning lllDr. Patricio Montesinos
Fund Raising and Lifelong Learning are two 3rd mission activities that are intimal related. Lifelong Learning is a matter of fact one of the most fundamental activities Universities are facing the last 30 years. And Fund Raising arises as one of the most powerful tool that can be used to generate new spaces of collaboration among Universities, other Institutions, the Industry and the Society. But traditional fundraising (to ask money for University social activity) has been disappeared from the usual arena. This Fund Raising 1.0 orientation has evolved to other more sophisticated way of reaching funds, based on 3 different strategies: to be more efficient (internal fund raising), to valorise resources under use and to valorise the institutional relational capital. Combinations of the tree strategies have created the Fund Raising 2.0 approach. In this paper, this innovative way of developing new LLL projects will be described and one case study, the open innovation

21st century student engagement and success through collaborative project-bas...Beata Jones
How do we empower our students to thrive in the 21st century? How do we design student-centered learning environments in our courses that take advantage of the best, still relevant aspects of the Industrial Age education and infuse them with the necessary elements for our undergraduates to thrive in the Robotic Age? The presentation will explain the framework for course design and classroom strategies to aid in successful implementation of such student-centered, collaborative project-based learning environment in university courses.
learning in the digital age looks at the way our students our controlled and constrained by orthodox protocols and methodologies. The presentation challenges conventional beliefs yet grounds the challenge in a 'can do' way. We have to work from within a system in order to be able to change it.

A K-20 Creative Design Approach to Addressing Problems of Practice in a Futur...Anita Zijdemans Boudreau
Presented at the EdTech Teacher Summit, San Diego February 2016 & ORATE, WOU February 26, 2016
Learning teams work at their best when diverse perspectives, expertise, and skill sets from across all levels of the educational community unite to imagine creative ways for tackling authentic, context-specific challenges. This session describes a K-20 collaborative partnership approach to identifying and addressing problems of practice related to technology integration in schools. A creative design team—comprised of in-service teachers, pre-service teachers, a university faculty instructor, school administrator, and library & information technology teacher (LITT)—was developed to help advance the school's Future Ready mission to "maximize digital learning opportunities and help school districts move quickly toward preparing students for success in college, a career, and citizenship" (see: http://futureready.org/). Iterative design thinking was used to:
• establish a common understanding of specific challenges faced by teachers in the school;
• research, generate insights, and ideate solutions for how to address the problems using technology;
• develop and implement prototypes across different classrooms; and
• evaluate what worked and share the outcomes with the broader school community.
Some project outcomes included exploring apps for differentiating instruction, creating an open educational resource (oer) for digital citizenship, and organizing an 'hour of code' event school wide.
This presentation helps explain why 1:1 technology in classroom can help transform teaching. Included are reasons why to use 1:1, technology concepts to help teaching in 1:1 classes easier, and tips on lesson planning in 1:1 classrooms.

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.
