Personalized Online Practice Systems for Learning ProgrammingPeter Brusilovsky
Computer programming is quickly transitioning from being just a key competency in computer and information science majors to being a desired skill for students in a wide range of fields. Yet, it is also one of the most challenging subjects to learn. While learning by doing is a critical component in mastering programming skills, neither the traditional educational process nor standard learning support tools provide sufficient opportunities for programming practice. In this talk, I will present our research on personalized programming practice systems for Java, Python, and SQL, which attempt to bridge this known gap in learning programming. A programming practice system engages students in practicing programming skills beyond a relatively small number of graded assignments and exams. To support learning by doing, an online practice system offers a range of interactive “smart content” such as program animations, worked examples, and various kinds of programming problems with an automatic assessment. The main challenges for online practice systems are to motivate students to practice and to guide them to the most appropriate smart content given their course goals and knowledge levels. In this talk, I will review a range of AI technologies, such as student modeling, navigation support, social comparison, and content recommendation, which support efficient programming practice. I will also discuss how personalized practice system could support COVID-19-influenced switch to online learning while maintaining an extensive level of feedback expected from an efficient learning process.

Recently, I've had the pleasure of presenting an introduction to Data Science and data driven products at DevconTLV
I focused this talk around the basic ideas of data science, not the technology used, since I thought that far too many times companies and developers rush to play around with "big data" related technologies, instead of figuring out what questions they want to answer, and whether these answers form a successful product.
The power of learning analytics to unpack learning and teaching: a critical p...Bart Rienties
Across the globe many educational institutions are collecting vast amounts of small and big data about students and their learning behaviour, such as their class attendance, online activities, or assessment scores. As a result, the emerging field of Learning Analytics (LA) is exploring how data can be used to empower teachers and institutions to effectively support learners. In the recent Innovative Pedagogy Report Ferguson et al. (2017) encourage researchers and practitioners to move towards a new form of learning analytics called student-led learning analytics, which enable learners to specify their own goals and ambitions. They also support learners to reach these goals. This is particularly helpful for individuals who have little time to spare for study. In this ESRC session, based upon 6 years of experience with LA data and large-scale implementations amongst 450000+ students at a range of context, I will use an interactive format to discuss and debate three major questions: 1) To what extent is learning analytics the new holy grail of learning and teaching? 2) How can instructional design be optimised using the principles of learning analytics?; 3) With the introduction of student-led analytics, to what extent can learning analytics promote ‘personalisation’ or ‘generalisation’ for diverse populations of students?

Strijker & Fisser (2019-06-26) A new curriculum for the netherlands including...Saxion
In 2018 the Netherlands started the development of a new curriculum framework for primary, lower and upper secondary education. New themes in curriculum are Digital Literacy, citizenship and a strong focus on 21st century skills. Digital Literacy is defined as a combination of ICT skills, media literacy, information literacy and Computational Thinking. Starting with a vision on a theme such as Digital Literacy and using this vision as a starting point for describing big ideas. For Digital Literacy eight big ideas were described: data and information, safety and privacy, using and controlling, communication and cooperation, digital citizenship, digital economy, applying and designing, and sustainability. Computational Thinking is integrated in each of these big ideas. The underlying framework for Computational Thinking is based on ISTE and CSTA and each big idea is specified as a learning trajectory describing learning objectives leading to a new legal curriculum framework in 2022.
Workplace Simulated Courses - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Angie Rudd & Kelly Hinson, Gaston College
What do our students need to learn to be productive in the workplace, to get a job, what skills do they need? The workplace has changed, leadership has changed, and the future is collaboration. This presentation will discuss the methods and tools used in two online project classes. We will show you how we take our learning outcomes and design online classes to simulate a workplace environment. These courses are designed to give students the most realistic workplace environment that we can in an academic setting. One course teaches Emerging Technologies by using teamwork and collaboration environments. The other course uses the System Development Lifecycle as a guide for students to complete an individual project with feedback and brainstorming from other students. The goals for the session are: demonstrating and discussing collaboration, showing how to include useful teamwork in an online environment, working as a collective team, sharing information and knowledge, encouraging suggestions and ideas, brainstorming, building in frustration on purpose, using peer feedback in projects, enabling team resources, and embracing roles and responsibilities. Attendees will walk away with a template of how to design a course for a workplace environment while meeting the learning objectives of the course.
Creating interactive digital books for the transition from secondary to under...Christian Bokhove
In the United Kingdom, many students struggle in their transition from secondary school mathematics to undergraduate mathematics. It is not always possible to remediate deficiencies in mathematical knowledge within a school setting. At the same time, we know that Intelligent Tutoring Systems can aid students in acquiring, practicing, and assessing mathematical content. In this paper, we will present interactive workbooks created at our institution, that cover units of study from the secondary A-level mathematics curriculum, comprising a series of technical expositions and a modular collection of quizzes. Each quiz addresses content equivalent of at most two classroom lessons and features automated feedback bespoke to the students’ (algebraic or numeric) input. The ‘digital books’ make use of a Computer Algebra System to provide automated feedback. The development of the books is a collaborative process in a ‘Community of Interest’ with local secondary teachers, developers recruited from local departments, and the Southampton Education School. An iterative design-based research approach was adopted for the development, with multiple opportunities for feedback and improvement. After initial prototyping, a teacher focus group will attend a follow-up session where they are invited to review the materials and to make suggestions or requests before implementing them with their students later in the year. We present preliminary reflections on the results of our reflective design-based process, and discuss how this process contributes to both better digital books and research insights.
Help-seeking in an online maths environment: A sequence analysis of log filesChristian Bokhove
In online mathematics environments feedback is often provided to help students make progress. However, the extent to which students make use of such feedback, so-called ‘help-seeking’, depends on numerous instructional variables, including the design of the online platform and individual student characteristics. Furthermore, student behaviour in such platforms are not independent events: the order in which tasks are completed matters, and we therefore have to study sequences of such events. This study used student data from UK students in grades 3 to 5 with at least 100 lesson records in the academic year ’18-’19 (N=1,799), totalling 1,048,575 records between December 2010 and January 2019, from an online mathematics platform. Sequence analysis was applied to the data to uncover patterns of help-seeking. The results showed that help, task difficulty and precision interact, demonstrating the usefulness of learning analytical approaches like sequence analysis.
Learning loss and learning inequalities during the covid-19 pandemic: an anal...Christian Bokhove
The transition to distance schooling during the pandemic has exacerbated inequalities by socio-economic status (SES) due both to the gap in the volume of schoolwork completed and to the relative ability or inability of some parents to support their children’s learning. In this presentation I will report on a longitudinal analysis of Understanding Society data from the two school closures in April 2020 and January 2021, which colleagues Dr Nic Pensiero, Prof Tony Kelly and I conducted for the ESRC. The analysis included parents' occupations, computer availability and parents' work patterns. The provision of schoolwork improved in both primary and secondary schools in the second closure period compared to the first school closure period, with the increased provision explained by the more lessons, greater availability of computers and families being better prepared for the second school closure. While parental occupation alone was found to be a significant determinant of differences in the volume of schoolwork among students, its effect was amplified when combined with student access to computers, family circumstances and parental working patterns. Primary school children of single parents who worked from home were able to reduce the gap in schoolwork done compared to the most advantaged socio-economic group, but generally, inequalities between socio-economic groups in the uptake of schoolwork remained stable between the two school closure periods. I will discuss what these findings have taught us.
The challenge of proof in the transition from A-level mathematics to universityChristian Bokhove
Students’ difficulties with mathematical proof and transition from secondary to university mathematics are key topics within mathematics education research. In this talk, we report on research with the Southampton Mathematics department and A-level mathematics teachers. In the transition from A-level maths and further maths to undergraduate mathematics, the topic of proof always is a big challenge for students. In our study, we analysed answers to a ‘proof by induction’ task from first-year undergraduate mathematics students. Findings show that many students find the proof by induction process challenging. Results illustrate the difficulties students face when they are asked to engage with a proof by induction task within the Calculus context and provide insight into the transition from A-level maths to undergraduate maths. We highlight how a multidisciplinary team of mathematics specialists (mathematics education researchers, secondary maths teachers, mathematicians) created a resource to support A-level teachers, trialled in this academic year. The booklet ‘Thinking about Proof’ supports A-level teachers in teaching proof and facilitating a smoother transition to university mathematics.
(On)waarheden en (on)bekende zaken uit onderzoek over reken-wiskundeonderwijsChristian Bokhove
(On)waarheden en (on)bekende zaken uit onderzoek over reken-wiskundeonderwijs
Als je de geluiden in de media mag geloven, dan staat het reken-wiskundeonderwijs of elk moment op instorten of gaat het prima. Vaak worden deze claims kracht bijgezet door het citeren van onderzoek. Sommige criticasters zeggen dan ook wel dat je met onderzoek alles kunt bewijzen.
In deze lezing kijk ik naar verschillende bronnen die worden aangehaald bij discussies over het reken-wiskundeonderwijs. Onderwerpen die de revue passeren zijn:
• Wat internationale en nationale peilingen over de stand van ons reken-wiskundeonderwijs zeggen.
• Het complementaire karakter van vaardigheden en inzicht.
• Onderzoeksthema’s die veelvuldig langskomen in discussies, bijvoorbeeld met de inspectie en de recente NPO menukaart. Van enkele van deze thema’s, geef ik concrete voorbeelden hoe onderzoek soms ge- en mis-bruikt wordt.
Ik zal aangeven hoe onderzoek gezamenlijk vaak een pluriform en genuanceerd beeld van het reken-wiskundeonderwijs geeft, maar dat het belangrijk is om breed te lezen, de context te bevragen, en dieper te graven dan simplistische slogans.
Methodological innovation for mathematics education researchChristian Bokhove
In this talk I will highlight how innovative research methods can help us in answering research questions for mathematics education. Some examples will be:
The use of social network analysis for communication networks of trainee mathematics teachers, as well as interactions in the mathematics classroom.
The use of sequence analysis for analysing data from an online mathematics tool.
The usefulness of open approaches to improve research transparency.
I will draw these projects together to sketch some interesting directions for mathematics education research.
In England, an important role for the judgement of educational quality, is provided by the national school inspectorate Ofsted. Periodically they inspect schools and judge them. The result of the inspection is captured in inspection reports and associated documents. Ofsted has had several chief inspectors (HMCI) since 2000 and every HMCI tends to put his/her own mark on the inspectorate. This paper extends the analysis of the corpus in Author (2020) using the corpus of more than 17,000 Ofsted documents which were scraped from their website with text-mining techniques. Using the computational research method of structural topic modelling I re-analyse a set of documents that typically could not be analysed with manual methods. I juxtapose the findings with previous findings from sentiment analyses. The paper does not just cover the substantive topic at hand, but also provide insight in how the methods work, and how they provide insight in policy shifts during the ‘reign’ of different HMCIs. All in all, we can see how such text-mining techniques allow us to analyse existing documents at scale.
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 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.

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.

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.
