Rationalise, Response, Results - Keynote Presentation by Dr. Daniel Tan REC:all project
This presentation was given by Dr. Daniel Tan, Director of the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) Nanyang Technological University, Singapore on 11 December at the REC:all workshop 2013 "Lecture Capture: Moving beyond the pilot stage: large-scale implementation of lecture capture in European Higher Education" in Leuven, Belgium.
This practice-focused paper wil consider how employing the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework (CAST 2018) can encourage feedback-seeking behaviour on a postgraduate programme. Recent advances in neuroscience have highlighted that individual difference is the norm across the population, and thus questioned the need to label or diagnose difference. This challenges educators to move away from previous models of ‘reasonable accommodations’ and instead to design for learning with an appreciation that all students approach their learning with differing strengths and preferences. The principles and theories of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) offer enormous potential when designing for learning: by using the UDL framework, educators can accept learner variability as a strength to be leveraged, not a challenge to be overcome (Rose and Meyer, 2002).
Furthermore, recent scholarship has pointed to the importance of developing feedback literacies among Higher Education learners. The provision of feedback is not, in and of itself, sufficient; instead, there is a growing understanding that learners need to be supported to make sense of the feedback they receive and apply it in subsequent learning situations. Literature on feedback literacy (e.g. Carless and Boud, 2018; Winstone, Balloo and Carless, 2022) recognises the importance of developing students’ capabilities ‘to seek, generate and use feedback information effectively, and to engage in feedback processes to support ongoing personal and professional development’ (Winstone et al, 2022: 58). Such a view shifts the focus away from feedback at the end of learning event, and instead advocates for feedback at a point when it can be used by the learner to improve subsequent work. This requires learners to be more aware of how and why they are using feedback, and also their own role in identifying the timing of feedback so that it is of benefit to them.
This paper will consider how the UDL framework can encourage student engagement with feedback and the development of feedback literacies, drawing on specific examples from a postgraduate programme (namely the Graduate Certificate in Academic Practice). Multi-source and multi-modal feedback opportunities are embedded throughout the programme, and students are prompted to consider the focus, mode and timing of the feedback so that it is of most benefit to them to guide their learning. This paper will point towards the benefits a programme which is underpinned by the UDL framework has in fostering student feedback literacy and feedback-seeking behaviours. It aims to prompt discussion and reflection among conference attendees with respect to both UDL and feedback literacy and to consider how these two areas of academic practice can be intertwined in order to best support student learning.

UOW Exemplar Moodle Site with DLT’s - Lynley Clark, Blackboard and Denise Spa...Blackboard APAC
The University of Wollongong and Blackboard have collaborated to develop an exemplary course for staff that demonstrates best practice for digital learning within Moodle. In 2015, the University implemented a set of minimum expectations and good practice elements called the Digital Learning Thresholds (DLT). The DLT strategy supports the principle that all students will have access to digital learning and both staff and students have clear expectations about the use of digital learning within the curriculum. This session will be co-presented by Lynley Clark from Blackboard and Denise Spanswick from the University of Wollongong (UOW). It will discuss how Lynley and a small team of Educational Designers from UOW worked together to incorporate the DLT elements into examples of activities and resources within a Moodle site with the aim of providing a model or exemplar to develop staff’s understanding of digital learning in a way that could more easily translate to their own subject development and an exceptional learning experience for UOW students.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Introduction
Welcome to the unit overview for the Year 11 Environmental Mission
The unit has been designed using Blooms taxonomy to
encourage higher order thinking and Problem Based Learning
to develop the students e-portfolio as evidence of learning
outcomes.
3. Curriculum Links
The unit plan will align with the Queensland Science Curriculum and aim to
show the following learning outcomes;
By the end of this unit the student will;
Queensland curriculum (senior science) - Earth science (2000)
• Understand and evaluate forms of human impact on the environment
• Understand and apply knowledge to develop solutions to local Landscape
rehabilitation
• Understand and develop solutions and results relating to Environmental
monitoring
4. Curriculum Links
Queensland Curriculum (Senior Science) - Aquatic Practices (2014)
• Understand and apply knowledge of riparian processes that shape aquatic environments
and river processes
• Evaluate and communicate Ecosystems Concepts and ideas
• Understand and apply knowledge of Aquatic ecosystems include biotic and abiotic
components.
• Understand and apply knowledge of Marine and freshwater pests and threats, including
pollution, impact on aquatic environments, ways aquatic industries impact on their
environment, e.g. overfishing, agricultural runoff and human erosion activities
• Evaluate and create actions conserve, sustain and bio remediate aquatic environment
• Develop definitions of conservation, sustainability and bioremediation
5. Curriculum Links cont…
Queensland Curriculum (Senior Science) - Aquatic Practices (2014)
• Work with legislation rules and regulations exist to conserve and
sustain aquatic environments, e.g. Marine Park Zones and
Government Departmental Authorities fishing rules and regulations
• Understand and show consideration to all Aboriginal communities
and Torres Strait Islander communities
• Develop and apply knowledge and practices that support
ecosystem condition, e.g. ceremonial purposes, sustainable living
6. Problem Based Learning and Higher Order
Thinking Skills
Kearsley and Shneidermans Learning Theory (2009)
emphasises that learners’ need to be meaningfully
engaged in learning experiences through interaction and
worthwhile authentic tasks. The framework also proposes
that to achieve successful engagement, there must be an
emphasis on collaborative learning, project based tasks
and constructivist design.
7. Problem Based Learning and Higher Order
Thinking Skills
• The unit has been designed to link to a real life
authenticated problem based learning experience and tie
with local issues and timelines. As the students need to
research, evaluate and create a presentation there is a
strong focus on higher order thinking and critical and
creative thinking skills.
8. Evidence of HOTS
The students will extend and develop higher order thinking skills and their depth of
knowledge through the project development.
The students will:
• Analysis and synthesize information from multiple sources
• Design and illustrate solutions or results
• Reporting results and solutions
Student e-portfolio learning outcomes:
• Create a final project design
• Apply concepts to their final solution
9. SAMRs Level Definitions and Project
Examples
The unit has been developed to reach all levels of the SAMRs models through the high use of ICT
tools to redefine the learning processes.
• Substitution: During the project computer technology will be used to substitute some activities.
• Augmentation: At various stages throughout the project computer technology offers an effective
tool to perform common tasks such as research, timelines and construction of some project
activities.
• Modification: The use of programs such as podcasts, digital images and PowerPoints
throughout the project will modify the students learning and will scaffolded to be a significant
functional change in the project elements and learning outcomes within this classroom project.
Computer technology is necessary for ongoing communication and feedback, sites such as
skype, Edmodo and secure wikis and weeblys will modify communications and allow expert
collaboration’s, peer and teacher feedback, easy rewriting, and audio recording.
10. SAMR Model
• Redefinition: Prezi’s, video editing programs, Google Earth and Google Maps
allows for new tasks to be created and produced by students that were
previously inconceivable. Within the project the students will be able to create
through various multimedia devices that will redefine through learning outcomes.
At this level, common classroom tasks and computer technology exist not as
ends but as supports for student centred learning. Students learn content and
skills in support of important concepts as they pursue the challenge of creating a
professional quality presentation to a real life government body, this could be
through video, presentation or mix media. Collaboration becomes necessary and
technology allows such communications to occur. Questions and discussion are
increasingly student generated.
11. Project Learning Theories
The two main behavioural theories that have influenced this unit of work are listed
below
• Constructivism has been the main influential theory in this unit, and is also influential
in current curriculums. Constructivism in embedded in this unit from start to the finish-
this unit is student centred, rather than teacher centred and focuses on collaborative
learning. Collaborative learning is where students interact and build on each other’s
ideas and is constructivist in nature (Mergel, 1998).
• Connectivism has been extensively used throughout this unit as students must find
the information by connecting with people, places and technologies. As Siemens
(2005) states, “That it is no longer possible to know everything, that it is more
important to identify how and where to find the knowledge.”
