Mind the Gap: Realising the Value of AgilityCraig Smith
Talk delivered by Craig Smith at LAST Conference Brisbane, Australia on 29 September 2017.
Agile has well and truly crossed the chasm and every organisation large or small seems to be in the middle of some sort of Agile transformation. Yet, look behind the covers and we have to ask ourselves the tough question of how well we are doing and how agile are we really?
So all aboard as we acknowledge some of gaps many organisations are facing and we question the true value we are delivering. More importantly, we will discuss how we might start to these issues, both inside our organisations and as individuals flying the agile flag.
Dobra inżynieria - między zorientowaniem na klienta a techniczną doskonałościąJacek Bilski
My, programiści, jako grupa zawodowa cały czas popełniamy błędy, z efektami naszej pracy cały czas coś jest nie tak. Przeceniamy ważność pewnych rzeczy, a w tym samym czasie potrafimy ignorować dużo istotniejsze tematy. Jako ten, który popełnił już wystarczająco dużo błędów, chciałem się nimi podzielić tak, byśmy wspólnie mogli z nich wyciągnąć wnioski. To jest prezentacja, którą ktoś powinien był zrobić mi te 15 lat temu, kiedy zaczynałem karierę jako programista.

Abstract
AR is where embedded animations, video clips, 3D graphics ‘come to life’ when a SMART device is help up to an image, which ‘triggers’ the media. There has been significant interest in this technology, especially with the potential of AR Head Mounted Displays (HMDs), leading to investment by corporations such as Microsoft and HoloLens; however there is a gap in the literature around the evaluation of the pedagogical potential when embedding this technology into Higher Education classroom contexts.
In line with QAA benchmarks (QAA 2013) our University is moving towards developing graduate attributes, and early connections with ‘softer skills’ are embedded through Personal Development Planning (PDP) module. The PDP module, taken by our first year computer gaming and technology students has a history of lack of engagement and a poor submission rate. Initial research showed that STEM students in particular can be reluctant to engage with the ‘employability’ agenda (CB1I/Pearson 2013; Harris 2014; UKSES 2014). Our response was to use an Action Research methodology to explore and address these issues (c.f. Norton, 2009), including our students as part a participative research process.
Working with Aurasma, a free ‘App’ that enables the creation of AR artefacts, the curriculum was redesigned placing the development of an AR artefact at the core of the module. The brief for students was to create an artefact based on some aspect of the library, and to keep a blog of group interactions and reflections. To support a more critical approach, the lecturing team modelled a ‘video research focus groups’ in class, where the authors (Holley, Hobbs and Paraskevopoulos) were filmed facilitating the focus groups, and observed by the rest of the students who participated by offering suggestions for questions and feedback on the work of others.) were filmed facilitiaing the focus groups, and observed by the rest of the students who participated by offering suggestions for questions and feedback on the work of others. Our early findings show positive engagement and improved submission rates, and our interactive workshop will invite ALT_C participants to come and bring their SMART devices and discover the planning, process and results of our project through a series of AR artefacts produced by project participants, both staff and students.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

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.
