Challenging tasks and engaging learners ~ Adjunct Professor Mike Askew, Monash and University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, Dr Sharyn Livy, Monash University, Vic. Dr Tracey Muir, University of Tasmania, Tas. Investigating how primary students engage in mathematics is important for helping them to develop and adapt their knowledge to different contexts. Our presentation will explore the lesson structure and potential of using challenging mathematical tasks. Participants will work together and discuss a selection of problems that are designed to extend and stimulate students’ mathematical thinking, understanding and problem solving skills. We will also share some student responses to the tasks and findings from our research.

Slides of the hands on seminar at UNSW with Negin Mirriahi. We first selected a learning outcome from your course, and then work our way from there to a set of activities to orchestrate before and during the face to face time.
Creating a buzz for information literacy among faculty and students is a challenge for many librarians, particularly given the prevalence of one-shot library sessions. Could flipping the information literacy session using a learning management system improve learning outcomes, while engaging students more fully with information literacy concepts? Working with undergraduate students in the health sciences, we assigned student groups different online modules prior to class and had them present what they learned to the class in a Japanese presentation style, known as PechaKucha. We compared these sessions with a more traditional instructor-led session. In this PechaKucha-style presentation, participants will learn about efficient and effective approaches for flipping the classroom and assessing student learning in this type of information literacy session.

Accounting 1 students used the one minute paper at the end of each tutorial over one semester. there was a significant improvement in final results compared to the same cohort in the previous years. Students recognised that the revision component of the one minute paper assisted their learning but did not recognise the benefits in the reflection process implicit in writing the one-minute paper. Students may need assistance with reflection.

Helping Teachers: Success with Intensive Service Delivery Models in the SchoolsBilinguistics
With increases in caseload size it can be difficult to organize and structure groups in order to ensure that our students get the most out of their therapy time. Join us as we discuss a pilot study that examines how to group multiple children with multiple disorders in short, intense therapy and produce great results.
This presentation shared what neuroscience, cognitive science, and biology have to tell us about developing a learner centered approach to teaching. Originally presented at the Upper Peninsula of Michigan Conference on Teaching and Learning, May 11, 2018.
This presentation shared how to teach in ways that promote long term recall of new learning. Topics included: distributed practice, use of patterns in teaching, use of multisensory teaching techniques, and using cumulative exams. Originally presented at Villanova University, May 16, 2018.

Unit Overview
Grade level 4
Disciplinary Area ESL
Unit Title Health and Nutrition
Population Description
Ages : 9 Years
Grade Level: 4
English Proficiency Levels: Expanding
ESL program Model: ESL Class Period
Summary and Rationale
Health and Nutrition
Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach (CALLA) is the most appropriate theoretical ground for the unit since it has been based on cognitive theories that are infused into the lesson planning process to create learning strategies that in order to develop content that will increase the academic fluency of the ESL students.
This unit was chosen since health and nutrition is an everyday thing and students have to engage in activities that are related to health and nutrition everyday Further still, with the increasing cognitive abilities of the students, there is need to introduce them to the ideals of balance diets and the terminologies that are used in food and nutrition. Proficiency in health and nutrition as a unit increases the vocabulary base of the ESL students of the chosen age and also increases their prowess and language proficiency.
It is of interest to the teacher that the children learn different types of foods according to their diet categories and also increase their word power. The expectation is that since children at the chosen developmental stage are intrigued by different foods and snacks, teaching concepts and engaging them in ideas will be easy. The activities that are lined up in the teaching/learning process are engaging and fun and the students should have no problem internalizing ideas.
Students are also expected to understand the connections that are there between the physical activities, emotional wellbeing and their social wellness. They should also analyze the needs for the variety and moderation that is offered by a balanced diet.
Health and nutrition is an everyday thing the components of it go beyond the classroom setting to the world. Issues with personal health, fitness and diet have got lasting impressions in the life of a person and the set standards from whence a child is young are the ...

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.

21. Every person who comes to the ranch is in need of some form of physical or mental help
They're patients But also every person who comes to the ranch is in charge of taking care
of someone else whether it's cooking for them cleaning them or even as simple a task as
listening That makes them doctors I use that term broadly gentlemen but is not a doctor
someone who helps someone else When did the term "doctor" get treated with such
reverence as "Right this way, Doctor Smith" or "Excuse me, Dr. Scholl, what wonderful
footpads" or "Pardon me Dr. Patterson but your flatulence has no odor" At what point in
history did a doctor become more than a trusted and learned friend who visited and treated
the ill Now you ask me if I've been practicing medicine Well if this means opening your
door to those in need those in pain caring for them listening to them applying a cold cloth
until a fever breaks if this is practicing medicine if this is treating a patient then I am guilty
as charged sir
22. Sample Materials
• All materials were designed to help the students notice and work with the
focal topic of the week, while still maintaining a cumulative nature.
• Materials were frequently designed to be done in pairs or larger groups.
• Most materials maintained a hospital theme that was familiar to the students.
• Those that were not hospital themed contained a relevant cultural theme that
was interesting to students.
