Helping with more - and earlier - insight into students' writing abilities, Studiosity partners can already use the Academic Writing Evaluation (AWE) service now.
Outcomes: More students enrolling are less prepared. Universities need the insight to control the quality of degrees offered; and most importantly, to provide the best possible experience for the students arriving, regardless of CALD, EAL backgrounds, socio-economically diverse circumstances, including international enrolments.
Recommended action: Academic Writing Evaluation (AWE) - ask your Studiosity Partnership Manager to switch on this extra service for your students, or particular cohorts.

Explaining that rather than take on another policing role, Studiosity seeks to help the vast majority of students who don't mean to plagiarise, but perhaps do - due to anxiety, feeling rushed, feeling tired.
Outcomes: Most plagiarism is unintentional, how can those students be better supported?
Recommended action: Studiosity partners can switch on Citation Alert in Semester 2, 2019.

Changing current practice to meet the needs of learners and societyJisc
A presentation from Connect More by Dale Clancy, independent learning specialist, Borders College.
Pre-COVID alterations to the way that the electrical apprenticeship has been delivered, in a remote wide reaching area, has brought around positives in student engagement, skills and achievement during the current crisis.
Teaching and learning has had to be adapted across the world, but in most cases assessment has not or has been less flexible. Is there a case now to alter the way learners are assessed now more than ever?
This session briefly highlights the tools used to engage learners, skills they have developed, and obstacles in assessment which could be adopted to suit modern learners and society in both theory and practical environments.

Our journey: representing, reflecting on and learning from student journeysJisc
A presentation from Connect More by Tim Coughlan and Kate Lister from The Open University
Every student has unique circumstances, experiences, challenges and goals, and these are often invisible to educators and staff working to support them. Our Journey is a creative and flexible tool for students to map, log, plan and represent their study journey. This enables students to reflect on their experiences, celebrate their achievements and identify skills gained through overcoming challenges, all of which contribute to positive mental wellbeing and growth mindset.
Meanwhile, educators can learn from representations of student journeys, meaning the design of programmes, classes and study support can be informed by student voice and experience.
Finally, when student journey representations are shared by students and educators as a co-owned artefact, this can build a powerful, reciprocal learning relationship in which students are supported to succeed.
Enabling and enhancing student learning and support through technologyJisc
A presentation from Connect More 2020 by Peter Francis, deputy vice-chancellor, Northumbria University.
In recent months universities have rapidly implemented significant and often unplanned changes to the ways in which education is delivered. In large part, the nature of such changes will be temporary, although the significance of such changes may be longer lasting.
But this has also allowed universities to explore opportunities that otherwise may not have been considered. One can foresee that many universities will need to focus more time and energy on their approach to technology for student learning, and as a result their digital leadership. Yet technology on its own is not the solution; it is an enabler.
In this session Peter will reflect briefly on his own institution's journey towards technology-enhanced learning and support, one that encompasses a broad array of technological developments, and involved many colleagues and students, the aim of which is the delivery of a high-quality and inclusive student experience for all.

A presentation from Connect More by David Perkins and Dr Cameron Gray from Bangor University.
Insights into activities we undertake as educators and students have the potential to enhance learning and reduce unintentional consequences for all. This project has developed a work pressure metric that can be used by both educator and learner. The focus is on the assessments for a given programme and work pressure that this generates. Additionally, included is behavioural characteristics, these have the potential to have significant impact upon the individual student journey.
A presentation from Connect More by Carmen Tomas, associate director of educational excellence, University of Nottingham.
The University of Nottingham are adapting the university framework for programme design in the light of the COVID-19 emergency where they are forced to adapt to new social distancing measures for the upcoming academic year.
They are planning a series of workshops to help make the transition to hybrid modes of delivery but paying attention to coordination across modules. The session presents their model to support redesign and integrating delivery and assessment in order to deliver programme learning outcomes.

Presenters: Chris Barbic, founder of the YES Prep Public Schools, Mark DiBella, school director at YES Prep North Central, and Mayra Valle, a senior at YES Prep North Central
Target audience: Ideal for teachers and administrators interested in strengthening the culture at their schools
Anyone who has worked in public education knows that school culture can make or break the experience. Great teachers, programs, and practices succeed best only with a culture that supports them. In Houston's YES Prep Public Schools, educators put culture front and center, and it's a major force behind their success. Teachers support each other and constantly seek to help their colleagues improve. They build relationships with students to help them thrive even under the schools' rigorous demands.
The end result: happy teachers, and hundreds of low-income students becoming the first in their families to attend college. There's no magic involved -- just good ideas, dedicated people, and deft execution. In this session, YES Prep leaders explain what they do, how they do it, and how you can put some of these ideas in action at your school, too.
Redefining Staff and Student Collaboration in Increasing MyUni Usage at The U...Blackboard APAC
Reflecting the University's commitment to co-creation in learning and teaching, and to support academic staff in increasing and optimising their usage of the University's Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS), The University of Adelaide in 2014 introduced MyUni Assist. MyUni Assist is an initiative that employs and trains current students as Instructors in Blackboard so that they are able to provide one-to-one, on-site assistance to academics using the LMS. This has redefined the way that staff and students collaborate at the University in the areas of e-learning and learning/teaching enhancement, and it has produced a number of benefits for staff, students, and the wider University. Based on impact evaluation of the MyUni Assist experience, the session will include presentations from staff and students involved in the project and will offer an opportunity for discussion about:
The strategic context and purposes of the initiative;
Implementation practices and experiences, including challenges andhow they have been addressed;
Expected and unexpected benefits obtained by staff, students and the broader institution, including in relation to student produced learning design for Blackboard and,
Ideas for expanding MyUni Assist in the future.

Strategy Sessions: Innovative strategies for increasing online student engage...LearningandTeaching
Online learning often tries to recreate elements of real world teaching. As digital learning is still a fairly new field, teachers often face difficulties engaging students in this environment. The future of online learning looks promising. Perhaps the biggest beneficial aim for online learning is that it is able to not only recreate the real world classroom, but also be extremely versatile in how and where we teach students.
In these slides, Maxine Rosenfield and Simon Daly give us an insight into learners’ and educators’ expectations of digital learning and the benefits and challenges faced on the platform. Maxine and Simon share a range of strategies that can be used to overcome these challenges based on their experience and feedback, to work towards achieving better learning outcomes.
Tracking Progress for Tier 2 Students in Response to Intervention (RTI)DreamBox Learning
Successful schools and districts are increasing student achievement by implementing dynamic Response to Intervention (RTI) plans. But, what makes successful RTI programs stand out from less successful ones? How do educators know whether intervention is actually working for their struggling students?
In this webinar, Thera Pearce, Director of Professional Development and Implementation at DreamBox Learning, shared a framework and tools for how schools and districts can implement a more effective RTI program, including:
-A process for using data to identify targeted areas of improvement and support for Tier 2 RTI Students
-How to use data to differentiate instruction in the classroom
-Effective ways to monitor and measure ongoing progress of your RTI students
Presentation at the HEA-funded workshop 'Using active and experiential Learning to improve student employability in Business and Marketing'.
This workshop was aimed at colleagues seeking ideas and advice about incorporating active and experiential learning into the marketing curriculum or wishing to improve upon current practice.

Challenges faced by universities in online education - EMEA Online Symposium ...Studiosity.com
Neil Mosley of Cardiff University examined some of the challenges universities face in online education, with a focus on what to change, think and do differently.
Neil’s three key suggestions for universities to consider for the next academic year were:
- Invest and invest wisely in people and technology
- Seriously consider forming partnerships
- Don’t delay!
Students helping other students with study questions: digitalised peer assist...Studiosity.com
Three trials of online peer study support took place at Australian and New Zealand universities in 2019, allowing students to help other students with study questions, on-demand. The trials were a global first at this scale, allowing students within the same institution to connect with each other on-demand, one-to-one, within a robust quality control system. The university programs were designed to enable course and institution-specific assistance to students, at their time of need, and alongside existing study support.
In the first public reporting on the online peer-to-peer trials, Mike Larsen spoke to delegates from the UK and Ireland at the EMEA Online Symposium 2020.
How are students actually using technology? EMEA Online Symposium 2020Studiosity.com
At the EMEA Symposium 2020, Sarah Knight, Head of data and digital capability at Jisc, delivered a data-focused insight into how students are actually using technology in further and higher education. Here are some key findings:
- Office for Students predicts that over a million digitally skilled people will be needed by 2022 whilst 24% of HE students said they never worked online with others
- 70% of HE students agreed that digital skills were important for their chosen career but only 42% agreed that their course prepared them for the digital workplace
Here are the key recommendations that, now more than ever, can practically help your students:
- Raise awareness of the importance of digital skills
- Ensure they know what digital skills they need to have before they start and provide opportunities to develop these only online
- Encourage collaboration to emulate business practices
- Embed digital skills through curriculum design
This year's EMEA Studiosity Symposium was hosted online on 1st and 2nd April 2020.
Preview of 2020 technology developments - Adam McNeil, Studiosity, CTOStudiosity.com
At the 'Students First' Symposium, Adam McNeil, Chief Technology Officer at Studiosity, discussed a critical part of improvement: data.
Adam first explained that the opportunities for Studiosity data also expanded with the services' move to 24/7. Adam also reminded us that data is only as good as the action it informs, and that Studiosity student data helps improve student engagement in other ways across the university, too. Drawing on examples of industries outside the education sector, the point was clear - do something with your data.

Chris presented findings from a national study which used the feedback from students from more than 20 universities. Why? After every Studiosity session, students give feedback. That feedback from students needs to be analysed and used in practical ways (especially recalling Associate Professor Phill Dawson on Day One, who discussed the importance of feedback literacy and translating it into action.) Online, 24/7 support is needed as much to fulfil student expectations for their overall university service experience, as it is needed for delivering learning outcomes.

So with greater personalisation, accessibility of support, and improved duty of care, will the Deaf community start to benefit as well?

This presentation will walk through these findings and offer some useful food for thought.
Chris Veraa is Director of Student Experience at CQUniversity, and brought the room three years (2017, 2018, 2019) worth of data on Studiosity users: retention, academic success, rates of unit failure, and also how students’ anecdotal feedback compares to academic outcomes.
CQUniversity Studiosity users (on average):
• Have a 16.45% higher rate of retention than the cohort
• Experience 21.7% less unit failure than the cohort
• Are 17.31% less likely to be placed on academic probation than the cohort

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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.

26. Q&A
Question to Andy Jaffrey, Head of the Office of Digital Learning, Ulster University
Q: How much time is personally spent on managing Studiosity by yourself?
A: It’s one of those services I kind of forget about! It runs itself, we get regular updates and occasional quieres
from our libraries around referencing. It’s not an enormous drain on resources. The one thing we’re not doing
that well and still need to consider: we are getting alerts from advisors from academically at risk students. They
are triaged, but would like to manage in a more structured way and link into our student wellbeing support. At
the moment they are offloading and it does concern me we’re not looking at the follow-up.
Question to Deborah Grange, Learning Development Manager Birkbeck, University of
London
Q: As Learning Development Manager how do you find Studiosity sits alongside what you already do?
A: Very well - it allows us to say to students if you want one to one advice on your writing the fastest way to
get it is via Studiosity. So all the things we offer such as face to face workshops day to day, online tutors and
loads of interactive activities - so we tell them to improve their skills this way, but for one to one go via SY. We
offer 121 as well, but a more scarce support and we’re not able to offer the Studiosity availability (24/7).
Re. the flagging for students at academics risk - we prioritise these students and get them a meeting with their
learning development tutors. Its excellent to have those students flagged to us - we don’t have to wait till they
have already failed. We can then advise appropriately and it works really well with our overall L&D
programme.
