Simon Bowler, learning technologies and resources manager, Wiltshire College
Clive Carey, learning and skills development coach, Wiltshire College
Supporting all learners to progress and achieve is at the heart of what Wiltshire College do, and for those who support learners on non-accredited programmes with Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement (RARPA), ensuring this is evidenced and monitored accurately is all the more important.
Tasked with developing a digital solution that learners could own, that was intuitive for support staff to manage and provided managers with instant access to insightful data, the Wiltshire College learning technologies team settled on an open source solution which is already delivering positive results since being been introduced across the college.
This session will demonstrate the Wiltshire College RARPA system from the perspective of each group of users; the students managing their own progress, the staff using the system to support their learners and the managers now with a college-wide visibility of progress. In addition the developers will also explain how all of this was achieved, and their ideas for the future.

Students want more choice and flexibility, but technology moves so quickly. What can institutions do to offer the best possible student experience through technology whilst remaining relevant and cost-effective? Rather than investing in ‘the latest innovation’, a student engagement platform that continuously updates with the latest technology (such as voice activation digital assistants or AI) means you don’t have to back a single tool that could become outdated within a couple of years.
This interactive workshop discusses the links between students’ digital expectations vs reality and what universities and colleges are doing about it. There will be contributions from student experience directors, sharing their experience of creating the conditions necessary to enrich the digital lives of students through open, integrated and future-proof technologies.
Most importantly, please share your experiences and the strategies you’re employing or looking to employ to ensure you remain in touch with your current students and those thinking of studying with you.

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.

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
Hi, my name is Travis Jordan and today I would like to give a short, but yet critical presentation on the use of technology in our school. Feel free to stop me at anytime during this presentation and ask questions.
Every decision we make in an educational setting should be based on what is best for our students. Our current vision statement is to “recognize the uniqueness of our students and provide a curriculum that will prepare them for the future. My biggest question is…Are we preparing our students for the future? With technology changing at rapid pace, we need to keep our students engaged in it. They will be the one’s using it in the future, they are the next generation.
Included in this presentation will be a short overview of how we can make technology a priority and include it within our current vision. I will also include evidence of how technology can impact the learning capabilities of our students. Finally I will show two examples of new technologies that are out there and can be used in our classrooms.
Our vision statement says that we are going to prepare our students for the future. We can’t do this without incorporating technology into our curriculum. Transforming the Curriculum Project-Based learning gives our students hand-on experiences, and introduces them to the skills they will perform when they leave high school. We need to improve our instruction from a teacher-centered to learner-centered. The research shows that students learn in a variety of ways. We need to structure our instruction to their individual intelligences in order to maximize learning. Make reference to Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences Motivating Teachers We need to provide teachers with the opportunity to be introduced to new technology. We can’t expect our staff to be motivated to use technology, if they haven’t been exposed to it. Teacher-training sessions provide a great way to not only introduce technology, but to give the teachers instruction on using it. Research has shown that teachers are more willing to use technology in their classrooms if they themselves know how to use it.
Research shows that there are many benefits to using technology in the classroom. On average students who receive instruction thatis computer-based scored higher on achievement tests than those that did not. Using technology – students learn more in less time When technology is used, students enjoy their classes more. Higher Achievement scores can improve a student’s self-concept. Teachers are reporting that not only does technology improve their instruction, they also believe that it helps them meet instructional goals and objectives.
What are they? Personal Response Pads are a wireless keypads that students can have at their desks. The keypads allow the students to answer questions via their remote keypad and the teacher will receive immediate feedback on their answers. How are they used? The teacher has the program that is associated with the Personal Response System. When the teacher is using the program she can type questions for his/her particular unit and they will appear directly on the main classroom screen, and on the remotes that the students have. The students then can answer the questions (multiple choice, true/false, etc) and their answers will show up on the screen. The teachers can then download the data and use it for grading purposes if they so chose. An example is shown on the next slide, but lets first look at the benefits. What are the benefits? Increases student attention Eliminates the feelings a student may have if they answer a question wrong in front of the whole class. Improves teacher effectiveness – the technology makes the instruction easier. Reduces paperwork and teacher labor. Allows for timely assessment. Immediate responses. Motivates students to pay attention.
Go through the numbered areas on the slide.
What is Podcasting? How is it used? Podcasting is information that is delivered via web radio or web video for anyone to view. You can subscribe and listen to Podcasts through Podcasting software (ex. ITunes). Once you subscribe, you computer will automatically download the newest podcast when you access the software. The user than can transfer the podcast to other media players such as their IPod, or other MP3 player. You can create podcasts by recording audio and transferring it to your computer. Once it has been transferred you can edit it and compress it to an MP3 file. Once you have done that, you post it to a web server create an Really Simple Syndication (RSS) so people can subscribe to it. Benefits Podcasting addresses differentiated instruction. It allows the teacher to supplement their material using a different media to teach through. Students may learn better through the audio or visual characteristics that this product has to offer. Podcasting also incorporates the use of technology into the classroom. We have seen earlier how this can have a positive impact on the learning environment for our school. Uses for Podcasts Supplements course content. Can be used for study purposes – outside of the classroom You can record your lectures and students could access them at anytime. Example The following example is just a quick link to a Podcast that is out on the World Wide Web. - Play a sample of it.
We have gone over two vital aspects of technology, and introduced two excellent examples of using technology in classrooms. We have to move away from traditional teaching styles, and gear toward to student-centered environment. We have to ask our selves what is best for our students. There are many pressures out their for schools to reach Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Incorporating technology into our instruction is a great first step of reaching that goal. Thank You.
