E assessment conference scotland 2014 presentation>
As technology evolves and becomes more integrated into education, the data trail created by learners is enormous. The analysis of this data referred to as “Learning analytics” drives learning in a cyclical pattern; data is collected, analysed, and interventions are made based on the data. After these interventions, more data is collected and analysed, and additional (perhaps different) interventions are made.
This presentation outlines how the data related to assessments is collected from three different projects within DCU and then analysed with the aim of improving the student learning experience. Each project has two common threads; making life easier for the lecturer and improving the experience of the student.
This is a small description about flipped classrooms.it is a modern teaching strategy in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed.it has many advantages that are helpful for both students and teachers.

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.

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.

3. Malpractice for GCSE and A level:
Summer 2014 Exam Series
Report published by Ofqual 2014
School or College Staff Malpractice
• Exam boards impose penalties for malpractice committed by an individual member of staff
at a school or college, for example a teacher or an invigilator.
• For the summer 2014 exam series, 119 penalties were issued to school or college staff, an
increase on last year when 100 penalties were issued (see table 4 and figure 4). More than
one penalty can be imposed for an individual case.
• There has been a steady increase in the number of penalties issued to school or college
staff over the last two years. While numbers are still low, they are at the highest level seen
over the last five years. ( page 8)

School or College Malpractice
• There are more than 6,000 schools, colleges or other centres in the UK delivering GCSE
and/or A level exams. Where there is evidence that malpractice is the result of a serious
management failure, an exam board may apply sanctions against the whole department
or the school or college.
• For the summer 2014 exam series, there were 217 penalties issued to schools and
colleges, an increase on the previous year (140 penalties). There has been a steady
increase since 2011, when 50 penalties were issued (page 9)

• Wrong answers on test papers were erased and children told the right answers in
some cases, investigators found. The incentive: financial bonuses for good marks.
• A jury is now deciding the fate of 12 educators, who pleaded not guilty.

8. How Does the Teacher Make
Rational Decisions?
• Morality - The idea that we know what is right and wrong
– But in the context of assessment do we have a professional
consensus on right and wrong?
• Morals inform our ethical code and principles
• Principles that help individuals to exercise professional judgment in
complex moral settings
– How are teachers prepared to face these challenging moral and
ethical dilemmas?
9. Do the Right Thing?
Weighing up what is right for:
• The student to get the best life chance
• The subject and the school to do well in league tables and with
Ofsted
• My standing in the school
• My performance management and pay progression
• The integrity of the profession to be able to be judged as
honourable and trustworthy
10. What Guidance Do We Give Teachers and
Leaders to Help Them With These Dilemmas?
What do teachers need?
• Clarity
– What is expected of them as professionals?
• Preparation
– For the dilemmas they may face and how to explore and
exercise professional judgement
• Culture
– That sets and models high expectations and standards as
professionals
11. Rational Decision into Rational Action
Knowing what is the right thing to do and then have the
courage to do it, despite the personal consequences.
What are the incentives and sanctions to help
teachers make the right decisions?

13. The Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession
Represent a Vision of Professional Practice
At the heart of a strong and effective teaching profession is a commitment to students and their learning.
Members of the Ontario College of Teachers, in their position of trust, demonstrate responsibility in their relationships
with students, parents, guardians, colleagues, educational partners, other professionals, the environment and the public.
The Purposes of the Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession are:
• to inspire members to reflect and uphold the honour and dignity of the teaching profession
• to identify the ethical responsibilities and commitments in the teaching profession
• to guide ethical decisions and actions in the teaching profession
• to promote public trust and confidence in the teaching profession.
The Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession are:
Care
The ethical standard of Care includes compassion, acceptance, interest and insight for developing students' potential.
Members express their commitment to students' well-being and learning through positive influence, professional
judgment and empathy in practice.
Respect
Intrinsic to the ethical standard of Respect are trust and fair-mindedness. Members honour human dignity, emotional
wellness and cognitive development. In their professional practice, they model respect for spiritual and cultural values,
social justice, confidentiality, freedom, democracy and the environment.
Trust
The ethical standard of Trust embodies fairness, openness and honesty. Members' professional relationships with
students, colleagues, parents, guardians and the public are based on trust.
Integrity
Honesty, reliability and moral action are embodied in the ethical standard of Integrity. Continual reflection assists
members in exercising integrity in their professional commitments and responsibilities.
