Communication skills workshop 26 (CSW26) 14.09.2013 Helsinki
University students in Finland attend language courses to gain professional and academic
language proficiency. Currently, across all Aalto University disciplines, English is the most
popular language chosen by students. This case study focuses mainly on the experiences
in commenting and feedback given during writing courses offered by the Language Centre
at Aalto University to participants from various fields of engineering, arts and economics.
Feedback rich blended courses have been running since 2008. During these years
valuable information has been collected on the benefits and drawbacks of the various
commenting methods used for providing students with feedback on their writing.
Students produce several reports, essays and other written documents, as a part of their
studies. In language and communication courses, the students often engage in a process
writing approach by creating reports or essays in smaller steps to better support the
learning of writing. Currently, these documents are submitted into multiple electronic
platforms and commented by the teacher either using contemporary tools (pen and paper),
or electronically (word processor and/or commenting/annotation tool). Each of these
systems has their strengths and weaknesses.
Our assumption was that students benefit from personal, detailed and rich feedback and
clear explanations for improvement. This has led to systematic use and development of a
text commenting protocol. The writing teachers using these methods conducted a series of
surveys 2010-2013 given to the students in the course using the commenting tools. The
questionnaires were used to gather students’ perceptions of commenting software for
providing feedback on writing and rich feedback in general. The surveys also indicated that
students had not previously received extensive feedback in their other classes. To address
this need, we participated in designing a new, more flexible and user-friendly tool, known
as KungFu Writing (KFW), for giving feedback on student writing. Since the survey results
also suggest students were overall pleased with the feedback they received and felt it
helped them to improve their writing, feedback has been adopted as a method of teacher -
student communication several other languages.

The idea of blended learning—combining digital curricula and tools with face-to-face instruction—for elementary grades is becoming more popular, and educators are finding it works particularly well in mathematics. Our guests will provide successful approaches for implementing this technique, including resources, strategies, and examples of instruction, as well as tips for modeling blended learning in elementary grade math.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
