Could the open-source project management tool Redmine be used to improve tutoring of capstone projects? A simple pilot run at the University Carlos III of Madrid is described. The conclusion is that certain aspects are very useful, but they need to appear at beginning of the project methodolosy and other tools need to extend its functionality to cover academic aspects.

The provision of student feedback is a challenging and resource intensive task for any instructor but at the same time it has the potential of significantly improve the overall quality of a learning experience. This challenge is magnified even further in the context of large student cohorts. Current initiatives such as the one captured by the OnTask project have explored how to use data about student engagement to support instructors of large student cohorts in this process. But despite the use of technology there are still important aspects to consider. What is the ideal tone of the message? Should they focus on the material? Assessments? Strategies? How often is idea to send these messages? In this talk we will cover some principles and examples of how instructors are addressing the problem.

Using data to provide personalised feedback at scale

Abelardo Pardo

The current state of higher education has increasing pressure over academics to offer high quality experience at scale. But what could be the actions that can be deployed to achieve this increase? What would be a good guiding principle to decide these actions? In this talk we explore first the possibility of using feedback and a coach mentality to provide student support, and then how data can help us scale that technique. There are examples of potential scenarios to deploy this at the level of a course, program or overall student experience.

Facilitating feedback processes at scale through personalised support actions

Abelardo Pardo

As education keeps advancing into the era of ubiquitous data availability there are certain challenges that are also increasing. The connection between data and direct improvements or benefit for students in terms of the overall quality of the learning experience is still an area under significant evolution. Learning analytics promises the use of data to improve learning experiences, but bridging the distance between widespread data availability and meaningful, effective and relevant actions informed by this data is still important. The current focus when considering the use of data tends to gravitate towards institutional interventions that target only a subset of the students (e.g. those at risk of dropping a course or abandoning the institution). But the student experience is much more complex and varied. In this talk we will describe OnTask, a platform and approach to facilitate the connection between data and actions in the context of a learning experience. The framework used by the tool contains a generic architecture to simplify the combination of multiple data sources under a single data structure with an intuitive design of rule-based personalized support actions that can be scaled to large student cohorts. OnTask approaches the problem from the benefits of feedback processes that rely on a conversation between students and instructors at the level of a course.

Providing personalised student support in blended learning at scale

Abelardo Pardo

Blended learning environments can be used to deploy strategies to increase student engagement in learning experiences. However, for these strategies to be effective, this increase in engagement requires an increase in student support which can pose serious challenges for large cohorts. The increase in technology mediation offers unprecedented opportunities to collect information about how students interact in a learning environment. Can this data be used to provide student support at scale? Is it feasible to blend data management techniques as part of a learning design to provide personalised suggestions to students? This talk will offer various practical examples of personalised student support actions in the context of a large flipped classroom.

Designing Engaging Learning Experiences in Digital Environments

Provision of personalized feedback at scale using learning analytics

Abelardo Pardo

The increasing presence of technology mediation offers an unprecedented opportunity to use detailed data sets about the interactions that occur while a learning experience is being enacted. Areas such as Learning Analytics or Educational Data Mining have explored numerous algorithms and techniques to process these data sets. Additionally, technology now offers the opportunity to increase the immediacy of interventions. However, not much emphasis has been placed on how to extract truly actionable knowledge and how to bring it effectively as part of a learning experience. In this talk, we will use the concept of feedback as the focus to establish a specific connection between the knowledge derived from data-analysis procedures and the actions that can be immediately deployed in a learning environment. We will discuss how there is a trade-off between low-level automatic feedback and high-level complex feedback and how technology can provide efficient solutions for the case of large or highly diverse cohorts.

Articulating the connection between Learning Design and Learning Analytics

Abelardo Pardo

Learning analytics is a discipline that uses data captured by technology during a learning experience to increase our level of understanding, increase its quality, and improve the environment in which it occurs. But these experiences need to be designed first. In this talk we start from the statement that there is no such thing as a neutral design. In the era of increasing technology mediation Learning experiences need to be designed considering the capacity to capture data, the possibility of making sense and derive knowledge from the data, and the need to act on that knowledge. In this talk we will explore some initiatives to make these connections explicit in a learning design. Using a flipped learning experience, we will explore how to embed data and data analysis as part of the design tasks.

Increasing Student Engagement with Personalised Feedback

Abelardo Pardo

The role of data in the provision of feedback at scale

Abelardo Pardo

Technology mediation allows to capture comprehensive data sets about interactions occurring in learning experiences. Although these data sets have the potential of increasing the insight on how learning occurs, their use strongly depends on two aspects: the data has to be properly situated in the learning design, and the insights derived need to be translated into actions. In this talk we will explore how to establish this connection for the case of the provision of feedback. We will approach the problem from the point of view of intelligence amplification, that is, how data can support instructors to provide better support to learners through feedback. The talk will discuss some preliminary results from the Ontasklearning.org project.

What is sustained innovation anyway?

Abelardo Pardo

One of the objectives of the recently created Faculty of Engineering and IT Education Innovation unit is to promote "sustained innovation" in engineering educaiton. Innovation is a word that gets thrown around quite frequently and it is assumed we all know what it means. In recent times the term appears in more complex expressions such as "sustained innovation" or "culture of innovation". Organisations in general are facing challenges to go from stating the intent of adopting a culture of innovation and actually achieving it. Engineering and IT education is no exception. In fact, there are recent studies that point to the disparity of perception among academics about what exactly means innovation in the context of learning and teaching engineering and IT disciplines. In this session we will discuss several elements that need to be present for innovation to occur and collaboratively distil some conditions that would provide the right climate so that learning and teaching innovation flourishes in the faculty.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative

Peter 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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe. For more information, visit-www.vavaclasses.com

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

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.
