Keynote for @MELSIG Social Media for Learning
A Social Media for Learning framework was presented clarifying how social media is being used to enhance and transform learning. Key ideas, examples and questions about the use of social media use in higher education will be mapped to the framework which will provide a reference point to consider ideas, opportunities and challenges.
Teaching and learning at universities has moved beyond traditional transfer of knowledge from the learned to the learning. In today’s rapidly evolving world, educators at higher education institutions are challenged with preparing students to succeed in jobs that don’t even exist today, in a world in which creativity and innovation are valued as much as knowledge.
What does it take to do this? What are the latest trends in teaching and learning at higher education institutions? Are they keeping up with the transformations taking place beyond campus boundaries? What are the strategies for broader adoption of effective teaching and learning practices across campus?
UCalgary's Vice-Provost of Teaching and Learning (Interim) Leslie Reid and Jay Cross, Director of the new College of Discovery, Creativity and Innovation in UCalgary's Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning, provide their expert knowledge on these and other related questions.

Telepractice Speech Pathology: The UTS ExperienceBronwyn Hemsley
On 19th March 2020, a week after the COVID-19 Pandemic was announced by WHO, the University of Technology Sydney reached out to its community and offered a free 1-hour seminar to speech pathologists in Australia to teach them about using telepractice in a speech pathology clinic. Within three days of sending a single tweet to advertise the training, more than 150 speech pathologists registered to find out about how UTS was using telepractice, and using the Coviu software platform. UTS has no financial interest in Coviu and receives no benefit for this presentation. Please acknowledge UTS and Dr Lucy Bryant (author) appropriately if using these materials for teaching others and use the resources to help your colleagues to provide services online.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Editor's Notes
We would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and their Elders past, present and emerging as traditional Custodians of knowledge of this land. Thank you for the opportunity to share our work today.
We would also like to thank and acknowledge people across the university who have provided guidance, enthusiasm and insight as we've developed and shaped these new programs including Emily Oquist, Kevin Millingham, Jan McLean, Hana Roch, Jim Woulfe, and all of the subject co-ordinators and academics in our two disciplines.
We're going to briefly introduce our professions and the aims we have for our new Masters programs, invite you to engage with us by adding your ideas to a padlet during our presentation, and show you a range of ways in which we've used Canvas. We'll finish by revisiting the padlet and summarising what we've learnt this year.
As new programs at UTS it is important that we tell you briefly about what our professions involve, as this a central drivers for the way we are using active learning and constructive alignment in our courses.
Genetic counsellors support people with and at risk of hereditary disorders by interpreting family and medical histories, providing education, and most importantly, counselling to promote adaptation. Speech pathologists work with both children and adults in many settings who have communication or swallowing disorders.
Our students will graduate into a world of work more diverse and uncertain than any previous generation. Preparing them to embrace the opportunities afforded by this time of rapid technological advancement is an exciting challenge for our professions and for educators. In line with the UTS Model of Learning, our programs will produce graduates who are practice-oriented and work ready, savvy with technology, independent learners who are equipped for the rapidly changing health landscape in which they will work.
The two disciplines differ in some respects, however both programs encourage and support students of a wide age range and with a variety of backgrounds in undergraduate health and science. Genetic Counselling is delivered in blended mode, utilising Canvas, 'live and online classes on Zoom and on-campus workshops once per Session, making it accessible to students living all over Australia.
The main drivers for our use of Canvas has been to (i) connect and engage with our students, (ii) foster active learning, and (ii) increase the confidence and competence of students in learning as peers, to support their lifelong learning. We achieved this through working closely with learning designers in the School, Learning.Futures, and Postgraduate Futures. We’ve also worked closely with our students to understand and enhance the way they use Canvas.
In this presentation we will show several examples of ways we have used Canvas to enhance engagement, foster collaborative and authentic learning activities and assessments, increase access to internal and external experts and resources, encourage students to interact and collaborate, and enable greater engagement with industry through bringing consumers and experts into the online learning environment.
We wanted to show you the padlet, which is one of the tools that has been used in several ways across both courses. While you listen and watch our presentation, you can also go to this website (provide) and add your ideas about ways to apply what you are hearing about, in your own classes or course design. At the end of the presentation we will revisit the Padlet and show you what the audience think about applying these strategies.
We will now provide a range of examples of ways we are using canvas in our foundation year to achieve our aims.
Genetic counselling students have timetabled classes on Zoom for 6-8 hours per week. Working with students on Zoom is like having every student in the front row. Zoom offers an engaging, flexible environment where we can do pretty much everything we would do in a physical classroom – including small group work, role plays, debates, drop in sessions, and host invited guests. The Zoom classes are set up within Canvas so students use their Canvas calendar to enter the Zoom classroom each week.
It’s always important, perhaps even more so when students are off campus, to be very present in Canvas. One way to do this is to use your ‘teacher voice’ and presence in Canvas as a means of connecting with your students. Here are two examples of different teachers keeping their identity and voice present in the learning materials. This page is part of a module on academic writing where the teacher is using both her voice and that of George Orwell to enhance student engagement with the material.
This academic has a very conversational and humorous ‘teacher voice’, making a complex topic accessible by joking with the students that what they’ll be covering this week takes medical students 3 years.
It is easy to include regular, brief activities that invite students in and get them ready to engage intellectually and emotionally with the material presented online. Fostering student reflection on a topic prior to classes is important in priming their engagement and interest, and helps them to see the relevance of the topic materials to their professional work. This is an example of a simple interactive activity that asks students to note what they already know.
Authentic assessments are common across both programs. This example from genetic counselling shows a group task, simulating an Ethics Committee. Students worked in small groups to review a study, and then recorded ethics committee meetings to consider the applications and reach a decision – unanimously not approved requiring further information and re-writing! In the screenshot the chair was calling the meeting to order.
Another simple strategy to capture student views before class was to replicate a poll provided on a blog. The whole cohort responded to the poll before class, and came ready for lively discussion.
ALISON: We’d like to introduce our students, seen here during their final classes for 2019. It is becoming a ‘tradition’ for genetic counselling students to dress up for the final class of a session, with several dogs also dressing up for the occasion. The strength of connection these students experience is very evident in this image.
BRONWYN: On the final day of classes last week, speech pathology students and staff brought in foods that were culturally important to them. This meal included both teaching and professional staff who had supported the students through the year. This will become a tradition for end of Session classes into the future.
Speech pathologists need to learn to read and produce gestures and Key Word Sign, which uses the signs from Auslan but in spoken word order. Learning the gestures and signs requires practice and watching and imitating others, it cannot be learned from a book, and videos help. In this Padlet activity between classes, students were asked to locate the finger spelling alphabet in Sign Bank (online videos of signs) and to post a video of them finger spelling their name. This was a hugely popular activity, and showed us the value of asking students to post Selfies for learning purposes, something they were quite practiced at already through their use of social media.
Students could also share cultural meanings behind gestures, something which they brought to class that was not in the books – using their prior knowledge to link to the teaching in that session
Phonological transcription, or being able to accurately capture the sounds of a person’s speech in writing, without the conventions of spelling, is another important aspect of a speech pathologist’s work. It is often an anxiety provoking and stressful learning activity relying on rote learning and memory for the symbols. This activity made it a creative one – students had to transcribe their own name, and then transcribe how a child with a speech disorder would pronounce the student’s name. This is an authentic activity - one day students will be transcribing a child’s speech sound disorder.
This is an example of encouraging students to engage and interact with the learning materials, individually. Listening to a podcast online, then answering 3 questions in writing, to keep as a PDF, enabled students to engage and reflect, and bring their learning to the classroom as a PDF.
In an active learning activity surrounding the Research Design subject in speech pathology, this activity was used on multiple levels to (i) gain the student’s perspectives research design courses as a ’participant’ in the research task to inform the subject coordinator’s approach to learning, (ii) to anchor key survey design principles to their experiential learning “if we repeat this at the end, what type of design is that?” and how to (iii) critically interpret the results “what was our response rate? …do we have a representative sample of class?”
Students completed the survey prior to coming to class, enabling the lecturer A/Prof Emma Power to gauge where they were at with their attitudes to research design subjects. The survey was repeated at the end of class showing while enjoyment was still not a strong feature of their attitudes to research courses, their anxiety around those courses had much reduced/ Provides us with food for thought about ways to improve these type of courses next time.
We’re using Canvas to support learning and assessment activities that create ways for students to interact with experts and resources. In this assessment students prepared for and interviewed experienced researchers in genetic counselling and delivered presentations to the class. The presentations were uploaded in Canvas and presented using screenshare in Zoom during class.
This is an example of access to library materials in combination with interactive learning apps (Padlet in this case). Speech pathology students watched a TV show segment and then answered a question about ‘vocabulary’, this one reflects another important aspect of design of communication boards for people who cannot speak and what brothers and sisters might like to say to one another.
UTS is home to many experts who are now being encouraged to write blogs, Conversation articles, and promote their work in the media.
This podcast on 3D food printing was created recently by Jake Morcom at 2SER, highlighting our Protospace and GSH research on 3D food printing for people with swallowing disorders is now linked in to the Canvas site for the Swallowing Disorders subject for students to consider barriers to and enablers for this innovative tech application.

Harmony Turnbull teaches in speech pathology and was interviewed by Speech Pathology Australia on the subject of her Higher Degree Research, writing accessible reports in allied health care. Here students were encouraged to listen to the podcast and answer three questions before class. This is an example of a podcast that is relevant across disciplines, so it is important that courses share their Canvas resources and activities that could be modified or adapted for other disciplines accordingly.
Canvas provides a platform in which students and teachers can interact and have vigorous discussions. For this assessment task we used discussion pages for students to post a critical appraisal of a journal article and pose questions for their peers. They then moderated the discussion for the week. This activity generated 475 student interactions over a period of 8 weeks, which is close to 20 interactions by each student in the cohort.
Fiona Bridger appeared in the speech pathology course as a guest lecturer who has no functional speech and uses a speech generating device to communicate. First seeing Fiona on QandA on the Enabled episode, asking a question from the audience, Bronwyn approached her to provide a guest lecture to her class. On Canvas, Fiona’s Twitter and Linked in profiles were streamed. Having students use the Canvas during her lecture meant that she could review the questions in the break and compose her messages in reply during her second lecture. In this way, Canvas provided an accommodation that helped the guest with disability to provide interactive responses in the time available.
We’ve used Canvas as a platform for students to learn from a range of industry experts and consumers, who the students may not otherwise have had the opportunity to interact with. Rochelle, Russell, Jo, and Lisa have all developed learning materials and interacted with the students in Canvas.
We wanted to show you the padlet, which is one of the tools that has been used in several ways across both courses. While you listen and watch our presentation, you can also go to this website (provide) and make a note here of any ways that you could apply what you are hearing about, in your own classes or course design. At the end of the presentation we will revisit the Padlet and show you what the audience think about applying these strategies.
I’d end on this? After the padlet to reinforce your key messages
