Developing a Suite of Flexible Learner Transition Tools - The Student Success...James Brunton
Presented at e-Learning Excellence Awards - European Conference on e-Learning.
The Student Success Toolbox project is a nationally funded research and technology development project that focuses on the facilitation of effective flexible learner transition into higher education. The project targets those programme teams/institutions with adults engaged in undergraduate, part-time or online/distance-learning during the initial stages of the study-lifecycle. The project has developed a toolbox of eight digital readiness/preparation tools, leveraging digital technologies to establish new approaches to assist advisors in helping new applicants to assess their own readiness for flexible learning and in providing learners with relevant, timely feedback to enhance their chances of success. These are Open Educational Resources (OERs) with a Creative Commons Licence (CC-BY), made openly available to, and actively shared with, programme teams/institutions. Alongside the tools there is a guide on how to use the tools as part of a strategic flexible learner socialisation program and, where appropriate, directions on how to technically augment the tools to customise them for a specific programme or institution.
Teaching Landscape Democracy for landscape architects and environmental plann...Deni Ruggeri
This presentation attempted to evaluate the first year of a three-year project funded by the Erasmus + strategic partnership program funded by the European Union. The LED-Landscape Education for Democracy project aimed at developing a new online/on-site course that would fill a gap in current design and planning education regarding issues of landscape and ecological democracy, social justice and democratic design theories and practices. The presentation was given at this year's 5th Fabos Conference that took place in Budapest June 30-July 2nd.

Deliberative Democracy as a Strategy for Co-designing University Ethics Around Analytics and AI in Education
Simon Buckingham Shum
Connected Intelligence Centre, University of Technology Sydney
Universities can see an increasing range of student and staff activity as it becomes digitally visible in their platform ecosystems. The fields of Learning Analytics and AI in Education have demonstrated the significant benefits that ethically responsible, pedagogically informed analysis of student activity data can bring, but such services are only possible because they are undeniably a form of “surveillance”, raising legitimate questions about how the use of such tools should be governed.
Our prior work has drawn on the rich concepts and methods developed in human-centred system design, and participatory/co-design, to design, deploy and validate practical tools that give a voice to non-technical stakeholders (e.g. educators; students) in shaping such systems. We are now expanding the depth and breadth of engagement that we seek, looking to the Deliberative Democracy movement for inspiration. This is a response to the crisis in confidence in how typical democratic systems engage citizens in decision making. A hallmark is the convening of a Deliberative Mini-Public (DMP) which may work at different scales (organisation; community; region; nation) and can take diverse forms (e.g. Citizens’ Juries; Citizens’ Assemblies; Consensus Conferences; Planning Cells; Deliberative Polls). DMP’s combination of stratified random sampling to ensure authentic representation, neutrally facilitated workshops, balanced expert briefings, and real support from organisational leaders, has been shown to cultivate high quality dialogue in sometimes highly conflicted settings, leading to a strong sense of ownership of the DMP's final outputs (e.g. policy recommendations).
This symposium contribution will describe how the DMP model is informing university-wide consultation on the ethical principles that should govern the use of analytics and AI around teaching and learning data.

How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.
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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...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.

I felt comfortable expressing my opinion and
providing input to an online discussion forum
Participating in DCU Fuse was a good use of my
time
I understood how the conversations related to
aspects of the strategic planning process at DCU
The platform is a good way to solicit views and allow
large groups of people to contribute to debates
The topics covered a wide range of areas within the
university in a transparent manner
I found using DCU Fuse to be an interesting
experience
The conversation topics were relevant to my work/
study/ activity at DCU
29. “All education springs from images of the future and all
education creates images of the future. Thus all
education, whether so intended or not, is a preparation
for the future. Unless we understand the future for
which we are preparing we may do tragic damage to
those we teach.”
(Toffler, 1974).
Put simply, the traditional degree is higher education's version of the bundle. As Ryan Craig (2015) points out bundling has been central to the higher education business model for centuries. Institutions combine content and a wide range of products and services into a single package, which generates revenue.
However, this is a simplistic view as unbundling has many different faces. In this brief presentation, I will touch on six of these that have particular relevance to Irish higher education.
