{"title":"Reconceptualizing the curation of prescribed learning resources in an immersive block teaching model","authors":"Clare Thorpe, Tanya St. Clair Honey, Erica Wilson","doi":"10.14742/apubs.2023.504","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14742/apubs.2023.504","url":null,"abstract":"The presentation will describe how the curation of prescribed learning resources has been reconceived as an enabler of an immersive block teaching model. Contemporary higher education curriculum relies on high quality learning resources to engage students, to encourage them to adopt deeper learning approaches (Gledhil et al., 2017) and to support students’ academic adjustment to university (Owusu-Ageyman & Mugume, 2023). Little has been written about learning resources and reading lists within the digital transformation of higher education in the post-pandemic environment. The presentation will showcase a new way to position prescribed learning resources accessed as an integral feature of constructively aligned pedagogy within an immersive teaching model. Through the lens of an institutional case study at Southern Cross University, the presentation will show how prescribed learning resources delivered via integrated reading list technology are an enabling element of an innovative, student-centred, university-wide curriculum renewal project. At a time of increasing student expectations of teaching quality, academic, educational design and library staff need to review whether reading lists of learning resources are fit for purpose (Brewerton, 2014) and consider the cognitive load placed on students by reading (Barile et al., 2022). The presentation will outline the evidence-based, policy-led approach adopted by Southern Cross University and will demonstrate how learning resources and reading lists can contribute to student success. Prescribed learning resources and reading lists are now seen as pedagogical tools within the immersive teaching model, providing a variety of media-rich learning resources aligned to unit learning outcomes. Reading list parameters ensure that a manageable volume of learning is implemented, reducing cognitive load and barriers to participation. The approach to reading lists taken by Southern Cross University to empower immersive teaching practices provides a refreshed model for the use of prescribed learning resources in unit and curriculum design, development, and delivery.","PeriodicalId":236417,"journal":{"name":"ASCILITE Publications","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139217195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"There has to be a better way","authors":"Susan Tull","doi":"10.14742/apubs.2023.457","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14742/apubs.2023.457","url":null,"abstract":"With your laptop open in front of you, you’re ready to take notes on the new teaching intervention being introduced at today’s session. You’re feeling distracted by the research ideas you wanted to work on this morning, and the assessment grading you need to finish this afternoon. Today wasn’t a good time to focus on course development, but it was the only time this professional development session was being offered. At the end of the session you leave with a collection of notes, some great ideas, and the enthusiasm to implement changes that really make a difference. You go back to your grading, your research, and your teaching. Weeks later you look at your notes and wonder how you’re going to actually make those changes. There has to be a better way. As a TELedvisor, you find these one-off professional development sessions just as frustrating. Fresh teaching ideas are presented, champions share their exemplary practice, and opportunities for collaboration are provided, but often the same fully engaged academics attend each session. Overall improvement in course development across the institution doesn’t take place. You could run a day or three of focused course design sessions, if lecturers could commit to attending. You could have instructional designers develop the online or blended elements of a course, but if the teacher isn’t invested, or doesn’t understand the reasoning behind the design or the activities that have been implemented, then time-poor lecturers often teach in the way that they’ve been used to. Formal qualifications in tertiary teaching can support the development of a greater understanding, but only a few lecturers have the time or the enthusiasm to undertake these. There has to be a better way. The Academic Development team are trying something different at the University of Canterbury. We are implementing a learner centric process for professional development for teaching and course development. We have designed a flexible, blended, learner driven professional development process, in which lecturers are invited to take part. This process utilises many of the recommended practices for effective professional development (Cordingley et al.,2015; Darling-Hammond et al.,2017; Hertz et al., 2022; Richardson & Díaz Maggioli, 2018) as well as strategies we recommend for tertiary teaching, and is undertaken at a time and pace that works for the lecturer(s) of a course. Through both format and content, the process provides examples of good practice, involves lecturers in flipped learning, offers expert support, incorporates collaborative course development, and promotes reflective practice. How has this process been designed? How does it work? How is it being implemented? Is it having an impact? Commit seven minutes of your time to finding out (and bring your laptop to take notes).","PeriodicalId":236417,"journal":{"name":"ASCILITE Publications","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139218197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we advocate for a more systematic and sustained partnership between university museums and educators and present a case study of a partnership between an on-campus museum and a business school to teach students about responsible leadership. We outline the benefits and challenges of such interdisciplinary partnership and present a case study where we explore Object-Based Learning (OBL) as the central element of this collaboration.","PeriodicalId":236417,"journal":{"name":"ASCILITE Publications","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139219648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces creative and collaborative sensemaking with GenAI as an alternative form of academic and professional development to spark reflection on the implications of this technology for educators and to increase GenAI literacy. By combining human and AI-generated text in iterative loops, we created a text and a creative process to collectively investigate the use of GenAI in education. Collaborative poetic inquiry, an arts-based research method, was used in tandem with generative experiments using AI tools, culminating in an ode to collaborative sensemaking. Drawing on the authors’ collective experience as a group of educational professionals and academics, we then critically analysed how GenAI may impact educators and augment creative practices to generate new insights. Further implications for practice from this sensemaking with GenAI in education are discussed.","PeriodicalId":236417,"journal":{"name":"ASCILITE Publications","volume":"538 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139220532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"AI-powered peer review process","authors":"Eduardo Oliveira, Shannon Rios, Zhuoxuan Jiang","doi":"10.14742/apubs.2023.482","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14742/apubs.2023.482","url":null,"abstract":"Code review is a common type of peer review in Computer Science (CS) education. It’s a peer review process that involves CS students other than the original author examining source code and is widely acknowledged as an effective method for reducing software errors and enhancing the overall quality of software projects. While code review is an essential skill for CS students, they often feel uncomfortable to share their work or to provide feedback to peers due to concerns related to coding experience, validity, reliability, bias, and fairness. An automated code review process could offer students the potential to access timely, consistent, and independent feedback about their coding artifacts. We investigated the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) to automate a peer review process to enhance CS students’ engagement with code review in an industry-based subject in the School of Computing and Information System, University of Melbourne. Moreover, we evaluated the effectiveness of genAI at performing checklist-based assessments of code. A total of 80 CS students performed over 36 reviews in two different weeks. We found our genAI-powered reviewing process significantly increased students’ engagement in code review and, could also identify a larger number of code issues in short times, leading to more fixes. These results suggest that our approach could be successfully used in code reviews, potentially helping to address issues related to peer review in higher education settings.","PeriodicalId":236417,"journal":{"name":"ASCILITE Publications","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139222273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This design process was grounded in learning theory, using a team-based collaborative process to consider, develop and refine the course design. It started with a reflection on the learners and the learning environment. It then moved into an iterative process of investigation, creation and refinement of a new course that addresses the characteristics of the learners, the learning environment, authentic assessment and the learning outcomes holistically. This paper details the design process from initial conceptual thinking through to the final proposal ready for the University governance process and accreditation approval. Future directions could consider investigating the experience of all stakeholders involved in the process, as well as the student experience of the new course, to inform the process of collaborative course design.","PeriodicalId":236417,"journal":{"name":"ASCILITE Publications","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139222630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is limited research about how frequently pop-up questions should be asked, considering how this design decision may impact learners’ self-regulation and motivation to learn, as well as their perceptions of confidence and challenge associated with the learning content. This study aims to answer the above questions while considering learners’ final learning outcomes in a massive open online course (MOOC). In this study, learners were divided into high and low frequency groups. The high frequency group were given a question almost every 2 minutes whereas the low frequency group were given a question only once at the end of the video. No significant differences on any of the above factors were found between the two groups. Educators may take these results into account when designing MOOCs in the future. MOOCs are costly and time-consuming to create, and this experiment suggests that using resources on this level of detail may not be necessary.","PeriodicalId":236417,"journal":{"name":"ASCILITE Publications","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139223280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This ensures that trauma-sensitive issues can be addressed safely and effectively, providing students with invaluable experiential learning opportunities. Using VR, students could engage in simulated scenarios that mirror real-life. This immersive environment would allow them to gain firsthand experience and explore their emotional responses in a safe setting.

Findings from video-stimulated recall (VSR) and semi-structured interviews highlight the distinct advantages of both transcripts and subtitles in facilitating CLIL. While transcripts provide a robust textual reference, enabling learners to navigate through complex mathematical concepts efficiently, bilingual subtitles foster translanguaging and crosslinguistic strategies, empowering learners to leverage their full linguistic and cognitive repertoire for understanding mathematical concepts.
