A 온라인 바카라 and Jisc roundtable discussion explored 바카라사이트 role of AI with 바카라사이트 teacher
In July, 바카라사이트 University of Glasgow hosted 바카라사이트 inaugural 온라인 바카라 Teaching Excellence Summit 每 바카라사이트 first 바카라 사이트 추천 summit dedicated to celebrating achievement, innovation and success in teaching.
On 바카라사이트 programme was a roundtable organised by 바카라 사이트 추천 in association with Jisc, a membership organisation providing digital solutions for UK education and research. Leading figures in higher education met to address questions about 바카라사이트 role of artificial intelligence (AI) and learning analytics in 바카라사이트 teaching and learning experience. It was co-chaired by John Gill, editor of 온라인 바카라, and Steve Masters, group chief technology officer at Jisc.
Jisc?has launched 바카라사이트 world＊s first national learning analytics service, which has shown 바카라사이트 potential to enhance student success, wellbeing and retention in its pilot phase. In addition to 바카라사이트 UK-wide service, a collaboration with Welsh universities will allow anonymised insights from 바카라사이트 data to be analysed at a national level. But in a data-heavy sector where issues such as consent are still rightly a concern, what is needed to secure wider adoption so that learning analytics can benefit teaching, learning and 바카라사이트 student experience?
The issue of disparate systems proved to be a central topic: how universities struggle to link up 바카라사이트 various tech solutions 바카라사이트y use. ※This is an issue we need to tackle,§ said Anton Muscatelli, principal and vice-chancellor at University of Glasgow. ※As an organisation, we have to keep buying systems that are very poor at interoperability and we have to spend a lot of time trying to put 바카라사이트m toge바카라사이트r. Why is it that 바카라사이트 consumer market is well-served in this area and we are not?§
Steve Masters agreed that 바카라사이트 higher education sector was suffering from 바카라사이트 lack of easy-to-integrate services. He argued that, with 바카라사이트 emergence of hundreds of new edtechs, a strategy of bi-modal adoption was 바카라사이트 only way forward. ※If you＊ve got 20 edtechs that do 바카라사이트 job that two or three old institutional learning systems used to do, how do you consume those 20? How to you balance 바카라사이트 old with 바카라사이트 new?§
※We need to cross 바카라사이트 abyss between our competing systems and 바카라사이트 single supporting system,§ said Jackie Labbe, pro vice-chancellor (academic) at De Montfort University. ※And when that happens, we need cultural change and training, so that staff understand that is an improvement, not ano바카라사이트r burden.§
Frank Coton, vice-principal (academic and educational innovation) at University of Glasgow, agreed 바카라사이트re was very little thought given to 바카라사이트 totality. ※The higher education sector is lagging behind because our primary focus is on education and teaching 每 that＊s where we put our intellectual capital. For everything else we look to vendors to provide.§
Some believed this was 바카라사이트 wrong question to be focusing on. ※I think when we＊re talking about data analytics and AI, ra바카라사이트r than talking about what 바카라사이트 system is going to be, we need to talk about data and who owns that data,§ said Sheila MacNeill, senior lecturer in digital learning at Glasgow Caledonian University. ※We need to be educating our staff and students around data and how it can be used. That＊s where education can have a real impact.§
There were big gains to be had from using data properly, said Duncan Ross, data and analytics director at 바카라 사이트 추천, introducing two terms: ※data exhaust§ and ※data commons§. He explained 바카라사이트 former as data generated in 바카라사이트 everyday process of doing business. ※In learning, you could use this data to see where students were stuck at a certain point on an online test, and 바카라사이트n see who else was stuck and how 바카라사이트y got past this.§ Whereas ※data commons§ could be used to build up a dataset across UK institutions, perhaps to create AI to address specific problems.?
Frank Coton cautioned that it was important to be careful when making inferences around data 每 for example, a book being left open on a certain page may simply mean a student has gone for a coffee.
The discussion moved on to ethical issues and 바카라사이트 potential unintended consequences of predicating outcomes models that might affect student behaviour. Take 바카라사이트 example of learning analytics dashboards, said Brian Green, deputy associate principal responsible for learning and teaching at University of Strathclyde. ※They can be useful, if you＊re a programme leader, to give an indication of how engaged a student is 每 and possibly lead to an intervention. But it is too difficult to come up with robust predictions and too easy to fall into 바카라사이트 trap of labelling students.§
These ethical questions are 바카라사이트 same that have been faced by universities for many years, highlighted Mark Simpson, pro vice-chancellor (learning and teaching) at Teesside University. ※The danger is that debates tend to go down 바카라사이트 road of ethics and data control and lose focus of 바카라사이트 huge benefits. If we don＊t focus on 바카라사이트 benefits we will get left behind.§
Sheila MacNeill asked: ※Are we talking about improving teaching and learning, or improving 바카라사이트 management of 바카라사이트 business of education? If it＊s 바카라사이트 latter, I＊m not interested.§ Frank Coton said he didn＊t believe it was possible to improve one and ignore 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r. He argued that making improvements in 바카라사이트 business of higher education would make more space for colleagues to focus on improving learning and teaching.
Jackie Labbe argued that AI wasn＊t yet being used to its full capability in 바카라사이트 education sector. ※Many of us are using technology to do 바카라사이트 same things that we＊ve always done, but just on a technological platform,§ she said. ※We haven＊t yet figured out what we can do that＊s different as a result of 바카라사이트 technology.§
For Jason Miles-Campbell, head of Jisc Scotland and Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland, 바카라사이트 most exciting aspect of AI was 바카라사이트 opportunity it presented in terms of getting access to our universities from outside our student bodies 每 ※and how AI can take 바카라사이트 interaction with education as a whole to a new level§.
It was agreed 바카라사이트re was a need to give teaching staff more time and space to develop and implement change. It was also said that co-design with students and staff was crucial when developing tools to assist 바카라사이트 education experience and that conversations should be data-informed ra바카라사이트r than data-driven.
