This presentation summarizes major factors - technology acceptance models, risk matrices, validity measures - used to assess a survey of instructors on their acceptance of instructional technology. Transcript.

With the recent development of broadly effective generative artificial intelligence (GAI) this has led some to suggest that open learning resources can and should be developed at the time and point of need. The GAI could address each of the issues with static online learning resources (SOLR) by addressing it based on the learning need at the time of that need, as described by the specific prompt and the context of application. This presentation will provide an overview of the technology required to support such an approach. Transcript

This presentation will introduce open pedagogy through definition and some examples, outline the role of OER, and identify some core principles of practice. This will involve a discussion of student agency and community building. Open pedagogy in practice will be considered, including open approaches to renewable and responsive assignments and the development student-created OER. Participants will become aware of issues and challenges around open pedagogy, including those involving content rights, participation and privacy issues.

The idea of open online learning has been taken up by numerous colleges and universities, opening up new opportunities to many people previously unable to access higher education courses and materials. This presentation talks about the history of open online learning, the motivations for its development, open learning tools and resources available today, and the future of open online learning.

Connectivism is a relatively new learning theory that suggests students should combine thoughts, theories, and general information in a useful manner. Four key principles for learning: autonomy, connectedness, diversity, and openness. This presentation will outline the elements of Connectivism and model how it can be applied in an online learning setting.

In this presentation I introduce the basic elements of constructivim and social constructivism, outline the relation to critical theory, discuss applications in the classroom, and consider criticisms of social constructivism. Unedited audio transcript.

This workshop looks at recent policies, guidelines and frameworks developed by governments and institutions for the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence. How are they created, and what things do they address? Participants have the opportunity to identify important values and principles in order to develop a starting point for discussion relevant to their own context. (Slides will be available shortly)

Data literacy education across three frameworks: the competency model defining data literacy, the assessment of data literacy competencies, and methods for the development of data literacy in an organization.

• Based on the paper Three Frameworks for Data Literacy.

• Ethics Course given as Example

Instead of thinking about online learning as digital lessons and classes, to make the most of it think of it as an environment for doing things. So our learning begins with the question 'what do I want to do?'. This talk describes how to do that, from finding communities, to learning from experts, to discovering your own voice. (Audio on the video isn't very good, so maybe listed to the audio file instead; it's a little quiet but a lot clearer).
