SUMMARY:Learning at Scale Special Interest Group
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next Learning at Scale Special Interest Group: \n  \nDigital badging as a way of accrediting learning at scale\n  \nTitle: Digital Badges in Context: Looking behind and beyond the digital badge \nSpeaker: Dr Simon Cross\, Senior Lecturer and Associate Director at the Institute of Educational Technology (IET)\, The Open University \nAbstract: \nDigital badges possess affordances that position them well as an option for reward and recognition in digital learning and teaching at scale. However\, the processes and structures required to issue and value badges may not be as compatible with such scaling. What are the factors that limit and enable their use at scale?  How can we better understand the application of digital badges in the digital and actual contexts in which they are employed? How can we strategically and practically exploit the constructive disruption that digital badges can cause to create a productive dissonance? In this presentation I will draw on emerging research from work undertaken with colleagues Freda Wolfenden and Lina Adinolfi and in collaboration with TISS\, India. This work has focused on online Teacher Professional Development (TPD) including\, most recently\, a multi-badge trial with teachers from over 200 schools in Assam\, India. Our mixed methods approach has been designed to help answer a range of research questions: from factor analysis of survey data to look beyond the intrinsic-extrinsic motivation dichotomy to in-depth interviews conducted by local language speakers to understand how badges may be valued and shared. As an outcome of this research and engagement with state and national stakeholders\, teachers and teacher educations\, I will share our conceptualisation – still work-in-progress- for how the use of digital badges could be used in TPD in general and in TPD at scale in particular.

SUMMARY:openAIED: How to prepare university assessment for a world with AI?
DESCRIPTION:openAIED Special Interest Group Seminars \n\n\n\nThursday 29th February | 10:00-11:00 AM \n\n\n\nHow to prepare university assessment for a world with AI? \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\n“This presentation will explore the impact Generative AI is having on assessment practices in HE and ways that The OU can respond. We will share strategies we are taking in Learning Design to support Module Teams to: a) adapt approaches to assessment in the face of AI; and b) consider the opportunities and challenges of incorporating AI in module materials. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss this important area.”  \n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\n“Mary Simper and Eleanor Moore are Learning Designers in LDS and are part of a group of five LDs who are considering all aspects of Generative AI and the impact on module teams and students. Mary has a particular focus on Authentic Assessment and Eleanor is exploring ways to both adapt and incorporate AI into assessment practices.” \n\n\n\n________________________________________________________________________________ \n\n\n\nMicrosoft Teams meeting \n\n\n\nJoin on your computer\, mobile app or room device \n\n\n\nClick here to join the meeting \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 375 146 008 94Passcode: jrN3tP \n\n\n\nDownload Teams | Join on the web \n\n\n\nFor The Open University’s privacy policy\, use the Legal link below \n\n\n\nLearn More | Meeting options | Legal
