1 | 00:21:47 Eric Atwell: I just found out 95% of promotion applications at Leeds Uni are successful: “you only fail if you don't try”!

9 | 00:29:23 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): https://transformeducation.co.uk/
10 | 00:32:19 Eric Atwell: Question: do I need insurance to cover legal liability in a "side hustle”?
11 | 00:33:16 Eric Atwell: So .. should I change my name to increase my ranking???
12 | 00:33:50 Doschmund: @Eric, all business require insurance for liability.. Professional, Business, Employer etc., depending on how you operate
13 | 00:34:16 Eric Atwell: It's OK, I am already top hit for “Eric Atwell" as I have done Search Engine Optimisation myself
14 | 00:35:39 Doschmund: Some companies specifically request certain types of insurances before signing a contract
15 | 00:42:58 Andrew Moles: How do you dedicate enough time with the busy lives we lead? Is there a danger of burnout? I've been keen to start a blog on useful things I've learned, but just can't seem to find the time!
16 | 00:45:43 Andrew Moles: Great talk!
17 | 00:46:26 Luisa Cutillo: I like "Perfect is the enemy of good" end line!
18 | 00:46:31 Eric Atwell: This talk is a useful for teaching AI and DS MSc students

25 | 00:57:31 Eric Atwell: How do we get funding to support all these roles? EPSRC funds Research Fellows to develop the core science (eg new AI software) but thn who funds the other roles??
26 | 00:59:57 Eric Atwell: How can I guess hat users want??
27 | 01:00:03 Doschmund: If the project is small and funding is limited, you could considering the skillset and the benefit that brings, rather than individual roles. In a larger complex project, these are add a lot of value
28 | 01:00:58 Doschmund: I wish there is an option to correct error, I noticed a few, sorry 🙂
29 | 01:15:22 Alden Conner (she/her): I have to drop off, thanks everyone!

9 | 00:12:17 Ruby Chang: good morning
10 | 00:12:18 Noorhan: Good morning everyone.
11 | 00:12:22 Matt Forshaw (he/him): Good morning everyone; i hope you're keeping well 🙂
12 | 00:12:35 Kwong-Cheong Wong: Good morning!
13 | 00:12:37 Martin Goodfellow: Morning everyone
14 | 00:12:50 Adnane Ez-zizi: Good morning
15 | 00:12:50 shamsuddeen: Morning from Nigeria !
16 | 00:12:51 Riddhima Kedia: hello!
17 | 00:13:05 Eric Atwell: obvius answer: we taught lectures via Zoom instead of in lecture theaters
18 | 00:13:06 MARIA NAVAS LORO: Good morning! I started my teaching duties right after pandemics, but I would say it forced us to adapt all activities so they can be done online... in some cases it is difficult
19 | 00:13:13 Luisa Cutillo: I had to transition to online delivery of course, creating videos on top of my lecture as everyone I guess. The main challenge was to make it 'interactive' even if it was asynchronous.
20 | 00:13:30 Nancy Ruzycki: Had to adapt experiential learning to an online environment
21 | 00:13:46 Andrew Moles: Morning! My role became more flexible but also busier as with in-person and remote teaching there was just more to think about, like the pros and cons of each style. It certainly provides a new environment which suits shy students (online)
22 | 00:14:05 Anastasis Georgoulas: Had to rethink what the best ways of providing information were, and ensure contact opportunities with students
23 | 00:14:05 Eric Atwell: Zoom lectures are more interactive than in-LT teachiing, as students "chat" more readily
24 | 00:14:27 Inigo Aldazabal: Adapt carpentries practices to online teaching was very difficult
25 | 00:15:17 Matt Forshaw (he/him): HackMD link: https://hackmd.io/7_MGYRWoR6mmf3Q9uMwK6A
26 | 00:15:37 Martin Goodfellow: Stopped giving lectures. Instead broke up lectures into short videos for each concept (max 10 mins) and used Zoom sessions for Q and As and tutorials.
27 | 00:15:50 Eric Atwell: Actually giving lecures via Zoom was not much different from live lectures .. .diffierences were much less important than similarities, a bit like the difference between UK and US English: more or less the same overall, even tho we notice the differences
28 | 00:19:55 Eric Atwell: Do you know how many UK University partners of Turing also use Moodle? Leeds Uni uses Blackboard, the main commercial rival to Moodle
29 | 00:20:43 Adnane Ez-zizi: Are these Turing's online courses already available?
30 | 00:20:50 Andrew Moles: Most London based universities I've worked for/worked with use Moodle
31 | 00:21:03 Eric Atwell: How can I try this case study 1 course? Can I re-use it for teaching Leeds Uni AI students?
32 | 00:22:43 Eric Atwell: WHY is it better in smaller chinks? Surely if there is a long video, students can pause at any point?
33 | 00:23:43 Eric Atwell: What is “research engineering”??
34 | 00:25:22 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): The research engineering group includes the research software engineers and research data scientists
35 | 00:25:37 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): @Eric I will direct some of these questions to Sarah!
36 | 00:26:10 Surangika Ranathunga Ranathunga: @sarah s it the flip class concept?
37 | 00:26:12 Anastasis Georgoulas: I also thought smaller chunks would be better, but when we recorded a class, some students asked for the whole recording so they can download it all at once.
38 | 00:26:16 Ogerta Elezaj: @Eric small videos allow the learners to start and finish each lecture in one sitting— instead of stopping in the middle and forgetting where they left off...
39 | 00:26:40 Ruby Chang: Are these courses aiming for people outside Turing without much data science and ai background?
40 | 00:27:15 Eric Atwell: A video also can also have a TRANSCRIPT, whcih students can use to recap meterial - this is missing in a live lecture
41 | 00:27:19 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): @Ruby - the courses vary and will always have information on the necessary prerequisites
42 | 00:27:57 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): @Ruby - the courses are for anyone to attend but the prerequisites vary!
43 | 00:28:01 MARIA NAVAS LORO: @Eric as far as I know, students right now lose interest really fast, their average attention time is of around 10 min... maybe it is one of the reasons why they do short videos?
44 | 00:29:04 Eric Atwell: @Maria, maybe Leeds Uni MSc and BSc students are different, they are used to paying attention for an hour, IF the lecturer is sufficiently inspiring and enthusiastic
45 | 00:31:01 Eric Atwell: I have heard that “young people cannot pay attention for more than 10 minutes” but I think this is just a social panic strategy by the news media
46 | 00:32:21 Adnane Ez-zizi: Are you collecting data from the learner's interactions with the platform? And if yes, for what purposes?
47 | 00:32:21 Eric Atwell: “A social panic is a state where a social or community group reacts negatively and in an extreme or irrational manner to unexpected or unforeseen changes in their expected social status quo.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_panic
48 | 00:32:34 Ruby Chang: @ Eric there are lots of distraction when learning at home; maybe we need to tell them to block time that they can concentrate.
49 | 00:34:05 Luisa Cutillo: In my experience a mix of asynchronous + sync. lecture a week balnces out very well
50 | 00:34:12 georgina: for students who have ADHD etc and struggle to concentrate, the chunking method is much more beneficial to them
51 | 00:34:24 Nancy Ruzycki: You have to think about the point of the video (the agency) if the purpose of the video is a short informational video as part of a learning progression that has a different purpose than a long recorded lecture
52 | 00:35:09 Eric Atwell: We are competing with TV shows of 30-45 minutes, eg training on coaching and teaching by “Ted Lasso" is
53 | 00:36:29 Eric Atwell: @Luisa, this year I did all teaching this way, and plan to continue for next year: “In my experience a mix of asynchronous + sync. lecture a week balnces out very well"
54 | 00:38:31 Sarah Nietopski: @Adnane - we will be collecting some data from users about how they interact. The main purpose is to get insight into things like which courses/modules are most used, where people drop out, and things like that. (things to help us improve and develop courses in the future)
55 | 00:38:42 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3EMsf9kusA
56 | 00:39:22 Eric Atwell: How much does this cost? Maybe the cost of employing a lecturer?
57 | 00:39:49 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-388435-0.50002-0
58 | 00:40:20 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): A good question @Eric - I will ask at the end!
59 | 00:40:54 Sarah Nietopski: @Surangika - most of our focus is on fully asynchronous courses, but we've been considering the flipped model for future live courses. We think it could be really useful if learners do some of the lectures etc. on their own and then use the sessions with live instructors to do Q&A/discussions/etc.
60 | 00:41:22 Eric Atwell: I'm a sci fi fan so might enjoy trying “alien technology”!
61 | 00:41:45 georgina: Related to Eric's question, is this only used at universities? It seems expensive and looks like it might be out of a secondary school's (or even primary school’s) budget
62 | 00:43:38 Adnane Ez-zizi: If I understand this correctly, are you providing (all) students with hardware like mics and cameras if they are attending the lectures from online?
63 | 00:45:24 Eric Atwell: Sorry I dont understand what is being correlated …
64 | 00:46:53 Eric Atwell: All these problems with acoustics etc - does this imply we should stick to video recording of Zoom lectures?
65 | 00:47:08 Maarya Sharif: what does ASR mean?
66 | 00:47:26 Eric Atwell: ASR automatic speech recognition - to get auto transcript
67 | 00:47:37 Maarya Sharif: ah, thanks!
68 | 00:47:45 Eric Atwell: (I tihkn)
69 | 00:47:55 Eric Atwell: (I think)
70 | 00:49:01 Surangika Ranathunga Ranathunga: @Eric is correct
71 | 00:49:22 Eric Atwell: “bear in mind workload” - of students, or of teachers? Probalby BOTH have more workload if you use all this tech.
72 | 00:49:34 Surangika Ranathunga Ranathunga: +1 :)
73 | 00:49:49 Andy MacLachlan: Good point Eric, I was feeling a bit nervous hearing about all this setup
74 | 00:49:50 Surangika Ranathunga Ranathunga: But some are just one-off work
75 | 00:49:53 Adnane Ez-zizi: I can relate with the exhaustion that comes with the use of multiple screen and trying to cater for both students joining online and in-person
76 | 00:50:50 Eric Atwell: “monitored by TA” - some of us don't have a spare TA to help with teaching …
77 | 00:51:04 Ruby Chang: I am struggling to read the chats and pay attention to the presentation at the same time :D
78 | 00:51:37 Luisa Cutillo: need a double screen setting :-)
79 | 00:51:50 Eric Atwell: @Ruby you need a TA to monitor the chat!
80 | 00:52:32 Anastasis Georgoulas: I get the sense that King's College was very proactive and openminded about getting equipment! Which is good ot see :)
81 | 00:52:33 Ruby Chang: @Eric cat is sleeping on the desk...
82 | 00:52:53 Luisa Cutillo: In the school of math we have cameras following the speaker. I Find that it helps a lot
83 | 00:53:10 georgina: Thanks Rodrigo that was really interesting 🙂
84 | 00:54:34 Eric Atwell: At Leeds Uni we have a room like this ... but we have thousands of taught modules, and only about 3 can use the system
85 | 00:55:05 Maarya Sharif: I've heard posititve feedback on the OWL camera
86 | 00:55:06 Eric Atwell: The other 999+ teachers have to use Zoom for lecures
87 | 00:57:57 Eric Atwell: How many taught modules at Kings are taught via Hyflex?
88 | 00:58:08 Nancy Ruzycki: We have had trouble with the owl and the mics in the room picking up voices
89 | 00:59:45 Matt Forshaw (he/him): HackMD link for breakout: https://hackmd.io/7_MGYRWoR6mmf3Q9uMwK6A
90 | 01:08:33 Maja Buljan: didn't get a chance to say thanks to my breakout room, so thanks!
91 | 01:08:48 Maarya Sharif: what is the GitHub link?
92 | 01:08:54 Nancy Ruzycki: Thanks to the speakers
93 | 01:09:01 Matt Forshaw (he/him): Thank you so much everyone for joining; wishing you a very nice rest of your day!
94 | 01:09:10 Surangika Ranathunga Ranathunga: thanks
95 | 01:09:12 Ruby Chang: thank you.
96 | 01:09:19 Martin Goodfellow: Thanks all
97 | 01:09:19 Anastasis Georgoulas: Thanks everyone!
98 | 01:09:24 Maja Buljan: thanks everyone, see you next week!
99 | 01:09:25 Eric Atwell: thank you for food forvthoguht

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | 00:15:46 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: Collaborative HackMD document - we will populate this with other links after the call https://hackmd.io/IDtuYddoTIqo0Wm6kacJog?view
2 | 00:20:55 David Tarrant: Auto AI animations :)
3 | 00:25:50 Eric Atwell: Did he say 30 participants? I assumed these online learning resources were aimed at MOOC-style delivery to hundreds or thousands of students
4 | 00:26:44 Luisa Cutillo: @eric I think this involves interaction
5 | 00:26:55 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: The live delivery has a limited number of participants, the self-paced courses are open to all and therefore unlimited number of participants
6 | 00:27:48 Luisa Cutillo: I guessed so, a bit like this course :-)
7 | 00:28:34 Eric Atwell: How are students assessed, to get a Grade at the end? For self-paced students and for live delivery - is assesment different for these 2 user groups?
8 | 00:29:11 Luisa Cutillo: Is there an assessment?
9 | 00:30:56 Clau Fischer (she/her): Link to the blogpost: https://turing-commons.netlify.app/blog/2022/10-06-2022-public-engagement/
10 | 00:31:17 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Our first two courses were actually delivered online over the course of 5 days with the participants. We're now in the process of building this into a self-directed course (e.g. MOOC style).
11 | 00:32:00 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: There was no formal assessment for these courses. However, there were capstone projects at the end of the week that required the participants to draw upon the lessons learned over the previous days.
12 | 00:33:16 jakemarshall: Very interested in looking into these since are we reviewing our ethics and governance course as we speak! These could be fabulous resources to point our students towards (I'm in capability at the civil service 🙂)
13 | 00:33:32 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Our goal was to promote reflection and deliberation, and to see where assessment could support that. We will try to integrate some assessment into the MOOC style version, but this will always be secondary for us, as we are not dealing with questions that have "right" answers. Instead, we will be trying to assess how well participants can apply the frameworks or models in their own projects.
14 | 00:34:10 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: Please keep the questions coming - we will try to answer them in the panel discussion 😀
15 | 00:34:34 Eric Atwell: I wish we did not have to set and mark formal assessments in our AI teaching! https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6942014516708696065/
16 | 00:35:29 Valentina Andries: Are these courses available?
17 | 00:35:59 jakemarshall: Are these ODI and turing courses free? Or are they part of a subscription or?
18 | 00:36:26 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: I agree, Eric. Developing effective assessments in the space of data/AI ethics is very challenging. We're going to work with a number of educational institutions over the coming months to think about how to do this responsibly.
19 | 00:36:41 Doschmund: I attend and recommend the Data Ethics Professional Course - Call me biased 🙂
20 | 00:37:19 Ogerta Elezaj: Can you share the links of the courses?
21 | 00:37:33 Eric Atwell: I wish we had a corpus or data-set of reusable AI assessments, preferrably with auto-grading so AI can help reduce teacher workload https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ericatwell_negotiated-offers-agreed-by-ucu-members-activity-6942014516708696065-NO3e?utm_source=linkedin_share&utm_medium=member_desktop_web
22 | 00:37:44 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Turing Commons link: https://turing-commons.netlify.app
23 | 00:37:51 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: I will let David share the ODI links later.
24 | 00:38:47 Doschmund: https://theodi.org/events/courses/
25 | 00:39:53 Luisa Cutillo: Can we have the links to all these resources in a shared document please?
26 | 00:40:11 Eric Atwell: Do you have a corpus or text-data-set of ethics+AI case studies, so we can apply text analytics to analyse and learn from the case studies? eg see http://catalogue.elra.info/en-us/
27 | 00:40:51 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Interesting proposal, Eric. We're building a repository of case studies at the moment. WIll certainly think about how to make the information accessible for data mining and analysis/
28 | 00:41:39 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Our existing case studies are structured, but have been shared as PDFs so far—not the best for data mining!!
29 | 00:42:13 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Our goal is to develop a more structured repository, and maybe enable an API for people to access.
30 | 00:42:37 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Will certainly think about how this could be used to support ongoing research.
31 | 00:43:16 jakemarshall: It would also be good to group them by industry too, that way people won't need to scan through case studies to find one on ‘retail' for example 😛
32 | 00:43:24 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: @Luisa I am adding here to the bottom of the hackMD doc https://hackmd.io/IDtuYddoTIqo0Wm6kacJog?both
33 | 00:43:33 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: Adding the links*
34 | 00:43:40 Luisa Cutillo: Grazie!
35 | 00:43:42 jakemarshall: Perhaps that's too difficult a task if they cross multiple industries, but just throwing thoughts out there
36 | 00:43:43 Eric Atwell: The Association for Computational Linguistics collects published academic research and teaching texts, for use in AI and text analytics research, eg the ACL Anthology https://aclanthology.org/ https://www.sketchengine.eu/acl-anthology-reference-corpus-arc/
37 | 00:43:55 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Definitely, Jake. They will certyainly be domain-specific. We're working with a couple of UK CDTs at the moment to ensure this is effetcive.
38 | 00:44:33 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: I think Mishka's team will advertise some upcoming workshops if anyone is here from a current CDT and would like to contribute.
39 | 00:45:49 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: Yes we will definitely advertise open upcoming opportunities with everyone here - keep an eye on Slack!
40 | 00:46:16 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: And just to reiterate, these were 5-day long courses!!!
41 | 00:47:51 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: I will share some links to our existing case studies once I have stopped screen sharing.
42 | 00:49:11 Eric Atwell: In collating the repository of case studies, please think about making them available in a range of formats - PDFs are ok for humans to read, but for text analytics, SketchEngine format is better
43 | 00:49:11 Anastasis Georgoulas: What kind of structured activities did you have, besides the case studies?
44 | 00:49:59 jakemarshall: Another thing to point out is that PDF is not accessible for screen readers for example, htmls that are correctly formatted tend to be the best solution for that, so to be as inclusive as possible, definitely include more than one version 😄
45 | 00:50:20 Clau Fischer (she/her): So in the Public engagement course, all of the activities where structured around a hypothetical public engagement project.
46 | 00:50:44 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Yep. It's a limitation we are working to improve. Just trying to develop the necessary infrastructure to support altenratives.
47 | 00:51:19 Eric Atwell: You have told us about your infrastructure; I was expecitng to learn about ethics issues in AI and how to teach about hem…
48 | 00:51:23 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Our website does follow semantic HTML best practices though, so should be screenm reader accessible.
49 | 00:51:48 Clau Fischer (she/her): We asked the groups to define a hypothetical project where public engagement was necessary, and then used this case throughout the course, asking them to apply the course materials to it
50 | 00:52:06 Anastasis Georgoulas: I see, thanks Clau!
51 | 00:52:07 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Happy to expand on tihs in the panel, Eric.
52 | 00:52:08 jakemarshall: Good stuff 😛! Wanted to point it out as the accessibility audit carried out on our materials pointed out problems with PDFs being separate links and requiring extensions etc 😛
53 | 00:53:09 Eric Atwell: By coincidence, SketchEngine format is good. for text analytics and also good for accessibility and screenreaders
54 | 00:53:21 Anastasis Georgoulas: +1 for Eric's question: if, as a teacher, I want to learn more about ethics, what would you suggest as a starting point? What are the most important considerations in your view? Or just go to one of the courses? :)
55 | 00:54:14 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Thanks, Anastasia. i will start the panel by addressing this.
56 | 00:55:04 jakemarshall: Iris lol
57 | 00:55:11 jakemarshall: I'm glad we ignored it on the graduate programme
58 | 00:55:24 jakemarshall: Much rather gapminder as at least you can pull out interesting population statistics
59 | 00:55:27 Eric Atwell: “bias in data” - we teach algorithms and methods for machine learning of bias in training data - is this part of “ethics in AI" courses?

66 | 00:58:42 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Anastasia and Eric, for overview on some of the core principles of ethics in data science, you can start here: https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/ethical-research/ethical-research.html. Turing commons is a natural progression from their for deep dive.
67 | 00:59:36 David Tarrant: https://theodi.org/event_series/operationalising-data-ethics-webinar/
68 | 01:01:39 Anastasis Georgoulas: Thank you for the answers, everyone!
69 | 01:01:54 Eric Atwell: We have a 15-credit “Ethics in AI" module as part of our online MSc in AI at Leeds Uni
70 | 01:02:18 David Tarrant: Leeds is one of the organisations that we have had close collaborations with thankfully :)
71 | 01:02:32 jakemarshall: Very interesting David! I wonder if some of us in the Data Science Campus faculty would be interested in going on that programme! Watch this space lol, will discuss with my manager later
72 | 01:02:38 Luisa Cutillo: How would the collaboration happen?
73 | 01:02:41 jakemarshall: We can always afford to get better with ethics, particularly as the educators
74 | 01:02:43 Luisa Cutillo: Is there any call?
75 | 01:03:06 Doschmund: In the Turings common - the link to AI Ethics and Governance - doesnt open anything
76 | 01:03:11 Doschmund: Is the course still in development?
77 | 01:03:33 Christopher Burr (he/him) | Alan Turing Institute: Yes. It should go to a page that states this. I will take a look at the link after the call.
78 | 01:03:45 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: @Doschmund that course is still under development
79 | 01:03:59 Doschmund: thats great, thank you

5 | 00:25:12 Eric Atwell: Why are there no University AI lecturers in the panel? I thoguht we would learn about EDI in university teaching
6 | 00:25:40 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Matt Forshaw is the rep throughout 🙂
7 | 00:26:38 Malvika Sharan (she/her): But we are discussing EDI of diverse lens and what you can take back in your work
8 | 00:27:07 Eric Atwell: I think Office for Students only help UK students - but most of our AI students are International
9 | 00:28:11 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Eric, Nick and I are bring the international aspect
10 | 00:29:31 Malvika Sharan (she/her): bringing*
11 | 00:30:05 Andy MacLachlan: hi Kate, are theses the scholarships you were referring to? How do you apply for a programme to be on the list - https://www.britishcouncil.org/study-work-abroad/in-uk/scholarship-women-stem
12 | 00:30:26 Doschmund: I couldnt catch the name of Nick's Organisation. Could you please add to the chat?
13 | 00:30:31 Matt Forshaw (he/him): Hi Andy; here is the link: https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/skills-and-employment/postgraduate-conversion-courses-in-data-science-and-artificial-intelligence/
14 | 00:30:37 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: Neuromatch
15 | 00:30:39 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): Nick is from Neuromatch
16 | 00:30:47 Eric Atwell: @Kate I meant your studentships are only for UK students, is that right? My AI students are mainly BAME female students from overseas
17 | 00:31:25 Kate Hazeldene, OfS: More inforrmation about the programme and the schoalarships are available on our webpages here- https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/skills-and-employment/postgraduate-conversion-courses-in-data-science-and-artificial-intelligence/
18 | 00:31:34 RYAN CROSBY: I tried typing this in sli do but the question seems to long.
19 | 00:31:46 RYAN CROSBY: It may aslo be a question for the end of the session as Nick may cover it
20 | 00:32:09 RYAN CROSBY: I think this will be a question for Nick – but if anyone else can input that would be great (and sorry it’s a ramble). Do you have any general advice on making assessment more accessible? Do you assess your courses? If so, how do you make those assessments accessible? For example, traditional exams to me aren’t accessible. Even when concessions are made, they don’t seem to be truly accessible. Do you have alternative assessments – I would assume you aren’t constrained by exams / coursework as HE sometimes is?
21 |
22 | The rest of this message is ignorable, just an example –
23 | With exams if we consider Autism – exams could be difficult due to hypo/hyper sensory sensitivity, and I’m unsure how this can be changed to make this aspect of exams accessible. I’m still very new to researching making assessment accessible so sorry if this is a question that is already resolved?
24 | 00:32:57 Kate Hazeldene, OfS: The eligibility criteria and application process are set by the individual providers who are delivering the scholarships and some may allow international students to apply but the priority is for UK students
25 | 00:33:58 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): Ryan, I have added your question to the Slido but made sure it fitted the word count 🙂
26 | 00:34:03 Eric Atwell: @Ryan, do you think MCQs are accessible? eg in Blackboard, a Test cna have 20 questions each with 4 possible answers, studnt must select 1 (or more) correct answer. Is this accessible for autisitc and other students?
27 | 00:34:21 RYAN CROSBY: Thank you Ayesha 0 sorry for the ramble
28 | 00:34:37 Matt Forshaw (he/him): Hi Eric, building on Kate's comments, I can certainly say from a Newcastle project perspective that we've seen very strong uptake in international leaners who are benefitting from the new programmes (which we wouldn't have been able to bring to market without OfS project). At Newcastle (and many providers do similar things) we offer 'pre-sessional' training to learners coming from other backgrounds, and mentorship opportunities with data leaders from industry. We are able to offer those benefits out to learners irrespective of whether they are home or international.
29 | 00:34:41 Eric Atwell: MCQ also has the great advantage of scaling up to big classes, 200+ students
30 | 00:35:48 staalcu: @Matt how do you manage such workload?
31 | 00:37:33 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): Slido can also be anonymous if you don't want to share your name!
32 | 00:38:46 staalcu: I think the default is anonymous
33 | 00:38:51 RYAN CROSBY: @Eric I think it depends on how the questions are structured, and if exams are necessary - I’ve found exams rarely have any benefit to the student and is a better assessor of students memory recall, strategic learning and ability to work under pressure. I am a big believer that assessment should be for learning not 'of learning’. However I am aware that exams are very important to HE institutes and potential employers
34 | 00:39:19 Eric Atwell: Malvika mentioned she put a link. - where? In slido? in hackmd? in zoom chat? (I only have a laptop screen and find it hard to tach several interfaces at once)
35 | 00:39:25 Malvika Sharan (she/her): HackMD
36 | 00:39:36 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Last section has links from all of us.
37 | 00:39:54 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Do ask for any additional links that could be useful.
38 | 00:40:10 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: https://hackmd.io/fQceWS7TSf6B-yQzrYatAw
39 | 00:40:12 Doschmund: @Malvika - how do you elicit participation from the groups you mentioned? What appraoches do you take?
40 | 00:40:41 staalcu: I asked a similar question in the slido
41 | 00:41:19 Matt Forshaw (he/him): Hi @Staalcu, a very good question. Doing this well does have a not insignificant workload impact. We were lucky with the OfS funding which supported that staff time in the first year of the scheme, while we demonstrated the benefits of the activity. We've now been able to build this into our Business as Usual. We've found ways to ensure our pre-sessional training is complementary with the development of blended/online training which we use in other contexts.
42 | 00:43:07 staalcu: @Matt, this sounds ideal! Do you have a good attendance of students and do these classes come with any form of credit or assessment?
43 | 00:43:59 Matt Forshaw (he/him): @staalcu, around 30% of our total Data Science students participate (either to brush up on their skills, or to learn for the first time). We do formative assessment on learners' practice exercise, but it isn't formally credit-bearing.
44 | 00:44:23 Matt Forshaw (he/him): It also runs remotely because many of our learners are unable to obtain visas to come to Newcastle before the start of term for pre-sessionals.
45 | 00:44:38 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Doschmund, this is one of our first reports that highlights how inclusiveness is centered in Open Life Science: https://openlifesci.org/posts/2020/10/01/annual-report-part-1/
46 | 00:46:07 staalcu: @Matt, thanks. Side note: staalcu is Luisa Cutillo by the way :-) It seems like I did not set up my name after all
47 | 00:46:42 Malvika Sharan (she/her): We have documented some practical tips for online calls designed for inclusiveness: Yehudi, Y., Stack Whitney, K., & Sharan, M. (2020, November 24). Enhancing the inclusivity and accessibility of your online calls. https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/k3bfn
48 | 00:48:31 Doschmund: @Nick, are there any specific consideration for Summer schools in terms of wider participations
49 | 00:49:58 Nick Halper: I think one thing that people forget, and this is a current failure point of Neuromatch, is that summer break is not at the same time everywhere in the world.
50 | 00:50:28 Nick Halper: You are inherently exclusionary by being a 'summer school' that only operates on summer break in Northern hemisphere.
51 | 00:50:47 Nancy Ruzycki: I think it is important to build alliances also with lower school teachers who have access to local diverse students. How are pathways made available and accessible to local students? Many times we are bring in international students and not looking to build pathways to local students.
52 | 00:51:10 Nick Halper: Similarly, summer schools are typically full time for several weeks. This is inherently exclusionary to people that can't take time off work or school to attend.
53 | 00:53:41 Doschmund: @Malvika - very inspiring - how do you ensure that those students achieved the learning objectives?
54 | 00:53:43 Nancy Ruzycki: That is an important point, that achieving the certificate is not always the goal for some students
55 | 00:55:14 Malvika Sharan (she/her): 1:1 mentoring allows us to check in with mentors (we conduct mid-cohort survey) and schedule a graduation as a final presentation to allow students to reflect on their learning and how that has been for them.
56 | 00:57:53 RYAN CROSBY: THe longer message was just a ramble from me :)
57 | 00:59:15 Nancy Ruzycki: Do you have an office of disability in the UK universities that has the policies for testing and assessment of students with different needs? In the US, they handle the assessment process for students for extra time, space and accommodation for university class assessments.
58 | 01:01:41 RYAN CROSBY: That sounds very interesting Malvika. My PhD was on Ipsative assessment which reminds me of that. It focused more on the students learning gain rather than the final summative assessment. One of the conclusions I came to was that it would be very difficult to do that in current HE, but I try to focus on that in practicals / formative work.
59 | 01:01:43 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Ryan your point is absolutely valid: “However I am aware that exams are very important to HE institutes and potential employers”.
60 | 01:02:05 Eric Atwell: If I have a class of 200 students, how can I talk to talk and listen to individual students??
61 | 01:02:11 Malvika Sharan (she/her): I suppose that final exam's success depends on the formative development during the teaching.
62 | 01:03:10 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Eric: Written ways to 'listen' is how you can assess everyone's engagement and understanding. Group activities are very useful to manage larger classroom.
63 | 01:03:34 Eric Atwell: @Kate, do you mean “welfare officers” are needed as separate from “lecturers”? Should Uni hire more welfare officers and fewer lecturers?
64 | 01:03:42 RYAN CROSBY: @eric - I think thats a discussion around class sizes vs teaching staff. It's alot eaiser to do in modules with 15-30 students. I've taught both types of classes. I found student reflections / peer talks / talking to demonstrators help in the larger classes
65 | 01:03:48 Matt Forshaw (he/him): Thank you so much everyone for joining, and to all of the panelists. I've learned a lot, and it's been great seeing such a lively discussion in the chat. I'm afraid I must dash to my next call, but wish you all the very best for the rest of your weeks. :)
66 | 01:03:58 Nick Halper: If you haven't looked at 'Ungrading' in terms of assessment. It is a growing movement that accomodates many different backgrounds.
67 | 01:04:10 staalcu: I think this is part of the support in place for students around the lectures. We could direct them to the right reference people so that the mechanisms we have in place can start
68 | 01:04:23 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): @Nick - do you have any useful links on this? Sounds really interesting
69 | 01:04:25 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Very interesting Nick, I did not know about it.
70 | 01:04:50 Malvika Sharan (she/her): https://reflect.ucl.ac.uk/mcarena/2021/05/26/ungrading/
71 | 01:05:03 staalcu: will; this chat be saved?
72 | 01:05:18 Nick Halper: Ungrading: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11O8xqsc_e1Txm-NC_1DAEvLdcFrH3dvzqZZXVORVDmQ/edit
73 | 01:05:22 Nancy Ruzycki: Yes I agree, that the DSO is limited in what they provide. It is a law in the US, but not sure elsewhere
74 | 01:05:24 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): Yes it will 🙂
75 | 01:05:38 staalcu: thanks!
76 | 01:06:37 Nancy Ruzycki: Thanks @nick for the link
77 | 01:07:59 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Thanks Ayesha.
78 | 01:08:05 Eric Atwell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungrading BUT ... University educators MUST deliver a grade for every student in a module
79 | 01:08:09 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Sorry to put you on spot. <3
80 | 01:08:35 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): ❤️ no thank you for including me!
81 | 01:08:50 Kate Hazeldene, OfS: @Eric- I think that academic lecturers and student support staff need to be working together to support students from widening participation backgrounds. At the OfS we encourage a whole provider approach to supporting access and participation so it is not a case as more or less of one or the other but how all services collanorate and work together to achieve widening and pariticpation aims
82 | 01:08:55 Nick Halper: You still get/give a grade, but the formation of that grade is different and customized to the students' participation.
83 | 01:08:56 Eric Atwell: A lot of dscussion - cna you please summarise the main leasons I can take away for today? eg a list of URLs posted to chat!
84 | 01:09:26 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: Yes Eric we will do that!
85 | 01:09:38 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): @Eric, I will update the HackMD with everything from today and share this on the GitHub repo
86 | 01:09:44 Amy Gallimore (she/her) The Alan Turing Institute: If you want to find out more about EDI at Turing check out https://www.turing.ac.uk/about-us/equality-diversity-and-inclusion

90 | 01:10:17 Eric Atwell: sorry I dont understand what is “github repo”
91 | 01:10:54 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): @Eric - I'm wary of time so I will send you an email to discuss this 🙂
92 | 01:11:28 Eric Atwell: I dont want to reinvent the wheel BUT how do I choose the best wheel for me? There is a LOT of info out there, I need an AI to advise what to choose
93 | 01:12:47 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Thank you all!
94 | 01:12:47 staalcu: Thanks a lot!!!
95 | 01:12:48 RYAN CROSBY: Thank you for a very insightful discussion

16 | 00:29:43 Luisa Cutillo: @graham, lot of work and very exciting.
17 | 00:32:38 Doschmund: @Graham- when you are teaching non cognates, where do you start? What works well?
18 | 00:34:28 Valentina Andries: @Luisa: are you using programming activities as part of teaching AI to children? do you address ethics of AI?
19 | 00:37:55 Eric Atwell: @Carrie Anne, I could not find the Data Science unit, at teachcomputing.org/curriculum ... can you share exact URL for this specifc page?
20 | 00:38:23 Carrie Anne Philbin: https://teachcomputing.org/curriculum/key-stage-3/data-science
21 | 00:38:38 Doschmund: Thanks Graham. I never thought of it as learning a langugage. thats a great analogy
22 | 00:39:10 Mervat Abuelkheir: What about mapping some AI concepts such as logic and KB to levels prior to university? What could be possible challenges and what could be a good start? Would introducing robotics with some basic intelligence tasks help clarify logic, KB, and reasoning later?
23 | 00:40:54 Ruby Chang: Thanks Graham, a fresh view of the R/Python language.
24 | 00:41:40 Valentina Andries: @Carrie- regarding the data science unit: what are the teachers' level of confidence teaching such concepts? Do they need any training? How easily can such units be integrated as part of their regular teaching practices?
25 | 00:43:34 Eric Atwell: @Mervat, I think this course does not cover AI concepts such as logic, KB, knowledge representation and reasoning, robotics, natural language processing, computer vision, deep learning, social media analytics etc ... the course is only about teaching programming for data analysis to small classes (less than 100)
26 | 00:44:20 Mervat Abuelkheir: @Eric, got it, and thank you Eric :)
27 | 00:45:02 Eric Atwell: @Mervat, maybe Turing should LATER host another ocurse on AI Educaiton, coviering teaching of these other areas of AI
28 | 00:46:49 Mervat Abuelkheir: @Eric, would be good, as I've seen initiatives to teach prep and high school students elements of logic embedded in robotics programming in summer camps and I was not sure if these can be too advanced concepts
29 | 00:49:12 Doschmund: For teachers in the group, is there a difference in method of teaching and content in terms of teaching different generations, as there are differences technology adoptions between last decade and this one for example?
30 | 00:54:41 Eric Atwell: @Doschmund, I guess fundamental concepts stay, eg CRISP-DM methodology, statistical concepts eg accuracy precsion and recall etc…. changes in technology are peripheral ... https://www.datascience-pm.com/crisp-dm-2/ https://medium.com/@erika.dauria/accuracy-recall-precision-80a5b6cbd28d
31 | 00:57:21 Eric Atwell: Do your data science courses include a practical Project? If so, do you use a Project textbook? If so, which Project textbook do you recommend? I am considering this one - is it any good? https://www.datascience-pm.com/crisp-dm-2/
32 | 00:59:15 Eric Atwell: Sorry wrong URL I menat to ask is this a good textbook for AI+DS Projects? Projects in Computing and Information Systems: a students guide https://www.pearson.com/uk/educators/higher-education-educators/program/Dawson-Projects-in-Computing-and-Information-Systems-3rd-edn-A-Student-s-Guide-3rd-Edition/PGM1069173.html
33 | 01:02:57 Doschmund: In teaching Project Management, there are 2 things very important. 1. Lifecycle of an AI Project 2. how do you deliver it (i.e a project management methodology)
34 | 01:04:05 Doschmund: https://www.datascience-pm.com/ - provides an overview of both
35 | 01:05:09 Doschmund: If you are interested in knowing bit more, happy to chat to you. Thats one of my expert area 🙂
36 | 01:05:52 Doschmund: Also worth considering how to incorporate ethical considerations as part of the lifecycle
37 | 01:06:21 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): https://hackmd.io/ohIMf55ZS_eeThplfd-ERg?both
38 | 01:06:50 Carrie Anne Philbin: Thank you for inviting me.
39 | 01:07:04 Eric Daub: It was a pleasure to speak to everyone today!
40 | 01:07:35 Luisa Cutillo: and the chat too? :-)
41 | 01:07:53 Ruby Chang: Learned a lot of new ideas and will pilot them soon!
42 | 01:07:57 Kwong Cheong WONG: Thank you
43 | 01:07:58 MARIA NAVAS LORO: thank you, bye!
44 | 01:08:01 Martin Goodfellow: Thanks all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | 00:15:27 Arron Lacey: my talk title has been updated to :Creating and Effective and Enjoyable Learning Experience
2 | 00:15:54 Doschmund: What are you all discussing in the chat? No idea
3 | 00:16:47 Eric Atwell: sorry I was waiting in the lobby ... what have I missed so far?
4 | 00:16:56 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: Hi Doschmund, we had a roll call questions on 'What is your highlight from the programme so far?’
5 | 00:17:03 MARIA NAVAS LORO: @Doschmund the highlights of the course for each of us
6 | 00:17:16 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: @Eric - nothing major, just the usual housekeeping 😄
7 | 00:17:23 Doschmund: Oh I see, I didn't hear that part 🙂
8 | 00:20:57 Eric Atwell: “learning through dialogue” - how does this scale to classes of 200+ students?
9 | 00:22:14 Luisa Cutillo: @eric often my students freeze when I ask questions unfortunately, unless they are about 40 it does not work much for me
10 | 00:25:31 David Perez-Suarez | UCL: There was a session I attended at a mozfest a few years ago where they taught programming through dancing! It was awesome!!
11 | 00:25:52 Adnane Ez-zizi: Storytelling seems like a powerful tool - can you please give some ideas about how to find the stories to use in the context of AI and data science?
12 | 00:26:05 Arron Lacey: did they use for loops instead of hula hoops?
13 | 00:26:22 Eric Atwell: @Helen I notice your ppt style is different from most AI presentations, you have pictures but very little information (text and tsbles and figures) - why did you choose this style? Do you prefer "podcasts”with audio only, so students do not need to stay glued to the screen?
14 | 00:27:09 David Perez-Suarez | UCL: In the choreography, repeatingt the steps, that were the for loops. Hula hoops could be used too!
15 | 00:27:21 Eric Atwell: Please put the link in the chat
16 | 00:27:24 Andrew Moles: This was great! We use a very question heavy form of training too 🙂
17 | 00:27:45 Anastasis Georgoulas: Do we have the hackmd link for this week? (to look at the links mentioned!)
18 | 00:30:17 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: HackMD link: we will be adding links as we share them here and will extract them from the presentations after this call 🙂 https://hackmd.io/P8F8b33rSpKUgAlwkGALmQ?both
19 | 00:34:48 jakemarshall: Also good to stay away from func, func2, func_final etc!
20 | 00:35:49 Andrew Moles: Totally agree about adding in fun examples!
21 | 00:35:50 Doschmund: Is there a reason behind complete black screen with white letters?
22 | 00:38:03 Eric Atwell: Many students have limited time, and choose not to do formative exercises (action), as a waste of their time - they only do practical exercises if there are marks (summative) ... how do we solve this?
23 | 00:40:50 Adnane Ez-zizi: @Arron what tool are you using to make your slides?
24 | 00:41:06 Kieran Baker: Was just about to ask that!
25 | 00:41:51 Adnane Ez-zizi: ;-)
26 | 00:42:10 jakemarshall: Omg I love that picture, real world data is such a different beast
27 | 00:42:12 Eric Atwell: MWE = Multi Word Expression. (in natural language processing0
28 | 00:42:16 Andrew Moles: I'd guess https://github.com/yihui/xaringan or https://quarto.org/ but excited to find out!
29 | 00:42:52 jakemarshall: Kaggle is awesome for codealongs! We recently used it in our data science festival at the ONS 😄
30 | 00:48:28 Mishka Nemes (she/her) | Alan Turing Institute: Please keep the questions coming! 😄
31 | 00:49:26 Arron Lacey: @eric on assignment i like to drop, for 25% of the marks “discuss the theory behind back propagation" - that usually helps!
32 | 00:55:30 Helen Clare (Jisc, UK): David and I didn't plan this!
33 | 00:57:23 Adnane Ez-zizi: Question for both @Helen and @David: Storytelling is clearly a powerful tool, but how to create and find your stories to use in the class?
34 | 01:00:18 Helen Clare (Jisc, UK): This guide can help with building stories (not the ideas part!) https://www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/vision-and-strategy-toolkit/narrative-thinking-and-communication
35 | 01:05:50 Adnane Ez-zizi: Thanks @Helen - looks great
36 | 01:07:49 Malvika Sharan (she/her): We will curate the questions and add on Slack where the speakers can respond.

1 | 00:18:20 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Aww. I am sorry Luisa. Thank you for joining. I hope you feel better soon.
2 | 00:18:25 Maarya Sharif: Edinburgh, Scotland only 16°C
3 | 00:18:45 Ayesha Dunk (she/her): Yes - feel better soon Luisa!
4 | 00:18:54 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Maarya, It’s similar in London right now.
5 | 00:19:09 Andrew Csizmadia: 17°C with a grey cloud cover here in North Wales.
6 | 00:19:19 Riddhima Kedia: lovely 19C here in Southampton
7 | 00:20:34 Nancy Ruzycki: oh, you are not too hot! that is so nice.
8 | 00:28:43 Nancy Ruzycki: Are simple models sufficient? Would you want them to have more complex model experience with more parameters or are simple models sufficient to show competency?
9 | 00:28:51 Maryleen: Data study groups are amazing!
10 | 00:29:43 jakemarshall: So there is no opportunity for those at 'entry level' then? Those who have just left masters for example will have only done projects in the academic sense, so I imagine it's hard for them to find that hands on experience when they can't get jobs because of a lack of it, if that makes sense?
11 | 00:29:51 Eric Atwell: Q: when you ask “have they built a neural net” - do you mean “have they implemented a NN algortihm in Python" or do you mean “have they used a state-of-the-art NN python tool, eg AraBERT, to slove a practical task?"
12 | 00:31:36 Matt Forshaw (he/him): Thank you so much for your questions. Please keep them coming in and i'll make sure we get to each of them during the session. 🙂
13 | 00:32:30 Eric Atwell: We teach Computing and AI Degree Apprentices at Leeds (Accenture apprentices!), they use existing NN tools and resources (eg in COLAB), is this not relevant to industry?
14 | 00:33:26 Maryleen: Q: What are your thoughts on degree apprenticeships as an initiative to bridge the gap between academia and industry, what are the challenges and opportunities?
15 | 00:33:57 Maryleen: +1 Eric
16 | 00:35:02 jakemarshall: Yes that self awareness of failure as well is really important in a well rounded Data Scientist 😄
17 | 00:35:13 Luisa Cutillo: Q: any suggestion on how to approach industry and involve them for hands on experiences with our master students?
18 | 00:35:35 jakemarshall: Yeah absolutely 😛 I wanted to check that those kinds of examples would also be relevant as well, rather than just direct hands on experience! Thanks so much 😄
19 | 00:37:44 Nancy Ruzycki: Yes access to large computing resources like GPT3 or a super computer is difficult for many students in terms of projects even at well resourced universities. There is not equitable access to computing resources which could exclude students from careers.
20 | 00:38:38 RYAN CROSBY: My query would be how does that work with widening participation / edi. Should we in HE not be putting these practical experiences in the course?
21 | 00:38:55 Eric Atwell: Surely ALL AI and Data Science graduates (BSc and MSc) HAVE done practical implementation projects?? This is a requirement for BCS accreditation of our computing degrees at Leeds Uni. Does Industry value BCS accreditation?
22 | 00:38:56 RYAN CROSBY: What about students who dont have time / ability to do extra outside of the course that they're doing?
23 | 00:39:11 Doschmund: There seems to be more focus on PhDs, Wouldn't that exclude large proportion of capable students at Masters level
24 | 00:42:25 Malvika Sharan (she/her): Very good point Doschmund.
25 | 00:42:29 Eric Atwell: @Richard - do you mean you bring together AI/DS practitioners with “users”/“clients” who dont have AI/DS expertise? Do all your projects involve non-AI/DS partners?
26 | 00:45:22 Maryleen: Very relatable, Richard. I was a 2020 DSG facilitator. It was a very valuable experience for my career.
27 | 00:46:01 Matt Forshaw (he/him): @Maryleen, that's wonderful to hear. I think our paths crossed during the 2020 DSG.
28 | 00:46:46 Maryleen: Thanks, Matt
29 | 00:47:23 Richard Plant: Thanks Maryleen, I'm very happy it was a good experience for you!
30 | 00:48:02 Luisa Cutillo: @graham do you struggle with different students knowledge background?
31 | 00:49:43 Nancy Ruzycki: Would this have to do with the fact many faculty have had little industry experience or experience with industry problems?
32 | 00:50:11 Salomey Afua Addo: Nancy I think so.
33 | 01:03:17 Eric Atwell: Accenture is a big company. Does anyone else have experience of link to a small specialist company, eg SketchEngine is a market leader in text analytics and has long-term collaboration with Leeds and other UK universities in corpus linguistics and text analytics
34 | 01:04:36 Doschmund: @Darren, it is very good to hear that there is focus on inclusivity from Accenture.
35 | 01:06:08 Doschmund: People who work within Industry myself included are well aware of the difficulties in recruiting and retaining skills. There is a significant budget allocated to skill development retention.
36 | 01:06:09 Darren Seymour-Russell: Thank you. It's hard to say this without sounding cliched. But inclusivity and social mobility and hugely important for the company and we work hard to break down barriers - at all levels
37 | 01:06:10 RYAN CROSBY: Thank you for your answers - I know it was a loaded / difficult question
38 | 01:06:17 Matt Forshaw (he/him): https://groupgti.com/ai-scholarships
39 | 01:06:28 Nancy Ruzycki: We work with Citrine in our department to create projects for AI in Materials
40 | 01:07:19 Richard Plant: In terms of projects of varying scale, it might be worth taking a look at the Turing Internship Network: https://www.turing.ac.uk/collaborate-turing/internships
41 | 01:07:23 Kieran Baker: really interesting session, thanks!
42 | 01:07:24 Nancy Ruzycki: thanks
43 | 01:07:24 Kwong-Cheong Wong: Thank you
44 | 01:07:26 Noorhan: Thank you very much

12 | # Identifying Learner Needs
13 | Designing effective learning products begins with a deep understanding of your learners. Every educator's objective is to prepare the best learning material ahead of any lesson. Whether you are developing a course, demonstrating software, or providing training, your aim is to use the best ideas, communication strategies, and learning outcomes. However, what is considered the "best" can vary according to the context and audience. This chapter compiles the experiences of educators from diverse fields, especially those involved in Data Science and Education study groups, to guide you in creating learning personas and designing educational content tailored to your learners' needs.

35 | ## Designing your learning products
36 | Among the possible ways of starting your teaching material design, a great consensus in the educators' cohorts is to focus on your user experience (UX), using the so called UX principles. In the following we identify and describe 5 UX principles that can be pitched for your particular kind of users: the 'learners'.
37 | ### Start with research
38 | In designing effective educational content, begin by conducting thorough research early on to aid your overall preparation. First step could be to form a clear picture of the topics your delivery will cover, making sure to touch on all the relevant problems and questions related to it (**Key Topics Identification**). Which are the relevant questions you should address? A way to find out is to research such questions and also brainstorm with your team (**Relevant Questions**). If you do not have one, you could share a document with colleagues or experts in the field for feedback and discussion (**Feedback and Discussion**). It is also very important to clarify from the beginning how you would measure the success of your product (**Success Metics**). After this phase, you could start specifying goals and objectives, problems and solutions, timeline, delivery modalities, measures of success, in a specification document.
39 | 
40 |
41 | ### Show and Tell
42 | A natural further step is to show your drafted plan to a selected expert audience (ideally your team). This will allow quick feedback to inform interatively a revision of your delivery plan as well as objectives and principles. You could reiterate this process, maybe involving a different audience, till you are happy with the overall result and consensus. The final product could be your prototype that you could test on a small set of users. Feedback from the users will be essential to refine your delivery project. You will be finally ready for delivery to your learner audience.
43 |
44 | ### Empathy
45 |
46 | One essential element of designing learning material is to do it with empathy for your users. This literally means being able to understand the learner perspectives, challenges and struggles. When designing you should be aware of learners' struggles and challenges. A good way to collect this information and embed empathy in you project could be to consult your potential audience (when possible), surveying their backgrounds, challenges and expectations. This will help you design material that addresses the learners' specific needs and fits well into their learning context.

51 | ### Never assume, deconstruct bias
52 | When creating learning resources, it is important to be aware of biases and assumptions. Biases can unconsciously impact how you come up with new ideas, and therefore affect how you design and build the resources. Deconstructing biases means re-examining the knowledge and beliefs we all have, be open to feedback and developing new ways of thinking to guide the work moving forward. For instance, you can ask yourself:
53 | - Which parts of my thinking show bias or lack verification?
54 | - What other perspectives or data am I leaving out of my analysis?
55 | - If I step into someone else's shoes, how might they view this design differently?
56 | - What unconscious stereotypes or generalizations could I be making that need to be confronted?
57 |
58 | Questioning preconceived notions and presumptions is a crucial principle that every user experience (UX) designer must adopt. Designers should strive to eliminate their existing biases and assumptions by embracing diverse perspectives, challenging their thought processes, and developing a deep understanding of their target users.
59 |
60 |
61 | ### Include everyone, consider accessibility (eg. neurodiversity)
62 | Considering accessibility from the outset of the learning resources design process is crucial. Accessible design entails creating a solution that is inclusive and usable for a diverse range of learners, including those with disabilities. By prioritising accessibility early on, educators can ensure that the final learning resources cater to the needs and abilities of a broader audience, fostering an environment of inclusivity and equal opportunities.
63 |
64 | Some key factors to be considered:
65 | - **Multimodal Content Presentation:** Provide content in multiple formats such as text, audio, video, and interactive elements. This accommodates different learning styles and preferences, as well as learners with disabilities (e.g., visual impairments, hearing impairments).
66 | - **Clear and Simple Language:** Use plain language that is easy to understand, avoiding complex jargon or technical terms unless they are properly explained. This helps learners with cognitive or language barriers.
67 | - **Adjustable Font Size and Colour Contrast:** Allow users to adjust font sizes and ensure sufficient colour contrast between text and background. This improves readability for learners with visual impairments or specific visual needs.
68 | - **Captioning and Transcripts:** Provide captions for audio and video content, as well as transcripts for audio materials. This accommodates learners with hearing impairments or those who prefer reading over listening.
69 | - **Keyboard and Assistive Technology Compatibility:** Ensure that all interactive elements, such as navigation menus, buttons, and forms, are fully accessible through keyboard input and compatible with assistive technologies like screen readers.
70 | - **Logical and Consistent Structure:** Organize content in a logical and consistent manner, using clear headings, subheadings, and navigation cues. This helps learners with cognitive or attention-related disabilities follow the material more easily.
71 | - **Culturally Responsive and Inclusive Content:** Represent diverse cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives in the learning materials, avoiding stereotypes or biases. This promotes inclusivity and makes learners from different backgrounds feel valued and represented.
72 | - **Customisable and Flexible Delivery:** Offer options for learners to customise the learning experience according to their needs and preferences, such as adjusting the pace, sequence, or format of the content.
73 | - **Accessible Assessment and Feedback:** Design assessments and provide feedback in an accessible manner, considering the diverse needs of learners and offering alternative formats or accommodations as necessary.
74 |
75 | By incorporating these factors, learning resources can become more inclusive and accessible to a wide range of learners, regardless of their abilities, backgrounds, or learning preferences.
76 |
77 | ## Learning Personas
78 | A learning persona is a detailed and data-driven representation of a specific part of your target audience for educational content. It is based on real data and insights about your learners' attributes such as demographics, behaviours, goals, challenges, and preferences. The identification of learning personas is essential to help educators create more targeted, effective, and engaging learning experiences by understanding and addressing the unique needs of different learner groups.
79 |
80 | ### Group Activities to Identify Learner Needs
81 | Educators can use various group activities to collaboratively identify and define learning personas. These activities help gather insights about different learner segments, ensuring that the educational content is tailored to meet diverse needs. Examples include brainstorming sessions, focus groups, interactive polls and quizzes, and feedback circles. Some of these activities like live polls and quizzes can be conducted with a wide audience and anonimously. On the other hand, in order to facilitate sharing, the activities that involve learners more personally will have best results if conducted with smaller groups. This will facilitate sharing and empathy. Before staing any of these activities it is essential to set ground rules to establish guidelines and to ensure respectful and constructive behaviour. In the following, we describe a few group activities useful for the identification of learning personas within your target audience.
82 |
83 | #### Learner Surveys
84 | This activity has the objective of collecting quantitative data on learner demographics, preferences, and challenges that will be useful to make necessary changes in your teaching material and practice. You could create a mix of question types to gather comprehensive data focussing on about learning habits, preferences, goals, and obstacles. For example you can use multiple-choice, Likert scale, open-ended or ranking questions to capture different aspects of the learners' experiences. The analysis of the responses should aim to identify patterns, trends, key insights and learner groups.
85 |
86 | #### Feedback Circles
87 | This activity has the objective to create a safe and supportive environment where your audience can share constructive feedback. Ideal group size is between 6 and 12 participants. You could start with an icebreaker to build rapport and to create a comfortable atmosphere. Each person shares their thoughts about specific aspects of their learning experience they want to discuss, such as teaching methods, classroom environment, materials used, or any particular challenges they face. The rest of the group will provide feedback and this will be followed by a brief discussion to reiterate suggestions and agree on possible solutions. This process can be continued until each learner has had the opportunity to share and receive feedback.
88 |
89 | #### Brainstorming Sessions
90 | A brainstorming session has similar goals to the feedback circles, but it is less structured. This can involve an entire class or smaller selected representative groups. It is important to emphasize the importance of being open and to not criticise ideas during brainstorming, but to reflect contrusctively and to build on others’ ideas. Ideally, you can start the activity with an icebreaker and define a focus area. For example, you could clearly state the focus question: "What are the biggest challenges you face in your learning?" then give students a few minutes to write down as many ideas as they can think of individually. Ideas can be then shared freely and you could map them on a whiteboard, large paper or electronic dashboard such as Miro. You could close your session by summarizing and defining an action plan.
91 |
92 | ## Competency Profiles and Professional Standards
93 | ### What is a competency?
94 | To effectively identify learners' needs, educators should have access to and utilize specific competency profiles and professional standards relevant to their field of instruction. A competency is a combination of skills, knowledge, and behaviors/attitudes that an individual must have to perform a specific job or task effectively. It encompasses not only technical abilities and expertise but also personal attributes such as problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and adaptability. Competencies are often used in educational contexts to assess and develop individuals' abilities to meet specific standards or achieve particular goals.
95 | Here is an example of knowledge, skills, and behavior in the context of teaching data science in higher education:
96 | - **Knowledge**: Understanding advanced data science concepts and methodologies.
97 | - Example: A data science educator has in-depth knowledge of machine learning algorithms, statistical analysis, and data visualization techniques, which they use to inform their curriculum and lectures.
98 | - **Skills**: The ability to effectively teach and apply data science techniques.
99 | - Example: The educator skilfully designs and conducts hands-on projects and coding labs, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world datasets using programming languages like Python and tools like Jupyter Notebooks.
100 | - **Behaviour/Attitude**: Demonstrating professional and ethical behaviour in an educational setting.
101 | - Example: The educator shows a commitment to academic integrity by promoting ethical data usage, encouraging collaboration over competition, and providing constructive feedback to support student development.
102 |
103 | ### Key aspects of the competency-based approach
104 | A competency-based approach for educators focuses on ensuring that both teaching and learning are centered around clearly defined competencies—specific skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students need to master. This approach emphasizes the outcomes of the learning process rather than the traditional time-based methods.
