CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Australian #LearningAnalytics Summer Institute 2024 (#ALASI24) conference to be held at Deakin University in Melbourne (28th & 29th November 2024). This event is supported by @ascilite & @SoLAResearch. Further details are available at: blogs.deakin.edu.au/alasi24/

How much thought do you give to writing an abstract? Do you hurriedly throw one together when submitting your work? Check out this new #AJET editorial on why it's worth taking time to consider what should and shouldn't be in your next abstract to enhance the impact of your work.

The @ascilite #LearningAnalytics SIG webinar this week is on "The role of motivation in student-facing learning analytics" by Prof @stephteasley - University of Michigan. 22nd August 2024 @ 9am (AEST). Register: bit.ly/LASIG_Motivation3 @SoLAResearch #Motivation #dashboards

Attending the @ASCILITE #LearningAnalytics SIG webinar on the relationship between motivation & behaviour change by @GarivaldisFilia @kavya__r & Hazel Jones. Great discussion on what aspects of motivation we can capture through data to inform learning interventions.

When I recently heard the term "AI Native" used to refer to young people & their relationship with #AI, it made me angry😠To channel my frustration I wrote a blog post explaining why we shouldn't apply problematic labels to groups of learners based on age. bit.ly/DigitalNativesDejaVu

This is the stuff of my worst nightmare 😱 medium.com/@csantos/ai-nativ…. 10 years on from my PhD research, which strongly recommended we move beyond the unhelpful #DigitalNatives label, it's happening again 😫

An email just arrived advertising a data science conference in Europe later this year. I checked it out with interest, only to find a complete lack of gender diversity among all keynote speakers & conference chairs. Disappointing to see this still happening in academia 😕

Very happy to receive this email from #Officeworks today. As someone who is not a mother, not necessarily by choice, the chance to reduce the persistent Mother's Day marketing is most welcome. It's not that I don't value Mother's Day (& my Mum!), but happy for some slight relief.

I created an MS Form for faculty educators to share how they're using #AI in their teaching. After setting up Qs on what, why, & how (w/ no ref to academic integrity issues), Microsoft made the follow Q suggestion. Seems AI's assumption about AI is use for nefarious purposes 😆

Very sad that I will miss attending an international conference I've always wanted to attend due to a misinterpreted April Fool's joke (due to time zone differences) 😟 Guess I'm the fool 😔

Join us tomorrow (27th March 2024) at 2pm (AEDT) for the first webinar in the new @ascilite #LearningAnalytics Special Interest Group series on "Leveraging learning analytics for insights into motivation". You can register for this event here: bit.ly/ASCILITELASIGMotivati…

Enjoying keeping up with all the #LAK24 goings on from afar. Can't be there this year, but looking forward to catching up with everyone @ #ALASI24 in Melbourne on 28th & 29th November. Details of the call for proposals will be available on the @SoLAResearch website very soon!

There's still time to register for #DesignLAK24 at the @lakconference in Kyoto, Japan in March. The theme of this year's workshop is: Operationalising the Learning Design and Learning Analytics Connection. More details at: sites.google.com/view/design…

A very timely special issue of AJET! Please consider making a submission if you have interesting and innovative work to share in this space.

Come join this great team!

It's the end of the #ASCILITE23 conference, which has been great, & next year will be held in Melbourne at @UniMelb. Even better news is it will be co-located with #ALASI24 at @Deakin. Save the date: 28th & 29th November 2024. Call for proposals will go out early in the new year.

Very important conversation around prior knowledge as a limiting factor in critical skills development, especially in the current context @colinjevons & Elli Allen from @MonashUni #ASCILITE23

A very interesting conversation on common reviewing practices was had in @ajet_eds session on The Art of Constructive Critique: Writing Effective Reviews Of EdTech Research, highlighting the need for more PD on how to provide constructive and developmental reviews. #ASCILITE23
