Call for Papers and Reviewers now open for the #ASCILITE2024 Conference

Call for Papers and Reviewers now open for the #ASCILITE2024 Conference

This is a reminder that the call for papers for the 2024 ASCILITE conference is now open and details are provided on the conference website.

Hosted by The University of Melbourne 1-4th December, this year’s conference theme is Navigating the Terrain: Emerging Frontiers in Learning Spaces, Pedagogies, and Technologies.

Call for Reviewers

The 2024 Conference Organising Committee are inviting a large number of volunteers for the important work of reviewing conference submissions. The intellectual strength of ASCILITE conferences derives in part from the rigour of our peer review process and each submission will be double-blind peer reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers and proceedings published in ASCILITE Publications (APUBS). If you are interested in participating, you will find further details on the conference website here.

Keywords: Mathematics instruction, higher education, adaptive learning environments, trendsetter

Abstract

The project “Enhancing Mathematical Proficiency through Digitally Individualized Pedagogy” seeks to extend the field of mathematics instruction by presenting research centred around using digitally enhanced individualised pedagogical strategies. At the heart of this research is the understanding that learners exhibit diverse needs, learning styles, and pace of understanding, particularly in mathematics. This project proposes a tailored approach to mathematics education, using digital tools to create a personalised learning environment for each student.

#SoTEL.NZ Virtual Symposium 2024 + Abstracts

The 2024 SoTEL Symposium was held as a Virtual networking and showcase event 19th April. Abstracts are published in PJTEL https://ojs.aut.ac.nz/pjtel/issue/view/11 and Pecha Kucha presentations were presented in Mozilla HUBS and also linked  in PJTEL. Sadly this will be the last of Mozilla HUBS as it shuts down 31 May 2024 – so we will explore other virtual social network spaces for 2025!

Starting Friday 26th April we will have a weekly series of 6 Trendsetter presentations https://sotel.nz/?page_id=2231

Demonstration of how ChatGPT handles a common assessment task​

Example: A 3-part written self-reflection assignment of a 12-week engineering project, simply copy and pasted into ChatGPT3.5 with no additional ‘prompt engineering’ – results: https://go.unimelb.edu.au/34e8  

While the resulting ChatGPT generated ‘self-reflections’ are relatively generic in nature it would not take much tweaking to make these results believable as a self-reflection from a student on a semester group project experience!
