Title : Linking Digital Experience to the Science of Learning through Analytics

Abstract :
A learner’s digital experience in higher education today can create and utilize big data at all levels spanning from the processes of recruitment to the graduation of globally enabled work-ready leaders. Central to these processes, learning and teaching is rapidly being transformed through innovative use of complex multidisciplinary analytics. The Insight Centre for Learning Analytics at Curtin University is exploring, creating and harnessing innovative curriculum and assessment methods that link learning experiences to the science of learning. This address will share theory, approaches and findings from this frontier of research and development.

Speaker’s Biography:

Associate Professor David Gibson holds an Ed.D. in Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Vermont. Gibson’s experience in education research and development began in earnest in two ways, one personal and the other public. At the personal level, as a musician (piano, B.Mus. in Composition in 1973) he began to study the psychoacoustics of sound, following the sound wave to the ear drum, then the brain, and back out via interpretation and aesthetic experience. He scored films and musical theater in Los Angeles in the mid-seventies (one of his music scores was nominated for an Academy Award in 1973 for a short film), while reading philosophy, probability and group theory in mathematics, and literature on emerging digital media culture. This personal journey continues to this day, and now connects to readings in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and learning theory. The public journey began by working with three Governors of Vermont to create and sustain a transformative new entity for Science, Technology Engineering, and Mathematics; to a research professorship at the University of Vermont, followed by an appointment at Arizona State University and then Curtin University.

Title: Developing Mobile Literacy

Abstract :
Mobile literacy is rapidly becoming the key digital literacy for learning, working and living in the 21st century. It is a macroliteracy, composed of other more particularised literacies. They include long-established literacies like information and multimodal literacy, which are taking on greater prominence thanks to mobile devices. Theyinclude newer literacies like network and code literacy, which are coming into their own in the contemporary era. They include literacies which are just beginning to emerge, such as data literacy. Interwoven with all of these literacies, there must also be a strong element of critical mobile literacy. Mobile learning opens up the possibilities for active, collaborative, situated learning at all levels of education. At the same time, it opens up both the need and the opportunity to help students acquire the mobile literacy skills which are essential not only to supporting their learning, but to supporting their working and personal lives in an ever more mobile world.

Title: Gamification for Education

Abstract :
How to keep our students engaged and motivated to the class, is a crucial question for all instructors. Gamification is very useful in raising students’ motivation toward learning. Prof. Yeh started working on gamification for his on-campus courses since 2010. He has developed numerous games and tools for his courses with great success. Due to his great design in gamification for education, Prof. Yeh and his team were awarded the Overall Award of the Wharton-QS “Reimagine Education” among 427 teams from 43 countries. It is one of the most prestigious award for innovations in higher education. In this talk, Prof. Yeh will provide case studies of his various course designs with in-depth details. Similar approaches can be generalized to other courses to make students more engaged and motivated toward learning.

Speaker’s Biography :
Prof. Ping-Cheng (Benson) Yeh is a world’s leading innovator in teaching with numerous pioneering achievements: He is the first to win the Overall Award and E-Learning Award in Wharton-QS 2014 Stars Awards: Reimagine Education, the “Oscars” of innovations in higher education, the first to design a MOOC-based multi-student social game, the first to design a serious online game for any general courses, the first to make MOOC in Chinese with 50,000+ students, the first to design experiential learning schemes with college students graded by 12-year old kids on presentation skills and set a record of 2,236 teachers attending his speech of flipped teaching. Since 2010, Prof. Yeh has been a strong advocator of his teaching philosophy: “by the students, for the students, of the students". It states that students can be motivated to learn if the teachers can share more responsibility with the students, for instance, let students design their own homework problems. Prof. Yeh’s speeches have motivated many teachers in different countries to start thinking differently in teaching.
