Description:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used within the education sector to address prevailing challenges such as lack and/or deficiency of human resources in supporting excellent student experience and outcomes. To this end AI applications such as chatbots, assessment grading systems, adaptive learning systems have been designed, developed and deployed.

However, it is important to recognise that students are not having equal experiences, with some having significantly better experiences than others. This stems from the fact that the intrinsic design of most of the existing systems lend itself to the service of certain groups of students, whilst disadvantaging others. As citadels of learning, it is incumbent upon us to champion the creation of AI systems specifically designed to address the inclusivity challenge facing our education system.

Presenter: Olatunde Durowoju, Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion for the Faculty of Business and Law, Liverpool John Moores University & Vice-Chair ARLT SIG.

<img alt="" src="https://www.alt.ac.uk/sites/alt.ac.uk/files/civicrm/persist/contribute/i... style="width: 250px; float: left; height: 210px;" /> The ALT Annual Conference is back and it’s bigger and better than ever! Join us and over 500 learning technologists for our first fully-fledged Annual Conference since 2019.

The ALT Annual Conference is the UK’s foremost conference for Learning Technologists and one of the largest conferences of its kind, attracting around 500 participants each year. This year, we are celebrating three decades since ALT was established in 1993 with our 30th annual conference.

This year’s conference theme, “Looking through the digital lens: 30 years of Leading People, Digital and Culture”, will celebrate our 30th anniversary and the phenomenal changes in the sector over this time.

The conference will critically examine the organisations and practices we work in through a digital lens, fostering a community of future leaders and innovators in the digital space, who come together to exchange ideas, collaborate, and drive change.

Community in this context also means thinking about what expertise is needed – well beyond the educational technology and technical expertise: organisational change leadership and management, business analysis, and the student voice.

This year's conference themes:

<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Leading People in a time of complexity: How have individuals and teams driven change to solve complex and difficult problems?  How have individuals and teams been rewarded and recognised in their institutions for being experts and leaders in digital learning?</li>
<li aria-level="1">Diversity and Inclusion: How are the most precarious and disadvantaged people being supported and empowered through technology? What future exclusions must we fight? </li>
<li aria-level="1">Sustainability and Social Justice: How green is your educational technology? How will we model green and sustainable practices in the field of educational technology and what does it mean for institutions? How do you make decisions about tech that proactively care for the most vulnerable people among us?  How should we model practices that account more for the health and well-being of people than that of businesses trying to sell technology to the education sector?  </li>
<li aria-level="1">Emerging technologies and behaviours: How are emerging technologies, or new uses for existing technologies changing behaviours and practices? What do emerging technologies mean for learning, teaching and assessment? How do we prepare students and staff to critically face the hype cycles around tools such as Machine Learning, and teach them to sift through what companies are claiming, to find the truth?</li>
<li aria-level="1">Wildcard submissions: submissions that address the wider conference theme, covering practice, research or policy in Learning Technology. </li>
</ul>

Description:

Are you involved in evaluating projects and teaching innovations? Perhaps you are supporting others to understand how a new initiative is working. However, you might be a little frustrated by the evaluation process and product. How can we make evaluation work better, and be more relevant and useful? Louise Goulsbra will explore her new strategic role created at the University of Leeds as Digital Education Manager, Evaluation and Innovation.

She will present her ideas on:

<ul>
<li>How we redefine evaluation and innovation</li>
<li>How she sees the role of evaluation developing</li>
<li>What are the key opportunities and issues in this area.</li>
<li>Her particular approach at the University of Leeds. </li>
<li>Tips that you can use to improve evaluations at your institution. </li>
</ul>

We all know evaluation is important but in some ways, it remains in the shadows, come to this session and let’s discuss how we can move it into the light.

Speaker <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/louise-goulsbra-0193a91a/">Louise Goulsbra</a>, Digital Education Manager, Innovation and Evaluation, University of Leeds.

Louise has worked in the publishing and e-learning industry for just over 20 years - managing teams to scope, commission and develop portfolios of teaching and learning resources and courses for the K1-12, vocational, professionals and academic markets (for the UK and Internationally).

Having developed extensive skills and experience in market research and strategy, user and gap analysis, writer management, content development and learning design, she has now moved on to focus on the evaluation and innovation area of content development and currently leads a team of data analysts and qualitative researchers to implement a strategy and set of work processes to embed and underpin effective evaluation and innovation in the central digital education service at the University of Leeds.

With the increase in development in AI and the changing landscape in the HE space, sound evaluation and innovation has never been more important and she is extremely passionate about doing this well and getting it right so we can better serve our learners.
