Teacher tools in a networked learning classroom
Authors: Voyiatzaki Eleni , Polyzos Paris , Avouris Nikolaos
Published: October 2024

During synchronous Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) activities, of multiple small groups working concurrently, a teacher is faced with a strenuous, information rich situation, as students’ activities produce multiple flows of data. These data, however, if used appropriately, may help the supervisor interpret the situation and take effective regulatory action. This requires a quick appraisal of the situation, based on a comparison of the current situation to a model of a desired one, at various levels. This is performed in the classroom by the teacher, taking into account various experiences and knowledge of student’s personalities and typical behaviours (Soller et al, 2005).The design of a software tool that supports supervisors of CSCL classes has been the objective of the research reported here. The tool has been designed and tested in cases of real-time collaboration of small groups (2-3 students) forming up a class (collocated or distant), interacting during activities of limited duration (15 to 60 minutes), with the teacher present physically or electronically. Students collaborate to solve a problem, through Synergo, an environment with a shared drawing space through which diagrammatic representations can be built jointly by a group and a chatting tool for direct text based communication. To support teachers in this context, we have designed a new tool, to assist their tasks in collaborative classrooms. The tool, using the group activity logfiles, builds various views implementing class, group and individuals’ interaction overviews and detailed views of the content of the processA typical use of the supervisor tool is presented in the paper. In a typical screenshot, parts of the screen refer to the class overview, related to the collaboration activity, while other parts refer to the group and individuals’ process and problem solving views. The teacher can see at the class view the groups and their members. Next group interactions may be monitored using graphical representations, which change during groups’ activity. Rules may be defined, which, if activated may cause certain actions or draw the attention of the supervisor to certain events. The teacher can focus in a group and view its dialogue, detect difficulties or misunderstandings, or the current status of the solution specific group is working on. Current solution instance can be represented in comparison with other groups’ solutions to detect differences that may lead to supervisor’s intervention at group or class level. The supervisor may monitor individual's contribution, either by content of messages or by comparing group members’ interactions. The tool can be also used to reproduce the class activity, for off-line class activity evaluation, or to simulate a class activity for training purposes. All these use cases are currently evaluated during specific studies. Further research is planned on the design of suitable alarms to attract teacher’s attention, and support appropriate intervention.
Symposium 11: Expectations and Reality: Exploring the use of learning technologies across the disciplines
Authors: Hardy Judy , Haywood Denise , Bates Simon , Paterson Jessie , Rhind Susan , Macleod Hamish , Haywood Jeff
Published: October 2024

The aim of the LEaD project is to undertake a study of first-year students from a variety of different entry routes and across a variety of subject areas at the University of Edinburgh. Its focus is on "critical moments"; more specifically, the involvement and impact of learning technology on learners' transition to University and how their use of learning technology changes as they progress through their first year.. The study includes a heterogeneous range of students from three academic disciplines: Physics, Veterinary Medicine and Divinity. Courses in these subject areas have an established e-learning presence and have begun to gain experience and understanding of how to embed Web2.0 tools such as weblogs, podcasts etc in support of the teaching, hence this is an ideal time to study the student perspective in parallel with these initiatives.
The key objectives of the project are:

To survey learners' expectations regarding the availability and use of e-learning at University.
To observe how learners adapt and change their approaches to e-learning during their first year at University.
To investigate to what extent learners use non-institutional / personal e-learning technologies to support their learning.
To identify the key factors that influence learners' choices of e-learning strategies and how these are utilised.

Teaching staff from each of the academic disciplines involved in the study are integral to the project team; their involvement is key to maintaining student engagement over the duration of the study. We have followed a mixed-mode approach, including a series of reflective student diaries recorded at key points over the academic year. together with collaborative and group discussion. In addition, since 1990 the University of Edinburgh has surveyed newly arriving undergraduates' experience and expectations of learning technologies and their use in teaching and learning by means of an online questionnaire. In our paper for the symposium we will discuss the tools and techniques used for data collection and will highlight emerging findings.

The objective of this paper is to report on the preliminary results concerning the building of the participatory design methodology which is being developed using a participatory approach and supported by the implementation of participatory management in the context of the European project PALETTE. PALETTE integrates computer scientists, educational scientists and members of Communities of Practice with the objective to improve and facilitate the living and functioning of CoPs by developing integrated technological services as well as online learning services. The paper builds upon key elements which were crucial for implementing Participatory Design in PALETTE.
Symposium 6: Design in use - the case of two CoPs: ePreP and Did@cTIC
Authors: Van de Wiele Nathalie , Rossier Annick , Charlier Bernadette
Published: October 2024

This paper aims to illustrate how the services developed within the PALETTE project (Pedagogically sustained Adaptive LEarning Through the exploitation of Tacit and Explicit knowledge - 2006-2009) can answer specific needs of different CoPs. Through the analysis of two cases (ePrep CoP and CoP Did@cTIC), the reader will discover how the involvement of CoPs in the project has had an impact on support for learning within CoPs (pedagogical interests, organizational). The article shows also how the involvement of CoPs in the project, through the Participatory Design Methodology, helped to develop technical services that are relevant to communities of practice (CoP).
The ePrep case describes some Participatory Design Methodology (PDM) events, involving, in term of Design in use, ePrep CoP members and PALETTE researchers. ePrep CoP members are, for the most of them, teachers in "Classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles" (CPGE), a first higher education cycle preparing students for the competitive entrance exams to the French "Grandes Ecoles". Arisen in 2006 under the guidance of PALETTE researchers, the ePrep CoP conducts pedagogical projects for French and French-speaking CPGEs and similar establishments, using PALETTE tools. According to the PDM, a lot of Design in use events have been organised between CoP members and PALETTE researchers in order to provide the CoP with the tools and services ideally suited to its needs. These events are first presented in a chronological way, then their outcomes are analysed, on a technological point of view, and on a pedagogical point of view. For the technological point of view, we will see how Design in use makes the tools evolve. For the pedagogical point of view, we will see the impact of this evolution on the ePrep CoP members' professional practices. We will conclude that Design in use is a fruitful way for developing tools and services for Communities of Practice, allowing both CoP members and technological researchers to increase their learning in their own filed.
The « Centre de Didactique Universitaire » of the University of Fribourg in Switzerland offers continuous training in Higher Education and Technology. The aim of this training is to develop teaching and academic competences for the teaching profession. One part of this training is to give the possibility to the participants to solve problems of teaching practice through their participation in community of practices called CoP Did@cTIC. The Did@cTIC case highlights two main changes both to the CoPs practices and the PALETTE services infer from the PDM. The first one is the use of structured documents and the other one is the development of an effective information search.
Symposium 6: Bridging the Gap between Technical and Pedagogical Project-Partners' Perspectives on the Modelling of Communities of Practice
Authors: El Ghali Adil , Giboin Alain , Vanoirbeek Christine
Published: October 2024

During the modelling process in multidisciplinary context, the points of view of the actors can be a barrier to efficiently achieve the process. In this paper, we relate the experience we have been confronted to in the context of the Palette IST project . In this project, computer scientists and educational scientists aim at developing services for communities of practice (CoPs). The common work following a participatory design methodology allow us to produce some interesting results for the CoPs, but require to bridge the gap between our perspectives and objectives.
Symposium 6: Participatory Design for Awareness Features

Published: October 2024

In the framework of the European Integrated Project PALETTE, the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of Patras are developing mediation services. These services aim at sustaining collaboration, supporting tacit and explicit knowledge management and enhancing individual and organizational learning in communities of practice (CoPs).
Defined by Dourish and Belloti as "an understanding of the activities of others, which provides a context for one's own activity", awareness is one of the most crucial needs expressed by communities of practice in the framework of the participatory design process implemented within the Palette project. Awareness of past and current actions in shared environments and over shared artifacts motivates participation and guides the members' decisions and course of actions.
This paper describes the approach adopted by two Web-based collaboration support applications, namely eLogbook and CoPe_it!, for developing awareness services. CoPs needs, in terms of awareness, were identified through the participatory design approach. Then, a combination of relevant awareness types found in the literature was adopted in order to address the identified awareness requirements. The resulting awareness services implemented by Palette's mediation services (eLogbook and CoPe_it!) are presented. In particular, the kind of awareness information provided and its rendering means are described. For each tool, the available awareness functionality is related to the awareness type it contributes.
Symposium 8: Flourish: the ecpd project
Authors: Chesney Sarah , Howard James
Published: October 2024

This symposium focuses on the conference themes of Embedding Networked Learning in Institutions and Networked Lifelong Learning. This symposium will discuss the rationale, aims, methodological approach and user experience underpinning Flourish: the eCPD project, a Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) funded study under the Users and Innovations programme.
Flourish aims to give staff in a newly created university the opportunity to engage with an eportfolio first hand for their own continuing professional development. This study of staff approaches and attitudes to using an eportfolio is judicious, with the national driver for personal learning spaces (DfES 2005), the growth in eportfolio use throughout the educational sector and society's current fascination with user created online content as embodied in the Web 2.0 phenomena.
The symposium presenters represent a 360° perspective of Flourish and will include presentations from:

The Educational Developer
The Software Developer
The Staff User

The first paper will give an overview of the Flourish project, which is managed by the Centre for the Development of Learning and Teaching at the University of Cumbria. The paper will discuss how the project team aims to embed a staff eportfolio within existing working practices and CPD processes. It will evaluate one specific approach to overcoming the challenges encountered when introducing staff to new technologies, against the backdrop of competing pressures and time demands in a newly formed, geographically dispersed university.
Building on the first paper, the second paper focuses on the development and enhancement of educational software and how the e-portfolio chosen by the Flourish team (in this case PebblePad) has been adapted to suit the needs of professional teaching, learning and research staff.
The third paper offers the audience a view of the project and the use of an eportfolio from the perspective of a member of staff at the University of Cumbria. This member of staff started using the eportfolio whilst studying for the compulsory to new staff Post Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education. This paper discusses the experience of a non traditional learner against the background of the current UK national agendas including Widening Participation.
Symposium 8: Flourish: the eCPD Project: Supporting the integration of eportfolios for continuing professional development
Authors: Howard James , Chesney Sarah
Published: October 2024

Recent years have seen an increased focus on the use of eportfolios within Higher Education to aid student progression and achievement. However, the potential benefits of eportfolios as a tool to augment the continuing personal and professional development of staff remain an under researched area. The University of Cumbria's JISC funded Flourish project aims to partly address this imbalance by initiating the wide-scale implementation of eportfolios into the existing working routines of academic, service and administrative personnel.
This approach rests on the belief that eportfolios will present tangible enhancements to such processes. By providing a central 'personal space' where resources and experiences can be collated, stored and reflected upon, the professional development of staff is linked to a defined, cohesive structure. As the related applications become routine and familiar, structured development may more readily become integrated into existing practices. Furthermore, as staff levels of comfort with the software increase, they are perhaps better equipped to support students in their use of eportfolios.
At the heart of the Flourish project is a focus on the training and support structures required to support the sustainable integration of an eportfolio within the context of an institution undergoing significant transition. In response, the project team have developed a series of support and training mechanisms that are aligned with a rolling process of research and evaluation. The aim of this iterative approach is to critically assess the relative impact of each form of support as it is trialled, in order to further understand the integration process and inform future patterns of support.
This paper reports on the delivery of a key element of the support strategy developed, a two-day 'e-learning retreat', assessing its impact as an original approach to supporting deep integration of the eportfolio software. Building on qualitative data gathered during the retreat and in the weeks following the event, four analytical themes have been identified:

The need to provide the time and support structures required for engagement with the eportfolio software
The benefits of team Vs individual development when integrating eportfolios into existing work practices
The challenge of separating the professional from the concerns of their profession during staff development
The necessity to continue the momentum of integration once back in everyday working contexts.

Evidence suggests that the retreat successfully addressed challenges associated with the introduction of new technologies. However, issues remain in relation to the long-term integration of eportfolios that will inform future iterations of the support put in place. These centre on the need for a defined focus and outcome to the retreat activities and a reconsideration of the membership of the teams invited to attend.
Symposium 7: Cultural Ecologies in Online Learning
Authors: Hewling Anne
Published: October 2024

This paper will explore the metaphor of 'cultural ecology' as a conceptual framework for understanding the complex ways that technology used in online education, especially delivery platforms, influences learning activity and the identity work of participants.
Learners can now not only access education 'anywhere, anytime' that they can find a place to access the Internet (as early providers boasted) but - via mobile phones, PDAs, and other wireless devices - they can now find it on the way to or from 'anywhere' too. Furthermore, Web 2.0 applications help learners create, and generate content for, online spaces in which they can be independent of any need for offline resource. Equally, learner access via mobile networks using phones able to deliver education materials increasingly permits areas of the developed and developing worlds with limited electricity or telephone resources to gain online access too.
Meanwhile the basic structural design of the majority of institutional learning systems is still based on a particular model derived from North American and European face-to-face educational practice. Conventionally, the issues of culture which this raises have been explored through frameworks which equate culture with nationality, but essentialist concepts such as nationality are unhelpful when culture is conceptualised as continually evolving process with, and in response to, the participation of those involved. Furthermore, prior cultural experience and knowledge are not the only things that determine how students approach learning online. In the online context there are entirely new elements actively involved in interaction - differentiating it from face-to-face classes, familiar or otherwise, and presenting challenges for those wishing to understand discursive practices online. In particular the role of technology itself, and specifically delivery platforms, is influential.
Two specific online education contexts are considered in this paper: a masters level class using a Blackboard virtual learning environment and an informal repository and discussion space for tutors created using blog and wiki software. Data from these two contexts suggests that apparently passive elements in the organisation and operation of activity in the online systems, such as the software itself, were regarded by users as playing an active, in fact interactive, part in the work that users expected the system to do. Moreover, not only did users, content, and other elements in the system have multiple roles, these seemed to change over time. The idea that physically inanimate technology may behave with - or as if it has - some kind of agency is difficult to reconcile with much existing literature in the field. In this paper I draw on the term 'information ecologies' and on other uses of the ecology metaphor in order to propose an alternative to existing understanding of the cultural environment online and further explore the notion of technology as a cultural agent in online learning in these studies.
Symposium 5: Embedding Networked Learning in Greek Higher Education Institutions: Policy and Practice
Authors: Stamatis Demosthenes , Kargidis Theodoros
Published: October 2024

The Operational Programme for Education and Initial Vocational Training (O.P. "Education") is a framework programme designed to aid Greece in meeting the challenges arising internationally due to the development of innovative technologies.(http://www.epeaek.gr). It is co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF), the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Ministry of National Education. Having as a target to enhance the quality of education provided at all levels, the O.P. "Education" has funded a number of actions with the aim of raising the effectiveness and competitiveness of the existing system of Higher Education in Greece. Crucial among them was the action supporting the introduction and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the graduate and postgraduate study programmes (curricula) of Higher Education Institutions. This action is underway and is planned to finish by the end of 2008.
In this context most of the Greek Institutions are incorporating Networked Learning techniques (both synchronous and asynchronous) in their study programmes. The symposium has the goal of acting as a forum for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, gained in this process of introducing Networked Learning in Greek Higher Education Institutions, and to discuss policy and practice issues. The papers of the symposium focus on a number of such issues regarding organizational, pedagogical, and technological aspects of Networked Learning:

Sgouropoulou C., et. al. present a framework that has been established to support the combinatory use of distance learning techniques and multimedia-enhanced instructional content for the support of IT Curricula in Greek Technological Educational Institutes. They also present their evaluation results.
Vassilakis, Psaroudakis and Kalogiannakis analyze the use of an asynchronous education platform at Technological Educational Institute (TEI) of Crete, focusing on aspects regarding teacher-student relations.
Kabouridis G. presents an assessment of the influences and the consequences that networked learning techniques brought in the learning and working environment of the department Mechanical engineering, TEI of Patras and discuses the mutual impact of educational and technological issues.
Triantis D., Stavrakas I.,.et al., present a virtual laboratory environment which was developed in order to teach physics of semiconductors, in a blended learning approach.

This symposium was organised within the activities of the Project "Undergraduate Studies of the Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki/ Work Package 1" , funded in the context of the Priority Action Line 2: "Promotion and improvement of education and vocational training in the framework of lifelong learning" (EPEAEK, Action category 2.2.2.a.) of the Operational Program for Education and Initial Vocational Training.

Authors: Abdulwahb Al-Deib
Published: October 2024

The detection of risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at an earlier age may help reduce or even prevent the future outcomes of this disease. To date, there has been no research conducted on university students regarding associated risk factors such as being overweight or obese in Libya. The aim of this study was to determine any correlation between serum glucose level and anthropometric measurements, age and family history of T2DM in students of the University of Tripoli. A cross-sectional study involving a survey questionnaire, anthropometric measurement and blood glucose levels taken from 246 University students (aged 18-43). Recruitment was carried out from July 15 to August 1, 2024 at the research laboratory in the Faulty of Medical Technology at the University of Tripoli. The Pearson correlation test showed a positive correlation between the level of blood glucose and hip circumference [r= 0.139, P= 0.029]. The only other two risk factors that were close to the level of statistically significance were weight [r= 0.115, P= 0.071] and BMI [r= 0.117, P= 0.067]. T2DM might be prevented or mitigated by encouraging young adults in particular to keep hip circumference in the normal range.

The Impact of Earning Press Releases Sentiment on Abnormal Stock Returns and Volatility
Authors: Zhang Yiqin
Published: October 2024

This dissertation investigates the impact of sentiment in earnings press releases on abnormal stock returns and volatility based on 150 countries from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2016. Using Henry’s dictionary method for sentiment analysis, the study finds a negative association between optimistic tones in press releases and abnormal stock returns, implying that highly positive sentiment may trigger lower market reactions. Additionally, the results indicate that positive sentiment in press releases leads to reduced abnormal volatility both immediately and consistently over a period of 5 days, 10 days, and 30 days. These findings remain robust even after accounting for the impact of the 2008 financial crisis. By addressing both short-term and long-term effects, this research contributes to the literature on enhancing the understanding of how effectively investors incorporate sentiment from press releases into their trading behaviours.

Analysis of Low-carbonization of Hebei's Construction Industry based on BP-DEMATEL Model
Authors: Wu Shan , Wang Yuxuan
Published: October 2024

With the increasing global concern about climate change, the low-carbon development of the construction industry has become an important issue. This paper takes the construction industry of Hebei Province as the research object, and uses the BP-DEMATEL model to analyze the factors affecting the low-carbon development of the construction industry of Hebei Province. This paper expounds the urgency and importance of low-carbon construction industry in Hebei Province. As a large energy consumption and carbon emission, the low-carbon construction industry is an inevitable requirement to cope with environmental challenges, which helps to reduce air pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create a healthy and comfortable living environment for residents. Promoting the low-carbon construction industry in Hebei is in line with the sustainable development strategy, which can save energy resources, reduce building operating costs, and improve the economic efficiency and competitiveness of buildings. Through literature research and expert interviews, numerous influencing factors including building material selection, construction technology, energy management, policies and regulations, etc. are referred to, which constitute the input layer of the model. Then, the analysis results are input into BP neural network for training and prediction, so as to accurately grasp the development trend of low-carbon construction industry in Hebei Province, and provide scientific basis for government decision-making and enterprise actions. A series of strategic suggestions are put forward to promote the low-carbon development of Hebei construction industry. Promote innovation in building materials, promote advanced construction technologies and processes, and strengthen energy management. We will strengthen low-carbon awareness and professional skills training for construction workers and cultivate professional talents. Encourage public participation, raise public awareness and understanding of low-carbon buildings, promote the concept of green building, and form a good atmosphere for the whole society to jointly promote the low-carbon construction industry.
