title: Low-cost autonomous 3-D monitoring systems for hydraulic engineering environments and applications with limited accuracy requirements

authors: Kularatna, Nihal

subjects: Autonomous 3-D monitoring

abstract: The details of developing autonomous 3-D motion monitoring systems based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) motion sensors for hydraulic environments are discussed. Possible areas of application, are river bed sediment transport monitoring and monitoring the agitation and other physical parameters inside milk vats with a mechanized agitator. Simplified calculations of inertial navigation systems (INSs) such as Euler angle method, MATLAB programs for further processing, power management systems for autonomous operation including the possibility of inductive power transfer (IPT) and use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology are discussed. Experimental results for proof of concept systems are highlighted.

title: Using colleague coaching to develop teacher data literacy

authors: Edwards, Frances

subjects: Social Sciences

abstract: This paper reports on teachers developing their own data literacy and then acting as data coaches for colleagues in their schools. The 13 teachers from 8 schools in the study analysed standardised data using a data conversation protocol, identified students with significant mathematical misconceptions and took data-informed action with these students. Through this inquiry process they developed confidence to act as data coaches with a small number of colleagues. By positioning themselves as co-learners with their coachees the teachercoaches circumvented school power dynamics. Instead they drew authority from their own inquiries using the data conversation protocol. Nonetheless, some faced challenges when coachees were assigned to the process and/or the formative intent of data use was not clear to coachees.
