Please direct any enquiries to the organiser \nJoin us for an open-ended and exploratory discussion of the ethical implications of AI for assessment in higher education. \nRegister here   \nIncluding audience participation through interactive polls and discussion. \nThe advent and growth of AI presents new challenges and opportunities for assessment of learning in higher education. The ability to generate original text and other outputs (art\, computer code\, etc) from simple input prompts challenge how we understand many forms of assessment (for example essays) to represent students’ learning and knowledge. At the same time\, this technology is likely to be present in the environments in which students will work\, may enable some students to better express their learning\, and can be seen as continuation of other technologies that assist writing and knowledge management. This panel will explore ethical positions on how these developments should relate to assessment practice. \nAI generated image of a panel discussion and audience (credit: Open AI)\nModerator: \nProfessor Tansy Jessop (Pro Vice-Chancellor for Education and Students) \nPanel: \nProfessor Helen Heath (Physics) \nDr Steve Bullock (Aerospace Engineering) \nDr Joan Passey (Dept of English) \nEd Daniels (MArts – Film and Television with Innovation) \nTimber Hill (MSc – Nuclear Science and Engineering) \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n Like this:Like Loading...

We will hear how the TBL has been put into practice to further engage students and help them become even more familiar with the course material to successfully solve problems. In particular\, we will explore the 4-step Readiness Assurance Process to which TBL relies upon; this is implemented to ensure that learners are motivated to make preparation before class and then turn it into true readiness to cope with multiple choice questions and application case studies/exercises during the class. We will invite you to gain hands-on experience in using a cloud-based web application (InteDashboard) for TBL quizzes and cases.  \nFurther reading about the Team-Based Learning approach:  \nMichaelsen\, L.

And what better way to learn than actually build a skyscraper\, or a stadium. Unfortunately\, these costs hundreds of millions of pounds\, so we reach for the next best thing Lego!  Through playful scenario setting\, by adding risks through the role of a nice\, and costing the build of the New York’s skyline students are exposed to a number of real life challenges and practices\, all whilst having fun. And in this session you will get to have a go too. Come along\, build New York\, whilst we share videos and stories that explain how our students are learning through play.  \n  \nDr Annika Johnson – Asymmetric Curiosity (Economics)  \nActive learning is just as important in large group settings as small classes\, but motivating students to engage without the instructor closely overseeing each student’s actions might mean the student doesn’t fully participate and they then miss out on learning. In this section we look at a simple method to prompt student’s curiosity in a large group setting and use this to incentivise all students to follow each and every logical step in the outline of a proof. It is simple\, random act of curiosity used annually to teach asymmetric information in Economics.   \nNote: Please make the presenter aware of any citrus allergies at the beginning of the session.   \n  \nProfessor Francesco Fornetti (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)  \nWill attend on the day and answer any informal questions related to taking a holistic approach to designing active learning sessions for which supporting resources will be provided to attendees ahead of the event.  \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n Like this:Like Loading...

This session\, chaired by Kirsten Cater (Education Director for PGT and Associate Dean\, Department of Computer Science)\, will include a range of examples and ideas exploring how group projects and dissertations can set up and delivered\, how such projects are received by students and the advantages and disadvantages of organising and delivering such projects.  \nContributions include/Contributor abstracts:   \nDr Lucy MacCarthy-Morrogh (School of Biochemisty)  \nGroup research projects are more and more being recognised as a valuable ‘capstone project’ option for students in their final year of study. I’ll talk about one such project that has run for the past two years in the school of Biochemistry. This project gives the students the opportunity to work full time (or as much as their teaching timetable allows) immersed in a research environment – albeit set up in a teaching lab – for the duration of the project. This enables students to adapt to a new environment and become adept and familiar with sophisticated and authentic laboratory techniques and data analysis.  Students rapidly move from being dependents to planning and performing their own experiments and making their own decisions.  Such projects can play a significant part in enabling students to develop many skills\, including\, importantly\, becoming independent and critical thinkers.   \nI’ll describe what needed doing to set such a project up\, how it has run the last two years\, the benefits of such projects to both the students and their school\, some limitations\, and what I learned from version 1 (run in 2021) that led to tweaks to version 2 (2022).  \n  \nDr Stephanie Pellegrin (School of Biochemistry)   \nYear 3 experimental group research project delivered in the Biochemistry Teaching Labs   \nThe Year 3 Research Project Unit in the School of Biochemistry is an opportunity for students to develop their skills as independent thinkers and researchers. This summative project is the culmination of their university training\, often referred to as a ‘capstone’ project\, and is worth 20% of the final year mark. Many students choose experimental projects to experience lab work in a research environment. Typically\, each student spends ~20 days ‘at the bench’ then writes up their work in the form of a scientific article. My aim was to offer an experimental group research project (GRP) which could be delivered to 6 – 20 students in the Biochemistry teaching labs and which would emulate the experimental projects offered in a research environment. This GRP is allied to a research-active group within the Biochemistry department and enables each student to carry out novel research and design experiments addressing the research hypothesis. I will detail the process of setting up and running an experimental GRP as well as highlight what needs to be taken into consideration along the way.  \n  \nEvelyn Miller (Third year Sociology with Quantitative Research Methods BSc and BILT Student Fellow on Decolonising the curriculum)  \n Drawing from my experience of assessment within the SPAIS department at the University of Bristol\, my presentation will propose that group projects or assessments are an important part of our education. Group projects offer the opportunity for students to reflect on their own academic practices\, to carefully consider how to go about knowledge-sharing to suit other students’ needs and to value the learning and perspectives of their peers. In particular\, group projects or assessments can benefit students from marginalised backgrounds\, such as neurodiverse students.  \nTracey Maggs (Professional Liaison Officer – Faculty of Social Sciences and Law)  and Tao Wang (Senior Lecturer\, School of Management) \n The Professional Liaison Network (PLN) co-ordinates a range of activities that connect students\, academics and researchers from the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law with external organisations.   This joint presentation will focus on how the PLN has successfully collaborated with the MSc Management programme academic team to implement applied learning through group projects to give students the opportunity to gain practically orientated experiences that enrich their learning and build employability skills.   We will share our key learnings around the planning\, preparation and logistics of setting up group projects and the challenges of scaling up through a series of case studies.    We will also give an overview of the new assessment process and how we have learnt from previous models to ensure the grading structure is both consistent and equitable for all students.  Finally we will discuss student feedback and how this will inform our future practice.   \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n Like this:Like Loading...

DESCRIPTION:Overview:  \nRegister here  Students wishing to attend this event can register on Eventbrite.  \nThis is one event in a series of workshops in this year’s BILT Show\, Tell and Talk series which aim to explore local research and showcase examples of innovative practice across the university. In this session staff from across the University will demonstrate how they have embedded authentic assessments in different disciplinary areas.   \nContributions include/Contributor abstracts:   \nDr Anthi Chondrogianni  (Senior Lecturer in Economics)  \nOur graduates are employed in a wide range of sectors\, such as banking\, consulting\, government\, start-ups and think-tanks. Therefore\, economics students are required to develop a wide range of skills throughout their degrees\, from data analysis to communicating with non-specialist audiences\, to be well-equipped for their future careers. At the same time\, due to the increasing number of students\, it is critical to ensure the quality of graduates is not jeopardised. From a pedagogical perspective\, to help students genuinely developed these skills\, it is important to design assessments that do not focus exclusively on traditional\, for our field\, skills\, such as academic writing\, and economic application. In my talk\, I will discuss how I introduced a two-stage summative assessment that helps students develop both ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ skills\, as they are often termed. It will also cover some important challenges that had to be addressed to ensure disabled students’ learning and teaching is supported in line with the university’s guidelines.  \nDr Neil Carhart (Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering)  \nFrom designing weather satellites to constructing wind-turbines and maintaining high-speed railways\, engineering students are trained in a broad range of theories\, tools and techniques they will be expected to put into practice as professionals in their chosen discipline.  Such skills are used in the service of delivering effective\, efficient and sustainable systems that meet societies’ needs. These complex challenges cannot be solved by a single sector working in isolation. They involve collaboration with economists\, creative industries\, politicians\, chemists\, social scientists\, the public and many others. While technical skills may form the building blocks of a professional engineers’ abilities\, their higher-order skills of critical thinking\, collaboration\, communication and complex problem-solving form the mortar that binds them together and allows them to be put to meaningful use.  This short talk will share experiences of a summative assessment that aims to allow students to demonstrate some of these higher-order learning outcomes\, on a complex real-world challenge\, and applying the sorts of tools they will likely use as practising engineers.  \nDomi Duff (3rd Year undergraduate Psychology student and BILT Student Fellow for active and authentic learning)  \nThere is general agreement that authentic assessment is useful in a number of ways but what do students think about what is already in place? In this session\, I will present the findings from student feedback questionnaires and interviews to outline the student voice on their recent authentic assessments\, considering their wants and needs with the aim of improving student buy-in and promoting the good work already taking place.  \nJess McCormack (Lecturer in Theatre and Performance) and Alice Bebber\, CJ Coppin\, Amy O’Mahony (2nd year Theatre students) \nWorking in collaboration with the UOB Engaged Learning Team\, this project was designed to support BA Theatre and Performance Studies students on the ‘Applied Theatre’ unit to engage in a project with a local community or education-based organisation. Working in small groups\, the students initially worked with one community or education-based organisation to identify and gain insight into specific challenges facing that organisation or specific campaign/mission the organisation is working on\, before designing and delivering a programme of theatre/creative arts activity (including creative workshops and/or performance) to respond to their proposal and benefit the organisation’s needs.  This community engaged learning project aimed to provide opportunities for BA Theatre and Performance Studies students to learn through practice and apply their creative facilitation and creative directing and producing skills to real-world community or education-based projects. This project also aimed to encourage students to become active and creative citizens by providing them with the opportunity to gain insight into and respond to specific challenges facing community and/or education-based organisations. This short talk will explore how this unit was designed and delivered and share experiences of a summative assessment that asked students to demonstrate some of the learning outcomes that emerged when they applied their creative facilitation and creative directing and producing skills to complex real-world projects.   \nThis year the students worked with Bristol Refugee Rights\, ACTA Community Theatre\, Friends of Hillfields Library\, May Park Primary School and the University of Bristol Faculty of Arts Widening Participation Team.   \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n Like this:Like Loading...

There is a variety of research happening across the University exploring how we can improve the experience of international students and discover the common issues that arise for them. Whether this is intercultural communication\, working in groups or just a feeling of not ‘fitting in’; we want to learn more about these obstacles and how they can be overcome. \nIf you have experience of successful (or even not so successful!) interventions that have been tested out in your school or department please come and share your insights. We are keen to discuss key themes and to explore possible solutions so that the transition to university life in the UK – both academically and outside the classroom – is as smooth as it can be. \nThis 90 minute in-person workshop\, hosted by Maxine Gillway\, Polly Barr\, Fiona Hartley\, Catriona Johnson and Ivory Wang\, with additional contributions from Claire Spencer (Senior Lecturer\, School of Accounting and Finance)\, takes place in Room 1.20\, Helen Wodehouse Building\, 35 Berkeley Square. The session will give a brief overview of our BILT-funded research projects which are focused on understanding how our approach to teaching and assessment and the content of our curricula impacts the international student experience. The session will also explore with attendees what we can do to ensure international students thrive in their learning and feel a sense of belonging while at Bristol. \nFacilitators: \n\nMaxine Gillway – Director\, Centre for Academic Language and Development\nPolly Barr – Lecturer\, School of Psychological Science\nFiona Hartley – Lecturer in Academic Development\, BILT\nCatriona Johnson – EAP Tutor\, Centre for Academic Language and Development \nIvory Wang – Student Fellow\, BILT\n\nThe session includes a presentation\, group discussion\, and will end with a chance to mingle with fellow attendees over tea and biscuits. \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n Like this:Like Loading...
