Abstract Machine learning systems are infiltrating our lives and beginning to become important in education systems. This article, developed from a synthesis analysis of previous research, examines the implications recent developments machine for human learners learning. In this article we first compare deep computers humans examine their similarities differences. Deep is identified as sub-set learning, which itself component artificial intelligence. often depends on backwards propagation...
<span>Electronic supported assessment or e-Assessment is a field of growing importance, but it has yet to make significant impact in the Australian higher education sector (Byrnes &amp; Ellis, 2006). Current computer based models focus on knowledge rather than deeper understandings, using multiple choice type questions, and blocking access more sophisticated software tools. This study explored new system customised version an open source live CD, Ubuntu which was used with three...
The demands on academic staff are increasing to the point where effective mechanisms for allocation of their work now necessary. Despite inherent difficulties categorising work, nearly all enterprise agreements at Australian universities include a clause designed avoid overload. Through questionnaire, investigators sought feedback from about perceptions operational effectiveness workload models and opinions concerning transparency, fairness ability regulate workloads. conclusion reached is...
AbstractThe shift towards the inclusion of students with disabilities in regular schools has meant that general classroom teachers need to be skilled educating a diverse range needs and abilities. Together theoretical study as supplement practical experience, teacher educators have begun explore virtual simulated classrooms help prepare pre-service for complexity teaching profession. In this pilot study, we examined perspective on simulation program called "simSchool." Two-hour-long tutorial...
Abstract This article examines how research publications in education and information technologies have changed over the last twenty-five years. The authors investigate articles published journal: Education Information Technologies (EAIT) . To celebrate a quarter-century of this publication. They take retrospective view EAIT journal, using Historical Research methodology to show some trends topics covered interrogate expanding cultural background authors. While computer technology has...
This paper focuses on the 'IT' side of a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) based e-Exam system developed as part an Australian government funded project. In short, students in exam room boot their own laptops using specially crafted USB stick that contains standardised operating and application suite. By giving teachers access to contemporary software tools we are providing opportunity greatly expand pedagogical landscape encouraging more authentic assessment practices. The roles for 'Us'...
Abstract Few contemporary pre‐service teachers would have completed their schooling with the extensive aid of computers. Yet, classroom use information and communication technology (ICT) is now ubiquitous in much world. Today's are ‘cusp generation’ who, at a unique moment history, straddle two worlds ballpoint pen computer mouse. This study examined teachers' beliefs about stakeholder role terms influencing ICT innovation adoption. The expected future pupils to learn computers more...
An online survey of workload activities was circulated to academics across Australia seeking estimates for the time undertake a range academic-related tasks associated with teaching, research and service. This article summarises most important findings from teaching data 2059 respondents. detail has not been reported before Australian university sector. The showing that work more than 50 h per week are consistent previous studies. Although individuals varied greatly, statistical inquiry...
This paper presents the argument that e-exams are needed and long overdue for use in high stakes examinations tertiary sector. Evidence is drawn from educational higher education literature to establish environment ripe adoption of e-exams. A set requirements a suitable approach exams established takes into consideration needs students, pedagogical concerns academics, while being sustainable scalable. An outline features such system will need order meet these discussed, along with program...
Purpose To outline the emerging imperative for integration of ICT into schools and to locate such within broad notions governance effective implementation. Design/methodology/approach Using a flexible interview structure, conversations concerning were held with 65 school‐based personnel in 50 Tasmanian schools. Findings Coding analysis enabled 14 themes be identified; example: “The use involves partnerships between people”, “ICT is more or less integrated classroom curriculum entwined...
Abstract This paper reports on research exploring the academic workload and performance practices of Australian universities. has identified a suite activities associated with teaching, service, each an time value (allocation). led to development estimation tool (AWET). In 2020, validate findings, we contacted academics willing participate further conducted interviews. We used AWET estimate for individual previous year compared it allocated according their institutional model. Discrepancies...
Over the past decade, teaching and learning in virtual worlds has been at forefront of many higher education institutions around world. The DEHub Virtual Worlds Working Group (VWWG) consisting Australian New Zealand academics was formed 2009. These educators are investigating role that play future actively changing direction their own practice curricula. 47 reporting on 28 present an overview how they have changed directions through effective use for diverse activities such as business...
Aim/Purpose: Electronic examinations have some inherent problems. Students expressed negative opinions about electronic (e-examinations) due to a fear of, or unfamiliarity with, the technology of assessment, and lack knowledge methods e-examinations. Background: are now viable alternative method assessing student learning. They provide freedom choice, in terms location examination, can immediate feedback; students institutions be assured integrity testing. This turn motivates strive for...
Abstract This article reports on findings from ‘action research’ pilot projects in four Tasmanian primary schools. The focused the provision of professional learning to support use information and communication technology (ICT) teaching learning. These used an approach developed observations school classes as part Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage grant study impact ICT pedagogies In course projects, some participants implemented solutions for a major problem learning, namely, how...
Abstract It seems anachronistic that we expect students to handwrite essay examinations when almost all their other work is mediated by computer. Two universities, one in the UK and A ustralia, are exploring use of computers free text response examinations. This paper compares both attitudes behaviours concerning examinations, contrasts responses from two cohorts. Most have confidence typing skills report as least fast they can handwrite. The analysis demonstrates although recognise...
