Riding giants: how to innovate and educate ahead of the wave. Research proceedings of the 21st Annual Conference of the Association for Learning Technology, ALT-C 2014
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This special issue contains the research proceedings of the 21st annual conference of the Association for Learning Technology, which was held from Monday 1st to Wednesday 3rd of September 2014 at Warwick University (UK). All papers deal with creative ways of using technology to enhance students’ learning experience. Three of the papers focus on the role of the teacher, on creative pedagogies and innovative approaches to teachers’ professional development (PD). Two papers focus on the role of social media - mobile or non-mobile - within the teaching and learning experience. The majority of the papers deal with institutions and teachers ‘Learning to ride’ the wave of technology innovation, whereas some are at the stage where they are collecting evidence to suggest that they are ‘Staying up, mobile and personal’.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
