Important factors for making an algorithm by Learning Design at UTS https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx en-us 2021-09-29 02:48:13 UTC 2021-11-12 06:54:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Tough question! https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1802014452 You would need very detailed steps around how you learn the particular thing you're trying to model. If the algorithm is performing a series of steps they would need to be clearly identified to be accurate.

I'd think a working definition of learning (in the particular data context) would be required and what the measure of learning would indicate i.e. how would it be measured and what it would tell us about learning.]]> 2021-10-10 22:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1806148792 ILOs? https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1806496326 Maybe ILOs. learning, within a context, can be measured/observed using ILOs to achieve desirable learning/behaviour outcomes. I think we can use ILO as an important factor to take into account for making an algo to model learning.]]> 2021-10-11 02:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1806496326 The students I guess! https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1807005933 Making sure that the algorithm is as learner-centred as possible makes sense if it's to improve learning - though perhaps also teacher-centred if these are the people who impact learning outcomes. ]]> 2021-10-11 08:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1807005933 Algorithm literacy https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1807485440 The busy bee 🐝

“Unless there is an increased effort to make true information literacy a part of basic education, there will be a class of people who can use algorithms and a class used by algorithms.”

I assume that the second approach would have a greater potential for bias as you can be selective about the input and thus generate a desired outcome. But before you do any food preparation or cooking, you kind of need to know what you are doing. So the most important factor for making an algorithm to model learning is to become skilled in that process, or at least have enough understanding so that you know the limitations of the software.  All this cooking talk is making me hungry...]]> 2021-10-13 07:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1813155744 Hmmm! https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1813538919 Having a clear understanding of what you want to model so you know all the necessary variables and inputs.]]> 2021-10-13 10:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1813538919 mariana_rodriguez_1 https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1815865136 Having clear set Outcomes and understanding the general needs of the students. ]]> 2021-10-14 03:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1815865136 Define the problem https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/i2ozc4xvb6f62wfx/wish/1815940232 An algorithm appears to be trying to put the 'science' behind a solution to a problem.
