Making educational technology enhance the collaborative work in different learning spaces

AVIXA XCHANGE LIVE 

Ask the Experts…What will the student of the future need from higher education and are we ready?

One of the keys to successful learning is creating inspiring spaces and engaging experiences.  When Covid-19 regulations were relieved, many students rushed back to campus-based learning to benefit from in-person learning. 

We assemble an expert panel to explore what the needs of the future student might be and how Universities can adapt alongside changing times.

NTNU CAMPUS OF THE FUTURE

Fremtidens campus (Campus of the Future) is a research and development program, which is following NTNU's work with campus development. It is funded by NTNU and coordinated by NTNU Samfunnsforskning. The program is independent of NTNU's campus development, and will through original research contributions and establishment of state-of-the-art contribute with valuable input to this process.

The purpose of the program is twofold. It will produce knowledge that can serve useful for campus development and contribute to NTNU achieving the ambitious goals. Furthermore, new knowledge will be generated which other large public developments can benefit from. The program strives to be relevant and attractive for different academic communities and disciplines at NTNU, while also stimulating interdisciplinary collaboration.

Title: Harness the Power of Digital Learning

Speaker: Robin Støckert

​

In 2020, pivoting to remote learning became an immediate necessity, rather than an option for businesses and academia, globally.  The need to keep students and staff engaged in the learning experience increased the roll-out of existing tools and drove the adoption of new ones. In 2021, the demand for new interactive technologies will continue to surge. The field is fast developing and shows no signs of slowing down.  We examine the technologies boosting learning experiences and the issues around their successful deployment. We bring together corporates, AV providers, integrators, futurists and educators for a rounded conversation on the future of digital learning.

First on the agenda is the highly anticipated ISE Reporter Roundtable. International industry experts including Varun Sawhney - Netflix, Elizabeth Lembke - TRANSFORMING TALENT, Diana Laurillard - UCL Institute of Education and Robin Støckert - Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU)

Title: Autoscale: Automatic and Dynamic Scale Selection for Live Jazz Improvisation

Speaker: Thibault Jaccard

​

We are proud to announce that one of our students at MCT, Thibault Jaccard, is presenting his paper at NIME. He will present AutoScale, an interactive software for making jazz improvisation more accessible by lifting the burden of scale selection from the musician while still allowing full controllability if desired. This is realized by implementing a MIDI effect that dynamically maps the desired scales onto a standardized layout. Scale selection can be pre-programmed, automated based on algorithmic lead sheet analysis, or interactively adapted.
He will discuss the music-theoretical foundations underlying the approach, the design choices taken for building an intuitive user interface, and provide implementations as VST plugin and web applications for use with a Launchpad or traditional MIDI keyboard.

Title: Learning and teaching in a distributed environment

Speakers: Fredrik Haugdal, Magnus Sæternes Lian and Robin Støckert 

Digital technology makes it possible to connect students and teaching staff across geographical distances offering the possibility to mix physical and virtual participation, share similar classes between different institutions and allow multi-campus universities to increase the selection of courses at each campus. Norwegian universities have considerable experience of both designing and repurposing courses in these types of environment. This session will look at examples and lessons learned using both standard and ‘high end’ AV technologies.

Magnus and Fredrik gave us an excellent introduction to the new interactive learning spaces they are working on. Robin Støckert presented MCT and SALTO as a user case.

Title: Facilitating Team-Based Programming Learning with Web Audio

Speaker: Anna Xambó 

​​​Abstract: In our paper, we presented a course of audio programming using web audio technologies addressed to an interdisciplinary group of master students who are mostly novices in programming. This course is held in two connected university campuses through a portal space and the students are expected to work in cross-campus teams. The course promotes both individual and group work and is based on ideas from science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education, team-based learning (TBL) and project-based learning. We show the outcomes of this course, discuss the students’ feedback and reflect on the results.  

​​​We found that it is important to provide individual vs. group work, to use the same code editor for consistent follow-up and to be able to share the screen to solve individual questions. Other aspects inherent to the master (e.g. intensity of the courses, coding in a research-oriented program) and to prior knowledge (e.g. web technologies) should be reconsidered. We conclude with a wider reflection on the challenges and potentials of using web audio as a programming environment for novices in TBL cross-campus courses and how to foster effective novices.

We are proud to announce that Anna received a "Best Paper Award Certificate" for our paper.

Title: One Master, Two Universities and many challenges.

Speakers : Magnus Sæternes Lian and Robin Støckert

​​​​Uninett is now launching Zoom for HE and in conjunction with this a workshop was held. It was a full day workshop with presentations and discussions about replacing excisting tools for videoconference, the use of Teams and  how the different tools and systems overlap regarding features and functions. NTNU has been working with the development of Zoom-rooms system solutions for larger lecture halls and classrooms, and shared their knowledge regarding system setup, hardware and control systems. Magnus gave a full presentation of how the design was done and the features implemented for effective use and control. The project: Innovative Learning spaces in a cross-campus settings, (managed by Fredrik Haugdal) was the stage for this development. Finally, Robin presented how ZOOM is used as a basic feature to support pedagogical activities in SALTO, like team-based learning and cross-university collaboration and communication.

Title: A case study in learning spaces for physical-virtual two-campus interaction.

Speaker: Robin Støckert 

Abstract: 

Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Teaching Excellence is an integrated and wide-ranging initiative aimed at helping NTNU to achieve its goal to providing education characterized by quality at a high international level. The initiative consists of a portfolio of development measures, with the purpose to develop innovative approaches to learning, teaching and assessment.

SALTO (Student Active Learning in a Two campus Organization) is one of the development projects founded for the period 2018-2020. The project is based on a study where the students are divided into two campuses. The aim is to develop effective pedagogy with activity at both ca the same time, with a particular emphasis on interaction, resource sharing, communication and collmpuses ataboration. The project aims to allow students and teachers to explore educational, methodological, and technological solutions together. A new joint master’s program in “Music, Communicati​​​on and Technology” (MCT) between NTNU and University in Oslo (UiO), constitutes the framework for the SALTO project. The common pedagogy, technology and shared learning space between the two Universities, is hereafter defined as the Portal. (Photo Inger Langseth)

​SALTO will utilize the MCT Portal as an arena/living lab to evolve and optimize student active learning scenarios. In this paper, we elaborate on the issues, challenges and potential with three different scenarios, which emerged during the first 6 months of the project:
