This hands-on workshop aims to equip faculty with the knowledge and practical skills to develop and implement new interactive feedback features in Moodle 4.1. Participants will explore and gain hands-on experience with a range of interactive feedback methods, including peer feedback, self-assessment, interactive quizzes, activity completion, and multimedia feedback, enabling them to design diverse feedback experiences for their students. By the end of the workshop, faculty members will have increased confidence in using Moodle 4.1 for the purposes of interactive feedback, leading to enhanced student engagement, and learning outcomes.

This webinar will explore strategies and questions around navigating challenging moments that can emerge in the classroom. Often referred to as H-O-T moments (heated, offensive or tense), these can range from controversial topics to disruptive behaviours. This session is designed to help instructors feel more prepared when these arise in classroom, and will cover: 1. How to notice tension, conflict, and charged discussions 2. Examples of H-O-T moments 3. Understanding the impact of these moments on students and learning Strategies to address these moments

Active learning is an important concept in machine learning, in which the learning algorithm is able to choose where to query the underlying ground truth to improve the accuracy of the learned model. As machine learning techniques come to be more commonly used in scientific computing problems, where data is often expensive to obtain, the use of active learning is expected to be particularly important in the design of efficient algorithms. In this work, we introduce a general framework for active learning in regression problems. Our framework extends the standard setup by allowing for general types of data, rather than merely pointwise samples of the target function. This generalization covers many cases of practical interest, such as data acquired in transform domains (e.g., Fourier data), vector-valued data (e.g., gradient-augmented data), data acquired along continuous curves, and, multimodal data (i.e., combinations of different types of measurements). Our framework considers random sampling according to a finite number of sampling measures and arbitrary nonlinear approximation spaces (model classes). We introduce the concept of generalized Christoffel functions and show how these can be used to optimize the sampling measures. We prove that this leads to near-optimal sample complexity in various important cases. This work focuses on applications in scientific computing, where, as noted, active learning is often desirable, since it is usually expensive to generate data. We demonstrate the efficacy of our framework for gradient-augmented learning with polynomials, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using generative models and adaptive sampling for solving PDEs using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs).

Data-driven approach for personalization of electropolishing operations in used baths

Indigenization of the academy refers to the meaningful inclusion of Indigenous peoples’ knowledge(s) in the everyday fabric of the institution from policies to practices across all levels, not just in curriculum. How and to what extent does your curriculum content and pedagogy reflect Indigenous peoples’ voices and perspectives across the academy in respectful ways? What does a successful Indigenized decolonized post-secondary institution look? During this reading circle we will discuss Dr. Michelle Pidgeon’s 2016 article, More Than a Checklist: Meaningful Indigenous Inclusion in Higher Education and discuss what Indigenization means as it relates to institutional initiatives (e.g., policy, programs, and practices).

Come to the Friends of the Library space (LB-361)! Bring your yoga mat! Seats will also be provided. Register or drop-in! Accompanying her voice with singing bowls, a hand pan, ocean drum, flutes and other gentle instruments, Irene Feher will perform gentle soothing sounds that will bring you into a restful calm state. As you sit or lie down and let the sounds wash over you, your brain state will gradually be altered from a normal waking state to a more relaxed state, and maybe even a dreamlike and restorative state. Experience this in the calm oasis of the Friends of the Library space. To have the best experience for yourself and others around you we ask the following: Please arrive 10-minutes before so you can make yourself comfortable before the sound bath begins. Silence your phone and any devices you have with you. Allow time in your schedule to stay for the full 30-minutes, and then allow yourself another 5-10 minutes of additional time afterwards so you can leave the space slowly and retain your state of calm.
