You are invited to learn about, teach about and/or share your fibre art every Tuesday afternoon from 3 - 5:45 p.m. You can come in person to the Technology Sandbox located in the Webster Library (LB-211) or join us remotely by Zoom. Drop in at your convenience whether you have a project or not.

This workshop introduces the basics of Open Educational Resources (OER) such as renewable assignments and open textbooks and their place in the open ecosystem. You will learn to search for and discover OER relevant to your courses and disciplines. In an open document, we will collaboratively search OER repositories for materials that can be added to Concordia’s OER By Discipline Resource Guide, and that you might find useful to your studies. Through collaborative small group discussions and guided practice, you can contribute a tangible benefit for yourself and your fellow students, and leave equipped to advocate more effectively for OER in your classrooms.

This workshop will guide participants through the first steps for doing data analysis, specifically text mining with Weka. Weka is an open source machine-learning tool. We will be replicating the work of Mike Thelwall in his paper on Gender bias in machine learning for sentiment analysis (https://wlv.openrepository.com/handle/2436/620690) Before getting into the hands-on text mining exercise, we will present a brief introduction to AI and machine learning, as well as the notion of algorithmic bias; what it is, how is introduced and its repercussions. By the end of the workshop participants will have applied a sentiment analysis technique to a gender segregated data set and be able to determine its effect on the resulting predictive model.

This workshop aims to ensure that participants do not miss out on the little-known research tools and tricks which can be indispensable for effective graduate level research at Concordia in all subject areas. We will cover essentials such as: 1. Pinpointing the best spots on the library web site for graduate students 2. Discovering services, resources and perks reserved for grad students only 3. Knowing when and how to seek in-depth assistance from Concordia subject specialists 4. Using specialized and subject-specific resources 5. Optimizing access to Concordia resources from on and off campus 6. Efficiently accessing material within and beyond Concordia Participant questions and input will be invited throughout the session.
