13th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning - SHEILA workshop 

Yi-Shan Tsai, Research Associate

How long have you worked with the Centre?

I joined the team in 2016 to work on a cross-European project – SHEILA (Supporting Higher Education to Integrate Learning Analytics). Since 2018, I have started to work on two new projects: LALA (Building Capacity to Use Learning Analytics to Improve Higher Education in Latin America)and EMBED (Developing a European Maturity Model for Blended Education).

How do you see digital education and why do you think it's important?

We take a broad view of industry engagement that includes both public service delivery and policy advocacy along with the work of third sector organisations and private companies in a range of sectors.  The benefits of researcher-industry collaboration can include service and policy improvement, developing skills and the development of new products.

Children's thoughts on teaching automation

Will robots take over teaching at schools?  What aspects of teaching will they be good or bad at?  This video is based on a series of vox pops that invited children to tell us about their thoughts on robots in general, what it would be like to have a robot teacher, and what might a robot be like in twenty years from now.

'I think they're quite intelligent' 

'Weird'

'Might be a bit better at teaching becuase they know more answers to things'
