This can be from your perspective as a learner OR as an educator. --- ## Feedback and Q&A ### Questions from participants :question: Place your questions here and we will pick these up in the session :smile_cat: - I have been very interested in the work of Pratim Sengupta [on teaching AI ethics](https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/chapter-pdf/2088508/9780262363075_c000700.pdf) and trainsitioning others, with the idea that by using an "other" then there is space for the learner to explore their own bias/ values/ beliefs by comparing to the "other". I wonder if what this resonates with your work Aline? - One of the areas of research in education knowledge building that we have been involved with is [[Semantic Waves](https://teachinglondoncomputing.org/semantic-waves/)] - by Karl Maton. In this theory the linking of technical vocabulary and everyday vocabulary along with moving from abstract to familiar contexts is the seen as being a good way to learn. This seems to be a theory that links to Arron's approach to link to relatable contexts. Have you come across this theory? - - - - - - - - - - - - ### Useful Links/references :bookmark_tabs: - [Give your link a title in square brackets](put the url in round brackets) - [2022 recording](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/ds-ai-educators-programme/blob/main/2022/cc8-making-learning-memorable/ABOUT.md) <- this is last year's recording, which also features an additional speaker - [Games and Learning - UCL DigiEd blog post](https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/digital-education/2020/03/23/games-and-learning/) - John Dewey - Learning from Discontinuity - [Portal to judge moral dilemmas](https://www.moralmachine.net/) - [ODI game - Datopolis](https://learning.theodi.org/courses/datopolis) - have play a short version of this at MozFest - [For more details on educational ethics game, read my paper (Nardo/Gaydos 2021) "‘Wicked problems’ as catalysts for learning in educational ethics games"](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17449642.2021.1979283) - [UCL ARC education](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/arc/education) - [IPAC methodology to grade group assignments](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/engineering/ipac/help/index.html) - - - - - --- ## Breakout activity :speaking_head_in_silhouette: ### Breakout room discussions #### Room 1 1.
