  • Data Science Symposium Programme
    Welcome to the Data Science Symposium 2016 Introduction In the current Information Age, data has become a commodity that is driving development crucial to future economic success, particularly for service-based economies such as the UK. The potential to transform the economic landscape is tantalising, from providing business with strategic advantage or new services, to revolutionising medical diagnostics, among many other benefits to society. However this potential cannot be realised unless new methods for handling, analysing, and extracting knowledge from data are made available. This is particularly relevant in the context of Big Data, where scalable techniques and algorithms are vitally important. The emerging field of Data Science usually refers to the interface between Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science that is providing the much sought novel techniques and approaches arising from the cross-fertilisation of ideas between these complementary domains. Data Science is rapidly gathering momentum, and suggests promising new research avenues in the near future. In recognition of this momentum, EPSRC have established the Alan Turing Institute to promote advanced research and translational work in the application of data science, acknowledging that this requires leadership both in advanced mathematics and in computing science. Set in the heart of the gorgeous New Forest, this Data Science Symposium organised by the University of Southampton brings together a multi-institutional, high-profile panel of speakers to promote the cross-fertilisation of ideas between the different domains of Data Science and discuss the prospects of this emerging field in the near future. This event is financed through the EPSRC Institutional Sponsorship grant ‘Southampton Data Science’.

  • Supporting Reflective Processes with Students: Insights from a Review of Research
    Supporting reflective processes with students: insights from a review of research Peter Kahn, University of Manchester Context This briefing note is intended for staff within higher education whose students engage in reflective processes as part of their learning. We offer a framework that tutors may employ to help shape the way in which their students carry out such processes. The framework was developed during a review of research studies pertinent to professional education, with a particular focus on new academic staff. Introduction: streams of consciousness or genuine learning? The notion of ‘reflection’, by which we broadly mean the extended consideration of problematic aspects of knowledge or practice, is now widely employed across higher education, especially in professional contexts and in personal development planning for students. Reflection, for instance, may be used to help an individual understand their professional practice or to gain insights into their progress against a set of personal goals. The conceptual overview for the review, however, highlighted the open-ended nature of this notion, with theorists further identifying various forms of reflection. For instance, van Manen (1977) refers to technical reflection, which concerns the examination of the means that have been used to achieve certain goals, practical reflection, which also involves consideration of the ends themselves, and critical reflection, which addresses judgments on such issues as the underlying ethics and the wider social environment. The review also emphasizes the challenge that students may face in learning how to engage in such complex thought processes. For one thing, it is difficult to sustain a problematic focus over an extended period, especially when there might be uncomfortable implications for one’s own professional practice or approach to life.

  • Understanding Cambridge University and Its Grading Scheme
    Understanding Cambridge University and its Grading Scheme Samantha Farrell-Schmitt earned her undergraduate degree in 1996 from University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom (UK). For the purposes of placing this in the context of an American review, we wish to emphasize the reputation of her university and explain the grading system used in the UK and how it roughly translates to US scores. The University of Cambridge (www.cam.ac.uk) is one of the preeminent universities in the world, founded over 800 years ago, and containing 31 constituent colleges and more than 100 academic departments. It has produced 91 Nobel Laureates, more than any other university in the world. The University of Cambridge is ranked by US News and World Report as the 6th best university in the world, ranked alongside Harvard, MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford, and the University of Oxford (see http://www.usnews.com/education/best-global- universities/rankings). Times Higher Education ranks the university as 5th in the world, the Center for World University Rankings places it as 4th, ahead of both Princeton and Yale. Amongst the 31 colleges of the university is Homerton College, where Samantha studied. Homerton is generally regarded as the leading center for the study of Primary and Secondary Education in the UK. As a UK university, Cambridge follows a grading system different to most US colleges and universities. Thus, the scores and percentages shown on Samantha’s university transcript must be read with an understanding of this distinction. Samantha’s degree shows that she has graduated with honors (honours, to use the British spelling).

    Leah Tether and Laura Chuhan Campbell Early Book Collections and Modern Audiences: Harnessing the Identity/ies of Book Collections as Collective Resources This article summarizes and contextualizes the discussions of a workshop held at Durham University in November 2018. In this workshop, participants (includ- ing academics, students, independent scholars, special and rare books librarians, and archivists) discussed the notion of the collection (that is, the identity of collection as a whole, rather than just its constituent parts), and its potential to serve as a means of engaging both scholarly and public audiences with early book cultures. This study sets out a series of considerations and questions that might be used when tackling such special collections engagement projects, including ones involving more modern collections than the case studies examined here. In November 2018, the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Durham University kindly funded a workshop to investigate the ways in which contemporary audiences have been, are being, and can become engaged with medieval and early- modern book culture through the provision and distribution of key resources. These resources range from published books to digital artefacts and editions; from replica teaching kits—such as scriptorium suitcases—to physical archives and repositories.1 The aim of the workshop, which was led by one of this article’s two authors (Leah Tether), was to build a picture of best practice to inform the teaching and commu- 1. The authors are grateful to Durham’s Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies for fund- ing the workshop, and to the administrators of the Residential Research Library Fellowships (jointly organized by Ushaw College and Durham University) that enabled Leah Tether to spend time in Durham in November 2018.

  • Student Protection Plan
    Nottingham Trent University Student Protection Plan UKPRN: 10004797 Legal Address: 50 Shakespeare Street, Nottingham, NG1 4FQ, UK Contact Point for Enquires about this Plan: Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic Development and Performance) Student Protection Plan for 2020/21 academic year: Nottingham Trent University 1. Scope and identification of Risks Introduction: In accordance with the requirements of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, this plan inform students of what they can expect should a course, campus or institution close. This Student Protection Plan (hereafter “the Plan”) aims to demonstrate that Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has considered how students can continue or complete their studies or be compensated if this is not possible. The University recognises that in the event of a significant course or campus closure it will be expected to work closely with the Office for Students and its own student body to ensure that students’ interests are protected through any such change. Nottingham Trent University is a large, established, high performing and financially stable provider. We would like to reassure both our students and applicants that the risks outlined in this Plan are all very low and in the case of closure extremely low. Examples of risks to which this Plan would apply: • Loss or restriction of University status or its degree awarding powers or its designation for student support or student intake; • Decision to close the institution, a campus or a specialist facility; • Long term disruption to your course
