  • 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’.

The framework captures 1) how engagement with OER manifests itself in people’s behaviours and attitudes in various stages of progression from novice to expert users and 2) what factors impinge on a person’s engagement with OER. In this paper we apply the framework retrospectively to the disciplinary context of language teaching. This exercise has two aims. First, we use the framework to assess the degree to which teachers at the Department of Languages, The Open University, UK, have engaged with OER reuse following the introduction of LORO, a departmental open repository of teaching materials for languages.

  • Exploring the Relationship Between Sensorimotor Integration and Social Processing in Autism ESRC DTP Joint Studentship
    Exploring the relationship between sensorimotor integration and social processing in autism ESRC DTP Joint Studentship The University of Nottingham and Loughborough University The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). One of 14 such partnerships in the UK, the Midlands Graduate School is a collaboration between the University of Warwick, Aston University, University of Birmingham, University of Leicester, Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham. We are now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Joint Studentship between The University of Nottingham (where the student will be registered) and the Loughborough University to commence in October 2018. The Project This studentship will investigate links between specific sensorimotor integration deficits and social difficulties in autism with a view to developing sensory training paradigms using virtual reality that will have a meaningful impact on social functioning. Sensory abnormalities are a defining feature of autism and may account for a significant amount of social-communication difficulties. However, the current evidence base cannot inform us about how a particular sensory mechanism affects specific areas of social functioning; information vital to the development of appropriate interventions designed to improve both sensory and social function in autism. One theory to link these domains is atypical sensorimotor temporal binding in autism. Accurate sensorimotor binding underlies the awareness and understanding of our own body and researchers have argued that a failure to detect similarities between another’s movements and our own may impair social processing. Recent research has shown that sensorimotor temporal binding is malleable and therefore there is great potential in exploring sensory training as an intervention.
