Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

2. AGENDA
• Objective
• What is Brain Science?
• Key Concepts and application
• References and Resources
3. OBJECTIVE
Target Audience
• During this session, we’ll review current research on
brain science and examine how the findings can be
applied in online learning design.
• This session is aimed at learning and development
professionals who would like an introduction to
brain science research and to learn about how it can
be practically applied in online learning
4. What do we mean by “Brain Science?”
Research from the following areas:
• Behaviourial Economics
• Neuroscience
• Molecular Biology
• Cognitive Psychology
• Collectively grouped as “brain science”
6. History of behavioral economic – Kannaman
OVERVIEW
Behavioral
Economics
Daniel
Kahneman
Amos Tversky
7. MIND Wandering
Sets in after 10 minutes
Helps us to connect the dots
Natural part of learning
Creating short chunks of content – 10 minutes or less
Keep learners attention by varying the content types regularly
(reading, video, discussion etc.)
8. PROSPECT
Theory
Prospect theory is a behavioral
economic theory that describes the way
people choose between probabilistic
alternatives that involve risk, where the
probabilities of outcomes are known
9. Decision making
cycle
Stage = Motivation to change
Blocker = Justification
Stage = Intention to change
Blocker = Doubt
Stage = Preference
Blocker = Comparison
Stage = Decision point
Blocker = Risk perception
Behaviour
change
10. Driving change
Identify where learners are in the process of making
a change and provide material that is specific and
relevant to overcome the blockers for their context
State the issues of staying as you are as well as
what you will benefit from in opening a course
Provide opportunities for the learner to define their
personal objectives and link these back to why
Provide a clear structure to move ahead towards
their goals, allowing them to focus on the task at
hand
11. PEER Learning
Better for the peers to teach each other or use a near
peer teacher – for example playing squash with
someone who is just a bit better than you helps your
game
Encourage learning partners online, where
possible integrate meeting learning partner in
person as well
Create peer group learning opportunities through
the creation of groups and group assignments
Include parameters to require posting to other’s
discussion posts
14. Theory
1. Learners try to choose the best
feasible option, but they sometimes
don’t succeed
2. Learners care (in part) about how
their circumstances compare to
reference points
3. Learners care about the actions,
intentions, and payoffs of others
Practical Application
1. Use some structure and guidance in
learning – not just informal
2. Use progress meters in learning
3. Use leaderboards and other
gamification elements in learning
LEARNER
As Investor
15. SITUATED Learning
Use examples that relate to the learner's experience
so they can understand the new concepts better
Know your target audience and integrate examples
that they would understand
Encourage reflection and discussion to integrate
real life examples
16. GENERATIVE Learning
Generate something new with the associate’s
learning – i.e. have learners create something
Encouraging audio and video learner
reflections in discussion
Including short and long form text based
responses in quiz questions
17. RETRIEVAL Learning
Learn how to take out as well as put in memory, after about 10
minutes ask questions to promote cognition to learn
Using release conditions and intelligent agents to send content
or ask questions at appropriate time and encourage retrieval
at the point of forgetting
Including formative assessments that allow learners to
practice as much as possible (self-assessments, surveys)
Avoid high stakes summative testing
18. SPACED Learning
Learn something then just as you are about to forget it, learn it
again (ask question)
Using release conditions to release content in a spaced pattern
Open quiz at appropriate time and set intelligent agent to bring
learners back to quiz
19. ENDOWMENT
Effect A sense of ownership makes a
big difference to how we think
and act.
A sense of ownership is at the
heart of the engagement
problem.
When we say learners are
hard-to-engage, what we really
mean is that we don’t know
how to get learners to take
ownership of new behaviors
and learning outcomes.
21. INTERLEAVED Learning
The human brain likes contrast:
Instead of learning as AAAA BBBB, do ABABABABA
The student may feel they are getting confused but they are
actually learning better
Break up content and contrast with other concepts
Integrate varied topics in games
22. SYNTHESIS
Have learners put concepts together to
synthesize learning and integrate to their own
experience and knowledge
Consider using a story told from an individual’s
perspective to show how the content applies to the big
picture and contextualizes the program for the learner –
this could be in video, reading material or gamified
format
Using discussion points to encourage reflection
for learners
Interspersing assignments to encourage
reflection and connection for learners
Using audio and video feedback to reinforce
the connection for learners
23. Key takeaways for application in D2L
• Release conditions and intelligent agents to provide
spaced content appropriate to learner
• Audio and Video feedback in rubrics to provide learning
feedback at scale
• Discussion points to encourage reflections
How to videos:
• Rubrics
• Discussions
• Intelligent Agents
• Release Condition – quiz content award
