Education

Various data technologies and automated approaches can assist with teaching and assessment, but care is needed to develop tools and practices that value and support the human learning experience, at the same time as optimising for efficiency and accuracy. For instance, introductory-level statistics and data science students need to learn how to identify and produce short written communications (including code) that are statistically and computationally sound. However, there are challenges to designing and implementing effective formative assessment of student writing and coding when courses involve hundreds or thousands of students, and scalable methods of support are needed. This talk will present pedagogical and technological explorations for developing tools that support “real time” and large-scale formative assessment of writing (including code), as well as plans for further research involving the integration of statistical pairwise-comparison ranking models and NLP algorithms.

  • Creating custom quarto templates
    Rob Hyndman, Monash University +

    I will describe several quarto templates we have made for use at Monash University to create presentations, working papers, theses, exams, slides, reports, memos, and letters. These help make our outputs look professional and consistent. They are relatively easy to make if you know a little LaTeX (for pdf output) or CSS (for html output). More advanced customization is possible with the help of Lua. I will show how you can easily adapt our quarto templates to other organizations, and how to make your own templates from scratch.
