360* Immersive Blended Webinar: AI Turing Test 15/03/2024

This is an Insta 360* VR camera recording of the Bournemouth University Conference on 29 Feb. 2024. As a pilot study we are working on improving our model. For example, in some sections of the presentation the sound quality can be improved. We will be adding captions and a Teams recording soon. Please do email Dr Anthony ‘Skip’ Basiel at abasiel@gmail.com with any questions or opportunities to collaborate in research.

Yours, Anthony

Future of collaboration 08/03/2024

IVY EXEC Research Studies

I was asked by IVY Research Studies what I thought was the future of collaboration. What do you think of my predictions below?

The future of collaboration

The future of collaboration will evolve through the convergence of a range of hand-held and wearable mobile devices informed by UX accessibility principles and social media theory. Multi-modal and immersive blended collaborative spaces will be inclusive. Some trends to look out for in the next 3 to 5 years are:

– single login for cross platform utilisation

– enhancements in multi-media input and output

– personal drones to promote walking collaboration meetings

– the integration of AI generators in personalisation of collaborative spaces

– advancements in the use of templates for collaboration events e.g. brainstorming

– 3D webinar circles blended with face-to-face events

Journal Publication Reviewer Recognition 10/02/2024

BP International Publishers at https://www.bookpi.org/

have given me a certificate as one of their reviewers for a book entitled:
Progress in Language, Literature and Education Research. The chapter was called: ‘Designing the simulation learning environment: An active engagement model.’ This article explores models of debriefing for healthcare learning simulations. You may want to see my R&D at https://abasiel.uk/awards/ .

Online Business Learning Simulation: UX Analysis 01/02/2024

The objective of this project is to conduct a user experience (UX) analysis and usability test to measure the impact on the Solent University Business School students playing the GoVenture Entrepreneur online business learning simulation (see https://www.goventure.net/en ). Through a 5-part Sprint UX methodology, the Computing Students research, design and develop high fidelity prototypes from the pain points of the website and simulation. A variety of UX tests are done using both user-centred and task-centred design methods. Please contact Dr Anthony ‘Skip’ Basiel on abasiel@gmail.com for the results of the case study, or if you are interested in the follow-up publication. We are also interested in research collaboration opportunities.

Blended Learning Solutions Podcast & the L&T CHATSHOW 03/01/2024

Happy New Year 2024!

With the new year comes opportunities to try new things. I was invited to be a guest speaker for the L&T CHATSHOW podcast in December ’23. You can now hear my conversation with Roger Saunders, from DMU, at:

This year’s focus will be “Digitally Transformed Education: Are We There Yet?” as a continuation from the IFIP TC3 OCCE 2021 DTEL Tampere, Finland conference theme, “Digital transformation of educational and learning – past, present and future”.

Workshop:
Transforming 360* Immersive Webinar Design to Promote Interactivity: Synthesising Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence Agents

Webinar to be set with the Klaxoon – our research partners!

Please email abasiel@gmail.com to get on the VIP online audience.

This interactive workshop is composed of two parts:
First, a group of experts critically review the conference theme: “Digitally Transformed Education: Are We There Yet?”  Each from their own perspective and technological backgrounds. This round-table discussion uses a blended learning model to take advantage of augmented reality 360* immersive video along with webinar text chat tools and a ‘multi-cam’ innovative set-up. This process is supported by a Local Facilitator using a Socratic discussion circle design to promote engagement with the face-to-face and virtual audience.

The second stage of the workshop involves a new version of the Turing Test, where the audience has opportunities to ask the ‘experts’ questions to determine which of the online speakers is human, and which is an artificial intelligence agent. Participants will vote and discuss their reasoning. This gamification approach to the workshop adds to the engagement of the stakeholders. The results of this case study will be used for academic publications.

See a video of Socrates explaining how we will use a Socratic discussion circle in the workshop at my YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/shorts/OYTQ3LhD1mg?feature=share or click the image below.
