This study describes the initial development process for an automated support system for designing high-quality online assessments. We identify key elements to embed in this digital artifact to offer just-in-time support for educators to design and evaluate their online assessments. We follow a design science approach in six stages, because it simultaneously generates knowledge about the method used to develop the artifact and the design of the artifact itself. Specifically, we focus on the early stages of problem identification, solution objectives, and initial conceptual design. After reviewing multiple assessment models and frameworks, we discuss a recent framework for evaluating and designing high-quality online assessments, consisting of ten design and contextual elements. This framework underpins the proposed solution which is a digital artifact that encourages consideration of alternate forms of assessment while retaining the flexibility to operate within individual educators' design practices and contexts. We expect the proposed system to help educators and instructional designers to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of their assessments, consider alternate forms of assessment, and incorporate the system into their assessment design process. 2023-07-20T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/179620 Title: An information behaviour exploration of personal and family information and curation of our life histories Authors: Narayan, B; Zijlema, A; Reyes, V; Kennan, MA Abstract: <jats:p>Introduction. Family stories and life histories are often shared among household and family members via oral and written communication, family traditions, and many other information practices. We explore these practices through the lens of information behaviour. Method. This study uses first-hand reports of such family information practices. We use collaborative autoethnography through a narrative methodology for creating rich understandings of information practices within families. Analysis. The first-hand self-reports from the four authors/researchers from four different countries are analysed using a narrative analysis method. Results. Although each author describes the process of gathering and preserving their personal and family history differently, they all consciously or unconsciously defaulted to the role of information holders and occasionally gatekeepers of personal information within their families, especially as the previous generation age, suffer memory loss, or pass away. Conclusion. Family events such as holidays, celebrations, funerals, and other spaces in which members come together, serve as boundaries of our information worlds, or as information grounds. However, the tension between traditional and digital documentation and communication methods within families, the digital divide, and globally dispersed families can lead to intergenerational information loss.</jats:p> http://hdl.handle.net/10453/179600 Title: International climate financing and just energy transition: Exploring the synergies Authors: Swarnakar, P; Shukla, R 2023-09-11T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/179596 Title: Energy transition and dialectics: tracing discursive resistance to coal through discourse coalition in India Authors: Shukla, R; Swarnakar, P Abstract: The hegemonic narrative linking coal to national sovereignty and energy security promoted by state and private actors, translates into policies promoting coal expansionism. The study is based on the proposition that the counter-discourse offered by non-state actors, mainly environmental civil society organization, represents a potential challenge against such narrative. The dialectical discursive dynamics around energy transition are explored within India’s print media by employing the method of Discourse Network Analysis to trace the dominant storylines and discourse coalitions. The findings reveal two opposed storylines, one pro-coal the other anti-coal, underpinning the two ideologically cohesive discourse coalitions dominated by state and non-state actors, respectively. It uncovers the ideological fault lines between the two sets of actors, with the possibilities for synthesis and policy co-learning. The paper concludes by deriving implications regarding post pandemic challenges and possibilities emerging for both the sets of actors. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
