EdTech, or Educational Technology, refers to the use of technology to support and enhance teaching and learning. It can be a useful tool for educators by assisting to engage students, personalize learning, keep them safe and improve student outcomes. When it comes to the instructional methods and tools we use in our classrooms, there are several goals that educators may have in mind when selecting them. Therefore, knowing the types of technology available and the benefits of each is important. There are a variety of tools that have features promoting accessibility.

Design-by-Analogy (DbA) is a design methodology, wherein new solutions are generated in a target domain based on inspiration drawn from a source domain through cross-domain analogical reasoning [1, 2, 3]. DbA is an active research area in engineering design and various methods and tools have been proposed to support the implement of its process [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Studies have shown that DbA can help designers mitigate design fixation [9] and improve design ideation outcomes [10]. Fig.1 presents an example of DbA applications [11]. This case aims to solve an engineering design problem: How might we rectify the loud sonic boom generated when trains travel at high speeds through tunnels in atmospheric conditions [11, 12]? For potential design solutions to this problem, engineers explored structures in other design fields than trains or in the nature that effectively "break" the sonic-boom effect. When looking into the nature, engineers discovered that kingfisher birds could slice through the air and dive into the water at extremely high speeds to catch prey while barely making a splash. By analogy, engineers re-designed the train's front-end nose to mimic the geometry of the kingfisher's beak. This analogical design reduced noise and eliminated tunnel booms.

Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow (Deep Learning for Health Trajectory Perdiction) The full-time fixed term post is available until 31st March 2023 (approximately 3 years). You will work with the Principal Investigator (Dr Leandro Pecchia), the project partners and the Warwick GATEKEEPER team for the successful execution of the project.

The level of appointment (Research or Senior Research Fellow) will be determined by the successful candidate--s skills and experience, including a proven ability and achievement in research and the ability to generate external funding to support research projects.

Artificial intelligence has gone far beyond a simple buzzword. Experimentation in a wide variety of use cases is everywhere. However, most companies are not yet adopting AI across the enterprise at scale, says Martin Sokalski, Principal, Advisory, Emerging Technology Risk Services at KPMG. "A lot of our clients ask how they can get to scale with AI," he explains. "They don't know how to bridge the gap." A big issue, he explains, is a lack of trust and transparency.

In a well-worn cliché, data is often referred to as "the new oil". The analogy is limited, but it does have some truth to it as data -- like oil -- is the defining resource for a new industrial age. Likewise, data seems set to be dominated by a small number of massive global players. For organisations hoping to become pioneers in artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics, scale confers significant competitive advantages. Bigger companies will be better placed to build the bigger data sets that enable more sophisticated analysis to be performed more quickly.
