Bridging Borders with Luhmann: A Multilingual COIL Course on AI, Law, Education, and Society

Awesome. Yeah. Oh, okay. Uh, thank you very much Prana and thank you very much uh everyone for being here and I say hello to my colleague Arthur Dilva Stanford who is uh joining us from Refe Brazil. Thank you very much for being with us today and uh we are going to present a project that we developed uh at the beginning of this year uh related with a multilingual coil course. Uh then um all the slides are already on the slack on the okay on the on the application then if you are interested you can find it find it there. Okay. First of all um what is a coil? A coil is a um way of teaching. The name is collaborative online international learning and it's a high impact teaching and learning methodology that started exactly during the coh time and now it's a very welldeveloped in different universities around the world. Uh the objectives of a call is a connected students and professors across countries, cultures and institutions. Uh with the idea of encourage projectbased team oriented and intercultural collaboration. Erh the coil combines synchronous and uh asynchronous online interaction and supports multilingual and multiddisciplinary exchange focuses on shared learning goals not just joint eer content. Then a coil is not a course about international internationalization. It's a course that leaves it. And I think this is the most e important at least for us. Why borderless learning? Okay. because um these course uh were organized between three countries uh Colombia, Brazil and Mexico and in two languages in Portuguese and in Spanish across three different disciplines social sciences in general sociology and law. Okay. And we were working with with the graduate students co-creating across time zones uh students from master degree and PhD uh and we built on their open pedagogy and multilingual collaboration. Okay. Um um what is a coil course? What this co was about? The title of the course was algorithms, social systems and decisions and the participants were students from the univers in Mexico which is my university federal pero in Brazil which is the university of Arthur who is with us here today and universal who is another author of this project he and join us today. Okay. And in and in the general information is that this was a virtual synchronous and asynchronous course uh that run ran through February February 19 to June 18 of this year. And at the at the end there were 24 students that completed the course uh over 45 contact hours. Yes, contact hours. Okay. we uh we were working in a pedagogical framework um in um with the different um states or or principles. First of all, we were working weekly with a synchronous session every Wednesday during one semester. It was very hard and h with in two languages with a multilingual facilitation in Spanish and Portuguese. People who speak Spanish only speak Spanish and Portuguese only speak Portuguese. And as the languages are pretty close and pretty similar, we made our best in order to try to understand [laughter] everybody. Okay. The platforms that we use, we use a lot of platform platforms but mainly we use a synchron for the a synchronous collaboration we use uh for developing the oer we we made it in GitHub and we use zoom of course and sautero among others that I'm going to explain later on and as the final project for the students were to write a size or thesis chapters or o collaborations all open available in with um create common licenses. The thing that I'm going to present today is the the the OAR collaborations that the students developed al together. Okay. Um um the results is made the results is made available through an OEAR which was developed in collaboration between students and lecturers from different countries, languages and disciplines. And this this was the connect the the content. Uh first of all you can find um the uh the introduction a web page which is the the introduction and uh this is the entry point to all project materials in a bilingual navigation and this is a update version of this OAR h this is the fourth h iteration of this OAR is the different students but the students that work before with this OAR were were undergrad graduate students and now we start to to work with with the graduate postgrad postgraduate students then in the QR code you can link the different parts of the of the OAR okay then the other part is that you can find where you can find the credits all students and faculty from Mexico Brazil and and Colombia were identified and were visible authorship on the website with open acknowledgement of all erh contributions and um erh as part of I don't know to to try to identify where where we were from uh uh we have the community and map with an interactive participant map built with the student data and visualiz visualizing learning as a network in this map uh which is interactive you can see uh that although the students were enrolled at these three universities h the participan students reside or they they are from different Latin American countries. H all the points that you can find in this map is the different countries that the people join to this uh coil. Uh h they receive in different Latin American countries with one even in the USA and another in Italy. Then we can say that it's a like a it was like a global course um rolled by three universities. Okay. Which ones were the tools that we use and the infrastructure that we used to develop this um uh um this OAR? Uh we use um mainly open tools to build a crossborder learning. First of all uh we use GitHub uh as a side back end. Then in in in the disc code you can find all the repository uh where is made all this o and the repository is open and if you want to use this I don't know to clone and to make your your own course or just just to give some ideas you can join to the to the repository that is in um in um is is in a github and h is made under the beautiful jacquel er erh platforms. Okay. Then this was like a the the the main the main part is this. Then I okay I don't know I I make like a problem here. Okay. Let me oh okay. Um then besides the o uh we uh use an open repository that is cited in zenodo and in this uh in in in this repository you can find all the works that was developed in the course I don't know the different sis the different I don't know the the draft of the chapters of each ties and different ideas mainly the presentations that we use for the course and every single things you can find it here in the in the senodo or open repository for for this coil course. And besides that h we uh have available in this link a created bibliography that is um um uh organized in Sautero in a a public um um collection of Sautero where you can find not only the the bibliography that were used for this course but the different biblography about luminous system theory and all this this uh this topic and besides that there are different tools and uh and the structure that we use all in licensed in creative commons in every one of these um core codes you can find the moral padlet where different person um share their their thoughts a guacal where you can find different resources of internet resources timeline GS uh which is a super interesting timeline of um I don't know the relationships between different um uh philosophic perspective perspective related with lumen's the lumen perspective and the YouTube uh uh collection where you can find all the sessions open available. Okay. Then all these is um these lessons learned help us to uh find um um a collaborator um an intercultural collaboration foster critical thinking and the use of uh different open tools of and platforms like GitHub and empower academic autonomy and let me let me tell you that let people even to be involved with some um um uh digital uh tools because most of them are of mainly of social sciences. The asynchronous and synchronous rhythm was a key for the success and given credit and visibility motivate the participation of different students. the students embrace authorship of sher and and oar um I don't know how is my time but I hope I can just share with you some student voices related with this this project h one of the of the students said said thanks to the course I discovered forms of analysis that I had not considered in my students of governance and justice h other one said I had never participated in a project where I could contribute to an educational website and see my ideas published with credit. They were super happy with this. And um uh another one said, "I interacting with people from different countries and languages helped me understand how the same problem can be interpreted differently depending on the context and this is among different other um voices that you can even find there. Um as final thought thoughts I can say that um the most important thing of this open educational resource is it was a resource developed by ourselves during the course as part of the course and it's a replicable model. We have been developed this with different students and in this case with with undergraduate students with three different countries and two different languages. erh is based on openness, adaptability and care and it's a multilingual open education possible and um okay then the only thing that I can say is thank you and then let's stay connected and I don't know there you can find um I don't know my my connection and I'm here if you wanted to make some comments or ideas to share we we will be happy to answer yes >> thanks Rosario, that was um awesome. And now we're open to questions. Um I will also be putting a um um form in the um in the chat just so uh um the audience can uh give us feedback on how the um how the session went. >> Yes. Um I see that Ryan said that his Spanish is a bit roy no but I think the senos are mostly linked. Yes, in the course. Yes, every single thing is is there. The thing that you can see when you open the the main uh web I don't know if there's a bit of time probably I can share the um the oh the project is is this is is a is the the web page. Then you can find here the kursi. This is the because here in project in projectos you can find another projects of other students in in the the the three beginning parts but coily here you can find the different ideas that were developed by students. Uhhuh. we have a different professors that were invited uh uh to talk with our students and here for example you can find I don't know the um people who participate and uh on the this interactive map where you can see where people uh were based or just um for example in this case um um bibliography it is here and you can find it and the biblioraphy in in this case is link it through the collection of sautero through this tool which name is base and the only thing that we make is to to copy the link here and you can find here all the bibliography and you can organize it I don't know by in in in different ways for example by year by author or by type I don't know there's a lot of uh resources here that you can find and and the the senodo collection is connected here too. The the Yes. Uhhuh. The senod repository is here link it. You can get here to the to the different resources that we have here. Yep. Mhm. Yes. And um I don't know if uh >> yeah that was great. Um I'm just monitoring the chat. >> Uh no questions so far, but um if there are questions, people um can just feel free to unmute and um ask the question. Yes, I I can like share the the the resource in general. uh the the the o has the fourth uh number because it's the fourth interaction that we have with different students and all is related with um with the lumen's theory and you know this is this is important because um okay I'm a professor of of sociology like the professor Arthur uh all of us are a sociologist and you know uh illuman is a very difficult uh philosopher know it's really difficult to read him and to try to involve people then in this way it's it's um I don't know it's a different ideas in order to try to keep the attention of students and try to I don't know learning at the same time that they are doing somethingh and I don't know it's a little bit more difficult because lumen is kind of abstract but with the with the um with this kind of tools we made a great great um I don't ideas. I don't know, Arthur, if you want to share something in Portuguese and I can translate your your ideas. >> No, I don't know. Uh for me the more importance for this course is uh distinct professors uh speaking about the same same issues same time and many students uh try to observe and understand uh how different prophets would uh understand or observe in this teaching uh how can I say in different way uh the the point of view uh discusses more about the artificial intelligence in actuality how it could be observed by uh system theory uh in many students is in Finnish this course uh understand better how can develop research about these ideas it's for me is so important in in this course Mexico and Colombia and Brazil uh discourse and develop research about this point of view it's very interesting for me >> yes and the most important thing is the the I don't know the distance and the language there are no barrier no we we were together with this and we can we could build a project together and I don't know an o uh with the collaboration of the students. Yeah. I I I think that someone shared a link of the web page. Yes, it's it's over there. and and I don't know if uh you have any comment or some suggestion uh or I don't know some idea to add to this kind of projects. Yeah. So, we've got about four minutes left folks. So, if you do have comments or um ideas or questions, uh this is your time. Uh feel free to drop it in the chat or unmute yourself and um and um ask Uh right now ask if did the students have feedback about using GitHub and they did they feel like writing in markdown or whatever was a barrier? Yes, it was kind of we we had to have some uh um extra sessions no to um show them how to do it. Um the thing is that markdown is is easy. No, it's kind of easy. Probably the the different part is No, the difficult part is to see, oh, I'm going to start to uh to write like in another language. But um all of them were super interested in doing and they continue even even today they continue share resources and share things and uh and and some of them are professors even in different universities because they are mainly um master degree or PhD uh students and some of them are interested in try to develop this kind of resources in their own uh educational or ped pedagogical practice. Yes. But it's kind of weird, but it's not really difficult. No. Yes. I think Yeah. Okay. Um Mhm. Not a big one. Just [laughter] Okay, then. Um um if you don't have any more question I think we are run run out of time. Pronab yes >> we have another two minutes uh so we can just hang around and see if anyone's got any last minute question but for now I can stop the recording and uh we can hang around for another couple of minutes.
