Cognitive education framework for cyber security: A collaborative community approach aligning to tenets of Ako
Get PDFCognitive education is based on the studies of the mind and brain focusing on acquiring, developing and applying cognitive processes to realize qualified learning. It hinges on experience of the learner, and the tutor, about the specific subject being learnt, knowledge of the academic environmental restrictions, provision of peer and tutor support and the inherent drive of the tertiary learner to acquire and assimilate knowledge based on his or her specific needs. These tenets of effective learning align perfectly with the principles of Ako, a Māori concept implying simultaneous learning and teaching. Cognitive education is a recognized blended, inter-disciplinary approach to education and the present research picks upon its core principles while developing a methodology for teaching Cyber Security to tertiary level students. The methodology also aims at enhancing authentic learning through promoting the use of open-ended enquiry, thinking skills and metacognition in adopting a personalized, scenario based approach to learn. The present approach relates to the tenets of Ako, and in specific on tuakana teina, mahi-tahi and Whakawhanaungatanga. The objective in cyber security education is to impart students with life skills in combating cyber hygiene concerns, learning defensive and offensive techniques to combat internal and external threats to cyber environments, and appreciating risk emanating from increased exposure to cyber assets. The research bases its recommendations on the analysis of 18 months of student and peer feedback and review of results of students at graduate and post graduate level at Wintec. The initial observations in the research help identify voids in “affects” factor of student learning, while proposing group-work and continuance of personalized scenario based learning as a recommended approach. It also adopts the use of social platforms to assess/engage millennial students and recommending work integrated learning and inquiry based learning concepts in teaching cyber security concepts
‘The Hellenic Mile’- Greek culinary influence on Wellington, New Zealand presentation plus paper in proceedings
Get PDFThis paper arises from personal experience of living in Wellington for nearly 20 years, in Newtown, an inner-city suburb with many migrant families, was easy; the Greek culinary influence on Wellington’s food suppliers, cafés and restaurants. As a secondary teacher, some of my students were the daughters of fish and chip shop owners, a few of whom, in Newtown, proudly sold jars of stuffed vine leaves and tins of olives. There were a few Greek restaurants in the 1980’s when I lived there, but my research opened up a new awareness of how significant this influence had been

The social lives of grass: Untaming the urban exhibition
No full text"The Social Lives of Grass" (2018) by Dr. Jeremy Mayall and Sebastian J. Lowe
The Social Lives of Grass was filmed on the 28 March, 2018, in and around the city of Kirikiriroa/Hamilton in Aotearoa/New Zealand. We filmed over 20 different types of grass in both urban and non-urban environments, in an attempt to capture the importance of grass as a focal point (nexus) to all life, human or otherwise. We have focused not only on what grasses sound like, but what goes on audibly around the grasses, that is to say, their ‘social lives’. The human ear has the ability to focus in on individual sounds within an acoustic context, for example, we can sit beside a river and shift our focus between the sounds of the river to the birds in the trees, or we can walk into a crowded room and differentiate individuals from within the collective body of human voices. As we move through the world, our perceptions change and sounds as we know them are fleeting. This is especially relevant in our quickly changing world, where we are becoming more and more inundated with human-induced sound signatures that affect, for better or for worse, the relationships between ourselves and our environment(s). Our film offers listeners an audible ‘snapshot’ into sound fabrics that comprise our city of Kirikiriroa/Hamilton. If we take the time to consciously listen to what is going on around us, we are able to acknowledge and strengthen our understanding of what it means to be part of our shared world

light - movement - sound
This show is an abstract exploration of the concept of pressure set in the environment of the black box. Utilising various lighting techniques and technologies, supported with ultra crisp 16 speaker surround sound, you will be transported into an audio-visual experience unlike any other at The Meteor. This production endeavours to create a world that delves into the interrelationships between sound, time, space, and the human experience.
Aaron Chesham (ACLX) (light) and Jeremy Mayall (music) have collaborated together on various projects over the years, and this new production allows them to refine some of the concepts they have been developing throughout their creative work. For this new work, 'preSHər, they are fortunate to also work with the skills, talents and creativity of Ben Mannell (sound design) and Hannah McFarlane (movement).

Immersive experiences blur the traditional line of “look but do not touch” models of art. Immersive experiences create a space where sound, light and visual come together to create a sensory experience. Audiences become part of the experience rather than observers, they become immersed in the creative world. This installation is exploring Matariki through abstract artworks, lighting and sound. The installation will take audiences on a journey exploring what Matariki means to us.

Mum's kitchen: Workshop performance
No full textThree brothers gather back at their family farm – it’s the first time in fifteen years they’ve been home together. Their mother has passed away. For Frederick, it’s a painful step into the past; Martin is happy to be back, but also ready to move on; Reuben has looked after the farm since Dad died, and it is the only world he knows. Mum’s Kitchen is the story of three brothers dealing with memories of the past, their relationships with each other, and the tense and fraught process of organising a funeral.
Showcasing the extraordinary vocal talents of international star Nic Kyle and leading New Zealand singers Kyle Chuen and Scot Hall, Mum’s Kitchen is a one-act musical written by David Sidwell, Nick Braae, and Jeremy Mayall. The first performances of this original piece will cover the first half of the narrative from the brothers’ arrival up to the day of the funeral, entailing the tension, drama, and humour that emerges within this time.
