. Specifically, two of the authors sought toconduct research related to the development and assessment of augmented reality as aninstructional technology to improve student learning. Understanding the many facets ofconducting research on instructional technologies was best suited to a cohesive training program.Therefore, the primary author chose to complete a 6-month continuing education program inInstructional Design and Technology at his home institution. The program consisted of fourasynchronous courses that were scheduled around the authors' existing work obligations. Inaddition, two of the authors participated in a number of networking and faculty developmentworkshops hosted by their institution's Department of Academic Technologies. The

? A. Search laterally for Source A: B. Search laterally for Source B: C. After searching laterally, which source seems the most credible? If your answer changes from the vertical search, why? If it’s the same, how does this justify your previous stance? 3. Briefly state the difference between vertical and lateral reading. How might using a combination of both impact your future research techniques?Question 1 requires that students first apply criteria from the CRAAP test for evaluation of bothsources. They should practice valuable techniques such as checking publication dates, references,grammar, and so forth. In this way, students get practice in vertical reading, helping
gamesare too difficult or expensive to use. For this purpose, the board game Markopoly was designed to aid in the teaching ofdiscrete-time Markov chains in a junior-level industrial engineering class, ProbabilisticOperations Research (POR). Markov chains represent a form of mathematics and a way oflooking at the world that most of the students have never seen before, and many of them strugglewith the concepts – how to use them, what the different statistics mean, and which ones to use inwhich situations. Markopoly was designed to help guide students through the concepts usingmore open-ended questions than is typical for a class assignment. Four different versions of thegame were played in class by groups of two to five players, and then
experiences and observations, this paper delves into crucial strate-gies for success in teaching, research, and service, offering essential principles to guide new facultymembers toward a successful start in academia. The paper discusses strategies for teaching acrossvarious undergraduate levels, establishing and cultivating research groups within undergraduate-focused programs, and actively engaging in service roles within the academic community. Addi-tionally, it emphasizes the importance of advising, mentorship, self-care, and achieving work-lifebalance, particularly with regard to the unique experiences and challenges faced by female facultymembers. By providing practical tools, resources, and best practices, this paper aims to empowernew faculty

best practices in writing scholarly work will be presented that canbe used to avoid improper and inappropriate use of materials. The checklist will ensure properprocedure is followed. In a collaborative paper or proposal, all authors will review and followthese guidelines. The appropriateness of the use of one's previous work and the limitations willalso be discussed.Introduction:Scholarly works generally pertain to formal research created by experts within a particular field,intended for an audience of fellow scholars, and often involve a systematic approach toinvestigation and formal presentation through avenues such as academic journals, conferences,and books. It is a critical aspect of academic life. It's a challenge for graduate students

student perception study was proposed toexamine the impact of continuing HyFlex instruction, and preliminary results from the spring2022 semester are presented here. The proportion of students trying to balance school and other obligations is substantial.The National Center for Education Statistics estimates that in 2020, 40% of full-time and 74% ofpart-time undergraduate students are employed, with 10% and 40% working 35 hours or moreeach week, respectively [1]. According to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, 22% ofundergraduates are parents. Approximately 70% of these are mothers, 62% of whom are singleparents [2]. Approximately 44% of student parents also work full time and around half drop outof school without getting a degree
the fall of 2021 we formed a community of practice (CoP) for lab and designinstructors at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign [9]. While building this CoP, weleveraged the Networked Improvement Communities (NICs) framework to facilitate members(instructors) from different contexts (departments, class sizes, student levels) collaborating ondeveloping best practices across all courses toward a shared goal: improving college lab courseexperiences for instructors and students. The NICs are both learning and design communitiesgrounded in the idea of “learning through doing” [10]. NICs and members are guided by severalstructuring agents: (1) common targets and ambitious measurable goals, (2) a mapped problemspace and shared language, and (3
progressively striving for sustainable development.Consequently, industries, including engineering, manufacturing, and design, have adoptedsustainability practices [2]. Particularly manufacturing industries are becoming ever moreconcerned with environmental issues as modern socio-economic systems depend heavily on themsince it greatly impacts worldwide development and progress. This trend is anticipated to continuebecause of the increased demand for consumer products from a growing global population withrising living standards [3]. Hence they now consider the link between production processes andthe environment a key consideration when making decisions [2]. And implementing sustainablemanufacturing techniques inside a company may help it become more
