The Idealized Design model proposed by Ackoff,allows the participants to establish the existing gaps between reality and their ideal modeland begin to co-create projects focused on eventually achieving those goals, planning in theshort, middle and long term. They are also asked to do a subsequent exercise ofprioritization of objectives to know which are the most important for the actors as a group.The final outcome of STW#2 is another set of agreements among stakeholders on the mostimportant variables to be addressed through any proposed project.STW#3The third social transformation workshop STW # 3, “Critical Systems

learningand also assists the Center with its assessment needs.The Assessment Partners program entails three stages. First, faculty partners identify theSLO that most closely aligns with their course learning objectives. They agree to createan assessment for that SLO in their course through an assignment aligned closely with therubric (exam question(s), project, assignment, etc.) that they can easily share with SLSCenter. A Center staff member meets with each faculty partner to review the assignmentand ensure that it will work well with the rubric. Student work products for multiplecourses aligned with a particular SLO are then scored by a team of SLS staff and facultypartners collaboratively, using the rubric (faculty do not score the work of their

For these reasons, and because the LSI has not really been used inthis area, we have decided to adopt the LSI as the learning style assessment tool.2.5 Criticism of cognition and learning stylesWang and others looked into the correlation between Biggs’ constructive alignment and how itaffected students’ learning approaches.

Digital techniques were introduced in 1993 to accommodate the hugeboom in subscribers of portable telephone service in the mid 90’s. Cellular communicationssystems evolved from providing voice in the mid 90’s (2nd generation or 2G) to all-IP dataservices that are available since 2011 (4G). Advanced mobile broadband and real-time controlwill be enabled by future 5G systems. Wireless systems that provide personal andmachine-to-machine communications currently constitute a major research area of vitalimportance.Telecommunication
