Online (out-of-class) Content o Start early – creating digital content takes much longer than writing notes on a board. You will need to re-record audio or video files multiple times. Consider transitioning to a flipped classroom over multiple semesters, if desired. o Provide additional scaffolding since material will be viewed asynchronously. o Design your own content to fit your teaching style and your course objectives. o Audio quality is paramount. Find a quiet place to record and invest in a good microphone, if possible. Practice speaking level, distance from device, speed and enunciation. 2.

It is evident that the British were very slow to realise the practicalpossibilities of scientific discoveries. For example it took forty years for Faraday’sdiscoveries to be realised in the dynamo. Lilley cites the case of the synthetic dye industrywhere British discoveries were taken over by the Germans and a large chemical industryestablished. One of the reasons given for this was the academic attainment of and the largenumbers of people working with appropriate qualifications in German industry [9, p61 ff].But writes Lilley, the origins of German pre

In their book chapter onthe use of personal narratives as an analytical research tool, Tedder and Biesta write: “Narrativesthus reveal why it was necessary [...] the life had gone in a particular way. This means thatnarration is not only about the construction of a particular ‘version’ of one’s life; it is at the sametime a construction of a particular ‘version’ of the self” [41]. In rewriting his prior idealistic self,Corvin may be revealing a discomfort he currently feels about the changes he has undergoneduring his four years of college. As a senior, he has a good job lined up with a company and isexcited about doing work that he feels is important and interesting. Yet he is not directlychanging the world by working in clean

Teachers work by a daily structure with detailed lesson plans, periodsand bell schedules meeting prescribed local, state or national standards. In turn, the RETprogram provided a much more detailed schedule with activities and tasks to be carried outduring the day (e.g., reading research papers for 1 hour followed by 30 minutes discussion) withsome flexibility to be carried out at the teachers’ discretion.Defining lesson plans versus research findings.

The scholars pressed that this distinctionis crucial to avoid conflating the broader research experience with the specific activities carriedout in a research laboratory setting [19]. Such insights underscore the importance of recognizingthat research experiences can encompass various activities beyond traditional lab work,contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the research landscape thatundergraduates navigate.MethodsThe approach used in this study employed

supportable, aninteresting contradiction emerges. Despite the fact that it should be easier, and arguably morevalid, to compare programs than universities, the authors found significantly fewer studies and orsystems to do so. Notably, some high volume programs, such as the MBA, have engendereddisciplinary based comparison/ranking schemes [15], but there are considerably fewer of thesethan there are of university comparisons [16, 17]. One possible reason for this might be a lack ofconsensus as to the metrics used to evaluate programs. Leaders in our various fields of studyseem to have difficulty in reaching a consensus on criteria and how to create a ranking systemfor their discipline. This challenge is direct evidence of the fundamental observation

Moss and Yeaton define remediation as a practice that isguided by learning theory and includes non-credit courses that address fundamental skills thatstudents lack that is determined by college placement examinations.25 Alternatively, per Mossand Yeaton, developmental education considers the life experiences of the students in addition totheir entering skill level. Developmental education emphasizes the need for students to becomeindependent and have self-regulation in their learning, rather than focusing on a deficitperspective of education, as is the case with remediation.
