The document provides a lesson plan on using will versus be going to for talking about the future, including objectives to learn how to correctly use will and be going to and strengthen speaking ability. It includes warm-up questions about dreams for the future, examples sentences with will and be going to, and links to practice exercises and a sample conversation using will and be going to.
Assessment in he_online_webinar1
This document summarizes an online course about assessment in higher education. The 6-week course will address topics like designing assignment tasks, providing student support, developing marking criteria, and using feedback. Each week will pose a discussion question and require a task. Students will use a WordPress blog, documents, and webinars. The introductory webinar covered introductions, participation methods, and an overview of the course format and topics. Students were asked to share details about themselves and why they joined. The instructor posed additional questions to spark further discussion.
How To Ask A Good Question
The document provides tips for asking good questions. It advises the reader to be specific about the problem, provide any relevant code samples and error messages, and ask focused questions rather than just expecting others to debug vague issues. Well-worded questions that clearly explain the problem are more likely to receive a fast response. The document also includes additional resources for learning how to ask high-quality questions.

The document provides instructions and announcements for a student project. It outlines the project requirements, including topics being 20% of the grade, problems as 20%, data collection as 20%, and presentation skills as 20%. It schedules class locations for upcoming days and agendas which include introducing projects, searching for information online, and revising topics. Students are asked to submit work sheets online and provide brief presentations of their topics. Guidelines are given for choosing proper, extendable, and questionable topics. Students are also tasked with asking one question each to other groups.
Ss how 2_study
The document provides tips for passing a math class, including reading textbooks, attending every class, doing homework, taking good notes, studying from notes, and using exam strategies. It suggests that to get an A, students should teach others, use practice tests before exams, make flashcards, avoid cramming, and get enough sleep before tests. The key is finding time to do all the components, as failing to "study smart" is why most students fail or withdraw from math courses.
Twitter
This document provides guidance and suggestions for teachers looking to use Twitter as a professional learning and networking tool. It lists influential education Twitter accounts to follow, tasks for setting up and using an account such as setting a profile, following others, retweeting, and joining in online discussions.

The presentation also notes key differences in purpose, format, and language between the two styles of writing.
Essay Writing
This document provides guidance on essay writing structure and format. It discusses introducing a topic and thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The body should include multiple paragraphs with a topic sentence, proofs, and comment for each point that proves the thesis. A concluding paragraph should restate the thesis and return to a general perspective. An optional rebuttal paragraph can acknowledge alternative arguments. Outlines should include the thesis, rebuttal points, topic sentences, proofs, and conclusion. Body paragraphs should be organized logically using principles like chronology or cause and effect. The document concludes with tips for writing strong essays like avoiding first person and contractions.
Technical Writing
The document provides guidelines for writing progress reports, including using a transitional introduction to relate the present report to previous ones, presenting information in the body of the report either chronologically or logically with figures and tables to support facts, and ending with a conclusion that gives more details and looks ahead to spur action or anticipate completion. Progress reports aim to present information about work done on a particular project for a given period of time.
Research report ppt
The document provides guidance on preparing and presenting a research report. It discusses that a research report communicates the purpose, scope, objectives, methodology, findings, limitations and recommendations of a research project.

It emphasizes that a report must be well-organized, easy to follow and written objectively to accurately present the research.
Qualities of good technical writing with examples

Talking Points
Think of the last time you sat in a presentation. Did you find yourself nodding off or were you engaged? Days later, could you recall the primary elements or just a blur of bullet points? As Information Professionals there are many opportunities to meet learning needs, but often we lack the communication skills necessary to deliver them. This session will offer techniques for structuring your talks for the key message, the venue, and most importantly, the audience. Whether you are teaching new students how to use electronic resources or pitching an idea to your supervisor, your attendance ensures a more confident, relaxed approach to delivering presentations and public speaking.

1. Apply the broad, systemic ADDIE method of Instructional Design (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) to any informational or motivational talk
2. Implement the latest trends in presentation methods after analyzing techniques from modern communications thought-leaders
3. Connect with audience members so that they retain not only the primary message, but see results from your objectives
