Using friend feed for reflection with undergraduatesJo Badge
The document discusses using the social networking site FriendFeed to encourage reflection among undergraduate students. Over the course of 10 weeks, 134 students generated over 5,000 entries and comments on FriendFeed totaling nearly 200,000 words. While engaging with the platform, students were able to learn from each other through social interaction and feedback. Some students continued using FriendFeed for reflection even after the assessment period had ended.

You built it; is any one coming to your website? Are people successfully completing the tasks/goals? Is the website successful in meeting/exceeding the businesses/organizations goals?
Many times, once a website is launched, that's it. Many times, these websites fail at meeting their intended goals. Find out how to gain insight into what's happening with your website, through website analytics, A/B Split testing, memory/navigational tasks and usability tests. This session will include demonstrations of these methods, including an actual live usability test. You won't want to miss this session if your interested in learning how to continually improve your (or your client's) website.
The moon appears to change shapes throughout the month because it orbits Earth, taking one month to complete its cycle. As the moon orbits Earth, different portions are illuminated by the sun, causing the phases from new moon to full moon and back again over four weeks. Demonstrating the moon's orbit around Earth with balls and showing how perspectives of a ball with light on one side appear at different angles helps explain the lunar phases seen from Earth.
Sheffield 'Better by Digital' website improvement project update - 29 October...John Fox
I have lately completed a seven month interim role at Sheffield City Council overseeing the advocacy and day to day management of the council's transition to 'digital by default' customer service delivery. Creating a new website information architecture based on evidence of customer demand and usage of council services, introducing new governance arrangements and the launch of a customer access channel via Twitter, and acting as mentor to existing web manager. This presentation summarised for the council's executive management team the outputs at the end of my engagement.
The document discusses a proposed "plagiarism reference tariff" which would establish standardized penalties for student plagiarism across higher education institutions. An international evaluation project analyzed 155 plagiarism cases from 8 institutions in multiple countries and found that 54% of the penalties matched the proposed tariff. While the tariff aligned with most first-time offenses, there were some cases where the penalties did not match the tariff. The document asks the reader to consider applying the tariff to a past case and discuss situations where it may not be applicable and whether their own institution would adopt such a standardized approach.

Academic integrity is defined as honesty and responsibility in scholarship. Integrity is loosely defined as an adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character and honesty. Together, integrity and academic integrity translates into one’s current and future profession. A student, at any level in scholarship, may experience periods where the feelings of being overwhelmed and stressed are present. Moreover, at the doctorate level, where academic demands are greater for students due to the level of scholarly research and critical thinking involved. While in pursuit of scholarship, it is a fundamental expectation of all students to submit original work and to properly cite or give credit to other’s work.
Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need (Ephesians 4:28, New International Version).
While in the Doctorate of Strategic Leadership (DSL) program, to achieve and maintain academic integrity it is important for me to keep my career goals in mind: 1) to become a well-respected, contributing member of the academic community 2) to lend my expertise as a consultant in strategic leadership to better organizations. Through keeping my career goals in the forefront, I am able to remind myself that the challenging academic assignments and tests in the DSL program will assist me in gaining knowledge of course content and my grades will show how well the goal of knowledge is fully achieved.
In addition to keeping my personal goals in mind, the awareness of Liberty University’s academic integrity and honor codes will assist with my achievement and maintenance of academic integrity while navigating through the DSL program. Universities and colleges pen the requisite of academic integrity and honor codes into syllabus but rarely engage the student in instruction regarding academic misconduct and how it can be avoided. There appears to be an assumption among public and private schools, colleges and universities that students should have an understanding the meaning of academic integrity but few professors explicitly address what plagiarism means and provide explicit examples of plagiarism (Evering & Moorman, 2012).
In this digital age, the avenues by which students access written material and information are limitless. No longer are the days of only performing resea.

Here is a helpful hint on how to go about responding to question 5.
For example let’s say you are asked to determine that the useful lives and salvage values of the computers are reasonable. A possible response would be to inquire about how the useful lives and salvage values of the computers were determined and then compare the estimated useful lives and salvage values of these computers with comparable computers used in other divisions or functional areas of the company.
Extra Credit – True/False (each question is worth 1 point)
1) Most frauds are detected by internal auditors.
2) Evidence from within the company is considered more reliable than evidence obtained from third parties
3) The internal auditor has no role in fraud prevention or detection
4) Confirmation involves examining trends and relationship among financial and non-financial data
5) Expertise within the internal auditing department is a barrier to implementing data analysis technologies

Re:Constructing 10 Strategic Points
Hello Elizabeth-
I am so glad that you worked on this over the weekend and sent it to me in advance. What you have done -- and this happens with a few students every class -- is propose an interesting future study on incivility in higher ed. However, the guidelines for this assignment limit the scope to a replication of the 2007 Clark and Springer study. This means that many of the elements of the 10 Strategic Points (e.g., problem statement, research questions, purpose statement, data colection, data analysis) should be exactly the same as the Week 2 strategic points except with a population of undergraduate psychology students and faculty.
For example, the correct phrasing of the Week 2 problem statement that I provided you was "It is not known what the possible causes and remedies are of incivility in nursing education in a university environment from both student and faculty perspectives." For the Week 5 assignment, you would use the problem statement verbatim but just change "nursing ed.
1. The document discusses the concept of a "permeable web" in legal education, where boundaries between different representations and spaces overlap. It argues for a focus on experiential and transactional learning.
2. It provides examples of simulations and assessments used in different law programs to incorporate professionalism and ethics learning. Key aspects include developing trust and collaboration between students.
3. New frameworks for Scottish legal education aim to put professionalism at the core through collaborative curriculum development and use of simulations.
Chromosome aneuploidy testing during pregnancy has benefits but also limitations. Non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) using cell-free DNA in maternal blood allows safe and easy aneuploidy detection, but has failure rates of 1-8% resulting in false positives. Causes of false positives include maternal mosaicism, tumors, twin pregnancies, and placental abnormalities. Improved screening methods may help reduce false positives by better identifying abnormal results, though invasive tests are still needed to confirm NIPS results due to the risk of termination based on unconfirmed screenings. Both benefits and limitations must be considered for aneuploidy testing options.
This document discusses factors that affect 21st century students' learning and implications for educators. It examines how students today have grown up in a different environment than past generations due to technology, war, economic struggles, and heightened anxiety. Their ethics and morality have changed as success is now achieved by any means necessary. Media and technology consume students' lives and attention, making it harder for teachers to engage them. However, simulations and video games could update teaching methods and motivate students by relating lessons to their interests. The document suggests ways for educators to adapt their approaches to better understand and teach today's students.

Article Review # 1
Bibliography entry:
Steinberg, Matthew P., and Johanna, Lacoe. "What do we know about school discipline reform?." Education Next 17, no. 1 (Winter2017 2017): 44-52. Education Research Complete, EBSCOhost.
Purpose: The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights announced this spring that the number of suspensions and expulsions in the nation’s public schools had dropped 20 percent between 2012 and 2014.
Authoraffiliations:
· Steinberg – The University Pennsylvanian’s Graduate School of Education
· Lacoe - Researcher at Mathematica Policy Research
Summary:
According to the department of Education office for civil rights, there has been a drop of suspensions and expulsions in public schools between 2012 and 2014. There have been moves to abolish the use of suspensions and expulsion by some policy makers. Furthermore, there have also been complains that suspensions and expulsions where used in a way that was not fair and discriminative of other students. Others do also believe that the abolishment of such punishment would result to a better working environment. There has also been a push by politicians including Barak Obamas government, which advocated for an alternative kind of punishment for students found on the wrong line of the school rules. This involved a joint venture by the Department of Education and the Department of Justice who eventually arrived on measures to improve the school climate and the discipline among students. They also send a strict warning of racism when it comes to disciplining of students at school. It is evident also that the move for discipline reforms has gone to the grassroots, which is the state and school district levels. Example is the District of Colombia.
A critical look on the effects of this alternative ways of suspension should be made. Various statistical reports have brought out variety of evidences. Example is the documentation in disparities in school in school discipline and race. In addition is the statistical report by the National Centre for Education show a downward trend in suspensions, student victimization and reports of bullying. It also shows decline in suspensions and expulsions. There has also been more that 30% if teachers reporting of disruption to studies due to behavior and tardiness. Evidence of exposure to extreme harsh conditions such has students exposed to Hurricanes tend to be out of school for a given time while dealing with the disaster. Finally, exposure to disruptive peers tends to affect students later in their studies.
Statistics also show disproportionate rates of suspension with it mainly affecting students of a specific race and also students with disabilities. Most of these being racial especially among the blacks in preschool, primary, middle and high schools. This has also created gaps between blacks ...
Academic Dishonesty A Zero Tolerance Professor And Student Registration ChoicesDereck Downing
This document summarizes previous research on academic dishonesty among college students. It discusses how business students and engineering students have higher rates of cheating compared to other majors. It also reviews how honor codes can help reduce cheating. The study described in this document administered a survey to students to examine their reactions to a professor with a zero tolerance policy for academic dishonesty and to understand student attitudes towards cheating. The findings indicate such a strict policy may deter dishonest students but also discourage many honest students from enrolling in the professor's courses.

3-Discussion Board Assignment
In this Discussion Board, create a post and respond to others using the chapter on Proposals but also your initial research. This is an excellent opportunity to describe to classmates what you are focusing on, what areas of research you are excited about, and what areas of research you are entering into that is new for you.
Write respond both of the classmate’s posts.
First Classmate ‘s Post
My proposal topic revolves around gentrification and what can be done to limit its negative effects. I'm most excited about finding a credible person who is educated on this topic so I can interview them and use them as one of my sources. This way I have a lot more credibility if I were to find that my overall research aligns with my interviewees information. I seek to interview someone as I have noticed that my sources are usually in the form of websites or books. I want to offer more variety in my sources that reflects the amount of time invested in my research.
Writing a formal proposal with various different elements is new to me. I've never written a proposal in which I include visuals. Also, this is one topic in which the solutions are not handed to me in my research. In many occasions, when I research a problem, I also research its solutions and I usually find them quickly. For gentrification, however, there are multiple suggested solutions and not one main solution that stands out. I feel this way I'll be encouraged to further contemplate and research all the solutions. As a result, my research on all of the possible solutions will allow me to weigh each solution against each other and choose main solutions that I truly believe.
Second Classmate’s Post
The research that I will be doing will be focused on big data's effect on democracy and how major tech companies and politicians use psychology/sociology to attain what they want by using massive amounts of data collected from citizen's private lives. I'm interested in how the psychological aspect is used in this context. It's a relatively new concept in tech and how it relates to voting and politics is fascinating - and a little frightening. Although psychology is closely related to sociology, sociology is a pretty new discipline for me to delve into so I'll be spending a lot of time exploring that it and how it's connected to government and technology. I'm hopeful that the topic I chose allows me to write a well-rounded paper since it involves multiple disciplines: matters of the mind, tech, and politics.

Academic honesty in the digital age sept 2014Mick Purcell
This document summarizes a presentation on promoting academic honesty in international schools. It discusses how schools should focus on prevention over punishment by explicitly teaching students skills like citation. Teachers also need training to avoid common mistakes. While cheating is a significant problem, schools can reduce plagiarism through lessons on topics like bibliographies. The presentation emphasizes starting early by integrating academic honesty into curriculum and involving students, teachers, and parents.
The Personal and Intellectual Development of Studentsnoblex1
We think we know some useful things about what happens to students on the way to a college degree. We still have to make some educated guesses as to why it happens, but perhaps research will gain more insight into causal factors in the next years. At this point, however, the sheer volume of information available has encouraged some pragmatically-inclined folks to try to condense and simplify the findings into something that teachers and administrators can and will read and use.
I confess that I am about to deliver yet another list - one that will not continue the upward count of things to do to improve education, but that will pull from the existing lists those items that I think are most relevant to the unique educational mission of the service academies. Since you know the educational characteristics of your academies far better than I, it may be presumptuous of me to attempt this feat, but breathe easy; my list has only six items. The first three are what might be called environmental factors that create the cumulative overall impact on the personal and intellectual development of students. These factors are most likely to affect attributes such as leadership and character. They are: 1) the coherence and reinforcement of a consistent educational message, 2) the socialization of the student into the values of the institution, and 3) the integration of education and experience. The second set of three items are instructional or classroom factors that promote the development of academic and intellectual skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and effectiveness in communication. The three items in that list are: 1) the communication of high expectations, 2) the encouragement of active student learning, and 3) the provision of assessment and prompt feedback.
Environmental Factors: The educational environment of the service academies is probably one of the most potentially potent that exists on any campus in the United States. Students are immersed in a consistent and reinforcing environment from the day they arrive to the day they graduate. Thus, I have listed coherence and reinforcement of the educational message as first on my list of research-documented characteristics known to have an impact on students. This characteristic represents one of your most distinctive departures from the average college campus. First and perhaps most powerfully, you are residential institutions. Your students live on campus and are subject 24 hours a day to the influence of the people and environment of your academies. That, says the research, makes for a peculiar potency that affects values, attitudes, self-concept, intellectual orientation, and a host of other personal variables that contribute to what you might call leadership and character.

The document discusses a plagiarism reference tariff created to standardize penalties for student plagiarism across higher education institutions. An evaluation involved comparing penalties from 60 plagiarism cases across 11 institutions against the recommendations of the tariff, finding a match in 66% of cases. While the tariff was found to be easy to use, concerns remained around adequately capturing all characteristics of plagiarism cases. The author invites further involvement in evaluating the tariff.
This document discusses a plagiarism detection service that can be used to check written work for originality.

This document discusses personal learning environments (PLEs) and how students communicate. It notes that PLEs help learners take control of their learning by setting goals and managing content. The document also explores how students are increasingly using Twitter and other tools to communicate in real-time and ask questions about assignments. It raises questions about whether communication will continue shifting away from asynchronous forums to more synchronous options like Twitter as students look for new ways to learn together.
Dr Jo Badge is developing web resources for the PedR group on elearning at the University of Leicester.

Summary:
According to the department of Education office for civil rights, there has been a drop of suspensions and expulsions in public schools between 2012 and 2014. There have been moves to abolish the use of suspensions and expulsion by some policy makers. Furthermore, there have also been complains that suspensions and expulsions where used in a way that was not fair and discriminative of other students. Others do also believe that the abolishment of such punishment would result to a better working environment. There has also been a push by politicians including Barak Obamas government, which advocated for an alternative kind of punishment for students found on the wrong line of the school rules. This involved a joint venture by the Department of Education and the Department of Justice who eventually arrived on measures to improve the school climate and the discipline among students. They also send a strict warning of racism when it comes to disciplining of students at school. It is evident also that the move for discipline reforms has gone to the grassroots, which is the state and school district levels. Example is the District of Colombia.
A critical look on the effects of this alternative ways of suspension should be made. Various statistical reports have brought out variety of evidences. Example is the documentation in disparities in school in school discipline and race. In addition is the statistical report by the National Centre for Education show a downward trend in suspensions, student victimization and reports of bullying. It also shows decline in suspensions and expulsions. There has also been more that 30% if teachers reporting of disruption to studies due to behavior and tardiness. Evidence of exposure to extreme harsh conditions such has students exposed to Hurricanes tend to be out of school for a given time while dealing with the disaster. Finally, exposure to disruptive peers tends to affect students later in their studies.
Statistics also show disproportionate rates of suspension with it mainly affecting students of a specific race and also students with disabilities. Most of these being racial especially among the blacks in preschool, primary, middle and high schools. This has also created gaps between blacks ...
Academic Dishonesty A Zero Tolerance Professor And Student Registration ChoicesDereck Downing
This document summarizes previous research on academic dishonesty among college students. It discusses how business students and engineering students have higher rates of cheating compared to other majors. It also reviews how honor codes can help reduce cheating. The study described in this document administered a survey to students to examine their reactions to a professor with a zero tolerance policy for academic dishonesty and to understand student attitudes towards cheating. The findings indicate such a strict policy may deter dishonest students but also discourage many honest students from enrolling in the professor's courses.

In this Discussion Board, create a post and respond to others using the chapter on Proposals but also your initial research. This is an excellent opportunity to describe to classmates what you are focusing on, what areas of research you are excited about, and what areas of research you are entering into that is new for you.
Write respond both of the classmate’s posts.
First Classmate ‘s Post
My proposal topic revolves around gentrification and what can be done to limit its negative effects. I'm most excited about finding a credible person who is educated on this topic so I can interview them and use them as one of my sources. This way I have a lot more credibility if I were to find that my overall research aligns with my interviewees information. I seek to interview someone as I have noticed that my sources are usually in the form of websites or books. I want to offer more variety in my sources that reflects the amount of time invested in my research.
Writing a formal proposal with various different elements is new to me. I've never written a proposal in which I include visuals. Also, this is one topic in which the solutions are not handed to me in my research. In many occasions, when I research a problem, I also research its solutions and I usually find them quickly. For gentrification, however, there are multiple suggested solutions and not one main solution that stands out. I feel this way I'll be encouraged to further contemplate and research all the solutions. As a result, my research on all of the possible solutions will allow me to weigh each solution against each other and choose main solutions that I truly believe.
Second Classmate’s Post
The research that I will be doing will be focused on big data's effect on democracy and how major tech companies and politicians use psychology/sociology to attain what they want by using massive amounts of data collected from citizen's private lives. I'm interested in how the psychological aspect is used in this context. It's a relatively new concept in tech and how it relates to voting and politics is fascinating - and a little frightening. Although psychology is closely related to sociology, sociology is a pretty new discipline for me to delve into so I'll be spending a lot of time exploring that it and how it's connected to government and technology. I'm hopeful that the topic I chose allows me to write a well-rounded paper since it involves multiple disciplines: matters of the mind, tech, and politics.

Academic honesty in the digital age sept 2014Mick Purcell
This document summarizes a presentation on promoting academic honesty in international schools. It discusses how schools should focus on prevention over punishment by explicitly teaching students skills like citation. Teachers also need training to avoid common mistakes. While cheating is a significant problem, schools can reduce plagiarism through lessons on topics like bibliographies. The presentation emphasizes starting early by integrating academic honesty into curriculum and involving students, teachers, and parents.
The Personal and Intellectual Development of Studentsnoblex1
We think we know some useful things about what happens to students on the way to a college degree. We still have to make some educated guesses as to why it happens, but perhaps research will gain more insight into causal factors in the next years. At this point, however, the sheer volume of information available has encouraged some pragmatically-inclined folks to try to condense and simplify the findings into something that teachers and administrators can and will read and use.
I confess that I am about to deliver yet another list - one that will not continue the upward count of things to do to improve education, but that will pull from the existing lists those items that I think are most relevant to the unique educational mission of the service academies. Since you know the educational characteristics of your academies far better than I, it may be presumptuous of me to attempt this feat, but breathe easy; my list has only six items. The first three are what might be called environmental factors that create the cumulative overall impact on the personal and intellectual development of students. These factors are most likely to affect attributes such as leadership and character. They are: 1) the coherence and reinforcement of a consistent educational message, 2) the socialization of the student into the values of the institution, and 3) the integration of education and experience. The second set of three items are instructional or classroom factors that promote the development of academic and intellectual skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and effectiveness in communication. The three items in that list are: 1) the communication of high expectations, 2) the encouragement of active student learning, and 3) the provision of assessment and prompt feedback.
Environmental Factors: The educational environment of the service academies is probably one of the most potentially potent that exists on any campus in the United States. Students are immersed in a consistent and reinforcing environment from the day they arrive to the day they graduate. Thus, I have listed coherence and reinforcement of the educational message as first on my list of research-documented characteristics known to have an impact on students. This characteristic represents one of your most distinctive departures from the average college campus. First and perhaps most powerfully, you are residential institutions. Your students live on campus and are subject 24 hours a day to the influence of the people and environment of your academies. That, says the research, makes for a peculiar potency that affects values, attitudes, self-concept, intellectual orientation, and a host of other personal variables that contribute to what you might call leadership and character.

The document discusses a plagiarism reference tariff created to standardize penalties for student plagiarism across higher education institutions. An evaluation involved comparing penalties from 60 plagiarism cases across 11 institutions against the recommendations of the tariff, finding a match in 66% of cases. While the tariff was found to be easy to use, concerns remained around adequately capturing all characteristics of plagiarism cases. The author invites further involvement in evaluating the tariff.

This document discusses personal learning environments (PLEs) and how students communicate. It notes that PLEs help learners take control of their learning by setting goals and managing content. The document also explores how students are increasingly using Twitter and other tools to communicate in real-time and ask questions about assignments. It raises questions about whether communication will continue shifting away from asynchronous forums to more synchronous options like Twitter as students look for new ways to learn together.

We still have to have a system for identifying plagiarism, and who is going to do that? And it didn't seem obvious to me that students would necessarily, I'm not sure I trust the students enough to identify plagiarism (laughter).” StaffB5 Figure 1 Radar Diagram showing the combined responses of staff and students to the questions asked comparing the ideal and real scenarios. Aggregated scores were used ranging from 5 (strongly agree) to 1 (strongly disagree) Tentative acceptance? Whilst the main principles of honour codes were broadly welcomed, implementation in the UK HE context was perceived as problematic. Although both staff and students saw educational benefits in increased student involvement in the promotion of academic integrity and good academic practice, there was a tension between staff who would like to increase the responsibilities of students and the reality of the students’ seeming lack of confidence in their ability to discharge those responsibilities. The introduction of students as participants in plagiarism hearing panels and processes was tentatively supported, potentially offering a route to break down the staff-student dichotomy. “They won't be able to judge another student because they don't have the experience of past students and what they've done, so I'd be probably more scared of a student body judging me than I would of an academic body…” StudentB6 Jon Scott js50@le.ac.uk
