Five Tips for Increasing Organized Learning & EngagementWiley
Students who are engaged and organized in their learning process succeed, but are there ways in which you, as an instructor or professor, can help enable positive learning habits? Here are five quick tips you can begin using in your course today.
Blended Learning in a Liberal Arts Setting: Preliminary FindingsNITLE
Jennifer Spohrer, Educational Technologist, and Kimberly Cassidy, Provost and Professor of Psychology, Bryn Mawr College
This paper provides an overview of Bryn Mawr College’s NGLC Wave I study on the impact of blended learning in gateway STEM courses within a liberal arts environment. Research has shown that blending learning can increase student engagement, performance, and persistence at the college level, but the studies have focused on large universities and community colleges. This paper discusses how participating faculty experimented with blended learning, and our preliminary findings concerning effectiveness, challenges, and affordances.
Heather Allison: Helping students take control of their laboratory learning. Slides from the University of Liverpool Learning and Teaching Conference 2009.
Building on recent work with engaging students in “independent” projects, designed to give students enthusiasm and a sense of purpose for working in teaching laboratories. This session will explore a particular way of providing structure for “independent” lab projects to give active and careful guidance to inexperienced students working in a laboratory environment, whilst ensuring their safety and making them feel in control of what they are doing.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

This course deals with the study of the interactions among
living things and their environments.
As an introductory course in ecology, we will explore key
principles of ecology through consideration of ecological
theory, case studies, and management applications.
The topics are arranged by levels of organization,
including individual organisms, populations, communities
and ecosystems, and landscape to global levels.
Our goal will be to integrate across these levels of
organization to provide a synthetic framework for
understanding ecological issues.
8. Course requirements:

Students should have basic chemistry and
mathematics knowledge.
Students should have had a course in general biology.
Students should be comfortable with Windows
operating systems, word and excel programs, and to

goals:
To provide students with an understanding of the key
ecological processes: water and nutrient cycles, energy
flow, species composition changes, population dynamics;
To introduce students to ecological concepts that provide a
foundation for understanding present and future
environmental issues;
To provide an opportunity for students to learn about
environmental issues that are critical today, including
population growth, natural resource management,
biodiversity, global change, food production, changing
habitats;
To help students learn to think critically about information
they receive regarding environmental issues.
10. Grading
2 section exams @ 100 points each
Final exam, the last section of the course, @ 100 points.
Class project @ 100 points. A term paper and class presentation is required.(
