Genius Hour Student Presentation
This document introduces the concept of Genius Hour, a program that allows students to spend time learning about anything that interests them. It explains that students will choose a topic they are passionate about or want to learn more about. They will have one class period per week to work on their Genius Hour project and will blog about their progress every other week. In early December, students will present what they learned to their classmates in a 5-minute "Ted Talk"-style presentation. The focus is on the learning journey, so projects will not be graded, but students will be evaluated based on their effort, blog posts, and classroom behavior during their Genius Hour period.

Using open educational resources
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using Open Educational Resources (OER). The main benefits are: global access to a variety of free resources saves instructors' and students' time and money; allows for more creative curriculum development; and fosters collaboration and continually updated materials.

Creating Personas – A guide, not a template
The first thing a good UX Designer should tell you about creating a persona is that if you just blindly follow a template, you have missed the point. User research should inform the layout — don’t let the layout constrain the research.
Put simply, don’t just follow a template.
Sadly, this advice is not very helpful when you are starting out, staring at a blank sheet of paper trying to create a set of personas.

Openness, Learning Analytics, and Continuous Quality Improvement
- Openness in education refers to making educational materials like textbooks, courses, and resources freely available and allowing them to be reused, revised, remixed, and redistributed.
- When educational materials are openly shared, expertise can be given without being given away as knowledge is nonrivalrous. This unprecedented sharing allows for education to occur on a greater scale than ever before.
- Analytics of student interaction data from open educational resources and courses can help identify struggling students and curricular areas needing improvement, enabling continuous quality improvement of education through an ongoing cycle of assessment and refinement.
Educause 2010 - Openness, Data, and a Sustainable Future for Education
This document discusses how openness and data can enable a sustainable future for education. It argues that open educational resources and data from online interactions can support continuous improvement processes. Specifically, when teaching materials are openly licensed and data on student interactions are collected, schools can engage in strategic tutoring to improve outcomes, as seen in OHSU's model. The document urges reconsidering one's role and allowing openness and data use to better serve students in a changing educational landscape.
