Syracuse University is one of the foremost contributors when it comes to the advancement of theories on retention and student success. By recognizing that true undergraduate excellence is achieved when attention is paid to the “whole student,” they are working collaboratively to create the conditions that support teaching, learning, retention, and success. One of the indispensable fundamentals of creating a successful student success initiative is buy-in from all of the stakeholders. Join Kalpana (Kal) Srinivas, Ph.D., as she shares the keys to how Syracuse University is successfully managing the campus changes associated with Orange Success.
Assessment is the cash nexus of learning – it is where the payoff is for our students, where all their effort is rewarded with marks or grades.
When we design our assessment, we indicate to our students what is important and what they should focus on. In this presentation, Ann will explore a number of theories that focus on assessment design such as:
Constructive alignment – why aligning what we teach, with the way we teach it, with the way we assess it is important
Supporting learning – how assessment supports learning and how it is central to student learning
Authentic assessment – including the issues of assessment design and workload from the perspective of both students and markers

Blackboard Analytics for Learn @JCU – a proactive approach to the use of data...Blackboard APAC
Committed to providing a supportive and safe educational environment that fosters student engagement and success, James Cook University (JCU) has taken a proactive approach to the use of data in a dual-pronged approach to improve the student experience and curriculum design. Blackboard Analytics for Learn is a key tool within these initiatives. Analytics for Learn provides real-time data that can be used by staff in a variety of roles to support student success. This presentation will outline how JCU is adapting Analytics for Learn, including discussion of initial customisations made to 'out-of-the-box' reports and the development of personalised dashboards, as well as providing an overview of the coordinated approach to the staged 'roll-out' and adoption of reports and dashboards.

SUNY Broome is one of 64 campuses in the State University of New York System and a new member of Achieving the Dream. “Joining Achieving the Dream was important for us,” said Heather Darrow, Staff Associate for Student Retention. “We are striving to become a college that is proactive and not reactive. I think that’s why we joined when we did - and why we invested in Starfish. Both investments demonstrate our administration’s commitment to student success.” SUNY Broome focused on early alert flags and Kudos in their initial implementation, and now they are eager to do more. They are training faculty, building automated workflows around flags, and developing ways to encourage participation both within the faculty and for those in non-academic roles. This Webinar will focus on advice and “lessons learned” in the early stages of implementing the Starfish platform at a community college. As Heather Darrow said, “In the beginning it seemed very abstract – I know it can be hard to conceptualize how Starfish will work. But I figured it out, and others can too. I look forward to helping other schools!” Speakers: Heather Darrow, Staff Associate for Student Retention Michelle Beatty, Online Student Advisor

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
