The Importance of Retaining First-Time Donors (And How To Do It)Bloomerang
https://bloomerang.co/resources/speaking/
Fundraisers spend a lot of time acquiring new donors, and with good cause. However, in order to create a long-lasting relationship, the most critical gift isn’t the first; it’s the second.
In this session, nonprofit technology veteran Jay Love will make the case for why development professionals should concentrate on acquiring a donor’s second gift in order to achieve sustainable funding, high donor retention rates and high donor lifetime values.
You’ll see examples that can be implemented by any organization, whether you are a one-person shop or a large development department. The results can be astounding when put into daily use!

Diamonds in Your Database - Navigate 2021Bloomerang
This document discusses strategies for identifying and cultivating potential major donors from an organization's existing donor database. It provides tips on focusing stewardship efforts on long-time loyal donors who have given consistently for 3-5+ years, monthly donors, volunteers who haven't yet donated, out-of-town donors, current/former service recipients, and others who show signals of higher capacity or engagement with the organization. The key message is that the best prospects are often hidden in plain sight in an organization's existing donor data, rather than relying solely on wealthy strangers.

How National Wildlife Federation Uses Online Community to Drive Offline ActionSmall World Labs
Confronting today’s environmental challenges, such as climate change and water sustainability, requires the environmental movement to respond with an unprecedented level of creativity and energy. However, command and control campaigns that are centrally-organized and pushed via grassroot methods, are not sufficient to unleash the scale of response needed to be successful.
In this webinar (http://www.smallworldlabs.com/learn/webinars/nwf) we took a look into a focused NWF online community that allows members to connect with one another and take action on campaigns and local environmental sustainability projects. Courtney Cochran from NWF and Lindsay Razzaz from Small World Labs walked through what was learned during the buildout of this community, as well as some of the technological tools introduced and measurable results achieved throughout the process.

Conducting Research on Blended and Online Education, WorkshopTanya Joosten
Conducting Research on Blended and Online Education
October 14, 2015 - 8:30am
Lead Presenter: Tanya Joosten (University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, USA)
Nori Barajas-Murphy (University of La Verne, USA)
Track: Learning Effectiveness
Pre-Conference Workshop
Location: Oceanic 7
Session Duration: 3 Hours
Pre-Conference Workshop Session 3
This workshop consists of practice-based research planning activities to help you prepare for conducting research at the course or program level. Specifically, we will utilize the distance education research model developed by the National Research Center for Distance Education and Technological Advancements (DETA) to guide the development of research plans for blended and online. Attendees will walk away with a research agenda and the necessary tools to help them conduct research on their campus as part of the National DETA Research Center initiative.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) established a National Distance Education and Technological Advancement (DETA) Research Center in 2014 to conduct cross-institutional data collection with 2-year and 4-year Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) funded by the U.S. Department of Education Fund for Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). UWM has partnered with the University of Wisconsin System, UW-Extension, Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC), EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI), and leaders across the nation to develop a research model. This model is to promote student access and success through evidence-based online learning practices and learning technologies.
The DETA Center looks to identify and evaluate effective course and institutional practices in online learning (including competency-based education) for underrepresented individuals (i.e., economically disadvantaged, adult learners, disabled) through rigorous research. Furthermore, although the research currently is focused on postsecondary U.S. institutions, the DETA Center looks to advance their work in K-12 and internationally -- all are welcome!
This workshop will prepare attendees to take a plan back to their own institution to successfully gather research on blended and online teaching and learning.
For more on DETA, visit http://www.uwm.edu/deta.

Lesson 9 prewriting, brainstorming and outliningSarah Clark
This document provides an overview of prewriting strategies such as brainstorming and outlining to help make sense of research for a paper. It presents four common prewriting approaches: asking questions about the topic, freewriting ideas that come to mind, starting with big ideas and categories in an outline, and creating visual brainstorms or mind maps. For each approach, it offers tips and examples to guide the prewriting process. Resources for additional prewriting techniques and examples are also listed.
Shetal is going on a date to a club and can only take 3 items in her clutch purse. The document discusses annotating what items Shetal should bring and why by summarizing the items, assessing their usefulness, and reflecting on which will be most essential. It then provides an overview of what an annotated bibliography is, including that it is a list of sources with a short explanation of each source and how it will be useful. Sample annotations are shown that summarize the topic, assess the argument, point of view, and references, and reflect on the source's usefulness. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to inform readers of a source's relevance, accuracy, and quality.

This document is a transcription of diary entries from Charles H. Peterson from April 16-17, 1865. On April 16, Peterson receives news of President Lincoln's death but has no details. Everything seems sad and sorrowful over the death of the President. On April 17, the newspaper confirms Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theatre while watching a play. The assassin is believed to be actor John Wilkes Booth, who also attempted to kill Secretary of State Seward but he survived at last report. Flags continue to be flown at half-mast over the death of the President.

Thesis or Thesicle? How to make a smashing thesisSarah Clark
The document discusses the key elements of developing a strong thesis statement for research papers. It defines a thesis as a statement or theory that is put forward to be proved or maintained.
