An alternative learning experience in transition level mathematicsDann Mallet
QUT Mathematical Sciences Seminar series, November 1 2013
Traditionally at QUT, mathematics and statistics are taught using a face-to-face lecture/tutorial model involving large lecture classes for around 1/2 to 3/4 of the time and smaller group tutorials for the remainder of the time. This is also one of the main models for teaching at other campus-based institutions. Recently, in response to (learning) technology advances and changes in the ways learners seek education, QUT has made a significant commitment to a “Digital Transformation” project across the university. In this seminar I will present a technical overview, with some demonstrations, of a pilot project that seeks to investigate how digital transformation might work in a QUT mathematics or statistics subject. In particular, I will discuss the use of tablet PC technology and specialist software to produce video learning packages. This approach has been trialled in a transition level mathematics unit this semester. I will also cover integration of these learning packages with QUTs Learning Management System “Blackboard”. This seminar is a technical preview to another talk I will give early in the new year that will look at the impact of the altered learning experience on student outcomes, feedback and the unit itself.
Tips and Tricks to Clear - CSIR-UGC NET- Physical SciencesMeenakshisundaram N
Power point presentation on Tips and Tricks to clear entrance exams at Post-graduate level of Physics Curriculum in India, primarily focusing on CSIR-UGC NET. Its evolved based on the author's experience in guiding hundreds students for more than 18 years in clearing various entrance exams in Physical sciences such as GATE/NET/SET/JEST/TIFR//Polytechnic Colleges Faculty Selection/PG-TRB etc., Entrance Exams.

12. Google Classroom
This year, Physics 10-20 will be using Google
Classroom as our tool for distributing all
formative work such as assignments, quizzes,
etc…
This Google App is iPhone friendly and Android
friendly - as well as Chromebooks, Tablets, etc…
Everyone is REQUIRED to have access to Google
Classroom - either thru your phone or via the web
Everyone is REQUIRED to learn how to
successfully navigate and use Google Classroom
You will need to use a course code to join our
Google “Class”.
Let’s get started.
