Creating online courses is one thing, creating courses that are both effective and engaging is another. With all the effort that goes into course development, why wouldn’t you ensure that the learning material is being well-received, and is effective? Effective and engaging eLearning courses are ones that deliver meaningful material, enhance learner interest and increase learner retention. Tune in to our webinar to explore why learning engagement is so important to learner attention AND retention and get practical tips and examples on how to create engaging and effective eLearning courses.
The document discusses best practices for campus recruitment in a competitive job market. It recommends (1) investing early in students regardless of year or major to build long-term relationships rather than just transactions; (2) making opportunities tangible and relatable to students' interests to overcome intimidation; and (3) leveraging alumni networks and non-career fair events to continuously engage students and build a brand beyond brief interactions. The key is starting early in students' academic careers through personalized outreach rather than just online applications.

Student Involvement and Alumni Engagement - CASE 2016Joseph Volin
This study examined the relationship between student involvement and subsequent alumni engagement. The researchers collected and analyzed data on 8,557 alumni to determine how factors like involvement, demographics, graduation year and academic program related to monetary and non-monetary alumni engagement. The results showed that student involvement increases both types of alumni engagement. A connection was also found between non-monetary and monetary engagement. More recent alumni and women were found to be more engaged, while engagement varied by race and academic program. The researchers suggest universities better define engagement, strengthen collaboration between student and alumni offices, and make more strategic use of engagement data.
The document provides updates from the PCCS Alumni Association, including information about past events and plans for upcoming events in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 academic years.

Upcoming plans include launching an alumni website, organizing networking events and training, and creating an alumni database. The association aims to facilitate connections between current and former students and faculty.
This document discusses the creation and management of alumni associations. It begins by outlining the criteria for alumni membership and then discusses the relevance of alumni for countries and committees, providing examples of donations and referrals generated by alumni. The main steps in creating an alumni association are described, including forming an interest group, an organizational meeting to establish by-laws and officers, and follow-up. Advantages and disadvantages of management by alumni or the MCVP are considered. Finally, examples of best practices from Togo and the United States are provided.
The document announces an alumni get-together event for PwC on January 30, 2009 at the TransAsia Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It invites alumni to remember and share memories and pictures from their time at PwC with colleagues.
This project aims to develop an alumni information database for a college as a web application. The database will allow anyone to search for alumni information but only allow current students to upload new information. The existing system of storing alumni data in Excel files is inefficient for multiple users and accessing records. The proposed system is a centralized online database that uses technologies like Java, JSP, and MySQL to allow efficient searching and updating of alumni records by multiple authorized users simultaneously.
The document discusses potential future enhancements to an alumni website project. It proposes adding functionality to allow alumni to directly contact the alumni officer and submit CVs through the website. Other suggested improvements include adding a discussion forum for each field of study, enabling users to select which contact details are public or private, including a search button, and allowing profiles to be updated after initial creation. The conclusion states that the project meets initial requirements but can be expanded with new modules as outlined.
Student Involvement and Alumni EngagementJoseph Volin
This is a presentation prepared for the defense of my dissertation research. My research was successfully defended on June 7, 2016. The degree, Doctor of Education was conferred in August 2016 by Northern Illinois University.
The objective of this application is to allow students, both current and alumni, of a university to communicate and find information about each other. The existing system of maintaining student records manually is inefficient. The proposed system creates a centralized online database that students can use to register, search for other students, and view upcoming events. It has four main modules: Administrator, Event Manager, Alumni, and Student. The Administrator verifies new student registrations and maintains the database. The Event Manager adds, edits, and views upcoming event details. Alumni and students can register, send messages, post queries, update profiles, and search the database for information. The system will use Java and related web technologies on a Windows server with an Oracle database.
The document provides guidance on conducting a literature review. It discusses that a literature review aims to convey previous knowledge and facts established on a topic by summarizing, evaluating, and integrating primary sources. The literature review is conducted in 5 stages - annotating relevant sources, organizing sources thematically, additional reading, writing individual sections, and integrating all sections. When writing the literature review, an introduction defining the topic, a body summarizing and grouping sources thematically, and a conclusion evaluating the current state of research and identifying gaps are essential elements to include.

The project aims to enhance students' learning and employment through co-curricular skill-building
The document discusses breaking down silos between university departments from recruiting to alumni relations. It recommends improving communication, aligning goals, rewarding collaboration, and focusing on students and alumni. Developing cross-functional teams and personal relationships across campus can help eliminate silos. Partnerships between enrollment, student engagement, athletics, academics, and development can also strengthen connections from recruiting to alumni. The UE Connect program was created to connect students to alumni and professional networks to aid career development and foster affinity across the alumni network through mentoring, resources, profiles, and events. Future emphasis will be on student accounts, social media, and continued improvements.

Get the most out of getting out of the buildingTodd Warren
This document discusses different types of user research techniques and provides guidance on conducting contextual design interviews. It outlines three main types of user research techniques: generative, evolutionary, and quantitative. Contextual design interviews are recommended for generating designs and finding latent needs. The document provides details on how to plan and conduct contextual design interviews, including defining the focus, selecting subjects, observing their work, gathering artifacts, and debriefing the interview with the team. It emphasizes watching users rather than asking questions and capturing a narrative of their workflow. The debrief involves consolidating facts, sequences, and work models using an affinity diagram technique to group findings across multiple interviews.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
