The Librarians at Mohawk College in Hamilton ON have prepared an introduction to copyright in academia for faculty exploring blended delivery in the Spring Summer 2011 intensive.
The document advertises an Open Textbook Adoption Fair where faculty can choose from open textbooks recommended by fictional adoptable pets. The pets each recommend an open textbook for a different subject, describing the textbook's positive qualities and reviews. It encourages faculty to adopt open textbooks to save students money while retaining editorial control over customizing the texts. Adopting open textbooks also builds the institution's reputation through collaboration and avoids financial burdens on students. The document concludes by listing steps to find, adopt, and review an open textbook.
For fall 2018:
- There were 71 reported open textbook adoptions across Ontario universities and colleges. The majority (52%) were in social sciences.
- These adoptions impacted over 18,000 learners and saved them a total of over $2 million in textbook costs compared to commercial textbooks.
- Adoptions occurred mostly at universities but colleges are also increasing adoption, such as Centennial College which saved over 2,000 learners $100 each through open textbooks.
This document provides an agenda for a workshop on curation resources and techniques.
The workshop is divided into two stages: the first focuses on finding open resources, including an introduction to Creative Commons licenses. The second stage discusses creating a learning experience through curating resources in four phases: triggering interest, exploration, integration, and reflection. Participants will work in groups to curate a learning activity using resources from different repositories. The document emphasizes asking for help and sharing work to relieve pressure.
This document contains a series of questions related to family basics, issues facing families, online learning at Mohawk College, and study skills. The questions range in value from $100 to $500 and cover topics such as types of families (e.g. nuclear, lone parent, blended), reasons for changing family structures, living wage, family violence statistics, mental health aspects, addiction characteristics, using eLearn at Mohawk, benefits and differences of online versus in-person learning, meeting deadlines, using academic support services, and identifying errors in a reference citation.
This document discusses harm reduction and concurrent disorders. It defines harm reduction as a philosophical approach that aims to support people in reducing the negative consequences of substance use through moderating intake or safer methods of use. The key principles of harm reduction are that it is pragmatic, respectful, prioritizes goals, and maximizes intervention options. Harm reduction recognizes that people are at different stages of change and aims to remove barriers to accessing programs and services. Some challenges to harm reduction include community resistance, working with marginalized groups, ensuring proper training, and adequate resources.

This document provides a rubric to evaluate student performance on essays across four levels: beginning to develop, progressing toward the standard, meets the standard, and exceeds the standard. The rubric includes criteria in three categories: application of skills (30%), processing skills (30%), and following instructions (10%). Each criterion lists descriptions of the type of performance expected at each level. A fourth category, reflection (20%), focuses on a student's ability to assess their own performance and recommend improvements. The rubric provides a detailed framework to assess and differentiate student work at various performance levels.
The document discusses strengths-based development and the StrengthsQuest assessment. It makes three key points:
1. A strengths-based approach focuses on identifying and building upon individuals' natural talents and strengths, rather than focusing on weaknesses. The StrengthsQuest assessment identifies 34 key talent themes.
2. Having individuals work in roles that align with their strengths leads to greater workplace engagement, productivity, and satisfaction. It involves identifying, integrating, and applying one's strengths.
3. The goal of the StrengthsQuest is to help individuals discover their talents and strengths, understand how they relate to past successes, and gain confidence and direction by focusing on developing their strengths.
The jigsaw instructional strategy divides students into home groups, where each member is assigned a different role or task. Students then join expert groups of others with the same role to learn and prepare. They return to their home groups to teach their peers, so that each group benefits from members sharing their specialized knowledge and the full issue can be explored collaboratively.
The document discusses rubrics for evaluating student research papers. It provides a sample rubric that evaluates students on four dimensions of research: determining information needs, accessing information effectively, evaluating information sources critically, and using information effectively. For each dimension, the rubric describes criteria for beginning, proficient, and advanced performance levels, scored on a scale of 0-20 points. The document emphasizes that rubrics help set clear expectations for students and allow for consistent evaluation of research skills.
The document provides an introduction to using rubrics for assessing student work. It defines key terms related to rubrics and their purposes. It then outlines a five step process for developing rubrics, including deciding on dimensions of quality, achievement levels, descriptions for each level, rating schemes, and reviewing/revising. An example rubric for grading research papers is also included.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
