The document discusses using blended learning in large psychology courses at San Diego State University. It describes redesigning a 500-student introductory psychology course to incorporate both face-to-face and online elements, including live online sessions and polling questions. Evaluations found that students in the blended course performed as well or better than those in the traditional face-to-face course, and enjoyed the interactivity of clicker questions. The blended approach was refined over time and expanded to additional courses, demonstrating that blended learning can be effective even in very large classes.

An app idea to facilitate feedback and improve student learningEldon Prince
This is an app idea I came up with to improve student learning.
What is the motivation for this app?
Students, who are the customers of education, have little input. Teachers, who heavily influence student learning, lack the data to improve teaching. Administrators, who can promote change, have little information.
The auris app is designed to facilitate feedback and serve as a powerful tool to empower students, enable teachers, and inform administrators.

Online Tests: Can we do them better? | Bopelo Boitshwarelo, Jyoti Vemuri, Han...Blackboard APAC
The use of e-assessment methods to facilitate and evaluate learning is a growing trend in the higher education space. In particular, the use of online tests has increased rapidly concomitant with the expansion of digital technologies for teaching purposes. Online tests, in the context of this presentation, refer to computer assisted-assessment where the deployment and marking is automated and typically involves objective types of questions such as multiple choice questions (MCQs), true/false questions, matching questions as well as predetermined short answer questions. The growing sophistication of Learning Management Systems(LMSs) such as Blackboard provide an increasing capacity for different types of online tests to be deployed, administered and marked efficiently. Additionally, most major textbook publishers and authors in certain disciplines provide online question banks that can easily integrate with LMSs meaning less time is spent on creating tests from scratch.
With these trends in mind, questions arise around the efficacy of online tests in higher education.
In this presentation we will share findings of a study investigating practices around online tests. First, we will explore what the literature reveals about the role of online tests in higher education and particularly how online tests are used to lead to student learning through formative assessment processes and feedback practices. Secondly, the presentation will review the practices around online tests at the Charles Darwin University Business School and discuss emerging issues. Thirdly, the presentation will distil some preliminary guiding principles around designing, developing, administering and reviewing online tests for effective learning and assessment. Finally, ongoing and further research by the team on the topic of online tests will be highlighted.
This details a successful data-driven redesign of Math 215, an online statistics concepts course at Franklin University. The redesigned course incorporated new interactive educational multimedia. This new design resulted in improved student retention, better student performance, and better satisfaction with the course.

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.
