Technology has provided us with great opportunities to connect in faster and more efficient ways. Using webinars, online learning, and conference tools allow organizations to reach more people, cut costs, and increase information efficiency. How do we increase the quality of these experiences? What are best practices for keeping virtual participants engaged? What are some of the best platforms to launch these experiences? This workshop will share tools, techniques, and best practices to be a dynamic virtual presenter and ensure that your team or group receives and retains the critical information.
Learning Objective: Increase technical capacity to use online learning tools
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
a. List tips to create dynamic presentations
b. Identify interactive tools and techniques to engage participants
c. Explore how to follow up and survey participants
d. Identify when to use different types of meetings and online learning approaches
Can you begin to wonder just how the value of your presentation is dependent upon your story and how that is portrayed? What would choose...traditional Powerpoint or the modern exciting Prezi for impact and wow factor? Check this out now to enable you to decide.......

Pathological evaluation of melanocytic lesionsHisashi Uhara
In this lecture, the following basic steps by which I routinely scan specimens in our hospital will be presented with examples.
1. Evaluate the specimen preparation.
1) Is the incision for the specimen made perpendicular to the skin surface?
2) Is the slice of tissue from volar skin made perpendicular to the furrows of skin?
2. Estimate the specimen size and location.
1) Estimate the size of the lesion from the magnification of the objective lens.
2) Estimate the specimen location.
3. Precaution before evaluation
1) Observe the specimens without clinical information as much as possible.
2) Obtain as much information as possible at low magnification.
4. The steps for observation
1) At low magnification: Check the symmetric properties and circumscription of the lesion based on the following points.
a. Distance from the densest area of the lesion to both ends.
b. Variation of the thickness of epidermis from the center to both ends.
c. Distribution of melanin in the coronoid layer, epidermis, and dermis.
d. Distribution of nests and distance between each nest.
e. Density of solitary distributed melanocytes.
f. Existence of inflammatory infiltration in the dermis and its distribution.
g. Continuity of the spread of nests and tumor cells in both ends.
h. Is the bottom of the lesion smooth or not?
2) At high magnification: Check the details of tumor cells.
a. Tumor cells in the epidermis: Existence of necrosis, atypia (large nucleolus), or mitosis.
b. Other findings in the epidermis: Distribution of melanin in the cornified layer, the existence of tumor cells in the upper epidermis, the polymorphism of tumor cells, the relationship between tumor cells and keratinocytes.
c. In the dermis: An overlapping, crowded, or sheet-like gathering of tumor cells, maturation of tumor cells, mitotic figures, or melanin of tumor cells at the bottom of the lesion.
d. In the adnexal area: The existence of tumor cells in adnexal walls.
5. After provisionally giving a pathological diagnosis, check discrepancies between the pathological diagnosis and clinical findings. Return to the pathological evaluation if necessary.

Providing interactive and engaging library instruction that addresses different learning styles for distance education students is a challenge because there is no face-to-face feedback or specified classroom time. The online librarian at the Minnesota School of Business offers practical solutions that can be accomplished with a small staff. Webinar style of instruction allows students to come together as they would in a classroom. A recording is produced for those who are unable to attend or want to review. In addition to live instruction, other interactive and printable tutorials and reference services meet the needs of distance education students.

Technology: what are we losing? Does it matter? Michael Coghlan
Such is the scale of change wrought by the current Digital Age that it is being compared with the profound changes that occurred as a result of the invention of printing in the 15th century, and the industrial revolution of the 18th century. Every new wave of technology produces changes. Some of these changes are immediately welcome, and their benefits obvious. Some changes are easy to see and predict. Other changes take time, are less immediately obvious, and are not always welcome. With each change, with each gain, there is some loss.
We are clearly in the middle of massive technology driven change. What then are we losing? Is this loss an inevitable consequence of change? Should we be trying to identify practices and values that ought not to change, or has that horse already bolted?

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
