This is the presentation from Virginia Tech's ePortfolio Initiatives for the Jasig Sakai 2012 conference. In it, we look at activities that are used in various ePortfolios at Virginia Tech to promote reflection and assessment.
The document discusses how appreciative inquiry and problem solving approaches can be combined for process improvement. It explores how AI can enhance problem solving by focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses. Problem solving is useful in some cases but can be augmented by AI's positive, strength-based approach. The document proposes an "appreciative problem solving" hybrid method and outlines how the processes of AI and problem solving differ and could be integrated to leverage their benefits for work system innovation.

Duke's eLearning Roadmap and the Sakai TransitionShawn Miller
Presentation for JasigSakai2012. Session description as follows: Duke's move from Blackboard to Sakai involves much more than simply planning and executing a mass migration: it serves as a key step in Duke's larger eLearning strategy which hopes to shift the focus away from the LMS as a one-point solution for all eLearning needs, and instead leverage the LMS as an integration point for a suite of available Duke and non-Duke tools.
Participants attending the session will be better able to assess and plan similar transitions or implementations. Through a review of Duke's experiences and lessons learned, participants will be able to adapt successful models to their own campus culture and manage priorities to better align their projects with broader institutional goals.

This document summarizes Jaclyn Schildkraut's presentation at the 2012 Jasig Sakai Conference. It discusses how she incorporated Sakai tools like announcements, forums, assignments, and multimedia links to enhance student participation and engagement in her Criminological Theories course. These tools allowed students to participate asynchronously, submit assignments digitally, receive personalized feedback, and access supplemental videos and materials online. A survey of students found that using Sakai increased class participation, improved assignment scores, and led to better test performance and understanding of course content.
English Composition I is a course that combines high-quality Open Education Resources (OER) and innovative course design to promote active learning and successful community building. Central to the writing community is the use of collaborative writing spaces where students provide mutual support and engage in grammar reports, reflective assignments, and peer reviews. Innovations for English Composition I include: cross-referenced learning outcomes and topics for course alignment transparency; interactive grammar reports; a visual learning arc explaining course rationale and methods as well as explicit expectations for student success; guided, interactive pre-writing/note-taking; a virtual presence badge to indicate instructor availability for conferences/chats. All materials are ADA compliant. The presenter will discuss student success results with the new course design and provide a demo in Sakai CLE of key course components.
Learning Analytics is an emerging topic of interest throughout all levels of education focusing on how to harness the power of data mining, interpretation, and modeling.
However, there are several similar terms (academic analytics, predictive analytics, business intelligence, etc.) that can confuse educators and administrators alike. In this session, we will unpack this new area of interest and discuss how institutions can begin to leverage available products and open source communities to utilize analytics to improve understandings of teaching and learning and to tailor education more effectively.
We will briefly present an overview of the learning analytics field, drawing from popular examples such as the Signals project at Purdue U. and the Check My Activity tool at U. Maryland, Baltimore County. We will also review the structure of Sakai CLE and OAE user-level metrics and briefly discuss projects to design and implement tools to utilize these metrics in meaningful ways.

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.
