A Geodesign Exercise: First Experiences

Through review of individual questions (assignments) in a Quest-Based GIS course, I will ascertain the degree to which each provides a "satisfactory" learning experience as viewed by the learners. A final survey will evaluate learner overall satisfaction. I will also monitor time-on-task, pacing, and timing of quests, selection of optional quests, textual analysis of answers, and other course-related statistics and correlate them to final grades.

Exploring Abandoned GIS Research to Augment Applied Geography Education

Michael DeMers

Applied geography has enjoyed a resurgence since the increased availabilty of geospatial software and the advancement of an ever-increasing sophistication of these analytical tools designed to solve complex geospatial problems. These advancements have quickly been translated into coursework at colleges and universities – often adopted wholesale into complete applied geography programs throughout academia. One unintended consequence of this adoption is that much of the conceptual content responsible for the development of these tools is not covered in the applied geography coursework. In many cases the conceptual frameworks were chosen more out of expediency rather than geographical foundations, thus leaving the applied geography student with the misconception that the fundamental geographic underpinnings upon which the software is based, are thoroughly understood and extensively tested. A direct result of this is that students in applied geography programs often employ the tools with little or no understanding of their limitations for modeling real geographic processes. I propose that one aspect of an applied geography curriculum must include the study of the underlying principles upon which the software is based, and perhaps more importantly, the study of concepts that were abandoned in the early days of tool development. While this is obvious for programs that emphasize the more theoretical aspects of geography, I argue that it is equally important for those who use the tools so they are aware of the fundamental limitations of the results derived from analysis.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...

Levi Shapiro

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg, The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation. This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability. Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots. The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee. • The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act. • The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X. • The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara

Balvir Singh

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.
