These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Dalgarno, B., & Lee, M. J. W. (2010). What are the learning affordances of 3-D virtual environments? British Journal of Educational Technology, 41(1), 10–32. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8535.2009.01038.x
There are some other articles like Fowler 2015 that attempt to place this in a pedagogical framework, but we found this to be an excellent place to start.
Not just thinking through learning outcomes, presence and learning in VR, but the actual creation and consumption aspects as well.
Not only the flexibility of when and where people can engage in the field trip, but also ability to share the materials and ability to create and come back to environments (virtual labs).
Capacity building for institution, region, and all partners. = creation of the UBC EML
Radical constructivist, OER approach = do it with students through open pedagogy and openly license VR so that VR is not limited to a consumption paradigm. We also brought in industry and provincial partners.
Best practices for making and using VR for education and how to do photogrammetry for VR.
Experiment go out and try different technologies until we find what works best for our learning outcomes and design goals.
Learning with students how to create spaces, not just creating spaces for students to learn. Radical constructivist approach. Combined with OER open licenses, this is open pedagogy
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Involve students of different faculties and capacities into the creation of VR for education.
Takes time. Student schedules. Funding for student work.
Failure is important. Need a plan to create these into learning moments instead of judgement.
Technical know how is critical. While students can experiment, they need adequate technical guidance - to be able to ask for help in bad situations. Industry partners can help.
Tools for transparency like using Trello and time management tools to manage Agile Development scrum.
Coursework or not. This largely depends on the nature of the deliverable. If students already are technically equipped and just working on content and ideas. Yes it could be.
Funders. Patience with the process.
Invention and innovation. In the sense that innovation is using tools in novel ways, but in many cases we are inventing new ways of integrating VR into learning processes.
Openly license and package the VR products for reuse. Get the code on GitHub. Release the experiences and assets as separate downloads. You will have to license things separately. GNU and CC. We centralize everything at OSF.
Implicate industry partners for higher quality outcomes. At the beginning in order to help in the design process. So, while you may have research questions, they can help with the technology. Indeed we have seen many of the early academic innovators in the field start consulting businesses.
