An Intro to ATDD/BDD and HDD: Get What You Need, Not What You Ask For!LitheSpeed
Do you want to learn the basics of ATDD/BDD so that you can ensure clear
communications between business and development?
Do you want to go beyond building to a specification, and build what is
valuable instead?
Agile teams often relied on user stories and acceptance criteria alone. Then more advanced teams started doing TDD (Test Driven Development) so that developers could build what they thought the business asked for. When it became clear that TDD was not enough, ATDD (Acceptance Test Driven Development) / BDD (Behaviour Test Driven Development) became popular, as they provide a common language for business and development.
But building what the business wanted is not enough!
With HDD (Hypothesis Driven Development), we can test our business case, just like we test our code. When we find that results don’t match our expectation, we adjust our business case to get better business results.
In this presentation, we'll create several examples in ATDD/BDD and then extend out to the business case level with HDD.
El documento compara la sociedad de la información y la sociedad del conocimiento. La sociedad de la información se refiere a los cambios causados por las nuevas tecnologías digitales que permiten crear y compartir información de forma ilimitada. Sin embargo, la sociedad del conocimiento va más allá al dar acceso a los almacenes de conocimiento de otros y permitir que cualquiera genere información. Esto desencadena transformaciones sociales a gran escala al cambiar las formas de actuar y los valores culturales de una sociedad.
Holly Taylor analyzed existing music videos to understand conventions for her own music video. While some elements like camerawork and characters conformed to conventions, other aspects like editing techniques and narrative style challenged conventions. She included a title introduction like in The Smiths' music videos to attract fans, but challenged conventions by making the title dissolve to link it to the theme of relationship breakdown. Holly used two settings - a park and house - to remain visually engaging but more realistic, challenging conventions by limiting locations despite including multiple. The narrative took inspiration from Fight Club by rewinding events, challenging typical indie music video style. Special effects and a black and white filter at one point also challenged conventions. The two main characters fit typical indie genre conventions
As part of the MVLRI Research Webinar Series, we will be hosting a series of webinars dedicated specifically to K-12 virtual schools and their research needs.

Tools for Administrators of Blended Learning ProgramsiNACOL
iNACOL, in partnership with the New York City Schools iLearnNYC program, developed administrative tools to assist administrators in support of blended learning teachers.
This document discusses a study that examined the effectiveness of a blended learning environment for a required first-year composition course with typically high failure rates. The course used a flipped classroom model with online lectures, lessons, and quizzes as well as in-class group work and formative feedback. A survey of successful students found that the most helpful non-curricular elements were formative instructor feedback, blogging assignments, and online lessons/lectures. Responses indicated these helped students through their quality and ability to engage students. Most students believed the partially online format contributed to their success through improved quality and preparation. The findings suggest blended learning can help increase pass rates in compulsory courses.

With over five hundred Collaborate sessions being hosted each academic semester for delivering live classes, meetings, and monthly online faculty development sessions, it's no surprise that NIU decided to take the next leap forward in upgrading to Collaborate with the Ultra experience. In this session, we will share NIU's recent Blackboard Collaborate roll-out strategy, practices, and lessons learned. Learn how NIU's carefully planned adoption approach has been helping to make anytime synchronous collaboration simpler, more reliable, and more enjoyable. Bring your own questions and experiences and join in the discussion!
This document discusses a research project being conducted by Dr. Brenda Bagwell and Dr. Lori Poole at CSU-Global Campus to analyze online class discussions. The research has two phases: Phase I examines how discussion prompts and instructor interactions impact student posts, and Phase II analyzes what Bloom's cognitive levels students demonstrate in their posts and if this deepens over time. Preliminary results of Phase I found that discussion prompt type influences post content and interactions. Phase II initial findings show students are often at remembering and understanding levels, though prompts aiming for higher levels did see some applying and analyzing. The research aims to help improve online discussions and determine if courses are achieving intended learning outcomes.
The document discusses learning outcomes and online teaching at Franciscan University. It outlines the university's four CORE goals for its undergraduate program and notes that program goals are specific to each program of study. It also discusses key aspects of online learning like asynchronous learning and digital natives/immigrants. The rest of the document provides guidance on online course design, delivery using a learning management system (LMS) like Blackboard, teacher time management, and checklists for ensuring online courses meet the same standards and outcomes as onsite courses.
This document discusses quality in e-learning environments. It begins by defining distance education and noting its accelerated expansion and increased use of online, cohort-based models. The document then discusses why quality is important, given that growth may be slowing and students care about outcomes. It reviews arguments that e-learning is of the same quality as traditional learning and that no significant differences exist. However, it notes that quality can be subjective. The document proposes ways to measure quality, such as using best practices like clear communication and encouraging interaction. It provides resources for ensuring quality, such as benchmarks from the National Education Association. It concludes by posing emerging questions about how to define and ensure quality in e-learning.
Adaptive courseware vendor selection and engagementKaren Vignare
The document discusses adaptive courseware vendor selection and engagement for universities. It provides an agenda that covers introductions, vendor engagement, selection process, project management, setting expectations, changing culture, iterating and scaling pilots. It describes the author's background and experience. It outlines the selection process universities can use, including looking at efficacy research. It also discusses what information and frameworks were lacking for universities prior to conducting pilots. The rest of the document provides details on the vendor selection, project management, challenges encountered, lessons learned, and changing university culture to support innovation.
Evaluating teaching and learning in MOOCsJanine Kiers
This document discusses evaluating teaching and learning in MOOCs. It outlines the quality assurance cycle of designing, developing, running, and evaluating MOOCs. It describes using tools like student surveys, forum analysis, and platform data to gather feedback on aspects like student satisfaction, design, and activity. The document provides an example of evaluating student expectations, workload, and performance. It notes challenges in interpreting evaluation results due to issues like low response rates and student heterogeneity. Suggestions are made to standardize the implementation and interpretation of evaluations and to dedicate more time and resources to the evaluation process to improve courses and support.
The document summarizes an educative assessment project called ALOR that uses online collaborative writing to improve student learning. Some key points:
- The ALOR project aims to design active learning experiences using online tools to maximize efficiencies while improving student learning.
- At UTM, the project involves collaborative writing assignments in an advanced French class where students write, edit and provide feedback on each other's work using online tools like a wiki page and blog.
- A survey found that students agreed the collaborative writing improved their French skills and learning through peer feedback and seeing different perspectives. Most interesting was the planning process and seeing how feedback improved their work.

It discusses challenges and lessons learned from the program as well as efforts to develop an online community of blended practitioners.
This document summarizes a presentation on developing consistency in an online business degree offered across 17 Penn State campuses. It describes the strategy used, which involved forming syllabus teams with faculty from each campus. These teams collaborated to align learning outcomes, select materials, and develop courses. The process included retreats, iterative development, and drawing on varied expertise. While resource-intensive, this approach gained buy-in, provided backups, and helped ensure consistency in the multi-campus online degree.
The document provides information about the Faculty Technology Fellows program at an unnamed university. It outlines the goals of empowering faculty and students through technology, and describes the participation and incentives for the inaugural class and subsequent years.
