Learning modalities comparison (online)
This document compares asynchronous and synchronous learning modalities. It outlines advantages and disadvantages of each. Asynchronous learning allows self-pacing but lacks immediate instructor feedback, while synchronous learning enables real-time interaction but can be difficult to coordinate across time zones. Effective facilitation strategies differ between the modalities. Asynchronous facilitation supports cognitive learning through discussion, while synchronous requires an instructor to manage a live online classroom.
Learning modalities comparison (online)
This document compares asynchronous and synchronous learning modalities. It outlines advantages and disadvantages of each.
Asynchronous learning allows for self-paced learning, more time for discussion, and use of synchronous tools for questions. However, it relies on technology and instructor response time is not immediate.
Synchronous learning enables real-time interaction, social learning, and immediate instructor feedback. However, it can be difficult to coordinate across time zones and requires reliable internet access and equipment.
Facilitation strategies differ between the modalities. Asynchronous focuses on cognitive learning through static lessons, while synchronous uses live classrooms and real-time updates. In asynchronous learning, students are self-motivated while instructors provide thoughtful responses

This document summarizes research on student use of Facebook for informal learning and peer support. The researchers conducted social network analysis of 90 art and design students on Facebook to analyze relationships. They found that students who used Facebook more were more likely to attend class, achieve higher grades, and stay in the course compared to those who were less connected or "loners" on Facebook. While students formed somewhat insular networks, Facebook still allowed for bridging relationships across groups. The analysis suggests Facebook plays a role in students' informal learning and peer support during their studies.
OC Basics
Effective strategies to support student online reading comprehension include explicitly teaching students to identify important questions when reading, locate relevant information, critically evaluate sources, synthesize information to answer questions, and communicate answers to others. Teachers should use a three-phase model starting with direct instruction of basic skills, then collaborative modeling of strategies, and finally student-led inquiry projects, which may include collaboration with global partners. Throughout, teachers provide challenges to engage students in applying skills across content areas.

Bringing CUUSOO style user innovation to Hong Kong
Nicholas Wang wants to bring the Japanese CUUSOO user innovation platform to Hong Kong to address problems designers face with lack of respect for intellectual property and design freedom. CUUSOO collects user wishes, licenses designs to manufacturers, and allows designers to keep rights and focus on designing. It has proven successful in Japan with products like the MUJI sofa and lamp. Wang plans to start small in Hong Kong by having a designer manufacture a tote bag, then expand by getting more designers and users involved to license more designs to manufacturers and establish the model. Risks include international legal issues, but the goal is to spread user innovation and return more control to creators.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
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.
