Bringing together internal and external students on Blackboard - Brett Fyfiel...Blackboard APAC
With the recent redevelopment of postgraduate courses in project management for the School of Civil Engineering and the Built Environment, new challenges were faced to make units more inclusive of a variety of enrolment preferences. The short term ambitions for the courses included developing units that are delivered both facetoface, and entirely online and have the potential to be scaled to meet the growing demand for continuing professional education. To ensure that students could join either facetoface or online offerings of the same units, the implementation team brought internal and external cohorts together on the same unit sites on Blackboard. The units are currently under evaluation but some early learnings may provide insight into new approaches to blended learning, and how these approaches have facilitated new ways of teaching and learning through tentative academic culture change.
Delivered at Innovate and Educate: Teaching and Learning Conference by Blackboard. 24 -27 August 2015 in Adelaide, Australia.
The orientation provided an overview of the goals and responsibilities of new BTSA support providers. It reviewed the formative assessment process used in BTSA induction and the role of support providers in mentoring and guiding participating teachers through this process to earn their clear teaching credential. Logistics such as program requirements, timelines, communication procedures and resources were also covered.

Virtual schooling allows rural schools to offer a wider variety of courses and access highly trained teachers. A study of virtual school students in Newfoundland and Labrador found that during synchronous sessions students tended to stay on task, relying more on each other than teachers for help. During asynchronous time, students only worked effectively about half the time and often collaborated. Students primarily sought help from peers and teachers, regardless of other available resources.

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.

16. Quotes from Fulbright Alumni
“ The Fulbright program offered me and my family a golden opportunity, a
“gift” to peer deeply into a culture and the many groups within that culture
and to emerge slightly but significantly shifted from our old selves. We are
all now thinking, behaving, and planning in new ways."
-Chris Gould, Pelham, MA, 2009 grantee to Singapore
"This has been an incredible experience both personally and professionally.
As classroom teachers, we rarely have the time to do this kind of research
and investigate alternative educational practices. I learned so much during
my time in Argentina that’s going to make me a better educator back in the
States. Personally, I loved having the opportunity to immerse myself in
another culture and develop friendships and bonds with the people living
here. This has also been an incredible experience for my family, especially
my seven-year-old son who made friends and improved his Spanish."
-Gordon Jack, San Francisco, CA, 2009 grantee to Argentina
17. Quotes
"Words cannot describe how much this experience has
done for me both personally and professionally. On a
personal level, every opportunity provides the means
for growth, but living in a different culture is far and
away the best. Professionally I met new colleagues
(both teachers and professors), conducted research that
will be instrumental in my PhD program, and learned
teaching methods/philosophies that have profoundly
affected my view of what American education is and
what it should be.”
-Ben Hedrick, Bethelhem, PA, 2009 grantee to Finland
18. Quotes
"This Fulbright experience is the most memorable learning experience that I ever have.
The duration is long enough for me to experience fully and appreciate the US
culture and education system. Being able to immerse totally in the US culture is
certainly the best way to learn about its rich culture. I am particularly moved by the
acceptance of the diversity of the culture from different countries and how each one
of them is respected to give everyone an equal chance to succeed. Professionally, I
was able to gain and kept myself abreast with some of the current education issues
and readings that I have not been able to do much when I am back in my home
country. I will always remember the time here being able to have the luxury of time
to reflect upon my own beliefs as a teacher and reaffirm my commitments to do my
best to be a better teacher for my students. It is also rewarding for me to be able
to put together some of my learning points in my project and I am excited to share
what I have learnt here with my colleagues back at home. Overall, this has been
another steep learning curve for me.”
-Ann Mei Leng Wong, Singapore, 2011 grantee to the U.S.
