The Agony and the Ecstasy: Converting Traditional ILT to the Virtual Classroom
In a world of reduced funding and increasing velocity, organizations are delivering more training online than ever. Successfully converting traditional ILT to Virtual Instructor-Led Training (V-ILT) needs more than just awareness of virtual classrooms. It demands: understanding of learning models and adult learning principals; resourceful delivery models; and a fluency in virtual instructional design. Effective V-ILT requires a different toolset which are not always 1:1 matches to familiar ILT tools. Creative approaches to familiar concepts provide stability for participants, reducing cognitive load for better learning. This presentation reviews best practices and hard-won design tips for converting ILT to V-ILT.

African American Vernacular English
African American Vernacular English is a systematic, rule-governed dialect spoken by millions of Americans. It has roots in West African languages and developed further during the eras of slavery and segregation. While seen as non-standard by some, it transmits important cultural aspects of identity and history.
Students who speak AAVE often face a dilemma, as their community speaks one version of English but schools expect standard English. This can cause students to feel they must change their identity to succeed academically. Educators also face tensions in how to respect both dialects. The document outlines linguistic features of AAVE and implications for how students learn to read and write standard English.
Varieties of english
Regional variations in English dialects can emerge from geographical dispersion and isolation, potentially developing into distinct languages over time. Social variations occur between ethnic, socioeconomic, age, gender, and education groups. While no single standard of English is universally accepted, national standards have emerged in countries like the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. These standards differ in orthography, vocabulary, and pronunciation depending on things like region, social group, topic of discussion, whether written or spoken, and level of formality.

The researcher will conduct semi-structured interviews with 40 Polish immigrants in Ireland to understand their experiences and attitudes regarding standard versus non-standard accents. The findings could provide insights into how accent is used to differentiate and discriminate, as well as issues of linguistic colonialism in the context of globalization and standard English.

Pride & Prejudice and Confucius_Katherine Neal
This document discusses etiquette and manners in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice from a Confucian perspective. It provides context on Confucius' view of ritual propriety and its role in maintaining social harmony. Confucius believed ritual propriety should govern all interactions based on one's social roles and relationships. The document analyzes how characters in Pride and Prejudice observe or disregard social etiquette rules of Austen's Regency-era British society, and whether their behaviors would be considered acceptable by Confucian standards of ritual propriety.

The document discusses a decrease in cyber attacks attributed to Chinese groups according to an update on Chinese cyber attacks against the U.S. It hypothesizes that the frequency of attacks will remain low in the short term but increase over the long term, potentially due to a Sino-U.S. agreement against corporate cyber attacks and restructuring of China's People's Liberation Army changing their attack strategy for international image reasons. It forecasts that while attacks will continue at a low frequency and target private companies less, the number of attacks will increase over time.

China poses the biggest long-term threat to U.S. cybersecurity through frequent cyberattacks. While attacks have decreased in recent years due to an agreement between the U.S. and China, the threat is expected to increase again over the long term as China has no incentive to fully stop attacks. The U.S. private sector and critical infrastructure are most vulnerable. A major international dispute could prompt a large-scale Chinese cyberattack against the U.S. as retaliation.

The document discusses strategies for countering ISIS recruitment efforts on social media in the United States. It proposes conducting a covert CIA operation to infiltrate ISIS's social media networks by creating fake online profiles to interact with recruiters. If contact is made, interrogating recruiters could provide intelligence on recruitment techniques. It also suggests community programs bringing Muslims and non-Muslims together to reduce isolation and make recruitment appeals less effective. A dual approach of military tactics, covert operations, and social programs is recommended to protect citizens and undermine the ideology driving ISIS.

Chinese cyberattacks against the US pose long term threats to national security. The US power grid and critical infrastructure sectors are most vulnerable. While the daily number of attacks has decreased since 2015 agreements, China has increased sophistication so attacks are harder to detect. The US lacks effective countermeasures and China has no incentive to fully stop cyber espionage. Future disputes could prompt more attacks aimed at the US private sector.
