Learning Analytics: Seeking new insights from educational dataAndrew Deacon
CPUT Fundani TWT - 22 May 2014
Analytics is a buzzword that encompasses the analysis and visualisation of big data. Current interest results from the growing access to data and the many software tools now available to analyse this data in Higher Education, through platforms such as Learning Management Systems. This seminar provides an overview of current applications and uses of learning analytics and how it can help institutions of learning better support their learners. The illustrative examples look at institutional and social media data that together provide rich insights into institutional, teaching and learning issues. A few simple ways to perform such analytics in a context of Higher Education will be introduced.

Assessing Transformative Learning Beyond the ClassroomD2L
When the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) was choosing a new LMS, they knew it needed to be easy to use—but also flexible enough to support their specific goals. With Brightspace, they’ve been able to develop a new way to track learning activities that happen outside the classroom. It’s called the Student Transformative Learning Record (STLR). Now, their students can share the non-academic learning experiences and skills they've gained with graduate schools and potential employers.
These are some of the resources that were shared at the Bonner Foundation's High-Impact Initiative Planning Retreat (March 2014) - "Civic Scholars: Engaged Campuses", held at Allegheny College. Several types of strategies and approaches for ensuring that campus culture, policies, and practices support deep community engagement and public scholarship were shared.

The Knowledge Exchange is a partnership of six national
organisations within Europe. As part of its ambition to make
Open Scholarship work, the Knowledge Exchange has developed
a Framework for Open Scholarship. This sets out the different
phases in the research life cycle against a variety of perspectives
that present barriers/challenges for Science/Scholarship to
be open, at the same time acknowledging that there are many
levels of stakeholders, reaching from individual researchers to
institutions to national governments. In this talk the presenters
will explain the partnership and share their recent report and
current work around Open Scholarship.

NIH Loan Repayment Program (LRP) Info Session - 9/26/23UCLA CTSI
The UCLA CTSI and DGSOM Office of Physician Scientist Career Development held this webinar to provide information on the NIH Loan Repayment Program (LRP). This funding is designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or biobehavioral research careers. The LRPs counteract financial pressure by repaying up to $50,000 annually of a researcher's qualified educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

K Awards – Common Pitfalls and UCLA CTSI KL2 Resources (2023)

K PROPOSAL - COMMON PITFALLS
Ella Nemeth, PhD
2. K proposal pitfalls and advice
Research plan
Education plan
Candidate’s statement
Biosketch tips
3. Research Plan pitfalls
• Aims are too exploratory or too vague
– should be hypothesis-driven, specific and focused
• Proposal solely based on an idea without preliminary data
• Aims dependent on each other
• Presumptions about aim outcomes (“This aim will demonstrate
that X does Y…”)
• Pitfalls and alternatives section does not confront the most
important pitfalls (focused on small technical issues rather
than fundamental conceptual challenges)
• Vague statistics
4. Finding the right size project
• Number and scope of aims should fit the study timeline
(avoid too limited or too ambitious)
• Are resources adequate to support the project (finances,
expertise, populations, animal models, technology…)
5. Education Plan
• Too complicated
• Rule of 3’s for the Education Plan
– 3 Aims
– 3 Educational objectives
– 3 Mentors
• Tie together aims, education objectives, mentors
6. Example of Education Plan Overview
Activity Details Description
Objective 1: biochemistry (Mentor: James Watson)
Course Biochem 101 glycolytic pathway
Seminar photosyntesis overview of XYZ
Workshop lipid metabolism mechanisms of treatment
Objective 2: statistics (Mentor: James Heckman)
Course Stats 203 survival analysis
Seminar coding in R methods for coding
Workshop data intepretation graphic analysis of results
Objective 3: Social networks (Mentor: Nicholas Christakis)
Course psych 203 social support and impact
Course sociology 404 Social network analysis
Tutorial Network structure Tutorial with Dr. Christakis on network structure, dyad analysis, centrality
Responsible conduct of research
Course biomath 505 Ethics in conduct of research, IRB, …
Career Development
Seminar K Scholars Society Grant writing, mentoring, communication, leadership and team science
8. Candidate’s Statement
• Should not be a summary of educational/training pathway, but
show the pathway of research interests
• Highlight research findings/impact/implications
• Emphasize publication trajectory (if a concern)
• Focus on Career not Project:
– What is the BIG research question you will investigate?
– Excite the reader about your 10-year plan (Link K to R01)
• Describe separation from mentor (if needed)
9. Biosketches
• Include link to full bibliography
• Preferably do not list:
‒ Abstracts
‒ Publications that are not original science
‒ Publications that are not peer-reviewed
