M25 meeting 2008

Amanda Wilson-Kennard

London Metropolitan University has approximately 34,000 students from 150 countries supported by around 3,000 staff members. In 2006-2007, the university migrated from its previous learning management system, WebCT, to Blackboard Vista, piloting it in some departments. With only 1-2 learning technologists, training consisted of twice daily basic Blackboard sessions and bespoke departmental training. Now, the university aims for 100% Blackboard usage but still only has 2 learning technologists providing open and customized training, online support, and half-hour one-on-one Blackboard surgeries. Over 60% of modules are now online, and customer satisfaction is high, but more staff are needed for effective learning technology support.

1) A posting ad prototype was created to connect students with small businesses for learning opportunities. The ad contained basic contact and background information that could be cut out and saved using a QR code for more details. 2) A "Tele-Pills" prototype was designed to allow telepathic communication between students and managers by swallowing a pill. It aimed to provide an easy connection option but was not realistically possible. 3) Testing the prototypes provided feedback on what worked well, could be improved, and generated new ideas like a matching app or centralized website for student-business connections. It reinforced that prototyping is a valuable way to refine ideas through an informal feedback process.

This document discusses planning learning experiences to support a lesson's performance task. It explains that learning experiences are developed after designing the task and teach necessary content and skills. Examples show how activities prepare students to meet task expectations by having them understand key generalizations. The document emphasizes that learning experiences directly engage students and align with standards and objectives to effectively lead them to demonstrating their learning in the performance task.

50 solutions

VictoriaGom

The document proposes communication channels to connect students and managers of small businesses. It identifies that students and managers currently do not communicate well or know how to connect. Several ideas for solutions are presented, including hosting social and competitive events at universities, creating learning opportunities like internships that combine career and study time, and facilitating online and in-person networking through tools like listing students interested in small firms and vice versa. The most practical solution is proposed as internships that combine career and study. The most disruptive idea suggests a hypothetical "YES" pill that helps users connect telepathically.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP

RAHUL

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade. The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization, population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different 'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the land. The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover. Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface, providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and diverse human activities. Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems 9 Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can occur natural.
