eLearning and the Future through Fact or Fishy
This document discusses the use of games and gamification in learning. It provides examples of how companies have successfully used games and gamification to engage employees in training. Research shows that games can be more effective than lectures at promoting different types of learning and retention. Effective elements of gamification include challenges, stories, avatars, feedback and allowing learners to fail. The document advocates using stories, characters, and interactivity to engage learners rather than relying on lectures or bulleted lists. It presents evidence that games can influence real-world behaviors in a positive way.
Games:EDU:08 North: Gregor White
This document discusses situated learning theory and its key principles of authentic learning environments. Situated learning promotes authentic activities that reflect real-world tasks, allows learners to observe expert modeling and receive coaching, and encourages collaboration, reflection and articulation of ideas. It emphasizes social learning through communities of practice and zones of proximal development to scaffold learning. The document questions whether this approach to teaching and learning is effective.
Rules of Order: Policy-Making as Game Design?
Game design elements could be used to improve policy outcomes related to health, environment, and civic participation. However, using games for policy-making promises both opportunities and challenges. It promises to design rule systems that holistically address behaviors and experiences rather than just outcomes. But it also risks unintended consequences from how participation is structured and power distributed, as well as gaming the system to resist unrealistic targets. Overall, game design applied to policy holds promise if issues around legitimacy, transparency, and system gaming are adequately addressed.
The 5 Senses Learning Game
The document describes an interactive game about the 5 senses (hearing, smell, sight, taste, and touch) for children to learn. It asks questions to test their knowledge about which body parts correspond to each sense and examples of objects that can be experienced with each sense. Upon answering the multiple choice questions correctly, it provides positive feedback and moves to the next question, or allows the player to try again if incorrect. At the end, it congratulates the player on completing the game and allows them to start over from the beginning.

It notes that boundaries are blurring between different types of media, such as news becoming entertainment and vice versa. It then lists many popular social media platforms and web tools in no particular order, including Twitter, Facebook, blogs, YouTube, Flickr, and services for video, photos, self-publishing, and mobile content sharing.

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
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.
