Persuasive Proposals for increasing electronic resourcesVirginia Cairns
This document provides tips for creating persuasive proposals to increase electronic resources and library services. It recommends collecting comprehensive data on campus demographics, existing surveys, e-journal usage, interlibrary loan, and website usage to identify needs. Budget information should be included to show how the resource supports strategic plans and current funding gaps. Qualitative feedback from librarians, faculty, and students can strengthen the proposal. Well-chosen quotes and visuals can help sell the idea. The proposal should have a lean, focused format with hard data, soft qualitative evidence, and a compelling conclusion.
The document discusses executing and tracking a project management plan by hosting a kickoff event, setting the schedule and pace, tracking progress through regular status meetings, monitoring activities and adjusting timelines and budgets as needed, ensuring regular communication through status reports from workgroups, using technologies like Google Docs to keep all members informed, balancing leadership style with the team's styles, and avoiding pitfalls like lack of communication and oversight.

Data Placemats: Construction and Practical Design TipsInnovation Network
Increasing stakeholder involvement throughout the evaluation lifecycle, not only enhances stakeholder buy-in to the final evaluation results, but it also ensures that the evaluator is taking into consideration multiple viewpoints to be able to provide a more comprehensive picture of a program or initiative. Data placemats, a data viz technique to improve stakeholder understanding of data, can be used to communicate preliminary evaluation results during the analysis phase of the evaluation life cycle. When done correctly, it offers stakeholders an opportunity to form their own judgments about the data and weigh in prior to the final report. In this session, the presenter will review the concept of data placemats, focusing specifically on the nuts and bolts of constructing a data placemat.

Advising Technology: The Needs Assessment & Implementation ProcessLaura Pasquini
Technology can provide new ways to connect, collaborate and share resources for academic advising. Successful implementation of technology in advising is often the results of a needs assessment and planning process. During the review and planning process, advising units will be able to identify areas for where digital resources are most suitable, accessible, and meaningful for their students.
There are many online tools and resources to support academic advisors; however a critical part of technology implementation is the assessment and planning process. It is important to review the departmental objectives and learning outcomes to ensure it aligns the advising unit's learning strategy to meet departmental needs and training focus (Brandon, 2006). Attendees will learn how to effectively conduct a needs assessment and implement technology into their advising practice.
Participants will brainstorm ideas around program initiation, collaborative partnerships & teams, project planning, and models for implementing technology in advising to meet the needs of their students, staff and faculty at their home institution.
The document discusses the challenges of implementing an electronic health record system and provides an evidence-based approach to increase the likelihood of success. It outlines a 4 phase process: 1) Assessment to evaluate current state and objectives, 2) Planning with stakeholder engagement and detailed project planning, 3) Implementation including training, governance and go-live, and 4) Improvement with ongoing monitoring and adjustments. Key takeaways include the importance of clinical leadership, defining success, stakeholder engagement, effective training, and ongoing system evaluation.
The document outlines an information and technology literacy planning process that includes creating a 6-part plan with executive summary, current status analysis, action plans for educator proficiency, teaching and learning practices, access to information/tools, and support systems. It also details needs assessments collected from students, teachers, administrators and others, and next steps to study the current plan, analyze data, identify needs, and work on action plans.
Tracking participants after they complete a higher education program is important for evaluating the program's impact but can be time consuming. The document discusses several strategies that can be used to more efficiently track participants, including collecting initial contact information, searching social media and public databases, conducting online surveys, developing automated tracking systems, and leveraging information from colleagues. It emphasizes that a robust tracking system and exploring new technologies like big data analytics can help improve outcomes assessment, but proper protections for participant data and technical expertise are needed.

Sample Problem Based Learning Lesson Plan (STEM)Virginia Cairns
This document outlines a lesson plan for a CHEM 4530 class on proteins and nucleic acids. The plan involves an activity where students work in groups to research broad interdisciplinary questions. They are given time to brainstorm, search for sources, and develop research strategies. Groups then present their processes. As homework, students must write a lab report applying what they learned about interdisciplinary research and source evaluation during the in-class activity. The report should follow a specific format including an introduction, literature review on their topic, methods outlining their research process, a discussion of interdisciplinarity, and conclusions with cited sources.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
