The document discusses innovative online business courses available through the University of Virginia and other institutions. It covers how technology has disrupted education and made information abundant and accessible to many. The document also discusses pedagogical approaches to designing successful online learning and provides an overview of global business courses offered online from UVa and other universities. Usage data is also presented showing high mobile access of online content.

IAFOR Japan Transforming Lives Through Open Educational ResourcesDr. Kristin Palmer
This document summarizes an open online course on personal branding offered through Coursera. It provides statistics on the number of learners, assignments, and learner feedback. Over 80,000 learners from around the world have taken the course. Assignments included creating a mission statement, board of directors, and social media plan. Learners provided positive feedback, saying the course helped clarify their goals and values and gain confidence in their personal brands. They appreciated the instructor's knowledge, meaningful assignments, availability, and care for students.
This is a presentation that I have put together for our Vice President of Information Technology (Ron Hutchins) for the OLLI talk in Charlottesville on October 14, 2016. The talk is to look at technology trends and what UVa is doing for each of these trends. Ron does white slides with a lot of text so I am drafting up these slides as an example of what I would present if I was the one doing the presentation.
Character development refers to how a character changes from the beginning to the end of a story due to their actions, speech, appearance, and how others describe them. A story's plot establishes a problem at the start and uses a sequence of events to bring the story to a climax and resolution. Setting provides the time and place of the story to help readers visualize and understand characters. Point of view determines whether the story is told from a first-person or third-person perspective. A theme is the main idea that ties a story together, often conveying a message about human nature or society.
This document discusses proper paragraph structure and composition. It states that while concluding sentences are not necessary for middle paragraphs of an essay, the topic sentence should introduce and hook the reader into the topic. The body sentences then provide more details and information about the topic discussed in the topic sentence. Additionally, longer paragraphs are not inherently better - the key is to focus on clear structure with a topic sentence, supporting points, and conclusion.

African Scholarship Cohort - Bringing Online OER to Africa Dr. Kristin Palmer
This is a presentation that provides a high level insight into the African Scholarship Program at the University of Virginia. This program relies on providing a free specialization of open educational resources provided by Darden to students in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Bringing Global Stories into the Classroom Through OER and MOOCsDr. Kristin Palmer
This document discusses bringing global stories into the classroom through open educational resources (OER) and massive open online courses (MOOCs), as presented by Dr. Kristin Olson Palmer at an international education technology conference. It includes polls asking about familiarity with the University of Virginia, the advantages and challenges of using OER, and plans to use OER. The document also shares positive student feedback about an OER course and encourages accessibility in educational resources.
Physics investigatory project on Ohm's LawPrakhar Seth
This document describes an experiment to verify Ohm's Law and determine the resistivity of different metal wires. The experiment involves measuring the current through and potential difference across samples of iron, aluminum, manganese and copper wire. Observations are recorded in tables and used to calculate the resistivity of each wire based on its dimensions. The results show the resistivity increases in the order of copper, aluminum, iron and manganese. In conclusion, Ohm's Law held for each metal as the relationship between potential and current was linear.
This provides an overview of the African Scholarship Cohort hosted by UVa and Darden for learners in sub Saharan Africa. This program utilized OER content. This talks to what worked and what didn't.
