2.3 Impact of Lecture Capture on staff's teaching practice
Lecture capture can impact staff teaching practice in several ways according to a study that surveyed and interviewed staff. It found the most significant impacts were on:
1. Supporting learning and providing assessment/feedback, with most staff agreeing it improved accommodating diverse student needs.
2. Engaging in professional development and evaluating teaching, with most staff agreeing it contributed to reflecting on teaching and getting peer feedback.
3. Developing effective learning environments to a lesser extent, with mixed feedback on enhancing visual aids but providing student support.
The study provides new evidence that lecture capture can positively influence core teaching skills and knowledge defined by the UK Professional Standards Framework.

Learning from Polio Eradication_5.15.11_Shimp
This document discusses community involvement strategies that were used in Nigeria to improve polio vaccination rates, particularly in northern Nigeria. It outlines approaches used like engaging traditional leaders, women's groups, and religious leaders to identify missed children and track vaccination status. Data shows improvements in routine vaccination coverage from 2005 to 2010 and reductions in the number of missed children and non-compliant settlements during vaccination campaigns in 2011 when these community strategies were utilized. Preliminary results demonstrated reaching more special populations and timely routine immunization.
The Case for Integrating Nutrition and Family Planning_Blanchard_5.3.12
Short birth intervals (less than 12 months) between pregnancies increase risks for adverse maternal and child health outcomes like mortality, preterm birth, low birth weight, stunting, and underweight. Waiting at least 24 months between pregnancies could reduce child mortality under age 5 by 13% and waiting 36 months could reduce it by 25%. Breastfeeding is linked to delayed return of fertility through lactational amenorrhea. Early termination of breastfeeding due to a new pregnancy is associated with higher child mortality. Integrating family planning and breastfeeding support could help optimize the benefits of birth spacing on maternal, infant, and young child health and nutrition.

Building stronger systems for sl os and program review
This document discusses lessons learned from the BRIC Initiative about building stronger systems for student learning outcomes (SLOs) and program review. The BRIC Initiative provided on-campus support to help colleges improve internal practices like SLOs and program review by focusing on meaningful, sustainable, and consistent processes. Colleges wanted to reform these processes to make them simpler and more useful. The Initiative found that creating time and space for conversation allowed good ideas to be implemented. Improving SLOs and program review requires engaging a wide range of people in analyzing data and developing action plans, rather than creating additional processes.
MCH Curricula: Strategies for Developing Materials_Hanold_5.11.11
The document discusses facilitation cues for effective behavior change communication. It notes that technical messages alone have not led to behavior change and root causes like beliefs and attitudes need to be addressed. It recommends standard guides for trainers that integrate behavior change theory, formative research, and participatory methods. The ASPIRE model is introduced which uses cues like asking about current practices, showing new skills, discussing barriers, and requesting commitments. Research supports each step of the model. Facilitation cues are added to supervision tools to check that key steps are followed in order to better facilitate behavior change.
Data Driven Decision Making Presentation
The document discusses how to implement a data-driven decision making process that drives cultural change at community colleges, noting that such a process requires defining value for all stakeholders, collecting and analyzing relevant data to identify issues and root causes, and using the findings to implement changes that are evaluated through post-testing to determine effectiveness.

Learning networks-2012 griffiths-richards-harrison
This document discusses using feedback to improve instructional design practices. It describes initiatives at Thompson Rivers University to more systematically evaluate and share learning activities. Interviews identified factors for successful activities and feedback desired by designers. Designers deal with many variables intuitively, unaware of implications. The complexity of their work is underrecognized. Providing shared "rules of thumb" documents and distributing the design process could help amplify designers' response to complex problems. Feedback should test hypotheses about what works and inform practice through action research. This closes the loop between feedback, analytics, and design.

Presentation_Wesseling - Private Public Partnerships and CKDu
This document discusses the epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) affecting agricultural workers along the Pacific coast of Central America. It provides evidence that the disease has an occupational etiology related to heat stress and dehydration experienced by sugarcane and other field workers. Studies show physiological changes in workers consistent with heat stress and dehydration across work shifts. Longitudinal studies find declines in kidney function over harvest seasons among heat-exposed occupations. Intervention studies reducing heat stress through water, rest, and shade have shown reduced declines in kidney function. While some non-occupational factors may also contribute, the evidence strongly suggests that prolonged occupational heat stress is a primary driver of the CKDu epidemic.
Presentation_NCDs - Private Public Partnerships and CKDu
Non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes are leading causes of death and disability globally but receive little focus from global health initiatives. While communicable diseases have declined in recent decades, deaths from non-communicable diseases have increased and pose growing health and economic challenges as treatments remain limited. Experts call for greater prioritization and resources for non-communicable diseases on the global health agenda.

Presentation_Discussion - Norms Shifting Interventions
Participants in a small group discussed how to integrate norms-shifting interventions into current projects and programs. They considered what new partnerships would be needed when working to shift social norms and what evidence of the effectiveness of norms-shifting interventions should be collected, for whom, and how.
Presentation_Krieger - Norms Shifting Interventions
The document discusses the origins and theories of social norms. It notes that early theorists like Durkheim, Weber, and Ogburn contributed to understanding where norms come from and how they guide behavior. Parsons further explored how members of society are socialized to norms. Later, feminist anthropologists studied norms and social control, especially regarding gender. The document contrasts philosophical, psychological, and anthropological approaches to studying norms and culture. It argues that knowledge of cultural norms can help reduce unexpected outcomes in social science and shift narratives to achieve behavior change. The example of the Albania Family Planning Project shows how understanding local norms was key to successfully promoting contraceptive use.
Presentation_NSI - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses the key attributes of norms-shifting interventions. It identifies several attributes that make an intervention effective at shifting social norms, including seeking community-level change, engaging people at multiple levels, correcting misperceptions around harmful behaviors, confronting power imbalances related to gender, creating safe spaces for critical reflection, rooting the issue within community values, accurately assessing norms, using organized diffusion, and creating positive new norms. The document provides examples and explanations for each of these attributes.
Presentation_Igras - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses using theory to inform the work of a learning collaborative (LC) on norms-shifting interventions for adolescent reproductive health. It outlines several relevant theories, including social norm and behavior change theory and communication and behavior change theories. It also discusses the value of "bottom-up" program change theory developed from implementation experience. The LC aims to facilitate collaboration between organizations, build knowledge, and develop shared tools to guide effective social norm measurement and practice at scale. By working collaboratively, the LC can take a more experimental approach in this nascent field while still being informed by relevant theories.
Presentation_Petraglia - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses a constructivist perspective on norms and normative change. Some key points of constructivism are that knowledge is constructed through social interaction and prior experiences, and meaning is negotiated through language. Constructivism acknowledges that individuals belong to multiple reference groups and can choose which norms to follow in a given situation. Normative change interventions cannot directly manage or control norms, but may be able to influence them by facilitating dialogue, clarifying language, and encouraging ethical persuasion rather than direct attribution. Norms and beliefs are also difficult to accurately measure.
Presentation_Sprinkel - Norms Shifting Interventions
This presentation provides an overview of CARE's Tipping Point initiative which aims to address child, early and forced marriage in Nepal and Bangladesh through community programming and evidence generation. In Phase 1 from 2013-2017, the project worked with adolescents, parents and leaders in 16 districts across the two countries. Norms influencing child marriage include excluding girls' voices, controlling girls' sexuality, and perceptions of risks/benefits of marriage timing. Phase 2 implements a randomized control trial to generate evidence on effective gender transformative programming and the value of social norms approaches. Challenges included discussing sexuality while successes included girls gaining greater freedom and mobility.
Presentation_Tura - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses the Care Group approach used in an intervention in Nepal from 2005-2010. It aimed to shift social norms around maternal and child health issues through community groups. Formative research identified key norms and barriers. Community groups engaged women to reflect critically and root issues in community values. Evaluations found sustained impact on behaviors like breastfeeding years later. Challenges included focusing directly on norm drivers and unrealistic community health worker workloads. Further research on accurate norm assessment and evidence-based norm-shifting is still needed.
Presentation_Sacher - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document summarizes Cristina Bicchieri's theory of social norms, which is grounded in philosophy, game theory, and psychology. The key aspects of the theory include conditional preferences that depend on social expectations, personal normative beliefs about what should be done, and expectations about what others in one's reference network do and think should be done. The implications for practice highlighted in the document include providing a theory of change, identifying the nature of norms to design appropriate interventions, and using data and illustrative vignettes to measure norms and guide social change programs.

Presentation_Jurczynska - Catalyzing Investments in RMNCAH at the Community L...
The document describes an evidence-based advocacy model called the Family Planning – Sustainable Development Goals (FP-SDGs) model. The model allows users to quantify the impacts of different family planning scenarios on 13 Sustainable Development Goal indicators out to 2030 or 2050. Users input baseline data and create three future scenarios capturing various levels of ambition for family planning and other socioeconomic factors. The model then projects population figures and calculates outcomes for the SDG indicators. Results can support advocacy efforts to increase funding and prioritization of family planning programs and policies. Examples of the model's use in Malawi, Tanzania, and West Africa demonstrate its ability to quantify potential development impacts of expanding access to voluntary family planning.
