Targeting Student Acceptance Factors to Shape a Successful Full-Scale Impleme...ExamSoft
Presented by Veronica Michaelsen and Stephanie Sarandos
Vertical- Medical
Computer-based testing (CBT) offers a variety of advantages over paper-based testing including improved security and ease of longitudinal tracking of student performance over all phases of the curriculum. However, CBT, like any other innovation, should be implemented thoughtfully. Any successful implementation strategy must account for student acceptance and provide sufficient practice that the extraneous cognitive load is minimized.
While extraneous cognitive load should decrease with use, it has also been shown that student opinion toward CBT improves with exposure. Following use of CBT, students perceive the system to be easier to use and they express more confidence in the technology. Still, there is an increased level of anxiety whenever a new technology is introduced. Students’ first experience to CBT should be deliberately designed to address common concerns. Practice quizzes can improve student acceptance of and option toward computer based testing but even these should be developed thoughtfully.
In this session, we will briefly describe our approach to the issue of student acceptance and how we utilized student concerns from a pilot to inform our full-scale implementation. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their strategies and plans with the goal of developing a consensus around the subject of student orientation to maximize acceptance of CBT.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1) Participants will become aware of the types of cognitive load that can impact student performance during CBT.
2) Participants will become familiar with the literature on student acceptance of educational technologies.
3) Participants will have the opportunity to share concerns about and strategies for student acceptance of CBT.
4) Participants will take part in building a consensus around best practices for student orientation to CBT.

2010 IBC - Managing risks of control room operationsAndy Brazier
Control rooms are facilities where operations can be monitored and controlled through received data and transmitted commands. They act as the "brain" of the system but deprive operators of using their senses to understand problems. Modern control rooms provide benefits like relieving operators of hazardous tasks but can also overload them with alarms and non-intuitive interfaces. A balanced and user-centered approach to control room design is needed to address issues like excessive distractions, alarms, fatigue, and unreliable communication methods. Control rooms are tools to aid people in operating systems safely and effectively.

Automation can reduce project costs by eliminating delays and improving efficiency. A research report analyzed the impact of automation tools on software development costs through literature reviews, interviews, and surveys. The primary motivations for automation were found to be improving quality and reducing costs. Challenges included defining automated processes and overcoming employees' reluctance to change. Surveys indicated that employees fear job loss from automation. To successfully implement automation, clear processes must be defined and employees trained, while avoiding perceived threats to jobs. Addressing these social and technical challenges can allow organizations to benefit from the increased efficiency and reduced costs that automation can provide.
1) The document provides an overview of quality problem solving tools including the 8D (Eight Disciplines) problem solving method, 5 Whys process, and Ishikawa (fishbone) diagram.
2) The 8D method is an 8-step team-based problem solving approach that focuses on containing, correcting, and preventing recurrence of problems. The steps include establishing a team, describing the problem, implementing containment actions, identifying root causes, and validating corrective actions.
3) The 5 Whys process involves repeatedly asking "Why?" to get to the root cause of a problem. It helps identify not only why the defect occurred but also why it was not detected.
4) The Ish
Total Quality Management (TQM) is a methodology that focuses on customer satisfaction and views quality as a strategic issue. The key principles of TQM include making quality everyone's responsibility, continuous quality improvement, cooperation between employees and management, and training. The Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle is used for continuous process improvement by planning a change, implementing it, checking the results, and acting on the findings. Tools of TQM include check sheets, cause-and-effect diagrams, Pareto charts, flowcharts, histograms, and brainstorming to identify and address quality issues.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a structured process that identifies the underlying causes of undesirable events. It can be used for both single and multidisciplinary cases. The RCA process involves data collection, identifying the immediate causes and basic causes of failures, and determining where lack of control contributed. Common investigation techniques include STEP, FMEA, and fault tree analysis. Laboratory analysis of failed parts is also important for identifying causes like material defects, corrosion, or overloading. Identifying root causes allows corrective actions to be implemented to prevent future recurrence.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a structured process that identifies the underlying causes of undesirable events. It can be used for both single and multidisciplinary cases. The RCA process involves data collection, identifying the immediate causes and basic causes of failures, and determining the lack of controls that allowed the failure to occur. Conducting detailed analysis of failed parts through methods like STEP, FMEA, and FTA allows investigators to identify issues like material defects, improper operation, or inadequate maintenance as the root causes of failures. Addressing these root causes helps improve equipment reliability and availability while reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
This document outlines an 8-discipline methodology for systematically solving problems and documenting corrective actions. It involves assembling a team to: 1) build teamwork, 2) understand the problem, 3) take interim actions, 4) analyze root causes, 5) implement permanent corrective actions, 6) implement the actions, 7) take preventative actions, and 8) submit a report and congratulate the team. The roles of champion, team leader, facilitator and members are defined. Methods for root cause analysis such as why-why analysis, fishbone diagrams and experiments are provided. Steps are outlined for verifying the effectiveness of corrective actions and preventing future nonconformances.
