TXDLA 2015 Presentation: Using Unity3D for Creating Simulations for HealthcareE S
A blended team from Texas State University and University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston used Unity3D to create a training module for Linear Accelerator technicians. The training is comprised of linear presentations of content followed by hands on exercises that immerses the student in a simulated treatment room and allows them to acclimate to the clinic environment as well as familiarizing them with the core concepts of a Linear Accelerator.

Asking the Right Questions, Making the Right Decisions: Selecting Accessibl...Aisha Jackson
This PowerPoint was used in my presentation at the Teaching and Learning Technology Symposium at MSU Denver on Friday, October 22.
Although there are a plethora of web-based learning tools faculty can select from, not all of them will help students learn. There are a number of reasons for this - from the way the course was designed, to the strategies that were used to integrate the technology. This session will focus on one particular component that can impact student learning - accessibility. By the end of this session, participants will be able to: describe issues that poorly designed web-based learning tools cause when being accessed by assistive technologies, list core questions to ask vendors related to the accessibility of their tools, and make informed decisions when selecting academic technologies.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Locks down the Quiz tool in Desire2Learn
Students are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or
access other applications
Once a Quiz has started, students cannot exit until the
Submit Quiz button is clicked
3. How it Works
1. Faculty enable RLDB in D2L quiz settings.
2. Students follow a provided link to download and install
RLDB.
3. To take the exam, student enable RLDB.
4. The RLDB browser launches and takes students to the
D2L log-in page.
5. Students locate and complete the quiz in D2L.
6. After submitting the quiz, students are able to exit RLDB.

Determine if RLDB should be licensed for the campus
Results would help to:
Inform us of what we need to inform the IT Service Center
Identify, resolve or establish work arounds for technical issues
Develop guidance for students and faculty

Practice quiz recommendation
Sample syllabus statement
Having a back up plan
Meetings with faculty
OIT staff attended exams
8. Pilots Results
Suzanne Nelson
Saved 40,000 sheets of
paper
RLDB addressed her exam
security concerns
Didn’t feel she could
troubleshoot on her own
Would like to use RLDB in
the future
Leeds Faculty
BCOR 1015 and 3010 withdrew
from the pilot
Size of courses and wireless
Non RLDB needs weren’t met
MGMT 4010
6 students had technical
issues
Felt support, though
unprepared
Didn’t feel RLDB was “ready
for prime time”
Willing to try again with
additional practice
9. Lessons Learned
RLDB has some support
challenges
Lack of consistency in
error messages
Difficulty troubleshooting
issues after its been
disabled
Difficulty troubleshooting
wireless
Machines freezing and
needing to restart in
order to get out of RLDB
Variability across student
machines
Given the challenges, we
need to determine how we
can scale support
Additional capacity is
needed to support RLDB
Wireless
Power
There appears to be a need
for lock down functionality
outside of the LMS
10. Way Forward
Discontinue RLDB license in the fall
Survey Suzanne Nelson’s students
Publishing online exam best practices to the OIT website
Launching eExam Project to understand campus needs,
explore solutions, and determine feasibility
This semester we conducted a pilot of a product called RLDB.
I want to share the results of the pilot, our lessons learned, and the way forward.
I asked my colleague, Mark Gammon to join me today. He is one of the ATCs in the ATDT group, that worked with me on the pilot.
Before we get into the details about the pilot, I want to tell you a little about what it is.

Made worse by high stakes
Troubleshooting takes up student exam time
Need to communicate decision to campus
Likert Scale Questions
I prefer taking my exam online versus pen/paper.
Respondus LockDown Browser was easy to use.
I would recommend the use of Respondus LockDown Browser for other courses.
