UL 23 Things 7 1/2 habits of successful life long learnerspeter.reilly
This document outlines 7 1/2 habits to cultivate lifelong learning. The habits include: beginning with the end in mind, taking responsibility for your own learning, viewing problems as challenges, having confidence as a competent learner, creating your own learning toolbox, using technology to your advantage, teaching and mentoring others, and playing.
This document discusses key aspects in the theory and practice of online learning. It covers instructional design considerations for online courses, the evolution of online learning from early text-based courses to today's use of learning management systems, and strategies for effective online course development and teaching. Faculty support, active learning, technical skills, and collaborative course development are important factors for creating high-quality online instruction.
Terry Wanzek is a fourth generation farmer from North Dakota who farms over 10,000 acres with his family. He discussed how biotechnology has benefited his farming operations through reduced costs, higher yields, and increased profits. Biotechnology has allowed no-till farming practices that conserve soil and reduce erosion while improving the environment for wildlife. Data from the USDA showed increases in acres of wheat, barley, soybeans, and corn planted over time in his county, indicating the profitable impact of biotechnology for farmers. Wanzek's overall message was that biotechnology provides economic and environmental sustainability for family farms and guarantees a future for the next generation of farmers.
