This document discusses factors that have contributed to the decline of the US dollar as the global reserve currency since the 1960s, including the Vietnam War, doubts in international markets, OPEC requiring dollar reserves for oil purchases, and Iraq beginning to sell oil in euros. It also examines more recent factors like the global financial crisis, US trade and capital account deficits, foreign purchases of US assets, and central bank actions that have impacted the value of the dollar. Key reasons identified for the dollar's recent decline include reduced demand for safe haven US assets and foreign investors seeking higher yields elsewhere.
Increasing learner success with technology supported assessment: Findings fro...Martin Hawksey
The REAP project piloted the use of technology-supported assessment in large first-year courses across three universities in Scotland. The goals were to improve learning quality while gaining teaching efficiencies. Various technologies like online tests and simulations were used. This provided more formative feedback opportunities for students. Evaluations found improved exam results and reduced failure rates, showing positive learning impacts. Staff time savings were also achieved. The project aims to share these assessment redesign practices more widely.

Extracting and analyzing discussion data with google sheets and google analyticsMartin Hawksey
Online discussions can be a rich source of data for researchers in the humanities and social sciences. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use Google Sheets to push online discussion board data into Google Analytics, where it can be analysed. The session will also demonstrate how to use TAGS, the widely-used script for archiving Twitter data. Participants can bring their own laptops if they wish; there will also be desktop PCs for use.
Please note: if you’re not staff or student at the University of Edinburgh, you will need to obtain a temporary login from the registration desk in advance.
Data management is the process of managing data as a valuable resource to an organization. Both spreadsheets and relational databases have the ability to store and analyze information with similar charts and graphs available. However, spreadsheets become complicated when dealing with complex or abundant information, while relational databases allow for quick access and retrieval of consistent and reliable centralized data that is less likely to be incorrect or have discrepancies due to features that reduce redundant, irregular, or complex data issues.
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness globally. It occurs when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, which can impair vision and potentially lead to blindness if left untreated. Surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial lens is very effective at restoring vision and preventing blindness from cataracts.
