This document proposes a GPS navigation app called Gonq Maps designed specifically for students at Algonquin College and other colleges/universities in Ottawa. It would provide turn-by-turn directions to classrooms on campus, track friends' locations, integrate class schedules and ID cards, list campus events, and more. Market research found 100% of students want such an app. With over 61,000 students at Algonquin alone, the projected annual revenue from app sales and advertising is over $1.6 million. The app aims to save students time and money while getting them to their destinations easily.
This document summarizes a presentation on a study that examined the impact of using karaoke on English language learners' motivation to learn vocabulary in Chile. The study used a mixed-methods approach with 67 secondary students over 5 weeks. Results from pre/post questionnaires and open-ended questions indicated that using popular songs through karaoke had a positive impact on students' motivation, especially in improving pronunciation and vocabulary. Further research with larger samples was recommended.
The document discusses using Kaizena and a cover letter to facilitate dialogic feedback between teachers and students. It notes challenges with current written feedback and how audio feedback could help but often remains a monologue. The study aimed to evaluate how a cover letter and Kaizena's audio commenting tools could encourage dialogue. Results found students preferred face-to-face feedback but tools enhanced dialogue. While limitations remain, combining tools and learner-centered approaches may further feedback conversations.
The document provides guidance on different forms of arts writing, including criticism, reviews, interviews, and essays. It outlines a standard technique for arts criticism that involves description, analysis, interpretation/reflection, and judgment of an artistic piece. Description objectively outlines key details about the work, while analysis examines how individual elements and the work as a whole convey meaning. The piece should also include the writer's response and consider any connections between the work and outside topics. Judgment evaluates the work's success or failure according to various criteria.

Respuesta a la pregunta de UPyD sobre una tasa a internet en Cataluñaupydeuropa
La Ley 15/2014 de Cataluña establece una tasa de 0,25 euros al mes por cada conexión de internet para financiar el sector audiovisual catalán. Esto podría aumentar el precio de acceso a internet en España, que ya es el segundo país más caro de la UE para internet. La Comisión Europea ha criticado tasas similares en otros países por afectar negativamente a los usuarios y al crecimiento digital. La pregunta solicita la opinión de la Comisión sobre si ha recibido información sobre la ley catalana, si considera que una tasa es la
This document discusses reshaping the English language classroom in technical high schools in Chile. It describes a study that used mixed methods to understand how standardized English tests influence students' opportunities and job prospects. Interviews with teachers found that English lessons focus on grammar and vocabulary rather than communication. Surveys found students feel unprepared for standardized tests and lack exposure to English outside of school. The conclusion states that while English is seen as important for social mobility, standardized tests do not reflect what students learn in school or the skills needed for future use of English.

This document proposes a new platform called Danpatra to facilitate donations of unused resources. It would connect donors who have surplus books, stationery, or space to NGOs who can collect these items and distribute them to those in need. Key metrics like the number of donors and partner NGOs would be tracked. The target audiences are individuals with unused resources and a desire to help, as well as regular donors and NGOs. Validation for the idea comes from statistics on individual donations in India and success of other donation platforms. Marketing would involve corporate tie-ups and sponsorships, while revenue streams include further sponsorships and donations.
