What Could Go Right? Story of Connect Your Passion Advancing Learning 2014
Dr. Jason Dewling presented on Olds College's initiative called "Connect Your Passion" which aimed to modernize learning through increased bandwidth, mobile device integration, and gamification of courses. The goals were to engage digital learners by making the learning experience more immediate, interactive, and game-like. Early results found high student satisfaction and engagement, as well as faculty recognizing benefits with proper support. Dewling emphasized starting with a bold vision, empowering students and faculty, and ongoing training to ensure appropriate technology integration enhances rather than replaces learning.
Learning styles and technology
Russell Stannard discusses how using screen capture software and technologies can help make teaching and learning more inclusive of multiple learning styles. He explains how he began using screen capture software to provide video feedback to students and create tutorial videos. This approach proved very popular with students and teachers. Stannard then describes how these techniques can be applied to other areas like assessments, course materials, and reflections to engage more learning styles. He provides several examples of technologies like Jing, SnagIt, myBrainShark and Present.Me that can be used to create multimedia explanations and student presentations.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
