This document discusses strategies to improve student engagement and retention in higher education. It notes that the first year experience is critical for student success and that institutions need to take institution-wide approaches to enhancing this experience. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between academic staff, student support staff, and administrators to integrate initiatives that benefit all students. The document then provides several examples of how interconnectedness across an institution can help improve the first year experience and student learning engagement, such as through curriculum design, monitoring student engagement, and developing academic-professional partnerships.
The documents discuss the relationship between teaching and research in higher education. They provide definitions of a university and research-based learning. Several models are presented that describe different levels of integrating teaching and research from research-led to research-based curriculums. Case studies demonstrate strategies universities have used to better link teaching and research through coordinated departmental interventions and project-based learning. Overall, the documents argue that actively engaging students in research adapted for their discipline is one way to better connect teaching and research in higher education.
Reimagining inclusion in higher education in transformational post-pandemic t...Frederic Fovet
Much of the discourse around inclusion in higher education has thus far been grounded in scholarship on disability and impairment. As a result, inclusion in this sector has been defined and discussed mostly in terms of an ‘accommodation vs. universal design’ dichotomy – or retrofitting after the fact versus proactive inclusive design ahead of the class. The COVID pandemic has forced, around the world, an overnight online pivot, as well as many other periods of pedagogical innovation and disruption over a two-year duration. The overall outcomes of this period of transformation in teaching and learning has been mixed with scholars and practitioners showcasing both new opportunities and continuing hurdles for students with disabilities.
The most unexpected outcome, however, of the emergence of the tertiary sector from the pandemic is the realization that issues of accessibility and inclusion which have been energized by the pivot are now discussed widely by the student body and are no longer restricted to issues of disability and impairment. This presentation will draw from qualitative data collected within the student body on a campus in Western Canada about the way their expectations about accessibility, inclusion and student-centeredness have evolved during and post-COVID in their experiences of their progression through their degree. It explores the emerging advocacy that surrounds these topics.
The discussion and outcomes section of the presentation will lead participants on a reflection about the ways the pandemic experience and the online pivot have radically transformed: (i) learner expectation with regards to inclusion and accessibility, (ii) blurred the delineations between students with disabilities and the rest of the student body, and (iii) created the need for a new conceptualization of inclusion in the tertiary sector in the post-pandemic landscape. One of the assertions developed in the presentation is that this redefinition of inclusion for the post-pandemic tertiary sector presumes a reflection on being together in/with place in the way teaching and learning redefines presence, connection, and engagement for fuller accessibility.

Factoring Student Backgrounds into Service-LearningGreg Freed
This document discusses factoring student backgrounds into service-learning course design. It recommends considering students' attitudes, interests, beliefs, and backgrounds when designing service-learning courses. It provides an overview of the University Achievement Program (UAP) at Suffolk University, which supports conditionally admitted students. The UAP collects data on students and designs its curriculum and service experiences intentionally based on this information. Assessing the program found that taking student perspectives into account minimized stress, changed attitudes positively, and led to embedding more structured support in coursework.
The ReFlexus program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison aims to refocus the college experience around flexibility, self-discovery, and career application. It proposes restructuring the current major system into spheres of interest to allow more cross-disciplinary learning. Students would choose a double major and focuses within their interests rather than being restricted to individual departments. This more flexible model is intended to produce well-rounded, self-directed graduates prepared for an evolving world. It also better aligns with the Wisconsin Idea of applying knowledge to benefit society.
The document outlines changes over time to the education program at Red Deer College relating to field experience and observations. It discusses the cancellation of a course with observations in 2003. In 2014, a field experience pilot project was launched with local schools in response to student requests for more practical experience. Evaluation of the pilot was positive, with suggestions to offer observations earlier and provide more interaction time. The college explored ways to address challenges in offering the observation component, including empowering students to arrange their own placements and setting up observation days.
The document outlines changes over time to the education program at Red Deer College relating to field experience and practicum opportunities for students. It discusses the replacement of EDFX 203 with EDUC 250 in 2003 and changes made to the third year practicum. Student feedback in 2014 called for more practical and experiential learning. This led to the creation of a field experience pilot project in 2014-2015 with local school divisions, including redesigned courses with additional in-class and independent observation hours. Evaluation found students and teachers appreciated the real-world experience and suggested expanding the program.

Influences on empowerment of talented secondary science students dortmund2Junior College Utrecht
The JCU program provides an enriched learning environment for talented pre-university science students through collaboration between Utrecht University and 28 secondary schools. The program includes a student program, teacher professional development program, and school development program. Research found that the JCU environment empowered students by making them feel competent, that their work had meaning, and that they could have impact. Characteristics like an excellent atmosphere, enrichment, and accelerated pacing contributed most to empowerment. Students appreciated the challenges but suggested more freedom and choice. The program was adapted to better balance acceleration and enrichment based on these findings.
This document discusses strategies for improving student retention through more flexible curriculum and teaching approaches. It notes that retention is impacted by student experiences and support programs as well as teaching quality. Effective teaching involves making content relevant, promoting active learning, building on prior knowledge, and providing explicit goals and feedback.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

1. Short and fat or long and thin?
The educational impact of the shape of the timetable
Moira Sarsfield
Imperial College London
🙋🏽♀️ Interact via YouTube (login required) @msars m.sarsfield@imperial.ac.uk
✍
2. Thinking about the timetable
• Big picture
• Considering formal education
• Terms / semesters
• Why do schools go back earlier in Scotland
than England?
• The timetable is based on various issues:
• Agricultural
• Practical
• Pedagogical?
TUBS, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons
3. The shape of the termly timetable
Long thin modules Short fat modules
Three modules per term
• same content
• same credit value
• same face-to-face hours and personal study hours
• different shape
4. Your experience as a student
• Think about current formal learning you are
undertaking or formal learning you have
completed in the past …
• How was the termly timetable arranged?
Long thin modules
• How many modules at once?
Short fat modules
• How many weeks per module?
Some other approach
• What was this?
5. History timetable changes – practicality
• System of semesters originated when education was formalised
• 1800s – summer sessions introduced for catch-up/stretch
• 1960s – intersessions introduced
• 1990s – alternative length sessions added to improve student choice
• Most studies show that blocked delivery results in equivalent or
better attainment vs traditional approach
Key reviews: Scott and Conrad (1992), Davies (2006), Tatum (2010), Baun (2015)
• Large-scale studies in institutions delivering equivalent modules over
different durations showed better results for shorter courses
For example, Austin and Gustafson (2006), Logan and Geltner (2000)
6. History of timetable changes – pedagogy 1
• From 1970s – some small liberal arts
colleges introduced a block plan – e.g.
Colorado College, Cornell College,
Tusculum College.
“Faculty believed that the compressed format of classes
would provide students with deep learning, conceptual
understanding and meaning-making” (Freeman,
Fedesco & Cavin, 2020)
• Extensive ongoing review with positive
results and high satisfaction from staff
and students in general
https://www.coloradocollege.edu/basics/blockplan/
7. History of timetable changes – pedagogy 2
• 2020s –
institution-wide
change to blocked
delivery at Victoria
University in
Australia
Image from (Loton et al., 2020)
8. History of timetable changes – pedagogy 2
• 2020s – aim of change at Victoria University is to support students
from diverse backgrounds
“the focus is to reduce the complexity of study and increase opportunities for success.”
(Samarawickrema & Cleary, 2021)
• Analysis of block v traditional teaching after 1 year showed:
• A significant increase in marks
• Largest impact on “younger, non-English-speaking background, less prior
education, lower academic performance and socio-economic status students”
• A small increase in satisfaction with teaching
• A decrease in course satisfaction – mitigated when assessments had been
changed for the blocked module
• Performance (n=86,545), satisfaction (n=15,989) (Loton et al., 2020)
9. Traditional or blocked?
• Mostly either approach will work – providing the pedagogic approach
aligns with delivery mode
• Different strengths and weaknesses, e.g. students are positive about social
aspects of learning and motivation in block mode (Lee and Horsfall, 2010)
• Different requirements for teaching, learning and assessment (Walsh, Sanders
and Gadgil, 2019; Dixon and O’Gorman, 2020)
• For a new delivery mode, consider benefits and drawbacks
• Think about module design in terms of teaching approach, admin processes,
student guidance, assessment…

Editor's Notes
Note – Short thin modules also exist with fewer face-to-face hours and more personal study hours. Especially used in adult learning.
