Road to the Right Major: Strategies for Advising Exploratory Students
Working with exploratory/undecided students can be a challenging and overwhelming task for many academic advisors. Given a significant proportion of the entering student body at most colleges and universities is composed of undecided/exploratory students and that continuing students have the potential to fall into the exploratory/undecided category at any point in time, it is essential for academic advisors to have a well-developed set of strategies that can be used to appropriately guide these students down the road to academic success and ultimately graduation.
This presentation is will combine theory and practice using an easy to follow navigation theme. We will discuss the following types of exploratory/undecided students and strategies advisors can use when working with these various subpopulations:
“U-Turn” Students – These students have already declared a major, but then start to question their decision and engage in exploratory behavior (e.g. taking non-major courses) only to later return to their initial major.
“Stuck in the Roundabout” Students – These students tend to be high-achieving and have real interest in multiple majors. They also have the aptitude to be successful in multiple majors making it even more difficult to decide on one program in specific.
“No Direction” Students – These students have no idea what direction they want to head in or have yet to find a major that holds their interest.
“Sharp Right Turn” Students – These students have been working toward declaring a specific major or have already declared a major, but quickly decide they want to head in a different direction (e.g. a student that is interested in Biology and decides to switch to Political Science).
“Head-On Collision” Students – These students have already “hit the wall” and cannot go any further in their current major. Many of these students are struggling academically and may be on or are nearing an academic warning or probation status.
As a result of this presentation, participants will be able to:
* Clearly identify the various subpopulations of exploratory/undecided students
* Assess the unique needs of different types of exploratory/undecided students
* Develop appropriate strategies to guide and retain exploratory/undecided students
* Better understand the decision making processes that guide exploratory/undecided students when attempting to select or remain in a major
Overview of the Graduate School Application ProcessDr. Molly Morin
Several components are involved in the graduate school application process. This presentation provides an overview of these many components including: reasons for going to graduate school, finding fit, application materials, personal statement advice, requesting a letter of recommendation, and more!
This presentation should help you know more about the undergraduate application package for US universities and the essential components of an application.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
