Using Tables in Technical Writing
How to incorporate tables into technical writing; when and how to use them and how to write about them.
18. Graphs
This document discusses different types of graphs and their uses and advantages/disadvantages. It identifies four main types of graphs: line graphs, bar graphs, pie/circle graphs, and picture graphs. Line graphs show relationships between changing variables over time. Bar graphs compare data categories. Pie/circle graphs show proportions of a whole. Picture graphs represent numerical data pictorially. Each graph type has advantages for visualizing data trends or comparisons, though they also have limitations like inability to show exact values or reveal patterns. The goal is for students to understand how to determine appropriate graphs for different data sets and relationships.
Directions for Illustrator chart---Transition
1. The document discusses how a pie chart was initially created in Adobe Illustrator rather than Excel or PowerPoint because Illustrator allows for cleaner lines and more customization of colors.
2. It provides step-by-step instructions for creating a pie chart in Illustrator using data copied from an Excel file, including selecting a graph tool, defining the graph size, pasting the data into the graph data window, and applying the data to generate the chart.
3. Once the pie chart is created in Illustrator, it can be saved in image formats like JPEG or PNG and inserted into PowerPoint.
5 Most Common User Experience Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Design is continuously evolving. A lot of trends have come and gone. Following latest trends will not hurt the UX, but in the process of creating something trendy and appealing, the usability of the process cannot be sacrificed. User experience should be utmost important while designing a product and a balance must be maintained between the nicer looking and the better working design.

DEFILEMENT OF CHILDREN IN CHONGWE AND LUSAKA: A STUDY OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED ...
This dissertation examines the problems involved in reporting and prosecuting child defilement cases in Zambia. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data on defilement cases from police records, reports, interviews and focus groups. The findings revealed that defilement has negative psychological, health and educational impacts on victims. Factors preventing reporting included the relationship between victims and perpetrators, fear, shame and lack of support. The police face challenges like inadequate resources and forensic equipment in handling cases. Not all reported cases are prosecuted due to insufficient evidence, lack of corroboration and fast-track courts. The study recommends improving awareness, police infrastructure, training for doctors, and establishing more fast-track courts to encourage

SAMSUNG SDI In Japan
The 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan led to the shutdown of nuclear power plants, causing blackouts and fear of electricity shortages. As Japan sought non-nuclear energy sources, renewable energy like solar and wind increased but could not provide stable power alone. To solve this, Samsung SDI partnered with Nichicon in 2011 to create home energy storage systems (ESS). Using Samsung SDI batteries and Nichicon power control systems, ESS provided steady power, maximized solar use, saved costs and was eco-friendly, dominating the Japanese market. Now Samsung SDI aims to be a global ESS provider, starting in Japan.
SIMD 2016 - Alistair McAlpine
This document discusses the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), which is used to identify relatively deprived areas in Scotland. The SIMD ranks small areas from most to least deprived based on indicators like income, employment, health, education, crime, and housing. It is a relative measure that compares deprivation between areas but does not measure absolute deprivation levels or change over time. While SIMD helps identify issues in deprived areas, not all individuals in those areas are deprived and some deprived people live outside of deprived areas.

Like the Molave
Rizal is urged not to rest in peace yet as there are still many struggles ahead for the Philippines - thousands of waters to cross and mountains to climb, and crosses still to bear. The people have become weak and dependent, needing the young blood and spirit of martyrs like Rizal to inspire them to continue fighting for freedom. Only when the people embrace the resilient spirit of heroes like Rizal will they become strong like the molave tree, standing proudly on the hillside without fear.

Research Report Assignment SheetPowerPoint with text equivalent.docx
Research Report Assignment Sheet
PowerPoint with text equivalent of 7 pages, 20%
(“messy draft” text to be turned turned in by all students)
Instructor:_______
Goal: Write an informational research report (not a persuasive one—it will not contain “recommendations”) from at least 7 substantial sources using PowerPoint to create a multimodal version (version that employs more than text to communicate its ideas e.g. images, graphs, font colors, etc.).
Topic: Chose any topic related to business about which you are interested in knowing more. [Note: do NOT use any topic you have used in another class project without my permission! For this assignment, you need to learn how to find information on topics, not reproduce a case study or other paper.]
Process:
1. Once you have a topic, contemplate its potential business implications then create a scenario that includes an audience (a hypothetical boss) who would be interested in your topic and imagine a purpose (make up who and why they would ask you to write an informational report— what is the business problem or opportunity that your boss needs information on in order to respond. This information will handed in with your assignment via BB and will appear on your title slide)
2. Draft the reportin Word with this audience in mind (consider questions related to purpose and audience, such as how much background your boss might need, what kind of language and tone you should use, how formal if your business discourse, whether you should define certain terms for this boss, etc.) However, don’t spend a lot of time on wording or formatting at this stage—e.g. don’t worry about sentence structure, word choices, formatting, etc and take advantage of bullets, outlines, notes, copy/pasting from other documents etc. (with the latter, make sure you include a link to give credit where credit is due and so that you don’t lose track of the source when you need to cite it in the final report). You will submit this draft to BB with your multimodal version, however, the messy draft will not be graded. Because you are grappling with new the challenges posed by new modalities, you are at risk for cognitive overload, where the basics suffer as you reach beyond your usual experiences. Given this, it is important to craft the main messages and plan the organization before getting into the process of employing other modalities. Your messy draft will serve as evidence that you thought carefully about the content of the report before you composed the multimodal version. You MUST write a draft before you compose the multimodal version.

Adventures in Technology and Learning
This document discusses Lindsey Freer's work in educational technology and learning over several years. It outlines core values of openness, collaboration, and responsiveness. It then summarizes three experiments Freer conducted at various universities focusing on collaborative learning. The document concludes by outlining Freer's work facilitating online discussions and maintaining discussion quality through building cognitive presence and asking generative questions.
Re-Designing A Large General Education Course
Lindsey Freer proposes redesigning Psych 1001 taught at the University of Oregon. The redesign is motivated by common themes from student feedback, including a desire for more active and collaborative learning. Freer suggests creating a next generation digital learning environment (NGDLE) that incorporates interoperability, analytics, personalization, collaboration and accessibility. Six possible starting points for the redesign are identified: targeted lecture capture, experiential case studies, a mobile app, cross-section digital student cohorts, common competency assessments, and hyflex course delivery. The proposal is to pilot test cross-section digital student cohorts using Slack and CATME in Fall 2016.
Instructional Technology is For Everyone
The document discusses Lindsey M. Freer's work using instructional technology at the University of Oregon from 2009-2015. It describes several projects including a multi-year thesis colloquium collaboration, an experiential and digital first-year learning program called "Night at the Museum", creating digital history murals to foster online collaboration for commuter students, developing an online course to promote engaged learning across campus, and gamifying systems analysis to improve university technology culture and discussions. The document provides contact information for Lindsey M. Freer and acknowledges past colleagues and mentors.
Active Learning in Online Classrooms

HeLa Pedagogy Exercise, Thursday Class (Fall 2013)
This document contains teaching ideas and discussion topics for a class about the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks". It presents five discussion topics: 1) editorial intervention in interpreting someone's life, 2) Rebecca Skloot as a narrator, 3) the role of spirituality, 4) the relationship between Deborah and Rebecca, and 5) the role of health care in American identity. For each topic, it poses discussion questions and suggests related pedagogical activities for students.
Sample Exam Questions (Spring 2013)
This document contains 7 potential exam questions for a literature course covering American culture from 1865-2000. The questions address several themes:
1. How disenfranchised groups in America negotiate assimilating into mainstream culture by letting some cultural aspects go while maintaining others, as demonstrated in literature.
2. The role of geography and the environment in shaping American identity and regional cultures, and how literature represents how changes to the American landscape have impacted national identity.
3. How the meaning of "the American Dream" has changed over the studied time period and how students can speculate on what it may be in the future based on course readings.
4. Why migration within the US is a prominent theme in literature
HeLa Discussion Questions (Spring 2013)
This document contains discussion questions about the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" for a literature class. There are 7 questions that prompt students to analyze themes in the book like individualism, the inclusion of the author as a character, how narratives are imposed on real people's lives, the role of spirituality, poetry as self-expression, relationships between characters, and the future role of healthcare in American identity. The questions compare concepts in the book to other works studied over the semester.
HeLa Pedagogy Exercise (Spring 2013)
The document discusses a pedagogy exercise for a class on the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. Students are asked to trade discussion questions with another group and brainstorm how they would answer the questions and teach the answers to their peers. They are then to write an outline for a learning activity that would help teach the answers, considering how the classroom would be organized, what students and teachers would be doing, if any tools or multimedia would be used, if new skills need to be learned, and how long it would take. The activity is also to explain what the book teaches about American identity.
Vietnam Conversations (Spring 2013)
This document provides instructions for a small group activity where students will discuss America's war in Vietnam. The activity involves three steps: 1) Students write discussion questions about the film "Sir! No, Sir!" 2) Questions are collected and traded between groups to select one to discuss 3) Groups imagine and write a dialogue between characters from the readings and film to debate the chosen discussion question.
Gatsby Part 1, Q & A (Spring 2013)
The document contains questions from students about The Great Gatsby and responses from other students. One response discusses the green light as a symbol of Gatsby's ambitions exceeding just Daisy. Another analyzes Nick's claim of being honest and how dishonesty was reflected in 1920s society. A third response says the lifestyles in the novel only partially represent the time period and mainly depict the wealthy elite. A fourth discusses common symbols in the novel like the glasses, green light, and valley of ashes. A fifth analyzes the significance of the billboard eyes as a forgotten watchful presence. The last considers whether Nick loved Daisy, Jordan, or Gatsby.
Group Questions on The Great Gatsby (Spring 2013)
The document provides discussion questions and activities about F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby focusing on several key themes:
- Whether Gatsby represents the American Dream and how geography shapes social class.
- Comparing the city and East Egg environments and two relationships from the novel and another text.
- Analyzing gossip in the novel and if reality matches the hype.
- Exploring assumptions about women drivers and why they are portrayed as unskillful, as well as perceptions of women's behavior when drinking and motherhood as depicted through the character of Daisy.
What is the Beast? What is the Jungle? (Spring 2013)
The beast represents John Marcher's secret - likely his repressed homosexuality. The jungle represents the restrictive society he lives in or the tangled confusion within his own mind caused by hiding his secret. Unable to accept himself, Marcher remains lost in the jungle of his own making, isolated from true human connection by the beast he refuses to confront.
Harlem Renaissance (Revised Spring 2013)
Prior to 1920, Harlem saw waves of African American migration as many fled the post-Civil War South. By 1920, over 150,000 black people lived in New York City, with Harlem becoming the center of black life and culture. Segregation and discrimination were still rampant, and tensions arose between recent southern migrants and Caribbean immigrants who had been in Harlem longer. The 1920s saw the flourishing of black arts and intellectual life in Harlem as residents celebrated their heritage and agitated for social change and equality.
Reconstruction: Key Facts (Revised Spring 2013)
The document summarizes 6 key facts about the Reconstruction era after the American Civil War. It discusses that Southern states reentered the Union on a case-by-case basis. President Andrew Johnson was impeached for obstructing civil rights legislation. Conservative resurgence in the South in the 1870s was aided by declining agricultural profits and national interest after 1868 elections. The 1870s also saw increasingly conservative politics and growing racial intimidation. Restrictive new Southern state governments in the 1870s-1880s curtailed social services and rights for African Americans. By 1896, segregation was already institutionally established in American law and culture when the Supreme Court ruled on Plessy v. Ferguson.
Alexie Equations Exercise (Fall 2012)
The document contains equations written by students analyzing stories from Sherman Alexie's book "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven". The equations explore themes such as anger, imagination, frustration with the past, nostalgia, spirituality, tradition, hallucinations, rituals, culture, the aftermath of colonization, change, memories, the present, unification of the future, and connecting to one's past and culture. The students were asked to write equations that explained the meanings and themes behind Alexie's stories.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
