Information Skills: 6. Disability Support (Natural Sciences, Bangor University)
This short presentation gives an overview of library disability support and contacts for Bangor staff and students, with a focus on the Deiniol science library.
Role of computers in Engineering Education
The document discusses the role of computers in engineering education. It notes that computers are now integral to daily life and education. For educators, computers can free up time, enable communication, and improve lessons. For students, regular computer use improves performance, and computers allow research and project development. However, overreliance on computers risks lack of imagination, isolation, and poor communication skills. While computers are useful educational tools, hands-on experimentation and human interaction are still needed to develop critical thinking skills. The recommendations are to use computers for their best purposes but still provide opportunities for higher-level thinking and face-to-face interaction.
Edtech
Technology provides several important benefits to education. It can help equalize educational resources between wealthy and low-income districts. It also prepares students for a world that increasingly relies on technology in professional careers. Technology allows learning to extend beyond the classroom through mobile devices and collaboration between students. It also provides motivation through tracking student progress and social elements that make learning competitive and engaging. Schools can save costs by replacing physical materials with technology and providing remote access to resources. Technology also enables up-to-date curriculum and real-time student assessments to improve learning outcomes. It connects students globally to share perspectives from around the world. Finally, technology lightens students' physical loads and supports ergonomic well-being.
Making it Work...Taking the Frustration Out of Course Reserves
The document discusses the benefits of using an electronic course reserves management system over a traditional paper-based system. The key benefits mentioned include improved tracking and communication for faculty requests, the ability to clone classes and avoid refilling out forms each semester, and easier student access through a single online menu. The system also allows for better statistics collection and communication between library departments to improve services.
Concerns of digital media
The document discusses several challenges schools face in implementing technology: resistance to change from teachers, lack of IT support as technology use increases, the need to continuously upgrade technology as it changes, lack of quality digital content, technology not replacing human interaction, high costs, unequal student access to technology at home, content not being optimized for mobile devices, security issues, and lack of training for teachers on digital tools. It concludes that while digital media has improved access to information for students, teachers must still guide learning and not let technology replace their role in education.
Facilities plan
The document discusses plans to renovate the media center at Effingham County High School. It provides details on the current media center policies, facilities, and issues. Surveys of students and teachers identified desired changes like more comfortable furniture, accessible resources for all students, and improved technology. The proposed renovations include rearranging the space, adding new furnishings and equipment, and making the media center a more accessible and student-friendly learning environment.

Week 8.pptx
This document discusses safety and ethics issues related to physical education (PE). It examines legal, social and ethical issues teachers should consider regarding social media use and online safety issues for students, such as cyberbullying. Teachers are asked to reflect on their own social media use and consider how to address potential negative outcomes of technology use for students. The document provides questions for teachers to discuss related to their PE experience in the next class.
Tech Changing Landscape(Informs Tec2008)
This document discusses how instructional technology has changed teaching and learning in colleges and universities. It notes that today's students are accustomed to using technology and expect it to be incorporated into their education. While technology can enhance learning when used effectively, simply adding technology does not guarantee improved outcomes. The document advocates applying principles of good teaching practice and using technology to support student-faculty interaction, collaboration, and active learning.
Promising practices in online education content delivery
The document summarizes findings from a 2009 U.S. Department of Education meta-analysis of 51 online learning studies. The key findings were:
1) Students in online conditions performed better on average than those receiving face-to-face instruction.
2) Studies where online students spent more time on task found greater benefits for online learning.
3) Effect sizes were larger for studies varying curriculum/instruction between online and face-to-face conditions beyond just the medium of instruction.
Contemporary issue power point
This document discusses the pros and cons of online education versus traditional in-person classes. It notes that online classes can be effective for self-disciplined and motivated students but may not be suitable for more dependent learners. While online classes provide convenience and lower costs, they offer limited face-to-face interaction and instructor time. The conclusion is that students must evaluate their own needs and preferences to determine whether online or in-person classes would be more beneficial in their individual situation.
e-learning foundation keynote (June 2013): Distinctive Pedagogies of iPads
Dr. Kevin Burden outlines how the use of mobile technologies (tablets and phones) can be enhanced by the use of carefully designed and researched mobile pedagogies
Today’s Distractions Impeding Your Child's Academic Success
Technology can be beneficial when used for educational purposes in the classroom, but personal use of devices during class or studying can negatively impact academic focus. A study found that students who switched tasks frequently or accessed social media like Facebook while studying had lower GPAs, while those who used effective study strategies were more likely to stay on task. Frequent distractions from technology may impede students' academic success.
Defining the Libraries' Role in Research: A Needs Assessment Case Study
This document summarizes the results of a needs assessment survey conducted at UNC Greensboro to understand faculty research data management needs. Key findings include: the most common data formats are text, PDFs, and spreadsheets; most faculty back up data themselves but do not follow best practices; the top priorities for support are storage/backup, meeting sharing requirements, and assistance with data management plans. Barriers to sharing include large data sizes and lack of knowledge about requirements and options. The survey informed new research data services from the libraries and other campus units, including data storage, curation, and consultation on data management plans and sharing requirements.
"Does education need to be transformed by technology?" - from Stephen Fahey, ...
Education has already been transformed by technology such as interactive whiteboards, broadband internet access, laptops, and video streaming. However, technology is just one small part of the complex system of education. Upcoming trends that may further transform education include increased use of mobile devices, social media platforms, and data-driven decision making to improve learning outcomes. This document discusses whether and how education needs to be or has already been transformed by emerging technologies.
Web based presentation edu 352
Students in 4th and 5th grade will receive new laptops to use for classroom instruction tied to state standards. As part of the 24/7 program, students can take the laptops home after demonstrating responsibility to complete homework, research, and projects. Parents are responsible for ensuring students properly care for the laptops at home in safe locations away from food, liquids, or younger siblings. Students must charge their laptops each night and bring them fully charged to class daily as the laptops are a big responsibility requiring dependability. Research shows technology in the classroom increases student achievement through higher attendance, engagement, and behavior to avoid restrictions from inappropriate use of the laptops.
A Fresh(Ers’) Perspective
Students starting university often rely too heavily on familiar sources like Google for research and lack skills in finding scholarly sources from libraries and databases. Without proper guidance, students may complete their studies still overly dependent on basic search tools and unable to evaluate information sources critically. Libraries and librarians can help students go beyond simple searches by teaching them to use discovery tools and subject-specific databases, as well as providing research consultations and tutorials, to develop vital lifelong skills in finding and assessing information from multiple sources.

The document summarizes an assessment of the Digital Media Commons (DMC) at the University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG) libraries. The DMC was established in 2012 to provide multimedia assistance to students across campus. Various assessment methods were used from February to May 2013, including surveys, desk statistics, a focus group, usage studies, and polls. The results showed the DMC was well-used by undergraduate students for relaxing study and multimedia projects like presentations. However, assessments could be improved by continuing longer term and involving more staff and students. Recommendations included assessing the DMC's impact on student learning.
Importance of technology in education
The document discusses the benefits of using technology in education. It argues that technology can help equalize educational resources between low-income and wealthy school districts. It also states that technology prepares students for their professional futures and allows the classroom to extend beyond physical walls. The document outlines several other benefits, including how technology can motivate students through feedback, incorporate social elements, save schools money by replacing infrastructure, allow for up-to-date lessons, enable real-time assessments, connect students globally, and increase student convenience by reducing backpack weight.
Making Positive Change Handbook
This document provides an introduction and activities for a training handbook on making positive change using coaching, positive psychology, and inspirational communication in education.

The goal is to equip staff working with students with knowledge and skills to help young people feel good, make positive choices, develop healthy relationships, and shape their lives.
Faulds2011
The document discusses changes to nursing and midwifery education in the UK driven by new standards from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Key points:
- The NMC now requires a degree-level qualification for nursing registration. Programs emphasize competencies like communication, leadership, and research.
- Curriculums focus on skills like compassion, organization, and infection control. They also stress research processes, problems, and content.
- Example program structures for 3-year nursing and 4-year dual-field nursing are outlined. Challenges include embedding technology, grading practice experiences, and adapting to new ways of thinking.
Macintyre2011
The document summarizes the PIRUS 2 project which aims to develop a global standard for measuring online usage of individual journal articles. It discusses how PIRUS 2 builds on PIRUS 1 by developing COUNTER-compliant usage reports at the article level. The project has gathered usage statistics from several publishers and repositories and loaded them into a prototype central clearing house demonstrator. Next steps include expanding participation and further developing the user interface and SUSHI server to re-expose article-level usage statistics.

This document describes an interprofessional learning collaboration between universities and the NHS in the UK. It aims to introduce interprofessional education into undergraduate health and social care programs to improve team-based care. Students from 11 professions complete 3 interprofessional learning units that include classroom and practice-based components. They learn in small interprofessional groups, conducting projects on real issues. Evaluation found the experience improved students' understanding of teamwork, roles, and interprofessional practice. Many student projects were subsequently implemented in practice settings. The collaboration aims to develop healthcare graduates prepared to work collaboratively in team-based care models.
Mailer2006
The SMARTAL project surveyed 444 nursing students at St Martin's College about their access to learning resources while on clinical placements. Most students were placed in local hospitals. The survey found that 96% felt access to resources was important, but many faced difficulties using placement and local libraries due to limited access, study space, or internet. It recommended improving information provided to students and clinical staff, expanding resource sharing between libraries, and investigating longer library hours to better support students' learning needs while on placement.

Helping medical students access recommended resources - the role of Aspire re...University Health and Medical Librarians Group
The document discusses the role of Aspire reading list software at Lancaster University medical school. It helps provide medical students access to a wide range of recommended resources for their problem-based learning sessions. Tutors prepare lists of suitable resources that the subject librarian compiles into Aspire reading lists within the university's learning management system. This makes the recommended electronic and print materials easily accessible to students. Analysis found the Aspire lists are well used by students and reduce complaints about inaccessible resources. The system helps students transition to finding literature independently and makes electronic resources the norm from the start of their academic career.Evp making the right approach
As consumers we have different priorities when making purchasing decisions. For example, when buying a new car we will all consider different elements important (safety, price, large boot, etc.) So when people "buy" a new job from a company their purchasing decisions are equally as unique and personal e.g. the company brand, the salary, the location, culture, etc. Some are more focused on the facilities and technology available.
Essentially, the Employment Value Proposition (EVP) is the compelling reason to join a company. EVP encompasses both Employer and Employee Value Proposition. The key thing is, that the EVP should be ongoing and not just something to be considered at the stage of attraction.

The Royal College of Nursing developed information literacy competencies to support their 400,000 members across the UK. They began by reviewing existing frameworks and consulting internally and externally, including nurses. The competencies were tested using case studies and revised based on feedback. After external review, the competencies were accredited and published from 2007-2010. The RCN plans to use the competencies to guide representatives' roles, develop training for activists, and reinforce evidence-based practice. They encourage nurses to apply the competencies in their own practice.

JISC Collections is now running a one-year pilot that invites publishers to extend university subscriptions to also allow NHS access, in order to assess usage levels.
Patterson2010
1) The document discusses how scientific journals can be re-engineered for the online environment. Key functions of journals include registration, certification, awareness, and archiving.
2) It explores how awareness can be improved through open access and increased discoverability. It also examines shifting certification to add more value after publication through article-level metrics.
3) Registration can be improved by facilitating more rapid sharing of information through platforms like PLoS Currents, which enables publication within 24 hours through light, post-publication peer review.
Digital Literacies: challenges for staff and students
The document discusses the concept of digital literacy and some of the challenges it presents for both staff and students. It provides various definitions of digital literacy, explores whether it is a useful term, and examines issues around whose online identity is owned, boundaries between work and personal life online, and how academic disciplines can develop digital literacy. It also touches on policies around digital literacy and questions of best practices for students, staff, and libraries regarding the "visual web" represented by tools like Twitter and Facebook.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
