This document discusses using the Accelerated Reader program to individualize and improve reading instruction at Our Lady of Perpetual Help School. It explains that the school administers Stanford 10 tests annually and scores are near the 90th percentile. The Accelerated Reader program sets individualized reading goals for students based on their STAR Reading Assessment scores and has them take online quizzes when finished with books. The goals are to establish a baseline, set goals for students, and compare Stanford 10 scores from 2010 to 2011 to measure progress with the program's implementation.
Students' Acceptance of Blackboard as an LMS - Dr. Lee Kar Ling - INTI Intern...Blackboard APAC
The main focus of the presentation is to provide empirical information to support the students' acceptance of Blackboard as an LMS (Learning Management System) to help students to learn better. INTI International University has been using Blackboard to promote and strengthen Blended Learning, and has faced extensive resistance from both students and academic staff at its inception. However, the research now shows that students are increasingly adopting Blackboard as an LMS and are picking up the needed skills for more effective Blended Learning. Although there are still challenges ahead for the University, the Positiveness displayed is most encouraging, and we will continue to strive to make Blended Learning via the employ of Blackboard as the LMS a norm.

Student Satisfaction of Learning Management SyetemsEvan Fondren
A project presentation slide deck by Evan Fondren. Fondren discussed the use and implications of learning management systems and students' satisfaction with such systems.
Gave a talk at StartCon about the future of Growth. I touch on viral marketing / referral marketing, fake news and social media, and marketplaces. Finally, the slides go through future technology platforms and how things might evolve there.
Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

13. Key Issues
Based on the analyses made, the following key issues are drawn.
• BNPL Financing is a type of short-term financing that allows consumers to make purchases and pay for them at a future date. It is becoming an increasingly popular payment option;
• BNPL has fully digital operating landscape that enables superior customer experience and business efficiency. Thus, it is expected to capture a significant portion of the market with strong growth prospect;
• Dashen Bank is the only bank that provides BNPL financing so far. However, as a substitute product Cooperative Bank of Ethiopia provide the Michu financing.
• Fin-tech and telecommunication companies that work in partnership with domestic banks are potential competitors to BNPL business that provide and facilitate digitized credit facility;
• The domestic experience revealed that:
o The eligibility for the service requires the customers age should be 18 years and above; have a monthly income, which they can prove from their employer or a business license in the case of business owners;
o The maximum spending limit on Dube Ale is currently set at Birr 700,000 and is determined at branches;
o Payments can only be made using the app, and withdrawals are not allowed;
o Customers charged a subscription, guarantee, and convenience fee; The maximum loan duration is 12 months;
o Interest Ranges from 2% to 2.5% on monthly basis;
o The customer should repay the previous credit first to get another credit and the credit can be paid fully or partially; and
o Charges vary depending on the credit period and if payment is made after the due date there will be a penalty fee.
• The market need assessment shows that there is a demand of BNPL financing and almost all interviewed sampled organizations were voluntary to give their employees information when requested by the bank;
• Majority of the sampled respondents prefer loan repayment through mobile banking and also most of the respondents prefer if the duration of loan repayment period up to a year and shall base on value of the purchased item;
• There are five BNPL financing models that are widely applicable. Partnering with Fin-tech to build BNPL solution and Rent out balance sheet are the best models that CBE can adopt right now. Furthermore, the Bank may entertain integrating installments in to credit cards. Acquiring a BNPL company and Rent a technology can also be adopted in line with the banks business model and when the need arise by the market;
• Currently, two local potential fin-tech companies EAGLELION System Technology (Dube Pay) and Seregela PLC approached and show an interest and signed memorandum of understanding to work with CBE through the two business models;
• The expected benefits of BNPL financing for the CBE are the loan is short term; it address the needs of credit access of retail customers; increase and diversify the credit portfolio; and the bank will have a special product that calls for and held its retail customer fr

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Using Technology
Tools to Individualize
Reading Instruction
Zulma Whiteford
Our Lady of Perpetual Help School
2. Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Ellicott
City, Maryland, is a Catholic Elementary
School of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, and
as such presents a Catholic Christian value-
based curriculum, in accordance with
Baltimore Archdiocesan guidelines.
3. In cooperation with the Archdiocese of
Baltimore, Our Lady of Perpetual Help
School participates in Stanford 10 testing
for our students.
4. The Council for American Private Education
(CAPE) recently released information on
nationally normed achievement tests which
helps schools identify themselves as being
in the top 10 percent of all schools
nationally.
5. Our Lady of Perpetual Help students in
Grades 3-8 took the Stanford 10 Test in
Spring 2010. The following chart shows
OLPH scaled scores and percentiles in
comparison to those needed to achieve the
90th percentile. Nearly all scores meet or
exceed this very high level.
7. How can I use technology tools to continue
to improve reading scores for students in
Grades 3 to 8?
8. Accelerated Reader
The implementation of the Accelerated
Reader program is a research based
computer tool that promotes reading
success by analyzing student’s performance
and determining an individualized student
goal.
9. How does it work?
Student chooses to read a book from the
extensive AR database (over 140,000 titles)
• Once finished, students come into the
computer lab to take their on-line test.
• The program compiles the results in a
variety of reports for the teacher to review
and develop an instructional plan for each
student.
10. The first step is to establish a baseline for
the student population prior to the
introduction of Accelerated Reader. The
baseline will be established by using the
2010 Lexile scores and the Grade
equivalency and ZPD results from the Star
Reading Assessment tool. This will provide a
basis of comparison for the end of the year.
11. The second step is to set individualized
student goals using the test results and the
conversion chart provided by Renaissance
Learning at www.renlearn.com
12. The third step is to compare the OLPH
Student’s progress between the 2010
and the 2011 Stanford 10 results and
the results of the Star Reading
Assessment test administered at the
end of the school year.
13. Promotes the invaluable practice of reading
Meets the needs of individual students
Concept is research based
Develop life-long readers
Empower children with choice!
14. As an administrator…
One must support the school-wide AR initiative.
Ensure that everyone is onboard in order to promote
student success.
Monitor that the curriculum supports the program.
Collaborate with faculty to monitor computer test
results, analyze data and allocate resources to improve
student performance.
Educate the parent community to create a partnership
between school and home.
