Thank you so much for allowing Sarah and I to attend OLC this month. It was both professionally rewarding and informational. Though many times I go to conferences hoping to come back with new gadgets or tools to implement, the value in this conference was definitely the collaboration with others. During my first break out session, I met Dr. Omar Lopez. He is from the University of Texas and is in the midst of building a competency based program at Texas State University. He was very interested in my student experience at Western Governors University, and is anxious to hear more as I continue on. We have been in contact since my return and I intend to keep the lines of communication open. There is likely much to be learned from him. Our dinner Wednesday night with the folks at EdMap was wonderful. We are anxious to meet with Andrew next week for a virtual demo. I talked with Jeremy as well as Maureen about piloting EdMap with a couple of our Gen Ed courses to be developed. We met Dr. Ron Hannaford and Dr. James Tedford from Biola University. God was so good to seat us across …show more content…
After attending a workshop on data analytics I am eager to explore how data that is already tracked in Canvas may help guide us in the next template update. The OER workshops were helpful as well; our initiabtive to lean in on OERs is definitely timely. There are many resources out there. I’ve compiled a list of resources that I’d like you to review. If you think there is value in it, I’d like to clean it up, dress it up, and provide it with our other course building documents I attended a fantastic workshop on accessibility presented by the University of South Florida. It was well organized, went straight to the heart of accessibility issues in online courses, and provided many tools and examples they use to maintain compliance. Designing courses for accessibility is going to happen at ONUGlobal. It’s not a choice, it needs to happen, and it
The Oxford Learning Center was founded by Dr. Nick Whitehead, Now OLC is the second largest franchised – based supplemental education provider in Canada Which purpose of incorporating the most up to date research into the formation of new teaching methods. Dr. Whitehead was intrigued with Nobel Education Dynamics, but Nobel had only offer to purchase OLC for 5 times EBITDA but Whitehead did not find the offer of a price based on multiple earnings during the year 1997. However, in order to evaluate that whether this time the sale of OLC shares to Childtime would be beneficial for OLC or not, we need to evaluate the current performance of the OLC operations. We have number of ratios that we can use in order to evaluate the current and past performance
Over the last semester, I got to shadow at Prowers Medical Center (PMC) Rehabilitation Center. I shadowed the occupational therapist Jeannie Cooper. As I shadowed, I was able to observer procedures and learn what an occupational therapist does. The first thing I ever learned that there was three kinds of patients that Jeannie saw: out patient, in patient, and home health.
1. Standards Driven Data: Online tools and resources will be used to analyze standards used in a course. How often are they being used and are they being used appropriately? Data then will determine what needs changed and adapted to meet those requirements. 2.
I had an opportunity to interview this wonderful individual name, Stephanie M. Alejandro. She is from Puerto Ricco, she moved here about a year and 4 months ago. In Puerto Ricco, she studied Mass Communication, which led her to begin her career in the film industry. Ms. Alejandro is currently a full-time professional staff member at the University of South Florida, the manager of the Center for Student Involvement office located on the second floor of the Marshall Student Center building. I chose to interview her because I have heard a lot about what they do and it was fascinated.
Interviewing the homework loving and authobiographical reader was tiring, furstrating and stressful but I learned many things about Dougless Lee during this short amount of time. Although the reponses he gave was not what I expected but it was a valuable expericen. I 'm sure that this experience would help me in the future when interviewing
Competency 5 This year I had a student who was very intelligent but was having reading and writing difficulties. We were having difficulty getting the appropriate placement for him due to how intelligent he is. During a meeting on May 23, 2017 and in emails prior to this conference, I pushed to get him qualified for his one on one continual assistance from a teacher during his writing class time. He really needs the direct help to be able to complete assignments.
1. When have I learned? In what circumstances? Under what conditions? I have learned during the last two weeks, from working on finishing up our power point presentation.
What insights have I gained about research from taking this course? The insights I have achieved, there are different methods in constructing a research study I understand more in doing a research exploration, my mentor kept asking me if I had completed the research required for projects for my classroom. I did not understand what was a real research study or someone writing a story from their experiences. I now understand how to look for research studies conducted by researchers.
The person I interviewed is the campus Diversity Recruiter Candace Villanueva. She loves working in higher education. I enjoy helping students reach their academics and life goals. Her passion is working with gifted students. She is capable of sharing her achieve strength with these students by pushing them further.

For SIM lab, I was the primary RN. I received bedside SBAR report about my patient. My patient was admitted with “indigestion” and back pain. When I was doing my assessment, my patient denied any pain, but suddenly, she started complaining of back pain 6/10. The tech took her V/S while the charge nurse and I were figuring out what interventions or orders to use for my patient’s back pain.
I am very grateful for all of my past opportunities and experiences I had within the fields of engineering and technology. If I am fortunate enough to get accepted into this program, I would leverage these experiences and my passion to strengthen my engineering skill-set and deepen my understanding of STEM. Every day my engineering and technology interests continue to grow, whether it’s from a TV commercial from General Electric or a lesson from my Computer Aided Design (CAD) class. It is for these reasons that I believe I would be a great participant for the Engineering and Technology Governor’s
Interpersonal Interview: Matthew Ruby In Human Communications our Professor told us to go around and interact with someone within the room. Matthew was someone I have never really interacted with and being someone that was close by. I got to hear the life and opinions he had. We talked about the views of things around us today and our opinions about certain things.
College is often regarded as a time of exploration, a time to discover interests and passions that ignite a desire to seek sagacity in a field that will alleviate the burdens of others and fulfill one’s self wholeheartedly. It is essential to me that my college career allows me to strive for educational excellence and moral enrichment simultaneously. Through the Pre-Physical Therapy track it will be my focus to obtain an education to help others as I have been helped in the past. Restoring movement and functionality to someone’s life is deeply connected to SPU’s vision, for the work that physical therapists do is equally as transformative for the therapist as it is to the patient. To ensure someone receives the treatment they need to carry out the life they want is paramount
The concept of accessibility extends to a wide range of facilities that are a part of our everyday usage such as elevators, Braille signage and sound-enabled signals at pedestrian crossings. The overall aim of this concept is to enable people with special requirements to gain access to aspects of everyday life that include transportation, education, employment, housing, entertainment and so on.
