In 2017 my Website was
migrated to the clouds and reduced in size.
Hence some links below are broken.
One thing to try if a “www” link is broken is to substitute
“faculty” for “www”
For example a broken link
http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/Pictures.htm
can be changed to corrected link
http://faculty.trinity.edu/rjensen/Pictures.htm
However in some cases files had to be removed to reduce the size of
my Website
Contact me at rjensen@trinity.edu if
you really need to file that is missing
Specialized Subsections (still working on these links)
If you have some time, it's best to first do a
word search on a topic of interest

MIT's Video Lecture Search
Engine: Watch the video at ---
http://web.sls.csail.mit.edu/lectures/
Researchers at MIT have released a video and audio search tool that solves one
of the most challenging problems in the field: how to break up a lengthy
academic lecture into manageable chunks, pinpoint the location of keywords, and
direct the user to them. Announced last month, the MIT
Lecture Browser website gives the general public
detailed access to more than 200 lectures publicly available though the
university's
OpenCourseWare
initiative. The search engine
leverages decades' worth of speech-recognition research at MIT and other
institutions to
convert
audio
into text and make it searchable.
Kate Greene, MIT's Technology Review, November 26, 2007 ---

Affirmative Action Favors Women, Blacks and Latinos Over Whites and Asian
Males in Science Tenure Track Hiring
"Advantage Women,," by Colleen Flaherty," National Academy of
Sciences via Inside Higher Ed, April 14, 2015 ---
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/04/14/study-suggests-stem-faculty-hiring-favors-women-over-men
Many studies suggest that women
scientists aspiring to careers in academe face roadblocks,
including bias -- implicit or overt -- in hiring.
But a new study is throwing a
curveball into the literature, suggesting that women
candidates are favored 2 to 1 over men for tenure-track
positions in the science, technology, engineering and math
fields. Could it be
that STEM gender diversity and bias awareness efforts are
working, or even creating a preference for female candidates
-- or is something more nuanced going on? Experts say it’s
probably both.
Wendy M. Williams, professor of
human development at Cornell University, and Stephen Ceci,
the Helen L. Carr Professor of Developmental Psychology at
Cornell, are no strangers to complicating research on gender
bias in STEM. In a
2010 paper in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences, for example, they
argued that women’s life choices, whether voluntary or
constrained, better explain women’s underrepresentation in
STEM than the usual suspects of discrimination in journal
and grant reviewing and hiring. (They argued such biases
were things of the past, and that efforts to address them
missed the real source of the problem.)

OPNSense ---
https://opnsense.org/
OPNSense is an open source
operating system that can be used to build a firewall
appliance. When installed on a dedicated computer
(typically with at least two network cards), it can
provide protection and monitoring for an entire network.
OPNSense includes "captive portal" features that can be
used to manage a public wifi network. It also
incorporates network traffic monitoring using the
industry-standard Netflow system. OPNSense
administrators can also enable category-based web
filtering (e.g. for school networks). A number of VPN
options are included as well, including OpenVPN, IPsec,
L2TP, and PPTP. All of OPNSense's features are
configured through a web-based interface for which
extensive online documentation is available. The
smallest machine that can run OPNsense will have a
500MNz intel processor with 512MB of memory and 4 GB of
storage. For full functionality, the OPNSense project
recommends a 1.5 GHz intel processor, 4GB of memory, and
120GB of storage.

This past week, two separate
research teams announced that they had sequenced
the DNA of early strands of Hepatitis B (HBV)
from the skeletons of humans who lived thousands
of years ago. In doing so, the two research
groups have uncovered new insights into the
history of the virus that continues to have a
devastating impact around the globe. One of the
two research teams was headed by Ben Krause-Kyora
of Kiel University and Johannes Krause of the
Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human
History. This team sequenced the DNA of
Hepatitis B viruses found on three skeletons
from individuals who lived from 1,000 to 7,000
years ago, respectively. This team reported
their research on bioRxiv. On Wednesday, a
second team of scientists headed by Eske
Willerslev (an evolutionary geneticist who is a
professor at the University of Cambridge in the
UK and the University of Copenhagen, Denmark)
published an article in Nature outlining
their research. This team successfully sequenced
HBV DNA from 12 skeletons of individuals who
lived between 4,500 and 820 years ago.
University of Sydney virologist Edward C. Holmes
remarked on this study: "It's a hugely important
moment in our understanding of one the most
important pathogens of humans." [MMB]
The first three links take
readers to three summaries of these two new
research studies. These summaries come from Carl
Zimmer of The New York Times, Sarah Zhang
of The Atlantic, and Michael Price of
Science Magazine. Earlier this year, another
team of scientists at Rutgers University
sequenced HBV DNA from the mummy of a child who
lived approximately 450 years ago and published
their results in PLOS One. Readers will find
that study via the fourth link. Those interested
in learning (or teaching) more about the science
of viruses may find the National Center for
Biotechnology Information's online resource on
the subject to be helpful. Finally, the last
link takes visitors to Khan Academy's helpful
video about viruses. |

Affirmative Action Favors Women, Blacks and Latinos Over Whites and Asian
Males in Science Tenure Track Hiring
"Advantage Women,," by Colleen Flaherty," National Academy of
Sciences via Inside Higher Ed, April 14, 2015 ---
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/04/14/study-suggests-stem-faculty-hiring-favors-women-over-men
Many studies suggest that women
scientists aspiring to careers in academe face roadblocks,
including bias -- implicit or overt -- in hiring.
But a new study is throwing a
curveball into the literature, suggesting that women
candidates are favored 2 to 1 over men for tenure-track
positions in the science, technology, engineering and math
fields. Could it be
that STEM gender diversity and bias awareness efforts are
working, or even creating a preference for female candidates
-- or is something more nuanced going on? Experts say it’s
probably both.
Wendy M. Williams, professor of
human development at Cornell University, and Stephen Ceci,
the Helen L. Carr Professor of Developmental Psychology at
Cornell, are no strangers to complicating research on gender
bias in STEM. In a
2010 paper in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences, for example, they
argued that women’s life choices, whether voluntary or
constrained, better explain women’s underrepresentation in
STEM than the usual suspects of discrimination in journal
and grant reviewing and hiring. (They argued such biases
were things of the past, and that efforts to address them
missed the real source of the problem.)

Stephen Hawking Lecture: How to Escape Out of a
Black Hole
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_d7O9JGo_s
On Tuesday, March 14, physicist
Stephen Hawking died at his home in Cambridge,
England at the age of 76. Throughout his career,
Hawking used quantum physics to illuminate one of
the most enigmatic parts of the cosmos: black holes.
Hawking was born in Oxford, England, on January 8,
1942. He attended University College, Oxford (where
he later claimed that he studied only about an hour
a day) and then attended Cambridge to pursue
graduate studies. In 1963, at the age of 21, Hawking
was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
and was told that he had, at best, three years to
live. Hawking later reported that his diagnosis
sparked his determination to pursue his research.
"When you are faced with the possibility of an early
death, it makes you realize that life is worth
living and that there are a lot of things you want
to do," he said. In 1970, Hawking collaborated with
Roger Penrose to publish an article explaining how
the universe emerged from a singularity. In 1974,
Hawking published a paper demonstrating that black
holes emit radiation (now called "Hawking
Radiations"). In 1988 Hawking wrote the best-selling
A Brief History of Time, which garnered
critical acclaim for making complex scientific ideas
accessible the general public.
The first link takes readers to an
obituary of Stephen Hawking by Ian Sample at The
Guardian. This obituary includes a link to a
second Guardian obituary for Hawking authored
by his colleague Roger Penrose. The second link
takes readers to Dennis Overbye's obituary of
Hawking for The New York Times. Moving along,
the third link takes readers to an October 2017
Independent report that Hawking's Ph.D. thesis
is now available online through Cambridge's Apollo
system. (The article includes a link for those
interested in exploring the thesis). The fourth link
takes readers to a short documentary film clip,
courtesy of the BBC, that explains Hawking
radiation. Finally, the last two links take readers
to video recordings of two lectures by Hawking: his
2008 TED Talk, "Questioning the universe" and a 2015
lecture presented at the University of Southern
California entitled "How to Get Out of a Black
Hole." |

OPNSense ---
https://opnsense.org/
OPNSense is an open source operating
system that can be used to build a firewall appliance. When
installed on a dedicated computer (typically with at least
two network cards), it can provide protection and monitoring
for an entire network. OPNSense includes "captive portal"
features that can be used to manage a public wifi network.
It also incorporates network traffic monitoring using the
industry-standard Netflow system. OPNSense administrators
can also enable category-based web filtering (e.g. for
school networks). A number of VPN options are included as
well, including OpenVPN, IPsec, L2TP, and PPTP. All of
OPNSense's features are configured through a web-based
interface for which extensive online documentation is
available. The smallest machine that can run OPNsense will
have a 500MNz intel processor with 512MB of memory and 4 GB
of storage. For full functionality, the OPNSense project
recommends a 1.5 GHz intel processor, 4GB of memory, and
120GB of storage.

This past week, two separate research
teams announced that they had sequenced the DNA of
early strands of Hepatitis B (HBV) from the
skeletons of humans who lived thousands of years
ago. In doing so, the two research groups have
uncovered new insights into the history of the virus
that continues to have a devastating impact around
the globe. One of the two research teams was headed
by Ben Krause-Kyora of Kiel University and Johannes
Krause of the Max Planck Institute for the Science
of Human History. This team sequenced the DNA of
Hepatitis B viruses found on three skeletons from
individuals who lived from 1,000 to 7,000 years ago,
respectively. This team reported their research on
bioRxiv. On Wednesday, a second team of scientists
headed by Eske Willerslev (an evolutionary
geneticist who is a professor at the University of
Cambridge in the UK and the University of
Copenhagen, Denmark) published an article in
Nature outlining their research. This team
successfully sequenced HBV DNA from 12 skeletons of
individuals who lived between 4,500 and 820 years
ago. University of Sydney virologist Edward C.
Holmes remarked on this study: "It's a hugely
important moment in our understanding of one the
most important pathogens of humans." [MMB]
The first three links take readers to
three summaries of these two new research studies.
These summaries come from Carl Zimmer of The New
York Times, Sarah Zhang of The Atlantic,
and Michael Price of Science Magazine.
Earlier this year, another team of scientists at
Rutgers University sequenced HBV DNA from the mummy
of a child who lived approximately 450 years ago and
published their results in PLOS One. Readers will
find that study via the fourth link. Those
interested in learning (or teaching) more about the
science of viruses may find the National Center for
Biotechnology Information's online resource on the
subject to be helpful. Finally, the last link takes
visitors to Khan Academy's helpful video about
viruses. |

Stephen Hawking Lecture: How to Escape Out of a
Black Hole
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_d7O9JGo_s
On Tuesday, March 14, physicist
Stephen Hawking died at his home in Cambridge,
England at the age of 76. Throughout his career,
Hawking used quantum physics to illuminate one of
the most enigmatic parts of the cosmos: black holes.
Hawking was born in Oxford, England, on January 8,
1942. He attended University College, Oxford (where
he later claimed that he studied only about an hour
a day) and then attended Cambridge to pursue
graduate studies. In 1963, at the age of 21, Hawking
was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
and was told that he had, at best, three years to
live. Hawking later reported that his diagnosis
sparked his determination to pursue his research.
"When you are faced with the possibility of an early
death, it makes you realize that life is worth
living and that there are a lot of things you want
to do," he said. In 1970, Hawking collaborated with
Roger Penrose to publish an article explaining how
the universe emerged from a singularity. In 1974,
Hawking published a paper demonstrating that black
holes emit radiation (now called "Hawking
Radiations"). In 1988 Hawking wrote the best-selling
A Brief History of Time, which garnered
critical acclaim for making complex scientific ideas
accessible the general public.
The first link takes readers to an
obituary of Stephen Hawking by Ian Sample at The
Guardian. This obituary includes a link to a
second Guardian obituary for Hawking authored
by his colleague Roger Penrose. The second link
takes readers to Dennis Overbye's obituary of
Hawking for The New York Times. Moving along,
the third link takes readers to an October 2017
Independent report that Hawking's Ph.D. thesis
is now available online through Cambridge's Apollo
system. (The article includes a link for those
interested in exploring the thesis). The fourth link
takes readers to a short documentary film clip,
courtesy of the BBC, that explains Hawking
radiation. Finally, the last two links take readers
to video recordings of two lectures by Hawking: his
2008 TED Talk, "Questioning the universe" and a 2015
lecture presented at the University of Southern
California entitled "How to Get Out of a Black
Hole." |

probably would not understand anyway.

World Weather ---
http://www.clicktorelease.com/code/weather/
What's going on in the world of
weather? Are there storms around Sri Lanka? What about the
snows of Kilimanjaro? These can be pressing questions,
indeed, and the World Weather app is a great way to stay in
touch with weather patterns around the globe. Users will
find that they can just type in a city name to see the
current weather and also zoom around the globe as they see
fit. It's a remarkable addition to the world of existing
weather tracking apps and is compatible with all operating
systems.

Bowling Green State University: Resources from the Center for Teaching and
Learning ---
http://www.bgsu.edu/ctl/page10679.html
Technology is changing the way students learn. Is
it changing the way colleges teach?
Not enough, says George Siemens, associate director
of research and development at the University of Manitoba’s Learning
Technologies Centre.
While colleges and universities have been “fairly
aggressive” in adapting their curricula to the changing world, Mr. Siemens
told The Chronicle, “What we haven’t done very well in the last few
decades is altering our pedagogy.”
To help get colleges thinking about how they might
adapt their teaching styles to the new ways students absorb and process
information, Mr. Siemens and Peter Tittenberger, director of the center,
have created a Web-based guide, called the
Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning.
Taking their own advice, they have outfitted the
handbook with a wiki function that will allow readers to contribute their
own additions.
In the its introduction, the handbook declares the
old pedagogical model—where the students draw their information primarily
from textbooks, newspapers, and their professors—dead. “Our learning and
information acquisition is a mash-up,” the authors write. “We take pieces,
add pieces, dialogue, reframe, rethink, connect, and ultimately, we end up
with some type of pattern that symbolizes what’s happening ‘out there’ and
what it means to us.” Students are forced to develop new ways of making
sense of this flood of information fragments.
But Mr. Siemens said that colleges had been slow to
appreciate this fact. “I don’t see a lot of research coming out on what
universities might look like in the future,” he said. “If how we interact
with information and with each other fundamentally changes, it would suggest
that the institution also needs to change.”
Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning ---
http://ltc.umanitoba.ca/wikis/etl/index.php/Handbook_of_Emerging_Technologies_for_Learning
Preface
This Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning (HETL) has been
designed as a resource for educators planning to incorporate technologies in
their teaching and learning activities.
Introduction
How is education to fulfill its societal role of clarifying confusion
when tools of control over information creation and dissemination rest in
the hands of learners[3], contributing to the growing complexity and
confusion of information abundance?
Change Pressures and Trends
Global, political, social, technological, and educational change
pressures are disrupting the traditional role (and possibly design) of
universities. Higher education faces a "re-balancing" in response to growing
points of tension along the following fault lines...
What we know about learning
Over the last century, educator’s understanding of the process and act of
learning has advanced considerably.
Technology, Teaching, and Learning
Technology is concerned with "designing aids and tools to perfect the
mind". As a means of extending the sometimes limited reach of humanity,
technology has been prominent in communication and learning. Technology has
also played a role in classrooms through the use of movies, recorded video
lectures, and overhead projectors. Emerging technology use is growing in
communication and in creating, sharing, and interacting around content.
Media and technology
A transition from epistemology (knowledge) to ontology (being) suggests
media and technology need to be employed to serve in the development of
learners capable of participating in complex environments.
Change cycles and future patterns
It is not uncommon for theorists and thinkers to declare some variation
of the theme "change is the only constant". Surprisingly, in an era where
change is prominent, change itself has not been developed as a field of
study. Why do systems change? Why do entire societies move from one
governing philosophy to another? How does change occur within universities?
New Learners? New Educators? New Skills?
New literacies (based on abundance of information and the significant
changes brought about technology) are needed. Rather than conceiving
literacy as a singular concept, a multi-literacy view is warranted.
Tools
Each tool possesses multiple affordances. Blogs, for example, can be used
for personal reflection and interaction. Wikis are well suited for
collaborative work and brainstorming. Social networks tools are effective
for the formation of learning and social networks. Matching affordances of a
particular tool with learning activities is an important design and teaching
activity
Research
Evaluating the effectiveness of technology use in teaching and learning
brings to mind Albert Einstein’s statement: "Not everything that can be
counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted". When we
begin to consider the impact and effectiveness of technology in the teaching
and learning process, obvious questions arise: "How do we measure
effectiveness? Is it time spent in a classroom? Is it a function of test
scores? Is it about learning? Or understanding?"
Conclusion
Through a process of active experimentation, the academy’s role in
society will emerge as a prominent sensemaking and knowledge expansion
institution, reflecting of the needs of learners and society while
maintaining its role as a transformative agent in pursuit of humanity’s
highest ideals.

Community College Open-Textbook Project Gets Under Way
Especially note the open sharing sources being used
The Community College Open Textbook Project begins this week with a
member meeting in California," by Catherine Rampell, Chronicle of Higher
Education, April 29, 2008 ---
Click Here
At the meeting, representatives of institutions around the country will
start reviewing open-textbook models for “quality, usability, accessibility,
and sustainability,” according to a news release. They will initially review
four providers of free online educational resources:
Connexions, run by
Rice University;
Flat World Knowledge, a commercial digital-textbook publisher that will
begin
offering free textbooks online next year; the University of California’s
UC College Prep Online,
which offers Advanced Placement and other courses online; and the
Community
College Consortium for Open Educational Resources, which was founded by
the Foothill-De Anza Community College District and the League for
Innovation in the Community College.
The open-textbook project was paid for by a $530,000 grant to the Foothill-De
Anza Community College District from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

This course examines the role of the
engineer as patent expert and as technical witness in court and patent
interference and related proceedings. It discusses the rights and obligations of
engineers in connection with educational institutions, government, and large and
small businesses. It compares various manners of transplanting inventions into
business operations, including development of New England and other U.S.
electronics and biotechnology industries and their different types of
institutions. The course also considers American systems of incentive to
creativity apart from the patent laws in the atomic energy and space fields.

Question
How does a nuclear power plant really work?
HowStuffWorks: "How Nuclear Power Works"
http://www.howstuffworks.com/nuclear-power.htm
July 10, 2008 message from Carly Smith
[carly.smith@brighthub.com]
Dear Professor Jenson,
While doing some research for my job I somehow
stumbled across your delightful site and your very interesting assortment of
links and quotes. I spent quite a bit of time exploring your page, and
especially enjoyed the link to World Clock. You seem to have a wide variety
of interests!
I am working as an Editorial Assistant at
BrightHub.Com, a science and tech website offering articles from
professionals around the world. One of my responsibilities is the mechanical
engineering channel:
http://www.brighthub.com/Engineering/Mechanical.aspx . I noticed you
have quite a few links to HowStuffWorks, and thought you might enjoy reading
one of our articles on How a Nuclear Power Plant Works,
http://www.brighthub.com/Engineering/Mechanical/articles/2329.aspx . I
think it offers a nice introduction into the world of nuclear power. I would
recommend exploring the rest of our site as well; I think you’ll find a lot
that interests you!
Thank you for your time! We are seeking to make
Bright Hub an excellent resource for learners of all ages and backgrounds
and would appreciate feedback from a professional such as yourself. I am
including my contact information below so feel free to send me comments and
suggestions. If you enjoyed reading the article on How a
Nuclear Power Plant Works or our
Mechanical Engineering channel in general we would appreciate the
reference!
Sincerely,
Carly Smith

August 8, 2011 message from biology professor Bob Blystone
I wish I had discovered this before the end of
summer. Baylor College of Medicine has an interesting education project
known as BioEd Online. One of their projects might interest middle school
aged kids... Spiders in Space. A variety of activities and a possible
science fair project, all done digitally.
http://www.bioedonline.org/space/STS_Mission_134S.cfm
Have a look before we are all back to school.

It had to be plowed up and replanted with lupines (that are slow

If This Then That ---
https://ifttt.com
If This Then That (IFTTT) is an
innovative web-based service that helps users easily and
automatically facilitate numerous computerized tasks. The
service operates on the premise of user-initiated "recipes"
- a combination of two "channels," or services. Readers
simply enter a "trigger channel" and an "action channel" to
create a recipe. Each time the trigger occurs, the action
follows. For instance, readers may ask IFTTT to email them
any time the temperature falls below freezing, or text them
anytime the Philadelphia Eagles appear in the news. Sign up
is free, and the website is simple and intuitive. IFTTT
works compatibly with numerous apps, including Instagram,
Dropbox, and Blogger.

Earth-Now ---
http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/earth20120319.html
This app from NASA gives readers a
peek into the constantly fluctuating elements of the earth’s
atmosphere. Using 3D models constructed from satellite
images, the app visually displays the causes and effects of
climate change via surface air temperature, carbon dioxide
and carbon monoxide levels, and sea level height anomalies
among others. Fascinating for students, teachers, and anyone
interested in climate change, Earth-Now is compatible with
Apple devices running iOS 5.1+ and Android devices running
4.0+

New Study Reveals There Are 8.3 Metric Tons of Plastic on Our Planet
Plastic is Everywhere And Recycling Isn't the End of It

How a Crazy Laboratory Accident Helped Create Plastic

The British Plastics Industry - 1945 Educational Documentary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i38Yz4pFQRk
Plastic was invented in 1907. In the 1950s, the material became ubiquitous
in a wide range of products. Today, there are 8.3 billion metric tons of
plastic on our planet. That's roughly the weight of 25,000 Empire State
buildings, and enough to cover the entire country of Argentina. This
alarming finding comes from Roland Geyer, an industrial ecologist at the
University of California, Santa Barbara; Jenna R. Jambeck of the University
of Georgia College of Engineering, and Kara Lavender Law of the Sea
Education Association, who published their study in <i>Science Advances</i>
on Wednesday, July 19th. Of this 8.3 metric tons, 79 percent of plastics
are in landfills, 12 percent are incinerated, and a mere 9 percent is
recycled. The study also notes that the greatest proportion of plastic is
created for packaging (42 percent) and construction (about 20 percent).
Perhaps most frighteningly, Geyer and his fellow co-authors predicted the
amount of plastic on Earth to expand to 12 billion metric tons by the year
2050. Geyer, Jambeck, and Law were also part of the team that authored a
2015 study that estimated that between 4.8 and 12.7 million metric tons of
plastic enters the ocean each year. Geyer notes, "Virtually all the plastic
we ever made is non-degradable. [It] will be with us for hundreds of
years."
The first three links take readers to summaries of this new study, courtesy
of Christopher Joyce of NPR, Jonathan Amos of BBC News, and Tatiana
Schlossberg of <i>The New York Times</i>. Those interested in reading the
study in full may do so via the fourth link. The fifth link takes visitors
to a video from Discovery News' DNews Plus about the chemistry behind
plastic and the material's invention. Finally, the last link takes visitors
to a 1945 promotional video from the British Plastics Industry. This
video, which depicts how plastics were manufactured in factories at the
time, offers historical insight about the moment when plastic became a
mass-produced and mass-marketed material.

From Nate Silver's 5:38 Blog on July 1, 2015
1.89 kills per cat
per month
It’s crucial to remember that
house cats are descended from a line of apex
predators and that the urge to hunt never fully left
them. New research in the “Ecology and Evolution”
journal suggests that outdoor cat owners vastly
underestimate the efficient killing machines in
their care. In a study of British cats and their
owners, the mean number of things a cat kills every
month was 1.89. The cats’ owners, meanwhile, had no
idea how many things their own cats were killing.
Keep them inside, people.
The birds don’t stand a chance
otherwise. [Ecology
and Evolution via
Gizmodo]

Personal Brain 4.5.0.8 ---
http://www.thebrain.com/#-53
The Personal Brain application promises "mind
mapping" and it's an intriguing idea at that. Essentially the application
allows users the ability to map out key documents, contacts, files, and Web
pages via a graphic user interface. It is well worth a look, and this
particular version can be used for 30 days at no charge and a free edition
is available to use as long as you want. Personal Brain is compatible with
computers running Windows 2000 and newer.

Great Backyard Bird Count ---
http://gbbc.birdcount.org/
1.89 kills per cat
per month
It’s crucial to remember that
house cats are descended from a line of apex
predators and that the urge to hunt never fully left
them. New research in the “Ecology and Evolution”
journal suggests that outdoor cat owners vastly
underestimate the efficient killing machines in
their care. In a study of British cats and their
owners, the mean number of things a cat kills every
month was 1.89. The cats’ owners, meanwhile, had no
idea how many things their own cats were killing.
Keep them inside, people.
The birds don’t stand a chance
otherwise. [Ecology
and Evolution via
Gizmodo]

The asters reveal themselves in the late summer and I pull them
everywhere I can in our wildflower field and wild roses. Down
the road an outstanding lupine field was taken over with asters.
It had to be plowed up and replanted with lupines (that are slow
coming back).

The Climate Change Climate Change: The number of skeptics is
swelling everywhere.
The number of skeptics, far from shrinking, is
swelling. Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe now counts more than 700 scientists who
disagree with the U.N. -- 13 times the number who authored the U.N.'s 2007
climate summary for policymakers. Joanne Simpson, the world's first woman to
receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year
that she was finally free to speak "frankly" of her nonbelief. Dr. Kiminori Itoh,
a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate
report, dubs man-made warming "the worst scientific scandal in history."
Norway's Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the "new
religion." A group of 54 noted physicists, led by Princeton's Will Happer, is
demanding the American Physical Society revise its position that the science is
settled. (Both Nature and Science magazines have
refused to run the physicists' open letter.) The
collapse of the "consensus" has been driven by reality. The inconvenient truth
is that the earth's temperatures have flat-lined since 2001, despite growing
concentrations of C02. Peer-reviewed research has debunked doomsday scenarios
about the polar ice caps, hurricanes, malaria, extinctions, rising oceans. A
global financial crisis has politicians taking a harder look at the science that
would require them to hamstring their economies to rein in carbon.
The Wall Street Journal, June 26,
2009 --- http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124597505076157449.html
The Environmental Protection Agency may have
suppressed an internal report that was skeptical of claims about global warming,
including whether carbon dioxide must be strictly regulated by the federal
government, according to a series of newly disclosed e-mail messages. Less than
two weeks before the agency formally submitted its pro-regulation recommendation
to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned
against making hasty "decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not
appear to explain most of the available data."

Astrophysics, Harvard University, March 31, 2003 ---
http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/news/archive/pr0310.html
A review of more than 200 climate studies
led by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has
determined that the 20th century is neither the warmest century nor the
century with the most extreme weather of the past 1000 years. The review
also confirmed that the Medieval Warm Period of 800 to 1300 A.D. and the
Little Ice Age of 1300 to 1900 A.D. were worldwide phenomena not limited to
the European and North American continents. While 20th century temperatures
are much higher than in the Little Ice Age period, many parts of the world
show the medieval warmth to be greater than that of the 20th century.
Smithsonian astronomers Willie Soon and
Sallie Baliunas, with co-authors Craig Idso and Sherwood Idso (Center for
the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change) and David Legates (Center for
Climatic Research, University of Delaware), compiled and examined results
from more than 240 research papers published by thousands of researchers
over the past four decades. Their report, covering a multitude of
geophysical and biological climate indicators, provides a detailed look at
climate changes that occurred in different regions around the world over the
last 1000 years.
"Many true research advances in
reconstructing ancient climates have occurred over the past two decades,"
Soon says, "so we felt it was time to pull together a large sample of recent
studies from the last 5-10 years and look for patterns of variability and
change. In fact, clear patterns did emerge showing that regions worldwide
experienced the highs of the Medieval Warm Period and lows of the Little Ice
Age, and that 20th century temperatures are generally cooler than during the
medieval warmth."
Soon and his colleagues concluded that the
20th century is neither the warmest century over the last 1000 years, nor is
it the most extreme. Their findings about the pattern of historical climate
variations will help make computer climate models simulate both natural and
man-made changes more accurately, and lead to better climate forecasts
especially on local and regional levels. This is especially true in
simulations on timescales ranging from several decades to a century.
Historical Cold, Warm Periods Verified
Studying climate change is challenging for
a number of reasons, not the least of which is the bewildering variety of
climate indicators - all sensitive to different climatic variables, and each
operating on slightly overlapping yet distinct scales of space and time. For
example, tree ring studies can yield yearly records of temperature and
precipitation trends, while glacier ice cores record those variables over
longer time scales of several decades to a century.
Soon, Baliunas and colleagues analyzed
numerous climate indicators including: borehole data; cultural data; glacier
advances or retreats; geomorphology; isotopic analysis from lake sediments
or ice cores, tree or peat celluloses (carbohydrates), corals, stalagmite or
biological fossils; net ice accumulation rate, including dust or chemical
counts; lake fossils and sediments; river sediments; melt layers in ice
cores; phenological (recurring natural phenomena in relation to climate) and
paleontological fossils; pollen; seafloor sediments; luminescent analysis;
tree ring growth, including either ring width or maximum late-wood density;
and shifting tree line positions plus tree stumps in lakes, marshes and
streams.
"Like forensic detectives, we assembled
these series of clues in order to answer a specific question about local and
regional climate change: Is there evidence for notable climatic anomalies
during particular time periods over the past 1000 years?" Soon says. "The
cumulative evidence showed that such anomalies did exist."
The worldwide range of climate records
confirmed two significant climate periods in the last thousand years, the
Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period. The climatic notion of a Little
Ice Age interval from 1300 to1900 A.D. and a Medieval Warm Period from 800
to 1300 A.D. appears to be rather well-confirmed and wide-spread, despite
some differences from one region to another as measured by other climatic
variables like precipitation, drought cycles, or glacier advances and
retreats.
"For a long time, researchers have
possessed anecdotal evidence supporting the existence of these climate
extremes," Baliunas says. "For example, the Vikings established colonies in
Greenland at the beginning of the second millennium that died out several
hundred years later when the climate turned colder. And in England,
vineyards had flourished during the medieval warmth. Now, we have an
accumulation of objective data to back up these cultural indicators."
The different indicators provided clear
evidence for a warm period in the Middle Ages. Tree ring summer temperatures
showed a warm interval from 950 A.D. to 1100 A.D. in the northern high
latitude zones, which corresponds to the "Medieval Warm Period." Another
database of tree growth from 14 different locations over 30-70 degrees north
latitude showed a similar early warm period. Many parts of the world show
the medieval warmth to be greater than that of the 20th century.
The study - funded by NASA, the Air Force
Office of Scientific Research, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, and the American Petroleum Institute - will be published in
the Energy and Environment journal. A shorter paper by Soon and Baliunas
appeared in the January 31, 2003 issue of the Climate Research journal.

Global Warming Test ---
http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/GlobWarmTest/start.html
Critique of the test by a geoscientist:
Bob,
I owe you a longer response, so
here goes:
Much of the information on
the test is correct... but facts out of context can often mislead!
I have strong issues with
several questions on those grounds:
Question 3 asks what the
main cause of global warming is, and gives 3 possible choices. There are
two major problems here. First the question is time dependent. Second,
several "main" causes aren't even listed as possibilities. Some
examples: If I ask what the main cause of the warming that has occurred
over the last 18,000 years is, the answer is Milankovitch orbital
variations (which include more than the "eccentricities" listed in
answer b), but if I ask what the main cause of global warming was in the
late Mesozoic, the answer is CO2 released by tectonic activity. If I ask
what the main cause of global warming was between 1992 and 1999, the
answer is the diminishing effects of the SO2 released by the Mt.
Pinatubo eruption. And if I ask what is the main cause of global warming
has been over the past two centuries, the answer is increasing
atmospheric greenhouse gasses, some of which are human produced.
Although the author discusses many of these causes on his answer page,
clearly understanding relative time scales and interactions go way
beyond his simplistic multiple choices.
Question 5 implies that
something less than 1 degree C is negligible... but continuous changes
of this magnitude in overall global averages implies that polar high
temps are increasing more... since hotter equatorial regions stay
relatively the same. This may be insignificant to the author, but ask a
polar bear!
Question 6 implies that
just because CO2 has been higher in the geologic past means we don't
need to worry about current trends. This ignores two significant issues.
First, solar output was much different in the past. Second, rate of
change is more important for ecosystems than absolute changes. It took
millions of years for CO2 to rise in the mid Mesozoic... not several
centuries. Berner's data without error bars is also a bit misleading.
Question 7 has only
simplistic answers. Sure, trees love CO2. But things we love can hurt
us. Eat too many Twinkies and you die of clogged arteries. While forests
like the CO2, individual species can't necessarily adapt to rapid
climate changes. Your grandchildren won't see any Sugar Maples in New
England, despite their use of CO2.
Question 9 depends on how
one defines drastic. And check out the Oregon Institute of Science and
Medicine...
Question 10 is
simplistic... all three means are important to determining how the Earth
is changing. To say that high altitude temps are the only important
measure is absurd. What is worse, the answer page still hawks the line
that satellite data shows decreasing temperatures. This is well known
error in early analyses that NASA has repudiated.
So the upshot is that there
are many truths in this quiz. But that are presented along with
untruths, and half truths in order to support a particular viewpoint.
Whether that viewpoint is right or wrong is unimportant. Science must
not seek to prove a point. That is what faith is for.
You may remember Ana Unruh,
Trinity's first (and so far only) Rhodes Scholar. She is now a Senior
Policy advisor for the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and
Global Warming (she is also now Ana Unruh Cohen). She likes to point out
that climate models now been shown to be very accurate over the last
10-12 years but many politicians are unwilling to accept them, but the
same politicians are willing to budget based on economic models that
have much less basis in theory and much worse track records for
predictive capability.
"Will the Next Ice Age Be Permanent? by Andrew C. Revkin, The New York
Times, November 12, 2008 ---
http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/12/will-next-ice-age-be-permanent/
A new analysis of the dramatic cycles of ice ages
and warm intervals over the past million years, published in
Nature,
concludes that the climatic swings are the gyrations
of a system poised to settle into a permanent colder state — with expanded
ice sheets at both poles.
In essence, says one of the two authors, Thomas J.
Crowley of the University of Edinburgh, the ice age cycles over the past
million years are a super-slow-motion variant of the dramatic jostlings
recorded by a seismograph in an earthquake before the ground settles into a
new quiet state. He and William T. Hyde of the University of Toronto used
climate models and other techniques to assess the chances that the world is
witnessing the final stages of a 50-million-year transition from a planet
with a persistent warm climate and scant polar ice to one with greatly
expanded ice sheets at both poles.
Their findings have stirred a lot of skepticism in
the community of specialists examining ancient records of past climate
changes and how they might relate to variations in Earth’s orbit and
orientation toward the Sun and other factors. I’ll be adding some of their
reactions overnight (I’m on the road).
The Nature paper goes on to propose that humans, as
long as they have a technologically powerful society, would be likely to
avert such a slide into a long big chill by adding greenhouse gases to the
atmosphere. That doesn’t obviate the need to curb such emissions and the
prospect of dangerous climate warming in the short run, Dr. Crowley said.
But it is more evidence that like it or not, the future of conditions on
Earth is likely to be a function of human actions, whether chosen or not.
The idea that human actions can dominate the
climatic influence of things as grand as shifts in a planet’s orbit is hard
to grasp, but quite a few climate specialist say it’s pretty clear this is
the case. In 2003, I wrote an article exploring
when scientists think we’ll slide into the next ice age
(the conventional variety). James Hansen of NASA
echoed Dr. Crowley, saying that as long as we’re technologically able, we’ll
be able to keep the big ice at bay. Strange, wonderful stuff, climate
science
Controversial FAQs (at least some of them) about global warming ---
http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/FAQs.htm
The future? The disappearance of sun spots was the
hot topic at a recent international solar conference held at Montana State
University. For the past two years, the sun has undergone a phase of relative
inactivity, meaning usual solar phenomena such as sun flares, sun spots, and
solar eruptions have all but disappeared. "It's a dead face," researcher Saku
Tsuneta says of the solar surface. Tsuneta is with the National Astronomical
Observatory of Japan and was one of the participants at the MSU conference The
good news is that without such intense solar activity disruptions to space
technology and even our beloved gadgets here on earth have been minimal. While
this provides some relief to those of us whose cell phones dropped calls at the
tiniest solar flare, scientists are concerned that this means bigger things to
come for Earth's climate. Dana Longcope, a solar physicist at MSU, explains that
the sun generally runs on an 11-year cycle and that there is usually a minimum
of activity as the cycles change. The last cycle peak was in 2001 and the next
cycle is predicted to peak around 2012. The sun is now as inactive as it was two
years ago, and scientists aren't sure why. Some have even suggested that the
inactivity portents the beginning of a new ice age. Geophysicist Phil Chapman,
the first Australian NASA astronaut, confirms that there are indeed no sun spots
currently on the solar surface. He also notes that
the earth has cooled by about 0.7 degrees Celsius between January 2007 and
January 2008, and says, "This is the fastest
temperature change in the instrumental record, and it puts us back to where we
were in 1930." Oleg Sorokhtin, a fellow at the Russian Academy of Natural
Sciences, is also certain that it's an indication of a coming cooling period.
He warns that climate change caused by man is "a drop in
the bucket" compared to the fierce cold that can inactive solar phases can
bring.

Liberal Bias in Arctic Warming "Exaggerations"
"Rumors of the Death of Arctic Sea Ice Greatly Exaggerated," by Timothy
Birdnow, Pajamas Media, December 20, 2008 ---
http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/rumors-of-the-death-of-arctic-sea-ice-greatly-exaggerated/
The Gang Green — those who believe that man is
destroying the planet via our release of industrial emissions — have
struggled to convince the populace that their viewpoint, based almost
entirely on computer simulations and not on actual recorded data, is
correct. (I often refer to global warming as the Goldilocks theory; if it is
too hot, too cold, or just right it must be global warming!) Every time Al
Gore gives a speech the temperature drops into single digits. We haven’t had
any real planetary warming
since 1998,
and this year has been
unseasonably cool, a likely result of an anemic sunspot cycle and reversals
in wind and wave oscillations in the Pacific. So the alarmists are forced to
making desperate pronouncements designed to panic the average Joe.
One issue that they’ve employed to good advantage
is the loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean. Just run a quick Google search
on “Arctic sea ice vanishing” and you will find a series of breathless
warnings of coming doom and pictures of drowning polar bears. The alarmist
will triumphantly point to the opening of the Northwest Passage and the
unusually low ice levels of 2007 and 2008, claiming this is absolute proof
that anthropogenic (man-made) global warming (AGW) is wrecking the planet.
NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), for example, recently
released a dire
warning that “between 1.5
and 2 trillion tons of ice have melted in Greenland, Antarctica,
and Alaska” and that this proves that we are in the throes of a man-made
crisis, one that will trigger massive sea level rise as polar ice melts
away. Clearly human greenhouse gas emissions are becoming a planetary
emergency.
But are they?
Climate Science, the weblog of climatologist Roger
Pielke Sr., discusses the issue of Arctic sea ice melt and explains why the
freeze and thaw dates
are important to
establishing whether ice loss/gain is related to greenhouse gases.
The upshot of his argument is that the start of the
freeze-up should come later in the fall, as the melt should likewise begin
earlier. It’s not simply a matter of how much ice is lost, but when it is
lost.
Dr. Pielke Sr. quotes from a recent paper on the
matter:
Indeed, this is what is
claimed in a recent talk by Mark C. Serreze of the Cooperative Institute for
Research in Environmental Sciences/National Snow and Ice Data Center (CIRES/NSIDC)
at the University of Colorado Boulder (November 10, 2008, titled “The
Emergence of Arctic Amplification”) …
The abstract includes
the statement “As the climate warms, the summer melt season lengthens.”
So, we should be able to discern if the season is
actually lengthening by examining the melt/thaw dates.
Which is precisely what William Chapman, author of
the
Chryosphere Today blog, has done.
Here
is a table showing the melt and thaw
periods with the minimum and maximum ice level dates starting in 1979; you
will note that this year’s maximum was equal to 1981 (at .1943), and the
minimum at .6876 is likewise equal to 1981. So, does that mean we are in a
greenhouse warming cycle reminiscent of 27 years prior?
Actually, the chart shows no discernible pattern
whatsoever, with 1985 representing the high for the maximum and 2005
representing the nadir of the minimum, a close second to 1985. In short,
there is no evidence for an increase in warming — at least not in regards to
when sea ice freezes and melts.

http://www.rwjf.org/pr/type.jsp?catid=11
Mission-Driven: All research and
evaluation grants fit squarely within RWJF’s mission and support our
grantmaking priorities.
Applied Studies: RWJF strives to
produce research and evaluation that both policy-makers and practitioners in
the field will find useful. As a result, virtually all of our research and
evaluation projects are applied initiatives. They’re designed to make
specific contributions to solving health or health care problems related to
the Foundation’s priorities.
Objective and Independent: Too
much of the information that aims to guide health and health care decisions
is advocacy-based or driven from a particular point of view. RWJF is
committed to providing high-quality, objective information. We design
evaluations to build the evidence base around a strategy—not to prove our
ideas work. Related to its commitment to objectivity, RWJF emphasizes the
integrity that flows from the independence of its researchers and
evaluators. The Foundation does not interfere with the research and
evaluations it funds to alter or suppress findings in any way.
Easy to Understand and Widely Shared:
The rigor of our research and evaluation efforts is valuable only if our
findings are easy to understand and widely shared. We commit resources to
ensure that our findings are both understandable and actionable for public
and private decision-makers.
For analysis and perspective about the history and
structure of research and evaluation at RWJF,
read an article by former vice president, Research and Evaluation, James R.
Knickman, Ph.D.

From Purdue University:
Teaching Engineering
In 1983 we developed and taught for
the first time a graduate course, Educational Methods for
Engineers, geared toward Ph.D. candidates who were interested in
an academic career. Our sources came from a variety of
disciplines, journals, and books because we immediately noticed
that no textbook was available which focused solely on
engineering. Classic texts such as Highet’s and McKeachie’s
became starting points and we scoured the literature for what
was available in engineering. With a grant from the National
Science Foundation in 1990 we expanded the course to include all
of engineering, conducted a summer workshop, and began this book
much earlier than we otherwise could have. Although the writing
of this book was supported by NSF, all of the views in this book
are the authors’ and do not represent the views of either the
National Science Foundation or Purdue University.

The Physics Department at Mississippi State
University provides links to physics-related Java and Macromedia Shockwave
Player simulations that have been created around the world. The modules are
sorted into nine categories: measurements, math, mechanics, waves, electricity
and magnetism, thermodynamics, light and optics, modern physics, and astronomy.
The simulations are then further divided into subtopics so that users can easily
locate helpful items. This website offers a great way for students to quickly
obtain materials to assist in their physics studies.

From Purdue University:
Teaching Engineering
In 1983 we developed and taught for
the first time a graduate course, Educational Methods for
Engineers, geared toward Ph.D. candidates who were interested in
an academic career. Our sources came from a variety of
disciplines, journals, and books because we immediately noticed
that no textbook was available which focused solely on
engineering. Classic texts such as Highet’s and McKeachie’s
became starting points and we scoured the literature for what
was available in engineering. With a grant from the National
Science Foundation in 1990 we expanded the course to include all
of engineering, conducted a summer workshop, and began this book
much earlier than we otherwise could have. Although the writing
of this book was supported by NSF, all of the views in this book
are the authors’ and do not represent the views of either the
National Science Foundation or Purdue University.

Bowling Green State University: Resources from the Center for Teaching
and Learning ---
http://www.bgsu.edu/ctl/page10679.html
Technology is changing the way students
learn. Is it changing the way colleges teach?
Not enough, says George Siemens,
associate director of research and development at the University
of Manitoba’s Learning Technologies Centre.
While colleges and universities have
been “fairly aggressive” in adapting their curricula to the
changing world, Mr. Siemens told The Chronicle, “What we
haven’t done very well in the last few decades is altering our
pedagogy.”
To help get colleges thinking about how
they might adapt their teaching styles to the new ways students
absorb and process information, Mr. Siemens and Peter
Tittenberger, director of the center, have created a Web-based
guide, called the
Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning.
Taking their own advice, they have
outfitted the handbook with a wiki function that will allow
readers to contribute their own additions.
In the its introduction, the handbook
declares the old pedagogical model—where the students draw their
information primarily from textbooks, newspapers, and their
professors—dead. “Our learning and information acquisition is a
mash-up,” the authors write. “We take pieces, add pieces,
dialogue, reframe, rethink, connect, and ultimately, we end up
with some type of pattern that symbolizes what’s happening ‘out
there’ and what it means to us.” Students are forced to develop
new ways of making sense of this flood of information fragments.
But Mr. Siemens said that colleges had
been slow to appreciate this fact. “I don’t see a lot of
research coming out on what universities might look like in the
future,” he said. “If how we interact with information and with
each other fundamentally changes, it would suggest that the
institution also needs to change.”
Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning ---
http://ltc.umanitoba.ca/wikis/etl/index.php/Handbook_of_Emerging_Technologies_for_Learning
Preface
This Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning (HETL)
has been designed as a resource for educators planning to
incorporate technologies in their teaching and learning
activities.
Introduction
How is education to fulfill its societal role of clarifying
confusion when tools of control over information creation and
dissemination rest in the hands of learners[3], contributing to
the growing complexity and confusion of information abundance?
Change Pressures and Trends
Global, political, social, technological, and educational
change pressures are disrupting the traditional role (and
possibly design) of universities. Higher education faces a
"re-balancing" in response to growing points of tension along
the following fault lines...
What we know about learning
Over the last century, educator’s understanding of the
process and act of learning has advanced considerably.
Technology, Teaching, and Learning
Technology is concerned with "designing aids and tools to
perfect the mind". As a means of extending the sometimes limited
reach of humanity, technology has been prominent in
communication and learning. Technology has also played a role in
classrooms through the use of movies, recorded video lectures,
and overhead projectors. Emerging technology use is growing in
communication and in creating, sharing, and interacting around
content.
New Communication Technologies ---
http://uwdc.library.wisc.edu/collections/NewComm
Technology Student Association ---
http://www.tsaweb.org/
Media and technology
A transition from epistemology (knowledge) to ontology
(being) suggests media and technology need to be employed to
serve in the development of learners capable of participating in
complex environments.
Change cycles and future patterns
It is not uncommon for theorists and thinkers to declare some
variation of the theme "change is the only constant".
Surprisingly, in an era where change is prominent, change itself
has not been developed as a field of study. Why do systems
change? Why do entire societies move from one governing
philosophy to another? How does change occur within
universities?
New Learners? New Educators? New Skills?
New literacies (based on abundance of information and the
significant changes brought about technology) are needed. Rather
than conceiving literacy as a singular concept, a multi-literacy
view is warranted.
Tools
Each tool possesses multiple affordances. Blogs, for example,
can be used for personal reflection and interaction. Wikis are
well suited for collaborative work and brainstorming. Social
networks tools are effective for the formation of learning and
social networks. Matching affordances of a particular tool with
learning activities is an important design and teaching activity
Research
Evaluating the effectiveness of technology use in teaching
and learning brings to mind Albert Einstein’s statement: "Not
everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that
counts can be counted". When we begin to consider the impact and
effectiveness of technology in the teaching and learning
process, obvious questions arise: "How do we measure
effectiveness? Is it time spent in a classroom? Is it a function
of test scores? Is it about learning? Or understanding?"
Conclusion
Through a process of active experimentation, the academy’s
role in society will emerge as a prominent sensemaking and
knowledge expansion institution, reflecting of the needs of
learners and society while maintaining its role as a
transformative agent in pursuit of humanity’s highest ideals.

Projections of Education Statistics to 2011 ---
http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfor.asp?pubid=2001083
|
Total public and private
elementary and secondary enrollment is projected to increase
from 52.9 million in 1999 to 53.4 million in 2005. Then total
enrollment is projected to decrease to 53.0 million by 2011,
an overall increase of less than 1 percent from 1999 (table
1).
Between 1999 and 2011, public
elementary and secondary enrollment is projected to increase 8
percent in the West, while in the South it will increase 1
percent. In the Northeast and Midwest, enrollment is projected
to decrease 4 and 3 percent, respectively, over the same
period (table
5).
Enrollment in degree-granting
institutions is projected to increase from 14.8 million in
1999 to 17.7 million by 2011, an increase of 20 percent. A 16
percent increase is projected under the low alternative and a
23 percent increase is projected under the high alternative (table
10).
High school graduates from public and private high schools are
projected to increase from 2.8 million in 1998-99 to 3.1
million by 2010-11, an increase of 11 percent. This increase
reflects the projected rise in the 18 year-old population (table
23).
Between 1998-99 and 2010-11, the
number of public high school graduates is projected to
increase 20 percent in the West, while the South will increase
12 percent. The Northeast and the Midwest are projected to
increase 11 and 2 percent, respectively, over the same period
(table
24).
The number of bachelor's degrees is
expected to increase from 1,184,000 in 1997-98 to 1,392,000 by
2010-11, an increase of 18 percent (table
27).
Under the middle alternative, a 34
percent increase in current expenditures for public elementary
and secondary schools is projected for the period from 1998-99
to 2010-11. Under the low alternative, current expenditures
are projected to increase by 29 percent; under the high
alternative, current expenditures are projected to increase by
40 percent (table
33).
Under the middle alternative, current
expenditures per pupil in fall enrollment are forecast to
increase 33 percent in constant dollars from 1998-99 to
2010-11 (table
33).

IPEDS
College Opportunities On-Line is your direct
link to over 9,000 colleges and universities in the
United States. If you are thinking about a large
university, a small liberal arts college, a
specialized college, a community college, a career or
technical college or a trade school, you can find them
all here.
College Opportunities On-Line is brought to you by
the National Center for Education Statistics in the
U.S. Department of Education. NCES was authorized by
Congress in 1998 to help college students, future
students, and their parents understand the differences
between colleges and how much it costs to attend
college.
College Opportunities On-Line helps you find out
about a specific college or set of colleges, if you
have some in mind. You can name the colleges and
obtain information about them.
If you are not sure what colleges might be of
interest,
IPEDS
COOL has the tools to help you search for a
college. You can search for a college based on its
location, program, or degree offerings either alone or
in combination. The more criteria you specify, the
smaller the number of colleges that will fit your
criteria. Once you've found some colleges of interest,
you can obtain important and understandable
information on all of them.
Once you have determined the colleges that meet
your interests, we urge you to obtain more information
about them by visiting their web sites, writing for
more information, or visiting the schools of your
choice.
Warning: An institution's inclusion in IPEDS
COOL does NOT imply approval of the institution or its
programs by the U.S. Department of Education. Title IV
eligible schools (those that participate in awarding
Pell Grants and other federal financial aid) have
recognized accreditation. This is important for
acceptance of transfer credit or degree recognition.

"How Do People Learn," Sloan-C Review, February 2004 ---
http://www.aln.org/publications/view/v3n2/coverv3n2.htm
Like some of the
other well known cognitive and affective taxonomies, the Kolb figure
illustrates a range of interrelated learning activities and styles beneficial
to novices and experts. Designed to emphasize reflection on learners’
experiences, and progressive conceptualization and active experimentation,
this kind of environment is congruent with the aim of lifelong learning. Randy
Garrison points out that:
From a content
perspective, the key is not to inundate students with information. The first
responsibility of the teacher or content expert is to identify the central
idea and have students reflect upon and share their conceptions. Students
need to be hooked on a big idea if learners are to be motivated to be
reflective and self-directed in constructing meaning. Inundating learners
with information is discouraging and is not consistent with higher order
learning . . . Inappropriate assessment and excessive information will
seriously undermine reflection and the effectiveness of asynchronous
learning.
Reflection on a big
question is amplified when it enters collaborative inquiry, as multiple styles
and approaches interact to respond to the challenge and create solutions. In
How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School, John Bransford and
colleagues describe a legacy cycle for collaborative inquiry, depicted in a
figure by Vanderbilt University researchers (see image, lower left).

Online University Consortium Releases Learner
Assessment Tool
A network of universities founded to help
companies and employees secure a quality online education, announced a
Web-based assessment tool for prospective students considering online
degree programs. The Online Learner Assessment, unveiled by the Online
University Consortium, helps students determine their aptitude for
online education in order to choose the best source for their individual
learning style. The tool helps Online UC to match learners with
qualified degree programs.
"The tool helps learners avoid costly
mistakes by making the best education choice for their individual
needs," said Greg Eisenbarth, Online UC's executive director.
"This allows targeted development and enhances ROI for corporations
funding employee training."

FREE
ONLINE ASSESSMENT TOOL
Bruce
Ravelli, an instructor of sociology at Mount Royal College, Calgary,
Canada, has developed a student assessment tool known as the Free
Assessment Summary Tool, or FAST. FAST "allows students to
anonymously submit feedback about their course and/or instructor.
The data goes directly and only to individual teachers. It allows
instructors to open an active, ongoing dialogue with their students
about the course, content, instruction and the learning
process." Rather than relegating evaluations to the end of the
semester, instructors can use the tool to get and apply student
feedback throughout the course term. The tool lets instructors build
their surveys on the Web; results are returned in Excel format for
ease of data manipulation and tabulation. For more information about
FAST and to use the tool, see
http://www.getfast.ca/
Passage from
http://www.getfast.ca/
Seeing
Student Assessment in a Brand New Light
Traditionally,
teaching assessments are conducted at the end of a course - a
practice precluding students from offering constructive feedback
while they are still in the course. However, conducting
instructor-designed and administered web-based course assessments
opens a proactive dialogue with students about teaching, the course,
and the entire learning process.
The FAST
project is committed to providing users with a simple online tool
for assessing their students' impressions of their courses and their
teaching. Using the software does not cost anything so if this is
your first visit, become a user and see if FAST would be useful for
you and your students. Also, you may want to read the
FAQ's
and the
User
Tips to provide you with an overview of the functionality of the
software.
If you have
any questions or comments about FAST, please enter them in the
discussion board or send either of us a note -

provides guest access to some of his great ethics course materials at
http://www.phil.cmu.edu/faculty/cavalier/home/online.html
Robert Cavalier has an
article entitled "Cases, Narratives, and Interactive
Multimedia," in Syllabus, May 2000. pp. 20-22 ---
http://www.syllabus.com/
The purpose of
our evaluation of A Right to Die? The Case of Dax Cowart
was to see if learning outcomes for case studies could be enhanced with
the use of interactive multimedia. My Introduction to Ethics class
was divided into three groups: Text, Film, and CD-ROM. Equal
distribution was achieved by using student scores on previous exams plus
their Verbal SAT scores.
Two
graders were trained and achieved more than 90 percent in grader
variabilility. The results of the students' performance were put
through statistical analysis and the null hypothesis was rejected for
the CD/Film and CD/Text groups. Significant
statistical difference was demonstrated in favor of interactive
multimedia.

Notable Annual Milestones:
2007:
Serendip's new materials are now created in a Content
Management System (CMS), Drupal, which extends Serendip's
interactivity and functionality in significant ways. Almost all
pages may be appended with comments from any visitor from the
web, and Serendip automatically analyzes its own content and
generates related links to relevant material.
Serendip publishes an expanded
collection of
hands-on activities for teaching biology to middle school or
high school students, a project of Dr. Ingrid Waldron,
faculty member in the Biology Department of the University of
Pennsylvania, and her colleagues. There are now 23 interactive
activities, and its home page averages 400 visitors/day. The
most popular downloads are currently Is Yeast Alive and
Mitosis and Meiosis. The collection is the first search
result in Google for the terms, teaching biology.
Serendip offers blog technology
to K-12 teachers attending
summer institutes.
Serendip hosts the first
Bryn Mawr College undergraduate course to welcome alumnae
into online discussion with current students.
2006: Serendip
surpasses 3 million unique visitors in 2006.
Serendip becomes yet more
expansive in its outreach, publishing articles by and
conversations with scholars in
art history,
psychoanalysis,
philosophy of science,
writing,
geology and philosophy, among others. Interacting with and
publishing Serendip
readers' stories grows, and storytelling across the
humanities and sciences, as well as storytelling as a biological
process is a major focus.
Getting it Less Wrong evolves, and is quoted in the
New
York Times, among other places on the web.
Serendip continues to develop
partnerships with two arts organizations, the
Wilma Theater in Philadelphia and the
Bryn Mawr Film Institute. Among several Wilma productions,
Serendip offers an online forum for Brecht's The Life of
Galileo, and Paul Grobstein is a panelist in a Wilma
discussion series centered around the play.
2005: Serendip
partners with Alice Lesnick (Education) at Bryn Mawr College to
publish an online book developed in an undergraduate Education
course,
Empowering Learners: A Handbook for the Theory and Practice of
Extra-Classroom Teaching.
A sampling of
university courses around the world which use Serendip materials
is compiled.
Serendip surpasses 2 million
unique visitors in 2005.
2004: Serendip
hosts
The Story of Evolution and the Evolution of Stories: Exploring
the Significance of Diversity, an undergraduate course
taught by Anne Dalke (English) and Paul Grobstein (Biology) at
Bryn Mawr College, the first undergraduate course that we are
aware of that could be taken for English or Biology credit.
Serendip publishes
Writing Descartes: I Am, and I Can Think, Therefore ... , an
essay by Paul Grobstein and an ongoing experiment in story
sharing and story evolution among many colleagues.
Serendip surpasses 1 million
unique visitors in 2004.
2003:
Serendip's Home Page changes to suggest different ways to
navigate through Serendip's more than 10,000 pages in a
non-hierarchical fashion.

departments, and higher administration, all of whom share a
commitment to student writers and writing in disciplines.
Central to our

http://www.rwjf.org/pr/type.jsp?catid=11
Mission-Driven: All
research and evaluation grants fit squarely within RWJF’s mission
and support our grantmaking priorities.
Applied Studies: RWJF
strives to produce research and evaluation that both policy-makers
and practitioners in the field will find useful. As a result,
virtually all of our research and evaluation projects are applied
initiatives. They’re designed to make specific contributions to
solving health or health care problems related to the Foundation’s
priorities.
Objective and Independent:
Too much of the information that aims to guide health and health
care decisions is advocacy-based or driven from a particular point
of view. RWJF is committed to providing high-quality, objective
information. We design evaluations to build the evidence base around
a strategy—not to prove our ideas work. Related to its commitment to
objectivity, RWJF emphasizes the integrity that flows from the
independence of its researchers and evaluators. The Foundation does
not interfere with the research and evaluations it funds to alter or
suppress findings in any way.
Easy to Understand and Widely
Shared: The rigor of our research and evaluation efforts is
valuable only if our findings are easy to understand and widely
shared. We commit resources to ensure that our findings are both
understandable and actionable for public and private
decision-makers.
For analysis and perspective about the
history and structure of research and evaluation at RWJF,

certainly not a place that you will soon forget. This website is
designed to make sure longtime residents and visitors alike will not
forget this tranquil state, as it brings together a very wide range of
historical documents and memories from around the state. The site itself
was created by the Maine Historical Society, and is supported by monies
from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and several other
partners. Within the site, visitors can search for historical items and
documents, view thematic online exhibits, and learn about how the site
may be used effectively in classroom settings. One particularly fine
exhibit is the one that offers some visual documentation of rural
Aroostook County around the year 1900. In this exhibit, visitors can
experience the dense forests and rugged terrain that dominate the
landscape of this part of Maine.

Hi Dr. Jensen,
We haven't met, but I'd like to introduce
myself. My name is Kristin Oliver, and I am a counselor at Trinity's
Counseling Services. I'm in the process of putting together a list of
websites on a variety of psycho-social topics, and thought I'd pass one
of the sites along to you! The site is a racism slideshow put out by the
American Psychological Association. I used it as a required reading when
I was teaching at the University of Hawaii last year, and my students
loved it... I think it should be required reading for everyone! It's
well-done and easy to navigate (the "next" button is in the
upper right corner).

A+ Country Reports
http://www.countryreports.org/
A fantastic resource for students, teachers,
tourists, and anyone else interested in the globe, A+ Country Reports
offers a wealth of information on all of the countries of the world.
Like the CIA's World Factbook (last mentioned in the September 28, 2001
_Scout Report_ ), A+ Country Reports presents up-to-date information on
population, geography, economy, history, and politics. Aside from that,
however, the site presents a lively array of extras that don't figure in
the CIA's matter of fact dossiers, things such as audio clips of
national anthems and links to current weather reports. As the site
itself boasts, through a list of quotes from current reviews, A+ Country
Reports is particularly appealing to teachers and younger students, and
it's obvious why it's appealing, given its attention to the kinds of
details kids demand -- bright graphics, large fonts, and Flash-automated
features among them. For those interested in sharing what they have
learned or already know, there is also a discussion area and links to
sites for further study.
FindTutorials
http://www.findtutorials.com/
FindTutorials offers hundreds of tutorials and
professional online IT and Softskills training courses that are

offers an online e-mail system, an IT job database with thousands of
daily updated positions, and a host of additional resources on internet

Commentary from Yahoo
Lingua Franca, the rag of choice for academic
types, presents this collection of seminal books that have "defined
a particular area of thought." The creme de la creme, the top guns,
the grande fromages -- these are the books that rule the schools. From
Suburbia to Cognitive Science, the Welfare State to Neglected Fiction,
these are the books that the brainiacs worship. And to shamelessly jump
on the PBS bandwagon, you'll also find some great books on Jazz.

ERIC
CLEARINGHOUSES CLOSE
After over
thirty years of service, the U.S. Department of Education's ERIC
Clearinghouses, and the AskERIC service, permanently closed at the end
of December 2003. ERIC is a national information system funded by the
U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences to
provide access to education literature and resources. The
Clearinghouses, stationed at various educational institutions, provided
documents and reference services on educational topics ranging from
Elementary and Early Childhood Education to Urban and Minority Education
to Adult, Career, and Vocational Education.
The new ERIC
uses one URL (http://www.eric.ed.gov)
to:
-- search the
ERIC database,
-- access the
ERIC Calendar of Education-Related Conferences,
-- link to the
ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS) to
purchase ERIC
full-text documents, and
-- link to the
ERIC Processing and Reference Facility to
purchase ERIC
tapes and tools.

Some of the more interesting ones that attracted my attention are as
follows:
Simply put, a learning strategy is an
individual's approach to complete a task. More specifically, a
learning strategy is an individual's way of organizing and using a
particular set of skills in order to learn content or accomplish other
tasks more effectively and efficiently in school as well as in
nonacademic settings (Schumaker & Deshler, 1992). Therefore,
teachers who teach learning strategies teach students how to learn,
rather than teaching them specific curriculum content or specific
skills
In the colonial colleges, the faculty was
responsible for the intellectual, social, and spiritual development of
students. As faculty found less time to focus on the social and
personal development of their students, student affairs professionals
emerged to fulfill that need. Increasingly throughout the history of
American higher education, the gap between the roles of faculty and
student affairs professionals has widened (Bloland et al, 1994, 1996).
The incorrect perceptions and lack of knowledge about each other's
jobs, the alienating and confusing jargon, the increased
specialization and the financial competition between these two groups
has led to misunderstandings between faculty and student affairs
professionals (Knefelkamp, 1991; Kuh et al, 1994; Love & Love,
1995). The need for integration of these roles, and an attempt to
change the culture of learning from separatist to seamless, has been a
recent focus of higher education administrators.
There are many other abstracts. The above listing is a sampling
from a much longer set of abstracts.
Every now an then I stumble on a very helpful website with many links.

In this age of expanding distance
education and training, colleges and universities should look toward partnering
within communities. Significant funding is available.
Office of University Partnerships (OUP) ---
http://www.oup.org/
A powerful
force for community revitalization is gaining momentum across the
country: university-community partnerships. In growing numbers,
institutions of higher education are collaborating with community groups
to apply research, scholarship, and service to real-life problems. They
are integrating such partnerships into their curriculum, academic
studies, and student activities, making them part of their ongoing
mission. America's institutions of higher education have more
intellectual talent than any other institutions in our society, and many
of them are using these partnerships to tackle the complex socioeconomic
issues facing the neighborhoods that surround them, such as poverty,
joblessness, crime, and homelessness.
Recognizing the
crucial role that America's institutions of higher education can play in
rebuilding communities large and small, HUD established the Office of
University Partnerships (OUP) in 1994 to encourage and expand the
efforts of institutions of higher education that are striving to make a
difference in their communities through funding opportunities. Whether
the institution has a venerable history of reaching out to lower income
neighborhoods or is just beginning to explore the potential of such
partnerships, OUP can help increase the scope, effectiveness, and
sustainability of its community-building efforts

IBM's Innov8 Learning Game
November 14, 2007 message from David Albrecht
[albrecht@PROFALBRECHT.COM]
Interesting article that starts:
Brandeis IBS Gets Serious About Games
11/12/2007
By David Kopf IBM is working with Brandeis
International Business School (IBS) to test "serious games," video
games designed to help students build combined business and IT
skills often required in today's work environments.
The video and computer games are gaining
traction in the enterprise and educational arenas as a means to
teach new skills to a generation of young adults raised on video
games. According to marketing consultancy The Apply Group, between
100 and 135 of the Global Fortune 500 will use gaming for
instructional applications by 2012.
Brandeis will pilot a new serious game from
IBM called Innov8, which is geared to teach young MBA and IT
students and professionals how to compete in business, bridge gaps
between business and IT teams. The interactive, 3-D game has the
look and feel of a video game, but corresponds with non game events
such as business operations.
The school will test Innov8 in its
"Technology Strategy" course, which covers strategies for creating
technology-based businesses. Students will use Innov8 to understand
business processes in technology firms and how to manage knowledge
across complex, global companies.
"Developing a blend of IT and business
skills is critical for our students as they assume leadership roles
at companies and institutions around the world," said Bruce Magid,
dean of Brandeis IBS, in a prepared statement.

Many universities do not have adequate support facilities for training faculty in new

George Culp from the University of Texas at Austin provides some helpful guides for
"Establishing a Center for Instructional Technologies" as reported in in pp.
34-36 in the June 1999 edition of Syllabus (the online version is not yet online, but it
will soon be posted to http://www.syllabus.com/
). The article also discusses innovative ways of funding such a center.

the questions addressed by personality theory and research.
This website
deals with
scientific
research programs in personality psychology. They are offered as
candidates for the title "great ideas"; whether they are
indeed great remains an open question.

Creative Computers Replacing Writers and Composers
And the frightening thing about this is that what might be
"cheating" becomes possible with zero chance of being caught for
plagiarism of things stories and songs written by Hal.
"30 Clients Using Computer-Generated Stories Instead of
Writers," by Jason Boog, Media Bistro, February 17, 2012
---
http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/forbes-among-30-clients-using-computer-generated-stories-instead-of-writers_b47243
Forbes has joined
a group of 30 clients using
Narrative Science software to write computer-generated
stories.
Here’s more about the program,
used in one corner of
Forbes‘ website:
“Narrative Science has developed a
technology solution that creates rich narrative content from
data. Narratives are seamlessly created from structured data
sources and can be fully customized to fit a customer’s
voice, style and tone. Stories are created in multiple
formats, including long form stories, headlines, Tweets and
industry reports with graphical visualizations.”
The New York Times
revealed
last year that trade publisher
Hanley Wood
and sports journalism
site
The Big Ten Network also use the
tool. In all, 30 clients use the software–but Narrative
Science did not disclose the complete client list.
What
do you think? The
Narrative Science
technology could
potentially impact many corners of the writing trade. The
company has a long list of stories they can computerize:
sports stories, financial reports, real estate analyses,
local community content, polling & elections, advertising
campaign summaries sales & operations reports and market
research.
Here’s an excerpt from
a
Forbes earnings preview story about Barnes &
Noble, written by the computer
program:
While company shares have
dropped 17.2% over the last three months to close at
$13.72 on February 15, 2012,
Barnes & Noble
(BKS)
is hoping it can break the slide with solid third
quarter results when it releases its earnings on
Tuesday, February 21, 2012.
What to Expect: The Wall Street
consensus is $1.01 per share, up 1% from a year ago when
Barnes & Noble reported earnings of $1 per share.
The consensus estimate is down
from three months ago when it was $1.42, but is
unchanged over the past month. Analysts are projecting a
loss of $1.09 per share for the fiscal year.
The company originated with two
electrical engineering and computer science professors at
Northwestern University.
Here’s more about the company:
“[It began with] a software program that automatically
generates sports stories using commonly available
information such as box scores and play-by-plays. The
program was the result of a collaboration between McCormick
and Medill School of Journalism.
To create the software,
Hammond and Birnbaum and students working in McCormick’s
Intelligent Information Lab
created algorithms that use statistics from a game to write
text that captures the overall dynamic of the game and
highlights the key plays and players. Along with the text is
an appropriate headline and a photo of what the program
deems as the most important player in the game.”
Many of you probably never even heard of the popular "I've Got a Secret" ---
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ve_Got_a_Secret
More of you have probably read about artificial intelligence expert Ray Kurzweil
(an expert on computer music composition)

Projections of
Education Statistics to 2011 ---
http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfor.asp?pubid=2001083
|
Total
public and private elementary and secondary enrollment is
projected to increase from 52.9 million in 1999 to 53.4 million
in 2005. Then total enrollment is projected to decrease to 53.0
million by 2011, an overall increase of less than 1 percent from
1999 (table
1).
Between
1999 and 2011, public elementary and secondary enrollment is
projected to increase 8 percent in the West, while in the South
it will increase 1 percent. In the Northeast and Midwest,
enrollment is projected to decrease 4 and 3 percent,
respectively, over the same period (table
5).
Enrollment
in degree-granting institutions is projected to increase from
14.8 million in 1999 to 17.7 million by 2011, an increase of 20
percent. A 16 percent increase is projected under the low
alternative and a 23 percent increase is projected under the
high alternative (table
10).
High school graduates from public and private high schools are
projected to increase from 2.8 million in 1998-99 to 3.1 million
by 2010-11, an increase of 11 percent. This increase reflects
the projected rise in the 18 year-old population (table
23).
Between
1998-99 and 2010-11, the number of public high school graduates
is projected to increase 20 percent in the West, while the South
will increase 12 percent. The Northeast and the Midwest are
projected to increase 11 and 2 percent, respectively, over the
same period (table
24).
The
number of bachelor's degrees is expected to increase from
1,184,000 in 1997-98 to 1,392,000 by 2010-11, an increase of 18
percent (table
27).
Under
the middle alternative, a 34 percent increase in current
expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools is
projected for the period from 1998-99 to 2010-11. Under the low
alternative, current expenditures are projected to increase by
29 percent; under the high alternative, current expenditures are
projected to increase by 40 percent (table
33).
Under
the middle alternative, current expenditures per pupil in fall
enrollment are forecast to increase 33 percent in constant
dollars from 1998-99 to 2010-11 (table
33).

The Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS ---
http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/
|
Features
IPEDS
Web-Based Data Collection allows institutions to provide
NCES with the required statistical data, replacing the paper
survey forms that have been used in past years.
IPEDS
Peer Analysis System and
Self-guided
Tutorials enables a user to easily compare a LinchPin
institution of the user’s choosing to a group of peer
institutions, by generating reports using selected IPEDS
variables of interest.
IPEDS
College Opportunities On-line (COOL) presents data on
institution prices, financial aid, enrollment, and type of
programs that are offered by the institution. IPEDS COOL is
designed to help college students, future students, and their
parents understand the differences between colleges and how much
it costs to attend college. |
College
Opportunities Online ---
http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cool/
|
IPEDS
College Opportunities On-Line is your direct
link to over 9,000 colleges and universities in the
United States. If you are thinking about a large
university, a small liberal arts college, a specialized
college, a community college, a career or technical
college or a trade school, you can find them all here.
College
Opportunities On-Line is brought to you by the National
Center for Education Statistics in the U.S. Department
of Education. NCES was authorized by Congress in 1998 to
help college students, future students, and their
parents understand the differences between colleges and
how much it costs to attend college.
College
Opportunities On-Line helps you find out about a
specific college or set of colleges, if you have some in
mind. You can name the colleges and obtain information
about them.
If you are not
sure what colleges might be of interest,
IPEDS
COOL has the tools to help you search for a
college. You can search for a college based on its
location, program, or degree offerings either alone or
in combination. The more criteria you specify, the
smaller the number of colleges that will fit your
criteria. Once you've found some colleges of interest,
you can obtain important and understandable information
on all of them.
Once you have
determined the colleges that meet your interests, we
urge you to obtain more information about them by
visiting their web sites, writing for more information,
or visiting the schools of your choice.
Warning: An
institution's inclusion in IPEDS COOL does NOT imply
approval of the institution or its programs by the U.S.
Department of Education. Title IV eligible schools
(those that participate in awarding Pell Grants and
other federal financial aid) have recognized
accreditation. This is important for acceptance of
transfer credit or degree recognition.

Suggestions for Forming and Maintaining an Educational Technology Support
Facility
Many universities do not have adequate support facilities for training faculty in new
technologies and technical support teams for course adaptations to new technologies.
George Culp from the University of Texas at Austin provides some helpful guides for
"Establishing a Center for Instructional Technologies" as reported in in pp.
34-36 in the June 1999 edition of Syllabus (the online version is not yet online, but it
will soon be posted to http://www.syllabus.com/
). The article also discusses innovative ways of funding such a center.

"The Military Is Working On A Tablet That Can Translate In Real-Time,"
by Richard Sisk, Business Insider, May 23, 2014 ---
http://www.businessinsider.com/military-tablet-translate-2014-5
Jensen Comment
A problem with language translation arises when documents or speech to be
translated are very technical. For example, a German-to-English translator
for the United Nations may be hapless when it comes to translating business
and legal contracts. My wife and I ran into this when she recently inherited
a small amount of money from a German relative's estate. She could not
translate the documents sent to us by a German law firm. We took it down the
road to a friend who used to translate German and Russian for the United
Nations. He could not translate our legal document. We eventually drove down
to the German Consulate in Boston who translated the documents for us
because they deal in such inheritances all the time.
Another drawback is differences in languages over time and dialects. I
once had a Russian course that was totally devoted to reading Pushkin in the
original Russian language. That course did little, if anything, in helping
me read current Russian newspapers like Pravda.
The advantage of a Tablet translating machine is that it can, in theory
at least, be programmed for increasingly technical translations in various
disciplines such as business, law, chemistry, physics, etc.

https://www.memrise.com
Are you looking to learn a new language, or to
brush up your skills on a language you are studying? If so, Memrise
offers online learning opportunities that may be of interest. Memrise
offers courses in numerous languages, including Spanish, Japanese,
Chinese, Russian, and American Sign Language. The team behind Memrise
designed these courses to center on elaborate encoding, a strategy that
places new words in a context that may remind language learners of
similar words in their native language. (For example, "aburrido," the
Spanish word for "bored," is presented to English language speakers in
the sentence, "It is boring to eat a burrito everyday.") While most
courses center on language (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other
Languages, take note: the site includes a course on common words on the
TOEFL exam), Memrise also includes a few courses on other topics. To
access these courses, users must first create a free account. Memrise is
also available as an iOS or Android application. Some features are only
available with the premium version.

Duolingo ---
https://www.duolingo.com
Duolingo is a mobile app designed to help
people learn and practice a new language. Users can select any one of 36
languages and practice reading, listening, and speaking this language.
The app works by introducing users to new vocabulary and grammar rules
through a series of short levels. The goal? Users will learn by seeing
words and grammar modeled. Next, users can try their hand at
interpreting written and spoken sentences and then speaking them out
loud, allowing for pronunciation practice. When users are able to
successfully complete these tasks they move onto higher levels with new
vocabulary. Duolingo is designed to be of use to individuals brand new
to a language as well those looking to brush up an already familiar one,
as users can chose to test out of levels. Best of all, Duolingo is free.
Users can also "compete" against friends using the app if they wish,
providing additional motivation and accountability.

"Translation Apps and Traveling Abroad," by Anastasia Salter,
Chronicle of Higher Education, September 30, 2013 ---
http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/translation-apps-and-traveling-abroad/52643?cid=wc&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en
During my last week of being
mostly disconnected at a conference
in France,
I ran into one big challenge: my knowledge of French is limited, and
usually involves dictionary-heavy translation of text, not everyday
conversation or quickly reading for comprehension and navigation. I
relied heavily on phrases picked up from travel guides before my trip.
Most street signs were immediately comprehensible: other documents, like
menus, descriptions on products at the pharmacy, or signs on art, took
much more work.
Throughout the trip, I found myself wishing for
better technical solutions to the problem of translation. I started
relying on a few apps to make the daily information processing easier.
- Word Lens. The visual
translation app Word Lens, available on
Android and
iOS, is beautiful. It works by taking a
picture and attempting to translate the words directly at they
appear, which can lead to some very strange interpretations but
often is enough to get the gist. It works as well on signs as
conference paper titles in printed programs–of course, it may have
trouble with discipline-specific terms. It can even translate
powerpoint signs if they’re close and clear enough and the font
isn’t too small.
- Google Translate. There
are several rival apps for translation, but Google’s (web,
iOS,
Android)
works well for already-digital
texts or quickly typed in work and ultimately is the most powerful
solution I’ve seen. It requires an active Internet connection, so it
isn’t so great on the go, and it can be tedious to type in long
phrases on a smartphone for translation. This works best when the
specifics really matter.
- A Pocket Phrasebook.
Those of you traveling without tech might rely on some old-fashioned
solutions: a phrasebook and a dictionary, whether downloaded or
paper, may not be as fast as Google or a translation app, but it’s
often organized with attention to terms a traveler needs to
reference quickly.

(each for a fee) in-app.

http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/coursera-seeks-to-create-a-global-translator-community/52129?cid=at&utm_source=at&utm_medium=en
Last year Coursera announced
partnerships
with international organizations
to expand the number of its massive open online courses available in
foreign languages. Now the for-profit MOOC provider is going a step
further by establishing a
Global Translator Community
in which
individuals will volunteer to help translate lectures.
Coursera says it hopes not only to “make more
content more available in more languages” but also to create a
close-knit community of translators who will be recognized for their
work, according to a
news release.
Volunteers will help with
subtitle translations for the lectures.
The company now offers courses with subtitle
translations in 13 foreign languages, with Chinese, French, and Spanish
among the most popular. The company says only 40 percent of the people
who take its courses live in English-speaking countries.

What is WordNet?
http://www.certifiedchinesetranslation.com/WordNet/
WordNet® is a large lexical database of
English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of
cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept.
Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical
relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and
concepts can be navigated with the
browser.
WordNet is also freely and publicly
available for
download.
WordNet's structure makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics
and natural language processing.
WordNet superficially resembles a thesaurus, in
that it groups words together based on their meanings. However, there
are some important distinctions. First, WordNet interlinks not just word
forms—strings of letters—but specific senses of words. As a result,
words that are found in close proximity to one another in the network
are semantically disambiguated. Second, WordNet labels the semantic
relations among words, whereas the groupings of words in a thesaurus
does not follow any explicit pattern other than meaning similarity.
Structure
The main relation among words in WordNet is
synonymy, as between the words shut and close or car and automobile.
Synonyms--words that denote the same concept and are interchangeable in
many contexts--are grouped into unordered sets (synsets). Each of
WordNet’s 117 000 synsets is linked to other synsets by means of a small
number of “conceptual relations.” Additionally, a synset contains a
brief definition (“gloss”) and, in most cases, one or more short
sentences illustrating the use of the synset members. Word forms with
several distinct meanings are represented in as many distinct synsets.
Thus, each form-meaning pair in WordNet is unique.
Relations
The most frequently encoded relation among
synsets is the super-subordinate relation (also called hyperonymy,
hyponymy or ISA relation). It links more general synsets like
{furniture, piece_of_furniture} to increasingly specific ones like {bed}
and {bunkbed}. Thus, WordNet states that the category furniture includes
bed, which in turn includes bunkbed; conversely, concepts like bed and
bunkbed make up the category furniture. All noun hierarchies ultimately
go up the root node {entity}. Hyponymy relation is transitive: if an
armchair is a kind of chair, and if a chair is a kind of furniture, then
an armchair is a kind of furniture. WordNet distinguishes among Types
(common nouns) and Instances (specific persons, countries and geographic
entities). Thus, armchair is a type of chair, Barack Obama is an
instance of a president. Instances are always leaf (terminal) nodes in
their hierarchies.
Meronymy, the part-whole relation holds between
synsets like {chair} and {back, backrest}, {seat} and {leg}. Parts are
inherited from their superordinates: if a chair has legs, then an
armchair has legs as well. Parts are not inherited “upward” as they may
be characteristic only of specific kinds of things rather than the class
as a whole: chairs and kinds of chairs have legs, but not all kinds of
furniture have legs.

February 7, 2012 message from Fabiola Esposito (Madrid University)
My name is Fabiola
Esposito and I am writing to you on behalf of the Spanish School of the
University of Madrid .
I
have found your website (http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/Crossborder.htm)
while looking for web pages for the promotion of
languages and culture and have seen your reviews on different topics
which I found very interesting, specially the one that speaks about the
combination of synchronous and asynchronous methods when teaching and
how close one can get to the students online.
Anyhow, the aim of this
email is that on the University of Madrid Spanish School we have
recently finished developing our new website for offering our Spanish
courses to everyone who want to come to Madrid to study the Spanish
language and immerse into the Spanish culture. We also offer classes
focused on Spanish literature and culture; and we offer specialized
courses in Spanish on different academic areas such as arts, history,
business and politics too.
I have reviewed with
much interest your section about cross-border training and educational
alternatives and would like to know if you are interested in offering
our website to your visitors in case they may be interested in spending
a period learning or improving their Spanish skills abroad. It may be
interesting either for the student community as for the educators'
community, given that we also offer courses for proficient users who
want to improve or review their knowledge on Hispanic studies and
everything related to them; language, culture, sociology, literature,
etc.
Our Madrid University
Spanish School website is
www.madrid-university.es, if you think this
might be a useful resource for your users you can contact me or feel
free to place it between your resources.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration, and if you have
any comments or questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Community College Open-Textbook Project Gets Under Way
Especially note the open sharing sources being used
The Community College Open Textbook Project begins this week with a
member meeting in California," by Catherine Rampell, Chronicle of
Higher Education, April 29, 2008 ---
Click Here
At the meeting, representatives of institutions around the country
will start reviewing open-textbook models for “quality, usability,
accessibility, and sustainability,” according to a news release. They
will initially review four providers of free online educational
resources: Connexions, run by Rice University;
Flat World Knowledge, a commercial digital-textbook publisher that
will begin
offering free textbooks online next year; the University of
California’s UC
College Prep Online, which offers Advanced Placement and other
courses online; and the
Community
College Consortium for Open Educational Resources, which was founded
by the Foothill-De Anza Community College District and the League for
Innovation in the Community College.
The open-textbook project was paid for by a $530,000 grant to the
Foothill-De Anza Community College District from the William and Flora
Hewlett Foundation.

MIT's Video Lecture Search
Engine: Watch the video at ---
http://web.sls.csail.mit.edu/lectures/
Researchers at MIT have released a video and audio search tool that solves one
of the most challenging problems in the field: how to break up a lengthy
academic lecture into manageable chunks, pinpoint the location of keywords, and
direct the user to them. Announced last month, the MIT
Lecture Browser website gives the general public
detailed access to more than 200 lectures publicly available though the
university's
OpenCourseWare
initiative. The search engine
leverages decades' worth of speech-recognition research at MIT and other
institutions to
convert
audio
into text and make it searchable.

Dear Mr. Jensen,
First and
foremost, I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate you for your
excellent listings of resources.
My name is Silvio
Branco and I am a Content Editor at Babylon Ltd., a translation software
company.
Babylon launched a free Business Terms
Lookup
that comprises more than 10 dictionaries,
among others, such well known titles as
Campbell R. Harvey's Hypertextual Finance
Glossary, MONASH Marketing Dictionary, and the
European Central Bank Glossary, and
which I thought could
contribute to your already detailed references.
The following is the link to it:
http://www.babylon.com/define/22/Business-Dictionary.html
I hope you like both of our free
services and I would appreciate if you could mention them on your site by
including the respective links.
With best regards,
Silvio Branco

Hello Professor Robert E. Jensen,
I was browsing your website which I found extremely
useful; with plenty of French resources.
I would suggest to you a lyrics website:
http://www.greatsong.net/
to be added to
your list "Scroll for Bob Jensen's Web Documents and Other Links" at
http://faculty.trinity.edu/rjensen/
or at any
page of your website, you think it might be useful.
http://www.greatsong.net
is a wonderful
website that may help learn French language, contains more than 2 million
songs, Lyrics of more than 500.000 French songs both old and contemporary,
50,000 translations (English / French) and it is one of the most popular and
visited websites in this area of interest.
I hope that this site will held your attention, and
be beneficial and helpful to your students and visitors.

"Colleges Offer Online Help on Copyright Law for Instructors," by Marc Beja,
Chronicle of Higher Education, June 24, 2009 ---
http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=3846&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en
As instructors prepare for the fall semester,
colleges are trying to make sure their teachers aren’t breaking any
copyright laws in their lectures.
The City University of New York’s Baruch College
recently released
an interactive
guide to using multimedia in courses.
Baruch’s online guide begins with background
information on copyrighted material, presented by a computer-animated
middle-age man. Instructors can then click through the system’s “Copyright
Metro,” which gives step-by-step verbal and written instructions on
determining what materials can be used in courses legally. There are three
“metro lines” that can be taken, depending on if the instructor plans to use
the material in class or online, or if they have copyright-holder permission
to use the material – which gets you a ride on the “express train” to the
final stop, which says you can use the material.
Baruch is not alone in trying to prevent legal
problems for itself or its professors. Among other institutions,
Reed College
has a traditional Web page that offers advice
about using materials, with links to information from other college Web
sites. The
University of Maryland University College also has
a site that has information for students and professors who want to legally
use copyrighted material in classes and on the Internet.

"Last Round of Filings Made in Georgia State U. Fair-Use Lawsuit,"
Chronicle of Higher Education, August 4, 2011 ---
http://chronicle.com/blogs/ticker/last-round-of-filings-made-in-georgia-state-u-fair-use-lawsuit/35088?sid=wc&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en
The plaintiffs and the defendants in the fair-use
lawsuit that has pitted three academic publishers against Georgia State
University have now filed their final
post-trial briefs.
That was the last opportunity
for each side to make its case before the federal judge overseeing the case
in Atlanta delivers a ruling. No date has been set for a decision in the
closely watched case, but observers say one is
likely by early fall. Cambridge U. Press, Oxford U. Press, and SAGE
Publications have alleged that the use of copyrighted material in e-reserves
and on faculty Web sites has exceeded the bounds of fair use. (See
here for different
opinions on what’s at stake for higher education.)

An Award Winning Copyright Website
--- http://www.benedict.com/
Includes MP3 Audio, MPEG Video, an online service for obtaining a copyright
for your Website materials, and advice for copyrights of software.
This portal
provides real world, practical and relevant copyright information for
anyone navigating the net. Launched on May Day '95, the Copyright Website
strives to lubricate the machinations of information delivery. As spice is
to Dune, information is to the Web; the spice must flow. Or, if you prefer
another metaphor, take the blue pill and I'll show you just how deep the
rabbit hole goes...
Drafting a Faculty Copyright Ownership Policy
http://ts.mivu.org/default.asp?show=article&id=982
Many colleges and universities are either considering
ways to revise their existing copyright policies or drafting new policies. A
copyright policy encompasses both the use of copyrighted works owned by third
parties and the ownership of works generated by faculty, staff and students
within an institution. The purpose of an ownership policy should be to encourage
research, scholarship and the dissemination of knowledge; thus, the ownership
model the school adopts should further this purpose.
I got up earlier than Bob Jensen so you get this
email from me instead of the other Bob.
The Web site below is very interesting on several
levels.
http://www.CampusTours.com/
The site allows one to see a photo album of 800
college campuses.
From time to time I have the opportunity of going
to a campus that I have not visited before. This web site allows the
chance to "see" the campus before going.
It also shows what some schools are doing to
"show off" their institution.
The campus tours site also lists those schools
that have web cams, campus maps, videos, and VR tours. Trinity was one of
the first to have a VR tour.
Give it a quick look if you like to see what the
other guys are doing and look like.

The Berkeley plagiarism-detection program ---
Go
to
http://www.plagiarism.org/ Also
see
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9911/21/plagerism.detective/index.html
Proven
Results. Our proprietary plagiarism detection algorithms* have successfully been
used in multiple classes at U.C. Berkeley and abroad.
Powerful
Methods. Our computational processes for 'finger-printing' papers and
determining degrees of originality will detect plagiarism.
Speed.
We can 'finger-print' and evaluate thousands of papers each day.
Extensive
Database. Our extensive and growing database of term papers will deter your
students from plagiarizing other work.
Easy
To Use. We make every effort to customize the service's web page so that our
plagiarism deterring technology is a non-technical seamless addition to your
classes.
Increases
Quality. Instructors report that the quality of their students' work increases
when they know that manuscripts will be checked for originality.
Increases
Student Morale. Students themselves report that unchecked cheating and
plagiarism by others undermines their own efforts and educational enthusiasm.
The
purpose of this service is to insure that term papers, essays, and manuscripts,
which are submitted as a requirement for a university or college course, are
never plagiarized. This means that papers will never again be recirculated/recycled
every year, that papers will not be copied from one class and used for a
different class, that papers from one university will not find their way to
another university course, and that papers acquired from the Internet will NEVER
be used to fulfill a course requirement.
An
instructor registers his/her class with Plagiarism.org. Each instructor then
requests that her/his students upload their term papers or manuscripts to the
Plagiarism.org web site.
Each
student in the instructor's course accesses the Plagiarism.org web site.
From
the web site students can upload their work into our database designed
specifically for their particular class. Students can also access information
regarding plagiarism and information concerning intellectual property.
Our
proprietary technology converts each manuscript into an abstract representation;
essentially, we 'finger-print' each paper.
Each
term paper submitted for a class requirement is statistically checked against a
database of other manuscripts collected from different universities, classes,
and from all-over the Internet. Only cases of gross plagiarism are flagged. This
means that papers using some identical quotes or papers written on similar
topics will NEVER be flagged as unoriginal.
A
report is then emailed (or mailed) to the instructor detailing the degrees of
originality for each paper checked with Plagiarism.org.
The
fees, which I find reasonable for this remarkable service, are described below:
Our
offer is simple. To insure that only interested parties use our service there is
a one-time, $20.00 (US) fee to create an account with us. This account can be
used to upload 30 different manuscripts. We will email you a link to a
confidential webpage containing an exact numerical analysis of each manuscript's
originality. If any manuscripts were plagiarized you will know. After an account
has been created, there will be a small charge of $0.50 for every manuscript,
after 30, subsequently analyzed.

Journal, September 1999, pg. 50.

Portal to Asian Internet Resources ---
http://webcat.library.wisc.edu:3200/PAIR/index.html
A Title VI-funded project, the Portal to Asian
Internet Resources (PAIR) offers scholars, students and the interested
public more than six thousand professionally selected, cataloged and
annotated online resources.
Committed to directing users to Asian area
content in the humanities and social sciences, the PAIR Project is
supported by an impressive complement of area studies scholars,
bibliographers and subject selectors based at the libraries of the
University of Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota and the Ohio State
University.
With a primary mission of providing direct
access to online Asian information in native languages and scripts, the
PAIR Project team also hopes to broaden access by offering users a suite
of instructional resources on the use of Asian character sets and search
engines.

ERIC
CLEARINGHOUSES CLOSE
After over
thirty years of service, the U.S. Department of Education's ERIC
Clearinghouses, and the AskERIC service, permanently closed at the end
of December 2003. ERIC is a national information system funded by the
U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences to
provide access to education literature and resources. The
Clearinghouses, stationed at various educational institutions, provided
documents and reference services on educational topics ranging from
Elementary and Early Childhood Education to Urban and Minority Education
to Adult, Career, and Vocational Education.
The new ERIC
uses one URL (http://www.eric.ed.gov)
to:
-- search the
ERIC database,
-- access the
ERIC Calendar of Education-Related Conferences,
-- link to the
ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS) to
purchase ERIC
full-text documents, and
-- link to the
ERIC Processing and Reference Facility to
purchase ERIC
tapes and tools.

Interesting Sites
Study and/or Teach Abroad
One of the most phenomenal Internet
industries is the travel industry. Although most of the transactions are
for airline and hotel bookings, there are some phenomenal and innovative sites
that offer more services. This week I will feature some of the more
innovative sites.
GoAbroad.com ---
http://www.goabroad.com/
This site is deeply rooted in services to academe. One of the main
founders, Troy Peden, is a former Study Abroad Coordinator at the University of
Colorado at Denver. The site is heavily focused upon over 14,000 study
abroad package deals, although there are many other package deals for teaching,
internships, language study, and volunteer work.
