Setting Learning Outcomes - LTC Following the principle of constructive alignment (see curriculum design) we need to be able to describe learning outcomes that our students can achieve and that are capable of being assessed. Learning outcomes are the specific intentions related to what students should know, understand or be able to do. They are often described as discipline specific (related to the subject) or generic (related to certain skills such as presentation). Outcomes should be explicit and intelligible to students and other users, expressed in such a form that permits their achievement to be demonstrated. Outcomes often use action verbs such as those described in Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. The Learning and Teaching Centre has developed a range of resources to help you design learning outcomes for your units, including: Bloom's Taxonomy - An Overview The following Flash tutorials are from the Colorado Community College System wiki.

Movies In Color 13 Things to Avoid When Changing Habits | Zen Habits “Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.” - Mark Twain Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on Twitter. I’ve learned a lot about changing habits in the last 2 1/2 years, from quitting smoking to taking up running and GTD and vegetarianism and waking early and all that. I could go on, of course, but you get the picture. I’ve not only learned a lot about what you should do when changing habits, but through my failures, I’ve learned about what not to do. And trust me, I’ve had lots of failures. I’ve found failures to be just as important as successes when trying to learn how to improve, especially when it comes to changing habits. I’ve done that, with one failure after another, and would like to share a few things I’ve learned to avoid when trying to change a habit. “Motivation is what gets you started. Taking on two or more habits at once. “We are what we repeatedly do.
שקרים יפים | על נתונים, אינפוגרפיקות, ומה שהולך לאיבוד בדרך 4 Lessons to Learn from Charles and Ray Eames Posted on 27'12 Nov Posted on November 27, 2012 along with 15 JUST™ Creative Comments *This is a guest article contributed by Aniya Wells. Charles and Ray Eames were the design power couple of the 20th century. Their Eames Lounge chair for Herman Miller, shown below, is one of the most lusted-after furniture designs in the world, and is only the best known example of their vast output. Eames Lounge Chair For over 35 years, Charles and Ray lived as husband and wife, but also as partners in a design practice that put forth such remarkably varied fruits as the Eames Case Study House, the film Powers of Ten, and the exhibition Mathematica, still on view today at the Boston Museum of Science. Though slogan writing was not one of their advertised areas of expertise, Charles had a particular knack for the pithy, memorable quotation. Ray & Charles Eames 1. “Take your pleasures seriously.” 2. Perhaps the greatest secret to the success of the Eameses was that they refused to specialize. 3. 4.
The Neuroscience of Decision Making In an attempt to put matter over mind, researchers are beginning to decipher what exactly is happening in our brains when we are making decisions. Our thoughts, though abstract and vaporous in form, are determined by the actions of specific neuronal circuits in our brains. The interdisciplinary field known as “decision neuroscience” is uncovering those circuits, thereby mapping thinking on a cellular level. Although still a young field, research in this area has exploded in the last decade, with findings suggesting it is possible to parse out the complexity of thinking into its individual components and decipher how they are integrated when we ponder. Eventually, such findings will lead to a better understanding of a wide range of mental disorders, from depression to schizophrenia, as well as explain how exactly we make the multitude of decisions that ultimately shape our destiny. The following is an edited transcript of the teleconference. C. WANG: Yes.
In 1910, French Artist Predicted Utopia in 2000 with Robots and Flying Machines We all had pretty high hopes for the world after the year 2000. As a kid, I was sure that we’d have flying cars and self-drying jackets a la Back to the Future II. Recently BLDGBLOG took a look at a series of postcards created by French artist Villemard in 1910 called “Utopie” which provided a glimpse of the future … all the way to the year 2000. BLDBLOG, being an architecture blog, was most fascinated by the picture above in which an architect sits in a box and commands his robot workers to assemble a building by pushing knobs and dials. It’s actually not that crazy–a pair of Swiss architects are essentially trying to develop the same thing. When I first saw this picture, I laughed out loud. Teleconferencing looks so much cooler in alternate 2000 than it does now. Oh no, the sky cops! This picture, titled “A Chemical Dinner,” correctly predicts the rise of either molecular gastronomy or fast food. These, oddly enough, actually exist. Electric trains!
Brand identity style guides This is great! The University of Connecticut has a nice one designed by Peter Good. Web and link to PDF version. Peter did a great job of differentiating the three identities a university typically has. – The academic and marketing identity (what most would think of as the main identity). – The athletics or mascot identity. UConn has a pretty simple color palette but, many academic systems also include extra Pantone colors to be used for marketing or just for the presidential or university seal (gold, etc.). Stanford University just redid their system too! I also like Vanderbilt University’s.
