Training Evaluation: Audience Resonse System As An Evaluation Tool, R. Hogan, D'Anna Cepela, Brittany Fentress Jun 2014

Training Evaluation: Audience Resonse System As An Evaluation Tool, R. Hogan, D'Anna Cepela, Brittany Fentress

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Training program evaluation is essential in developing and sustaining effectivetraining interventions. More specifically, measuring learning transfer is essential toany training program as it determines whether learning has occurred and if thelearning objectives have been met. Kirkpatrick (2005), stated that training programevaluation is used “to decide if a program should be continued, to decide if aprogram should be modified, and to demonstrate the value of training – and thusjustify our existence [as trainers/human performance technologists/consultants]” (p.19). The purpose of this study was to describe challenges in evaluating training andhow technology can aid in this process.


Fostering Intercultural Competencies Through Global Awareness And Immersion, Marissa A. Sutera Mar 2014

Fostering Intercultural Competencies Through Global Awareness And Immersion, Marissa A. Sutera

2014 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity Documents

Among the many changes in the world today is the growth in the interrelatedness of people and cultures across nations. This change makes intercultural competence skills even more important for higher education students, especially in the United States, as they will be entering an increasingly multicultural and diverse workplace. Beginning with an understanding of global awareness achieved on university campuses, educators can work towards preparing students to succeed in an internationalized economy and strive towards creating students that are motivated to take actions closer to world peace. Furthermore, universities can immerse their students in other cultures through study abroad programming …

New Gripping And Binding Device Greatly Improves Preparation Of Natural Clasts For Rfid Tracking, Samuel Slaven, Isaac Slaven, Alison M. Anders Jan 2014

New Gripping And Binding Device Greatly Improves Preparation Of Natural Clasts For Rfid Tracking, Samuel Slaven, Isaac Slaven, Alison M. Anders

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Radio frequency identification technology (RFID) has allowed for tracking of individual clasts implanted with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags through sedimentary systems, providing recovery rates much higher than older sediment tagging methods such as painted or magnetic clasts. However, preparation of natural clasts for PIT tag implantation has been time-consuming and dangerous with rates of catastrophic failure of clasts of ∼66% or more. Moreover, failure rates increase as clast size decreases. The authors present an improved methodology that provides nearly 100% success rates and allows for drilling of clasts down to 23 mm along the intermediate diameter. The gripping and …
