Designing For Reflection In Online Courses, Ron Oliver, Janice Herrington
Research outputs pre 2011
Reflection can be described as both an individually-mediated and a socially-mediated process. In this paper we describe an online unit in a Graduate Certificate of Online Learning that has been designed to enhance the opportunities for students to reflect on their learning. Rather than being promoted as a learning strategy to supplement the unit curriculum, reflection has been integrated fully within the course design. Students are encouraged to reflect as they complete their chosen project (reflection-in-action) and in a more sustained and extended manner (reflection-on-action) as they write up their experiences in an article of publishable quality. The technology and …

Online Learning Design For Dummies: Professional Development Strategies For Beginning Online Designers, Ron Oliver, Janice Herrington
Research outputs pre 2011
Much of the conventional development of Web-based learning environments stems from design strategies that are based on providing delivery of the course content. Contemporary courseware delivery systems encourage teachers to see the design of online learning as settings as a process of electronic delivery of content and information. As a consequence Web-based courses have tended to display limited evidence of an underpinning learning design and varying degrees of use of the opportunities and affordances of the new technologies. This paper provides an overview of instructional design principles that can guide beginning designers in the creation of Web-based learning materials that …

A Cmos Imager With Pfm/Pwm Based Analog-To-Digital Converter, Amine Bermak
A Cmos Imager With Pfm/Pwm Based Analog-To-Digital Converter, Amine Bermak
Research outputs pre 2011
An on-pixel analog-to-digital converter based on both PFM and PWM schemes is reported. The proposed architecture uses a limited number of transistors that can be implemented in a small silicon area resulting in a 23% fill-factor. The digital sensor can be externally configured in order to operate under either the PFM or PWM scheme. At high light intensities, the PFM scheme is replaced by the PWM scheme which proves to be much more efficient in terms of power consumption and clock frequency requirements. An in-built light adaptation mechanism has also been implemented which allows the sensor to better adapt to …
Cutting Hacking: Breaking From Tradition, Rick Duley, Stanislaw P. Maj
Cutting Hacking: Breaking From Tradition, Rick Duley, Stanislaw P. Maj
Research outputs pre 2011
Code construction is the one inescapable phase of the software development cycle yet educators seem unable to escape the mind-set which equates programming with syntax and semantics. Accumulated coding wisdom of more than four decades, now being codified in the SWEBOK, should smooth the process of learning to develop software if presented early in the student's career. Typically, however, it continues to be presented in advanced programming units rather than as fundamental understanding. As a consequence, code hacking is the norm in undergraduate years. This paper examines current practice and presents the view that what is needed is not a …

Research outputs pre 2011
To interoperate data sources which differ structurally and semantically, particular problems occur, for example, problems of changing schemas in data sources will affect the integrated schema. In this paper, we propose the mediated integration architecture (MedInt), which employs mediation and wrapping techniques as the main components for the integration of heterogeneous systems. With MedInt, a mediator acts as an intermediate medium transforming queries to sub-queries, integrating result data and resolving conflicts. Wrappers then transform sub-queries to specific local queries so that each local system is able to understand the queries.

Generalized Moving Average Models And Applications In High Frequency Data, Shelton Peiris, David E. Allen, Aerambamoorthy Thavaneswaran
Research outputs pre 2011
This paper considers a new class of first order moving average type time series model with index δ (> 0) to describe some hidden features of a time series. It is shown that this class of models provides a valid, simple solution to a new direction of time series modelling. In particular, for suitably chosen parameters (coefficient β and index δ) this type of models could be used to describe data with low or high frequency components. Various new results associated with this class are given in a general form. A simulation study is carried out to justify the theory. …

Recurrent Participation In Rockcamp: Perceptions Of A K-12 Professional Development Program In Geology., Thomas Edward Repine
Recurrent Participation In Rockcamp: Perceptions Of A K-12 Professional Development Program In Geology., Thomas Edward Repine
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The geological experiences of six teachers with a history of sustained participation in the RockCamp geology professional development program were investigated. The research premise was based on Gordon's (1961, 1971) and Joyce and Weil's (1996) descriptions of the usefulness of synectics to present new ways of looking at familiar situations. The overarching goal was to delineate both reasons for participation and tropologically characterizations of their recurrent (sustained) participation. Qualitative data reflecting participatory perceptions were obtained using a series of three semi-structured interviews and an individually variable number of follow-up sessions. Additional data were derived from participant-constructed concept maps and a …

Environment-Based Education: Policy, Practice, And Place, Eric N. Wickwire
All Master's Theses
The policies of the environment-based education movement are benefiting teachers and students participating in several model programs operating in the United States. Place-centered learning enhances the interdisciplinary practice of Essential Academic Learning Requirements, and actively engages students in local issues. The study of cultural landscapes encourages a sense of place within the Lower Columbia River Gorge, and fosters student connections with the Dalles Mountain Ranch. Policy recommendations are made for environment-based learning in Washington State's public schools. An example place-centered curriculum is outlined for practice at the Dalles Mountain Ranch, and a residential environmental learning center is proposed in the …

Factual Causation In Toxic Tort Litigation: A Philosophical View Of Proof And Certainty In Uncertain Disciplines, Danielle Conway-Jones
University of Richmond Law Review
The headline reads: "Town clenched in suffocating grip of as- bestos: W.R. Grace & Co. closed its vermiculite mine in Libby, Mont[ana], 10 years ago, but hazardous material was embedded in the ore. Experts attribute many cases of lung disease to what they call secondary exposure." Lately, exposure to toxic substances and harm to human health and the environment have become the norm, not the exception. Within the United States and its territories alone, environmental groups, as well as individuals, have documented the proliferation of harmful exposure to toxic substances from as far away as Kaho'olawe, Hawai'i, to as close …
Redistricting In A Post-Shaw Era: A Small Treatise Accompanied By Districting Guidelines For Legislators, Litigants, And Courts, Katharine Inglis Butler
Redistricting In A Post-Shaw Era: A Small Treatise Accompanied By Districting Guidelines For Legislators, Litigants, And Courts, Katharine Inglis Butler
University of Richmond Law Review
Legislators in jurisdictions with even modest minority populations will find adopting a challenge-resistant redistricting plan to be more difficult than ever before. The problem is how much consideration to give to race. Too little consideration may produce a plan subject to challenge under the Voting Rights Act (the "Act"). Too much consideration may produce a plan subject to challenge on constitutional grounds.
Discrete Predictive Analysis In Probabilistic Safety Assessment, Paul Kvam, J. Glenn Miller
Discrete Predictive Analysis In Probabilistic Safety Assessment, Paul Kvam, J. Glenn Miller
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
This paper presents methods for predicting future numbers of component failures for probabilistic safety assessments (PSAs). The research is motivated and illustrated by discrete failure data from the nuclear industry, including failure counts for emergency diesel generators, pumps, and motor operated valves. Failure counts are modeled with Poisson and binomial distributions. Multiple-failure environments create extra problems for predictive inference, and are a primary focus of this paper. Common cause failures (CCFs), in particular, refer to the simultaneous failure of system components due to an external event. CCF prediction is investigated, and approximate inference methods are derived for various CCF models.
Common Cause Failure Prediction Using Data Mapping, Paul H. Kvam, J. Glenn Miller
Common Cause Failure Prediction Using Data Mapping, Paul H. Kvam, J. Glenn Miller
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
To estimate power plant reliability, a probabilistic safety assessment might combine failure data from various sites. Because dependent failures are a critical concern in the nuclear industry, combining failure data from component groups of different sizes is a challenging problem. One procedure, called data mapping, translates failure data across component group sizes. This includes common cause failures, which are simultaneous failure events of two or more components in a group. In this paper, we present methods for predicting future plant reliability using mapped common cause failure data. The prediction technique is motivated by discrete failure data from emergency diesel generators …
The Internet, Regulation And The Market For Loyalties: An Economic Analysis Of Transborder Information Flow, Paul D. Callister
The Internet, Regulation And The Market For Loyalties: An Economic Analysis Of Transborder Information Flow, Paul D. Callister
Faculty Works
As the Internet has gained prevalence, attention has turned to its regulation. Indeed, regulation proves to be a unique and complex problem, given the Internet's lack of traditional borders and boundaries. Highlighting possible avenues of regulation, the author discusses neo-classical economic theory, specifically Monroe E. Price's market for loyalties theory. Although originally applied to the regulation of broadcasting, the author contends that the market for loyalties theory can also be applied to the Internet. Building on Professor Price's pioneering analysis, the article extends the theory to examine market elasticity's effect on the loss of monopoly control over information flow (as …

The Impact Of Expectations On Teaching And Learning, Barbara Glesner Fines
Faculty Works
Law schools are in a crisis of confidence in the abilities and motivations of their students. Conferences on law school teaching feature presentations such as "The Challenges of Connecting with 21st Century Students." Journal articles lament "The Happy Charade" that constitutes the learning and motivation of law students today. Professor Maranville of the Association of American Law Schools ("AALS") Section on Teaching Methods summarized these sentiments: "Many law students are so bored by the second year that their attendance, preparation, and participation decline precipitously; by graduation they have lost much of the passion for justice and the enthusiasm for helping …

Effects Of Perinatal Factors On The Duration And Cost Of Hospitalisation For Preterm Infants In A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit In Istanbul, İpek Akman, Di̇lşad Cebeci̇, Eren Özek, Sebahat İmamoğlu
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Long hospitalisation and high hospital charges of premature infants are important concerns for parents and health providers. In this study we determined the length of stay and hospital cost of preterm babies and assessed the predictive value of perinatal factors on the duration and the cost of hospitalisation. We reviewed hospital charges and length of stay for a retrospective cohort of 72 premature infants discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit of Marmara University Hospital between January 1999 and January 2000. The perinatal factors were analysed using forward stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. The median gestational age and birth weight …
