Great Job to our son for his participation in this great event and providing commentary and presentation at the conference for the Impact of AI in our Business environments (not pictured, but highlighted in article). Franklin Ebling (V, P) The Impact of AI in Business Environments Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used across multiple industries. This project will be examining how AI and data analytics are being used by businesses. These cutting-edge technologies enable organizations to track data, improve decision making, increase productivity, recruit talented employees, demonstrate due diligence for regulators, and communicate with stakeholders. How AI has the potential to not only help businesses, but drastically change it will be discussed.

Here is Dr. Michelle Peters, Professor and Department Chair, with some doctoral students during the summer class Program Evaluation. This course addresses the evaluation of the effectiveness of programs and policies. Topics include purposes for evaluating; evaluator’s role; evaluation structure; various design applications including experimental, quasi-experimental and descriptive; and indicators for effectiveness and program process along with a series of components including collection of quantitative and qualitative data, analysis and use of evaluation results in the decision-making process. #edls #uhcl University of Houston-Clear Lake

What is basic research in the area of digitalization? how do you select a timely research topic? what is the scale, and level of urgency of your research problem, and how can you frame your research to contribute to an existing body of research? This was a set of questions I discussed with our wonderful group of PhD students in informatics here at Umeå University last week. It is also something I focus on in my ongoing book project on applied and basic research. How do you frame your research? and to what extent is your research applied or basic? empirical or theoretical? short-term, or long-term?

Some interesting things in here

A question for QUT (Queensland University of Technology) and Griffith University. How does someone become and expert when there are no experts to guide their research? Hitting road block after road block in my quest to undertake PhD research.

Really interesting article by Colin contributing to the discussions on the curriculum review of sciences. It explores how the role of knowledge in CfE is vague especially for novice teachers and links to research that states that skills are the application of knowledge. Then explores writing that conceptual knowledge is is not leaner well during practical work and that explicit instruction that is responsive, interactive, dynamic and inclusive is the most effective way for novices to learn. In my role as an IoP physics teacher coach I can help with the professional learning that is necessary to ensure experience and novice teachers know the pedagogical approaches and pedagogical content knowledge to carry out effective explicit instruction.

ICYMI: ICYMI: Latest in the Ottawa News of Science Schools in Canada: The latest Ottawa Citizen science school news is actually about the closure of a science program, not an opening. Here’s the relevant part: While it’s not positive news, it is the most recent development about science schools in the Ottawa Citizen. You can find the article by searching “Ontario Science Centre’s school cancelled” [CTV News]. http://dlvr.it/T9hHgX #CanadaOttawaSchools #CanadaSchools #OttawaSchoolNews

We all know that involving students in undergraduate research is a high impact practice. Today, I was impressed by the sophistication of the studies being conducted at SIUE, sometimes by first-year college students. The cross-disciplinary collaborations were also noteworthy, such as the ones between computer science and biological sciences. I wish I could tell you more, but you can check out the amazing work being done by these students and faculty at https://www.siue.edu/urca/. Truly impressive!

OIBR is here to promote the behavioral and social sciences at the University of Georgia. As part of our mission, we are here to help promote the research of our affiliated faculty. To do this, we look to highlight the great work of our Distinguished Scholars, Affiliates, and GDP's. Submit a story idea to us about your research, or if you have recently received an award, have been published, want to share an event that may be of interest to social and behavioral scientists, or have any other professional good news to share, let us know! https://lnkd.in/epymxAy4
