You work for a university, an institute, a branch of government or private industry where research takes place. It's your job to explain that research to audiences not reading peer-reviewed academic journals, whether those are industry partners, potential students, taxpayers, or government officials.
Veteran communicator Kelley Teahen offers easy-to-digest tips on how to explain what sometimes seems unexplainable in "What is it you do, and why does it matter? Writing effective research profiles."

Using the learning cycle to engage students in ILMarcia Rapchak
A 2008 article found in Psychological Science in the Public Interest by Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer, and Bjork titled “Learning Styles: Concepts and Evidence” shows that tailoring instruction to match a student’s learning style preference does not result in better acquisition of the ideas presented (p. 112). The implications of this claim for the Fleming VAK (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) Model, along with other learning style models, must be considered for library instruction. Instead of trying to identify and teach to specific learning styles, we can work to integrate a variety of learning preferences to create engaging lesson plans that employ active learning. One way to do this is to use experiential learning, and, more specifically, David Kolb’s Learning Cycle in instruction. This method allows instructors to provide students with a variety of learning activities within a class without focusing on one single learning style.

Open SUNY NDLW: Using open source virtual-reality environments for community...Erin Maney
Immersive, 3-D environments have offered opportunities for distance participants to share in any number of activities. With the advent of open source environments that are low-cost and that come either pre-configured or easily configured, this instructor has used these environments in class activities including: presentations, discussions, poster sessions, team meetings within a class, and shared activities (such as visiting other islands or testing 3-D building). Using action research the effectiveness of these environments on community building has been studied and published; students have overcome the isolation of discussion-board-driven online environments and been able to form more effective academic and personal relationships within courses.

A presentation - Facilitating inquiry-based learning from afar: Educational research in the Caribbean - given by Dr Sabine Little at the following conference: ALT-C conference, Edinburgh, September 2006
In this presentation, I share the results I found from conducting a case study in a graduate educational learning technology course at a medium sized university in the southwest US. The purpose of this case study was to understand the meanings that graduate students assign to their experience with HyFlex design. The term HyFlex has its roots in two words: Hybrid – combines both online and face-to-face teaching and learning activities in a single course, and Flexible – students choose their mode of participation whether face-to-face, online, or both. Findings show four themes that capture the meanings the participating graduate students assigned to their experience with HyFlex design: accommodating students’ needs, increasing access to course content, differentiating instruction, and encouraging student control.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

12. Inquiry Based Learning “ IBL is a term used to describe approaches to learning that are based on a process of self-directed inquiry or research . Students conduct small or large-scale inquiries that enable them to engage actively and creatively with the questions and problems of their discipline, often in collaboration with others. IBL approaches include case-study and problem-based learning (PBL) methods as well as research projects of different kinds. It is a key characteristic of IBL that inquiry tasks facilitate exploration and investigation of issues or scenarios that are open-ended enough for different responses and solutions to be possible (Khan and O´Rourke, 2005)” source: CILASS website (Centre for Inquiry Based Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences) http://www.shef.ac.uk/cilass/ibl.html
