FULL ABSTRACT:


Community Based Learning (CBL) is a pedagogy that is encompassed in the broader spectrum of the scholarship of engagement, which also includes experiential education, undergraduate research, community-based research, and stronger relationships between academic institutions, their work, and local communities. As an experiential learning pedagogy, CBL is also related to other forms of active learning, such as internships, however it is unique in that it integrates academic learning objectives with goals for social responsibility and civic values, which many institutions of higher education, including George Mason University, promote. In order to realize the student and community benefits of CBL, the research has shown that high quality implementation of the pedagogy matters. This training will allow faculty members to increase their knowledge of CBL and incorporate best practices to increasing student learning outcomes as well as adding value to and building the capacity of community work.




The wrong way to approach CBL is to think of the project as bestowing a benefit on the community, or as doing outreach to the community. A better goal is to strive to have students think of themselves as being members of the community – we are doing with, not us doing for them.  In a true partnership, everyone plays a role in creating the goal, devising the plan, contributing to the work and benefitting from it.




Understanding community needs and creating effective partnerships is critical to this work.  Through an understanding of best practices faculty, students and community partners will be able to deepen their work and impact community issues.

Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2018
Subjects: hybrid courses

description: BRIEF SESSION DESCRIPTION:


Pecha Kucha style presentation formats (recorded presentations with strict limits on slide content and time) force students to effectively plan and prepare a presentation abput data or other complicated material in a creative way by forcing them to stay within strict time visual and time limits.  These student presentations can be used easily for online classes, as well as hybrid, or face-to-face classes, since the PowerPoint can be exported to a video file and submitted electronically.  These can also be used to streamline peer review of student presentations. Participants will be able to explain what a Pecha Kucha presentation is and describe several ways they could use it in their courses.


_____________________________________________________________


FULL ABSTRACT:


In my hybrid courses, students have to create a Pecha Kucha presentation. This presentation consists of 6 slides for 30 seconds each (or 9 slides for 20 seconds each), for a total presentation of 3 minutes, give or take 15 seconds.


There's very little needed to make this work.


The students will use PowerPoint or another presentation software, emphasizing visuals rather than text, and embed their audio or video presentation directly into the slide. The students are graded on how well the video and audio work together, on data presented in visual form, on technical aspects, and on a bibliography. This style of presentation format forces students to prepare to stay within the strict time limits and is appropriate for a hybrid or online class since the PowerPoint can be exported to a video file and submitted electronically.  These can also be used to streamline peer review of student presentations.

The Parity Operator: applications in quantum metrology

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020

description: In this paper, we review the use of parity as a detection observable in quantum metrology as well as introduce some original findings with regards to measurement resolution in Ramsey spectroscopy and quantum non-demolition (QND) measures of atomic parity. Parity was first introduced in the context of Ramsey spectroscopy as an alternative to atomic state detection. It was latter adapted for use in quantum optical interferometry where it has been shown to be the optimal detection observable saturating the quantum Cramér-Rao bound for path symmetric states. We include a brief review of the basics of phase estimation and the connection between parity-based detection and the quantum Fisher information as it applies to quantum optical interferometry. We also discuss the efforts made in experimental methods of measuring photon-number parity and close the paper with a discussion on the use of parity leading to enhanced measurement resolution in multi-atom spectroscopy. We show how this may be of use in the construction of high-precision multi-atom atomic clocks.

In the case of a constant diffusion coefficient, analytical and numerical studies of the frequency spectrum for the Cattaneo--Maxwell diffusion equation in fractional time and space derivatives have been performed. Numerical calculations of the phase and group velocities with change of values of characteristic relaxation time, diffusion coefficient and indexes of temporal $ξ$ and spatial $α$ fractality have been carried out.

description: A neoclassically optimized compact stellarator with simple coils has been designed. The magnetic field of the new stellarator is generated by only four planar coils including two interlocking coils of elliptical shape and two circular poloidal field coils. The interlocking coil topology is the same as that of the Columbia Non-neutral Torus (CNT). The new configuration was obtained by minimizing the effective helical ripple directly via the shape of the two interlocking coils. The optimized compact stellarator has very low effective ripple in the plasma core implying excellent neoclassical confinement. This is confirmed by the results of the drift-kinetic code SFINCS showing that the particle diffusion coefficient of the new configuration is one order of magnitude lower than CNT's.
Molecular Phylogeny of the Genus Houstonia and Allies in Rubiaceae
Creators: name: Shanks, Hunter Lee
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Houstonia (Rubiaceae) is a strictly North American genus of 24 species distributed from Mexico, throughout the United States, up to Canada. Houstonia has proven to be a taxonomically difficult genus since the Linnaean description of Houstonia and the related genera: Hedyotis and Oldenlandia in 1753. For over 250 years botanists have lumped and separated Houstonia from Hedyotis and Oldenlandia based on various morphological characters. The most recent circumscription of Houstonia (Terrell 1996) separated the genus into two subgenera with each subgenus containing two sections. Nuclear (ITS) and plastid (trnL-F, rps16) DNA sequences were used to build a molecular phylogeny depicting relationships within Houstonia and among the closely related genera Stenaria and Stenotis, all of which used to be considered Hedyotis. Separate and combined datasets show Stenaria is nested within the Houstonia lineage and therefore Houstonia, as currently circumscribed, is not a monophyletic lineage. These results disagree with the use of crateriform seeds to distinguish Houstonia (crateriform seeds) from Stenaria (non-crateriform seeds). It appears the most useful characters to define this group are the loss of chromosomes through the major clades as the Houstonia-Stenaria lineage radiated north and east in North America. Descending aneuploidy has been accompanied by slight modifications of the pollen aperture types from a simple endoaperture in Stenotis referred to as colporate type A with modifications in Houstonia-Stenaria resulting in compound aperture types referred to as colporate type B and colpororate.
Unlocking Islamic Names

Islamic studies

description: Personal names are data repositories. The Islamic scholarly tradition tells us as much: the parsing of names and their placement in genealogical series and scholarly lineages is a durable feature of many genres over many centuries. Read in this way, names are signifiers for persons, and those persons are nodes in the networks that constitute Islamic society. But this prosopographic approach is not the only way to extract meaning from names. Names are also language artifacts that can teach us about language and culture independently of the person that they signify. This paper describes a path of analysis that seeks to understand something of the lives of ordinary people by means of the names they carried. Most names that appear in the historical archive can never be reconciled to any notable person. These names offer clues about the social context of their bearers, however, and these context clues can be read back over history’s pool of names in such a way as to enrich our understanding of Middle Eastern pasts.

Trap Mediated Energy Transport via Vibronic Resonance

description: Controlling energy transfer through vibronic resonance is an interesting possibility. Exact treatment of non-adiabatic vibronic coupling is necessary to fully capture its role in driving energy transfer. However, exact treatment of vibrations in extended systems is expensive, sometimes requiring oversimplifying approximations to reduce vibrational dimensionality, and do not provide physical insights into which specific vibrational motions promote energy transport. Here we derive effective normal modes for excitonically coupled aggregates which reduce the overall high-dimensional vibronic Hamiltonian into independent one-dimensional Hamiltonians. Applying this approach on a trimer toy model, we demonstrate trap-mediated energy transport between electronically uncoupled sites. Bringing uncoupled sites into vibronic resonance converts the `trap' into a `conduit' for population transfer, while simultaneously minimizing trapped excitations. Visualizing energy transfer along the aggregate normal modes provides non-intuitive insights into which specific vibrational motions allow for trap-mediated energy transport by promoting vibronic mixing.

description: We report a systematic study of the dynamics of chain formation in electrorheological (ER) fluids using Brownian Dynamics simulations. The parameters of the system such as applied electric field, polarizability, dipole moment, friction coefficient, and number density are expressed in reduced units and changed in a wide range in order to map the system's behavior as a function of them. We define time constants obtained from bi-exponential fits to time dependence of various physical quantities such as dipolar energy, diffusion constant, and average chain length. The smaller time constant is associated with the formation of shorter chains (pairs, triplets, and so on), while the larger time constant is associated with the formation of longer chains in the regime of those that overarch the simulation cell. We use the approximation that the dipole moments are induced by the applied electric field only, as usual in the literature. However, we report preliminary results for the case when particle-particle polarization is also possible.

description: In current AEC practice client requirements are typically recorded in a building program, which, depending on the building type, covers various aspects from the overall goals, activities and spatial needs to very detailed material and condition requirements. This documentation is used as the starting point of the design process, but as the design progresses, it is usually left aside and changes are made incrementally based on the previous design solution. These incremental small changes can lead to a solution that may no longer meet the original requirements. In addition, design is by nature an iterative process and the proposed solutions often also cause evolution in the client requirements. However, the requirements documentation is usually not updated accordingly. Finding the latest updates and evolution of the requirements from the documentation is very difficult, if not impossible. This process can lead to an end result, which is significantly different from the documented requirements. Some important requirements may not be satisfied, and even if the design process was based on agreed-upon changes in the scope and requirements, differences in the requirements documents and in the completed building can lead to well-justified doubts about the quality of the design and construction process...

FULL ABSTRACT:


Multi-purpose peer review is an alternative method of peer review in which students work in small groups using reviewer prompt cards to review peer work.  Students utilize their speaking and listening skills alongside their writing and revision skills to further enhance learning and engage in critical thinking. It can be used in writing classes and transition classes for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as support for native speakers of English, multi-lingual learners, and international students.  Participants will experience one round of this review process and be able to describe how they could use it in their own course.


This activity forces students to hear and listen as well as give oral feedback and has worked well to help INTO Mason students gain confidence with their skills as well as gain valuable feedback on essays of all types. This activity is scalable depending on the number of students in your class – there should be groups of four students. Create several sets of notecards, each with one card that says:


•Author


•"I like..."


•"I suggest"


•Wildcard




Put the students in groups so they face each other and give them the cards.  The function of the cards are as follows:




Author: This student will read the paper aloud or a chosen section of it. He or she will read carefully and slowly to ensure his or her groupmates understand the work.




I Like: The holder of this card must say at least one thing he or she likes about what was just read.  The description should be detailed and provide specific examples about what the author did well in his or her essay.




I Suggest: The holder of this card must give a minimum of one suggestion for improvement of the essay.  The feedback should be detailed and specific, focused on clarity and ideas, not grammar.




Wildcard: The holder of this card can say whatever he or she wants about the essay, either positive or constructively critical.

description: BRIEF SESSION DESCRIPTION:

This presentation focuses on problem-based learning (PBL) methodology and how a multi-disciplinary team is using it to create a new course combining global health and engineering.Â  Course design considerations and strategies for managing PBL are discussed. Attendees will work on materials that will help them decide if this methodology is appropriate for their course. Participants will be able to define PBL, determine whether PBL is appropriate for their course and will develop a PBL activity using principles of backward design.Â  Participants will also be able to apply strategies that facilitate PBL.

_______________________________________________________________

FULL ABSTRACT:

Project-based learning (PBL) is a high impact teaching methodology that allows students to gain knowledge and skills by actively engaging in investigating and responding to real-world questions, problems or challenges. Courses of this type allows students to work on meaningful issues, meeting Masonâ€™s goal of transforming the Mason Student into the Mason Graduate â€“ an engaged citizen and well-round scholar who is prepared to act.Â  Knowledge of this methodology will be particular beneficial for faculty seeking to redesign courses as the University moves toward implementing M-Pact, Masonâ€™s commitment to offering every student a transformative learning experience.Â  Â

Â

The presenters, an interdisciplinary team of faculty members from Global and Community Health and Engineering attended the 2017 Institute on Project-Based Learning at Worcester Polytechnic Institute to learn about best practices regarding this methodology. The team will describe how they are using PBL methodology to create an undergraduate Engineering Global Health course. Team will then facilitate a workshop focused on implementation of PBL across a variety disciplines.Â

Presenters will:

â€¢Define project-based learning

â€¢Discuss design approaches with an emphasis on using backward design principles

â€¢Suggest strategies for managing PBL, including handling team dynamics

â€¢Lead participants in small group discussion and activities to brainstorm ideas for implementing PBL

Â

Participants will brainstorm challenges and potential solutions to implementing PBL through facilitated small group discussion. Participants will apply PBL methodology using backward design principles to begin to create a PBL experience for a course.Â

Â

Attendees will be able to define PBL, determine whether PBL is appropriate for their course and will develop a PBL activity using principles of backward design.Â  It is hoped that faculty engaged in this session will move on to form a community of practice around PBL at Mason.

Leveraging GTA's, LA's, and Student Leaders in the Classroom
Creators: name: McCarron, Graziella

Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2018
Subjects: graduate student mentoring; creativity; critical thinking; problem-based learnign

description: BRIEF SESSION DESCRIPTION:

Teaching Assistants (TAs) - undergraduate and graduate -Â and Learning Assistants (LAs)- not only make invaluable contributions to student learning but they can also benefit greatly from the intensive experiential learning opportunity offered by the TA role (Owen, 2011). Yet, faculty may often struggle with a) how to leverage TA/LA talents to support instruction robustly while b) designing effective learning experiences for the TAs/LAs they supervise. This panel, led by TA/LA voices, will address this challenge and provide practical strategies for striking this important balance. Presenters will also share TA/LA experience learning outcomes, sample learning contracts/assignments, and how to use BlackBoard to provide TAs with good infrastructure around learning. Â Participants will be able to describe several ways to support and leverage student leaders in the classroom.

FULL ABSTRACT:

The purpose of this Teaching Assistant (TA)-led and faculty-moderated panel is to explore and provide practical, impactful tools to George Mason University faculty who are eager to help their TAs grow as effective academic partners in the classroom while facilitating opportunities for TAs to stretch their understanding of peer mentoring and leadership, blossom in critical thinking and problem-solving, and connect the powerful TA experiential learning opportunity to TA's own academic and professional interests.

Â

Owen (2011), in her examination of peer educators, notes that "The higher education literature is replete with exhortations to foster out-of-class interaction between faculty and students, to promote collaborative and connected learning communities, and to help students develop a sense of agency and responsibility for their own education. Involving peer educators in classroom settings as authentic partners in the academic enterprise is one way to promote this kind of institutional transformation" (p. 63). This panel will serve as a living, breathing example of this observation and offer a practical approach to enriching the classroom through TA involvement AND enriching the TA's personal experience through intentionally-designed, TA-centered learning experiences. Participants and faculty who join this discussion will not only leave with tools for better serving their students but also tools for making the TA experience more meaningful.

BRIEF SESSION DESCRIPTION:

Flipgrid is an online social media platform that is ideal for sharing brief video statements with peers. This session explores how to leverage the Flipgrid platform to promote studentsâ€™ understandings of diverse academic content through a brief showcase of student examples.Â Participants will be guided to consider how they might use the Flipgrid platform as a tool for enhancing social exchanges and enriching studentsâ€™ understandings of essential course content. Participants will be able to describe how to create their own Flipgrid platform and create Flipgrid posts.Â

FULL ABSTRACT:

Flipgrid is an online social media platform that is ideal for sharing brief video statements with peers. Recognized as one of the top â€œtech toolsâ€ in 2018, the Flipgrid platform allows educators to create class forums accessible by students through password-protected, sharable links. This session will provide an overview of how I am currently using the platform as a forum for enhancing studentsâ€™ knowledge of essential social studies themes. As part of my course, students completed five â€œFlipgrid Challenges.â€ Each challenge prompts students to reflect on their community and then find an example of the focus social studies theme. For example, the first challenge required participants to go to a favorite spot in their community and describe the location using essential vocabulary, such as relative location, absolute location, human-made features, physical features, and natural features. Another challenge prompted students to use their understandings of economics concepts to highlight the production of either a good or a service. By encouraging the students to use essential social studies themes to video snapshots of places within their own communities, essential aspects of geography, economics, and history hold more meaning for all participants. As part of this demonstration, I will provide an overview of the Flipgrid platform. I will also share (with student consent) a few of the challenges that my students completed as part of their coursework. I will discuss how this experience enriched the content explored within our face-to-face class sessions. Finally, I will share alternative ways educators may use Flipgrid to enhance and extend studentsâ€™ content-specific understandings.

Scaffolding Visual Learning for Argument and Critical Reading
Creators: name: Goldenthal, Ariel
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2018
Subjects: active learning; active learning classrooms; student motivation

description: NOTE: This teaching activity showcase is one of two during the 1:00pm-2:30pm session. Â It will be presented within that session from 1:00pm to 1:40pm.

BRIEF SESSION DESCRITION:

This activity offers students the chance to use visual learning to support critical reading and inquiry into challenging texts. Scaffolding the visual learning aspect of the activity allows students to think and write individually, have a visual â€œdiscussionâ€ using notecards on a whiteboard, and then work in small-groups to focus their â€œdiscussionâ€ on a specific argument about a theme or concept that is stated in the text. Â The basics of this activity rely on inquiry, critical reading skills, and argument, which are cornerstones of higher education. Instructors across the disciplines will experience this activity as "students" and be able to adapt and adopt this activity at any point in the semester to push studentsâ€™ reading and thinking skills further.

_________________________________________________________________

FULL ABSTRACT:

Visual learning activities offer an alternative mode of support for critical reading and inquiry tasks. In my English classes, scaffolding visual learning activities has fostered increased student engagement and team work skills while giving students new ways to dissect challenging texts and concepts. This session will focus on one scaffolded visual learning activity, and will then break down adaptations that faculty from a variety of disciplines can use. The first part of this activity consists of a free-write, in which students are asked to respond to questions about the text that they have read. After completing the free-write, students will break into groups and each focus on a different theme (or concept) taken from the text and from the questions that they responded to. Each student will write on a notecard a strong question centered on that theme or concept. Using the whiteboards in active-learning classrooms, students will spend time moving the note cards around, commenting on or answering the questions in writing, and using whiteboard markers to show connections and categorize ideas. Finally, students will discuss their findings from their â€œconversationâ€ on the whiteboard, and use their discussion to create a thesis statement or argument about their theme as stated in the text.
