This paper reviews studies of peer feedback from the novel perspective of the providers of that feedback. The possible learning benefits of providing peer feedback in online learning have not been extensively studied. The goal of this study was therefore to explore the process of providing online peer feedback as ... read more a learning activity for the provider. We concluded that (1) providing online peer feedback has several potential learning benefits for the provider; (2) when providing online peer feedback, students use different cognitive processes; (3) the cognitive processes and the potential learning benefits can be realised when students use specific elements in the feedback they provide. show less
We subject all customer ads to automated scanning that can result in anywhere from 1 impression and click per day to dozens, depending on the automatically assessed risk level. Such scanning is done to ensure the safety of the internet public at large from malicious ads. Unfortunately, this activity does appear in third-party ad server logs and may appear in Google Analytics. Scan activity will be observed from a wide variety of geographies and devices. All stats in the DSP exclude automated scan activity, so no impressions or clicks as a result of this activity are billable.
In addition to our scans, exchanges or publishers may also subject ads to automated scans. This is outside of our control and is an expected part of participating in the RTB ecosystem. For example, Google will subject all creatives to automated scanning, which often shows up as robotic activity from Mountain View, California, but will not necessarily appear to be situated there. As with our own scans, we only bill for served impressions that result from an auction. We do not bill for invocations of customer ad markup that result from scans outside of the bid request/response cycle.
"Ghost clicks" may occur because clicks can come in some time after the impression. Imagine, for example, that somebody loads a page in a background tab and comes back to it days later. This could result in a click without any impressions.
The primary reason for the variance is that Google Analytics is not counting ad clicks. Google counts "sessions" (or page views), which is a different metric altogether. This means that a page needs to load completely in order for Google to register. Moreover, Google Analytics limits a "session" to every 30 minutes per user. Google Analytics and DFP discrepancies is a topic that is also recognized by Google and covered in their own support centre.
Also, visitors must have JavaScript, images, and cookies enabled in their browsers in order for Google Analytics to report their visit. Additionally, browsers with certain ad blockers or firewalls can prevent Google Analytics from tracking visitor information.
Lastly, there are a number of challenges that Google Analytics experiences around correctly attributing mobile traffic. Regarding mobile apps in particular, apps can't pass "referrers", which causes all app-based traffic to be under-reported and mis-categorized by Google Analytics.
As we wave goodbye to 2016, a New Year beckons! It’s a time for new travel opportunities and a chance to discover more areas of this incredible planet and all it has to offer; one of the best ways to achieve this is with a good old-fashioned road trip. The stuff of legend due, in part, to Hollywood movies such as Easy Rider, Dumb and Dumber, and Road Trip (aptly enough), it’s also a chance to kick back and enjoy some stunning scenery.
For a road trip, you can stay local or you can head far afield to new countries and make your way around. It’s entirely up to you – but how do you ensure you have an awesome road trip? In part you need to ensure your vehicle is up to the job, but there are also a few extra pieces of advice you should bear in mind.
If you’re heading on a road trip, make sure you visit the country with the best scenery available! Whether it’s America, Scotland, England, France, Germany, Japan, or Iceland, there are established road trip routes which you can follow in most nations.
Iceland, in particular, has an incredible route set up which traverses all the way around what is essentially one very big island. Do a bit of research before you head out anywhere and you should be all set for a fantastic road trip in 2017!
For a bit of inspiration, why not read a few classic travel books? From the likes of On the Road by Jack Kerouac, the Great Railway Bazaar by Paul Theroux, and almost anything by Wilfred Thesiger, there are plenty of books which will inspire wanderlust in you. This list of 13 such travel books will help you along!
Again, this is an easy-going way to get a bit of research done. Get inspiration from the movies; watch Easy Rider, Dumb and Dumber, or whatever else you want to pick up tips for how to have a fun road trip. Just leave out any of the more chaotic elements! This list of 10 great American road trip films is a great place to start, especially as the US is basically synonymous with road trips.
Take advantage of free apps such as Airbnb to ensure you have a cheap and friendly place to stay. This app is an online community where independent accommodation services put up cheap places to stay for weary travellers – it’s not exactly a new service so don’t worry about veracity, there are tens of thousands of registered places to stay which kind of makes it the eBay version of accommodation.
Wherever you’re heading, you want your vehicle (be it car, SUV, 4×4, or even a van, most likely a van) to be in tip top condition. One of the most important factors is ensuring your tyres are up to the task so, considering the amount of miles you’ll be putting in, you’d be best set with a new selection of compounds.
If you’re driving a 4×4, for instance, ensure you get the right 4×4 tyres to deal with the current season and where you may be heading. If you’re going to be off-roading (always a good option for maximum fun!), then you’ll want strong and durable tyres up to the task.
Whatever your situation, you can head to a garage or use a mobile tyre fitting service to ensure your vehicle is all setup and ready. This includes giving it a good service check for any mechanical issues, and ensuring your tyre pressures are at the right levels.
