25 Female Scientists to Celebrate This Month

Carol Brown has been in touch to remind us about this recent published article below.



The Teslas and Newtons of history have already received enough attention, thank you very much. Ever since science started being a thing, the ladies have always played an integral role in keeping human knowledge marching forward, they just lacked the same social and political standings as their male contemporaries, therefore ranking far lower on the public relations hierarchy. Every March marks Women’s History Month, which honors the oft-marginalized demographics within math, science, technology, engineering, and (obviously) disciplines beyond. When wanting to rock some theorums and hypotheses, turn to some of the following females for inspiration.

Charles Babbage may have given modern computing its body, but Ada Lovelace contributed the voice. This eagerly intellectual countess invented the world’s very first computer program and translated numerous game-changing mathematical and scientific publications into English.

E-learning and evolving intellects

AN expert in computer-based education strategies says students need to be taught the concepts behind technological innovations to allow them to properly prepare for a rapidly changing workforce and information-based world.

Photo: Science Network Western Australia

UWA Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning Associate Professor Shannon Johnston recently delivered a workshop, aimed at improving awareness of computer based technologies in an education context.

Prof Johnston says it is important that students today focus on understanding the concepts behind technological innovations rather than mastering any particular form of technology.

“The importance is not on learning every individual piece of technology but to understand that different softwares have different purposes and different benefits, (because) the workforce is forever changing and students will need versatility after they graduate,” she says.

Prof Johnston says one of the best examples of e-learning she has witnessed in her career was in architecture.

“Students were having difficulty reading maps, which is a major aspect of an architect’s work. So we created a series of flash based tutorials in which they were able to navigate through the eyes of an architect and see how that building was designed and why it was designed in that particular way,” she says.

“When educators consider what is the intended learning outcome and what is the best means to achieve that, sometimes you realise that, simply reading an article or discussing it is not sufficient and they actually have to do it. That’s where computer based learning can make a real difference”.

Engaging Video

What do corporate training and entertainment have in common? Both industries spend billions to produce content that will capture our undivided attention and influence our behavior.

Combining the best of both industries may encourage organizational improvement. After all, we are a culture that is captivated by TV and film: Supernanny taught us how to raise our children, CNN helped us decide how to vote, and Star Wars taught us how to use the force.

Utilizing engaging video is an effective way to empower and encourage employees to adopt behaviors or skills that benefit your organization. But what is engaging video?

VictorPrime exclusive excerpt for Training Mag, issue March 2012

VictorPrime exclusive excerpt for Training Mag, issue March 2012 from Victor Prime on Vimeo.

Tips for providing engaging video training within your organization.
  1. Relate. Provide current and culturally relevant content that appeals to your learners. Avoid dated content they would deem irrelevant. This requires assessing the generational gap between your learners.
  2. Resonate. The content should inspire an honest conversation among learners that leaves a lasting impact. The most effective training extends well beyond the initial session and throughout the learner's career.
  3. Reinforce. Sustain your video training with ancillary content and post-assessments. Suggest that learners engage in refresher conversations about the training both online and offline.

How the developing world is using cellphone technology to change lives

In Nigeria, a young girl can ask questions about sex discretely through SMS and get accurate information.
After the earthquake in Haiti, survivors in remote towns could receive money for food straight to their cellphone.
In Senegal, election monitors sent updates on polling stations through their mobile phones, revising an online map in real time with details about late openings or worse.

Photo: Toronto Star

Projects like Learning about Living in Nigeria, MercyCorps in Haiti and Senevote2012 in Senegal are just a few examples of how the rapid spread of mobile technology has changed life in the global south.

Many places are jumping straight from paper records to mobile information because they are getting cellphone towers before Internet connections or even traditional phone lines. This means that for the first time it’s possible for a doctor in Guatemala City to monitor a newborn baby in a rural part of the country.

“People who never had access to information can get to a telecentre or a computer at their church or they have a mobile phone even if they share that mobile phone with their whole family and everyone just has their own SIM card,” said Revi Sterling, director of Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD) graduate studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Free video lessons offered by leaders in innovation, thinking



Photo: Laura Devaney
Laura Devaney, Managing Editor writes, "In today’s story, we highlight a new resource that educators and students should find very helpful: TED-Ed, which makes enlightening videos and lessons available to classrooms across the globe. The videos aim to spark student interest and boost engagement. Teachers are invited to submit their lessons for inclusion – check out our story for more details."

In the vast realm of dogs hugging baby deer and toddlers laughing hysterically, it’s not always easy finding online videos that have a deeply profound impact—that is, until Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) entered the market, providing “ideas worth spreading.” Now, TED is venturing into education with TED-Ed.

TED, a global set of conferences owned by the private nonprofit Sapling Foundation, usually gives speakers 18 minutes to present their ideas in the most innovative and engaging ways they can. Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, and Malcolm Gladwell are just a few notable speakers who have presented at TED.

In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED launched TED-Ed on March 12 with the intent of making available the “mind-altering lessons that happen in classrooms every day” to everyone in the world.

In this interesting video, this one part of the Inventions that Shaped History series, the origins of globalization—a key concept every student should understand (especially for future job markets)—are explained through containerization.

Online learning puts revenue first by Mark Jones, Professor

Photo: Mark Jones  
"I recently submitted two questions for Provost Alan Harrison for the March 27 meeting of Senate. One is: why do we already have a financial exploration, or “business case,” for expanding online learning, and not a word on the subject in our new Academic Plan? The other is: why won’t you let us see it?" summarizes Mark Jones at the Queen’s department of English.

I know the business case exists because our 2011-12 Budget Report boasts about it: “As part of its planning exercises (in the face of the need to balance the budget), Queen’s has been exploring various revenue-generating ideas,” including, the report says, “the feasibility of offering Queen’s degrees and certificates through distance on-line learning.”

The business case for online learning is also mentioned in a February 2011 memo from Continuing and Distance Studies (CDS) to Queen’s departments. The memo states, “The Business Case will include an examination of what programs we can offer online, whether there is a market, what it will cost, and whether it will be profitable in terms of additional tuition revenue.”
