#OnYGo is an innovative first-year French language e-textbook, designed as Open Educational Resource (OER), for learning beginning French (equivalent to one year at an American university). It is inspired by a remix of task-based, multiliteracies and communicative approaches, which provides students with opportunities to engage with French language and culture in a variety of contexts and situations, across a range of modalities.

It is inspired by a remix of task-based, multiliteracies and communicative approaches, which provides students with opportunities to engage with French language and culture in a variety of contexts and situations, across a range of modalities. Through a wide range of activities, students develop and practice their language skills, and reflect on their cross-cultural knowledge and positionality in their understanding of the vast francophone landscape.

- BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE AND IPAD TECHNOLOGY RAISING THE BAR IN PUBLIC EDUCATION: A QUANTITATIVE STUDY.
- Creator
- Joseph Compomizzi, Shana M. D’Aurora, Bryan A. D’Aurora
- Abstract/Description

Mobile technology is quickly becoming an integral tool of business intelligence in U.S. public school systems. While cost and implementation are budgetary concerns, advancement of such technology such as the iPad in the arena of public education is having influence on the academic and social experiences of students. This paper defines business intelligence and iPad technology. Additionally drawing on the research of Jensen and Morreale, it examines critical factors for academic success...

While cost and implementation are budgetary concerns, advancement of such technology such as the iPad in the arena of public education is having influence on the academic and social experiences of students. This paper defines business intelligence and iPad technology. Additionally drawing on the research of Jensen and Morreale, it examines critical factors for academic success through a quantitative study of high school junior and senior students enrolled in a gifted program in the Steubenville, OH City School system, and presents findings on Attitude and Satisfaction on the use of iPad technology, Academic Engagement, Academic Performance, and Social Support

Show moreThe field of evolutionary developmental psychology can potentially broaden the horizons of mainstream evolutionary psychology by combining the principles of Darwinian evolution by natural selection with the study of human development, focusing on the epigenetic effects that occur between humans and their environment in a way that attempts to explain how evolved psychological mechanisms become expressed in the phenotypes of adults. An evolutionary developmental perspective includes an appreciation of comparative research and we, among others, argue that contrasting the cognition of humans with that of nonhuman primates can provide a framework with which to understand how human cognitive abilities and intelligence evolved. Furthermore, we argue that several «immature» aspects of childhood (e.g., play and immature cognition) serve both as deferred adaptations as well as imparting immediate benefits. Intense selection pressure was surely exerted on childhood over human evolutionary history and, as a result, neglecting to consider the early developmental period of children when studying their later adulthood produces an incomplete picture of the evolved adaptations expressed through human behavior and cognition.

- Crisis Communication in Dark Times: The 2011 Mouse River Flood in Minot, North Dakota.
- Creator
- Christopher L. Atkinson
- Abstract/Description
-
Crisis communication is an essential aspect of disaster and crisis management for governments; this is particularly true for local governments, which are first into an event response and last out, and on the front lines of response and recovery. In this article, crisis communication is reviewed generally and then in the context of the 2011 Souris (Mouse) River flood in Minot, North Dakota. Using analysis of primary interview data, I deliberate on the potential that exists for public...
Show moreCrisis communication is an essential aspect of disaster and crisis management for governments; this is particularly true for local governments, which are first into an event response and last out, and on the front lines of response and recovery. In this article, crisis communication is reviewed generally and then in the context of the 2011 Souris (Mouse) River flood in Minot, North Dakota. Using analysis of primary interview data, I deliberate on the potential that exists for public communication to enhance the responsiveness of government in addressing the public’s needs under threat of hazard or disaster. Results and discussion of the analysis are provided. I find that the city learned from the challenges of the flood in a way that suggests improved responses for future events. The case represents an expression of good governance in what have been dark times for the public sector.

- Distribution of Hard-Bottom Habitats on the Continental Shelf off the Northern and Central East Coast of Florida.
- Creator
- Perkins, T. H., Norris, H. A., Wilder, D. T., Kaiser, S. D., Camp, D. K., Matheson, Jr., R. E., Sargent, F. J., Colby, M. M., Lyons, W. G., Gilmore, Jr., R. G., Reed, J. K., Zarillo, G. A., Connell, K., Fillingfin, M., Idris, F. M.
- Abstract/Description
-
Marine fisheries scientists, user groups, and resource managers in the southeastern Atlantic states have determined that there is need for accurate information on the location and extent of hard-bottom habitat, which is of importance to the maintenance of reef-fish stocks. Reef fish have declined to such low levels that reproductive stocks are often inadequate to maintain current populations, and some fisheries stocks may be approaching a state of collapse. In order to meet this need for...
Show moreMarine fisheries scientists, user groups, and resource managers in the southeastern Atlantic states have determined that there is need for accurate information on the location and extent of hard-bottom habitat, which is of importance to the maintenance of reef-fish stocks. Reef fish have declined to such low levels that reproductive stocks are often inadequate to maintain current populations, and some fisheries stocks may be approaching a state of collapse. In order to meet this need for information, a Bottom Mapping Work Group was formed in 1985 by the SEAMAP management committee. The work group developed a plan for establishing a bottom-mapping database using historical information obtained from surveys of the study area, and a study was subsequently initiated to describe and characterize hard-bottom resources in the South Atlantic Bight. . The initial segment of the study was conducted by scientists in South Carolina and Georgia (Van Dolah et al., 1994), and the study was continued by scientists in North Carolina (Moser et al., 1995). A total of 23,960 records with information on location and type of bottom were compiled during the first two segments of the study. The SEAMAP Bottom-Mapping Study was initiated by Florida in 1994. The Florida study group has 1) expanded the list of hard-bottom-obligate fishes to 264 taxa, 2) developed a protocol for using specimen-collection-based information to acquire evidence of bottom type, and 3) developed a protocol for incorporating areal data into the database so that the area-data records are equivalent to those of the point and line-segment records incorporated into the database during the first two segments of the study. The Florida group has incorporated an additional 20,787 records from 37 sources with determinations of bottom type into the database. Of these records, 900 are derived from 9 areal databases, primarily from surveys that used side-scan sonar, and an additional secondary data table (Appendix 4) that summarizes those records has been added to the database. Approximately 37% of the grid cells in the Florida study area contain some data on bottom type, and the database now totals 44,747 records.
