There's been a ton of change here at Zeo in the past year.
New product, new website, new content, new people, new everything. We even tore down the walls to create a new space for our ever growing and changing team.
But we're still not done. We're a work in progress, and as part of that work, there's going to be some more changes.
Not willy-nilly, throw-spaghetti-at-the-wall changes, but serious, thought-out changes that will help us adhere to good community support behavior and practices. Because at the end of the day, you are the reason we do it all.
Without you, there simply is no Zeo. We want you to feel supported, no matter the state of flux.
So here's what we've got in mind to make that happen.
You know how you hate having multiple emails? Your work account, your personal account, that one hotmail account you use when companies or salespeople ask for your email account? And good luck remembering which one it linked to Amazon.com.
Companies feel like that when their communication channels get too numerous. Sure, there's a place and need for blogs, a Facebook page, and customer support, but it's easy to have too many. Too many gums up the works, mixes the messages and often leaves large chunks of your clients and customers miss really important stuff when it comes along.
It can also leave you feeling frustrated. "Just where exactly can I connect with someone? Is this channel even monitored? Hello?"
This is not what we want.
So to avoid that mess, we're simplifying and consolidating our communication channels. More specifically, we're shutting down our original Zeology blog on the blog.myzeo.com domain. It's hard to do this (it was our first channel!) but if we're to stick with rule #1, it's time for this one to go.
Rest assured, all that good, juicy content you love is also on myzeo.com. You can find the Expert Answer or Featured Blogger post you wanted. Your coaching links will take you to the correct piece you need. You just won't have to bounce between two sites anymore.
Our new Zeology blog will now handle all sleep info, company notices, product updates, and general awesome that you've come to expect. We'll stick to a schedule (we know you like that) and keep you informed.
Just like our old blog, you can subscribe via RSS; just click on the RSS icon in the left hand menu, and you'll be set!
Another change that's coming is we're going to be asking for your help and input more and more. The Field of Dreams motto of "If you build it, they will come" does not actually work that well when you're trying to build a community, mostly due to it's focus on things rather than people.
We at Zeo want you to feel as though you have access to the best possible sleep data and information you can get without a prescription or a co-pay. We want you to have the support of your peers, your family, your friends, and us as you undertake your own journey to sleep fitness. We want you to feel empowered to ask questions of your doctor, of us, of anyone, about your sleep.
We want all of this for you - and we need your help to make it real.
In the next few days, we'll be asking for your input in a brief survey. You're not obligated to fill it out, but I want to make the case as to why it's worth your time.
The last time we sent one of these out, over a thousand of of you responded. People of all ages, sex, tech savvy, health & wellness levels told us what was working for them and what they now needed from us. The results were quickly shared across the office and set of a chain reaction of hustle, product development, and customer support initiatives, some of which have already launched.
But we wouldn't have been able to do this without you. Instead, we'd still be throwing spaghetti at the wall, trying to guess what you wanted or needed, and wasting time going down millions of rabbit holes.
We need you more than ever.
So we're asking for your help.
The survey that we'll be rolling out in the next few days is an opportunity for you to help shape the development of Zeo: of our services, of the community, of our products, everything. In exchange for your help, we won't harass you. Spam is bad for business.
In fact, the only thing we're going to ask you for is whether or not you'd be interested in influencing service and product development at a deeper level. This is the last box on the survey; check it only if you're interested.
If not, no worries. We're grateful that you took the time to help us out.
Change happens.
Sometimes it's expected. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes, you're the one shaking everything up; other times, you're the one being all shook up.
As humans, we have a love-hate relationship with change. We crave it when things seem stuffy and static, but fear it when it threatens to tear down our walls of security and comfort.
In order to determine which camp a potential change agent or event falls into, we investigate. We poke at it, ask questions, and generally avoid shooting (that guy always ends up dead in the movies, anyway).
Admittedly, we sometimes even run away or plug our fingers into our ears and yell "la, la, la, not listening!"
But change does happen - and those who embrace it can decide how it will impact them.
As always, we're right here with you. There is no such thing as going at it alone.
So poke away. Ask questions. Join the discussion. Be a change-maker, not a change-receiver.
If your changes aren't willy nilly, why the goofy picture? Sleep is serious. Be serious. And come out and say what you're trying so hard not to say. Sheesh. The vague "change", relationship, we hear you, stuff is too fluffy to be real. Be real. Your product is good. You need to be better at communicating so your product doesn't have to talk for you.
The old blog had a much better RSS feed with complete text for each post. This new one only has summaries, so you need to follow a link and read the post online on the website.
Hey Andi,
Great post and I'm glad that Zeo is evolving and putting more of an emphasis on community towards being more "people-centric". It's why I love using Fitocracy - the community
In any case, as an SEO professional - solid move in terms of moving the blog to a subfolder of myzeo.com rather than keeping it on a subdomain (blog.myzeo.com). I was wondering why you guys were spreading your authority over two different domains.
In any case, I'm looking forward to what's in store and what's coming down the product developmenet pipeline!

My Journey |
This blog originally was a sort of journal for me, as I traveled to Africa for the first time a few months ago. Now, I have the incredible opportunity to go to Uganda to study the Bible in a Dicsipleship Training School. I pray that the images, thoughts, and stories you will see here will speak to you, and that God will reveal something special to each and every one who comes across this journal. All the honor and glory to God! |

Buffalo Breeze
Buffalo Breeze – Late Breaking Buffalo News BureauThe Buffalo Breeze is essentially a local Buffalo newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Buffalo, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Buffalo, New York, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Buffalo Breeze.

Quick Tip of the week #4
If your hair got oily really fast and you have not time to wash it, here is one of the solutions I apply to solve this problem! :D
Grab one tablet of regular effervescent aspirin, a spray bottle , a hair dryer and some water! Fill up the spray bottle with water at room temperature, pop in your aspirin, and mix until the whole aspirin is fully dissolved.
Spray this close to the roots and blow dry it as quick as possible :)
And there you go! DIY Dry Shampoo!:))
Good Luck,

I have 2 of these - they are great. Don't worry about how long it will last. Some genius at Sears has replaced the blades with the 3/8 arbor hole with one with a 5/8 arbor hole. When the blade that comes with it wears out, you can use it for a paper-weight or just try to figure out why some dumb#@$ decided that you would not need more than the blade that comes with it. I have used this on 3/4 plywood (when I could buy blades). It is hard to believe how well it handles (with a blade). You probably won't need over 1 battery. I can only imagine how unstable it would be with the blade 1/4 inch of center. If blades were available, I would give it 5 stars and probably buy another one for backup. I would have recommended to a friend, however with no blades available, it might come thru my front window.

The Craftsman C3 Trim Saw makes life easier. It has a 5 1/2 inch blade that spins at 4,500 RPM. It can make cuts up to 1 9/16 inches thick and has a blade beval range of up to 50 degrees. I use this saw to make accurate cuts in thin materials. The built in laser guide helps me a lot when making long cuts in wood and the lite weight of this tool makes for easy transportation. This was the first Craftsman C3 power tool that I bought and it has never failed me.

We bought this for my husband to do a big deck project and it worked great. You need to have an additional battery for big projects of course. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because THIS DOES NOT COME WITH A BATTERY! This is something I didn't realize but we already had compatible tools with batteries. So be sure you purchase a battery if you don't have one or two already.

Haruhi Suzumiya 2 - Ahh, this story is going to go on for a long time, I can tell XD The episodes are so similar because of what's happening, but I find the story interesting
Yugioh Duel Monsters - Decided to start rewatch season 5 because when I first watched it a few months ago, I missed a lot, which I realised when I read the manga XD
Yugioh 5Ds - Not as bad as some make it out to be. I've been watching random episodes on TV for a few days and it actually seems kind of good, so I may try to catch up with it. It's just funny that one of the villians has Bakura's voice actor and he put on an Australian accent, but I'm used to it being British XD
The most recent Anime I watched was episode 8 of "Galaxy Railways"....Via On Demand. I'm going to watch episodes 9 & 10 today.

These are interesting. In a pleasantly anomalous way. When I think of coconut pancakes, I think of something sickly sweet. Something served on a cruise ship or at a really mortifying resort in Cancun. Negative connotations aside, these are substantial and hearty, humbly anchored in whole wheat flour, enlivened by the addition of nutmeg and allspice, and lightened by the presence of coconut milk and a delectable fruit compote. Consider them an eclectic way to sublimate your cravings for a syrupy stack of buttermilk pancakes into a veritable health food.

WINNIPEG -- Even with a 35-save shutout in the books, Washington goalie Braden Holtby wasn't reaching his big blocker around to pat himself on the back Saturday.
The 23-year-old netminder earned his third shutout of the season as the Capitals blanked the Winnipeg Jets, 3-0, before a sellout crowd at MTS Centre.
Mike Ribeiro had a goal and an assist for Washington, while Matt Hendricks and Troy Brouwer also scored.
Holtby preferred to share the credit for the tidy victory as the Caps stopped the streaking Jets, who had won five of their last six games.
"Goalies usually get too much credit for the good and too much blame for the bad; that's how it goes," Holtby said. "You could see in a game like this; it's not a shutout for myself. That's a shutout for the team.
We earned it as a group."
Washington improved to 8-11-1 on the season, while Winnipeg fell to 10-10-1.
Holtby was particularly sharp in the first period, facing a 15-shot barrage as the Jets came out firing. But the majority of those blasts came from spots outside the danger zone, he said.
"That's the way the system is supposed to be played," Holtby said. "There might be some high shot totals ... but it's a lot of perimeter stuff. It frustrated teams when they can't get into the house area, the slot."
Capitals coach Adam Oates agreed.

Well, the City by the Bay got sweet revenge this week when Airbus announced it would build a $600 million plant at Mobile's Brookley Aeroplex. This will create 2,500 construction jobs to get it up and running and will provide employment for around 1,000 when it is fully operational.
Airbus, which has long sought to establish itself in the United States, gets just that. U.S. manufacturing gets a boost. And Alabama takes another step toward becoming a significant player in the aerospace industry.
The Brookley complex is already home to several aerospace companies, and with Airbus' arrival, the state will surely attract more. Indeed, even Boeing, whose VP once spoke so disparagingly about Alabama workers, employs several hundred in Huntsville. Some forecast Airbus could have the same transforming effect as the coming of Mercedes-Benz in Vance in 1993.
The new plant will build the A320, a short- and medium-haul plane widely flown by Delta Air Lines, US Airways and others. American Airlines ordered 260 of them last year at a cost of around $88 million each. Boeing is ramping up production of its 737, which is similar to the A320, so the competition between the two should be fierce.
Meanwhile, congratulations are in order for former Gov. Bob Riley, who kept courting Airbus even when it lost the tanker contract; to the administration of Gov. Robert Bentley for finalizing the deal; for our congressional delegation who threw their support behind the effort; for Mobile officials who aggressively sold the advantages of their city; and to David Bronner, head of the Retirement Systems of Alabama, whose invest-in-Alabama strategy helped pave the way for Airbus.
Good job. Now let's put people to work.

Ocean Solutions online course
Oceans Solutions is a free 6-week online course offered by the University of Western Australia (UWA) Class2Go programme and taught by Carlos M. Duarte, Director of the Oceans Institute and Research Professor with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC),
This course focuses particularly on the Indian Ocean, which is arguably the least explored of the world's oceans. However, and like many other oceans, it is under stress from overfishing, pollution, climate change and sea level rise.
Students will analyse and discuss the great challenges humanity will face, and is already facing, due to the increase of the world's population and address how an intelligent and innovative use of the ocean can sustainably and safely deliver the key resources necessary to meet the challenge of providing fair livelihoods to 9 billion people by 2050.
Professor Duarte will argue that while we live on a planet mostly covered with water, we get most of our resources from land, and we need to reverse that thinking.

Diversification of learning platforms
A learning platorm is an integrated set of resources, tools, and interactive online services for teachers, learners, and others involved in education to support and enhance educational delivery and management (Wikipedia, 2011). The term 'learning platform' often refers to a number of tools and services available in a range of products known by various names, including learning management system (LMS), virtual learning environment (VLE), course management system (CMS) and learning content management system (LCMS) providing learning experiences and content management. The term 'learning platform' also includes the personal learning environment (PLE) that helps learners to keep control and manage their own learning by personalizing the content and process.

A miniaturização das tecnologias, e autêntica revolução ao nível da conectividade, permite-nos ter num equipamento de reduzidas dimensões (PDA, Telemóveis 3G, iPod ...) um conjunto de funcionalidade dos computadores (nomeadamente leitura de ficheiros comuns, execução de programas e acesso à Internet), de dispositivos de captura de imagens e vídeo, comunicações (telemóvel e Internet) e ainda sistemas de localização por sistemas de geoposicionamento global (GPS)...
A par da miniaturização de equipamentos e democratização do acesso aos mesmos (devido à redução de preços), verifica-se um grande incremento na disponibilização de informação e serviços para este tipo de dispositivos quer ao nível da Internet quer das Televisões e dos média em geral.
First International Workshop on Ambient Gaming
Ambient games', i.e. innovative game designs incorporating ambient intelligence characteristics, such as context-awareness, personalisation, adaptation and anticipation, may lead to a whole new player experience, for instance by allowing players to move around freely, without being bound by a computer screen or another device, by using information coming from sensors. Ambient games support casual play, i.e. play and games are seamlessly integrated with daily activities. Ambient gaming implies taking the everyday stuff of life and turning it into a game, and yet that gaming is not limited to a single device at a single time, but is intertwined with daily activities.
e-lyco est un projet territorial ambitieux qui a comme objectif d'offrir à l'ensemble des lycéens et des collégiens de la Région des Pays de la Loire, ainsi qu'à leurs parents et à leurs enseignants, un environnement numérique de travail (ENT) commun d'ici 2014.
Porté conjointement par le rectorat de l'Académie de Nantes, la région des Pays de la Loire, les cinq départements de la Loire-Atlantique, du Maine-et-Loire, de la Mayenne, de la Sarthe et de la Vendée, ce projet est conduit dans le cadre d'un partenariat. Les représentants de l'enseignement privé (URADEL) et de l'enseignement agricole, adhérents à cette démarche, sont associés au pilotage du projet.
Inscrit dans les orientations nationales et dans les axes du projet d'académie CAP 2015, le projet e-lyco est à ce jour unique quant à son ampleur puisqu'il s'applique à tous les collèges et lycées publics et privés sous contrat d'association et les établissements agricoles de l'académie soit 732 établissements et 321 000 élèves. Il est progressivement déployé sur cinq ans depuis janvier 2010. À terme, il devrait toucher près d'un million d'utilisateurs ; pour chaque élève, on estime que plus de 3 personnes seront amenées à établir une connexion sur la plateforme e-lyco.
Commun sur l'ensemble du territoire mais personnalisable par chacun des partenaires, cet environnement va faciliter la continuité éducative collège/lycée des élèves. Les enseignants, où qu'ils soient nommés, disposeront d'un ensemble de services identiques. Les parents auront la possibilité de suivre la scolarité de leurs enfants quels que soient leur affectation et leur niveau de scolarisation, de la 6ème à la terminale, jusqu'aux formations post-bac des lycées.
Ce chantier s'inscrit dans le cadre plus large de la modernisation du système éducatif et de la mise en place progressive d'une e-administration, favorisant la dématérialisation des procédures. À ce titre, il participe de la logique du développement durable.

eLearning progress in higher education: The voice of experience. Interview with Tony Bates
New technologies involve new methods of teaching, learning and training. However, the universities lack well-defined structures to accomplish it. Who should teach/train e-teachers?
Good question. The normal practice is to establish a Teaching and Learning or Professional Development centre with experts on pedagogy and educational technology. However attendance at workshops organized by these centers is usually voluntary, and often the professors who need it most don't come. Some faculties/academic departments delegate a 'respected' academic within the department to be responsible for professional development of their colleagues, particularly newly appointed young professors. These are both what I would call weak approaches, although better than nothing.
What is really needed (and won't happen) is for professors to be formally accredited following training in teaching. This would best be done by radically reforming the post-graduate training to include training in teaching as well as research as part of the Ph.D. process.
Is the scientific research now a hybrid process (in terms of using the informational resources)?
I believe that in knowledge-based societies, all teaching and research needs to include the use of information technology, because this is how knowledge is now being created, stored and organized.
What is the role of learning paradigms and how have they been modified by elearning environment?
I believe that instructional design (I prefer the term: design of learning environments) is an absolute requirement for quality teaching with technology. Technology raises the skill level for teaching, because to use technology well, you need to know its strengths and weaknesses with respect to face-to-face teaching, and this requires an understanding of how people learn as well as the potential of technology for teaching. Unfortunately in most applications of e-learning, there is no change to the learning paradigm. The technology is added on to the existing classroom paradigm. 'True' blended learning requires a re-design, to ensure that the unique benefits of the classroom/campus are combined with the unique benefits of asynchronous learning. Students can spend much more time 'on task' with well-designed digital learning materials, thus freeing up professors' time for direct or online interaction with students.
What is the role of didactic discourse in e learning environment?
Again, this is important in most subjects, although it does reflect a particular view on education – that learning is socially constructed – that not all professors share. Again, in an online environment, to ensure that discussion is focused and academic, rather than incoherent and shallow, the instructor/teacher has an important role to play, ensuring that the discussion stays on topic, that content/learning materials are drawn on to support the discussion, and the discussion operates at an academic level. There are several good books on this (e.g. Paloff and Pratt, Salmon, Harasim, etc.)
All the education systems raised around libraries from oldest times to the present. The library had the mission to form to inform and now we can say that it is a real provider of electronic resources for users on and off campus. They have to up to date with the new learning curricula and provide information resources according to it. What is in your opinion the role of the university library for e learning?
University libraries are critical for successful e learning, but their roles and ways of working are changing. I believe that all courses should have a librarian as part of the course team, both to help with identifying and organizing online resources, and for providing student help in locating information digitally. Education in information literacy and especially on evaluating the quality of source material, as well as how to find, analyze, organize and apply digital information linked to subject area needs should be a joint activity of teacher and librarian.
Does the course presence and virtual teaching change the type of education (distance or e learning)?
Every teacher now has to make a choice: where on the continuum of e learning should this course or program be? Just supplementing my classroom teaching; true blended learning; or fully online? The answer to the question depends on two factors: what kinds of student am I trying to reach? What is the nature of the subject material? Full-time students coming out of high school probably need more face-to-face teaching than full-time, mature working graduates who want updating or post-graduate courses. Some things are quicker and easier to do face-to-face; others are better done online, depending on the subject matter. However, it should be possible to design a course that meets all these needs.
We can not study medicine or arts in e-learning environment;one need practice and skills and the other talent. Is this a forbidden territory for elearning or elearning "fits" better to training for this fields?
No. In fact, medicine is one of the areas where e learning is used most in my university (UBC). A lot of medicine is digitally based and it is essential then that this is built into the curriculum and integrated within an e-learning environment. E learning is a critical component especially of the clinical placement of students in their third year, as they and their proctors (local doctors) are linked back to the university through the Internet.
What are in your opinion the great barriers in elearning set up?
In order of importance:
- Fear and loathing on the part of more senior professors due to their lack of understanding of technology and pedagogy.
- Senior management of universities who do not understand the changing requirements of knowledge-based societies and the importance of ICTs within all professions, and when they do recognize this, their failure to set and implement strategies to support the integration of ICTs within teaching throughout the university, which usually requires finding new or reallocating existing resources to make this happen. Too often it is left to individual professors to innovate without organizational help and support.
- In some countries lack of access to and/or high cost of technology.
Should the specialists analyze deeper the importance of independent learning?
There should be a progression from dependent to independent to inter-dependent or collaborative learning. This should be built into the design of whole programs, so that students progress through these stages in a supported manner
Is media literacy teaching and learning a serious condition of the elearning pedagogy?
Depends what you mean by media literacy. Most youngsters have enough media literacy when they come to university (the professors often don't). Students' ability to use technology needs to be built on and modified to meet academic requirements.
What is the e-teacher status comparing to the "old/traditional" one?
Still poor, I guess, because without re-design, they have to spend more time teaching and hence less time on research (or family). Also there are no rewards (appointment, promotion, etc.) for doing elearning.
Eine Lerngemeinschaft für Teens auf einer virtuellen Insel – Das Pilotprojekt "Schome Park" im Teen Second Life
Die Partizipationsdaten zeigten, dass etwa ein Viertel der beteiligten Schüler fast die gesamte in "Schome Park" verbrachte Zeit ausmachten. Die Häufigkeit ging dabei mit einer intensiven Nutzung des Wikis und des Forums einher. Die von den Nutzern verfassten Berichte und andere Wiki-Dokumente zeugten von einem sehr hohen Niveau an SL-Kompetenz.
Die Informationszeitalter-Kompetenzen wurden anhand eines Rahmens mit vier vierdimensionalen Ebenen bewertet. Was die Kommunikation betrifft, erreichten alle teilnehmenden Schüler die erste Ebene, und eine große Minderheit initiierte und moderierte Diskussionen und/oder organisierte Veranstaltungen. Was die Gruppenarbeit betrifft, waren schon früh Spannungen zu erkennen; dennoch stellte eine beträchtliche Anzahl von Teilnehmern ihre Fähigkeit unter Beweis, auf höchstem Niveau aktiv an der Lösung organisatorischer Probleme mitzuwirken. Mit Unterstützung bewegten sich die Schüler von hierarchischen Ansätzen hin zur Bildung von Führungsgruppen mit Bereichsbeauftragten, also zur Verteilung von Führungspositionen auf der ersten Ebene. Ein umfangreiches und vielfältiges Veranstaltungsprogramm zeugt von einer kreativitätsfördernden Atmosphäre, die dem selbständigen Entdecken, der Zusammenarbeit und der Bereitschaft, aus Fehlern zu lernen, zuträglich ist.
Unsere Erfahrung deutet darauf hin, wie wichtig es ist, die Rolle der Lehrkräfte in dieser Art von innovativem Umfeld zu verstehen: nicht als Inhaber relevanten Wissens, sondern als Vermittler und Förderer eines Kooperations-Ethos. Wir kommen zu dem Schluss, dass es, trotz vielfacher verbundener Herausforderungen, zweifellos erforderlich ist, die faszinierenden neuen Möglichkeiten für pädagogische Neugestaltungen zu unterstützen. Schüler, die sich auf der virtuellen Insel, im Wiki und im Forum engagierten, wiesen in den Bereichen Kommunikation, Führungspotenzial, Gruppenarbeit und Kreativität ein höheres Niveau an Informationszeitalter-Kompetenzen auf.

Supporting collaborative or cooperative learning in the online learning environment using structured role-play activities
Recent articles by Maja Pivec and Olga Dziabenko have highlighted the role that structured game-based learning can play in supporting collaborative learning. This area is currently being explored within the European e-learning community through initiatives such as the UNI-GAME project. Similarly, recent action research conducted by CREATE as part of the Minerva-sponsored RAMIE project has examined the part that structured and scenario-based role-play activity can play in promoting collaboration and cooperation between geographically dispersed online learners. This recently completed project work also sought to demonstrate that, in some contexts, role-play, like forms of game-play, can support authentic learning and assessment within the online learning environment.
The RAMIE experience: The use of structured, scenario-based, role-play to develop mentoring skills in the online learning environment
CREATE's pilot work within the RAMIE project centered on an existent online course, 'Supporting Employee Development through Mentoring' delivered through the Suffolk Institute of Technology. This course is delivered wholly online, via a virtual learning environment (WebCT) with tutorial and technical support provided online, or via telephone if necessary. The course seeks to introduce learners to all aspects of the theory and practice of workplace mentoring and is targeted at adult learners who wish to develop mentoring skills for application within the workplace. During the duration of the RAMIE project 62 students from across the eastern region of the United Kingdom were enrolled on the course.
The first section of the mentoring course focuses on the theory of mentoring. Thereafter the course culminates in a final formal assessment task based around the experience of participating in a mentoring role-play exercise, again conducted wholly online. The role-play exercise is designed to provide learners with an authentic experience of mentoring and an opportunity to demonstrate and practice recently acquired theoretical knowledge and skills.
The online role-play is organised by allocating two students, both at a similar point of progress in the course, the roles of mentor and mentee for each other. The role-play activity is conducted anonymously via email, with participants working within prescribed roles and scenarios (names, age, workplace, position, issues and responsibilities). Students assume the role of either a recently recruited or promoted employee, or an established manager (with roles of mentee and mentor respectively) and begin a staged mentoring process with the objective of supporting the new starter in the early stages of their new career.
The online role-play is facilitated and discreetly monitored by tutors and continues until the process of mentoring the newly recruited or promoted employee has achieved a series of specific aims. The principal task of the tutor through this process is to monitor correspondence to ensure authenticity and that learning objectives and outcomes are met. Most pairs of role-playing students conduct the exercise over several weeks, often exchanging considerable correspondence. Feedback from learners indicates that they enjoy and value the experience of online role-play, and feel that it provides an opportunity to develop and express newly acquired skills and knowledge in a realistic, but safe, context.
Findings and observations
Our experience suggests that structured, scenario-based, role-play activities can successfully support collaborative and cooperative learning in the online learning environment. If well designed, they can also support authentic learning and assessment. Furthermore, although some subjects clearly offer richer prospects for the application of role-play scenarios than others, the use of such approaches can also allow for the development and assessment of a wider range of knowledge competencies and skills than would be typical in the case of learners operating online and at a distance from tutors and fellow students. Mentoring and specifically e-mentoring provide a context where, in addition to theoretic knowledge competencies, it is also possible to use the online learning environment, and its collaborative possibilities, to develop and assess soft skills.
The online learning environment can support collaborative or cooperative learning within distance learning communities in ways previously not possible. Nevertheless, the development of collaborative learning opportunities, whether through structured role-play or game-based activities, requires imaginative and detailed planning and skilful management from course developers and teachers respectively. This is particularly true where learning activity is often asynchronous and working partnerships or groups are established among distance learners of differing personalities and potentially varying abilities. ICT Technology can support collaborative learning in ways formerly unthinkable, but as Brian Hudson has recently highlighted, it is ultimately the application of innovative pedagogical practices that determine whether collaborative learning fails or succeeds in the online learning environment.

Heritage Trail construction to begin this summer
A map shows the path of the first phase of Mesquite's Heritage Trail. The city of Mesquite is in the final design portion of Phase I of its Heritage Trail project. The city hopes to begin construction this summer. - Image courtesy of the city of Mesquite
By Kenny Green, email@example.com
The city of Mesquite is planning to start construction on the first phase of its Mesquite Heritage Trail project this summer. The project will involve creating the spine for a hike-and-bike trail that will span the city. Dallas County recently indicated it had funds available to assist with a second phase of the trail.
The first phase is currently in the latter stages of the design phase and the city anticipates putting the project out for bid in April. If things go as planned, the city will begin construction in late May.
"We hope to have construction started by the beginning of the summer," said Lauren Miller, city of Mesquite park planner.
The city was recently informed that Dallas County would have funds available to partner with Mesquite to build the second phase of the project. The second phase will connect the first phase of the trail to an existing trail near DeBusk Park, which was the last trail project the city and county partnered to build.
"Dallas County has funds to help the city of Mesquite develop the Heritage Trail Phase II, which picks up at the west side of the Town Center bridge where Phase I leaves off," Miller said. "The county has funds they allocate to municipalities to develop the Dallas County Trail System, which we are part of. We submitted our plans as part of the county trails plan, and when funds become available they allocate them to projects that are part of that plan."
The second phase is 1.1 miles in length and will begin at the town center bridge and follow the existing walkway to the Mesquite Greenbelt, where it will pass under all of the bridges along U.S. 80 before connecting with the existing trail near the Kids Quest playground at DeBusk Park.
"Phase II was originally going to target another crosstown corridor, but when the county saw we needed to expand Phase I to make the connection to the existing trail near DeBusk, they were in favor of funding that," Miller said. "The county commissioners will decide whether to approve the allocation to the city of Mesquite. Then the city will be responsible for coming up with the design. The county will then approve the design and they will administer the construction contract. The trail is extremely important to the city and county."
The county will fund $2.5 million of the project. The city has set aside $640,000 in tax increment financing funds for Phase II. Phase I is completely funded through an 80/20 match as part of funds made available from the construction of U.S. 121.
Miller said that the city would like to continue to expand the spine of the trail system as part of Phase III of the project, which has yet to begin the planning process.

In the News: Amphibians in the U.S. declining at alarming rate
What's the World's Favourite Species?
Find out here.Kingdom | Animalia |
Phylum | Cnidaria |
Class | Anthozoa |
Order | Scleractinia |
Family | Pocilloporidae |
Genus | Pocillopora (1) |
This hardy, widespread and common coral can easily be identified by the presence of wart-like growths, called verrucae, which cover the colonies (3). The colonies can be fairly solid and dome-shaped, or branching with branches that are either flattened and blade-like, or fine and irregular (4). Species of Pocillopora corals vary greatly in appearance, depending on environmental conditions. For example, species situated on shallow reefs with heavy wave action are often stunted, whilst those in deep water are thin and open. The tentacles born on each polyp are usually only extended at night (3).
TopThe polyps of Pocillopora corals are hermaphrodite; they each possess four sets of male and four sets of female gonads (3). Pocillopora can reproduce asexually as well as sexually. Unlike many corals, the coral larvae develop inside the polyps rather than in the water column. When the mature larvae are released into the water, the larvae can remain free-swimming for several weeks before settling on the substrate. They can even become partly polyp-like during this period, enabling feeding to occur before settling and commencing skeleton formation (3). Pocillopora can also successfully reproduce asexually via fragmentation (6).
Pocillopora corals are hermatypic corals, and therefore have microscopic algae (zooxanthellae) living within their tissues. Through photosynthesis, these symbiotic algae produce energy-rich molecules that the coral polyps can use as nutrition (3). In return, the coral provides the zooxanthellae with protection, and access to sunlight. The wide geographic distribution of Pocillopora corals is probably due to rafting, whereby small colonies attach to floating objects, such as pumice, where they can travel great distance to remote places (4). The polyps can also obtain nutrition by capturing tiny prey using their tentacles.
TopPocillopora eydouxi is distributed widely in the Indian and Pacific Oceans (4).
TopCauliflower corals occur in habitats ranging from exposed reef fronts to protected lagoons and lower reef slopes (4).
TopPocillopora eydouxi is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List (1) and listed on Appendix II of CITES (2).
TopCauliflower corals face the many threats that are impacting coral reefs globally. It is estimated that 20 percent of the world's coral reefs have already been effectively destroyed and show no immediate prospects of recovery, and 24 percent of the world's reefs are under imminent risk of collapse due to human pressures. These human impacts include poor land management practices that are releasing more sediment, nutrients and pollutants into the oceans and stressing the fragile reef ecosystem. Over fishing has 'knock-on' effects that results in the increase of macro-algae that can out-compete and smother corals, and fishing using destructive methods physically devastates the reef. A further potential threat is the increase of coral bleaching events, as a result of global climate change (5). Another potential threat is over-harvesting. Pocillopora is one of four genera that constitute the majority of the dead coral trade. Indonesia and Fiji have export quotas for this coral, but in 1997, the amount of Pocillopora traded greatly exceeded the quota, showing a failure to regulate the trade (6). However, Pocillopora is thought to be fairly resilient to collection due to their success at asexual reproduction through fragmentation (6).
TopPocillopora corals are listed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which means that trade in this species should be carefully regulated (2). Pocillopora is one of the genera that can be fairly successively cultivated, due to its fast growth rate and the ease at which it can be propagated by fragmentation. Growing tips are collected from large colonies in the wild, and the fragments are cultivated in the sea suspended from fishing lines until large enough to be sold in the aquarium trade. Whilst the initial collection does have impact on wild populations, cultivation poses less threat than complete wild harvesting (6). Pocillopora corals will form part of the marine community in many marine protected areas (MPAs), which offer coral reefs a degree of protection, and there are many calls from non-governmental organisations for larger MPAs to ensure the persistence of these unique and fascinating ecosystems (5).
