Characterization of Mesoporous Materials Via Fluorescent Spectroscopic Methods

There are three components that need to be understood to create new porous membranes for industrial applications. 1.) To understand appropriate synthesis conditions to create a successful membrane system. 2.) To understand how the microstructures generated in synthesis affect the transport properties of that system. 3) To be able to characterize the heterogeneity of the fabricated membrane’s transport and physical structure. Presented within this manuscript are new characterization methods to increase the understanding in membrane technology. It will be demonstrated that the novel application of standard fluorescent methods and the development of new fluorescent methods techniques allows for the measurement of molecular interactions and transport properties on length scales capable of providing valuable information in the field of membrane science, as well as expanding new applications in fluorescent techniques

Evaluating Critical Success Factors of Distributed Learning

Distributed learning presents universities and colleges with the ability to expand their reach into new markets and stay competitive and relevant in this dynamic information-based global economy. Through the effective use of distributed learning tools, location and cost are no longer barriers to earning a degree and enable universities and colleges to reach working adults and international students as well as further penetrate the traditional student market. This paper highlights the evolving transformation of Distance learning models to the evolving technology based distributed learning modes. While each institution has its own mission and goal for distance learning and distributed learning, there are certain things that need to be considered while developing or implementing a curriculum that involves education at a distance. This paper explores distance learning from a macro perspective and suggests some critical success factors that will aid faculty and institutions in distance learning and distributed learning development

Workshop: Bloom\u27s Taxonomy Analysis Software

This workshop provides participants the opportunity to discuss their course objectives in accordance with the parameters suggested by Bloom. Bloom’s Taxonomy is established, well-known, comprehensive, hierarchical in design and contains action verbs which succinctly describe learning outcomes. When educators develop instructional objectives, they are typically asked to categorize or label each one according the Bloom’s level of cognitive complexity. It provides educators with a common frame of reference that clarifies various types of learning outcomes. It illustrates the wide array of learning outcomes that can be included in any given instructional area. Of primary importance is the development of learning objectives and the measures to determine accomplishment of those objectives. Participants are invited to bring course objectives in both print and digital formats. If desired, course objectives may be discussed and evaluated for compliance with Bloom’s BCD (behavior, condition, degree) format. Additionally, software designed to analyze the course objectives’ level within Bloom’s cognitive domain will be demonstrated and participants will be encouraged to have their course objectives analyzed using this technology. This software technology was developed by Baker and Papp and is a continuation of studies previously presented at SAIS and other conferences
