Blessings and Curses: Israel and Lebanon\u27s Maritime Boundary Dispute in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea

This note argues that Israel and Lebanon should submit their maritime border dispute to an arbitral tribunal under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Before submitting the dispute to the tribunal, the two countries should agree upon an exclusive appellate remedy to be used in the event that at least one country is unsatisfied with the decision of the arbitrators. Alternatively, Israel and Lebanon could employ other dispute resolution options under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, or submit to the International Court of Justice. It is important that Israel and Lebanon find a speedy resolution to their maritime conflict so that both countries can fully exploit their offshore natural resources without the need to worry about violating international law and encroaching upon the other state\u27s Exclusive Economic Zone

Finding the Right Technology to Support Learning Outcomes

This 90-minute seminar, led by Ike Shibley, PhD, offers proven strategies for technology to increase flexibility and access, improve student performance, and manage costs. Ivan A. Shibley, Jr. (Ike), Ph.D., is associate professor of chemistry at Penn State Berks, a small four-year college within the Penn State system. He has won both local and university-wide awards for his teaching including the Eisenhower Award presented to a tenured Penn State faculty member who exhibits excellent teaching as well as mentoring other teachers. Ike became involved in blended learning as part of an 18-month project to completely redesign the general chemistry course at Berks. As part of a team of six professionals who invested over 1,000 man-hours in the redesign Ike helped provide the pedagogical and subject matter expertise to help guide the redesign. The course has now been delivered in a blended format for three years with an average GPA almost 25% higher than previous years. Ike has taught the three sections of the course and is currently co-author- ing a manuscript about the results. Ike recently redesigned a nutrition course that was taught in a blended format that met only half the number of hours of a traditional course with comparable grades. He has presented his work on blended learning at numerous professional conferences and has become an advocate of blended learning.https://knowledge.e.southern.edu/onlineseminars/1007/thumbnail.jp
