Scaling up a learning technology strategy: Supporting student/faculty teams in learnerācentred design
Many postāsecondary institutions are experiencing the challenge of scaling up their learning technology initiatives without a matching increase in staff resources. This mismatch is particularly acute at the design stage of projects, where both domain knowledge and instructional design expertise are needed. To address this, we are developing structures and tools for a small cadre of instructional design experts to support a growing number of learning technology projects developed by student/faculty teams. One of these tools, the LearnerāCentred Design Idea Kit, is an interactive WWWābased resource now in a fourth iteration of use in an undergraduate course, Designing Learning Activities with Interactive Multimedia. The course and the LCD Idea Kit which supports it are part of a larger institutional strategy to introduce technologyāenabled change in the learning process, working ābottomāupā with individual faculty and using the LCD Idea Kit to scale up the course across multiple university departments. In this paper, we describe the course and the Kit in detail and provide and overview of our current status and lessons learned
Measurement of the CKM angle Ī³ using the B<sup>Ā±</sup> ā D*h<sup>Ā±</sup> channels
A measurement of the CP-violating observables from BĀ±āDāKĀ± and BĀ±āDāĻĀ± decays is presented, where Dā(D) is an admixture of Dā0 and DĀÆā0 (D0 and DĀÆ0) states and is reconstructed through the decay chains DāāDĻ0/Ī³ and DāK0SĻ+Ļā/K0SK+Kā. The measurement is performed by analysing the signal yield variation across the D decay phase space and is independent of any amplitude model. The data sample used was collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions and corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fbā1 at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The CKM angle Ī³ is determined to be (69+13ā14)ā using the measured CP-violating observables. The hadronic parameters rDāKĀ±B,rDāĻĀ±B,Ī“DāKĀ±B,Ī“DāĻĀ±B, which are the ratios and strong phase differences between favoured and suppressed BĀ± decays, are also reported
