    He says 'effect sizes' are much the best way of answering the question 'what has the greatest influence on student learning'. An effect-size of 1.0 is typically associated with: * advancing learner's achievement by one year, or improving the rate of learning by 50%, * a correlation between some variable (e.g., amount of homework) and achievement of approximately .50. * average students receiving that treatment exceeding 84% of students not receiving that treatment. * A two grade leap in GCSE, e.g. from a C to an A grade. An effect size of 1.0 is clearly enormous! (It is defined as an increase of one standard deviation)

    a one-size-fits-all approach to the provision of portfolios across a range of subject disciplines may not deliver the outcomes an institution desires. http://www.eportfolios.ac.uk/ePET?pid=32 During the course of the project it became clear that the aim of providing a 'one size fits all' e-portfolio was a trifle ambitious Using e-portfolios in legal education http://www.ukcle.ac.uk/research/projects/eportfolios.html

google google sites sites fix line-height height spacing

shared by Matthew Ragan on 20 Sep 10 - No Cached
  • I've frequently run into the same problem.  When I use a font like Georgia with a size of 18, the bottom of some of the letters run into the top of the letters on the line below.   It looks ugly.I looked up the standard HTML & CSS code:  the command line-height: xxx% is available.The HTML source for my page had a section that read:<div style="text-align: left;"><font style="font-family: times new roman,serif;" size="5">House UpFront takes the wonderful accents and accessories from Shops <br>I modified it to include:<div style="text-align: left; line-height: 200%;"><font style="font-family: times new roman,serif;" size="5">House UpFront takes the wonderful accents and accessories from Shops <br>This corrected the vertical spacing problem.  Sorry I could not find a more elegant solution.  But at least this corrects the problem.Barry

  • RANDBETWEEN (bottom, top)Returns an integer random number between bottom and top (inclusive).
  • ROUND(number, count)Rounds the given number to a certain number of decimal places according to valid mathematical criteria. Count (optional) is the number of the places to which the value is to be rounded. If the count parameter is negative, only the whole number portion is rounded. It is rounded to the place indicated by the count.
  • RAND()Returns a random number between 0 and 1.
  • AVERAGE(number_1, number_2, ... number_30)Returns the average of the arguments. Number_1, number_2, ... number_30 are numerical values or ranges. Text is ignored.
  • CONFIDENCE(alpha, STDEV, size)Returns the (1-alpha) confidence interval for a normal distribution. Alpha is the level of the confidence interval. STDEV is the standard deviation for the total population. Size is the size of the total population.
  • CORREL(data_1, data_2)Returns the correlation coefficient between two data sets. Data_1 is the first data set. Data_2 is the second data set.
  • COUNT(value_1, value_2, ... value_30)Counts how many numbers are in the list of arguments. Text entries are ignored. Value_1, value_2, ... value_30 are values or ranges which are to be counted.
  • COUNTA(value_1, value_2, ... value_30)Counts how many values are in the list of arguments. Text entries are also counted, even when they contain an empty string of length 0. If an argument is an array or reference, empty cells within the array or reference are ignored. value_1, value_2, ... value_30 are up to 30 arguments representing the values to be counted.
  • MAX(number_1, number_2, ... number_30)Returns the maximum value in a list of arguments. Number_1, number_2, ... number_30 are numerical values or ranges.
  • MEDIAN(number_1, number_2, ... number_30)Returns the median of a set of numbers. Number_1, number_2, ... number_30 are values or ranges, which represent a sample. Each number can also be replaced by a reference.
  • MIN(number_1, number_2, ... number_30)Returns the minimum value in a list of arguments. Number_1, number_2, ... number_30 are numerical values or ranges.
  • MODE(number_1, number_2, ... number_30)Returns the most common value in a data set. Number_1, number_2, ... number_30 are numerical values or ranges. If several values have the same frequency, it returns the smallest value. An error occurs when a value does not appear twice.
  • PERCENTILE(data, alpha)Returns the alpha-percentile of data values in an array. Data is the array of data. Alpha is the percentage of the scale between 0 and 1.
  • QUARTILE(data, type)Returns the quartile of a data set. Data is the array of data in the sample. Type is the type of quartile. (0 = Min, 1 = 25%, 2 = 50% (Median), 3 = 75% and 4 = Max.)
  • RANK(value, data, type)Returns the rank of the given Value in a sample. Data is the array or range of data in the sample. Type (optional) is the sequence order, either ascending (0) or descending (1).
  • STDEV(number_1, number_2, ... number_30)Estimates the standard deviation based on a sample. Number_1, number_2, ... number_30 are numerical values or ranges representing a sample based on an entire population.
  • STDEVP(number_1, number_2, ... number_30) Calculates the standard deviation based on the entire population. Number_1, number_2, ... number_30 are numerical values or ranges representing a sample based on an entire population.

    Charts and graphs have found their way into news, presentations, and comics with users from art to design to statistics. The design principles for these data graphics will vary depending on what you're using it for. Making something for a presentation? You'll want to keep it extremely simple and avoid using a lot of text. Designing a graphic for a newspaper? You'll have to deal with size constraints and try to explain the important parts of your graphic.

  • There are some college experiences that don't fit this mold. Many seminars and advanced courses are based on hands-on projects and small-scale discussions with professors. Those are undoubtedly valuable. But core classes tend not to be taught that way. The very classes that should establish a student's base understanding of a subject are taught like assembly lines—lecture, problem set, exam—with no quality control. Sure, the product's quality is graded, but nothing is done about defective understanding as the student is pushed down the line.
  • Students don't retain anything because they didn't intuitively understand it to begin with.
  • Why aren't we using the 300-person gathering at 10 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday as an opportunity for active peer-to-peer instruction rather than a passive, one-size-fits-all lecture?
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Then the professor is freed to be an active participant in an interactive, peer-to-peer problem-solving powwow in the classroom.
  • Ten years from today, students will be learning at their own pace, with all relevant data being collected on how to optimize their learning and the content itself. Grades and transcripts will be replaced with real-time reports and analytics on what a student actually knows and doesn't know.
