UDL is a framework that addresses barriers to learning by providing flexible goals, methods, materials and assessments to meet varied learner needs. It encourages designing instruction from the start with customizable options to allow all learners to progress at their own level. An effective classroom promotes engagement, limits distractions, and has a versatile layout to support individual and group work. Assessment should be flexible and help students demonstrate learning through various strategies and tools.

This document discusses several topics related to gene regulation and transcription factors. It summarizes research that found mutations accumulating in gene regulatory elements in colorectal cancer samples. While transcription factors like CTCF and cohesins were generally protected from mutations, tumors with more CTCF site mutations tended to have more mutations throughout their genomes. Another study identified a new structural role for the ATF5 protein in cell division within the centrosome, in addition to its role regulating gene expression. Failure of centrosome duplication can lead to issues with cell division and conditions like cancer. Understanding these transcription factors and their roles is important for learning about disease mechanisms and developing treatments.

GTU's International Experience Program (IEP) allows GTU students to study abroad at partner universities in their final year of study. The program aims to give students international experience and exposure to foreign cultures and education systems. Students take two of their final year subjects at the partner university, and if passed, receive credit from GTU. GTU covers tuition and lab costs, while students pay for living expenses. Since 2011, over 800 GTU students from fields like engineering, management, and pharmacy have participated in IEP at universities in Canada, USA, and Germany through expanding partnerships. The program has grown each year and benefits students by lightening their final year course load.

The document describes a scenario where Earth is becoming uninhabitable due to environmental problems. NASA scientists have developed two plans to ensure humanity's survival: Plan A involves using a wormhole to transport people to a new planet, while Plan B involves sending frozen embryos to another habitable planet. 12 volunteers went through the wormhole to explore 12 possible planets, and 3 reported back to Earth. A new team is being sent to explore these 3 planets further and implement one of the survival plans. The document then provides background information on wormholes, black holes, gravitational time dilation, and tesseracts.

MOOCs are massive open online courses that are offered free online. They cover a wide range of subjects and are similar to university courses but do not typically offer academic credit. The purpose of MOOCs is to increase access to education and drive down costs while maximizing social and educational benefits. There are two main types of MOOCs: xMOOCs which focus on video lectures and cMOOCs which emphasize collaboration. While MOOCs increase access to education, completion rates tend to be low and they lack face-to-face interaction.

MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. It is a course of study made available over the Internet without charge to a large number of people. There are two main types of MOOCs: xMOOCs which are typically offered through partnerships with universities and focus on recorded expert lectures, and cMOOCs which emphasize connecting learners and are built on open educational resources. The term MOOC was coined in 2008 in response to an open online course designed by Athabasca University and the National Research Council of Canada.

MOOC's are massive open online courses that are free for anyone to take. They originated in 2008 when a course offered by Siemens and Downes was opened up to a worldwide audience beyond the original 25 enrolled students. There are two main types - cMOOCs which emphasize connections between learners, and xMOOCs offered by universities in partnership with profit organizations. The main purpose of MOOC's is to provide educational opportunities to students regardless of location or ability to pay by allowing them to watch lectures, participate in discussions, and complete assignments on their own schedule.

Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdfAjaz Hussain

��

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.

Dr. Ansari Khurshid Ahmed- Factors affecting Validity of a Test.pptxKhurshid Ahmed Ansari

��

Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.
