From Implementation to Value Beyond Instructionahornton
Ìý
Wimba Live Classroom was implemented at the University of Southern Mississippi to address challenges stemming from Hurricane Katrina, including increased online enrollment and loss of the Long Beach campus. It proved valuable beyond instruction by serving as a recruitment, marketing and career placement tool. Guest presentations from industry leaders engaged students, generated publicity and helped build relationships between students and potential employers. Student feedback showed Live Classroom enhanced the educational experience by making it interactive and providing access to up-to-date industry knowledge and trends.Web Accessibility

The University of Southern Mississippi partnered with the Mississippi Virtual Community College to increase flexibility and enrollment for online students. Through this partnership, USM students can take online courses from community colleges. Over 45 students enrolled in 62 community college courses in the first semester of the pilot program. The partnership provides a seamless enrollment process while allowing USM to expand its online course offerings. It has helped increase online enrollment at USM.Facilitating Communication across a Geographically Dispersed Chapter
Facilitating Communication across a Geographically Dispersed Chapterahornton
Ìý
This document discusses facilitating communication across a geographically dispersed chapter of the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD). It notes some challenges like lack of leadership, resources, and direction in forming Geographic Interest Groups (GIGs). Suggested solutions include using virtual meetings, door prizes, and annual statewide meetings to engage membership and nurture relationships. Setting up successful GIGs involves research, an initial meeting, marketing, and surveying members. GIGs can help build networks, expand skills, and strengthen compliance with ASTD's CORE standards by increasing membership numbers and professional development opportunities.Promoting the Scholarship of Teaching by Forming Connections
Promoting the Scholarship of Teaching by Forming Connectionsahornton

This document summarizes the results of a pilot program evaluating the use of the Wimba Live Classroom virtual learning environment at the University of Southern Mississippi. Surveys of 5 instructors and 19 students found that most had previous computer experience and found Wimba easy to learn. Text chat, voice chat and presentation features were most widely used and satisfactory, while audio quality needed improvement. Overall satisfaction with Wimba was high, but technical difficulties were a moderate problem that needs to be addressed for broader adoption. Continued research at other institutions was recommended.Lessons Learned: Implementation of a Virtual Classroom

Second Life is a 3D virtual world platform that allows users to interact through avatars. Users can explore the virtual world, socialize, and build and trade virtual objects and property. The platform can be used for both educational and recreational purposes. Educators use it for collaborative projects, simulations, field trips and classes. While it provides opportunities, Second Life also presents challenges like maintaining safe environments, addressing technical issues, and preventing discrimination. Resources are available to help educators effectively integrate the platform into teaching and learning.Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...
Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
Ìý
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
