Analyze and discuss Educational Technology Comparison

Compare the features, benefits, and capabilities of two versions of a similar technology that can be used for teaching, learning, or assessment in nursing education, using the Technology Comparison Template provided. Then, determine which teaching and learning situations the technology is best suited for and how it can be incorporated into a specific nursing education program. To prepare for the assessment, you are encouraged to identify two similar educational technologies for comparison and the teaching and learning situations this type technology is best suited for. In addition, you may wish to review the assessment requirements and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete.

The following resources are required to complete the assessment.

Templates

Use this template for your technology comparison:

• Comparing Technologies Template [DOCX].

Requirements

Compare two versions of a similar technology that can be used for teaching, learning, or assessment in nursing education. Then, determine which teaching and learning situations the technology is best suited for and how it can be incorporated into a specific nursing education program.

For example:

• E-learning technologies, such as Storyline, Articulate, and Captivate.

• Learning management systems (LMSs) for managing coursework, e-learning, and tracking learner progress, such as Brightspace, Taleo, and PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management, Health Stream, Net Learning.

• Online courserooms, such as Blackboard, Canvas, and Moodle.

• Technologies for assessing learning outcomes, such as e-portfolios, testing software, and surveys.

• Technologies to enhance learner interactivity, such as gamification and virtual reality technologies.

• Presentation technologies, such as PowerPoint and Prezi.

• High-, medium-, and low-fidelity simulation equipment or software, such as simulation manikins and body-part models.

Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?

I’m challenging the believe that male staff or staff in the school system in general have a double standard when it comes to young and impressionable female students.

Male staff aren’t going to get the feeling of being shamed and ridiculed based on their clothing because they Are Conditioned to prioritize Comfort over a women’s comfortability. This teaches our young girls to internalize their feelings because its been put into our heads that our feelings are Irrelevant.

What are are some key steps in developing a project schedule?

What are are some key steps in developing a project schedule?
Why is project plan important in a project?
Discuss two types of Estimation techniques.
Project Planning & Estimating and Scheduling
Project plan is produced during the planning phase. Although planning starts much earlier – even during the concept phase and requirements definition, the plan cannot be finalized until reasonable estimates of schedule and costs are made. The project plan is the formal document that guides execution of a project. Planning occurs through a project, that is, the planning process is dynamic and ongoing and many planning processes will be repeated during the design and execution phases as changes are made in the project.

Many problems can occur in a project if insufficient time is spent planning; the purpose of planning is to prevent those problems from occurring. causes of poor planning may include estimates that are poorly done, exception handling that is grossly misunderstood; requirements that are incomplete, changing or not understood; technical complexity that is misunderstood; old code content that is not known; new requirements that are added or sneaked into the plan; dictated constraints; and inadequate time to do a project job.

Estimating is the bridge from the work break down structure to planning schedules, costs and resources. The basic process of estimating applies to the wide variety of estimates needed in projects, including time estimates for scheduling, cost estimates for budgeting and personnel and equipment estimates for planning resources.

Scheduling a project requires both a scientific and an artistic touch. It requires a scientific touch because the schedule has to reflect the work breakdown structure tasks in a logical and interrelated way to optimize resources across the organization. Scheduling requires an artistic touch because tasks not only are technically dependent or interrelated but are often politically driven, thus requiring finesse and interpersonal skill.

You are giving a philosophical luncheon and can invite any two or three philosophers we’ve studied. Whom do you invite, and why?

For the second paper, choose one of the following prompts.

1. You are giving a philosophical luncheon and can invite any two or three philosophers we’ve studied. Whom do you invite, and why? What conversation topics will you introduce? (These can include current events, if there are things you think your philosopher might be especially insightful about.).
2. Choose any two philosophers we’ve considered and imagine them squaring off (that is, contrast their points of view) on some important current event or big issue from history. You may write it as a script/dialogue (a la Plato), if you are the creative type. (You may just choose one philosopher, if you prefer, and compare/contrast his viewpoint with that of a well-known contemporary figure.)
There is no big research required, unless you need or want to do it in order to brush up on your chosen philosophers (as always, cite any sources you use). That said, researching and adding things that aren’t just recycled from my lectures would surely enhance your paper. The main point is to use the exercise as an opportunity to show off to me that you learned some philosophy this semester and you know how to talk about it and relate it to life. This means that you will try to put some original thought into this, and NOT just repeat to me a few points from your class notes.
If you are a creative type, you can make it a script or a story – people have successfully done this in the past. A straight paper is also fine. ☺
I feel I should warn you that FAR too many people simply choose Socrates, Plato, & Aristotle for their philosophers, and then basically make their paper a duplicate of their answer to the “compare and contrast the ideas of Plato & Aristotle” essay question from Test #2. Such papers all read as if they took 20 minutes to write, and it’s hard to distinguish them from each other enough to justify rewarding them with a solid B or above. Now, you may certainly include any or all of the philosophers I named in your paper, but please put discernable effort into the exercise if you want to be rewarded with a grade above 85%.
This paper should …
• give thoughtful consideration to the prompt, as well as evidence of your weeks as a student in this course.
• use standard written English.
• be long enough to get the job done. I’d say that’s about 1000 words (approx. 3 pages?) long.
• cite all direct quotes and borrowed ideas, and have a corresponding bibliography (/ works cited) page.
Any standard citation and bibliography format (such as MLA) is acceptable.
• be double-spaced, with margins no greater than 1 inch all around, and employ a 10-point sans serif font (such as Arial). Yes, I care about font, margins, and spacing even though the paper will be an electronic
submission.
• have a title (and don’t just call it “Paper 2”) You do not, however, need a title page. You may head the first page (but not subsequent pages, please) of your paper as I have done this one, with your name (not mine, as a student once did!) and other relevant information in the upper corners and the title centered. You need not reproduce the question on your page; I hope that as I read, it will be obvious which prompt you chose.
• be submitted as a MS Word “.docx” file.
• Include, at end, the following statement: “My initials following this sentence indicate that I pledge on my honor that I have not received unauthorized assistance on this paper, which is 100% my own work.” Then type your initials, but only do this if you can truthfully make the pledge.
