15.567 The Economics of Information provides an analysis of the underlying economics of information with management implications. It studies the effects of digitization and technology on industry, organizational structure, and business strategy, and examines pricing, bundling, and versioning of digital goods, including music, video, software, and communication services. In addition, the course considers the managerial implications of social networks, search, targeted advertising, personalization, privacy, network externalities, open source, and alliances.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"A new report in Anesthesiology suggests that personalization is key to protecting lung function during surgery and to reducing the chance of postoperative lung collapse. Lung-protective ventilation has long been linked with better outcomes for certain patients undergoing general anesthesia, but one ventilatory parameter still in need of optimization is positive end-expiratory pressure, or PEEP. There’s been a general lack of agreement regarding whether low or moderate levels of PEEP are more protective during surgery. The new study suggests that this lack of consensus occurs, at least in part, because PEEP isn’t usually tailored to a patient’s individual physiology. This conclusion was based on a randomized trial of 40 patients with healthy lungs who underwent abdominal surgery. All patients were initially anesthetized and ventilated with a PEEP of 4cm H2O..."

Knowledge of learners and learning is an essential priority for Library Media Specialists. As the demand for meeting the needs of all learners increases, LMSs are uniquely positioned to observe and support learners across the range of their strengths and challenges. Not only are they able to provide a variety of resources for gathering, processing, and producing information, LMSs are often afforded the opportunity to observe learner strengths that may go overlooked in classroom settings.Personalizing learning is a shift from facilitating implementation of a curricular program to developing a repertoire of instructional resources and strategies to support learner variability. In bridging the disciplines of information and learning, the LMS stays abreast of developments in each, curating and accessing exceptional OER materials and integrating evidence-based mind, brain, and education science (MBES). This module will take a look at the concept and science of learner variability, and investigate and apply two models for designing instruction for learner variability. Students are asked to build on their knowledge of Guided Inquiry Process (see Resources) and OER materials to leveraging learner profiles for effective instructional design.This unit specifically addresses NH ED 614.11.A.1.a and 614.11.A.1.b.
