Introduction – Research and Information Literacy with Library Resources

This resource will share best practices for using the library website and other library resources. This book has three significant sections. The first is the “Start Here” material which lays the foundation for how to search, where to search, and why you should use the library, where students or faculty. The subsequent sections are meant to aid students in their research for courses and to aid faculty as the locate resources and learning materials for their courses. Additional information related to citation, plagiarism, and academic integrity will also be included in this content. This is a collaborative effort between Trine University and PALNI, to better serve students, faculty, and staff as they use library resources. Learning Outcomes: Answer key questions regarding a library search with the library website. (LO1) Execute better strategies for a successful search using the library website. (LO2) Locate scholarly resources in the library website. (LO3) Demonstrate ability to cite sources in APA Style Format. (LO4) Examine strategies for maintaining academic integrity. (LO5)

Nursing Virtual Case Studies

Short Description: These learner paced, interactive virtual branching case studies aim to help learners develop their noticing and clinical judgment skills. Each case study is designed to work with a specific level of learner (novice to advanced) and uses a variety of resources to help learners prepare for the experience and reflect on their actions. Concepts of patient-centered care, communication, safety and health and illness are used to demonstrate how care is provided in a variety of health care settings across the lifespan (community and acute care). Long Description: These learner paced, interactive virtual branching case studies aim to help learners develop their noticing and clinical judgment skills. Each case study is designed to work with a specific level of learner (novice-advanced) and uses a variety of resources to help learners prepare for the experience and reflect on their actions after. To help with this reflection, there is a Learning outcomes rubric provided for learners to identify their strengths and areas to work on and other self-reflection activities. Concepts of patient-centered care, communication, safety and health and illness are used to demonstrate how care is provided in a variety of health care settings across the lifespan (community and acute care). Case studies have been developed based on the CASN Top 10 Adult Nursing Situations for High Fidelity Simulation (2019) and include: An older adult in a community setting living with a chronic perfusion illness An older adult in medical acute care experiencing electrolyte imbalance A young adult in the community experiencing altered mood and substance use problems A deteriorating adult in surgical acute care Following the experience, facilitators have the option of leading a debrief, on one or all case studies, and can use the reflection questions provided to stimulate dialogue. As lifelong learners, learners are encouraged to utilize these case studies as many times as they would like and can use the resources contained within to support their learning.

Introduction to Queer Studies

Focuses on the lives and contributions of queer people in cultural, historical, and social context, including identities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, sexual, pansexual and gender non-binary. Uses an interdisciplinary approach to explore the complex social constructions of sex, sexuality, race, class, gender identity and gender expression. Explores the institutional and cultural factors that create and maintain systems of oppression. This course is taught from an intersectional feminist perspective. This means that we’ll explore all the different identities that queer people can take; addressing racism, ageism, ableism, heterosexism, cissexism and many other forms of power inequality and oppression. Provides a framework to connect personal experience with contemporary social and political issues.

Anatomy & Physiology Student Projects

These projects are intended to enhance the anatomy and physiology course content. I've designed these so that the group project is coimpatible with a traditional A&P 1 course, and the individual project is compatible with a traditional A&P 2 course. However, both of these projects can work with either course, albeit with minor modifications.

Leading Innovation

Short Description: Innovation today considers the economic, environmental, and/or social sustainability of an innovative initiative from its inception or idea generation through to its commercialization or implementation. This concept applies to many types of innovation such as products, processes, services, technologies, and business models. Companies use innovation as a means to gain a competitive advantage and bring value to business stakeholders. This book introduces business innovation, from incremental innovation such as enhancing the performance of an existing product, service, or process, to radical or disruptive innovation such as one that has a significant impact on a market. The content examines how leaders foster a culture of innovation, how companies turn creativity into innovation, and how innovation transforms not only organizations but economies as well.

Acid-Base Solutions

How do strong and weak acids differ? Use lab tools on your computer to find out! Dip the paper or the probe into solution to measure the pH, or put in the electrodes to measure the conductivity. Then see how concentration and strength affect pH. Can a weak acid solution have the same pH as a strong acid solution?
