Revising the Revision: Moving New Information Literacy Instruction for FY Students Online in the Wake of COVID-19
Get PDFPennsylvania Library Association, College and Research Division, Connect and Communication webinar series, March 17, 2021
Throughout 2018-19, librarians at Messiah University worked with the Director of First Year Core Courses to develop a scaffolded four-session information literacy program throughout the two core writing courses in the First Year student\u27s curriculum. Academic year 2019-2020 was the first year for full implementation. The first three sessions were delivered in person and included flipped and active learning strategies. COVID-related closure of campus required immediate conversion of the final session to an online format. The presenter will share information about these curricular revisions, and then the revision of the final information literacy session to online

Fake News or is it?
Get PDFHow can you tell if something is credible or fake news? Reliable information helps us make good decisions but with the proliferation of social media, sometimes it is hard to tell if we should believe it or delete it. We tend to want to believe those things that align with our world view, but is it true just because we want it to be? What is opinion and what is fact? Let’s sharpen our critical thinking skills and discover some tools that we can use to help us figure it out. We will learn what drives fake news, how to recognize it, and how to not pass it o
A Multimodal Educational Approach for Caregivers of a Febrile Child: A Quality Improvement Project
Get PDFBackground: Insufficient caregiver knowledge regarding the physiology and correct management of fever in children contributes to adverse health outcomes in children.
Problem: Lack of multimodal education and resources for caregivers on the management of febrile children leads to medication dosing errors, overutilization of medical resources, and caregiver ambiguity when caring for their child.
Methods: A multimodal educational approach (MEA) on discharge education for the care of a febrile child directed towards caregivers who presented to a pediatric emergency room in Eastern PA, was implemented, and caregiver knowledge and caregiver’s perception of preparedness at time of discharge was measured.
Intervention: The MEA included verbal and written instructions, a video, an interactive mobile application, and a teach-back demonstration. A knowledge score was measured before and after receiving education using an MEA for each caregiver (n = 10). Caregivers’ perception of their preparedness to care for a child with fever at home was measured with the Brief Prepared (BPREPARED) scale after receiving education using an MEA.
Results: Knowledge scores levels were not significantly greater after the MEA (Mdn = 7) than before the MEA (Mdn = 6), z = 25, p = .054; however, the differences were clinically significant (r = .61). There was a nonsignificant relationship between post-education knowledge scores vs. post-education preparedness scores, r = -.307, p \u3e .05.
Conclusion: There was clinically significant evidence that an MEA improves knowledge at time of discharge when caring for a febrile child. A strong conclusion cannot be made about the correlation between post-education knowledge and preparedness of caregivers

Stages of Suzanne
Get PDFWhen you left me again that day last fall I went through the five stages of grief- no, to clarify, the stages of Suzanne as my therapist so kindly put it, stages that included sobbing on the floor when your scent finally left out the door, going through your things with mascara staining my cheek
Meleager and the Calydonian Boar
Get PDF“Oeneus, king of Calydon, had given thanks to all the gods for his plentiful harvest. Well, all the gods except Diana; he kind of forgot about her. To take revenge, the hunter goddess summoned her most fearsome monster, the Calydonian Boar, determined to let it ravage the Calydonian fields until the people once again learned to respect her.” Peleus paused. “At least, Meleager’s messenger said something like that. I was already on board when I heard we’d be fighting a monster. The rest was just filler backstory.
On-Campus Solar PV Lab: Component Selection is Only the Beginning
Get PDFThe work of the Solar PV Team is to design and install Solar PV systems which enable our clients to fulfill their mission in the presence of unreliable or non-existent electrical power. In order to experiment with different Solar PV configurations and train new members, the Solar PV team last year designed a Solar Lab to be installed in and next to Frey 70. This work paralleled the design/component selection typically performed prior to an installation site trip. This year, the team modeled the efforts typically done at the installation site by building and configuring the Solar Lab design. This poster will focus on the lessons learned about decisions that need to be made in the field to convert a Component Selection level design into a Functioning PV System.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1003/thumbnail.jp
