Using AI Chatbots as Ideation Machines
Get PDFThe team analyzed 3 popular chatbots and found that none of them could consistently produce idea-centered essay help responses. The team approached them with 3 separate prompts, one from each of three academic subjects. The team analyzed how each chatbot adapted to the addition of personal information from the “student” and to the phrase, “what are some ideas that could help me get started?” The goal with each interaction was to receive a response in which the chatbot did not produce any pre-written content. Overall, the team’s research did not suggest that AI is fully reliable as an ideation tool
Stability and Mobility: A Lesson from the Body, for the Body
Get PDFABSTRACT
Whether for activities of daily living, occupation, or sport and exercise, coordinated, orchestrated movement of the body is necessary for meaningful function and motion. The musculoskeletal system is responsible for facilitating functional movement, while ensuring stability and mobility in associated regions of the body. Stability concerns itself with the ability to maintain control of joint movement or positioning, whereas mobility has to do with the ability to facilitate coordinated, unrestricted movement.
In functional movement training, a popular refrain often heard is “proximal stability aids distal mobility”. This suggests that good musculoskeletal stability in the core of the body (near the trunk) helps maximize relevant mobility in the limbs and periphery (distant from the trunk). Achieving stability requires repeated training with basic, fundamental movements of the abdomen, low back, and hips - the core - which develops a strong, firm, and secure base to allow harmonious, organized movement of the arms and legs.
For the Christian individual, a solid, established faith deepens one’s relationship with God, and understanding of His love, the life and sacrifice of Christ, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and God’s plan to reconcile all creation to Himself. This firm, grounded faith can be developed and trained, thus creating stability - a secure base - in which the thoughts, behaviors and entire life of the Christian are rooted. As such, actions and endeavors flourish, function freely, and gain mobility in service and life within the kingdom of God
Professional Development (VR in the classroom, field, and beyond - Dr. Jordan Schools)
No full textThis workshop is designed to explore the multifaceted applications of Virtual Reality (VR) technology in educational and performance enhancement settings. Focused primarily on kinesiology classes, mental performance consulting, and athletic training, this workshop aims to equip educators and practitioners with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively integrate VR into their professional practices.
Participants will engage in hands-on demonstrations and immersive experiences to understand how VR can enhance learning outcomes, facilitate skill acquisition, and improve mental and physical performance. From simulating complex physiological processes to creating interactive environments for skill development, VR offers unprecedented opportunities for experiential learning and performance enhancement.
Through a combination of theoretical insights, practical demonstrations, and collaborative discussions, attendees will learn how to harness the potential of VR technology to create engaging and personalized learning experiences, enhance athlete preparation and rehabilitation, and optimize mental performance strategies.
Ultimately, this workshop empowers educators and practitioners to leverage VR as a powerful tool for transforming teaching, learning, and performance enhancement in kinesiology, mental performance consulting, and athletic training contexts
Knock and the door shall be opened unto you, using strength and conditioning as a tool to open doors for ministry
Get PDFThis professional presentation will discuss how the power of meeting a need can open doors for ministry. Christian Sports Performance Ministry utilizes strength and conditioning to encourage, equip, and enable athletes, coaches, and educators to create relationships through which the Gospel can be shared. In areas of the world where current conditioning methods are not commonplace, education on how to enhance physical performance can be very attractive.
In conjunction with Athletes in Action Philippines, Christian Sports Performance has successfully been using strength and conditioning to open doors for ministry since 2011. Initially, a skill-based training system was developed and used for clinics and workshops throughout the Philippines. In 2015, a partner institution requested the development of a curriculum to add the theory needed to develop safe and effective training programs.
Now the International Certificate in Strength and Conditioning Coaching program that will serve as a training system to develop entry-level strength coaches is ready to be launched. This program combines athletic performance skills with five theory-based modules offered online. The PowerRev Way book project published in 2023 provides a text to support the online modules and athletic performance series.
This presentation will present the International Certificate in Strength and Conditioning Coaching and share how the program will be put into action. Development of new sports ministries through Athlete in Action in South and Southeast Asia, strength and conditioning can be used as a door opener for ministries in parts of the world desperate to hear the Gospel
Joe Ivey\u27s Last Lecture
No full textI must view my future through a lens that has much less magnification than I thought prior to my diagnosis. This new view of the future raises profound, and potentially uncomfortable questions. How should this new view affect the way that I live? How do I make the trade-offs that limitations inevitably cause? How should the potential scarcity of time order my days differently? Or should it do so at all? In order to answer these and related questions, I needed to consider life at its fundamental level. Why do I even exist at all

Hamrick, Max
No full textMax Hamrick is one of the key figures responsible for developing the reputation for excellence enjoyed today by David Lipscomb High School. He joined the faculty to teach mathematics in 1928 and was appointed principal in 1933. During his 16 years as principal, he led the high school to its first accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. From 1949 until retirement in 1956 he taught Algebra I and II, geometry, and trigonometry, employing a unique learning exercise that distinguished his methodology. He was an elder at Granny White church of Christ from 1945 until his death in 1979 and preached by appointment throughout middle Tennessee.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1031/thumbnail.jp
The Relationships Between Binge-Watching Behavior, Content Familiarity, Depression, and Anxiety
Get PDFThis December 2024 Master of Science in Psychology thesis at Lipscomb University analyzes how binge-watching has become a dominant media consumption behavior, yet its psychological impacts remain understudied. This thesis examines the relationships between binge-watching behavior, content familiarity, depression, and anxiety, with a focus on whether familiarity moderates mental health outcomes. A sample of 94 participants completed surveys measuring binge-watching habits, content familiarity, and mental health indicators using the CES-D and SCAARED scales. Results from multiple regression analyses indicated that age, content familiarity, and viewing context significantly predicted depression, while only age predicted anxiety. Notably, participants who binge-watched familiar content reported lower depression scores, suggesting that familiarity may provide emotional comfort and stability. Contrary to initial hypotheses, hours spent binge-watching did not significantly predict depression or anxiety, nor did it interact with content familiarity. Additionally, watching television alone was associated with reduced depression scores, challenging assumptions about social isolation and highlighting individual differences in coping mechanisms. These findings emphasize the nuanced interplay between qualitative viewing factors and mental health outcomes. The study underscores the need for further exploration of media consumption behaviors and their implications for public health initiatives and mental well-being
