Sharing experiences of computer aided assessment underpinned by computer algebra: Who uses what
No full textTHE ISSUE
The conference theme of “motivating” students is relevant to Computer Aided Assessment, CAA. Well-timed, instructional questions, marked instantly with feedback on errors, and, after due dates, model solutions, really do help the students. Their motivation derives at least partly, and for some mostly, from the relatively small amount of “marks”/credit from submitting their answers on time.
THE APPROACH
Greg and Grant have a paper in UniServe 2006 describing various CAA systems. The approach now is steady development. Greg has 13 years running the maple-underpinned AiM system at Curtin.
Guest logins are at http://aim01.curtin.edu.au/
Grant's first authoring for a CAA system was calmaeth at UWA in 1999, then AiM in 2001-02 at Birmingham, then various systems -- calmaeth, AiM, mapleTA and mathxl -- at UWA, before working with Greg at Curtin.
CAA is no longer "innovation". Competent management of systems that work is worthwhile too. Watching for what else is available is appropriate should technical developments make a change desirable.
Participants in the Exchange will report what is in use at their university, and we will all learn who is using what and where. mapleTA used to be inferior to AiM in not recognizing equivalent correct answers to some problems, and many will want to know/test that this aspect of mapleTA has improved.
Greater integration with MLEs, Managed Learning Environments, as in stack under moodle is also worthwhile.
Authoring in the different systems is a topic to be discussed. No system is going to last for ever

Terese Ann Paramore
No full textThis undated photograph, taken by Asheville Citizen-Times photographer Malcolm Gamble (Herbert Malcolm Gamble, Sr., born in 1921), shows Terese (Terri) Ann Paramore with a dog. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University

Are lottery scratchcards a 'hard' form of gambling?
No full textThis article argues that scratchcards are not an extension of the online U.K. National Lottery but an entirely different form of gambling, with its own implications for future gambling policy. It also argues that scratchcards are potentially addictive and should be considered a 'hard' form of gambling. The author suggests that scratchcard gambling could become a repetitive habit for some people because of their integrated mix of conditioning effects, rapid event frequency, short payout intervals and psychological rewards coupled with the fact that scratchcards require no skill and are highly accessible, deceptively inexpensive and available in 'respectable' outlets. On March 21, 1995, Camelot — the consortium that runs the U.K. National Lottery online — introduced scratchcards. Like the online game, 28% of ticket sales contribute towards 'good causes' distributed by the National Lotteries Charities Board. Although scratchcards are not new to the United Kingdom, many people view them as intricately linked with the National Lottery. Camelot's scratchcards were the first to benefit from both heavy advertising (television, national newspapers, billboards, etc.) and large jackpots (e.g., £50,000), which meant they became successful very quickly
The satanic panic surrounding Proctor and Gamble
No full textThe 1980s were a time of changes and this change was not always welcome. Fear mongering seems to be how large groups of susceptible people were coxed into thinking certain things like illustrations, sayings and logos are signs of the devils works. This is exactly what happened to Proctor and Gamble, or P&G. Satanic Panics were rampant in America with the story of Satanic cults and devil worship spreading across the country. [Introduction].

The Big Gamble
No full textWhy, every year, tens of thousands of people are willing to risk their lives in perilous voyages across Africa and the Mediterranean Sea? Why do they face such an ordeal to reach European countries where their long-term prospects are often dismal? The Big Gamble answers these questions through a multi-sited ethnography with refugees, their families back, smugglers and relatives in the diaspora. By visiting family homes in Eritrea, living with refugees in camps and urban peripheries across Ethiopia, Sudan and Italy, the author untangles everyday challenges as well as images, desires and feelings of young Eritreans pursuing their desired destination in a context of protracted crisis and long-term displacement. Throughout the book the author shows the importance of recognizing the space for choices in contemporary refugee movements. It argues that imagination, morality and emotion are crucial elements to understand the trajectories and the motivations of those who bet not only their resources but also their lives to seek asylum in Europe
