@HaleKIZILCIK Thank you! Would love to see the article and hear about how the principles of resilient design for learning have informed your work, etc. We also have a book chapter that you might be interested in citing for your piece as well. It is here: https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/resiped/9/

Nicely said, Eddy! It's perhaps a familiar fable, but it is useful to approach how we think about strength and resilience and the qualities that support those things.

It's amazing when we look back and remember how we felt when we first started teaching online in the emergency remote teaching phase. I agree that there are many lessons and practices that we will want to carry forward into a post-pandemic era. I am interested in learning more about how you approached your action research study, as that is something I am also...

I like the phrase "Education in Emergency," Kylie. We are hoping that the course content can be useful for multiple types of emergencies or disruptions, going beyond the pandemic.

Eddy, I am also interested in thinking through what resilient teaching could look like in a post-pandemic era. As you go through the course, I I would be interested in your thoughts!

I am still trying to wrap my head around the intersections possible when the Flourishing Triangle and Social Architecture of Thriving are combined. I created my own 3x3 grid, but I am not sure if each square is meant to elicit ideas or if it is more that the two frameworks should be combined holistically to spark thinking and imagination. For instance should I...

We have also tried a sharing exercise to welcome new team members where we "show and tell" something from our own homes that is old, beautiful, or in some other way meaningful. The team reported that they enjoyed and appreciated this activity.
I am considering inviting team members to an optional virtual social, but want to make sure that it doesn't feel like... -

During the present crisis my team has maintained a strong connection. We are continuing with our weekly workshop meetings, but have shortened them to 50 minutes (rather than alternating between a 50 minute and 90 minute meeting). We are finding video meetings to be tiring and want to cut down on their length during this period of remote work. I have also...

Hello! My name is Rebecca Quintana and I am a staff member at the Center for Academic Innovation at the University of Michigan. I am interested in thinking about what it means for instructors and faculty to thrive as educators in this time of difficulty and crisis.

Did Mrs. Ward own a diamond bracelet?
Was the blood spatter on the arm rest consistent with Mrs. Ward being shot through the driver side window?
Is there tire track evidence to support Mr. Ward's story? -
I would think a person's weight could have an impact on their appearance. A person can look very different if they lose a lot of weight, for example.

For one question, my choices were A) male B) male and for another A) female B) female. Did anyone else have this problem?

I was just thinking about dignity, and how these scientists and specialists speak in a way that affords dignity to the deceased. I am in admiration! It must be a challenge to "get the job done" and focus on all the physical evidence, while also keeping the humanity of the deceased individual in mind.

Hi there! I am an educational researcher and learning experience designer interested who works on the design of MOOCs! I'm interested in exploring innovative approaches to MOOC design, so I have signed up for this course. I chose this course because I am interested in the topic. I enjoy watching "true crime" shows on television.

@SueWinter I was also intrigued by the terms fuzzy logic, Soundex, and wildcards (although I think I know what wildcards are -- searches using asterisks to allow for more results)
-
I have some ancestors from Newfoundland. I have found it very difficult to find any records at all about them. They emigrated to Prince Edward Island -- and that is where the records start. Maybe I am missing something!
-
Wow! I can certainly see how that would be a challenge to unravel - esp. with siblings taking different surnames!

Hello! My name is Rebecca and I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I am from the Toronto area and also have a branch of the family hailing from Prince Edward Island, Canada. I enjoy building my family tree on Ancestry.com, although I think I may have nearly reached the end of what is possible there. This is the second time that I have enrolled in this course, and so...

Furiachhi is what I heard. :)

I hadn't considered that Sopha might be George W.'s mother. Good insight!

Wild cards... is that searching with an asterisk? E.g. *hausen?

Hello - I've been using ancestry.com to do my ancestry research and have pretty much gone as far as I can. I usually get stuck at the point where an ancestor emigrated to Canada. I am not able to find original records from the UK. Looking forward to learning with you!
