Thought of Moving Some of Your Teaching Online but Don't Know Where to Start?
We've planned two, half days over the break to introduce you to some of the possibilities. Faculty from around campus have been invited to show you what they are doing online. There will also be support staff to give you a sense of what services you can use to help you get started. The sessions will take place from 1:00-4:30 pm on February 19 and 9:00 am- 12:30 pm on the morning of February 20. The workshops will be held in McDougall Hall 328 with light refreshments provided. There is no cost for the sessions, but faculty are invited to register with the Centre for Life-Long Learning via email Lisa Mackinnon-Laybolt at: lmmackinnon@upei.ca We also want to make it clear that the session is divided in two parts and are both meant to be attended. Questions about the event? Contact Daniel Lynds at dlynds@upei.ca
Research on Tap - February 5
At the next Research on Tap, join us for a discussion about a life-saving device that some reject. Dr. Robert Gilmour, 91探花鈥檚 vice-president of research will lead a discussion entitled: "Is your life worth it? The science and ethics of implantable defibrillators." 鈥淢ore people die each year from the lethal heart-rhythm disorder ventricular fibrillation than from any other cause,鈥� says Dr. Gillmour. 鈥淭he only reliable way to stop fibrillation once it has begun is a large electrical shock to the heart, or defibrillation.鈥� Doctors can implant a small, pacemaker-like device to sense fibrillation and automatically deliver the life-saving shock, but some patients decide against it. The discussion begins at 7 pm on Tuesday, February 5 in The Pourhouse, above The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse in Charlottetown. Research on Tap features public discussions with 91探花 researchers. For more information, contact Dave Atkinson at 620-5117, or datkinson@upei.ca .
