Digital immersion

One important facet of ASU’s shift into digital learning is the design and testing of adaptiveactive courses, a new approach to educational delivery that represents a fundamental departure from traditional instruction and online modules.

The adaptive courseware approach engages students with online content prior to class sessions, allowing them to learn at different speeds based upon their performance as evaluated by courseware algorithms.

ASU initially implemented this approach in freshman math, chemistry and biology courses — the courses in which passage is most associated with higher retention rates.

Adaptive courseware increased success rates in math from 66% in 2009 to 85% in 2015 and has been shown to increase pre- to post-test scores in chemistry and biology by significant margins. Twenty thousand students already engage with the adaptive courseware each year and the university is working to

expand adaptive courseware to reach 75% of undergraduate students. A sample of courses are currently being offered for both online and campus immersion courses.

Modern Leadership What’s the difference between being a manager and a leader? Why does it matter? When we look at examples from the past, why do we lift up Winston Churchill, Indira Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and others as great leaders–not simply as great managers?

Molasses and the Sticky Origins of the Fourth Amendment It was always about drugs – in the 18th century, the drug was sugar.

This course traces the right of privacy from the Code of Hammurabi, thru the Romans to 18th Century England where a man’s home was his castle. Flawed defenders of liberty like John Wilkes and James Otis fought for the right. In America, emerging capitalism brought contraband — not heroin or pot but sugar! The Triangle Trade — The Middle Passage — Black Ivory. We have the 4th Amendment because molasses becomes rum. Rum bought African slaves. Slave exploitation and death made Caribbean sugar cane and molasses, which went to New England to become rum and back to Africa to buy slaves. For slavery, men fought, and won, a liberty.

Motivating Employees From time to time everyone needs a little bit of help with motivation.

Place: Distribution Channels Of the four Ps–product, price, place, promotion–"Place" is not as straightforward as the others. In fact, using the word "place" can be misleading. If we were to say, "We are going to talk about place related to groceries," you would likely think about where you buy your groceries–as in, which store and which location. In this course you will explore the process of determining where you want to find particular groceries and how to get those groceries to that place in the way that best aligns with your preferences. But it’s not a course just about groceries. It’s a course about distribution. Distribution, while not starting with a "P," brings the products that you want to the place where you want to sell them, at a cost that supports the customer and company price requirements.

If you are able to create and deliver a product that provides exceptional value to your target customer, the rest of the marketing becomes easier to manage.

In this course you’ll learn why product is at the core of all marketing and explore real case studies.

Without a great product, marketing can over-promise and underdeliver. A great product also means spending less on marketing, as consumers love telling others about the products they love.

State v Jones – Breaking Down the Case for Extracts The case, State v. Rodney Jones, stems from a 2013 arrest in Yavapai County.

That extracted resin is in marijuana edibles and other products used by patients who choose to, or can’t, smoke marijuana.

Waste Water and Public Health Since the beginning of human civilization people have realized that water is essential for their survival. As historically documented, these early civilizations are known to develop settlements around bodies of water such as rivers. Rivers are useful because they bring water in and take water away. This simple process illustrates the concept of how we obtain the water that we drink and how we eliminate the water that we excrete. In more recent years, populations have grown with more people living in cities than rural areas. This increase in urbanization has important implications on water quality, the challenge of obtaining safe drinking water, and the treatment of wastewater produced by human populations.
