Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature–the pragmatic idealism–of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the “ticking clock” of a visionary company is a core ideology–core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money–that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time. References: Collins, J. C., & Porras, J. I. (2002). Built to last: Successful habits of visionary companies. New York, NY: Harper Paperbacks.

While some have identified Merck as a visionary company dedicated to a “core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money” (Collins & Porras, 2002, p. 48), others point out corporate misdeeds perpetrated by Merck (e.g., its role in establishing a dubious medical journal that republished articles favorable to Merck products) as contradictory evidence.

From reading educator-authors’ revisions, and experiencing confusion myself surrounding how performance measures fit into a design case, I feel the problem arises from how new authors view design cases in relation to scientific experimental studies in education. A designer who is also a researcher must recognize the difference in perspective between a design case and an experimental study which uses a design for teaching and learning. References: Howard, C. D. (2011). Writing and rewriting the instructional design case: A view from two sides. International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2(1), 40-55.

There is much confusion surrounding how performance measures fit into a design case. In some cases, this can be explained by confusion about what a design case is really all about. However, the ways that an author is used to writing may also have something to do with it.

As a further example, APT queries and their results may be used to form rules for expert systems that become part of an intelligent computer-based instructional system. Such a system theoretically can optimize student learning by recommending instructional sequences (i.e., temporal patterns) that have high probabilities of resulting in student mastery. In other words, APT-based decision making by a computer program can provide an empirical foundation for artificial intelligence. References: Frick, T. W. (1990). Analysis of patterns in time: A method of recording and quantifying temporal relations in education. American Educational Research Journal, 27(1), 180-204.

The use of artificial intelligence to make instructional decisions has been identified by many authors. The analysis of patterns in time (APT) queries “may be used to form rules for expert systems” (Frick, 1990, p. 202) for use in education.

To return to the primeval soup, it must have become populated by stable varieties of molecule; stable in that either the individual molecules lasted a long time, or they replicated rapidly, or they replicated accurately. Evolutionary trends toward these three kinds of stability took place in the following sense: if you had sampled the soup at two different times, the later sample would have contained a higher proportion of varieties with high longevity/fecundity/copying-fidelity. References: Dawkins, R. (1989). The selfish gene (3rd ed.). Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.

Many physical education and health curricula have been developed to foster active, healthy lifestyles through various learning outcomes and objectives. Although such a goal may be desired and valued by our society, ways to achieve this goal are less understood. If elementary physical education is to assist children in developing skills and understanding that will serve as the foundation for future activities, then educators at all levels need to develop ways to foster these skills and understanding across numerous types of activities. References: Mandigo, J. L., & Anderson, A. T. (2003). Using the pedagogical principles in net/wall games to enhance teaching effectiveness. Teaching Elementary Physical Education, 14(1), 8-11.

While society may broadly appreciate and desire educational objectives that can help people lead healthy lives, the exact approaches necessary to reach these desired outcomes are not well understood. Mandigo and Anderson (2003) highlight the need for educators “to develop ways to foster these skills and understandings across numerous types of activities” (p. 8) as an important step towards making this desire a reality.

Suppose you study a group of successful companies and you find that they emphasize customer focus, or quality improvement, or empowerment; how do you know that you haven’t merely discovered the management practice equivalent of having buildings? How do you know that you’ve discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies? You don’t know. You can’t know–not unless you have a control set, a comparison group. References: Collins, J. C., & Porras, J. I. (2002). Built to last: Successful habits of visionary companies. New York, NY: Harper Paperbacks.

One has to ask oneself how you know that you’ve discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies? Otherwise, you can fall into a trap that is the same as identifying “the management practice equivalent of having buildings” (Collins & Porras, 2002, p. 14). References: Collins, J. C., & Porras, J. I. (2002). Built to last: Successful habits of visionary companies. New York, NY: Harper Paperbacks.

The selected memories, nevertheless, both from her childhood and from Sally’s do coalesce, or at least indicate a very clear thematic focus: primarily death, and, to a smaller extent, writing, creation, the power of words-two aspects where this book originates in: the trauma of death as a source of writing–and, as a result, as a means of creating one’s self, the autobiographical subject, or the subject of this autobiography. References: Séllei, N., (2009) The mother in mourning as the subject of autobiography in Rosamond Lehmann’s The swan in the evening: Fragments of an inner life. In A. O’Reilly, & S.

Areas of thematic focus in of Rosamond Lehmann’s The Swan in the Evening include death and the power of writing (Séllei, 2009). Further, Séllei (2009) points out the ability for “the trauma of death” to act “as a source of writing” (p. 175).

The way the U.S. judicial system works, a defendant is first found to be innocent or guilty. The punishment sentence is determined only after a defendant has been found guilty. It might seem that this is a relatively minor procedural issue. Yet, the order of this decision-making can mean the difference between life and death, or even between conviction and acquittal. References: Dixit, A. K., & Nalebuff, B. J. (1991).Thinking strategically: The competitive edge in business, politics, and everyday life. New York, NY: Norton.

Seemingly small choices, such as the order of decision-making, can have major consequences. For example, making decisions about punishment after a guilty verdict has been reached rather than before guilt has been established impacts conviction and acquittal rates. A decision to convict can literally be a life or death decision in countries that practice capital punishment.

You could even skip the debate and simply concentrate on getting letters to candidates. The key is to act. Concentrate on two or three issues at the most. If you write on twelve topics, you dissipate the effect. Keep the letter short, one page if possible, two at the most. Your lawmakers and their staffs are busy and are not likely to do more than glance at a long letter. References: Simon, P. (2003). Our culture of pandering. Carbondale, IL: Southern Illinois University Press.

There are many ways to participate in the electoral process. Town hall debates are often open to the public in smaller elections. These debates may provide opportunities for the public to ask questions directly. However, “you could even skip the debate and simply concentrate on getting letters to candidates” since the letter writing approach is not dependent on being able to get access to limited microphone time (Simon, 2003).

In the 1986 soccer World Cup final, the Argentine star Diego Maradona did not score a goal but his passes through a ring of West German defenders led to two Argentine goals. The value of a star cannot be assessed only by looking at his scoring performance; his contributions to his teammates’ performance is crucial, and assist statistics help measure this contribution. References: Dixit, A. K., & Nalebuff, B. J. (1991).Thinking strategically: The competitive edge in business, politics, and everyday life. New York, NY: Norton.

The soccer World Cup final consistently captures worldwide attention and vaults players into the spotlight. Consider Argentine star Diego Maradona in the 1986 World Cup final. According to Dixit and Nalebuff (1991) his amazing performance was not evident by examining scoring performance but it was his role in improving the play of those around him that showed why he is considered a star player.

In module 2, we used a case study to explore ways to motivate learners using an agency-level case about SPC’s Healthy Employee Initiative. Now, I would like you to apply the case-based approach and universal design principles in a more traditional setting focused on individual learners. For this assignment I would like you to create a case scenario for a lesson covering a topic of interest to you! Here are some links providing you with some great resources, strategies, and ideas for using case studies: The Center for Research on Learning and Teaching and Teaching with Case Studies (Stanford University, 1994).

Step 1: Create a Case Scenario (at least 450 words for Step 1)

Write a fictitious case scenario that describes a patient with multiple health-related issues!

• Choose any patient type: geriatric, pediatric, special needs, adolescent. Create your “patient” to have complicated histories, medications, health conditions, and lifestyles.
  
  • Maybe your case is about a middle aged woman on multiple medications (list them), with uncontrolled hypertension, constant head-aches and blurred vision.
  • Maybe she has a family history of stroke, is recently single, and is the bread-winner with three teenagers. Do you “hear” the building blocks of a case here?
  • The more intricate you make your case, the more interesting and challenging it will be for your learners and the more your learners are pushed to manipulate facts and critically think the more likely they are to learn!

• Use at least one image or visual related to the case such as photo’s, x-rays, charts, blood chemistries, slides, or any other visual materials and remember to cite the images (see the HSA Style Guide). You may also create the visuals first and build your case around them!
• Google Images is a very helpful resource for finding images; remember to cite the original source because Google Images is just a search engine to help find the images.

Step 2: Describe a Strategy(ies) – Once you have written the 450+ word scenario [with image(s)]:

• Write at least one discussion question for the class that addresses the patient’s issues/needs (one sentence only).
• Describe a strategy you could use to engage the patient in your case study to educate him/her on the health issue while accommodating for the patient’s diverse medical and psychosocial issues.
• Describe why this strategy is better than another teaching strategy (list the strategy being compared).
