The Elements of Instruction

A Framework for the Age of Emerging Technologies

By: Michael H. Molenda,Deepak Prem Subramony

The Elements of Instruction provides a common vocabulary and conceptual schema of teaching and learning that is fully applicable to all forms of instruction in our digital-centric era. This critical examination of educational technology’s contemporary semantics and constructs fills a major gap in the logical foundations of instruction, with special attention to the patterns of communication among facilitators, learners, and resources. The book proposes a new framework for organizing research and theory, clear concepts and definitions for its basic elements, and a new typology of teaching-learning arrangements to simplify the selection of optimal conditions for a variety of learning goals. As trends in media, technology, and methodology continue to evolve, these historically contextual, back-to-basics pedagogical tools will be invaluable to all instructional designers and educational researchers.

The Guide to Executive Recruiters

By: Michael Betrus

Like a dating service, this edition (updated since the initial 1996 one) guides all levels of executives to the job recruiters most likely to match their industry and salary requirements. To avert perils akin to blind dating, a state-by-state recruiter directory and recruiter index by industry are provided, as well as a briefing on strategies for best utilizing both retainer and contingency-based search firms. Recruiter listings include contact information, minimum salary placed, and specialty area(s), but not fees, Internet presence, or any evaluative data on their placement record; nor is the overall success of such corporate "headhunters" addressed.

Reunion Without Compromise

Reunion Without Compromise

The South and Reconstruction: 1865-1868

By: Michael Perman

A study of the political leadership of the Southern States during the decisive three years immediately after the American Civil War. This was the crucial moment when the terms and shape of the post-war sectional settlement were being deliberated and determined and its outcome depended on the policy pursued by the Federal government towards the leaders of the Confederacy as well as on the Southerners' response to whatever course was adopted. Consequently, the Southern politicians were at the centre of the whole problem of reunion. It is very surprising, therefore, that until this study there has been virtually no analysis by historians of the goals, strategies and priorities of the Confederates. Yet without this, the struggle over Southern readmission cannot properly be understood.

Man in a Female World

By: Michael Bolger

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Man in a Female World

By: Michael Bolger

The author joined the nursing profession a few short years after the National Health Service was launched, and when nursing was still an almost entirely female occupation. In the present era of political correctness and studied avoidance of sexual discrimination, male nurses are not exposed to the horrors which Mike Bolger recalls so amusingly in this book. The book is illustrated with cartoons which exactly identify the situations Mike Bolger describes, and add an extra dimension to an already rich tapestry. This is one of those books that have to be read from cover to cover. Everyone who has ever worked in the nursing profession will recognise the total authenticity of the stories Mike tells, and everyone, nurse or not, will be able to laugh and cry with him.

Covid-19

Lockdowns on Trial

By: Michael Betrus

A DATA AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS OF COVID-19 AND ALL THAT RESULTED FROM ITThe COVID-19 pandemic swept the world in 2020, resulting in most governments locking down their countries in an effort to slow the spread, so hospitals didn't get overwhelmed at once. These lockdowns came at a huge cost to the citizens of the world.In COVID-19: Lockdowns on Trial, author and researcher Michael Betrus provides you with a fast-paced journey through the pandemic and its spread. He walks you through the analysis of the earliest data from the cruise ships and the models that triggered the lockdowns, and how the actual data doesn't add up to the life-altering decisions made by governments around the world, and especially in America.In this book, you will see: --Lockdowns by state--and many countries--and what the government actions were--The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and state data with insight from medical sources, like The Lancet and medRXiv--Analysis of actual COVID-19 deaths and how they were counted--The most important data point to determine COVID-19's death impact, and that it's never talked about--How the lockdowns triggered record unemployment and economic ruin, and future deaths and despair in likely excess of the COVID-19 deaths--A breakdown of how the media covered the pandemic, driving panic in the American public and keeping politicians from re-opening after the lockdowns--Social consequences of the lockdowns: increasing domestic violence, distance learning challenges, suicides--The anti-lockdown protests and the struggle to reopen states--More than 100 charts, graphs and tables included to illustrate the data--And more Read COVID-19: Lockdowns on Trial, to see what was really happening during the pandemic of 2020... and then you be the judge
