Main contributors:
Spinda, Barbara
Summary:
This study utilized a survey, interviews, and artifact analysis to investigate faculty selection, use, and evaluation of active learning techniques in the didactic classroom of university-based Medical Laboratory Science programs. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that faculty favor active learning techniques that offer an interactive or collaborative learning model, encourage student engagement, and require application of knowledge. Faculty believe the use of active learning supports student learning, promotes engagement, increases motivation, embeds long-term knowledge, and improves soft skills. Despite recognizing the benefits, faculty also reported challenges related to time constraints, resource availability, and support from colleagues and administrators. Overall, while active learning presents certain complexities and challenges, faculty incorporate it across all content areas of Medical Laboratory Science education. The insights from this study highlight the significance of active learning in the classroom and aims to spark awareness, encourage dialogue, foster collaboration, and stimulate further research and publications on this pedagogical approach.

13913. Extensions to Embedding Regression: Models for Context-Specific Description and Inference (54:32)

Main contributors:
Spirling, Arthur
Summary:
Social scientists commonly seek to make statements about how word use varies over circumstances—including time, partisan identity, or some other document-level covariate. For example, researchers might wish to know how Republicans and Democrats diverge in their understanding of the term “immigration.” Building on the success of pretrained language models, we introduce the a la carte on text (conText) embedding regression model for this purpose. This fast and simple method produces valid vector representations of how words are used—and thus what words “mean”—in different contexts. We show that it outperforms slower, more complicated alternatives and works well even with very few documents. The model also allows for hypothesis testing and statements about statistical significance. We also provide extensions of the model to non-English languages and demonstrate applications for the same.

Main contributors:
Spray, Ed
Summary:
Ed Spray’s legacy in the world of television includes dozens of industry awards, the programming of five CBS television stations and the creation of three cable networks. It culminates in his tenure as president of Scripps Networks, home of HGTV and the Food Network. But it begins in IU’s Radio-Television Building. Spray left his hometown of Seymour, Indiana, to major in radio and television with a minor in journalism at IU. He served as president of Sigma Delta Chi Journalism Society, vice president of his fraternity Kappa Delta Rho and member of the IU Student Foundation. He also earned spare change by shooting film of campus activities for Indianapolis TV stations. Upon graduating in 1963, he married Donna Cornwell, a fellow IU student pursuing a bachelor’s and master’s degree in elementary education. As he worked toward his master’s degree in communications at IU, Spray served as a part-time producer/director for IU Radio and Television Services. He graduated in 1969 and landed his first job as a film editor at WISH-TV Indianapolis, eventually moving on to WMAQ-TV Chicago, an NBC-owned television station. There, Spray gradually rose to producer/director and won five Chicago Emmy Awards during his next nine years of work. Spray left WMAQ but stayed in Chicago, taking a job as director of broadcasting at CBS-owned station WBBM-TV. There, he led one of the most prolific and celebrated programming operations in commercial television, earning nearly all of the industry’s most iconic and coveted awards, including two national Emmys, two Peabodys, several DuPont Columbia Awards, Edward R. Murrow documentary awards and more than 75 local Emmys. In 1986, Spray transferred to Los Angeles CBS-owned station KCBS, where he served as station manager. He was eventually promoted to a CBS corporate vice president position, which put him in charge of developing national programming for the CBS Television Stations group. Spray left Los Angeles six years later, in 1992, opting to transition to higher education full-time. He taught as an associate professor at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Communications. In 1994, he was hired by the E.W. Scripps Company to launch a home and garden cable television network, better known now as HGTV. He co-founded the network and was initially responsible for producing, scheduling and promoting HGTV content. Two years later, the company acquired the Food Network and assigned Spray to lead the relaunch of the network with the new highly successful format it uses today. In 1999, the company started its third network — DIY — and established Scripps Networks, naming Spray president. In his time as president, the company launched a fourth network — now called the Cooking Channel, launched HGTV Canada and acquired two more existing cable networks. Spray retired in 2005 and was named a distinguished professor of journalism and communications at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, where he taught for four years. He was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in 2004. In 2012, the Chicago Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences honored him with membership in the Chicago Silver Circle, an award that recognized his outstanding contributions to Chicago television.

Video bio of Terri Stacey inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2020; Terri Lynn Stacy was born in the small town of Knightstown in Henry County, Indiana. In 1985, Stacy was hired as the receptionist for WIBC-FM in Indianapolis. After winning “Employee of the Year” in 1989, Stacy was rewarded with a guest stint on the morning show on WIBC-FM, hosted by Jeff Pigeon. Stacy was such an instant hit that station managers decided to continue having her co-host the morning show, even though she was still working her full-time job as the station’s receptionist. In less than a year, the station made her a full-time on-air personality and morning show co-host. She would continue in that role, despite the ever-changing radio landscape, for more than 20 years. In 2010, Stacy finally stepped down from the morning drive and began a new direction as the traffic reporter for WIBC-FM. Since 2005, Stacy has hosted “The First Day Sunday Magazine Show” and she continues as host of the “Caregiver Crossing” show on WIBC-FM. In both 2007 and 2008, Stacy was acknowledged by Indianapolis Woman magazine as the “Local Female Radio Personality of the Year.” --Words from the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers
