Overview
Most doctors would probably agree that a Mediterranean diet, rich
in vegetables, fruits, and grains, is healthier than a
high-saturated fat diet. Indeed, previous research has found that
the diet can lower risk of heart disease. However, there is still
considerable uncertainty about whether the Mediterranean diet is
superior to a low-fat diet recommended by the American Heart
Association. This study is the first to compare these two
diets.
The subjects, 605 survivors of a heart attack, were randomly
assigned follow either (1) a diet close to the "prudent diet step
1" of the American Heart Association (control group) or (2) a
Mediterranean-type diet consisting of more bread and cereals, more
fresh fruit and vegetables, more grains, more fish, fewer
delicatessen foods, less meat. An experimental canola-oil-based
margarine was used instead of butter or cream. The oils recommended
for salad and food preparation were canola and olive oils
exclusively. Moderate red wine consumption was allowed.
Over a four-year period, patients in the experimental condition
were initially seen by the dietician, two months later, and then
once a year. Compliance with the dietary intervention was checked
by a dietary survey and analyses of plasma fatty acids. Patients in
the control group were expected to follow the dietary advice given
by their physician.
The researchers collected information on number of deaths from cardiovascular causes e.g., heart attack, strokes, as well as number of nonfatal heart-related episodes. The occurrence of malignant and nonmalignant tumors was also carefully monitored.
Question to Answer
Is the Mediterranean diet superior to a low-fat diet recommended by
the American Heart Association?
Design Issues
The strength of the design is that subjects were randomly assigned
to conditions. A possible weakness is that compliance rates
depended on reports rather than observation since observation is
impractical in this type of research.

There is a design methodology called rapid prototyping, which has been used successfully in software engineering. Given similarities between software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction. References: |
Tripp and Bichelmeyer (1990) suggested that rapid prototyping could be an advantageous methodology for developing innovative computer-based instruction. They noted that this approach has been used successfully in software engineering; hence, rapid prototyping could also be a viable method for instructional design due to many parallels between software design and instructional design.

In examining the history of the visionary companies, we were struck by how often they made some of their best moves not by detailed strategic planning, but rather by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and--quite literally--accident. What looks in hindsight like a brilliant strategy was often the residual result of opportunistic experimentation and "purposeful accidents." References: |
When I look back on the decisions I've made, it's clear that I made some of my best choices not through a thorough analytical investigation of my options, but instead by trial and error and, often, simply by accident. The somewhat random aspect of my success or failure is, at the same time, both encouraging and scary. |

Major changes within organizations are usually initiated by those who are in power. Such decision-makers sponsor the change and then appoint someone else - perhaps the director of training - to be responsible for implementing and managing change. Whether the appointed change agent is in training development or not, there is often the implicit assumption that training will "solve the problem." And, indeed, training may solve part of the problem.... The result is that potentially effective innovations suffer misuse, or even no use, in the hands of uncommitted users. References: |
When major changes are initiated in organizations, "... there is often the implicit assumption that training will 'solve the problem.' And, indeed, training may solve part of the problem." (Dormant, 1986, p. 238).

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: |
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.

The philosophical position known as constructivismviews knowledge as a human construction. The various perspectives within constructivism are based on the premise that knowledge is not part of an objective, external reality that is separate from the individual. Instead, human knowledge, whether the bodies of content in public disciplines (such as mathematics or sociology) or knowledge of the individual learner, is a human construction. References: |
Does knowledge exist outside of, or separate from, the individual who knows? Constructivists argue that "... human knowledge, whether the bodies of content in public disciplines (such as mathematics or sociology) or knowledge of the individual learner, is a human construction." References: |

When instructors are creating discussion board activities for online courses, at least two questions must be answered. First, what is the objective of the discussions? Different objectives might be to create a "social presence" among students so that they do not feel isolated, to ask questions regarding assignments or topics, or to determine if students understand a topic by having them analyze and evaluate contextual situations. Based on the response to this question, different rules might be implemented to focus on the quality of the interaction more so than the quantity. The second question is, how important is online discussions in comparison to the other activities that students will perform? This question alludes to the amount of participation that instructors expect from students in online discussions along with the other required activities for the course. If a small percentage of student effort is designated for class participation, our results show that it can affect the quality and quantity of interactions. References: |
According to Moore and Marra's (2005) case study, which observed two online courses, students in the first course implemented a constructive argumentation approach while students in second course had less structure for their postings. As they stated, when instructors create online discussion board activities, they must answer at least two questions. These questions are: "What is the objective of the discussions?" And "How important are online discussions in comparison to the other activities that students will perform?" According to their findings, the discussion activities that were designed based on the answers to these questions can influence the quality and quantity of interactions (Moore & Marra, 2005).

Constructivist philosophers assert that knowledge is made by humans themselves. Knowledge is not "out there" in some external reality separate from us. It is we humans who create the content in disciplines such as math and biology. That knowledge would not exist without people making it. References: |

But what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education?While the question of how global processes influence all aspects of education (and who controls these forces) is multidimensional and not completely testable, there appear to be some theories of globalization as it relates to education that can be empirically examined. References: |
Rutkowski and Rutkowski (2009) ask "what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education?" (p. 138). This question is not entirely testable and has multiple dimensions but theories of globalization's impact on education exist and provide means of empirical analysis. References: |

In a complex task such as creating a website for learning, instructors may want to support the generation of multiple solutions in learners' peer feedback. Anonymity may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited. However, teachers need to know just how anonymity impacts the learning dynamic in order to make informed choices about when anonymous configurations are appropriate in peer feedback. References: |
According to Howard, Barrett, and Frick (2010), in order to make appropriate choices educators must understand the ways in which hiding or showing the identity of participants can impact the interaction that takes place in peer feedback activities. Obscuring the identity of participants in peer feedback "may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited" (p. 90).

While solitary negative reactions or unjustified suggestions for change have the potential to dissipate discourse rather than build it, the pattern analysis shows that the anonymous condition seemed to provide a safe explorative space for learners to try out more reasons for their multiple solutions. Teachers will rarely give anonymous feedback, but the experience of giving anonymous feedback may open a social space where learners can try out the reasons for their suggestions. References: |
In their study of anonymity in an online peer feedback activity, the authors found that, under conditions of anonymity, learners seemed more inclined to provide reasons to back up their suggestions (Howard, Barrett, & Frick, 2010). Getting both suggestions and the reasons for the suggestions would be welcome in feedback I receive from peers or my instructors. Seeing the reasons would help me know that the suggestions have been thought through (even if I don't always agree with them). References: |

Devotional reading:
For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.
Ezra 7:10 (New International Version)
Various commitments in life are made. An important one to consider was made by Ezra. This verse reflects the heart of a man truly committed to God and trusting in Him. Ezra studied and learned the truth of God; he lived and applied what he had learned, and he taught this truth to others. When making decisions in our everyday lives, whether personal or professional, are we truly committed to God? One of the hardest things for people to do is to evaluate themselves honestly and effectively. We, as human beings, normally do not have a problem with making assessments of other people. Oftentimes when we evaluate others, we are just pointing out their flaws, never identifying their strengths. Evaluating self is a lot more difficult because it requires being truthful about the things that we are reluctant of being transparent about. A proper or honest evaluation of self and our commitments requires a trusting relationship with God. We cannot have a relationship with God without trusting God to show us who we really are.

Questions 32-33 use the information that follows.
Argentina Corporation has three divisions: Pulp, Paper, and Fibers. Argentina’s new controller, David Fisher, is reviewing the allocation of fixed corporate-overhead costs to the three divisions. He is presented with the following information for each division for 2017:
| Pulp | Paper | Fiber | |
| Revenues | $19,600 | $34,200 | $51,000 |
| Direct manufacturing costs | 7000 | 15,600 | 22,200 |
| Division administrative costs | 6600 | 4000 | 9400 |
| Division margin | $6000 | $14,600 | $19,400 |
| Number of employees | 150 | 75 | 275 |
| Floor space (sq. ft.) | 26,600 | 17,670 | 50,730 |
Argentina Corporation has allocated fixed corporate-overhead costs to the divisions on the basis of division margins. Fisher asks for a list of costs that compromise fixed corporate overhead and suggests the following new allocation bases:
| fixed corporate-overhead costs | suggested allocation bases | |
| human resource management | $4,600 | number of employees |
| facility | 6,400 | floor space (sq. ft.) |
| corporate administration | 9,200 | division administrative costs |
| total | $20,200 |
32. Allocate 2017 fixed-corporate overhead costs to the three divisions using division margin as the allocation base. What is each division’ operating margin percentage (division margin minus allocated fixed corporate-overhead costs as a percentage of revenues)?
33. Allocate 2017 fixed costs using the allocation bases suggested by Fisher. What is each division’s operating margin percentage under the new allocation scheme?
Thanks
