Leadership

Approaches to leadership vary across cultures. Global leaders today not only need to know how to inspire and lead people from a range of different cultures, but they also need to create ways to lead people with very different backgrounds simultaneously. Moreover, the challenge of twenty-first-century leadership is not simply business prosperity. Today’s leadership challenge is to design innovative approaches that simultaneously create successful companies and successful societies’ (Adler & Gundersen, Chp 6 p.174).

Discuss your experiences with leading across different cultures. What was effective and what was not.

 Overview

This week, we will focus on the planning logistics and management for instructional strategy. We will discuss how to choose a delivery system for conducting instruction, how to organize content, and how to select media for an instructional strategy.

Then, we will move forward to the step of “Developing and Selecting Instructional Materials” in the Dick and Carey model. We will take a look at what needs to be included in the instructional package, how to evaluate existing instructional materials, the steps involved in the instructional material development, and resources that you can use to develop your own instructional material.

 Week 5 Discussion: Using Media and Visuals to Capture Attention

This is a whole class discussion.

The ARCS Model is mentioned several times in our course text.  The first component, Attention, is an incredibly important aspect of increasing the interest level (and potentially engagement level) of the learner.  One method to grab or capture a learner’s attention is to begin a chunk of instruction with a relevant and engaging visual or media.

For this week’s post, look carefully at the content of your learning module.  Locate (existing material/resource) or develop (original material/resource) an example of a visual or media source that could be used to introduce the topic in an active, engaging, thought-provoking, or exciting manner.

Example visuals or media source include (not limited to):

  • video clip
  • infographic
  • audio clip
  • cartoon
  • photograph
  • meme

In your initial post (due Wednesday, midnight EST), include the following:

  • Brief description of the topic you are addressing (chunk of instruction or module as a whole—whichever this example directly applies to)
  • Visual or Media — link to it or upload the file
  • Brief rationale as to why you felt this would grab the learner’s attention

It is here where your essay must include critical analysis of the way the iconic garment has been reimagined and recreated.

Prepare a reflection on your use of the guidelines for ethical and rigorous historical research. What was your experience of attempting to limit generalization, anachronism, and use of weak sources?

Early Medieval Cultures Essay

This assignment provides you with an opportunity to discuss an insight you gained in this unit by comparing the development of two Early Medieval cultures.
For this assignment, choose two specific Western cultures between 632-1000 C.E. Using these, build a comparison that identifies at least three differences and three similarities from political leadership, and economic and social and/or cultural elements. Highlight any shared influences, biases, and perspectives. Before your conclusion, you will write a paragraph in which you reflect on the guidelines for ethical and rigorous study of cultures detailed at the beginning of the unit lesson (mentioned in Step 1 below). As you finish your assignment, include conclusions drawn from both your comparisons and your reflection. The assignment steps below will provide more guidance.

Step 1: Review the section at the beginning of the Unit Lesson entitled “Be Careful When Making Historical Assumptions.”

Step 2: Choose two appropriate sources, not including the textbook. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. The Academic Search Ultimate and eBook Academic Collection databases in the CSU Online Library would be good places to start your search. Resources should be credible and peer-reviewed by historians and cannot include Wikipedia, Biography.com, History.com, or any other .com site; resources should also not be taken from any type of message board or other encyclopedia-type sites, including those listed in the CSU Online Library research guides, which are provided for quick reference only and not for paper research.
If you need additional help with using or locating information in the CSU Online Library, there are library video tutorials available on the main page of the online library under the heading “Research Guides.”

Step 3: Complete your research using the guidelines on ethical and rigorous research you reviewed in Step 1:
Choose two specific times and locations to research. Specific times and locations are necessary to avoid generalization.
Avoid all generalization beyond the data you have researched on those times and locations, including projections of your own views.
Avoid anachronism, which is the use of data or circumstances from today as if they are evidence of what the past means. Form your conclusions using only data from the past.
Compare like terms, meaning the same kinds of things, in a point-by-point comparison (rather than writing about one culture and then the other).
Consider artifacts and other cultural products.
Use strong sources as indicated above.
Include at least one comparison drawn from each of the following: 1) politics; 2) social organization or cultural products; and 3) the economy.

Step 4: Prepare a reflection on your use of the guidelines for ethical and rigorous historical research. What was your experience of attempting to limit generalization, anachronism, and use of weak sources? The assignment is not considered complete without this component.

Step 5: Write your essay in this order without headings: introduction, comparisons, reflection, conclusions. Your essay must be at least 500 words in length. Review the guidelines on essay writing that were presented at the end of the Unit III Scholarly Activity instructions; they will help guide you in this assignment.

• removing the lug nuts,
• lifting the flat tire off the axle,
• bending over and lifting the spare tire out of the trunk,
• placing the spare tire on the car,
• tightening the lug nuts, and
• placing the flat tire in the trunk.

What specific movements would be required to perform these tasks. Use the textbook Appendix B Physical Risk Factor checklist to explain your answers. Also, discuss the possible work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) that could occur.
