The system decomposition theory has recently been developed for the dynamic analysis of nonlinear compartmental systems. The application of this theory to the ecosystem analysis has also been introduced in a separate article. Based on this methodology, multiple new dynamic ecological system measures and indices of matrix, vector, and scalar types are systematically introduced in the present paper. These mathematical system analysis tools are quantitative ecological indicators that monitor the flow distribution and storage organization, quantify the direct, indirect, acyclic, cycling, and transfer (diact) effects and utilities of one compartment on another, identify the system efficiencies and stress, measure the compartmental exposures to system flows, determine the residence times and compartmental activity levels, and ascertain the system resilience and resistance in the case of disturbances. The proposed dynamic system measures and indices, thus, extract detailed information about ecosystems’ characteristics, as well as their functions, properties, behaviors, and various other system attributes that are potentially hidden in and even obscured by data. A dynamic technique for the quantitative characterization and classification of main interspecific interactions and the determination of their strength within food webs is also developed based on the diact effect and utility indices. Moreover, major concepts and quantities in the current static network analyses are also extended to nonlinear dynamic settings and integrated with the proposed dynamic measures and indices in this unifying mathematical framework. Therefore, the proposed methodology enables a holistic view and analysis of ecological systems. We consider that the proposed methodology brings a novel complex system theory to the service of urgent and challenging environmental problems of the day and has the potential to lead the way to a more formalistic ecological science.

What is communication (and what isn’t it)?
The P21 framework emphasizes effective use of oral, written, and nonverbal communication skills for multiple purposes (e.g., to inform, instruct, motivate, persuade, and share ideas). It also focuses on effective listening, using technology to communicate, and being able to evaluate the effectiveness of communication efforts—all within diverse contexts (adapted from P21). Note that working in partners is a great way to collaborate or build shared understanding but a critical part of communication is sharing with an authentic audience.

Agile project management is not a singular framework — rather, it can be used as an umbrella term to include many different frameworks. Agile project management can refer to terms including Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), and Adaptive Project Framework (APF).

The Agile methodology is a way to manage a project by breaking it up into several phases. It involves constant collaboration with stakeholders and continuous improvement at every stage. Once the work begins, teams cycle through a process of planning, executing, and evaluating. Continuous collaboration is vital, both with team members and project stakeholders.

In this FAQ article, we share everything you need to know about Agile methodologies, Agile project management, and Agile methodology frameworks. We’ll also explain how you can use our Agile teamwork template to get started with Agile even faster.

Kicking off Class with a Plan!
A lesson plan can serve as an educator's road map... including what students need to learn and how that learning will be facilitated within the time span of the experience. Lesson plans can help you feel more confident while maximizing positive student outcomes. Class prep doesn't have to be a chore this semester! In addition to providing an easy-to-use framework for lesson design, this interactive workshop will introduce participants to an online tool for planning effective, inclusive class sessions... PLUS the new Brainstorming Tool for the first time! This tool uses expertly-prompted AI to generate effective lecture plans, discussion questions, case studies, and more. This is the perfect way to get hands-on practice with Teaching Tools' entire suite of applications that will revolutionize your class prep workflow. Participants will have the chance to explore the tool, ask questions, and leave the session with a new tool in their educator toolbox.


Setting the Stage...
When class prep is difficult and time consuming it…

Doesn’t happen at all
Doesn’t happen very often
Isn’t very effective
This results in…

Winging it
10-year old lesson plan (often inaccessible)
Decreased motivation
Teaching Tools (according to the site)
"We build technologies that promote effective, inclusive college teaching. By translating evidence-informed pedagogical research into easy-to-use online tools, we make good teaching practices more accessible to college instructors of all disciplines and experience levels. Our tools are designed to complement the services offered by Centers for Teaching and Learning, Instructional Technology units, and your LMS. We add value by providing innovative solutions tailored to the higher ed teaching and learning context. Launched in February 2022, Teaching Tools is a registered limited liability company in Maryland."
