Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: In this course, we will introduce you to current research and best practices for online teaching as well as showcase examples of successful teaching strategies for the online environment.
Throughout the course you will work both independently and collaboratively with your peers to gain valuable online course transition experience and develop your own strategies for online teaching and learning. As a participant, you will learn both pedagogical aspects of teaching online as well as how to use and incorporate many of the tools available in the myCourses Learning Management System used at UMassD.
The ultimate goal of the course is to have you begin planning, organizing, and building the online course you eventually plan to teach. In addition, this course will introduce you to techniques that will teach you how to self-assess course site design to ensure student ease of access to course content and to facilitate more streamlined student learning and increase retention.

Fine Arts Faculty Exhibition & Collaborative Aggregates Art Scholarship Exhibition
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Cost: free
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: An exhibition of Fine Arts faculty at the College of Visual and Performing Arts presents recent faculty work in Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Sculpture, and Mixed-Media at the UMass Dartmouth CVPA Campus Gallery from November 8 through December 12, 2016.
Also on display will be the Collaborative Aggregates Art Scholarship Exhibition. Collaborative Aggregates has awarded six $1,500 scholarships to students in the Department of Fine Arts enrolled in the graduate or undergraduate program: Henry Carpio, April Claggett, Devin Kish, Andrew Laverty, Allen TenBusschen, and Erin Wheary. Works by each scholarship winner will be included in the Collaborate Aggregates annual calendar and are also presented in this exhibition.
The mission of the Department of Fine Arts is to maintain an environment where artists are committed to the pursuit of teaching, research, and creative work. This faculty of professional artists provides a high-quality cross-disciplinary studio education to students at the foundation, undergraduate, and graduate levels through formal, aesthetic, technical, and intellectual training. Faculty members prepare students to become creative artists, pursue graduate study, or engage in Fine Arts-related professions through the attainment of their BFA and MFA degrees.
The closing reception will be held on Monday, December 12th, from 4 pm to 6 pm with artist talks at 5 pm.

Research Component of PhD Qualifier Exam by: MD Nashid Anjum
- Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
- Cost: Free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: TOPIC: Co-Existence in Millimeter-Wave Wireless Body Area Network
LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
A WBAN consists of few wearable sensors attached to body parts, clothes, implanted underneath the skins or inner body. A WBAN consists of a central hub (i.e., base station) that controls and communicates with sensors. WBANs may deeply overlap on each other in a crowded area such as hospital because of their rapid mobility, small network size, flexible topology, and higher network density. This overlapping may raise severe interference issues. In case of deeply overlapping WBANs, interference avoidance employing power control schemes is plausibly unrealistic, because, nodes and hub from other network may stay much closer than nodes and hub of its own network. In this research work, we formulate the WBAN self-coexistence problem as a linear integer programming optimization problem considering service priorities and user demands and propose a solution named Fair Frame Distribution for Self-coexistence (FDS).
Further, I found that 60 GHz based communication is probably the best fit for WBAN compared to the traditional 2.4 GHz based communication considering its quality of compact network coverage, device miniaturization, efficient frequency reuse, multi-gigabyte transmission rate, and the therapeutic merits for human health. The efficiency of the mmWave based WBAN can be improved by allowing coexistence i.e., mitigating interference among the WBANs. We formulate the coexistence problem as non-cooperative, distributed power control game. The existence of Nash equilibrium is proved and the efficiency of the Nash equilibrium is improved by modifying the utility function and introducing a linear and an exponential pricing factor. Simulation result shows the proposed pricing policy significantly improves the efficiency of the optimal solution with respect to Pareto optimality and social optimality. To introduce different service priority levels such as delay sensitivity this research work utilizes the concept of discount factor employing repeated game. Though both of pricing and repeated game significantly improve the efficiency of the optimal equilibrium. This research work employed Nash bargaining solution to improve fairness of the optimal equilibrium. Extensive simulation result shows that Nash bargaining solution significantly improves the equilibrium efficiency and fairness.

- Location: > See description for location
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: The weekend of Friday, October 7th, 2016, 35 UMassD students and four
chaperones traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in several social
justice focused initiatives. The trip featured a visit to the newly
constructed Smithsonian National Museum of African American History
and Culture (NMAAHC) among other important sites.
Join us at this report back to hear from student participants as they
share insight from this co-curricular experience and amazing moments
from their weekend stay. Students will present on various topics using
an array of formats to engage the audience. The report back is scheduled for Wednesday, November 16, 2016 from 4PM-6PM in the Claire T. Carney Library Robert F. Stoico/FIRSTFED Grand Reading Room.
For more information please contact the FDUH staff at (508) 999-9222.
