Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: In this fully online 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.

"Hyperspectral imaging of upper atmosphere at UMass Lowell"
Supriya Chakrabarti
Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology
University of Massachusetts, Lowell
Wednesday, November 1, 2017
12;30 pm to 1:30 pm
SMAST West, Room 204
706 S. French Rodney Blvd, New Bedford, MA
Abstract:
Over the years our group has developed various optical imaging techniques for challenging ground- and space-based applications from lidars to spectral imagers to interferometers. In this talk I will describe instrumentation and science results from two hyperspectral imagers – a high-resolution ground-based spectrograph operating in the visible range and a space-based limb-viewing ultraviolet (60 – 140 nm) spectrograph. Both instruments are used to probe the upper atmosphere for a deeper understanding of the physical characteristics of the atmosphere and ionosphere, their morphology and their response to solar events (space weather).
The spaceflight instrument is called Limb-Imaging Ionospheric and Thermospheric Extreme-ultraviolet Spectrograph (LITES). It was launched aboard a SpaceX launcher on February 19, 2017 and was subsequently installed on the International Space Station (ISS). I will also describe the High Throughput and Multi-slit Imaging Spectrograph (HiT&MIS), a ground-based instrument. Both LITES and HiT&MIS are operational and I will show science results from these observations.

Italian Film Series
- Location: > See description for location
- Cost: 0
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: Italian Film Series - "Nothing Left To Do But Cry" (1984),
7:00 PM on Wednesday, November 1, 2017
Liberal Arts room 117
Join us for our 3rd Annual Italian Film Series at UMass Dartmouth, co-sponsored by the Foreign Literature and Languages Department and the History Department. This semester, we will be delving into various films of the commedia italiana (Italian comedy) that make light of and meddle with the past.
Our second film of this semester will be the Italian Bill and Ted "Nothing Left To Do But Cry (1984):
Saverio, a teacher, and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, travel back in time and find themselves in central Italy at the end of the 15th century. They will have to come to grips with the grotesque situation in which they find themselves, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally making fools of themselves in the eyes of "normal" renaissance folks. (IMDB).
Free admission. All films have English subtitles.
Any questions may be directed to Prof. Rose Facchini at rose.facchini@umassd.edu or Prof. Matthew Sneider at msneider@umassd.edu.

Seminar Announcement
“Economic Impact of the Port of New Bedford”
Edward Anthes-Washburn
New Bedford Harbor Development Commission
Wednesday, November 1, 2017
3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
SMAST East, Rooms 101/102
836 S. Rodney French Blvd, New Bedford
Abstract:
The Port of New Bedford is located in the New Bedford/Fairhaven Harbor along the southern coast of Massachusetts. In addition to being the highest value fishing port in the United States, the Port also handles cargo, and several forms of recreational boating are located throughout the Harbor. In 2015, an estimated 140 million pounds of seafood landed at the Port of New Bedford. This seafood was harvested and processed by local fleet operators and processors located in New Bedford. The 40 plus processors not only processed this locally-caught seafood, but also an additional 250 million pounds of seafood from around the world. The non-seafood cargo handled at the Port totaled 280,000 tons in 2015 and included petroleum, aggregates, and imported fruit. The Harbor is also home to many recreational boating activities such as water taxis, ferries, and seven recreational marinas that moored approximately 570 recreational boats in the 2015.
