  • Kickoff Dialogue, part 2: Groupwork, Teamwork, and other Active Learning Strategies amid the Pandemic
  • Location: > See description for location
  • Contact: Office of Faculty Development
  • Description: Claire T. Carney Library Room 213 The return to campus this semester introduces something of a paradox. On the one hand, we look forward to engaging our students in the classroom in ways we've missed over the past three semesters: through discussion, small group activities, project-based assignments, and other active learning pedagogies. On the other hand, we are teaching and learning still in pandemic times, and some conventional practices (i.e. forming small discussion circles, asking students to move around the classroom, circulating the room and joining group discussions) may be met with caution or even fear by students and instructors alike. How, then, shall we approach active learning amid a pandemic? Join Jay Zysk, Ricardo Rosa, and Monika Schuler for an open dialogue on various strategies and practices for collaborative, active learning as we return to campus. What technologies might we use to foster interaction while maintaining physical space? How can we communicate effectively while masking indoors? How can we creatively work with our classroom spaces to create learning environments that are active, engaging, and dynamic? How can we rethink group work and other team-based pedagogies, perhaps with the aid of some instructional technologies we've implemented over the past several semesters? To register, please email Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu. In-person participation will be limited to the first 10 registrants; virtual participation is available to anyone. Please make your preference known when registering. Lunch is provided for in-person participants.

  • Description: The School for Marine Science and Technology Department of Fisheries Oceanography Masters Thesis Defense Announcement "Effects of feed attractants and feeding frequency on the performance of tautog (Tautoga onitis) in recirculating aquaculture systems" By Michael Coute Graduate Advisor & Dissertation Committee Chair: Dr. Pingguo He (UMassD Fisheries Oceanography) Committee: Dr. Kevin Stokesbury (UMassD Fisheries Oceanography) Dr. Dan Ward (Ward Aquafarms) Thursday, September 16, 2021 9:00 am - 10:00 am SMAST East, Rooms 101, 102, 103 and via Zoom Abstract Tautog (Tautoga onitis) are a valuable commercial and recreational finfish species along the western Atlantic coastline, but high demand has led to depleted populations. To counter this decline, tautog have been identified as a candidate for finfish aquaculture. Worldwide, aquaculture is the main source of fish for human consumption and is propelled by advancements in technology and production. Two important aspects of finfish farms include the type of feed, and the techniques associated with feed delivery. Growth performance was tested by comparing diets supplemented with feed attractants in the form of hydrolysates created from Atlantic longfin squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) and green crab (Carcinus maenas). Additionally, tautog feeding behavior was incorporated into culture methods by focusing on how and when feed was distributed to individual fish. Fish were fed the same weight(g) of commercial pellets at different intervals throughout the day and night. The aims of this thesis were to 1) document the role of protein hydrolysates as feed attractants and resulting growth rates of tautog in recirculating aquaculture systems, 2) determine if feeding frequency influences tautog feeding behavior. Feed attractants do not stimulate growth of tautog when compared to control diets. Average consumption was influenced by feeding frequency, with the most frequent feeding regime resulting in the lowest average consumption however, individual fish did not exhibit this pattern. This work offers strategies to develop comprehensive feeding regimes for regional farmers and researchers interested in tautog aquaculture. **************************************************************************** Zoom information: https://umassd.zoom.us/s/93910666318 **************************************************************************** For additional information, please contact Sue Silva at s1silva@umassd.edu.
