Our Active Learning Classroom (ALC) is designed to support interactive and technology enhanced learning. It serves as an incubation space where faculty can implement and assess new teaching and learning ideas.
The classroom is capable of numerous configurations; with computer stations at each table and multiple wall-mounted screens. The purpose of the ALC is to offer active, engaged teaching and learning experiences in a collaborative environment.

Active Assignment Weekly
WIT:
You don't have to comment on this photo, because I deleted the last one (that worm thing scared me after a while). But on a deeper level, I post things here sometimes for the wrong reason. This time I'm submitting it because I believe in it and don't care if anyone else wishes to validate it.
Right now I'm very stressed. I just became incorporated as a photography business and I'm applying for project grants to show in galleries. The gallery owners are all about money and product, and so I've been really trapped in this. My mission is to provoke storytelling in my community with the photos I create. Storytelling that provokes thought and opens minds to new ideas.
Then I saw this star flower on the ground. Lately I've been finding a lot of things on the ground, and think these things are sometimes very important. This flower is in a glass by my computer to remind me of what's important. I love all the submissions this week and always look forward to seeing what you all produce, and I'm also so amazed at how confident most of you are.
This is SOOC, except for a crop and a slight alteration in white balance.
Esmail and crew made the rounds to all the I.E. Active locations on Black Friday morning to serve hot chocolate and giveaway some free Mugs. Went to Active Rancho, Chino, Chino Hills, Corona, Temecula, and Riverside. Overall the shops did successful that day!
1989
The Active Badge was conceived, design and prototyped between 1989 and 1992. The small device, worn by a user, transmits a unique infrared signal every ten seconds. Locations within a building are equipped with one or more networked sensors that detect these transmissions. The location of the badge and its wearer is determined by the information provided by these sensors. In its original form, the badge transmitted a unique five-bit code every fifteen seconds. Successive versions expanded the functionality and address-space size of the badge, and incorporated a small microprocessor, offering bi-directional communication and a 48-bit address. A simpler version was designed for tagging equipment, and location to the desk scale, rather than the office scale, was achieved by using low-powered radio fields. One of PARC's active badges notifies computer researchers when a fresh pot of coffee is brewed.
Actively drilling petroleum well in Licking County, Ohio, USA. (October 2016) (site access generously provided by Gary Sitler for geoscience education purposes)
During the late 1800s, Ohio was the # 1 petroleum exporter on Earth. This is definitely not the case anymore! Despite this, Ohio today still has economic concentrations of oil and natural gas.
Ohio has three significant petroleum occurrences:
1) Trenton Limestone (upper Middle Ordovician) of northwestern Ohio.
2) Clinton Sandstone (Lower Silurian) of eastern Ohio.
3) Knox Group (Beekmantown Dolomite-Rose Run Sandstone-Copper Ridge/Trempealeau Dolomite) (Upper Cambrian to ?lowermost Ordovician) in the eastern ~half of Ohio.
Of these three petroleum systems, the Knox Group generally requires the deepest drilling. Most Knox Group drilling in Ohio targets the Rose Run Sandstone, an interbedded quartzose sandstone-dolostone unit of Late Cambrian age.
The well shown above is being actively drilled (as of late October 2016). It was targeting a paleotopographic high at the Knox Unconformity and hoping to encounter petroleum in porous dolostone. During this visit, the rig was drilling at a depth between 3,300 and 3,400 feet below the surface.
Update: as of spring 2017, this well was making 100 to 125 MCF a day (= 100 to 125 thousand cubic feet of natural gas) and 10 barrels of oil per day. The producing horizon is in the Upper Cambrian Copper Ridge Dolomite (also known as the Trempealeau Dolomite). Petroleum is coming from porous dolostones below the Knox Unconformity. The Knox is a megasequence boundary (Sloss sequence boundary) that separates the Sauk Megasequence below from the Tippecanoe Megasequence above.
The following are formation picks for this well (the numbers are from the completion record filed with the Ohio Division of Natural Resources, Division of Oil and Gas Resources):
430 feet depth = top of the Berea Sandstone (lowermost Devonian)
1182 feet depth = top of the "Big Lime" (= Devonian and Silurian carbonate succession, including the Delaware Limestone, Columbus Limestone, and Silurian dolostones)
1940 feet depth = top of the "Packer Shell" (= Middle Silurian Dayton Formation equivalent)
3252 feet depth = Trenton Limestone (upper Middle Ordovician, sensu traditio; lower Upper Ordovician, sensu novo)
3790 feet depth = Gull River Limestone (Middle Ordovician)
3830 feet depth = Knox Unconformity with Trempealeau Dolomite below (Upper Cambrian)
According to State of Ohio records, this well has produced the following:
2017 - 38 barrels of oil, 12,660 MCF of natural gas (= thousands of cubic feet of natural gas), 516 barrels of brine (= salt water)
2018 - 59 barrels of oil, 2828 MCF of natural gas, 175 barrels of brine
2019 - 144 MCF of natural gas
2020 - 21 MCF of natural gas, 130 barrels of brine
2021 - no production

Notes: Called the "Le Gray of Nice," Crette was born in Nice in 1823, first became active as a photographer in Rome on the via della Rocca during the early 1850s and was also a portraitist to King Victor-Emmanuel. Around 1858, he was working back in Nice, where in 1862, he opened a studio at 5, rue Saint-Etienne. In 1866, he opened a studio in Rome, via Po, #39 and later moved to Turin where he spent the rest of his life. Crette studied with Gustave Le Gray in Paris in the 1850s and then traveled with him during his voyage with Alexandre Dumas to the south of France in 1859-60.

Active Assignment Weekly Feb. 11 - 18: The Colour of Beauty
WIT: This is my jewelry tree, upon which hangs only a small fraction of my earrings. In order to hang all my earrings up, I would need a jewelry forest, I'm afraid! I set it on one of my favourite scarves, as I was going for an "antique" colour palette. The light came from the window, which reflected well on the white branches of the tree, since there wasn't that much light coming in, as you can see by the darker background. In post, adjusted the colours just a little, and cropped to 8 by 10.
