    Holistic approach to online learning: Providing a scaffold for learners
    (Flipped Learning Global, 17/07/2020) Green J; Burrow M
    The COVID-19 global pandemic necessitated rapid changes to teaching strategies in higher education. Moving an undergraduate nursing course from the traditional classroom to fully online created interesting challenges. Because much of our teaching content was already designed for the flipped learning environment (FLE), we were able to adapt to a virtual face-to-face (VFF) experience that reached every student with very little disruption to the FLE. To ensure a successful rapid pivot we prepared our students to ‘go live’ in our online classroom by offering a small, social, Virtual Happy Hour event for 112 students in the week prior to our classes resuming.

    How Batman saved the classroom
    (New Zealand Nurses Organisation, 1/02/2021) van der Krogt S; Green J; Manning C; Burrow M
    2020 was one of the most exceptional teaching years we have experienced. The pandemic and public health response severely disrupted all clinically-based teaching institutions around the world. Nursing schools everywhere were required to rapidly pivot their courses online to limit the disruption to teaching. This article highlights elements that can successfully engage nursing students in online learning. There is minimal literature discussing the need for a holistic teaching design that promotes a nonthreatening, learning environment and which encourages the free exchange of ideas and questions normally associated with face-to-face teaching. The online learning programme we designed at Massey University incorporates humour, game-based learning and consideration of students’ wellness. We believe this will be of interest to our nursing colleagues, as well as those in other professions.

    MOA-2020-BLG-208Lb: Cool Sub-Saturn-mass Planet within Predicted Desert

    We analyze the MOA-2020-BLG-208 gravitational microlensing event and present the discovery and characterization of a new planet, MOA-2020-BLG-208Lb, with an estimated sub-Saturn mass. With a mass ratio q=3.17-0.26+0.28×10-4, the planet lies near the peak of the mass-ratio function derived by the MOA collaboration and near the edge of expected sample sensitivity. For these estimates we provide results using two mass-law priors: one assuming that all stars have an equal planet-hosting probability, and the other assuming that planets are more likely to orbit around more massive stars. In the first scenario, we estimate that the lens system is likely to be a planet of mass mplanet=46-24+42M⊕ and a host star of mass Mhost=0.43-0.23+0.39M⊙, located at a distance DL=7.49-1.13+0.99kpc . For the second scenario, we estimate mplanet=69-34+37M⊕, Mhost=0.66-0.32+0.35M⊙, and DL=7.81-0.93+0.93kpc . The planet has a projected separation as a fraction of the Einstein ring radius s=1.3807-0.0018+0.0018 . As a cool sub-Saturn-mass planet, this planet adds to a growing collection of evidence for revised planetary formation models
