Exciting Economics!

This effort explored applied microeconomics...

 

Our participants were able to raise HUNDREDS of dollars for both

the Alberta Children's Hospital

and the Calgary Humane Society.

 

All this success, in the midst of a macroeconomic challenge, eh?

AMAZING EFFORT, EVERYONE!

Mmm good...

It's a challenge to raise hundreds of dollars in this economy!

P&P preparation...

A lot of effort, team work, and creativity went into this project for Economics!

Demand and Suppy were assessed, for products including the following:

• pens
• pop
• snacks
• custom made jewellery

The Good people of BAM Goodies...

Raising money for the Alberta Children's Hospital can be a lot of work...

and a lot of fun!

 

P&P in action...

"Demand & Supply" stations were set-up on both

the classroom level

and the main floor of our office building.

 

Over the course of the exciting week, this ensured a lively lunch hour, eh?!

Delicious BAM Goodies...

Thank you to Ivona, Lulla, Moise, Ramandeep, Ruxandra, Sara, and Zachary for their wonderful results!

Participants in this Economics group were able to "Supply" some high quality treats, eh?

Thank you!

The P&P Sale group, within the Economics class of CDI, were able to generate hundreds of dollars for the Calgary Humane Society.

Way to go, Natalie, Anna, Alex, Christine, Claris, Jennifer, Paul, and Trey!

PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTOR EDUCATION - from content experts to Instructors...

Across Canada, we hired content experts to teach an array of courses selected from a library of approximately 1,000 topics. For content experts without formal Instructor training, we created "train-the-trainer" courses by implementing Professional Instructor Education (PIE). PIE was a collection of asynchronous online courses tied with online certification exams that could be completed on an individual basis. Once a specified number of online courses activities were completed, including multiple choice quizzes, games, and short answer responses, an individual was provided with an online certificate of completion from PIE.

The collection of PIE courses were offered to over 500 staff, with a 100% adoption rate.  Completion rates after a semi-annual assessment for the Alberta region was approximately 85% for staff instructors.

Apple and the War for the Mobile Market

The short history of the computer industry is dominated by two well-known stories: How mainframe makers failed to take the personal computer seriously until it was too late, and how Apple refused to license its innovative new operating system and ended up ceding the market to Microsoft.

Unless Apple learns from its mistakes it's going to end up with a Macintosh-like minority market share again -- in mobile.
