![]() ![]() A key part of SaS approaches are APIs, allowing hooks into all sorts of sites/ services so that they can in effect talk to each other. However implementing “proper” agile programming methodology to research is problematic.īut if we stick with the programming analogy and stop thinking in terms of products, and start thinking of research as a service (akin to software as a service) then maybe there is more milage. As does having some kind of structure, particularly for focusing “group minds” on potential outputs (products), adaptation of peer programming could be useful for peer review etc. ![]() Hypothesis are there more to be broken as well as to be proved, the unexpected is embraced.īringing researchers who form part of a globally distributed team together for set periods to focus on certain aspects of research project does make sense. Whereas academic research (particularly in the education domain) tends much more open ended. ![]() Agile programming tends to have very specific, pre-defined outputs, it’s actually often not the most creative of approaches. Any research based on actual teaching practice does need more than a few sessions to generate meaningful results. Typically educational research “products” don’t really lend themselves to anything particularly agile, particularly some peer reviewed journal outputs. ![]() Now, when I heard about this I was intrigued. One of the approaches the team has been experimenting with is taking the premise of agile programming and adapting it to a research project (see Patrick’s post about the first research sprint for a bit more detail). The project is taking a collaborative research approach which includes practitioners/teachers from a number of different educational sectors and countries as well as the “core” team of researchers based at the OU. Given the global spread of project fellows a key challenge for the project is to ensure that the team are able to share their findings and experiences between themselves effectively and provide the basis and data for the OER Research Evidence Hub. News13 learned Proffitt had been terminated from the Darlington Police Department in August 2009, just before he was hired by the FCSO in September 2009.Īccording to state records, Proffitt was terminated from the DPD for “violation of agency police not involving misconduct as defined by” state regulations.As I blogged about earlier this month, I’m currently working with the OER Research Hub team helping them to evaluate their progress, outputs and future developments. He also allegedly charged the victim with trespassing even though the person who complained chose not to press charges. A judge sentenced Proffitt to longer prison terms, but he will only have to serve them if he doesn’t complete four years of probation.Īccording to the documents, Proffitt was fired after he hit a handcuffed victim several times on the top of the head with a flashlight. Proffitt pleaded guilty Monday to second-degree assault and battery and misconduct in office just before a jury was picked for his trial. Investigators say ex-Florence County deputy Brian Proffitt also left information about the beating out of his initial report in February 2019 and again in a follow-up report after being given a chance to change his story. (AP/WBTW) - A former police officer in South Carolina has been ordered to spend six months in prison for hitting a man under arrest and in handcuffs with his flashlight. ![]()
