Questionnaire sur la prévention du plagiat
Présentation suggérée du questionnaire : J'ai créé cette banque de questions afin d’évaluer la compréhension par les étudiants du tutoriel sur la prévention du plagiat. Le questionnaire est configuré à l’intérieur du système de gestion de cours en ligne. Le format en ligne permet au professeur une certaine souplesse. Par exemple, une option serait de présenter un questionnaire comprenant 10 questions qui reprend, au hasard, deux questions (une question vrai ou faux et une question à choix multiples) provenant de chacune des cinq sections du tutoriel. Je permets aux étudiants de reprendre le questionnaire autant de fois qu'ils le désirent jusqu'à ce qu’ils le maîtrisent.

The Secret of Building Successful Teams
Successful organizations depend on successful teamwork, and according to Arizona State University psychological scientist Nancy J. Cooke what you think you know about teamwork is probably wrong; creating a high-performing team is about much more than simply trying to recruit the best and the brightest (which research shows can backfire anyway). For tasks that require a high degree of cognitive complexity, from brain surgery to manufacturing a car, it is impossible for any single individual to completely understand all of the components necessary for the task.

Reproducibility Project Named Among Top Scientific Achievements of 2015
The journal Science has named a major attempt to replicate 100 papers published in top-tier psychology journals as one of the “breakthroughs of the year” for 2015. This collaborative project, facilitated by the Center for Open Science and APS Fellow Brian Nosek, has been recognized as a major scientific achievement by psychology but also by science as a whole. The results were sobering for the field -- less than half of results replicated -- but they also provided a valuable estimate of the replicability of psychology papers and are motivating new attempts to improve reproducibility. Science published the results of the project in August 2015.
