...How Do You Decide Which Online Material On A Subject To Use In A University Assignment? How do you decide which online material on a subject to use in a University assignment? Let us suppose that your chosen subject is “managing across cultures” First you have to be sure that you understand what this means so that you can define your study and select the right materials. We will cover how you would do this another day! Let us agree that you have decided it is about how a manager should manage a team of staff from different cultural backgrounds. We will not concern ourselves today where exactly you search and find your information. It could be books, newspapers, journals, reports, blogs, Google etc. etc. Again we will cover this another day! You have searched various places and come up with a variety of material. Here are 6 examples for you to compare and contrast. 1.

...practical support resources, a policy will not be enacted, no matter how well it is articulated. The cases in this resource cover a range of academic integrity issues in Australian universities with application for a wider audience. These case studies have been developed by the Academic Integrity Standards Project. “…I suspect that every senior manager needs to have some training in the issue of academic integrity principles. I learnt mine on the job, so I think that needs to be worked through so that the policy and the implementation and the people who have that power understand those principles …So I think the case study models really useful. How would you deal with someone who had this story; you know, what would you do, and then work out what you'd do pragmatically versus where the policy fits from there.” (Senior Manager, University B, Academic Integrity Standards Project) Although they may be based on real life stories, they have been adapted and anonymised for the purposes of this project resource; pseudonyms are used in every instance. The case studies are designed to be used as triggers for discussion in group seminars and primarily target teaching staff, although they could be used for discussion with students or other academic integrity stakeholders. Support for this project/activity has been provided by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching.

...Active Reader UNIVERSITY READING TASKS Reading at university is very different from any other type of reading you may have done in the past. This is so because at university you have an enormous amount of material to read in a very short space of time. In addition, the material contains vocabulary and concepts which may be unfamiliar to you. The most effective way of coping with the volume of reading and of understanding and remembering what you read is by adopting active reading strategies. These strategies involve reading selectively, thinking about what you read and making informed choices in the use of reference sources. ACTIVE READING STRATEGIES In order to increase your reading speed, comprehension and retention you can adopt the following active reading strategies: • Read with a purpose in mind • Adjust your reading speed to suit the purpose • Preview the text before close reading • Look for main ideas in each paragraph • Use prior knowledge to understand new concepts • Study new words in context • Choose suitable dictionary sources READ WITH A PURPOSE It is not always necessary to read closely everything in the textbook or other assigned reading when you are completing an assignment. Close reading of academic texts is a slow, time-consuming activity so you need to be selective and read closely only the sections which are relevant to your task. To determine which sections are relevant you need to analyse the assignment question. You can then use speed-reading...

...Online Education Vs. Traditional Education For many students, online classes allow them to obtain or continue their education without interrupting their daily work and family time. Even though we miss out on face to face interaction with other students, online education has many benefits such as saving money and allowing more time with family. One of the common myths about online education is that it is easier than campus-based education. This is not the case. While it’s true that the difficulty of coursework involves many factors, such as models of curriculum development, the type of course, the level of education, and the learning objectives of the course, it is also true that online education presents some unique difficulties. In particular, you must be self-motivated and very good at time management.” The history of online education extends back further than most of us may think, with the very first virtual classroom was created in the 1960s. University of Illinois scientists created a classroom system based in linked computer terminals. Students were able to access informational resources while listening to a professor whose lectures were brought in remotely, via some form of television or audio device. Online only courses began emerging in the late 1980s, with some moderate success. The concept of online education became more popular as some major corporations began using similar techniques to lower the budgets they were allowed for training with businesses using software...
