Various institutions have tried to bring change to the educational system and to bolster student accomplishments by focusing on schools, teachers, and students responsible for academic learning and achievement (Rothman, 1995). E-learning is an increasingly common form of instructional delivery available in academic and business arenas. E-learning environments are becoming more prevalent in teacher education (Skylar, Higgins, Boone, & Jones, 2005). Because of the rise in the use of technology and Web course tools, such as WebCT, Blackboard, and eCollege, the number of online courses offered in colleges and universities has increased drastically (Kartha, 2006). Institutions of higher education face issues with e-learning when it comes to...

References 60 2 A Review of Definitions Economic, social and technological forces continue to change the global economy, and the way of life in organizations and the world. In specific, these forces have and continue to revolutionize teaching and learning in organizations. Urdan & Weggen (2000) related that technology, the rapid obsolescence of knowledge and training, the need for just-in-time training delivery, and the search for cost-effective ways to meet learning needs of a globally distributed workforce have redefined the processes that underlie design, development and delivery of training and education in the workplace. In addition, Urdan &Weggen related that the need for different learning models due to skills gap and demographic changes and demand for flexible access of lifelong learning have played upon teaching and learning. In this teaching and learning evolution, however, several terms have been attached to characterize...

...Despite being slow to take hold, e-learning is now rapidly increasing in universities: “Today, almost all institutions of higher education offer some form of distance teaching and learning in the U.S.” (Saba, 2008). The historical timelines of instructional design and technology (ID&T) and distance education inform practices in place today. In this paper we track the development of these two traditions, each of which has contributed to current e-learning practice. Instructional Design and Technology: Parent Field Instructional design and technology (ID&T) is the term Robert Reiser (2001) uses for the field also known as instructional design, instructional technology, and educational technology. The core of ID&T revolves around two related practices: use of media for instruction and use of systematic design processes—known as instructional design or instructional systems design (ISD) (Reiser, 2001). We briefly trace below the development of these two strands of the field. Instructional media has been used since the early 1900s in school museums with movable exhibits. These museums appeared first in St. Louis in 1905, primarily using visual media such as photos and slides. This was known as the visual education movement. Movies were used, as per Thomas Edison’s expectation, beginning in 1910 (Reiser, 2001). Interest increased with inclusion of audio, but education did not cohesively adopt; instructional practices remained largely unchanged. This became known as the audiovisual instruction...

...the advertisement in the SCMP on January 11, 1998, I am writing to apply for the position of Computer Graphic Designer. I am currently a full-time student studying a degree course in Information Technology at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and I am due to graduate in June1998. As you can see from the enclosed CV, I have extensive experience in computer graphic design. Apart from the formal training I have obtained from my three-year course and summer programmes, I have had a number of part-time and summer jobs which have helped me to gain experience in designing computer graphics. Frequent participation in workshops, competitions and extra-curricular activities involving the subject has also allowed me to develop insight into the area. My professional training at the university requires adaptability and creative use of the resources available to produce graphics for real customers in the business world. Working as a student researcher during the last semester has further expanded my skills in data processing and graphic design, and more importantly, my ability to work independently. I feel, therefore, that I have not only the experience that you are looking for, but a number of other invaluable skills which would benefit me in this position. ------------------------------------------------- I would like to have the opportunity to discuss this position with you further.

Officers were given commissions by the monarch. Like a commission given to an artist or architect to produce a new work, these commissions laid out the scope of their duties and their responsibilities in the specific office or position they were appointed to. And they served at the pleasure of the king (or queen), meaning they could be dismissed by the monarch at any time. These traditions applied throughout the Royal Navy, including in ships stationed in Britain’s North American colonies. During the War for Independence, the Continental Navy maintained these traditions. And after the U.S. achieved its independence from Britain, both the Revenue Marine (starting in 1790) and Navy (beginning in 1798) carried them forward.

...much. All of you have good writing skills. Anyway, my advice on this matter is: [1] Have a look at some SOPs *now* or early next SEM. [2] When it's time to write your own SOP, do it *fully* by yourself. Do not look at anybody else's SOP. [3] Having made version 1.0 of your SOP, *now* take a look at as many SOPs as you can of guys in your area. Borrow points from then which you think are good. [4] Your SOP does not have to be too big. We at IITB tend to write long SOPs (1.5 to 2 pages) whereas IITM guys (who get better schools!)Usually write 0.75 page (max. 1 page). Basically, their SOPs are much more direct and to-the-point than ours. [5] REMEMBER THAT A SOP *MUST* BE ORIGINAL. Statement of Purpose I am applying to Stanford University for admission to the Ph.D. program in Computer Science. I am interested in Theoretical Computer Science, particularly in the Design and Analysis of Approximation Algorithms, Combinatory and Complexity Theory. My interest in Mathematics goes back to the time I was at school. This interest has only grown through my years in school and high school, as I have learnt more and more about the subject. Having represented India at the International Mathematical Olympiads on two occasions, I have been exposed to elements of Discrete Mathematics, particularly Combinatory and Graph Theory, outside the regular school curriculum at an early stage. The intensive training programs we were put through for the Olympiads have given me...

...Asian Studies Master’s Program in Asian Studies Master’ East and South-East Asia Track Spring semester, 2011 The Development of the Uppsala Model A Study of Samsung Electronics Author: Li Zhou Supervisor: Magnus Andersson Abstract: Based on an explorative case study approach, this thesis investigated whether the Uppsala model functioned in Samsung Electronics Corp. (SEC) case. The purpose of this study was to upgrade the Uppsala model by using a representative case of SEC. This thesis found that there are two dimensions derived from the Uppsala model. The first dimension is the sequential nature of the internationalization process in terms of psychic distance (from the market with close psychic distance to the market with remote psychic distance). The second dimension is a “market commitment” dimension, which means the form of market operation established from low-level commitment to high-level commitment. Two hypotheses derived from the two dimensions of the Uppsala model will be applied in SEC case. The first hypothesis is that the shorter the psychic distance between SEC’s home environment and target markets, the earlier will SEC establish foreign activities in those markets and vice versa. This hypothesis will be tested on a the macro-level with regards to the geographical distribution of Korean1 outward FDI and will be tested again during the internationalization process of SEC in two target markets-China and the US, to estimate how psychic distance functioned in SEC internationalization...

...The importance of science education for children Published 03/11/2008 Science Communication 17 Comments Tags: Science Education One of the features of wordpress is a list of what web searches have led people to your blog (or at least hits anyway) and they themselves can be fascinating glimpses into what people are interested in or what information on (mostly Tyrannosaurus and Jurassic Park). A recent one was the title of this post and it is a very interesting question (precisely it was “what is the importance of teaching science to children?”). Apart from the fundamental answer (well, everyone should know a bit about biology, chemistry and physics, much as they should know a bit about history, geography, art and maths) it is a good question. What does science bring to the table? It’s hard to put in specific terms, but science as a concept (as opposed to just learning facts and theories, or heating stuff in test tubes) has some nice ideas to offer that would be useful for many people to learn and would be useful throughout their lives. Concepts such as logical deductions and inference, parsimony, and not accepting arguments (or dismissals) based on authority but from evidence, and scepticism would all be handy. Teaching someone how to appraise and evaluate conflicting evidence and any bias in that evidence would be useful ‘life skills’ for pretty much everyone. Let’s face it, it ultimately comes down to trying to spot patterns, work out reasons for them, and to spot errors...
