...Impact of Internet on Global Spread of Education A TERM PAPER IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETING By Ankush Bassi & Manoj Kr. Gupta Roll No.s: S-017 & S-048 2nd Year, 2nd Semester HYPOTHESIS The following hypothesis is to be tested in this term paper: 1. Internet is changing the way education is being delivered across the world 2. Higher education will vigorously adopt new teaching approaches 3. Change in general viewpoint on distance education. 4. Influence of university location will be affected – bricks to click. 5. Collaborative learning will be on increase. INTRODUCTION The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise — with the occasion. -Abraham Lincoln, December 1, 1862 As connection speeds increase and the ubiquity of the Internet pervades, digital content reigns. And in this era, free education has never been so accessible. The Web gives lifelong learners the tools to become autodidacts, eschewing exorbitant tuition and joining the ranks of other self-taught great thinkers in history such as Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Paul Allen and Ernest Hemingway. “Learning is not a product of schooling but the lifelong attempt to acquire it.” -Albert Einstein 10 years ago in April 2001, Charles M. Vest, the MIT President at the time, announced that the university would make its materials for all its courses freely available on the Internet...

This work would not have existed without the close cooperation of the University of Minnesota School of Physics and Astronomy and Department of Curriculum and Instruction. We have incorporated the suggestions of many faculty members from both Physics and Education at the University of Minnesota and other institutions that have communicated with us at workshops, meetings, and by e-mail. This work has depended on the efforts and feedback of many graduate student teaching assistants in the School of Physics and Astronomy over the years. Much of this development is directly based on the research of the graduate students in the University of Minnesota Physics Education Program: Jennifer...

...factors help me to have a better understanding of the type of demographic my students belong to and what type of learning styles they attain. This information will also allow me to know of any outside characteristics that may inhibit learning for an individual student and the students as a whole. For example, some students may have learning disabilities and the student’s as a whole may react negatively to artworks involving polytheism. Giving the pre-assessment allowed me to fully understand what level my students are performing for that particular unit. I have found that I need to focus a lot of time on vocabulary definitions and how to apply the terms to artwork. Prompt Results of Pre-Assessment The students in this introductory level drawing class consists of students that are required to take this class as an elective or students who have an interest in drawing and wish to pursue it. The students in this class have limited experience with the concepts and skills in drawing. The pre-assessment results allow for an analysis of where the students are in terms of general knowledge. The pre-assessment for learning goal one allowed me to have a base quality level of the students’ performance. It enables me to see what each student is capable of in terms of skill and accuracy in the beginning. In learning goal two, the questionnaire provides a quick and easy “what you know” knowledge base. It enables me to know what terms and skills they already know/have developed...

...Chapter 5 Modeling with Linear Programming 5.1 Introductory Example SilComputers makes quarterly decisions about their product mix. While their full product line includes hundreds of products, we will consider a simpler problem with just two products: notebook computers and desktop computers. SilComputers would like to know how many of each product to produce in order to maximize pro t for the quarter. There are a number of limits on what SilComputers can produce. The major constraints are as follows: 1. Each computer either notebook or desktop requires a Processing Chip. Due to tightness in the market, our supplier has allocated 10,000 such chips to us. 2. Each computer requires memory. Memory comes in 16MB chip sets. A notebook computer has 16MB memory installed so needs 1 chip set while a desktop computer has 32MB so requires 2 chip sets . We received a great deal on chip sets, so have a stock of 15,000 chip sets to use over the next quarter. 3. Each computer requires assembly time. Due to tight tolerances, a notebook computer takes more time to assemble: 4 minutes versus 3 minutes for a desktop. There are 25,000 minutes of assembly time available in the next quarter. Given current market conditions, material cost, and our production system, each notebook computer produced generates $750 pro t, and each desktop produces $1000 pro t. There are many questions SilComputer might ask. The most obvious are such things as How many of each type computer should SilComputer produce...

...Roxanne Sexcius Personal and Professional Developtment Task 1 1.1 You should prepare a detailed information pack which includes:- An evaluation of approaches to self-managed learning – in particular you decided to look at learning through research and learning from others to include mentoring/coaching, seminars, conference, secondments, interviews, use of the internet, social networks, use of bulletin boards and news groups. Self -Managed learning Self -Managed Learning also referred to as SML is what is used to describe the technique used by the managers within an organisation to enhance management development which points out the following: * How to achieve key results via live work issues * How to simultaneously control the content, processes and pace of their own learning * Being able to converse with other managers who are also assessing their own progress * Work within a structured programme facilitated by an Adviser Principles SML is an approach that is based and gains relevance due to a number of principles which are in a form of agreement made between the learner and the trainer: Learner * Have to be responsible for their own learning * Are expected to identify what their own learning needs are and for improving and making progress over time and changing their own learning needs when necessary. * Assess how they can meet their learning needs with the resources available to them.

...Organization as machine – this imagery from our industrial past continues to cast a long shadow over the way we think about management today. It isn’t the only deeply-held and rarely examined notion that affects how organizations are run. Managers still assume that stability is the normal state of affairs and change is the unusual state (a point I particularly challenge in The End of Competitive Advantage). Organizations still emphasize exploitation of existing advantages, driving a short-term orientation that many bemoan. (Short-term thinking has been charged with no less than a chronic decline in innovation capability by Clayton Christensen who termed it “the Capitalist’s Dilemma.”) Corporations continue to focus too narrowly on shareholders, with terrible consequences – even at great companies like IBM.But even as these old ideas remain in use (and indeed, are still taught), management as it is practiced by the most thoughtful executives evolves. Building on ideas from my colleague Ian MacMillan, I’d propose that we’ve seen three “ages” of management since the industrial revolution, with each putting the emphasis on a different theme: execution, expertise, and empathy.Prior to the industrial revolution, of course, there wasn’t much “management” at all – meaning, anyone other than the owner of an enterprise handling tasks such as coordination, planning, controlling, rewarding, and resource allocation. Beyond a few kinds of organization – the church, the military, a smattering...

Cunningham Visiting Professor Department of Business Administration Åbo Akademi University Turku, Finland Jean E. Harris Accounting Department Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg Campus School of Business Administration Middletown, Pennsylvania USA ABSTRACT Outside the US, the failures of Enron and Arthur Andersen remain puzzles. How could the accounting and audit failures associated with Enron and Arthur Andersen happen in the US where auditing is sophisticated, accounting principles are strong, and disclosure is emphasized? This is a teaching case for persons outside the US to review the financial reporting and auditing issues related to Enron and to explain the regulation of accounting and auditing in the US. It has broad implications for corporate governance and accounting regulation in other countries as well. n the years after the Enron Corporation declared bankruptcy in 2001 and Arthur Andersen failed in 2002, people are still asking, especially those outside the US, how could this happen? What went wrong? The US has a well-developed set of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that requires extensive disclosures in audited financial statements, and a well-established federal agency, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that monitors financial reporting.
