Multi-Language Implementation Framework for Legacy and New Systems
Get PDFGlobalization is in the mind of business owners and managers all over the world. From small family-based companies in the suburb to big corporations, everyone knows that the world (for now) is the limit. For these people, using an IT system that speaks their language is something taken for granted. This paper presents a multi-language implementation framework that can be used in new as well as legacy systems. For new systems, it can be an integral part of the application’s backbone while for legacy systems it can be used as a totally independent translation system. We will go through some implementation aspects of our proposed framework without going too deep into technical details, allowing the reader to understand the concept without any technical background.departmental bulletin pape
The Pedagogical Benefits of CRS use in Small-Group and Culturally- specific Settings: A Pilot use and Study of Student Perceptions
Get PDFElectronic classroom response systems (or CRS) are tools used to engage students in material; promote discussion; and offer teachers an immediate way to measure lesson and learning effectiveness. Their benefits are well understood for large class sizes and lectures. However, we have been interested to study how they might perform in small classroom settings and to assist educators and students to overcome social and pedagogical constraints peculiar to Japan and ESL contexts. It’s mainly been our wish to find ways to circumvent a certain reticence on the part of students to participate more dynamically in classroom discussions and to offer feedback as to their comprehension of concepts. In this paper we begin by describing the general rationales for using CRS and some description of practices employed. This includes some anecdotal reflections. We then describe our very simple (and small sample size) survey results on student perceptions of the system(s). This generally revealed CRS to be positively viewed on self-assessment of performance and engagement; and as a continuous assessment tool (and welcome alternative to traditional mid-term and final exam formulae). Lastly, the authors discuss CRS juxtaposed with traditional and new constraints in teaching and urge educators to reckon with the cognitive and wider culturally affected and adapted attributes of today’s students.departmental bulletin pape
