Introducing Screencasts to Sport and Exercise Undergraduate Students Conducting Statistical Analysis: How Useful Are They Anyway?
Get PDFStudents \u27expect to be able to access information on demand and arrive oncampuses ready to engage with information in new ways\u27.
Screencasting is increasingly being implemented into teaching at higher education.A screencast is a video recording of a computer screen including audio to explain what is happening on the screen.
Screencasts have found to be a useful tool for students, are beneficial to learning,and increase perceived understanding and student engagement. However little isknown about the impact of this pedagogical design on students’ confidence.
Sport and Exercise students are taught research methods at Level 5 throughcompletion of a workbook. At Level 6, dissertation support sessions are oftenrequired as students struggle to retain information and lack confidence when analysing data.
We hypothesized that screencasts may provide a reasonable solution to this problem.
Aim: To evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of supplementary screencastsdesigned to improve student’s confidence in conductin

Teaching Tourism Change Agents
Get PDFThis article discusses knowledge, competencies and skills Master’s students should obtain during their academic studies and particularly, the differences between teaching about a topic and teaching to do. This is exemplified by experiential learning theory and the case of a change management course that is part of a Tourism Master’s program, where a major challenge is not only to teach students about change and change agents, but to teach them how change feels and how to become change agents. The change management course contains an experiment inspired by experiential teaching literature and methods. The experiment seeks to make students not only hear/learn about change agency and management, but to make them feel change, hereby enabling them to develop the skills and competencies necessary for them to take on the role as change agents and thus enable them to play key roles in implementing change in tourism in the future
REBUS reading lists
No full textThe Department of Business, Innovation and Skill (2016) state all higher education intuitions should not rest comfortably but that they should strive to embrace innovation and be open and diverse, matching excellence in teaching with excellent research and continuously strengthening the capacity for strategic thinking.
With strategic thinking in mind and continued motivation to provide a good learning environment when I discovered Rebus whilst studying for my PGCHPE I set about introducing this technological tool into my module.
Rebus provides a simple and intuitive interface where libraries control of the structure and hierarchy of reading lists (PTSF 2016).
It directs students with a single search to the reading material they need and once located the material can be re-sorted and filtered to make the information as easy as possible to work with (Johnson, 2016).
Hypertext links, illustrative sites, web articles and audiovisual material can all be loaded onto Rebus (Stokes and Martin, 2008).
An inbuilt report system will allow you to uncover high demand material so the library can supply additional resources to match that demand (PTSF, 2016)

\u27Not proven\u27? The curious case of the contaminated steak: a study of the Alberto Contador case and its implications for the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code
No full textFollowing his victory in the 2010 Tour de France, cyclist Alberto Contador was revealed to have tested positive during the race for the prohibited substance clenbuterol. As a result he faced a two-year ban from the sport. Contador claimed the positive result came from contaminated meat he had consumed but the relevant anti-doping authorities disagreed, claiming instead that Contador had deliberately ingested the substance via a contaminated blood transfusion. Ultimately Contador’s case was decided before an arbitration panel at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) which handed down a two-year ban.
This article will examine the Contador case in detail, focussing in particular on the difficulties arising from the interplay between the provisions of the 2009 World Anti-Doping Code relating to burdens and standards of proof and sanctioning. The analysis will draw primarily on the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) award – as well as other secondary sources and recent similar cases – to assess the extent to which the issues identified have been addressed in the revised 2015 World Anti-Doping Code.
The article also offers some thoughts on possible further amendments to the Code which might offer additional sanctioning flexibility in specific cases
