Design and Pedagogy Features in Online Courses: A survey
No full textPurpose: The study investigates the preferences of instructors and students for design and pedagogy features of online instruction at the post-graduate level. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was carried out using questionnaire as a data gathering tool. Characteristics and features were identified through a comprehensive literature review combined with focus groups. Various design and pedagogy features were identified and the items were structured in a Likert Scale format. Respondents were asked to rate their preferences on a five-point scale, ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree, for each individual feature. Participants include 7 instructors and 50 students at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).An independent sample T-test was conducted to determine if there was a significant difference between the preferences of instructors and students on the rating of individual features.Scope: To better understand the design and pedagogy features of online instruction, India’s largest e-learning academic institution IGNOU was selected.Findings: Major findings include the high level of agreement on design and pedagogy features by instructors and students and the similarities in rank order by both students earning regular university credit and those pursuing professional development goals. When compared with the ranking of instructors and students, low preferences were being placed on social interactive features.Practical Implications: While there are many parallels between face-to-face teaching and online instruction, there are some differences also. Asynchronous online instruction must be designed in advance of being delivered.Keywords: Pedagogy; e-learning; Continuing education; Online instruction; Development expertisePaper Type: Researc
Appraisal and Dissemination of Open Source Operating Systems and other Utilities
No full textPurpose: In recent years there has been a substantial development in the arena of open source software (OSS) development.

This paper presents a survey of the Open Source Operating System GNU/Linux and discusses its intricacies at length. It also throws light on some of the extremely popular open source utilities used in diverse sub-domains of Computer Science and Engineering.Methodology: A profound survey and analysis has been undertaken with regard to the open source to build this compilation.Findings: The appraisal and dissemination has found that there is a square increment in the usage of OSS in both academia as well as in the industry. It also throws light on the near future of OSS usage.Research Implications: Any appraise or survey that is conducted today is bound to be superannuated tomorrow. Nevertheless, OSS will continue to remain in the market with newer trends coming in. The paper can be a motivation for further contributions to OSS.Originality/ Value: The paper conglomerates diverse domain OSS that are used in the market, and highlights their usage with emphasis on their other features as well.Keywords: Open Source; GNU/ Linux; Utilities; Debian; Mozilla; Apache Web Server; My SQL.Paper Type: Surve

No full textThe Alexandria Digital Library Project Review, Assessment, and Prospects
No full textThe Alexandria Digital Library (ADL) was established in the late 1990s as a response to several perceived problems of traditional map libraries, notably access and organization. By 1999 it had evolved into an operational digital library, offering a well-defined set of services to a broad user community, based on an extensive collection of georeferenced information objects. The vision of ADL continues to evolve, as technology makes new services possible, as its users become more sophisticated and demanding, and as the broader field of geographic information science (GlScience) identifies new avenues for research and application

No full textLIBRARIES AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN LATIN AMERICA
No full textThe paper reviews experiences on library services to indigenous people developed in Latin America, from Argentina to Mexico. It provides a brief introduction to the reality of native communities all around the continent, and points out the outstanding projects on this issue. Since native populations are subjected to serious problems -such as discrimination, social exclusion, diseases, unemployment, loss of identity, endangered languages and cultural pressure-it argues that libraries can become an option to the recovery of culture and a way to guarantee the egalitarian access to strategic information, a resource that is vital for a balanced development and progress.KEYWORDS: Indigenous People; Latin America-Libraries; Latin America-Cultur
