    Facing the Future: the Changing Shape of Academic Skills Support at Bournemouth University

    No full text
    This paper explores the potential impact of changes to higher education in England on student expectations, engagement, lifestyles and diversity, and outlines implications for the development of digital literacy within academic skills support at Bournemouth University (BU). We will investigate how tackling resource constraints with organisational change can also enable efficient, centralised provision of support materials that utilise networks to overcome the risk of fragmented support for digital literacy. We will also look at how changing delivery modes for support can accommodate changing student lifestyles whilst tackling a weakness of centralised support for digital literacy: that it can become detached from the student’s subject-focused academic practice. Finally we will explore how involving students in developing support can help us to face changes to student expectations and engagement whilst ensuring that materials are authentic and speak to learners in their own voice

    Bridge Over Troubled Water: QR coding the collection for student satisfaction

    No full text
    Since 2012, BU (Bournemouth University) library have been highlighting available, relevant e-books by embedding QR codes in our printed book collection. This chapter will focus on the drivers and intended outcomes for the project and will discuss the characteristics of successful QR campaigns that we have considered to achieve our aims. A more practical discussion of project implementation is in press at the time of writing (Ford, 2013)

    The dramaturgy of the tragedies of John Webster and John Ford with special reference to their use of stage imagery.

    No full text
    PhDThe imagery of the plays of John Webster and John Ford is not only verbal: in staging as well as language these dramas display strongly imagistic, symbolic elements. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the seven extant tragedies of Webster and Ford from the point of view of their total dramatic nature - to examine the staging, costumes, hand and large properties, movement and gestures as well as the verbal imagery, and the interplay of these verbal and visual elements. The original appearance, of these plays in their contemporary theatre, and the dramatist's intentions for performance, can only be surmised. The original stage directions are examined for hints of the original presentation: these stage directions may not always be authorial, but, especially in the case of Ford, they seem to reveal the playwright's hand. The dialogue, too, frequently implies particular gestures, grouping or stage placement. The visual imagery, it is here suggested, is created by the dramatist for several purposes: a moral or ironical point may be silently established; a chain of related visual motifs may bind various actions and characters into an organic union; a visualization may appeal outward to other works of art or theatrical or non-dramatic conventions, enlarging the immediate significance by this shorthand reference; visual ceremonies may make concrete the more ephemeral words and feelings of the characters. Each of the tragedies is studied in a separate chapter, in the following order: Webster's The White Devil, The Duchess of Malfi, and Appius and Virginia (the authorship of which is disputed); John Ford's The Broken Heart, Love's Sacrifice, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, and Perkin Warbeck. A conclusion indicates the differences between Webster's more overtly theatrical visualizations and Ford's quiet tableaux. The thesis is accompanied by illustrations which are either explanatory or comparative

    Identifying improvements to the engine assembly line simulation philosophies within Ford Motor Company

    Full text link
    Ford Motor Company (Ford) utilise unique simulation models to represent the behaviour of their diesel engine assembly lines. The simulation model is a computerised tool used to support modification decisions that affect the assembly processes and productivity of the lines. The stakeholders, who use the simulation outputs, lack complete confidence in them. The doubt appears to stem from a lack of documentation to prove that the model accurately represents the assembly line. This research aims to increase confidence in existing simulation models of the engine assembly lines in Ford. To achieve this, the logic behaviour of the existing Lion Assembly Line (LAL) is analysed. It is found that the LAL can be decomposed into repeatable elements by identifying common attributes and inter-element boundaries. Representational logic diagrams are produced, then verified and validated from the perspectives of key stakeholder functions. The accurate logic diagrams are composed into an Assembly Line Specification (ALS) which is used to identify gaps and correlations between the actual LAL behaviour and the simulated logic. The findings are that the simulation accurately matches reality in the majority of cases. However, there are important differences identified that require consideration during model construction. The research and development completed gave rise to the observation that model confidence could be increased to a greater extent by specifying not only the assembly line, but the whole simulation process. The content and framework identified of such a document allowed the critical analysis of the current simulation strategy within Ford to identify possible improvements to the current philosophies employed. The completion of this research and production of an ALS has increased the confidence held in the simulation model, identified ways to accelerate the modelling process and aid Ford Motor Company to remain a world-class diesel engine manufacture
