    Students' experiences and expectations of technologies: an Australian study designed to inform planning and development decisions

    No full text
    The pace of technological change accompanied by an evolution in social, work-based and study behaviours and norms poses particular challenges for universities as they strive to develop high quality and sustainable technology-rich learning environments. Maintaining currency with the latest advances is resource intensive, hence the costs incurred in upgrading existing and introducing new technologies need to be carefully weighed up against the potential benefits to students. This calls for a multidimensional approach to planning, with the student voice being an important dimension. Three Australian universities have recently completed a project to gain a better understanding of students\u27 experiences and expectations of technologies in everyday life and for study purposes. The LMS and 25 other technologies ranging from established university offerings (email, learning management systems) to freely available social networking technologies (YouTube, Facebook) were surveyed. More than 10,000 students responded. This paper discusses the development of the survey and presents the broad trends that have emerged in relation to the current use of technologies and desired future use of these for learning purposes. The implications of the survey findings for developing institutional infrastructure to engage students and support their learning are highlighted

    The development of technology education internationally

    No full text
    The development of technology education within countries and regions is set within the historical, cultural, and political environment. Curriculum, teacher education, and in fact educational research do not sit in isolation from these. Each of the chapters in this section sets out the context for technology education in its respective country and provides a historical and political analysis of the development of technology education as a field of development. The history of technology education is a long one if we consider its development back to the days of craft, and in this section many of the chapters trace the journey from craft through to much broader notions of technology and technological literacy

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    Lhokpu morphology: a first functional and comparative account

    No full text
    Lhokpu is a Trans-Himalayan language spoken in southwestern Bhutan in the district of Samtsi. Lhokpu, along with Gongduk and Black Mountain Mönpa, represents the oldest linguistic layer of Bhutan. Lhokpu is nowadays seriously endangered and its phylogenetic affiliation within the Trans-Himalayan phylum is unknown. This talk will present a first account on Lhokpu nominal and verbal morphology and on the phylogenetic position of Lhokpu. A discussion of selected individual morphemes and their functions will be followed by a comparative analysis of the morphological material within the Trans-Himalayan context. Initial fieldwork was done by George van Driem in 1990, 1992 and 2002 and further by Gwendolyn Hyslop and Karma Tshering in 2012/2013. In summer 2015, a team consisting of George van Driem, Gwendolyn Hyslop, Karma Tshering, Pascal Gerber and Selin Grollmann worked with a Lhokpu speaker in Bern, Switzerland, to supplement the existing data and to write up a first grammatical description of the language

    Value of information-driven innovation in Gerber saddles monitoring

    No full text
    Innovation plays a crucial role in shaping technological, economic, and social progress in modern societies. In the realm of bridge integrity management, the development and diffusion of technologies to acquire information can significantly enhance industries' safety and functionality capabilities. Among the most widely diffused bridge types in Europe and North America, Gerber bridges are particularly susceptible to deterioration over time. Gerber saddles are typically not instrumented and are checked only through visual inspections. This paper introduces the metric of the Value of Information for Innovation to estimate the benefit associated with introducing an established technology in a new market of application. Herein, the operational value of implementing microelectromechanical inclinometers in the integrity management of Gerber saddles is quantified for the specific case of a bridge in northern Italy. Microelectromechanical systems companies may use these results to optimally select the technology price, investigate diverse market strategies, and optimize sensor arrangement
