Presentation Abstract:
Nebraska Law’s online Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law program is a part-time online option for industry professionals. The online LL.M. (a post-law degree masters level program) was created in 2012 to address the growing demand for the program by experienced practitioners who want to obtain an LL.M. degree while maintaining their existing work - however our online LL.M. demands students to “attend” classes synchronously with students who attend on-campus. Initially the program utilized Adobe Connect for our virtual classrooms, but we have since moved to a mixture of Zoom and other VoIP services in conjunction with classroom management tools. Student feedback tells us that our live, real-time, interaction has been key in the success of our program but it certainly has presented many hurdles and logistical challenges.
This presentation will discuss why we believe this “in-person facetime” in online instruction is valuable, the 2 challenges of maintaining an in-person classroom and a virtual classroom at the same time, what platforms have been successful and why, and a frank conversation of the challenges we are still addressing.
Importance:
(1) An understanding the uses and limitations of several high-profile virtual classroom options.
(2) The benefits and the draw-backs to managing online students and on-campus at the same time in class.
(3) Why we believe this “in-person facetime” in online instruction is valuable.
(4) Solutions we\u27ve learned - via trial and error - in teaching, testing, and providing student services to remote students at the post-doctoral level.

Get PDFThis paper applies lessons from the Artemis Accords to the nuclear arms regime—specifically asking whether strategic soft law agreements could create a stop gap for the shortcomings of nuclear arms control. Soft law can lead to more consistent communications, helping build predictability and trust, which is a recipe for a more secure world. *This essay is updated from a previously published version and appears here by permission of the Minnesota Journal of International Law
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
