Higher Education in the Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
No full textThis open access collection examines how higher education responds to the demands of the automation economy and the fourth industrial revolution. Considering significant trends in how people are learning, coupled with the ways in which different higher education institutions and education stakeholders are implementing adaptations, it looks at new programs and technological advances that are changing how and why we teach and learn. The book addresses trends in liberal arts integration of STEM innovations, the changing role of libraries in the digital age, global trends in youth mobility, and the development of lifelong learning programs. This is coupled with case study assessments of the various ways China, Singapore, South Africa and Costa Rica are preparing their populations for significant shifts in labour market demands – shifts that are already underway. Offering examples of new frameworks in which collaboration between government, industry, and higher education institutions can prevent lagging behind in this fast changing environment, this book is a key read for anyone wanting to understand how the world should respond to the radical technological shifts underway on the frontline of higher education

Diversity and Inclusion in Global Higher Education
No full textThis open access book offers pioneering insights and practical methods for promoting diversity and inclusion in higher education classrooms and curricula. It highlights the growing importance of international education programs in Asia and the value of understanding student diversity in a changing, evermore interconnected world. The book explores diversity across physical, psychological and cogitative traits, socio-economic backgrounds, value systems, traditions and emerging identities, as well as diverse expectations around teaching, grading, and assessment. Chapters detail significant trends in active learning pedagogy, writing programs, language acquisition, and implications for teaching in the liberal arts, adult learners, girls and women, and Confucian heritage communities. A quality, relevant, 21st Century education should address multifaceted and intersecting forms of diversity to equip students for deep life-long learning inside and outside the classroom. This timely volume provides a unique toolkit for educators, policy-makers, and professional development experts
Some of the Current Methods of Assessing Railroad Companies Operating Properties for Property Tax Purposes by State Assessing Bodies
No full textThis independent study into the current methods of assessing railroad companies operating properties for ad valorem property tax purposes by State Assessing Bodies is by no means complete study in this field. However, many hours have been spent by the writer reading and studying from available sources prior to developing and writing on this subject. This survey does, I believe, bring to light the most current methods of assessing a railroad’s operating properties on a state level. It appears that some of the state appraisers are meeting together, comparing their assessment problems, and tending towards more uniformity in their railroad property tax assessing formulas. A survey has also been made of the results of assessing methods with respect to one railroads ad velorem property tax obligation the past several years. I assume the results shown for this company would be common, generally speaking, for the railroad industry as a whole. Some very valuable data has been obtained from many unpublished official records of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Acknowledgments are due to them for kind permission to use some of their records and from numerous other studies prepared by other railroad companies. As with all other studies, the analysis and conclusions are those of the author, who alone assumes responsibility therefor.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
