By Hsiao Tao Chih
Supervised by Dr. Lin Jenn Chuen
Summary
The ambition of this research is to explore the online learning resources of Tai-Shan Township Local College by means of the analysis of the Community Organization Construction Learning Network learning system, to provide adjustable suggestions for running the College‘s business persistently.
There are four main purposes of the research:
1. exploring learning network system related theories
2. analyzing Tai-Shan Township Local College’s current structure, system, and inner and outer environmental conditions

Whose Voice Counts? A Critical Examination of Discourses Surrounding the Body Mass Index
No full textThe Body Mass Index (BMI) is almost universally used by health practitioners and the general public to determine how to classify a person\u27s body in terms of relative weight. The author traces the story of the vocal actors who developed and championed the BMI as it moved from obscurity to occupy a central position in dominant discourse about body size and its relationship to health. She also highlights the voice of a fat advocate who is challenging not only the BMI, but the general dominant discourse concerning the relationship between body size, health, and personal value. The article serves as a call to all communication researchers working in health contexts to carefully consider how their work might reinforce or challenge this dominant discourse
Social Tools: More than Just a Good Time?
No full textBy now, most of us in Libraryland are well aware of the phenomenon called Web 2.0, also known as the Read/Write or Social Web. Web 2.0 has many characteristics but three stand out: 1) the user (as well as the author) can create content, 2) the Web, and not an external software program, is the platform and 3) real-time communication is enabled and encouraged. Indeed, many libraries have enthusiastically embraced Web 2.0, eagerly integrating these technologies into library services.1 Others are just now taking the plunge. But can these social web applications really support a library’s strategic goals and objectives or are all of these libraries merely keeping up with the Techno-Joneses? At the Library @ Mohawk, we believe they can and we’ll explain how we’ve integrated social software into library service in order to support our goals and objectives
Creative connections: The essay in the context of the creative PhD
No full textWhen Inga Clendinnen suggests in the preface to Agamemnon’s Kiss that essays should not preach, teach, exhort or declare she joins an honourable society of essay writers who feel curiously compelled to define, explain and justify their chosen genre. The essay is variously regarded as an exquisite art form, an opportunity for reflective rumination or an invitation to join in conversation. While resistant to simple categorisation, the essay form is all these things ... and is ... much more. The possibilities of essaying in a creative PhD are discussed in the context of the author’s own research looking at the bond between women and horses. Parallels are drawn between aspects of horse training, creative practice and essay writing as alternative approaches to the production of a creative PhD are examined. The author describes the multiple roles performed by the essays in her own inherently organic dissertation, not only as the creative component of the research, but also as the connective path between the exegesis and the creative work and the author and her audience. Essayists including Montaigne, Adorno, Huxley, Joeres, Clendinnen and Dessaix are consulted

[[alternative]]A taxonomic study of the Boraginaceae s. str. of Taiwan
No full text[[abstract]]In the course of a taxonomic study of the Boraginaceae s. str. in Taiwan, 15 taxa of 7 genera are recognized, including a new combination and a new record, Trigonotis peduncularis (Trev.) Bentham ex Baker & S. Moore. Base on similarities in morphology and isozyme data (genetic similarity higher than 0.926 between each 2 populations), Trigonotis formosana and Trigonotis elevatovenosa, recognized as distinct species in the Flora of Taiwan, are treated as varieties of T. formosana.
In this study, nutlet morphology are shown to be important in distinguishing plants of Taiwan Boraginaceae s. str. Habit, morphology of inflorescence, corolla, and stigma are diagnostic at generic level; hair types and leaf morphology are used to distinguish related taxa. Pollen types, shape and ornamentation of apertures are useful in separating taxa of Taiwan Boraginaceae s. str.
Studies of chromosome cytology reveals that Taiwan Boraginaceae s. str. are based on n=12. First reports on chromosome numbers included Bothriospermum zeylanicum, Cynoglossum alpestre, Cynoglossum lanceolatum var. formosanum, Thyrocarpus sampsonii, Trichodesma calycosum var. formosanum (all above are n=12), and Trigonotis formosana var. elevatovenosa (n=24). Our chromosome counts of Cynoglossum furcatum (n=13) and Heliotropium ovalifolium (n=14) disagree with previous reports.
