Facing the Future: the Changing Shape of Academic Skills Support at Bournemouth University
No full textThis 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

Sex ratio estimates of Roosevelt elk using counts and Bowden's estimator
No full textAdult sex ratios were calculated with count data, and with Bowden's estimator, and results were evaluated for potential bias in a population of Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) surveyed from 1997 to 2011. The mean and high count sex ratio estimates were two to eight percent lower, on average, than the Bowden's sex ratio estimates. Bowden's estimator accounts for imperfect detection and is more likely to reliably estimate sex ratios of Roosevelt elk and, potentially, other ungulates.Biolog
