The Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center Blueprint for Success
Get PDFThe Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center (Tech Center) at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa presents this Blueprint for Success in order to help The Language Flagship, as well as other federal initiatives and academic programs interested in enhancing high quality language programs, to improve language learning through the strategic integration of technology. Through multiple symposia and outreach events to promote input and collaboration across the Flagship programs, the Tech Center has worked to make the integration of effective language learning technology central to The Language Flagship mission. The participation and input of Language Flagship directors, instructors and students, along with colleagues from across academia, government and the private sector, has been instrumental in refining our views and practices in the integration of blended learning into high quality instruction. We offer these Goals and Guiding Principles to the Flagship Community to assist our efforts in the integration of best practices in technology-based learning into the overall programmatic approaches throughout academia and the federal and private sectors.The Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center (Tech Center) at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa presents this Blueprint for Success in order to help The Language Flagship, as well as other federal initiatives and academic programs interested in enhancing high quality language programs, to improve language learning through the strategic integration of technology.

Innovating Language Education: An NMC Horizon Project Strategic Brief
No full textThe NMC is a leading educational technology organization. A main outcome of the collaboration between the Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center and the NMC was this publication, which highlights recommendations that emerged from discussions of major trends, challenges, and technology developments by experts and practitioners in language technologies in higher education. Innovating Language Education identifies main trends and areas of interest and constitutes a rich resource that includes key definitions and proofs of concept
PERLS Pilot Study Report
No full textThe purpose of this pilot study was to investigate usability of the PERLS (PERvasive Learning System) app and its potential for micro-learning by exploring the nature of Flagship students’ engagement with it, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of its content and technological features, and determining how the app can promote and sustain language learning for both pre- and post-Capstone Flagship students. The pilot study took place during a 2-week period (July 17-August 1, 2017). Participants were 11 pre-Capstone and one post-Capstone Chinese Flagship students who participated in two 30-minute semi-structured interviews conducted at the end of the rst week (Round 1) and at the end of the second week of the pilot study (Round 2). Data obtained from 21 interviews (i.e., 12 interviews from Round 1 and nine interviews from Round 2) were summarily transcribed and qualitatively analyzed to identify emergent themes relevant to the purpose of the pilot study. Based on the analysis of the interview data, this report presents an executive summary of the main ndings and o ers recommendations for improving PERLS
Stakeholder Views of the Place of Technology in Flagship Programs.
No full textThe purpose of this survey is to better understand technology use in The Language Flagship programs. The survey sought to identify technology use and needs from the perspective of Flagship Program directors, faculty, and students. One of the products that emerged from this survey includes an extensive toolkit of apps or technology solutions in current use in the Flagship Programs
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
Exploring Brazilian Portuguese Meanings
Get PDFThis report outlines my internship experience where I focused on a vital resource for Portuguese Flagship students: an interactive chatbot that aids with word choice. My custom GPT facilitates learning about vocabulary nuance in a fun and interactive way trained on specialized linguistics data. The work described in this paper was supported through a Spring internship sponsored by the Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. Faculty supervision of this work was provided by Dr. Rachel Mamiya Hernandez and Dr. Richard Medina
Creating simulation-based blended learning experiences
Get PDFThis session will demonstrate the process of creating simulation-based blended learning experiences. Two simulations developed by the Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center at the University of Hawai‘i will serve as models to illustrate key features of simulation design. The first model simulation consists of a blended learning experience built around a fictitious organization. Learners go through the process of applying for a job that fits their interests and professional goals. Similarly, a simulation designed in collaboration with Bryn Mawr faculty will illustrate key pedagogical concepts and provide insights into the blended learning experience of students studying Russian
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
