当前中国科技期刊网刊的合法性探讨     

成敏  郭柏寿 《编辑学报》2019,31(1):24-25

随着互联网的发展与普及,我国科技期刊的纸质版产品逐渐丧失了主导地位,各种形态的数字化期刊包括科技期刊的网刊,因其即时与便捷的获取及检索特性获得飞速发展;然而,目前科技期刊网刊的出版并不十分规范,绝大部分期刊的网刊缺乏法律支撑,因此,文章就我国当前科技期刊网刊的合法性进行探讨,并对网刊的法律地位,违法网刊可能导致的后果以及如何获得网络出版服务许可证等问题进行分析,以期引起整个行业的重视,并为科技期刊网刊的规范化发展提供参考。  相似文献   

Bridging the Gap: Information Literacy and Learning in Online Undergraduate Courses     

Wei Zakharov  Clarence Maybee 《Journal of Library & Information Services in Distance Learning》2019,13(1-2):215-225

This study explores how libraries can enhance information literacy in online undergraduate courses at Purdue University, a large Midwestern research university. The article investigates undergraduate students’ perception of the importance and their awareness of libraries’ services for online learning, challenges of using information to complete course assignments, and the ability to gather and evaluate information to complete online coursework. The findings contribute to four aspects of the Libraries’ programmatic efforts to support undergraduate students taking online courses. These include showing a need for IL, helping students stay connected to resources and support, pedagogic strategies, and strategically targeting courses.  相似文献

随着教育信息化的发展,混合式学习模式开始广泛应用教育教学中。混合式模式作为新型学习模式,对教师的素质和能力提出了更高的要求。教师需要在教学组织过程中发挥引导,启发,监督教学过程的主导作用。本文将通过对混合式学习模式理论的探讨,对教师在大学英语混合式学习模式的主导作用进行分析。  相似文献   

The Authored Voice: Emerging approaches to exegesis design in creative practice PhDs     

Welby Ings 《Educational Philosophy and Theory》2015,47(12):1277-1290

Abstract

In 2004, Robert Nelson noted in creative, practice-led research degrees that the exegesis had been reconceptualised as a cultural contribution to scholarship. He suggested that the challenge this posed was the need for writing to interface effectively with the nature and calibre of the creative work. A decade on from his observation, this article employs a case study to discuss emerging approaches to the exegesis in the work of graphic design doctoral candidates at AUT University in New Zealand. Accepting the multi-perspectival and multi-voiced nature of the practice-led exegesis writer, it discusses approaches to both structure and presentation. In so doing, it also considers specific issues, including negotiated relationships between the role and the nature of the designer’s voice, systems of narration, and issues impacting upon both digital and print formats.  相似文献   

The effect of online co-regulated learning in the implementation of team-based learning on improving students’ involvement     

Chia-Wen Tsai 《高等教育研究与发展》2015,34(6):1270-1280

Many education institutions and teachers are recognizing and applying online learning and related educational technologies to help students achieve satisfactory learning performance. Due to the free entertainment on the Internet that may distract students’ attention from online courses and with the purpose of developing students’ teamwork abilities, the author in this study adopted team-based learning (TBL) and co-regulated learning (CRL) to develop students’ involvement in a blended computing course. The subjects in this study were 111 first-year students from three classes taking a compulsory course titled ‘Applied information technology: data processing’. The first group (G1, which received online TBL and CRL) and the second group (G2, which received online TBL only) were the experimental groups. The last group (CG), which received the traditional teaching method in a blended learning environment, served as the control group. The results in this study indicate that students who receive the online TBL have significantly higher involvement than those without. However, the online CRL does not contribute to better development of students’ involvement in the implementation of TBL. The insights for teachers who plan to adopt e-learning, and the reasons for the ineffectiveness of CRL, are discussed in this study.  相似文献   

Using methodological triangulation to examine the effectiveness of a mentoring program for online instructors     

Michelle Drouin  Jennifer Stewart  Karen Van Gorder 《Distance Education》2015,36(3):400-418

In this quasi-experimental mixed methods study, we examined the effectiveness of a faculty-to-faculty mentoring program to increase student success rates in online courses at an American university. Over one semester, 24 faculty mentees worked with 6 faculty mentors on improving course organization and implementing student engagement techniques. Using methodological triangulation, we found positive results for two of our effectiveness measures (i.e., mentor and mentee feedback and mentors’ ratings of mentees’ courses). However, in terms of our third measure (i.e., student learning data), although institutional data showed that there was a 4.1% aggregate increase in online student success after the intervention, the intervention group made no significantly greater gains than two control groups. Our findings highlight some benefits and shortcomings of these types of university initiatives and also emphasize the importance of using triangulation to integrate participant feedback with formal measures of student success.  相似文献   

Academic workload: the silent barrier to the implementation of technology-enhanced learning strategies in higher education     

Mary Sarah-Jane Gregory  Jason Michael Lodge 《Distance Education》2015,36(2):210-230

The effect of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) strategies in higher education has arguably been transformative despite the not-insignificant barriers existing in this context. Throughout the discourse very little attention has been paid to those primarily responsible for this implementation—academic teaching staff. This paper aims to highlight the impact of academic workload allocations, an often silent barrier to the uptake of TEL strategies in higher education. We will discuss the effects of academic identity and culture, preferential time allocation to associative activities, academic technological capacity, university policies and workload and funding models on the uptake, and implementation on TEL in higher education. Our aim is to highlight the risks to staff, students and institutions should these concerns not be addressed and to propose a model for utilisation by all staff responsible for implementing flexible workload models supportive of further implementation of TEL strategies across the sector.  相似文献   

Online homework impact in undergraduate mathematics and business statistics courses     

Alan F. Chow 《Educational studies》2015,41(3):244-248

This evaluation examines the impact on student success rates related to changes in instructional programmes in undergraduate mathematics and statistics courses. Success for students taking courses with a computer-based homework component was compared with success of students who took the course in prior semesters without the computer-based component. Graphical and analytical tools are used to compare results. Results come from multiple semesters of each type of homework application, for both pre-calculus algebra and business statistics courses. Students whose performance is utilised in this study are undergraduate students taking introductory level college mathematics or business statistics courses, with mostly no prior instruction at this level. Comparing the success of the intervention group with the success of the baseline control group, findings support that the students using the computer-based homework instruction are just as successful as those using the traditional method of homework instruction. Utilising the online homework applications, provide several important advantages in today’s universities, including the reduced time for faculty grading, consistency of graded assignments across all sections of a course and most importantly, immediate feedback for students.  相似文献
