In the last few years’ online cloud computing courses have become more common place providing the student the capability to attend courses from home, from anywhere in the world. As this new paradigm is being adopted by colleges and universities, the next associated potential wave of change is a cloud technology termed “online proctoring.” This technology and method facilitates the online student taking tests and exams from a remote, off campus location. This technology could also potentially mean education institutions scale to larger student numbers than previously defined by the physical constraints of exam halls or lab facilities as well …

The transition from the social care practice environment to a third level academic institution for the first time as a mature age student can be much anticipated, exciting and stimulating but also fraught with feelings of self-doubt, unease and difficulty. These feelings override for many mature age students the realities of commencing undergraduate study. Before commencement, most mature age students neither give much thought to issues pertaining to transition, nor believe that such issues are relevant or likely to affect them. The presence of part-time, work-based undergraduate degree programmes in social care has continued to grow stronger in recent times. …

This article presents two similar experiments on curricular flexibility, each of them performed in different Higher Educational Institutions in the network of technological education in Brazil. Both experiments aimed to allow better training routes, specially directed to the idea of the entrepreneurial university, applicable to enrolled students. On the other hand, it intended to reach better management of the Institutes resources. We used in both experiments the same curricular format, where all the subjects that made up a particular course had a workload of 40 hours and lasted only a month. Each month, new students could be enrolled in courses …
