New Paradigms For Instruction: Impact On Collective Bargaining, Intellectual Property Rights, James Castagnera

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

“The concept of intellectual property is almost dead thanks to the Internet” (Khanna, 2004). That grim statement can not be ignored. The Internet has changed our world enormously, opening new doors of communication and access to knowledge. Such privilege does not come without responsibility, as the degree to which it can be taken advantage of is enormous. The idea of intellectual property is to treat knowledge like private property, using copyrights, trademarks and patents to enforce the notion.

Declining Public Support For Public Higher Education In Pennsylvania - Manuscript, Angelo Armenti Jr.

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

As I contemplate the decline in public financial support for my institution over the sixteen years since I arrived as president in 1992, I can state without fear of contradiction the following Assertion: California University of Pennsylvania is being privatized without a plan. The truth of this Assertion has implications for our University, our students, and most especially for our faculty, and those implications are challenging, inexorable and increasingly obvious.

Undermining Principles Of Academic Freedom: The "Academic Bill Of Rights" Movement, Gerry Turkel

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The “Academic Bill of Rights” movement, launched by right wing activists in

2003, has sought to legislate control over student rights, the hiring of faculty members,

and curricula. It activists claims to seek academic freedom in an academy that has been

virtually taken over by leftists aiming at indoctrinating students into their vision of the

world. Through a variety of groups, including Students for Academic Freedom, the

movement claims to base its initiatives on principles established by the American

Association of University Professors (AAUP). These efforts, which seek to bring

academia under governmental control and which seek to extend a …

Symbolic Interactionism And Moral Hazards In Higher Education, Louella Moore

Administrative Issues Journal

Public colleges and universities today are more than institutions of academic study. They play a role in the economic and social life of their communities by engaging in partnerships aimed at enhancing their scope and brand image. This paper suggests these partnered activities do more than just manage costs and replace state support during economic downturns; the activities are also central to managing the image and political scope of the institution. This paper presents an exploratory, multi-disciplinary examination of the market forces and potential moral hazards inherent in hybrid public/private partnerships in higher education. Agency and symbolic interaction concepts are …

Creating Serious Games At Third Level: Evaluating The Implications Of An In-House Approach, Pauline Rooney

Papers, presentations and other resources

Due to the inherently interdisciplinary nature of serious games their development
necessitates the effective collaboration of team members spanning multiple disciplines and skill sets (Adams 2010). In their attempts to harness these skills, most higher education projects have formed teams through academic/commercial partnerships, whereby academics and commercial developers combine their respective expertises in subject matter/pedagogy and game design/development. However considering the expertise in most higher education institutions and the recent surge in serious games courses at third level, one might reasonably conclude that higher education holds huge potential for developing serious games in-house. Yet surprisingly, such ventures are relatively few. …

An Infrastructure To Support Data Integration And Curation For Higher Educational Research, Linh B. Ngo, Amy W. Apon, Pengfei Xuan, Kimberley Ferguson, Christin Marshall, John Mccann, Yueli Zheng

Publications

The recent challenges for higher education call for research that can offer a comprehensive understanding about the performance and efficiency of higher education institutions in their three primary missions: research, education, and service. In other for this to happen, it is necessary for researchers to have access to a multitude of data sources.However, due to the nature of their academic training, many higher education practitioners do not have access to expertise in working with different data sources. In this work, we describe a design and implementation for an infrastructure that will bring together the tools and the data to provide …

The Closer Bridge Towards Islamic Studies In Higher Education In Malaysia And Indonesia, Abd Rachman Assegaf, Abd Razak Zakaria, Abdul Muhsein Sulaiman

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)

The transformations of Islamic higher education in Indonesia have occurred since the establishment of STI to PTAIN, then IAIN and UIN. It has tremendous impact on the implementation of models of Islamic studies. At early stage of development, Islamic higher education in this country tends to follow a norma-tive-idealistic approach of Islamic studies due to the huge influences of many Middle Eastern graduates. However, changes of Islamic studies approach come to exist when the Western graduates bring non- scriptualistic methodologies and multidisciplinary approach in Islamic studies. If compared to Malaysia, the two poles of Eastern or Western and Islamic or …

Mobile Microblogging: Using Twitter And Mobile Devices In An Online Course To Promote Learning In Authentic Contexts, Yu-Chang Hsu, Yu-Hui Ching

Educational Technology Faculty Publications and Presentations

This research applied a mixed-method design to explore how best to promote learning in authentic contexts in an online graduate course in instructional message design. The students used Twitter apps on their mobile devices to collect, share, and comment on authentic design examples found in their daily lives. The data sources included tweets (i.e., postings on Twitter), students' perceptions about mobile microblogging activities, and self-reported Twitter usage. Based on the tweet analysis, we found that the students appropriately applied the design principles and design terms in their critique of design examples. While the students were mainly engaged in assignment-relevant activities, …

Faculty Senate Newsletter, October 2012, Louisiana State University And Agricultural & Mechanical College

LSU Faculty Senate Publications

Message from President: “Diversity” is one of those words that can carry diverse meanings. As one story in this issue of the Newsletter reports, LSU A&M’s diversity office is making a salutary move by the introduction, in its annual report, of numerous colorful icons representing the many diversities that the world has to offer. That modern, dispersed diversity contrasts with the more centripetal sort that attracted attention earlier in Louisiana’s history, when higher education institutions sought primarily and specifically to remedy past injustices through outreach to African-American student and faculty cadres. The flexibility of the term “diversity” comes in handy …
