A New Way To Look At Culture And Its Influence On Advertising Around The World, Pamela K. Morris Aug 2008

A New Way To Look At Culture And Its Influence On Advertising Around The World, Pamela K. Morris

Pamela K. Morris

Research investigates culture and its influencing role. With anthropological theories, a model is created to show how cultural dimensions influence media and advertising content. Encompassing 108 countries, a factor analysis of 71 country characteristics finds four dimensions: Holistic, Nationalistic, Feminine and Masculine. A content analysis of magazine advertisements provides data of images that are tested for correlations with cultural dimensions. The study updates cultural literature with new social phenomena data, like cell phone and Internet users.


Information Literacy In The New Curriculum, Michiel Moll Jul 2008

Information Literacy In The New Curriculum, Michiel Moll

Michiel E Moll

South Africa has undergone major changes in the school curriculum. At the same time, international emphasis on the importance of Information Literacy has found reflections locally in many calls for the development of school libraries (e.g. Arnold, 2002: 178), but has remained a problem in the actual implementation. This is also reflected in initial teacher training which has moved Information Literacy to a skill of the teacher, rather than an essential part of the curriculum that they have to teach.

This paper first looks briefly at the changes in national curricula in South Africa, and then at the current curriculum, …

Advanced Literacy: An Integrated Approach To The Grammar & Composition Course, Heather W. Allen Jun 2008

Advanced Literacy: An Integrated Approach To The Grammar & Composition Course, Heather W. Allen

Heather Willis Allen

Foreign language (FL) curricula at the advanced undergraduate level often separate courses focused on literature, cultural studies, or linguistics--a typical example being the advanced grammar and composition course. The separation of content from linguistic skills has been called into question in recent years by scholars such as Byrnes, Donato, Kern, Kramsch, Maxim, and Swaffar and was highlighted in the 2007 MLA Report “Foreign Languages and Higher Education: Structures for a Changed World” in favor of more integrative approaches to developing students’ FL competencies. This presentation demonstrates how a literacy-based approach (Kern, 2000) is used in shaping one advanced French writing …

Video Games And The Da Vinci Code: Effective Use Of Multimedia In Information Literacy Instruction And Tutorials, Christopher A. Sweet Apr 2008

Video Games And The Da Vinci Code: Effective Use Of Multimedia In Information Literacy Instruction And Tutorials, Christopher A. Sweet

Christopher A. Sweet

Admit it, we've all had students nod off during instruction sessions! The material we need to cover is essential to student learning, but difficult to present in an engaging manner. Effective use of multimedia means utilizing technology to supplement (but not replace!) good teaching practices. This presentation will look at how to incorporate some freely available multimedia sources into your instruction sessions and library web tutorials.

The Other China, Vilma Seeberg

Vilma Seeberg

Evaluating primary enrollment figures for rural children particularly girls against sex ration for newborns and NGO reports of lack of birth registrations of girls (hei hukou), produces a net primary enrollment rate (49%) half of the official data (98%). Poverty data and One-Child Policy fines explain the context of the lower enrollment rates.


A Hybrid Approach To Projects In Gaming Courses, Amber Settle, Joe Linhoff, André Berthiaume Feb 2008

A Hybrid Approach To Projects In Gaming Courses, Amber Settle, Joe Linhoff, André Berthiaume

Amber Settle

We describe an approach to projects used in game development courses that supports learning individual skills while also developing team skills. Early assignments focus on developing individual skills in coding and content creation, and when those skills are honed, students form teams to work on a larger and more complex game. Classes that use a hybrid approach, that is individual projects that build toward a large group project, allow students to solidly learn game development skills required of gaming graduates and yet stimulate creativity and challenge students to move beyond their comfort zone.

Beating The Odds With The Insider’S Scoop: Tips And Tricks From The Library Secrets! Librarian, Jennifer Kelley Dec 2007

Beating The Odds With The Insider’S Scoop: Tips And Tricks From The Library Secrets! Librarian, Jennifer Kelley

Jennifer Kelley

Is the research process an “unbeatable” game, where the odds are always against the student? We see our students sitting blankly in front of computer screens, dropping search terms into databases like coins into one-armed bandits, hoping for the jackpot—full-text articles on their subject seemingly elusive as three cherries in a row.

Games generally have a learning curve—the more you play, the better you become. Increasingly, however, gamers turn to tips and tricks resources for shortcuts, strategies and cheat codes that can give them the edge and propel them to the next level. When it comes to research, the stakes …
