A distributed model for managing academic staff in an international online academic programme

Online delivery of programmes of Higher Education typically involves a distributed community of students interacting with a single university site, at which the teachers, learning resources and administration of the programme are located. The alternative model, of a fully “Virtual University”, which assumes no physical campus, poses problems of resource provision, recognition, and accreditation. We describe here an intermediate solution, based on an established on-ground university, but in which both students and teachers are distributed worldwide. We discuss the issues of management, communication, and quality assurance that are faced in implementing this fully distributed model. We describe the solutions we have applied in a wholly online programme of Higher Education which is delivered to over 2,000 graduate students in more than 100 countries by a worldwide pool of instructors.

幼儿园教师心理健康变迁的横断历史比较

采用横断历史研究的元分析方法,本研究选取1979至2012年间18项采用症状自评量表(SCL-90)的研究报告,分析5826名幼儿园教师在该量表上的得分随年代的变化趋势及相关因素.结果表明:SCL-90各因子均值与年代之间均呈正相关(0.15～0.51),年代可以解释9个因子2％至26％的变异,9个因子均值的增加量为0.06～0.26(效果量d为0.14～0.51),这表明幼儿园教师心理健康问题在缓慢增加;SCL-90中5个因子(躯体化、焦虑、敌对、偏执和精神病性)的标准差与年代呈显著正相关(0.18～0.27),这表明不同幼儿园教师群体在这5个因子上的心理健康水平差异在逐年增大;城市幼儿园教师心理健康水平低于农村幼儿园教师;公办幼儿园教师的心理健康水平低于私立幼儿园教师.

The perspective of six Malaysian students on playing video games： Beneficial or detrimental？

This study provides a glimpse into understanding the potential benefits as well as harm of playing video games from the perspective of six Malaysian secondary school students, aged 16-17 years old. The rationale of the study is to enable parents, educators, administrators and policy makers to develop a sound understanding on the impact of playing video games before making any judgment on the contemporary youth culture. Thus, further decision on the acceptance of video games as a new innovation in school or at home could be considered. Although this study is not very extensive, the findings suggest that playing video games contributes to cognitive, social, motivational and emotional development. However, potential harms do exist. Parents play an important role in guiding their children either directly or indirectly, as indicated by the respective students. Caution is advised in the interpretation of the study＇s findings as it is solely based on the perspectives of the students, as the first person＇s views. Nevertheless, each student has their very own perspective on the impact of video games on them.
