Technology’s role in learning at a commuter campus: The student perspective

Patterns of technology ownership and usage, as well as skills with and preferences for various technologies, affect the college experience (Educause 2012). Students at a commuter campus of a large Midwestern public university were surveyed about technology and the learning process: 94% of the respondents believed that technology had the potential to benefit learning and 85% thought it was central to their academic success. Students credited technology-enhanced courses with increased and more effective communication with instructors, the ability to better manage course activities and expanded opportunities for practice and reinforcement. Students’ prior experiences with a course management system affected their perceptions of the role of technology and their subsequent beliefs about the benefits of its use in their university courses. Implications for administrators who make decisions about faculty development, student retention and funding for technology-enhanced course offerings are discussed.     

我国大学排行研究与实践的进展及评析

大学排行在传统上属于社会评估范畴。近年来,由于多主体的参与与高校改革,大学排行的传统概念与实践逐渐发生着变化。大学排行应该围绕“大学发展”的核心指标展开,构建大学发展性排行指标与评估体系。因为只有大学发展了,才能满足多方需求,更好地实现大学排行多种功能。     

Monte Carlo法在含体积缺陷压力管道可靠性分析中的应用

工业生产装置中,压力管道是重要的组成部分.通常压力管道中存在着局部减薄,而且局部减薄尺寸等参数具有物理不确定性和统计不确定性,所以应该用可靠性来定量衡量其安全状况.依据GB/T 19624-2004计算模型进行蒙特卡罗模拟,计算局部减薄管道的可靠性.该计算方法使用方便,结果可靠.

Using Google Forms to track library space usage

This article is a response to the excellent “Using Mobile Technology to Observe Student Study Behaviors and Track Library Space Usage” by Susan Thompson. Thompson reviews the literature regarding user counts on mobile devices and describes the California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) Library's evaluation of SUMA, Counter+, and CloudOn. After trialing these mobile technologies, CSUSM selected CloudOn. At New York University Abu Dhabi, we use Google Forms to conduct user counts on an iPad and Google Sheets to evaluate these data. We find that Google Forms are easy to set up, modify as necessary, and present the data in easy-to-manipulate spreadsheets.     

Teaching Them to Teach: Programmatic Evaluation of Graduate Assistants’ Teaching Performance

Academic libraries are one of the most important sources of “on the job” training for future library instructors. Librarians who supervise and assess these future library instructors (often in graduate assistant positions) often choose to provide observations and feedback each semester to these instructors in training. Scholarly literature, however, provides little information on whether this system helps graduate assistants to develop as teachers. The authors of this article assessed graduate assistants’ performance as teachers over three semesters using a system of observation and self-assessment. They analyzed both patterns and areas of growth and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this system.     

学生评教中存在的问题及对策研究
