An Address to All Believers in Christ: By A Witness To The Divine Authenticity Of The Book Of Mormon
by David WhitmerDavid Whitmer was selected by Joseph Smith to be one of only three special witnesses to the Book of Mormon. Because most of the book was produced in David’s own house, he was an eye-witness to the translation process itself, and to the early history the Latter Day Saint movement.Later in life, David compiled this Address to All Believers, honestly critiquing actions of Joseph Smith and the early church. The reflections and honesty of an older man bring us priceless information on Joseph Smith and the early history of his movement. But it must be noted that Whitmer maintained his testimony of the Book of Mormon to death. That fact alone commands attention to the information and insights he provides.-Print ed.
Addressing Tensions and Dilemmas in Inclusive Education: Resolving Democratically
by Brahm NorwichThis updated second edition of Addressing Tensions and Dilemmas in Inclusive Education further develops the critical analysis of the initial edition that integrates the interaction between different perspectives and positions in the field of inclusive education. This key resource expands the arguments present in the first edition with clearer implications about how to address tensions and dilemmas in inclusive education, and resolve them through democratic deliberation. Based on contemporary research, theory and policy, as well as responding to current perspectives towards the education of children and young people with learning difficulties and disabilities, Brahm Norwich extends and refines the original core argument of the previous edition – the practical realisation of inclusion involves tensions and dilemmas that have to be addressed and resolved. This core analysis focuses on:- identification and classification- current national and international conceptions- pedagogic and curriculum issues- organisation of schooling- parental and student perspectives and the contribution of research to policy and practice.Re-engaging with the fundamental issues in the field and providing a coherent perspective that recognises and justifies the inter-connection between specialised and general school provision, this accessible new edition will be of interest to all students and researchers of inclusive education.

Part I covers the concept and evolution of digital learning and education technology. This part examines the role of technology in higher education and proposes a toolkit for personalized learning and continuous assessment.Parts II and III creatively represent the innovative teaching techniques and learning models under advance learning pedagogy. Chapters under parts II and III are specially designed to present the more simplistic view of various technology-based advanced learning models and resources like flipped classes, gaming designs for e-learning, etc. Part III of the book also extensively covers various case studies/instructor’s stories of technology enabled learning experiences.Part IV focuses on the evaluation of advance learning pedagogy and tools. It also covers the future of information in learning (like formative analytics) and improved learning outcomes using technology and government initiatives in the form of various future oriented education policies like the Digital Action Education Plan (2021–2027).The wide-ranging content also covers the challenges of implementation of advanced learning pedagogy and offers recommendations to overcome such challenges. The book will grab the attention of the modern (IT-enabled) instructor’s fraternity, and students and researchers in the area of technology and education. The book can be further used by policymakers and educational-technology startups to formulate and design technology-based higher education teaching policies and procedures which are indeed helpful in measuring learning outcomes.
