Technology, Research and Professional Learning: Constructing Intellectual Exchange in the Rise of Network Society (Perspectives on Rethinking and Reforming Education)
by Jingjing ZhangThis book investigates the use of network technologies in research, and explores how such use potentially changes the nature of professional learning between academics. It attempts to situate the discussion of technology use in real-world research settings, to identify the different forms of participation in intellectual exchange embedded in academic dialogue, and to further contribute to knowledge on how the use of network technology potentially changes the nature of learning. Multiple data collection methods are employed, in two forms of study: a single case study, and a number of individual interviews. The single case study was carried out over a one-year period, and consisted of interviews (22 interviewees), observations, and document review. Individual semi-structured interviews were carried out over a similar period of time with a wider and different population of 24 academics from different Oxford faculties. Half of these were interviewed twice.The main findings presented in this book demonstrate that the direct consequences of technology use are changes to academic dialogue and scholarly communication in general. The change to this critical aspect of research – scholarly communication – has potentially led to more distributed research in interconnected research environments. It is the changes to scholarly communication and the research environment that consequently affect participation in intellectual exchange.

They present a generalizable model indicating necessary and sufficient conditions linked to the building of new “Small i” institutions at normative and cognitive levels of analysis in consort with regulative policy and innovations at macro level “Capital I” institutions. The book clearly explains the relations between institutions and economic growth, an important issue in contemporary economics.The book’s conclusions clarify critical success factors for endogenous regional development growth theory and lead to recommendations for policymakers who are searching for ways to achieve success.
Technology-Based Teaching and Learning in Pakistani English Language Classrooms (Advances in Digital Technologies for Smart Applications)
by Muhammad Mooneeb AliPakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world. Unexpectedly, the education system in Pakistan is quite orthodox in teaching and learning. There are numerous educational institutes in Pakistan but they are rigorously following conventions. There are problems with infrastructure, and in some areas, the basic facilities are also not there. Sometimes the classrooms are overpopulated, and sometimes there are places where no teacher is available to teach the students. There are instances where the basic infrastructure is not complete and there are no proper classrooms for teaching and learning. All these factors are causing a lot of problems for learners to compete in the modern world. English enjoys the status of official language in the country but, surprisingly, learning English is a troublesome area. There are problems not only in basic English language learning but also many second language learners face problems when they appear in international tests and competitive examinations. English language classrooms are usually boring and uninteresting. Therefore, this book is written with an aim to provide alternative solutions to the conventional methods by integrating modern technology tools in Pakistani classrooms. The scope of this book is widened for language researchers, policymakers, readers and administrators of the government to analyse some of the problems and issues mentioned in this book and develop a roadmap for better education.Some of the key elements of this book are as follows: This is the first research-based book to explore some of the latest research tools in Pakistani classrooms This book is based on research-based chapters Shows pictures of local English language classrooms Provides insights and practices for integrating modern methods in English language classrooms

Technology: New Trajectories in Law (New Trajectories in Law)
by Penny Crofts Honni van RijswijkPlacing contemporary technological developments in their historical context, this book argues for the importance of law in their regulation. Technological developments are focused upon overcoming physical and human constraints. There are no normative constraints inherent in the quest for ongoing and future technological development. In contrast, law proffers an essential normative constraint. Just because we can do something, does not mean that we should. Through the application of critical legal theory and jurisprudence to pro-actively engage with technology, this book demonstrates why legal thinking should be prioritised in emerging technological futures. This book articulates classic skills and values such as ethics and justice to ensure that future and ongoing legal engagements with socio-technological developments are tempered by legal normative constraints. Encouraging them to foreground questions of justice and critique when thinking about law and technology, the book addresses law students and teachers, lawyers and critical thinkers concerned with the proliferation of technology in our lives.

Tecnoceno: Algoritmos, biohackers y nuevas formas de vida
by Flavia CostaDescripción de esta era en la que, mediante la puesta en marcha de tecnologías de alta complejidad y altísimo riesgo, dejamos huellas en el mundo que exponen no solo a las poblaciones de hoy, sino a las generaciones futuras, de nuestra especie y de otras especies, en los próximos milenios. Chernóbil, la crisis financiera de 2008, los incendios en el Amazonas o la pandemia de coronavirus no son eventos aislados. Son "accidentes normales", síntomas del crecimiento y la destrucción acelerados, que, en menos de setenta años, transformaron nuestra vida y la del planeta para siempre. En Tecnoceno Flavia Costa delinea con sutileza la trama cultural y política de este mundoambiente alucinatorio cuya virtualidad se sostiene en una red material hecha de cables, satélites y edificios, por donde desfilan bioartistas, ciencia forense, organizaciones de derechos humanos, sistemas de vigilancia y empresarios transhumanistas. Y advierte sobre el papel clave que cumplen hoy las huellas: las biométricas, las comportamentales y las que dejamos en el suelo, la atmósfera y los océanos. Unas porque su capitalización ha desatado una feroz batalla geopolítica. Otras porque de ellas depende el futuro de la Tierra. «Los "accidentes normales" no son producto de una guerra, una negligencia o un sabotaje, sino que son inseparables de la productividad del sistema, de su desarrollo, de su incremento y de las contingencias que siempre se abren cuando se dispara una acción tecnológica hipercompleja hacia el futuro.» «Estamos ante una nueva cultura del yo que se exhibe ante los demás; un sujeto que, así como asume la individualidad somática, se reconoce también como emisor continuo de señales, como obra viviente, que se experimenta, se expresa, se juzga y actúa sobre sí, en parte, en el lenguaje del espectáculo. Y que se entrena como creador de su propia audiencia.»
Teenagers From Outer Space
by Mike PondsmithSo How Does a Six-Armed Green-Skinned Guy from Arcturus Get a Date on a Saturday Night? Yo, dude! Aliens from Beyond the Stars have invaded our planet! They're enrolling their kids in our schools, shopping in our shopping malls, and hanging out in our fast food joints! High school is never going to be the same again. Six-armed green-skinned guys from Arcturus are gonna date your kid sister! Silicon-based lifeforms are gonna poke their school lunch and wonder what it's supposed to be! On second thought, maybe high school won't be so different after all. What Is This Thing? Teenagers from Outer Space is a roleplaying game set on an Earth where fun-loving space aliens go to our high schools and party with the Earth kids. In the game you play the part of a teenager-alien or human-and have adventures fighting mutant monstrosities, saving the world from ravening rabbits from the X dimension, and getting your homework in on time. You're not a gamer? No sweat, dude. Teenagers is a giggle. You'll have fun reading it, even if you never play. (Honest. Hey, trust us on this one, okay?) And if you decide to play, it'll be a snap. Unlike other roleplaying games, Teenagers doesn't have encyclopedia-long rules that you have to study like a textbook before you can play. You can learn to play this thing in minutes. Seconds, even. . . . Well, okay, maybe not seconds. And if you are a gamer-hey, butchering orcs is swell for a while, but isn't it time for a change of pace? Dragons are dangerous and dungeons are deadly, but there's nothing quite as awesome, quite as fearful, quite as horrifying as an order to report to...the principal's office!
