Podcasting Business Learning: Addressing the New Learning Styles for Generation Y - 1 views

  •  
    by Stevina Evuleocha, Steve Ugbah California State University Abstract The quest for an ideal medium to deliver business content to Gen Y learners has led instructors to consider the Internet, since digital content that exists in databases can be manipulated by a range of programming services (Shim et al., 2006). Shim et al., have also asserted that web development has been hampered by bandwidth and difficulties of "back end integration," consequently, impacting the presentational aspects of data and user interfaces (Yang & Tang, 2005). Innovations in computer and software technologies appear to have ameliorated the technical difficulties, resulting in the emergence of new media such as podcasting, webcasting, videostreaming, blogging, and Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) technologies (Shim, 2002). These new media streams can be integrated into traditional lectures, thus enhancing the educational environment (McLaughlin, 2006), particularly for Gen Y learners. This paper discusses the efficacy of podcasting in business education, reviews the characteristics of Generation Y (Gen Y) learners, discusses learning styles and theories that support mobile learning, reviews learning styles of Gen Y learners, and discusses whether adaptations are necessary to address the updated needs of this new generation of learners in the business communication context.

Numericable dévoile son projet de croissance pour le « nouveau » SFR, High-Te... - 2 views

  •  Environ 20 % des gens vont migrer [du réseau fixe ADSL de SFR vers le câble].
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      Est-ce que ce sera une source d'économie sur la boucle locale ?
  • (il projette une hausse du chiffre d'affaires de 2 % à 5 % par an) et de la rentabilité (40 % de taux de marge consolidé)
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      Tout bénéfice donc mais quel capex pour développer cette croissance ?
  • Non seulement la future entité achètera moins d'ADSL en gros à Orange, mais, en plus, elle va renégocier l'accord conclu entre SFR et Orange pour le codéploiement et le co-investissement dans la fibre optique en zone moyennement dense. Autrement dit, Numericable ne veut plus faire de la fibre là où il y a déjà du câble, et pourrait proposer à Orange de co-investir dans son câble.
    • Emmanuel Zilberberg
       
      Ce serait-là que la marge se formerait (OPEX) et que des CAPEX seraient évités ?

    Elizabeth, I do a similar activity with my students, and this year we are using a flip video camera to create a movie of the phases. Students will move the chromosomes, narrate from a summary script that they have written for each phase, and then put the clips together to make the video. They love to watch and listen to their explanations, and the videos can be used as a review.

Times Higher Education - Next-gen PhDs fail to find Web 2.0's 'on-switch' - 62 views

  • only a small proportion of those surveyed are using technology such as virtual-research environments, social bookmarking, data and text mining, wikis, blogs and RSS-feed alerts in their work. This contrasts with the fact that many respondents professed to finding technological tools valuable.Just under half of those polled used RSS feeds and only about 10 per cent used social bookmarking, with Generation Y students exhibiting the same behaviour as other age groups.
