Institution initiatives and support related to faculty development of open educational resources and alternative textbooks     

Veronica McGowan 《Open Learning》2020,35(1):24-45

ABSTRACT

Evidence exists that American institutions of higher education are well-entrenched in the consideration of mechanisms for supporting the implementation of Open Educational Resources (OER) and alternative textbooks. Literature reveals that developing and implementing OER is a significant undertaking in terms of time and human resources. This study deploys content analysis of a sample of United States regionally based higher education institutional websites to determine the current state of institutional support mechanisms to implementers just embarking on the OER journey. Findings reveal that institutions have made strides in the development of faculty mini-grants and stipends with guidelines, proposal checklists, and weighting mechanisms to inform decision making. However, due to widespread language across the stratified sample emphasising award pool and individual limits, it is clear that OER funding is still seeking wider support as a permanent funded resource. Sponsorship of institutional OER initiatives seems split between institutional library functions and teaching and learning centres. Other issues, such as ownership and licensing, are significantly underdeveloped in field implementation or fall in a large continuum of practices. Recommendations of shared responsibility and use of data driven initiatives are provided that may improve institutional support of faculty OER adoption, adaption and creation.  相似文献   

支持向量分类算法在5-HT3受体拮抗剂的构效关系研究中的应用     

杨善升  陆文聪  纪晓波  陈念贻 《上海大学学报(英文版)》2006,10(4):366-370

In this work, support vector classification （SVC） algorithm was used to build structure-activity relationship （SAR） model of the 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 （5-HT3 ） receptor antagonists with 26 compounds. In a benchmark test, SVC was compared with several techniques of machine learning currently used in the field. The prediction performance of the model was discussed on the basis of the leave-one-out cross-validation. The results show that the accuracy of prediction of SVC model was higher than those of back propagation artificial neural network （BP ANN）, K-nearest neighbor （KNN） and Fisher methods.  相似文献

Student outcomes and perceptions of instructors' demands and support in online and traditional classrooms   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Gayle E. Mullen  Mary K. Tallent-Runnels   《The Internet and Higher Education》2006,9(4):257-266

In this study, seven graduate students were interviewed and 187 (91 online; 96 traditional) graduate students were surveyed about perceptions of differences in instructors' demands and support and student' motivation, self-regulation, satisfaction, and perceptions of learning in these environments. Results indicated significant differences in students' perceptions on all variables except self-efficacy. Results indicated a strong effect for differences between perceived instructor affective support in online and traditional classrooms. Although students in traditional classrooms ranked instructors' affective support higher, the variable had a stronger relationship with online students' satisfaction. Differences between online and traditional students' reports of instructors' academic support, instructors' demands, and students' satisfaction were significant with medium effect sizes. Results are important because they provide information about students' perceptions of the differences in environments created by instructors that relate to students' affective outcomes.  相似文献

Integrated MSS effects: An empirical health care investigation     

Guisseppi A. Forgionne  Rajiv Kohli 《Information processing & management》1995,31(6)

Since accurate decisions are required for effective management, much research has focused on information systems that support decision making. Recently, this research has engendered frameworks, such as the management support system (MSS), that are designed to provide comprehensive and integrated support for the decision making process. Few, if any, studies have empirically measured the effects of these frameworks on decision making. This article offers empirical evidence on MSS effectiveness. It overviews the decision making process, presents an MSS for supporting the process, and assesses the influences of the MSS on the process and outcomes of health care decision making. The paper also examines the implications of the analyses for information systems research and health care practice.  相似文献   

家庭支持网与农村空巢家庭养老问题   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

从乡土资源与现代社会保障视角看,家庭支持网在解决农村空巢家庭养老问题中发挥了极为重要但又相对有限的作用,其在农村空巢家庭养老中的角色需要进一步发掘。借助政府公共力量的投入重新发掘这一乡土资源,强化农村社区互助养老模式可为农村空巢家庭养老问题的缓解开辟新的途径。  相似文献
